Sally is nothing short of amazing. She has taken care of our two pit rescues over the holidays and each time she has done such a wonderful job. Our girls are polar opposite in the exercise department and she was able to tailor walks to both of them. She kept us informed on a regular basis and sent lots of picture updates. It is clear she is very experienced and truly passionate about animals. I would 1000% recommend Sally and feel lucky to have found her. Thank you!

Pam and her husband are the absolute best! We set up a meet and greet before our trip, and my dog instantly loved them both from the start. Pam asked great questions and took detailed notes about Jaxx’s care, so I knew he would be in great hands. And they sent wonderful pictures, videos, and updates throughout our entire trip. Jaxx had a great time and I didn’t have to worry at all while I was away. Thank you!!!

Thank you Hillary for taking such exceptional care of Teddy on his first night away from us! Huge thanks for being there for us on shuch short notice and for ease of extending our pup's stay! To other prospective clients, we met Hillary at the Seal Point Dog Park (small dog section) when socializing our puppy. She is great! She's at that park every day around noon. If you are thinking about having a dog sitter, definately go and meet her.

About: Hi there! I’m Amy, a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to Riley, a sweet and sensitive 3 year old Mini Australian Shepherd. Growing up with two family dogs, I’ve always felt most at home with a furry friend by my side - and I’d love to help care for yours too. I’m from the DC area, lived in NYC and Philly after college, and moved to Columbus in fall of 2024 with my partner Jake. We live in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath home on the border of Victorian Village and Harrison West. We both work from home and have a fenced backyard, so your dog will have plenty of space to explore and lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your pup is playful or prefers alone time, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, respected and loved. Riley is an anxious guy himself, so I have a soft spot (and lots of experience!) for dogs who are nervous and/or reactive. I believe in patient, positive reinforcement and always move at your dog’s pace - whether that’s slow introductions, extra snuggles, or just giving them space to settle in. If you’d like, we can set up a meet-and-greet so I can learn all about your dog’s unique personality and needs! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m home the majority of the day, so I’m able to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime and companionship. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. I’m mindful of each dog’s personality and I follow their usual routines as closely as possible to help them feel at ease. If your pup prefers alone time, I make sure they have a quiet space to relax without pressure. I also use positive reinforcement to build trust, especially for anxious or reactive dogs.

How Rover works

  1. 1. Search

    Read verified reviews by dog parents like you and choose a boarder who’s a great match for you and your dogs
  2. 2. Meet & Greet

    Meet either virtually or in-person with a boarder to discuss the level of care needed for your dogs while you’re away
  3. 3. Book & Pay

    All payments are processed through Rover’s secured platform and your booking is backed by 24/7 support. It’s that easy!

The median cost per night for dog boarding in Olentangy River Road is $36

Why Choose Rover?

  • Cashless payments

What Is Columbus Dog Boarding Like On Rover?

Columbus, OH is home to 700+ sitters offering personalized dog boarding. Find trusted care in Columbus neighborhoods like Clintonville, Northland, Far North, Northwest, Greater Hilltop and Upper Arlington, and turn your dog’s stay into a canine vacation. Unlike traditional kennels, which can disrupt a dog’s mood and routine, sitters on Rover offer relaxing environments for dogs to stick to familiar rhythms. Home environments create less stress for dogs in unfamiliar surroundings. The cost of dog boarding in Columbus, OH ranges from $42 to $55 per night.

Convenience to CMH

  • Boarding + daycare: 515 sitters have daycare for playful pups
  • Grooming & bathing: 174 sitters provide basic grooming for long stays

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.
