She took great care of our girl Sadie, she was great at sending updates and pictures, made our trip worry free. Sadie had a great time with Lauren and her dog Nala! Will definitely use Lauren again!

Stacey and her family’s home was a perfect stay for Moki Marie. She took walks and had lots of play time with the kids and snuggle time with the whole family. Plus, my feeding directions were followed which is important for Moki’s tummy. If you want your dog loved and cared for with extra attention, I highly recommend Stacey and Bruce and their family!!!! 🥰

Elizabeth and her family were wonderful. She kept us updated on our Fur baby which was very helpful. It was our first time being away from home, so we were a little anxious about the process. She made it very easy for us and we will definitely use her services again! In fact I'm pretty sure that Fur baby wants a playdate!

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!

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.

Bueller had a wonderful time with Karen and her family! She was extremely welcoming and made us all feel right at home. She was patient with Bueller adapting to her house and gave him lots of love. She also did a great job of providing photo updates while we were away overnight. Thanks so very much!

Mary was amazing. My dog Thyon is a sweet but skittish boy. Since making a big move from the country to the city, he has suffered from anxiety which he needed to be medicated for. I tried traditional boarding facilities however they were not a good fit. There were too many loud noises and he always came home stressed and nervous. Mary provided a wonderful environment. Not only was he able to quickly adapt and feel comfortable, but he seemed to thrived there. He was running in the yard with her dog Elle. Which he has not done since we moved months ago. I have finally found a place where I am comfortable to leave my boy and know he’s being well cared for. Thanks Mary!

Emily was great with Ivy! She sent me regular updates of a very happy pupper. Ivy came home happy and tired which means she spent her time romping with Emily's pack. I couldn't recommend Emily enough!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Lockbourne

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lockbourne on Rover is $30.53 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 928 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lockbourne. 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.

95% of Lockbourne 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 Lockbourne 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 Lockbourne 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 Lockbourne.

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 Lockbourne 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.
