“Dawn and Robert were recommended to us by a friend and we are so happy they did. Our pup had a great time and was well-loved while we were out of town. We got regular updates and pictures and videos. They have a very nice yard for our dog to get exercise and play. I won’t hesitate to reach out for our next dog-sitting!”
“Tamisha took great care of our two dogs while we were out of town. She provided lots of updates and pictures and gave us total peace of mind when it came to our dogs well being. She has such a warm personality and my normally timid dogs felt immediately at home and comfortable with her! So grateful for her and will definitely be taking our dogs back to her in the future!”
“Megan and Jay took wonderful care of Loki! He clearly had a great time with plenty of walks and lots of backyard play. They kept me updated with great communication and photos, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend them and will definitely book with them again. Thank you!”
“Marena was a fantastic sitter for my dog Max! She gave me frequent updates and had no issues with the provided instructions for his care. Marena took such great care of Max, I don’t think he wanted to leave when we picked him up :) I will definitely have her watch Max again in the future.”
“Beth is great with Ireland while I’m at work! She is easy to get ahold of and sends pictures and video updates of my boy Ireland. I know when I drop him off that he is happy and in great hands.”
“Mary was wonderful! She sent at least one update a day, usually more, and my high energy doodle had such a great time with her and her husband and their own dogs. He got lots and lots of exercise with regular walks and zoomies in their giant backyard. We’d love to use Mary again!”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Hasber take care of my dog, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very first day, he kept me informed about her schedule, sharing daily updates that provided me with peace of mind. I loved receiving the pictures he sent, it was clear that my dog was having a wonderful time with her smiling photos! Hasber showed a genuine love and care for my pet, going above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable and happy. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my Queenie !! --- Feel free to adjust any part to better fit your experience!”
“Sally was an amazing and very knowledgeable sitter for blue! Even after I had some horrendous travel delays she was super understanding and helpful. Blue truly couldn’t have been in a better home while I was away, I do not have enough good things to say, we will be back!”
“Lauren and family are so great to my beloved Rocco. I was able to be away and did not worry about his care. I knew he was in good hands which was such a peace of mind! I will be rebooking and encourage anyone who wants to be away from their pet with no worries to do so as well!”
“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!”

“You all did an impeccable job with our 2 girls. I have always hated having to board them when we go on vacation, but not anymore. My girls loved you all and they were wonderful when they came home. It was obvious that they were well loved while we were gone. We are going away on a long weekend in October and you can bet that you will be our 1st call. Jennifer Hatem Mom to Nola & Zoey”
“Dianne was very responsive and thoughtful! She also sent me plenty of updates while my dog’s stay. Definitely a great sitter and I will repeat again. Highly recommend.”
“My dogs Tommy and Sandy had an excellent stay! They played and ran in Ashley's big fenced in back yard, and got on well with her pets. They were so excited when we got there, they barely gave me a second look as I walked out the door. I will definitely use Ashley again. Even though I love my vet and the kennel I've used in the past, I like the thought of them "at home" in a comfortable setting, knowing they are being well taken care of,”
“Ellen and her family were amazing. They showered our dog with love, attention, care, and provided us with frequent picture updates. They made us feel at ease as we knew that Archie was going to be feeling right at home for the duration of his stay. She is the best and I would recommend her to anyone. We will boarding Archie there again!!!!!”
“Zach was awesome with our rescued pit mix!! Our pup has some anxiety and can be nervous around other dogs, but he felt right at home during his stay. Zach sent pictures and videos throughout our trip which was much appreciated and helped put us at ease. We’ll definitely bring our pup back for future stays!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Upper Arlington
Our Riley had a great first stay of 4 nights with Rachel. He loved his stay and was treated all so well. Played day and night with Rachel two dogs and loved running up and down stairs as well as enjoying the big backyard. Rachel was a wonderful commutator and mom to Riley. I’m sure we will be back again. Riley now has 2 Rover mom and dads that he loves staying with.
Thomas was a great Rover for our dog I cannot recommend him enough. First, when our previous Rover had to cancel due to storm damage Thomas was able to book us and meet and greet our dog quickly before we left on vacation. When dropping off the dog Thomas asked about our dog’s likes and dislikes walking habits to ensure that our dog would be very comfortable. During the stay we were always kept informed of our dog’s behaviors and received daily pictures and messages of our dog having fun throughout the stay. When our flight was delayed coming home Thomas was kind enough to extend the stay and arrange for pickup in the morning. Thomas really will love your dog and return them to you happy and well taken care of.
“ First time leaving” reassurance Leaving my dog for the first time was not easy. But Lindsey made the whole process completely stress-free. I got daily updates and pictures. Her feed schedule was also followed. Lindsey is incredibly reliable. When I picked my dog up she did not look stressed. She was happy. I will ABSOLUTELY be booking with Lindsey again for all future trips.
Marina was absolutely AMAZING with Chance! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. She kept me updated with so many photos, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me see how happy and comfortable he was the entire time. She took him on plenty of walks, gave him lots of love and attention. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had the best time. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! I would recommend Marina to absolutely anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their pet. She’s the kind of person you hope to find, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Yi did a wonderful job taking care of my fur baby. She communicated well, sending pictures daily and letting me know how he was doing. This was the longest I’ve been away from him since we’ve had him, and I really appreciated how well she took care of him. She was friendly, responsive, attentive, and I didn’t have to worry about my dog being well taken care of. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Upper Arlington sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Upper Arlington landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Upper Arlington 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 Upper Arlington.
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 Upper Arlington 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.
