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!

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.

Alex was the first host I used on Rover. I was a bit worried about using this app, but Alex made my first experience amazing! She is so friendly and truly has a heart for animals. I have already booked with her a few times since and my doggo loves to stay with her. She is very flexible and has even dropped my dog back off to me. I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you Alex for taking such good care of Amani!

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!

I had the best experience, leaving my dog with Cindy. She was amazing at caring for him and sending me photos and videos along the way. She was also super understanding when I shared that my flight has been canceled and that I needed to book an extra day. She continue to care for my dog, an updated me more along the way as well. Super appreciative of her and can’t wait till the next booking.

Megan and Jay are amazing! They’re so thoughtful, warmhearted, and truly wonderful people. They took such great care of Malie, and she felt right at home with them. Their boys were fantastic with her—playing and keeping her entertained. I loved receiving daily photo updates from Megan, and it was clear how happy Malie was during her stay. She came home happy, loved, and well cared for. 😊 I’m already looking forward to her next stay with them! Thank you Megan, Jay and the boys!

Shanelle takes the best care of Luna when she stays overnight! She effortlessly fits Luna, and all of Luna’s quirks, into her routine and is so gracious and loving. I absolutely do not worry about Luna at all when she stays at Shanelle’s house, and that is saying something! I know Luna is happy, enriched, and loved. I couldn’t ask for anything more!

Rachel did a great job taking caring of my 85 lb doodle! He even was having some GI issues before I left him and she was able to take care of him and get him back to normal before I returned. He got along well with her dogs. So far, he’s stayed with her twice and seemed to love both stays and came back tired, which is always a good sign! She kept me updated throughout the stay and responded quickly to all messages. I would definitely recommend Rachel!

For the first time ever, I had to leave my dog son for more than a day and I was definitely very uncertain on this whole you know . I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch over my best friend and care for him like they did. Had me at ease while I was gone the whole time if you’re looking for the same reassurance, I was looking no further!

Angie was wonderful with our one year old mini bernedoodle Reggie. This was only the second time he stayed in someone’s house and the first time with Angie ! She’s a happy, very positive person and gave Reggie lots of TLC while we were away. She also had to administer pills to him and she wasn’t bothered by that at all. We plan to use her services again in January 2026.

Amy is so accommodating! We had last minute changes to our plans and she worked things out so Presley could extend her stay. We were so glad because last minute changes stress me out. She’s awesome. We know Presley is well cared for at Amy’s house.

I had a great experience with this dog sitter. Communication was always on point, and I truly felt I could trust them while I was away for a week. They were very loving with Mookie, patient, and flexible with timing. You can tell they genuinely care about dogs. Mookie enjoyed his stay, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.

We were super nervous about leaving our dog with a stranger, but Alexandria immediately put us at ease with her amazing reviews and thoughtful profile. From the very beginning, we felt confident our dog was in great hands. She sent multiple updates and pictures every day, which truly meant the world to us. Honestly, after a few days, I was worried our dog wouldn’t even want to come back home! 😄 We would absolutely trust Alexandria again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care.

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.
Need more routine stability? We recommend house sitting as a service for dogs who are sensitive to change. House sitting in Columbus, OH averages $45 per night.
