Kirsten and Nicolas were great! They sent pics during the whole stay and were very communicative. They also have a fenced in back yard that they let the dogs run around in. They updated us when the pups appetites were low, which I really appreciated. Both of our dogs tend to be anxious without us because they aren’t used to used to being alone, so it was also a big plus that they work from home. In the past we have had to send our pups to kennels because we don’t have friends or family near by who can watch them. They would be locked in a kennel all day and we would literally have to pay extra for belly rubs or time out of the kennel. I usually feel uneasy the whole trip but not this time. I could tell they were well taken care of and treated like one of their own. Thank you so much Kirsten and Nicolas!

Jasmine was amazing with my dog Kobe! She kept me up to date sending pics and informing me of his stay which made me felt relieved he was in great care. I totally plan on boarding my pup with her and her family again on future trips!

Best dog boarding available in the Columbus area, no doubt about it. Karl takes care of your dogs needs with high attention to detail. He also sends daily updates which is very nice. You can tell he maintains a great relationship with the dogs he watches, my dog is always so tail-happy to visit! Recommended to the paw-most degree!

Mary was absolutely amazing with Layla! She communicated consistently and thoughtfully, sending pictures at least twice a day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Layla usually goes on a bit of a hunger strike when I leave, but she was so comfortable with Mary that she ate every single meal. That alone says everything! Layla looked genuinely happy in every photo and was clearly very well cared for. Mary also shared how much she loved spending time with Layla, and it truly sounds like they both had a great time together. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be using Mary’s services again in the future.

Kristine took care of our puppy overnight and was a wonderful host. It was our first time using Rover, and she helped us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. We had an opportunity to have a virtual meet/greet which helped answer many of our questions. During the stay she kept us updated with pictures and provided assurance on how well things were going. 100% recommend. Thank you!

I could not have asked for a better dog sitting experience. I have an older dog and I was very selective about who I left him with on my first vacation away from him. Ellen sent me regular updates and pictures so I could see how he was doing. Her communication was excellent. She accommodated my drop off and pick up times. When she had a request to keep another dog for a couple of days in the middle of my dog’s stay, she contacted me to ask if that would be alright. It seems my dog was very comfortable with her at her place, and I am very grateful for that.

Ashely was phenomenal in all ways. She helped me when I was in a tough spot with a last minute booking over the holiday. She took fantastic care of my very scared Chihuahua and helped her to feel comfortable in a new environment very quickly. She kept me updated on everything cute and important and sent lots of photos. Would absolutely recommend!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 15 years, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I have experience with sweet senior dogs who need a little extra medical care and patience, as well as energetic younger pups who thrive on playtime and activity. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and cuddles throughout the day. I have an older beagle and two laid-back cats, so I understand how important it is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. Your pet will be loved and cared for like one of my own. I will follow any and all directions etc given so your fur baby is the most comfortable

I am so happy I chose Zach to watch my little finfin. He's was very caring, loving, and attentive to my little fin. Zach was very friendly and listened to all my concerns and care instructions. Also, he provided me with continuous updates and pictures of my finfin. He lives in a house with a fenced in back yard, which was a plus. In addition, he has two amazing, loving little dogs that kept my finfin company while I was away! I absolutely recommend Zach to watch your ? dog!

Samantha was very responsive and kept me updated. She has a beautiful home and well-maintained yard. Her two dogs got along well with Freyja during the stay, however there was an incident that resulted in Freyja (my dog) having a bite mark on her stout due to rough play. From my understanding, it was simply an accident but definitely something to consider when having large dogs all together. I will continue to keep using Samantha and very happy with the stay!
