“I'm so glad we found Sally! She took great care of our pit bull Henry. She made accommodations for him, sent us daily updates, sent pictures every day, and even some videos. I could tell Henry was enjoying himself, I was afraid he wouldn't want to come home! She truly cares for him!”
“This was our first time taking a vacation without our two dogs. Everything went better than I could have expected. They took excellent care of them, sent pictures daily and walked them. My guys loved it there! Great fenced in yard and a very nice home. We'll definitely be back. Thank you both very much.”
“Summer was amazing! She was accommodating and understanding when we issues with dropoff and pickup. Lucky had a wonderful time with her and her family. Will definitely have her again as a sitter”
“Mary was an excellent host. Her two dogs Ellie and Fufu were so welcoming and Laika meshed in with ease. Cannot recommend more highly and I looked forward to booking again and again.”
“Joy was absolutely wonderful and even though Rocky had a bit of a tough 1st day she made sure he felt comfortable and adjusted to his new settings after a little while. Joy made sure to give us frequent updates and sent pictures as well. We will definitely use Joy in the future and appreciate her very much.”
“Esther thrived during her stay with Abigail! I was very pleased with her care. Abigail has a wonderful pet-friendly home and yard and she was flexible when I asked for an additional night’s stay. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren was fantastic with my dog, she did what I had recommended when it came to watching my dog and went above and beyond. Sent cute adorable videos and photos of my dog and assured me he would be okay. 10/10 will be going back again soon!”
“Joe has quickly become our go to sitter! Hank was so excited to see him and Duke! As nervous dog parents we feel like we’re actually able to relax when we’re away as we know he’s in very good hands. Thanks again for the great care you provide!”
“Our pups had an amazing time! Alex took great care to love them as if they were her own and gave us plenty of updates. Would definitely recommend”
“Deanna provided such a great experience for my fur baby. She was very attentive to her and made her feel right at home. Deanna kept me informed of her progress and provided me with pictures and videos throughout her stay. Deanna’s dogs are very social and well behaved and welcomed my dog into their little pack. I could tell my Sofee had the time of her life. I would definitely rebook with Deanna.”
“Tamisha was really great at updating me with pictures and on Darla’s status. She even let me know that Darla got a small cut on her head, which is totally expected because Darla bulls her way through things, but comforting to know tamisha was upfront with everything. I really appreciated her looking after Darla and would definitely look to her for help with Darla again in the future.”
“Karl kept us updated and sent pictures daily. He clearly enjoys spending time with dogs. Because of this, we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation. We didn’t have to worry about whether or not our dog was being well cared for. He was flexible with drop off and pick up times.”
“Ellen was fabulous! She kept me updated with photos and messages each day, and I came home to a very happy dog. He sometimes seems a bit stressed out after I’ve been away, but not with Ellen. He was obviously in very good hands with her. I’m grateful for her care and attention. I highly recommend!”
“Maolin was the best and took such good care of Avery! She sent daily updates of their adventures on walks and to the dog park. With her we knew our pup was safe and happy over a long trip out of town!”
“They took great care of my active dog Honey and sent updates and videos while I was away for that extra peace of mind. Thanks Michelle and Justin for the wonderful love and attention you gave Honey while we were away!!!”

Deanna is the absolute best!!! She has been with my baby Cleo since she was a little baby. Deanna is so on top of communication, photo sending, training, feeding my girl amazing food…all the above, Deanna was such a pleasure. I was with Deanna for about 7 months and I have never been more grateful. Thank you for everything, we appreciate you so so much!
We cannot recommend Laken highly enough. Leaving a beloved 13-year-old husky while traveling for our daughter’s wedding was incredibly hard, but within hours we knew we had found someone truly special. Laken treated Tundra like she was part of her own family. Every day we received thoughtful updates filled with photos, funny stories, and little details that showed she was genuinely paying attention—not just watching her, but getting to know her. She learned Tundra’s personality, celebrated her quirky “woo-woos,” laughed about her following the other dogs everywhere, and even affectionately called her “Old Lady Green Beans.” What impressed us most was how naturally Tundra settled in. She became friends with Laken’s dogs, found her favorite sleeping spots, played with toys, explored the yard, cuddled, and clearly felt safe and loved. As pet parents, there is no greater gift than seeing your dog so comfortable while you’re away. Laken’s communication was exceptional from beginning to end. We never had to wonder how Tundra was doing because she always kept us informed with warmth, honesty, and genuine excitement. It never felt like a business transaction—it felt like leaving Tundra with someone who truly cared about her. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, and we came home knowing we had found our forever Rover sitter. If you’re considering booking with Laken, do it. Your pet will be loved as if they were her own.
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
Jason was awesome. He kept me updated and sent pics everyday, and it looked like Bender was having a great time! Jason was so accommodating with Bender’s hip and back issues; he put runners out over the hardwood and was careful to make sure Bender didn’t overdo it and had help getting around. He’s probably been the best sitter we’ve had on here.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Gahanna
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Gahanna on Rover is $34.24 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 950 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Gahanna sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Gahanna landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Gahanna home-away-from-home, we recommend 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.
Tip: 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
