Cindy was great with my pup Sage! She consistently sent me updates to let me know how Sage was doing, as well as lots of pics. I felt at ease while away knowing that Sage was in good hands. I will definitely use Cindy in the future and highly recommend her for boarding services!

Lauren is absolutely wonderful! Her kind and caring nature shows through in the way she cares for our pups. Lauren is very detailed oriented, giving a report on how our pups got along with her dog and each other, what they ate, if they rested. We feel very blessed to have Lauren to help us care for our fur family.

My dog Bella has been cared for by Andrew twice now, and both times she’s been absolutely happy and well taken care of. The second time we went my dog got excited as we pulled up to the house, remembering what a good time she had during her last visit. Highly recommended!

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!

I booked Lauren for the second time, and once again she was amazing! She takes such great care of my Xena and really caters to her needs, especially when it comes to food and routines. I love that she sends plenty of updates throughout the visit, it gives me so much peace of mind. She’s professional, attentive, and genuinely cares. I absolutely love her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!

Karl was great. Just in Ohio for the summer and had to find someone for Sampson for a couple different trips. Was a little anxious to leave Sampson but I knew from the initial meeting, that we picked a great person in Karl. I received pictures or a video each day and Sampson had a great time playing with all the other friends he made. I got a happy, tired dog back! Looking forward to Karl taking care of Sampson later this summer.

Liz watched my pup Kiwi for 10 days at her home while I was on a trip. This was the longest trip I’ve taken without Kiwi, and she can have a bit of separation anxiety. I also had to switch her to another diet due to food allergies l the day before I left. However, Liz had no problems managing these issues and accommodating Kiwi’s needs. Her dog, Lola, was also friendly and social, so there were no issues there. Liz updated me and sent photos daily, which was very comforting, I would definitely use her as a sitter again, and would recommend her to others as well. 😊

We were in town for a wedding. Knowing Lucy was being so well cared for allowed my husband and I to enjoy our family and the festivities. Thanks Jessica!

Erika took care of my two babies while I was traveling. Unfortunately, my previous dog sitter is no longer in the area, so I had to find a new sitter. Both my dogs are rescue dogs, so I always worry when they go to a new place. I had no need to worry. When we did our meet and greet, they did well. During the time they stayed with Erika she sent me pictures and updates regularly. There was a small issue with one who has a sensitive stomach and she immediately reached out to me to confirm how to handle. She was willing to give a probiotic every day, to keep my boy on his schedule. I appreciate all those details very much. It is such a relief to find a good honest person to take care of my pups when I need to be away. I will definitely use Erika again.

Michelle and Nick are amazing! We went on a longer trip and were super nervous about leaving Lily behind, but they made the whole experience so easy. They sent us detailed daily updates along with photos from their day, which really put our minds at ease. They also welcomed us for a meet and greet at their home before booking so we could get to know them and have Lily meet them ahead of time. That extra step made a huge difference in how comfortable we felt. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitters!

Houix If this rover is amazing, I mean from the start to the fitness very communicative and also she even has the option to even pick your dog up if you’re not able to have transportation. She loves dogs and she was sending you videos and pictures throughout the day, of her interacting and playing with your dog. Along with her other dog she has herself. my flight even got delayed, so I had to extend my reservation one more day, and she had no problem with allowing lyrics to stay an extra day. I highly recommend having her watch or board your dog whenever you need somebody to help with watching your dog.

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.
