“Tharatip & Daniel did a fantastic job sitting for Chewie! They sent several pics and videos over the weekend while they watched her. They were treating her like part of their family which is what we were looking for. Thanks again!”
“Deanna was excellent with Kobe. Kobe had been diagnosed with IVDD a day before he was scheduled to stay with Deanna. Deanna helped him in every way possible and then some, administered his meds and kept me up to date with everything. Highly recommended!”
“My doggie really enjoyed his stay. Felt like home with the addition of 2 doggie playmates and a sweet little girl to love on. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“I love her, Hayley loves her. She would send me pictures and videos to update me on my fur baby. I was so worried about leaving her alone with someone new and the updates really helped. I will be booking Ms. Tamisha again.”
“Stockton had such a great time with Maolin, and he has major separation issues. She made him feel comfortable instantly and took him on a lot of awesome adventures! Would definitely book again!”
“Joy deserves recognition. She did a superior job and she cared. These days that becomes a gem in a world of self entitled fools...she deserves credit. I will return with my lovable dog many times...Ty Joy!”
“We felt very comfortable our pup was getting the best care while staying with Ellen. She had great communication throughout the process and we so appreciated the pic/video updates she shared with us!”
“Our Dog had a great time at Rayann’s. He clearly had gotten to play and be outside a lot and was not left unattended for too long. Rayann was also flexible on drop off and pick up as changes in our plans came along”
“Such a fantastic experience! She is a super accommodating with a last minute schedule change due to a flight cancellation. ann took wonderful care of our dog and kept us updated. We couldn't have asked for a better boarder!”
“John and Shannon were absolutely wonderful with our pup, Leo! From the moment we dropped him off, they kept us updated with sweet pictures, thoughtful messages, and stories from his walks. It was so clear he was happy, loved, and well cared for, we couldn’t have asked for kinder, more attentive sitters. Highly recommend! Leo can’t wait to come back!”
“I cannot express how amazing Emily and her family have been. I’ve had her watch my pup multiple times and each time he comes back happy and tired from all of the running and playing!”
“As a general consumer, I like to read reviews before I purchase a product or a service. After reading all the great reviews for Emily’s service, we decided to place our dog with her for 13 days and let me tell you, we were completely satisfied with the whole experience. Emily was quick to respond when booking and was flexible with pick-up and drop off times. She sent lots of playful pictures and provided feedback throughout the 2 weeks that we were gone to include whether or not she was eating, letting us know that she was adjusting, and letting us know that she was doing well. These updates helped have ease of mind on vacation knowing that she was being well taken care of. Emily is friendly and tentative and I would 100% recommend you use her services for short and long term boarding !”
“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.”
“Tiffany took excellent care of my Frenchie, Walter 💕 I did not have to worry at all and she gave great updates! I would absolutely use her again and recommend her help!”
About: I grew up on a farm and I've trained/cared for many different kinds of animals for over 20 years. I love animals and am excited to meet your fur baby! I own and operate my own business out of my house. My boss is me and I set my own schedule! So last minute changes are a-okay! I'm happy to exercise and feed and care for your sweet fur babies! I've cared for lots of different dogs and cats and am confident I can take care of yours!
“Paige was incredible! She was so responsive sent several pictures of Bailey while we were gone and when we went to pick her up she had all of her stuff packed up and ready to go - she had even broken down her crate so we could just put it in the car. It seemed like Bailey had a great time playing with Paige’s other dogs and they definitely got lots of love and attention! Would definitely leave Bailey with Paige and her wife in the future!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Victoria and the care she provided for my dog, Louise. Louise stayed with her for 9 days, and it’s clear she had an absolute blast the entire time. Normally, Louise is full of non-stop energy, but when she got home, she was completely tuckered out—in the best way possible! That alone told me she had a fun, active, and fulfilling stay. Victoria went above and beyond to make sure Louise felt at home. She provided updates throughout the stay, was super communicative, and treated Louise like one of her own. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such capable and caring hands. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves dogs and gives them the time, attention, and love they deserve, Victoria is the one. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with her again. Thank you, Victoria, for taking such amazing care of Louise!”
“Sean took excellent care of my 10 month old lab for 9 days. I enjoyed the daily photos or video and his comments of how he was doing. Sean was always available for any questions or concerns I had doing his stay. I also appreciated Sean’s insight on raising a puppy which was most helpful. My pup had a wonderful time and can’t wait to go back.”
“Justen was very accommodating and flexible with drop off and pickup. He sent pictures and made me feel secure that my pup was safe and being cared for as if she were his own!”
“Coco had a great time!! Allison is great at sending updates (pictures and videos) enjoying her time, which made it easier for us to be away from Coco for so many days. Thank you Allison!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gahanna
Ellen and her family were amazing. They showered our dog with love, attention, care, and provided us with frequent picture updates. They made us feel at ease as we knew that Archie was going to be feeling right at home for the duration of his stay. She is the best and I would recommend her to anyone. We will boarding Archie there again!!!!!
My husband and I left our 2 year old lab with Brian for a week while we went on vacation. During that time we received daily updates with photos. Our dog enjoyed walks, playing with his own dog, and cuddle time. It was a relief to know our dog was having a vacation of his own.
Zachary was absolutely amazing with Coco! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease. He provided consistent updates, photos, and made sure we knew Coco was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches, and Coco came back happy and relaxed. Communication was great, and everything was handled professionally. Highly recommend Zachary to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitteR

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Gahanna is $34 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 936 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gahanna. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Gahanna can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Gahanna home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Gahanna.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Gahanna sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
