“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.”
“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!”
“Mary has watched my fur baby Lady twice, and she is a fantastic sitter. Very warm and caring, Lady immediately took to her, FooFoo and Ellie(forgive me if I misspelled their names). Will definitely use Mary again.”
“We had a great experience with Megan and Jay! They provided frequent updates with pictures. Luna came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely book again.”
“We felt very comfortable our pup was getting the best care while staying with Ellen. She had great communication throughout the process and we so appreciated the pic/video updates she shared with us!”
“Cindy was very prompt and professional when I had my dog boarding. She took care of my dog very well and sending updates every so often. Very professional and prompt and definitely recommend. Thanks for such a great care for Cappi!”
“Thomas was so thoughtful and caring with our puppy! Daily pictures and lots of playtime with his dog. We were gone for 2 and a half weeks and I never worried about the care and attention she was getting!”
About: I lived with my brother’s dog for over 20 months, but I unfortunately no longer live with her now. I have done three house sits for cats but will accept dog only 😊 I work full time on weekdays and am available on weekends only (Friday night to Sunday night). I will be exploring parks and be happy to be in the nature with your dog. I will feed your dog regularly. I will make sure that your dog gets regular bathroom breaks (every 6 hours) and may send you a lot of photos.
“Pam was amazing! She is so kind and loving, our pup had a great time! Great at communication, flexible and fantastic photos during our trip. I highly recommend.”
“Carissa is always an amazing sitter. She sends us pics of our dogs and it is always clear when he get to her home he is excited to see her and play in her backyard with his buddies. Will always come back and use her when she is available.”
“Jade was simply phenomenal. Flexible, upbeat and commmunicative, she spoiled my little guy, and he came back the most happy and relaxed I have seen him in years of boarding. I will definitely use her services again, and you should too!”
“Just can’t say enough good about Allison. She was exceptionally great with photos and communication during my five day trip. I always knew my Sheltie was safe and happy. Allison is both professional and kind, and I will absolutely continue to have her as my go-to dog sitter.”
“Angela did a wonderful job taking care of Willow. She sent pictures and updates which was much appreciated. Will book with her again! Willow loved their morning jogs together as well.”
“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!”
“I used to go to a boarding place for my dog when I traveled in the past but once my dog is getting old, I was looking for more personal care for him. My dog is very sensitive and has anxiety issues, but he was OK under Allison's care. I was so lucky to find Allison and she provided good care of my dog and my dog seemed to be comfortable while he stayed with Allison and her dog Tashi in her house. She updated me on how my dog was doing few times each day. I think she understands the senior pets very well, and she provides perfect care for them. Now, I can travel worry-free if my dog stays with Allison.”
“Tom was great with Clyde! This was only a one night boarding, but Tom sent plenty of pictures and a video. I will definitely be using Tom again for a one nighter or a longer boarding of Clyde.”
“I love her, Hayley loves her. She would send me pictures and videos to update me on my fur baby. I was so worried about leaving her alone with someone new and the updates really helped. I will be booking Ms. Tamisha again.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Upper Arlington is CA$45

Malerie & Blake have exceeded our expectations for puppy daycare!!!! They constantly kept us in the loop for our 3 month old puppy and sent TONS of pictures which I loved!! They took her on walks and made sure to give her lots of praise and love and they have the best attitude!!! 12/10 would book over and over!!!
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!
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!
