Emily watched Ernie for a long weekend. This was Ernie’s first stay overnight that he wasn’t with family. Ernie had the best time and was well attended to by Emily. I received lots of pictures and prompt responses to my messages. Thank you, Emily!

Ellen did such an amazing job with my senior rescue girl! She has some health issues and is a little shy, so I'm always worried about leaving her for the weekend with someone new, but I could tell she felt comfortable with Ellen right away. Communication was great—Ellen sent photos and updates and made me feel a LOT less guilty about leaving her. I honestly could not have had a better experience, which is saying something coming from a slightly neurotic mom of a special needs dog :) I'll definitely be booking Ellen again in the future!

Venessa is very nice and she took care of my two dogs very well. My big dog is energetic and active but Venessa is very patient. She also took a bath for my little dog for being no charge. I rebooked one stay two mins ago and i would definitely look for Venessa for boarding next time!

Mary was wonderful! She sent at least one update a day, usually more, and my high energy doodle had such a great time with her and her husband and their own dogs. He got lots and lots of exercise with regular walks and zoomies in their giant backyard. We’d love to use Mary again!

Paige & Abby took great care of Yoshi. He was all smiles in his updates and when we picked him up he needed a big nap from all the fun! Will definitely have Yoshi stay with them in the future.

As I told Olivia, she's stuck with us now! I know my baby was spoiled and I loved receiving daily pics of him! It hasn't even been a week yet and I am already requesting to rebook her!

Rayann was very friendly & warm & easy to communicate with. I’m appreciative of the care she provided for my kitten while my spouse and I traveled abroad for 2 weeks. I would surely recommend her services, and I will surely book her again in the near future.

Andrew is wonderful! My Bri was so well taken care of, she almost didn't want to go home. Andrew provides a wonderful home and family environment. Clean, dogs play openly and the videos and pictures show them all having fun and even playing with the kids who adore having dogs around. On a personal note, anyone who fosters a blind and deaf dog shows his love fir animals (BTW, the blind dogs played as much as t h e rest of them). This is not a sitter, the dogs feel at home. Thank you so much.

About: Caring for animals is truly rewarding for me. There’s nothing better than earning the trust of a shy pet, seeing a tail wag or a making a pup smile, and knowing they feel safe and loved while their person is away. A mutual stress relief, hanging with your pet is the best part of my day! I work from home full time, and provide frequent potty and sunshine breaks. I am available before 8 and after 5 for pickups/drop offs/drop ins. My home is designed with pets in mind — safe, calm, and full of love. I live in a clean, cozy space where cats and pups can explore, nap, and get comfy. I’m mindful of every detail, from secure doors and windows to quiet corners for shy or senior pets. My own two friendly, well-behaved cats are used to sharing their space and love making new friends, but I can easily provide separation if your pet prefers solo time. I follow feeding and medication schedules carefully and keep a close eye on every guest’s comfort and well-being. You can expect regular updates and photos, so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and cared for as if they were my own.

A Day In the Life for a Rover Pup

Dog boarding with an active Star Sitter on Rover will follow the sitter’s schedule and set routine, which may look like a(n):
  • Morning neighborhood walk, such as a stroll through downtown Columbus’ Short North Arts District
  • Mid-day supervised yard time and rest
  • Afternoon enrichment outing or indoor play
  • Potty walk and nighttime winddown
For approved off-leash play, sitters may take pups to dog parks, such as Scioto Audubon Dog Park or Wheeler Memorial Dog Park. Have a dog who likes to join in on errands? Choose a sitter who lives close to dog-friendly locations like BrewDog Franklinton or Seventh Son Brewing in Italian Village.
