Sally was an amazing and very knowledgeable sitter for blue! Even after I had some horrendous travel delays she was super understanding and helpful. Blue truly couldn’t have been in a better home while I was away, I do not have enough good things to say, we will be back!

Lauren and her family took Doug in as if he was their own. I recieved updates and plenty of pictures of Doug playing with their puppy Cinder, who is an absolute sweetheart. There is absolutely no doubt that I will be booking with Lauren and her family again.

Katie is an amazing sitter! She REALLY loves the dogs, sends a lot of pictures, and my dogs are always happily exhausted when they come home from spending time with Katie. Her two pups are the sweetest, even my stereotypical chihuahua gets along with Ruth and Stevie.

With being new to the area and not having much friends and family around here, it is such a blessing to find someone you trust to watch your pup! Katie did a wonderful job sending me pics/updates all throughout Birdie’s stay. And I love that she has friends to play with! I already rebooked for another week. Could not recommend more :)

Ellen was incredible! She took our booking on short notice which we were super grateful for! Emilio, our 7 month foster had the best time, I don’t think he even missed us. Ellen has the perfect house, with a fenced in front and backyard so we felt confident our little guy was secure and couldn’t make a run for it. She shared updates and photos/videos throughout his stay which gave us reassurance he was in good hands and we were able to enjoy our time away! We would highly recommend Ellen, we’re so happy we found her!

Deanna is amazing! We are from out of state and we were looking for someone to watch our dog while we were at a wedding. Deanna took the best care of Timber and made her so comfortable! She had space to play, toys to play with, and took lots of notes for being able to take care of Timber to the best of her ability. She also sent us lots of photos and videos which I loved! Will 100% choose Deanna again if we are back in the area!

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.
