“Great boarding experience! Apollo definitely loved staying and playing with her 2 dogs. Rachel sent pictures and updates regularly and accommodated when my plane got delayed for half a day. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. She seemed to love Apollo just as much as I do. Definitely recommend and I will be using Rachel for any future stays!”

About: Hi! I’m an Occupational Therapy student at The Ohio State University and a lifelong dog lover! I have a dog of my own back home in Cincinnati named Doodah, and I’m looking to spend some extra time around dogs while I’m at school. I’m happy to help with dog walking, pet sitting, drop-in visits, or whatever else you may need. I’m responsible, caring, and excited to meet your pup! I am currently a full-time student in class form 8-3 Monday-Thursday. I also work a part-time job, but I am free most afternoon/evenings on weekdays. I am pretty flexible with my schedule and could help on most weekends as well! I live in an apartment right now and would be happy to host your dog, but I probably only have space for one at a time! I have a great walking area around me with grass, as well as parks around me.

“Katie was wonderful from the start! We did a meet and greet and I got to see the area where Katie lives and where my dog Allie would be staying. It’s a very nice and community like feeling. Katie is great to communicate with and make drop off and pick up very easy. One of the great added benefits of working with Katie is she is able to take your pup to work with her so your dog doesn’t have anytime along in addition to all the time outside of work Katie spends with your pup. Allie was in great hands with Katie and I will definitely be working with Katie in the future! A great experience!”

“I would highly recommend LL Cool Dog! From the initial inquiry to the time we picked up our beagle, Sammy, Leslie and her family were stellar. Leslie takes her job seriously and is very professional. She asks the right questions and quickly eases your mind that your "baby" will be in good hands in your absence. The family dog, Shiloh, is a sweet dog with a great disposition. Our 8 year old got along splendidly with her as well. Awesome family, awesome yard, awesome care!”

About: Aside from sitting dogs, walking dogs, and providing the quality care and love for every dog in my care. I have fostered dogs. I have so much love for pets and animals. I’m a full time student, my daily availability is 6am-7am and anytime after 5pm! I’m a full time student but have a schedule that has availability so even if I’m not home the whole day, I’m still able to come back every 2-3 hours to check/for breaks! Otherwise, I’m always home or someone is always home to keep an eye out on your babies! Dogs are my absolute favorite thing in the world, I tend to them with love, care, and compassion. Embrace their personalities, bring joy and fun to their day, or just some company!

Lindsey was fantastic with helping me for my last minute boarding with my dog. She was very responsive, gave me many awesome great quality pictures, and my dog had a blast staying with her. I will definitely be using Lindsey in the future if I go out of town, and would definitely recommend her to anyone that is boarding their dog through Rover.

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.

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Upper Arlington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Upper Arlington is $49 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 956 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Upper Arlington. About 90% of Upper Arlington sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
