“Andrew was so responsive and friendly. Diesel felt at home in their home right away! They welcomed him with open arms like a member of their family. We were so glad to find a sitter like Andrew. Diesel was safe and happy with Andrew’s adorable dogs and kids. We could enjoy our vacation completely knowing our pup was in great hands!”

“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!”

“Another great stay!! Lauren was the best sitter we could ask for. Yogi was so excited when we pulled up so you can tell he has fun during his stays. Lauren originally wasnt going to be able to keep him but a slight pickup time adjustment and she was willing to help us out without much advance notice. Thank you so much!”

“Lacey (and family) were super flexible with us on making arrangements, and clearly know their way around dogs. Our puppy usually hates strangers, but was ready to warm up to them from day one. When our other dog was afraid of the thunder, they snuggled him to calmness, just like I'd have done. Thankfully, they still were happy to see me when I came to collect them, but it seems like they enjoyed their stay. I plan to call on Lacey first the next time we have a need.”

“We have a 8 month old dog who had a blast with Benthany and her husband! When we arrived she had 4 dogs waiting happily to play with our puppy. They even have a backyard for her to run free. She had so much fun that she slept the entire next day. Our puppy sometimes gets lonely because of how spoiled she is and they even let her out of the cage and layed with her on the couch in the middle of the night to comfort her. They were incredible and so welcoming. Anytime we need this service again we will be using them! Thanks so much!”

Thomas was fantastic! He kept me updated the whole time, and I could tell Teddy was enjoying himself. My flight was delayed four hours, and Thomas was great about it. Plus, he walked Teddy to ensure I wouldn’t have to walk him at 11 PM. I will definitely use him again and highly recommend.

Molly was the BEST! She watched my 11 week old Airedale terrier puppy who was very much still at a needy and annoying age, and she was amazing. So attentive and sent lots of pictures/videos/updates. Her dog Winnie is also the sweetest and was a great teacher & playmate for my puppy. I would 100% recommend her!!

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.

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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Upper Arlington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Upper Arlington on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 952 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Upper Arlington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.
