“Ashley is a god send and she took care of Bosco just like she’d take care of her own. Bosco had a blast there with her puppers so much so that he refused to get into the car to head home. He was super comfortable and happy at Ashley’s and given a chance he’d be happy to stay there forever. We’re so glad to have found someone like Ashley who takes such good care of the puppies that come for a stay and the puppies know they’re safe, cared for and showered with love. Bosco will definitely return again”
“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.”
“Brittany and her family cared for Zoe as if she was their own pup. I was able to enjoy my vacation trip because I knew she was in good, fun, safe, caring hands. They will be my go-to sitters without a doubt. Thank you.”
“Kirsten and Nicolas were great! They sent pics during the whole stay and were very communicative. They also have a fenced in back yard that they let the dogs run around in. They updated us when the pups appetites were low, which I really appreciated. Both of our dogs tend to be anxious without us because they aren’t used to used to being alone, so it was also a big plus that they work from home. In the past we have had to send our pups to kennels because we don’t have friends or family near by who can watch them. They would be locked in a kennel all day and we would literally have to pay extra for belly rubs or time out of the kennel. I usually feel uneasy the whole trip but not this time. I could tell they were well taken care of and treated like one of their own. Thank you so much Kirsten and Nicolas!”
“Archie had an absolute blast staying with John and Shannon. They were great with him and sent tons of pics and videos to update us. Archie got home and slept for hours after all the exercise he got. Definitely will rebook with them.”
“My dog had a fantastic time with Hasber. He sent lots of pictures and updates. He was also very flexible when I asked to extend the stay on short notice. She came home tired, which is not easy for an aussie!”
“Maolin was the best and took such good care of Avery! She sent daily updates of their adventures on walks and to the dog park. With her we knew our pup was safe and happy over a long trip out of town!”
“Rui was fantastic with Snoopy who can be overly joyous and loving. She sent photos of Snoopy and her dog Misty spending time together which were fantastic to receive during our holiday. It was so reassuring to know Snoopy was in good hands and had a playmate while we were out of town.”
“Michelle and her family were absolutely fantastic! They took care of my pup like he was their own. Great communication and tons of pictures. Would recommend them 10/10!”
“Dawn and Spike are wonderful! Dawn's place is super cute and you can tell that she really loves dogs. I'll definitely use her again the next time I'm in Columbus!”
“Rayann was very friendly & warm & easy to communicate with. I’m appreciative of the care she provided for my kitten while my spouse and I traveled abroad for 2 weeks. I would surely recommend her services, and I will surely book her again in the near future.”
“Stacey and her family took great care of our pups. She sent photos and gave regular updates of how they were doing. Both dogs were happy and comfortable in their home.”
“Gary and Heather were amazing with our Corgi, Riley! I could tell by the daily pictures they sent that she was comfortable and loved while in their care. We will definitely book with them again!”
“Hayley is GREAT ?. Constant communications and tons pictures of mommas Miss Molly. No worries! Even included Molly in one of her fur babies Birthday Party! It's like Molly is a part of her family when there. THX HALEY!!!”
“Loni was wonderful! She was quick to respond and immediately eased my worries since it was our first time using the service. She kept us updated throughout the stay and sent pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her home is perfectly set up like a doggie daycare, with plenty of space, toys, and comfortable beds. Her backyard is truly a dog’s heaven, and from the pictures, it was clear Oscar was having the best time and was so happy. We will definitely be using Loni again. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Emily and Nicholas were wonderful with me and my lab mix puppy. They were so friendly and checked with me if they had any doubts about any part of Penny's care or stay. I got multiple pictures per day and the puppy was obviously having a blast. I will definitely be using both Rover and Emily and Nicholas again.”
“Yoniray is so sweet and took great care of our 15 year old girl. Super responsive and sends lots of pictures and updates. I will definitely book with her in the future and refer her services to family and friends.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Plain City
This was our first visit with Ashle and it was wonderful. Our old dog sitter moved away, so we were nervous about finding someone new—but Ashle took such great care of our pup. Her home is warm, welcoming, and she truly treats pets like family. We’re so grateful to have found her and absolutely recommend her!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Plain City is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $61 per night.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Plain City can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Plain City home-away-from-home, 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 Plain City.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Plain City 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 , 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 .
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.
