5 stars! You can tell Sally is very attentive and loving to the dogs she welcomes into her home. She gave our energetic 1 year old lab puppy a great couple of days :)

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.

Laura is a fantastic dog sitter. She communicated with me the whole time we were gone and made sure I knew how the dogs were doing. They looked so comfy there it was like they were at home. Laura was awesome at handling their meds and special foods. The dogs will be staying with Laura again for sure!

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!

Victoria did a great job dog sitting my fur baby Heaven for 6 days while me and my family went on vacation for spring break (: she sent me texts, pictures & gave me reassurance that Heaven was in good hands . I highly recommend her! I’m very overprotective of my fur baby lol but it felt nice knowing she was well taken care of while I was away. Thanks again for everything!

Everything was seamless, from meet and greet to pickup and drop off, Bianca made me feel secure with leaving my dog in her care. Constant communication with texts and pictures was just what I needed to reassure myself he was in great hands. As someone who normally takes their dog everywhere or has family watching him, I was totally confident I made the right choice with Bianca. I would definitely recommend and rebook with her any time.

I was so impressed by Marylin’s professionalism as well as her knowledge of dogs and their behavior. From the beginning meeting to a trial over night our dog was treated and cared for like he was her own. She was prompt , polite and so easy to work with. She sent us pictures and videos . Her policies were clear as well as all communication. Our dog has a new friend and we have found a safe, fun, caring place for him to stay when we need a place for him. He enjoyed it so much we will set play times for him!

I had such a wonderful experience boarding my puppy, Bane! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt confident that he was in great hands. Lindsay and her husband were incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly passionate about the animals in their care. Bane can be a little shy at first, but they made him feel right at home. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which really helped ease my mind while I was away. It was so comforting to see him happy, relaxed, and even making some new furry friends! When I picked him up, he was in great spirits and clearly well cared for. It's such a relief to know there's a place I can trust to take care of him like family. I will definitely be bringing Bane back for future stays—thank you for treating my boy so well! 🐾

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.

Abby and Steve are the absolute BEST!!! Our yellow lab, Ali Marie, just spent 5 days with them and their dog, Winnie! At the meet and greet, they wanted to know all about Ali; her routine, schedule, likes and dislikes and anything that would help them to know Ali and provide the very best experience! Abby does just what she says she will do. Under her care, Ali was walked daily, fed at her usual times, including snacks and treats. We received daily pictures, and a brief review of the days activities. The bonus for Ali was that they have a beautiful playful dog. Ali loved the interaction with Winnie and the company each day. We look forward to more opportunities to have Ali spend time with Abby, Steve and Winnie! Gary and Audrey

This was my first time using Rover and my first time leaving Jessie with someone we didn’t know and so I was definitely a bit nervous. But Caitlin was phenomenal and just speaking with her helped ease my anxiety. She was friendly, responsive and provided me with updates that made me feel much better during Jessie’s stay. I highly recommend Caitlin to my fellow pet parents looking for a professional and caring sitter!

I was very nervous to leave my dog because this is the first time he has ever been left with anyone or away from us. I seek out on Rover and started to read a bunch of different reviews and Lacie stood out to me. I reached out to her and she asked all of the right questions that started to ease my mind. After meeting her, I knew she was the one that I could trust with my dog. I received daily updates and pictures which helped tremendously to make me feel more comfortable of where he was. If you’re ever on the fence of wanting to leave your dog with someone I 100% recommend Lacie!! She is just the sweetest and will treat your fur baby like her own.

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.
