Megan and family were incredible with my dog Indy! I felt so relieved that she could stay with such an awesome family and be taken care of while we were away. Indy is a senior dog so certainly more needy across the board but she was in great hands. Would rebook with them in a heartbeat!

Jessica was amazing with my dog, Dude! This was my first time ever using Rover so I was obviously a little anxious about leaving him with someone I didn't know but she made me feel very comfortable with everything and sent me lots of pictures and updates the entire week I was away to make me feel at ease! Dude seemed to be very comfortable at her place and loved that she took him on many walks! I would love to use Jessica's services again in the future. Thank you so much!

Lauren and her family were truly exceptional caretakers for our new puppy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From day one, she was incredibly accommodating to the constant attention, patience, and consistency that puppy training requires, going above and beyond in every way to make sure our pup was happy, safe, and learning good habits. Lauren kept us at ease with thoughtful, detailed updates at least once a day (often more) complete with adorable photos that showed just how much love and care our puppy was receiving. It was clear our pup felt comfortable and cherished in her home, and we were able to relax knowing she was in such capable, caring hands. We would wholeheartedly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for someone who treats your pet like part of the family.

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.
