Sydney was a rockstar! She watched our dog in her home on short notice. And our high energy dog was the HIGHEST energy dog once she realized she could be BFFs with Honey. Sydney sent pics and videos throughout. We cannot more highly recommend her!!

We had a great experience with Ellen this past long weekend. She took wonderful care of our goldendoodle and made the whole process easy and stress free. Communication was excellent throughout — we received regular updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She truly went above and beyond for us. Highly recommend!

Mickeala Was so amazing with both my cats. One being a complete curious introverted cat and the other being a clingy curious extrovert. I was worried about them with dogs as they’ve never been exposed but her experience and professionalism got them acclimated so well! She was thorough and sent tons of videos and pictures which clearly showed how comfortable they truly were. They were completely themselves as if they were at home! She was very flexible with our schedule which so happened to be all over the place which required several stay extensions and easily worked with and accommodated us. I will absolutely be using her for all of our pet care needs!

Amber was very enthusiastic and accommodating even before we dropped off our little girl. This was our first experience with Rover and she and her family made it a great one! She showed us around her home, where our pup would be playing outside, and made us feel right at ease! She sent lots of pics and video throughout the weekend so we knew Shasta was having a great time! Would definitely recommend her as a sitter. We’ll use her in the future for sure!!

Hallie was awesome with our dog for a long weekend trip. She has a nice clean home with a fenced in yard. We felt really comfortable the whole time and did not worry about Foss at all. He did great with her pups and it’s obvious she cares so much about our dog’s well-being which is exactly what we want when leaving our dog with someone. She was quick to respond to all of our messages, too.

Nevaeh was great with Kiowa! She kept me updated throughout his stay and sent messages about what he was up to during the day, which I really appreciated. It was nice knowing how he was doing and that he was being well cared for. She made sure he was well fed and spent a lot of time playing with him. When I picked him up he was a happy puppy and seemed really comfortable, which says a lot about the care he got while he was there! I would absolutely trust her with Kiowa again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable to watch their dog. Thanks, Nevaeh!!

Andrew is wonderful! My Bri was so well taken care of, she almost didn't want to go home. Andrew provides a wonderful home and family environment. Clean, dogs play openly and the videos and pictures show them all having fun and even playing with the kids who adore having dogs around. On a personal note, anyone who fosters a blind and deaf dog shows his love fir animals (BTW, the blind dogs played as much as t h e rest of them). This is not a sitter, the dogs feel at home. Thank you so much.

Lisa was absolutely amazing taking care of my 12-week-old puppy while I was away on a work trip. As anyone knows, puppies require a lot of time, attention, and energy—but she handled it all with ease and such a positive attitude. She kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my puppy was in great hands and being very well cared for. I’m so grateful for her attentiveness, reliability, and kindness. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you, Lisa!

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.
