“We left our senior doggie with Kris for the first time and she did an AMAZING job. We honestly couldn’t have found a better person to care for him while we were away. She sent me sweet updates and pictures which helped me feel confident that he was in good hand so that we could enjoy our vacation. We are just beyond grateful to have found this service and Kris. We highly recommend her!!!!”
“Kristi has been incredible! This is my second time using her to watch my dog. She sends updates and pictures and keeps you involved while away. She's been extremely flexible and easy to work with. My plans changed and needed her to watch my dog extra, she did it without hesitation. What a blessing! I'm not in columbus often, but when I need a sitter, she is my top choice. Book with her and you will not be disappointed!”

“Fantastic first experience. Kristine is an excellent sitter. We had a last minute meeting out of town and she very graciously agreed to take my 2 Goldendoodle girls for a few days. She sent me pupdates and photos to ease my mind Her home was spotless, yet she allowed our dogs to get comfy on her couch. I can’t thank her enough for taking great care of my fur babies.”

“Tami is an absolute blessing to our family! She took such great care of Curly I think he was a little sad when it was time to come back home! Ha! Curly enjoyed his time with her so much we hope she’s available next time we need to be away from home!”

“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.”

About: I have a degree in veterinary technology and used to work in clinics and veterinary ER. I personally have three dogs, three guinea pigs a bearded dragon and am fostering a kitten. I take the care of animals to heart and cater my approach to each of their personalities. I can perform CPR if needed and am able to administer medications and help with any specialized needs. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all ages and can meet their needs. I also can manage exotic animals. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask! I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I keep my dogs on somewhat of a routine as I have semi high energy breeds. Though we do lounge around at home when they’re feeling lazy. I treat all animals with the highest level of care whether it is my own pet or someone else’s. I have my eyes on the pets at all times both inside and outside of the home. I worked in the veterinary field through college and retired in 2024. All that knowledge stays with me and I continue to stay up to date on animal care. You will get regular photo updates of your babies during my drop in’s and/or boarding.

“Angel was amazing! She is not only an exceptional caretaker but knowledgeable, reliable, efficient & devoted. She is professional yet friendly & stayed in contact with us - communication was open not forced. She was available to work around my schedule on very short notice. Demonstrated enormous love & compassion for animals. Her rates are very reasonable for the services she provides. I had a true feeling of trust & peace of mind when leaving my Bubba. You will be dog-gone happy choosing Angel for your caretaking needs 🐾🐶”

“Amber was really great with our dog Emmy! We hadn't used a pet sitter in awhile and were nervous to try someone new, but Amber answered all of my questions right away, took the time to do a meet and greet first, and provided excellent communication throughout the stay. I felt very reassured that my dog was getting lots of attention and care, and we greatly appreciated all the updates and pictures. I would not hesitate to recommend her or use her again in the future. Thank you!”


“Emily was nothing short of phenomenal. I was in a tough spot when my Australian Shepherd named Wendle came down with a cough that needed treated with antibiotics and steroids 2 days before I was scheduled to leave the country on vacation for 10 days. With the alternative being to leave him in isolation at boarding for the entire time or canceling the trip, I was scrambling to find a sitter last minute and we really lucked out connecting with Emily here. She was amazing with Wendle, treating him as her own and I know he loved every minute of his own vacation with her. Emily kept me updated with detailed messages and pictures of Wendle during my trip and had no issues with giving him his medication and taking him on walks and giving him all the attention he needed. I can’t thank her enough for taking in Wendle at the last minute and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter in the future.”

“As always, Kathy is so very diligent with updates and communication. These days, our Ella can get very down when we’re away from her - not finishing her food, using the bathroom etc. Ella is forever comfortable with Kathy and is always tuckered for the days following a stay with her. Her yard is absolutely perfect, her home is very clean and she always welcomes with open arms!”

“We had a great experience booking with Michelle & Nicholas! We did a meet and greet to see how our dog Flynn and their dog Waffles would get along, and they became good buddies! Michelle & Nicholas sent daily updates with lots of photos. They have a fenced in backyard that our Flynny loved exploring. We would highly recommend & plan to book again!”

“Haley was awesome! Everything listed on her profile is accurate. Our Bailey had a great stay with Haley and her pups. Bailey was there less than 24 hours, but Haley sent us several pictures of her and provided an update of how the stay was going. I would absolutely recommend her and look forward to booking with her again!!”

“Jasmine did a great job with my pup. He had so much fun with her and her family! She was very communicative and was flexible as we were edtablishing drop-off & pick-up times.”

“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.”

About: I've been caring for and loving dogs for over 30 years, including dogs of all sizes and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I understand that every pup has unique needs and deserves to feel safe, loved, and at home. I'm comfortable caring for puppies and senior dogs, following special diets and routines, and administering medication. My experience includes caring for my previous dog, Tucker who was diagnosed with thyroid carcinoma. I supported him through a two-year cancer battle, administering his prescribed chemotherapy medication regimen daily. I also had a senior dog, Maggie Moo that I cared for through incontinence and end-of-life care, learning firsthand the importance of patience, compassion, and helping pets maintain their comfort and dignity through every stage of life. I enjoy everything from walks and outdoor play to quiet companionship and couch cuddles. I treat every dog like family and prioritize their safety, happiness, and comfort. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while your best friend is in my care! I work from home some days and in the office (15 min away) on others, so my availability varies but is flexible throughout the week. I'm available for pet care during evenings and weekends, and I can accommodate daytime care depending on my work schedule. I make it a priority to provide plenty of attention, exercise, outdoor time, and affection while keeping each dog's routine as consistent as possible. I plan bookings around my schedule to ensure every pup receives safe, attentive, and loving care. My home features a large, fenced backyard with plenty of room to explore, and my own dog loves to play with other dogs. I have multiple dog beds throughout the house and dogs are welcome on the furniture. I believe in making every pet feel comfortable and at home while prioritizing their safety and well-being. I follow each pet's routine, provide plenty of attention and affection, and make sure introductions are handled carefully. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their space and follow the owner's instructions to keep their pet's routine consistent and stress-free. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family member is in loving, dependable hands. I have two kids under 8 years old who love dogs. I have my kids part-time so I may also be able to accommodate dogs who are not tolerant of kids. I have raised food and water dishes to accommodate larger dogs. I also live within walking distance, approximately a half mile from a dog park if your pup likes to social scene.
About: I provide dependable, attentive, and structured care for dogs in a clean, safe, and calm home environment. I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of dogs with different temperaments, energy levels, and needs—from high-energy breeds to more relaxed companions. I previously helped manage a "Star-Sitter boarding setup on another account, where I was directly involved in daily care, feeding routines, exercise, and maintaining a stress-free environment for every dog. Now that I’m continuing on my own, I’m committed to delivering that same level of quality care and consistency. What sets me apart is attention to detail and reliability. I understand how important routine, supervision, and communication are when it comes to your pet. I specialize in elderly pets and puppies as there have been many neighbors that need medication on a regular basis. I will certainly provide your family member with the proper schedule for their needs. Dogs in my care receive: Consistent feeding and exercise schedules Clean, well-maintained spaces with private areas if requested Close supervision and safe handling Photo updates so you know your dog is doing well I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, structure, and respect for their individual needs. If you’re looking for someone responsible, experienced, and straightforward who will take care of your dog the right way, I’d be a great fit. Conveniently located off E. National Rd. (Highway 40) Dogs in my care follow a structured but relaxed routine that keeps them comfortable, active, and stress-free. Mornings start with potty breaks, fresh water, and feeding based on your dog’s normal schedule. After that, I provide light exercise or playtime depending on their energy level—whether that’s a walk, supervised yard time, or indoor engagement. Throughout the day, I’m home and available, so your dog isn’t left alone for long periods. I keep a close eye on behavior, comfort, and safety while giving them attention, interaction, and rest as needed. I adjust the pace of the day to fit each dog—some need more activity, others prefer a calm environment. Midday includes additional potty breaks, playtime, or relaxation depending on the dog’s routine. I maintain consistency with feeding schedules, water, and any special instructions you provide. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and those that require medication, and I’m comfortable following specific care routines to make sure they stay healthy and comfortable. Evenings include another round of activity or relaxation, feeding if needed, and a calm wind-down before bedtime. Overall, my goal is to provide a safe, structured, and attentive environment where your dog feels comfortable and well cared for—just like they would at home. I’m home throughout the day, so dogs are rarely left alone and always supervised. I follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special instructions. Whether your dog is high-energy or more laid back, I adjust the environment to fit their needs. I also have a well-behaved mini Australian Shepherd who acts as a friendly companion for social dogs. He’s great at reading other dogs and helps create a balanced, comfortable environment—but I always introduce dogs properly and keep safety as the top priority; we will introduce them during the meet & great prior to the stay. For dogs that need extra care, I have experience with senior pets and administering medication, and I’m comfortable following detailed care plans to make sure they stay healthy and comfortable.
“Susanne and her family were amazing while watching our two dogs over a last-second weekend trip! Susanne was super communicative, send us updates and pictures, and I can tell the dogs had a great time while there. I would highly recommend Susanne for any dog watching needs!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 778 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across South Vienna. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
94% of sitters in South Vienna 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 South Vienna 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 South Vienna.
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 South Vienna 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.
