“Kayla is the best. She showed patience and understanding for my furbaby whom never stayed with anyone before. He received lots of love and got a chance to have a play date.”
“Amazing! My dog is very shy and can be antisocial. I am always nervous about boarding him but this couple made my experience stress free. Very sweet and kept me updated throughout Bronx’s entire stay. 10/10 recommend. Will be booking again.”
“Olivia is amazing with my sweet pup. I never worry when she is with her. She adheres to all of my specifics and is very communicative. I’m always at ease when my pup is with Olivia”
“Nikki and her family were great! My golden needed medication through out the day and they stayed on top of it with ease! She sent constant photos and updates of my dog. Great first experience using a sitter on River and would recommend Nikki and her family to anyone!”
“Jennifer and her cute family took turns loving on my two babies. They sent pictures and checked the food and bedtime rituals. One of our dogs is a rescue so we want her to know she will be comming home. She had a good time and loved being cuddled by the dad. We have confidence to take some small vacations and knowing the good care they will recieve. We will be repeat customers.”
“Debbie was great....she gave us regular updates on Roodles. She took very care of our dog....we were very impressed. She even had a meet and greet in the beginning to meet roodles....we felt very comfortable leaving Roodles with her. Our dog is scared of fireworks and Debbie comforted her and got her through it on NY eve”
“Brian, his wife, and his home are the perfect place to board your dog. My dog Cali has felt right at home and couldn't be any more spoiled. The attention, energy, and love she recieved while staying with them couldn't have been more perfect. Their house was immaculate, the yard, and location is perfect. Brian is easy to communicate with and responsive and very flexible. I was going out of town for work and needed a place for my dog and wasn't sure how long I'd be gone. They were helpful and extending was easy. If you're looking for a loving home away from home you don't need to look any farther.”
“Kara took such great care of our dogs! She took us very last minute and was very accommodating! She offered pick up and drop off as well as grooming and bathing for both which I am extremely grateful for! The doggies came back happy, smelling good, looking fresh and well cared for! Definitely recommend and will be booking again!”
“Anna and her family were great! My dogs had a great time in their big back yard and with their dog. When I returned from my trip, my dogs were happy to show me around what they had been up to and I could tell they were well taken care of. Thank you Anna!”
“Heather was so easy to work with and so accommodating for my big, high energy girl. She gave me such peace leaving my baby with her while working a 24 hour shift and constantly updated me on how she was doing. Her yard is huge and fenced in as well which is exactly what my girl needs. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Will and his family were extremely welcoming to Willett. They treated her like she was one of their own. Huge beautiful property for her to get plenty of exercise. I will be using them again while we are away!”
“Mary Grace was a godsend to our family. Our beloved and notoriously mischievous 11 year old /70lb shepherd mix is prone to stress and can’t be comfortably boarded in a facility. He is also getting older, so he struggles with separation anxiety and requires frequent walks and intellectual stimulation. Mary Grace was a perfect fit. She is extremely competent and conscientious. She met both Ranger’s needs as a full time companion (walks, feeding, engaging) and my needs as a concerned parent (pictures, updates, etc). It’s the first time we’ve traveled in years that I was not constantly worried about Ranger. I would not hesitate to book with her again or to recommend her to others. She is amazing and I’m so grateful for how well she cared for our boy.”
“Taylor and her family were very welcoming. They took Bear (Rottweiler 90lbs) in as one of their own. He was a happy dog at drop off and a happy dog at pickup. I’ll be definitely use Taylor again to care for Bear while I’m away.”
“We were looking for an option for dog boarding that wasn’t a kennel. I took our dog to meet Johnnica and her dogs to see if it would be a good fit. It felt like a great fit and our dog had a great weekend playing with her dogs and a couple other boarding dogs. I also appreciated the flexibility in coordinating drop off and pick up times. Kennels tend to have very restrictive hours for that and we didn’t want to have our dog stay an extra night away from us if it wasn’t necessary. While we were able to be there by 5pm she was flexible.”
“First time leaving my baby, Kai, with a sitter in Columbus. Couldn't have made a better sitter selection. Selau was wonderful from their first meeting at dropoff, I could tell Kai felt comfortable with her. I had no worries while Kai was in Selau's care. Wonderful sitting, I have found my Columbus sitter. Will definitely use again and recommend.”
“Donald took excellent care of Rani while we were away. He shared updates frequently with photos which our family appreciated very much. He cares for our pet like they are his own. We can tell she was given a lot of love. We have already rebooked Donald for Rani for her next stay, that should say it! Thank you, Donald.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ms. Catherine was absolutely wonderful with Francois and Girbaud! From the moment we met her, I could tell she had a genuine love for animals and a calm, nurturing spirit that immediately put the boys at ease. She went above and beyond every step of the way—sending adorable photo updates, keeping me informed, and making sure they were comfortable, entertained, and well cared for the entire time. When I got home, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and delightfully tired—which to any dog parent means they had a great time! It’s clear she gave them plenty of exercise, play, and affection. Ms. Catherine treated them as if they were her own, and I truly appreciate her kindness, patience, and reliability. I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who’s attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely loves what she does, Ms. Catherine is the one. Francois, Girbaud, and I are so grateful to have found her! 🐾❤️”
“My pup stayed with Tyila and her family while I went on vacation. The drop off and pick up was smooth. Communication was wonderful. Polly has stayed here a number of times and I know she is well cared for and loved when she visits. Highly recommend this sitter. We will visit again soon.”
About: I'm a full time professional dog trainer, and located on 4 Acres near Brookstone in North Columbus, my house the only legally operated, state-licensed, and insured home kennel offered on Rover. My personal dogs are a Mini-Schnauzer name Cricket, Doberman named Domino, and a Pointer named Marley. Training dogs is my full time job. I own my own business, The Barkitekt, and founded the Columbus Kennel Club. I have 6 years of experience working with dogs, puppy foundations, resource guarding, and behavior issues that take real experience to handle safely. I primarily train service dogs and sometimes sport dogs. I'm comfortable with puppies, seniors, dogs on medication, and large or strong breeds. This service is not a training program. I do not board reactive dogs that have not been trained through this program, this included dogs that have not been crated before. Please reach out for help with training this. Dog training is my full time job and I work from home, so your dog isn't alone waiting for me to get back from an office. I'm here all day, every day. I send video updates daily so you know how they're doing, and I'm reachable by text or email if you want to check in. I have four acres. Two are fully fenced, so dogs get real off-leash room to run in a secure space. The other two are wooded and unfenced with a couple of running streams. I treat boarding dogs the way I treat my own, which means the same basic house expectations: sitting before the door opens, waiting to be released, calm manners around food. It isn't formal training and I don't charge for it or promise it as a service, it's just how my house runs. That said, owners fairly often tell me their dog came home a little easier to live with.

“Extremely satisfied with the care they showed my cat. Communication went above and beyond and I received consistent updates while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking with Tressa and Blake again in the future”
“Rebekah is wonderful! While we were away, she sent us pictures daily and updates on our cat, Linus! Linus, who can be finicky, warmed up to Rebekah quickly and we knew that he was being well cared for while we were away. We highly recommend Rebekah!”
“Alex was great! She gave updates on how her interaction with my cattos went. She also went above and beyond when l asked if she could return to my home to turn the heat on after her visit had ended meant everything. 🥹 Very quick responses and cared for my cattos as if they were hers. Thank you!”
“Oh my gosh, I can’t say enough kind words about Carissa! My family was on our first ever international trip together and it was 10 days long. Our kitty Winnie is only a year old and we had never left her for more than a day and we’re so nervous about making sure she was well cared for. Carissa took care of everything! We asked for occasional photos and she gave us daily photos and updates! Even made us aware of issues on the property and was very mindful of our security and home! I cannot recommend her enough! Definitely eased all of our concerns and fears while we were away.”
“Ben was great! I reached him on a really short notice cause my trip would take longer than I originally expected. He was so kind to come get the key and really payed attention to my pets needs. When he got to the visit, my little rascals had made a little mess. But he was cool about it and sent me cute pics! Thank you so much, 5 star!”

I provide a loving, patient environment where every animal feels safe, happy, and well-cared-for, ensuring their routines, exercise, and comfort are a top priority.

They are friendly and love meeting new friends. We live on 25 acres, and have cultivated a friendly environment for dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. 😊
“Although this was just a test run, Nikki, Ben and their family were very welcoming. They took they time to explain how their pet sitting worked, introduce their family and furry kids, and help me work out other times that they could watch Bear. Bear enjoyed his day care day very much and was exhausted from all the play when got home. Looking forward to the next stay.”
“Mary Grace is an exceptional pet sitter! She agreed to care for my 2 dogs at the last minute and was flexible with my work schedule. She wasn’t put off by my long work day of 12 hour shifts. She kept me informed throughout the day with pics and texts on how well my puppy kids were doing. Though my one dog has some behavioral special needs, Mary Grace was confident in her skills to care for my dog both professionally and lovingly. I highly recommend Mary Grace!”
“Polly stayed with Tyila and her family for doggy day care and it was a wonderful experience. My pup enjoyed the attention of the children and also got to play with their pups. A win-win all the way around. Thanks so much. Already sent my next booking.”
“Omgoodness….I so wish I had found you sooner. You were amazing and so sweet to my baby! He had an amazing time. Thank you for taking such good care of him and for all the updates with pictures and videos. It always takes a load off when we know we can go to work and someone takes care of their dog the same as they would their own!!”
“Gloria was a lifesaver!! Me and by husband needed a sitter for the day last minute for a day trip the next day and she responded immediately and was sweet! Kenny enjoyed his day with Gloria, and came home a happy happy boy! Def book with her for all your pet needs!”
About: Hi! I’m Alexis, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so I know they aren’t “just pets”, they’re family. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and cuddly, or somewhere in between. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and to care for them just as I would my own. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry best friend, so I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages to give you peace of mind. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup and become someone you can trust whenever you need a helping hand! I'm a recent college graduate so I am home fulltime and have more than enough time available to love on your fur baby! There is nothing better than having furbaby love! I do not have a fenced in backyard but will be more than happy to take your furry baby on a walk, welcome them into my apartment and/or drop in and see how they are doing!
About: I’ve worked with animals for as long as I can remember. I used to train hunting dogs and have fostered for paws regularly. I am used to watching dogs of all ages. I am a mom to a 3 month old and I am currently in nursing school. I am home most of the time other than the occasional errand and one 1.5 hour class on Tuesdays. My fiancé works during the day and is home by 4, so we go on lots of walks at the parks with our own dogs. I love to keep my dogs active and their mind busy. I go on multiple long walks and go to the park often. I love to challenge their minds with fun toys that stimulate the brain.
About: Dog loving family with many years of experience owning dogs. We have 3 fur babies. Chip (beagle mix) is 30 lb bundle of love and playfulness and gets along well with large or small breeds Nephi is a 4 year old husky mix and Roxie is a 2 year old mixed breed. We have a large fenced yard and I am home full time. I can offer daycare and overnight boarding. I will care for your fur baby as I expect mine to be, like a member of our family. I prefer dogs that are crate trained in case I need to run errands and prefer not to let them run free inside with no one home. We get lots of exercise and cuddle time. Tell me what will make your pup happy and I will do my best to accommodate. I look forward to meeting you soon! I work from home so my time away from your pup will be minimal. We take lots of outside breaks, but, we keep them inside to relax and stay comfortable during harsh weather. I have a large fenced yard and two dogs that play gently with other dogs. I watch them at all times even when outside. They are never left unattended except for short errands and they will be crated during my absence. I have lots of experience with senior dogs and can accommodate their special needs including injected meds. Mini photo shoot is also included with your pet’s stay! I do not accept Rottweilers, German Shepherds, or Pit Bulls. I am a stay at home mom so I am almost always at home. We get up early and serve breakfast, have potty and play time, or your pup can relax if that is what they prefer. I have a spacious fenced in back yard for running and playing and my home is pet friendly. Your baby will feel right at home and will be loved and cared for just like my own.
About: WARNING- I send soooooo many pic and video updates to pet parents. If you don’t like for constant updates I may not be the sitter for you. I am a huge dog person, my aunt is a veterinary technician, and since I was a child, I went to work with her every weekend to assist her with cleaning the kennels, sitting with the dogs the veterinary clinic owned. Observing the animals behavior. I’ve owned a dog since I was five years old. Dogs have ALWAYS been a passion of mine. Anytime I see one out and about, I always ask if I can pet it or Love on it. I currently have an American Staffordshire Terrier named Kira Bella, I’ve owned her for four years. She is an ex show dog. She’s my child. I treat her no differently than a human would treat their own child. So I know the importance of finding the right person to care for your dog or cat. I am very picky about who watches my girl so I understand, just know that your fur baby is in good hands with me and I will treat them like they are my own fur baby. I have several clients that have booked with me that loved the service I’ve provided for them. I do require a meet and greet beforehand to make sure we are compatible, if we vibe well together then I will book you in right away! I own my own business so I make my own hours, I’ll have plenty of time to care for your babies as my work is very flexible. I will treat your fur baby like they are my own, if they are allowed on the furniture, I will cuddle with them. If they need to be crated , I have no problem crating them. If they need medication I have no problem giving it to your baby. I was raised with an aunt that is a veterinary technician so I spent a lot of time at the vet clinic with her learning how to handle animals and give them medication.
“Lexi took care of our dog max twice and each time it has been a great experience. Always felt safe leaving max for daycare. Lots of updates and always keeping him busy! Will use again for sure!”

About: Hi! My name is Whitley and I have been pet sitting since I was in high school. Now at nearly 25, I still have a profound love for pets big or small. I have a feisty senior Australian Shepherd with medical issues and two cats. I know how difficult leaving your pet behind can be. Rest assured that when you leave your fur baby with me, they receive the utmost care and are treated like my own. I am currently a part-time student and have a small job working at daycares in the community. With that being said, I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I try to be available for any last minute bookings, including weekends. Due to my senior dog's medical issues, I unfortunately cannot house sit at this time. However, I am available most hours of the day. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, and playtime. I provide plenty of love for your pet, and if your pet is shy, plenty of space. With my high energy australian shepherd, I have become accustomed to long play sessions indoors and outdoors. I provide photo updates and communicate regularly.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to walk my high energy pup. Great communication, flexibility in availability, competent and skilled in the management of my pup which gives me such comfort in knowing that my pup is being cared for at the highest possible level by such a pleasant, friendly and warm hearted person such as Alexis and my pup absolutely looks forward to his time with her.”
“Madison has been walking our high energy dog for about 2 weeks now. She’s so responsive and kind and I know our boy looks forward to his time with her. Hope she stays with us for a long time! 🤣❤️”

About: My name is Johnnica and I homeschool my daughters that are 10 and 12. We have a Goldendoodle named Penny and a German Shepherd named Roxy that we adore and we’d love the opportunity to love on your pet! We are a military family and understand how difficult it can be to find a loving environment for your fur babies when you’re traveling. Allow us the opportunity to play with your pets daily. We are rarely gone from home so your pets will receive plenty of loving attention. We have 6 acres they will love to explore with our guidance and under our supervision. We’ve had the experience of watching many friends pets over the years and have always enjoyed them in our home. Thank you for looking at us for your pet sitting needs! We are a homeschooling family so we are rarely gone from home. We do attend church on Sundays and have occasional classes (theater and piano) which require us to be away generally for less than 2 hours. We feed our pets twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. We let our dogs out multiple times each day to play and potty.

About: I have over 15 years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My experience includes German Shepherds, Chihuahuas, Pit Bulls, Australian Cattle Dogs (Blue Heelers), Bull Terriers, Cane Corsos, and Boston Terriers. I am comfortable with large, powerful breeds as well as small companion dogs. In addition to caring for family pets and dogs belonging to friends and neighbors, I was entrusted with the care of the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team (3ABCT), 1st Armored Division Bulldog Mascot while Soldiers were away for training. This experience required reliability, consistency, and attention to the dog’s daily needs and well-being. As a military veteran, I understand the importance of responsibility, trust, and clear communication. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress free environment while their owners are away. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, exercise, playtime, and ensuring pets receive the attention and care they need throughout the day. With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of various breeds and sizes, providing a safe, structured, and loving environment has become second nature to me. As a military veteran, I value consistency, reliability, and attention to detail. Whether caring for my own pets or those entrusted to me, I make sure they receive plenty of exercise, affection, supervision, and routine care. I enjoy spending time outdoors, which makes daily walks and active play a natural part of my lifestyle. Pet care is not an interruption to my routine, it is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard for supervised outdoor play and two friendly, well socialized dogs who can provide companionship if your dog enjoys interacting with others. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and routines. Pets in my care are treated like family and receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day. If your dog prefers their own space, I can easily separate or crate them when needed to ensure a safe, stress free environment for everyone.
About: As a stay at home mom, I can assure that your fur baby will receive all of the love, attention, care, and interaction they could want or need! 💛. We have a large backyard and my kids and are I are around all day to let them out (or in) whenever they want. Our whole family loves animals of all kinds so we aren’t just limited to dogs and cats. We have years of experience with all kinds of pets and are looking forward to loving on yours! Our current menagerie includes: Islay- a sweet tempered 3yo Brittany who loves to run. She is great with other dogs and loves to be chased, but can also be super chill with dogs that are on the calmer side. Bingo- a 10yo humungous Ragdoll cat, who mostly sleeps and lays around all day—sometimes gracing us with his presence for ear scratches. Mayhem- a spry 2yo cat that adopted us after hitching a ride under my car (unbeknownst to me) as a kitten. He is sweet and playful but spends most of his time outside—coming in to eat then begging to be let out again. Ellie- a 3yo very friendly bearded dragon. Paul- a 1yo beautiful ball python. Ollie- a 1yo shy but gorgeous leopard gecko. And 7 chickens all named after First Ladies. I am a stay at home mom so, unless I’m dropping kids off at school or taking them to practice I’m home all day to meet the needs of your precious ones! I have a fully fenced in back yard with lots of space to roam, run, and sniff. Since I’m home all day, I’m able to let pups out whenever they want or need!
About: I've frequently house- and pet-sat for family friends and their three dogs. I love taking care of your animals as if they were my own! Also, I love taking and sending photos, so you will feel confident that your furry friend is happy and healthy! I have experience fostering dogs and cats of all ages and administering medication when needed. I am a teacher, so I currently have all weekdays free this summer. I'm a new teacher, so I currently have free time on weekdays and weekends. I'm in school for teaching, so if I'm house-sitting, I may need to step out for about 2 hours for school, but otherwise I'll be with your pet. I dedicate as much time as possible to your pet to ensure they are comfortable and well cared for. I am flexible and will adjust to meet your needs! During the school year, I can come in the afternoons, holidays, and weekends. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I will follow your rules or steps so you can feel confident that they are getting what they need. I’ll send many pictures so you can see your fur baby!
About: I have about 3 years of experience when it comes to caring for dogs, and although my experience with animals is limited my love them has always been strong. I am currently working full time ,so I’ll only be available for drop-ins and walks. I am currently available Monday through Thursday from 5pm-10pm and Saturday and Sunday from 6am to 3pm. Although I don’t get a lot of time with your fur baby, all instructions and care routine will be followed as to not stress them out. Any messes made while in my care will be cleaned immediately. I will also make sure everyone is in there respectful area whether that be in a crate or a specific room/area.
About: **Please note I am disabled and hard of hearing. I will always prefer texts over phone calls. **Check out what your babies get up to and the pictures/videos I didn’t end up sending on our Facebook or Instagram page, Zig Zag Wag pet care! I have experience with a variety of animals, including dogs and cats, horses and livestock, rodents and reptiles, and everything from basic grooming including nail trims and baths to basic behavior training. (See safety section for further details) I have experience with basic first aid. I have pretty much free and short notice availability, thought I limit bookings on WEDNESDAYS and SUNDAYS as my days off. I have a whole zoo worth of pets and need to stop by my own house throughout the day, so any house sitting will be based on regular visits. I have reliable transportation and excellent driving skills in case of needing to transport. My vehicle has a crash tested seat belt and I have a few crash tested harnesses if you do not have one, though providing your own sized for your dog is preferred. I will not provide transport for animals other than cats or dogs and cats and small dogs must be tolerant of being crated for the ride. I am great at working with your schedule with at least 2 hours notice, but Rover does not allow easy schedule changes. If you need to reduce your visits, CANCEL the booking and REBOOK with your new dates, as once Rover confirms your booking it won’t let you reduce the current rate. In your home, I offer basic cleaning services and can ensure any messes get cleaned. I can meet many varied needs and am meticulous with following your house rules for your pets. I do not offer boarding or allow client pets at my home. I will not provide food or other consumables, though I will confirm what treats your pets can have because all good pets deserve treats. I provide basic behavior assistance such as teaching your dog that jumping on people is inappropriate, basic tricks (sit, down, paw), leash manners, but I DO NOT OFFER PAID TRAINING. I am not a certified trainer in any capacity, though I have trained many of my own animals (including rats and cats!)
About: Experience includes growing up with a mini farm to raising sugar gliders in college and now having my two yorkiepoo fur babies for the last 6 years. My toddler son and I have been doing drop in visits for our neighbors dogs for a couple years now and really enjoy the cuddles and play time! I’m a SAHM so my schedule is pretty open 7 days a week for drop by visits to include walks, potty breaks and play time. Having an open schedule makes it easy to pop over to your home to let your furry loved ones out to stretch their legs, be fed, play some ball, get tummy rubs or for walks. My two small sons are always with me but one spends most of his day snoozing while my 2 year old toddler would love nothing more than to throw the ball 100 or more times for your furry friend.
About: I have grown up taking care of numerous animals, including inside dogs and hunting dogs, bearded dragons, fish, cats, birds, etc. I also frequently pet sit for friends and family when needed, and have been doing so for years! ❤️ I am currently working part time, usually from 4:30-9:30 throughout the week and on Saturdays (besides Mondays). I am also in school at CSU, but classes are over for the Summer 😊 I have a fenced in backyard with a lot of room to run and play as well as a friendly poodle to keep your babies company (they can be easily separated if needed) !! At clients homes, it varies depending on the client’s request. However, I do love going outside with the dogs as well as being cuddled up watching tv with them☺️
About: I’ve been asked to pet sit for a variety of pets over the years. Anywhere from cats and dogs to bearded dragons and horses! I’m a quick learner and can adapt just as fast to match whatever needs are required. I also own two mixed dogs and an orange tabby cat myself. I am a newly wed who recently moved into town and am still getting settled. Until I get connected with my work, I have a TON of free time! I’d love to get to be surrounded by fur babies as much as possible! I love to let the critters set the pace when getting to know me. I believe there needs to be an established bond of trust before anything else. And I LOVE to love on them once they let me! I can never get enough pets and snuggles! I want them to feel as though I’m a friend and family member rather than a stranger. And the same goes for their human parents too! I love to connect with my clientele and keep them updated as much as possible to ensure they feel confident that their babies are taken care of :)

“Kayla is the best. She showed patience and understanding for my furbaby whom never stayed with anyone before. He received lots of love and got a chance to have a play date.”
“Amazing! My dog is very shy and can be antisocial. I am always nervous about boarding him but this couple made my experience stress free. Very sweet and kept me updated throughout Bronx’s entire stay. 10/10 recommend. Will be booking again.”
“Nikki and her family were great! My golden needed medication through out the day and they stayed on top of it with ease! She sent constant photos and updates of my dog. Great first experience using a sitter on River and would recommend Nikki and her family to anyone!”
“Jennifer and her cute family took turns loving on my two babies. They sent pictures and checked the food and bedtime rituals. One of our dogs is a rescue so we want her to know she will be comming home. She had a good time and loved being cuddled by the dad. We have confidence to take some small vacations and knowing the good care they will recieve. We will be repeat customers.”
“Debbie was great....she gave us regular updates on Roodles. She took very care of our dog....we were very impressed. She even had a meet and greet in the beginning to meet roodles....we felt very comfortable leaving Roodles with her. Our dog is scared of fireworks and Debbie comforted her and got her through it on NY eve”
“Brian, his wife, and his home are the perfect place to board your dog. My dog Cali has felt right at home and couldn't be any more spoiled. The attention, energy, and love she recieved while staying with them couldn't have been more perfect. Their house was immaculate, the yard, and location is perfect. Brian is easy to communicate with and responsive and very flexible. I was going out of town for work and needed a place for my dog and wasn't sure how long I'd be gone. They were helpful and extending was easy. If you're looking for a loving home away from home you don't need to look any farther.”
“Kara took such great care of our dogs! She took us very last minute and was very accommodating! She offered pick up and drop off as well as grooming and bathing for both which I am extremely grateful for! The doggies came back happy, smelling good, looking fresh and well cared for! Definitely recommend and will be booking again!”
“Anna and her family were great! My dogs had a great time in their big back yard and with their dog. When I returned from my trip, my dogs were happy to show me around what they had been up to and I could tell they were well taken care of. Thank you Anna!”
“Heather was so easy to work with and so accommodating for my big, high energy girl. She gave me such peace leaving my baby with her while working a 24 hour shift and constantly updated me on how she was doing. Her yard is huge and fenced in as well which is exactly what my girl needs. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Will and his family were extremely welcoming to Willett. They treated her like she was one of their own. Huge beautiful property for her to get plenty of exercise. I will be using them again while we are away!”
“Mary Grace was a godsend to our family. Our beloved and notoriously mischievous 11 year old /70lb shepherd mix is prone to stress and can’t be comfortably boarded in a facility. He is also getting older, so he struggles with separation anxiety and requires frequent walks and intellectual stimulation. Mary Grace was a perfect fit. She is extremely competent and conscientious. She met both Ranger’s needs as a full time companion (walks, feeding, engaging) and my needs as a concerned parent (pictures, updates, etc). It’s the first time we’ve traveled in years that I was not constantly worried about Ranger. I would not hesitate to book with her again or to recommend her to others. She is amazing and I’m so grateful for how well she cared for our boy.”
“Taylor and her family were very welcoming. They took Bear (Rottweiler 90lbs) in as one of their own. He was a happy dog at drop off and a happy dog at pickup. I’ll be definitely use Taylor again to care for Bear while I’m away.”
“We were looking for an option for dog boarding that wasn’t a kennel. I took our dog to meet Johnnica and her dogs to see if it would be a good fit. It felt like a great fit and our dog had a great weekend playing with her dogs and a couple other boarding dogs. I also appreciated the flexibility in coordinating drop off and pick up times. Kennels tend to have very restrictive hours for that and we didn’t want to have our dog stay an extra night away from us if it wasn’t necessary. While we were able to be there by 5pm she was flexible.”
“First time leaving my baby, Kai, with a sitter in Columbus. Couldn't have made a better sitter selection. Selau was wonderful from their first meeting at dropoff, I could tell Kai felt comfortable with her. I had no worries while Kai was in Selau's care. Wonderful sitting, I have found my Columbus sitter. Will definitely use again and recommend.”
“Donald took excellent care of Rani while we were away. He shared updates frequently with photos which our family appreciated very much. He cares for our pet like they are his own. We can tell she was given a lot of love. We have already rebooked Donald for Rani for her next stay, that should say it! Thank you, Donald.”
About: I'm a full time professional dog trainer, and located on 4 Acres near Brookstone in North Columbus, my house the only legally operated, state-licensed, and insured home kennel offered on Rover. My personal dogs are a Mini-Schnauzer name Cricket, Doberman named Domino, and a Pointer named Marley. Training dogs is my full time job. I own my own business, The Barkitekt, and founded the Columbus Kennel Club. I have 6 years of experience working with dogs, puppy foundations, resource guarding, and behavior issues that take real experience to handle safely. I primarily train service dogs and sometimes sport dogs. I'm comfortable with puppies, seniors, dogs on medication, and large or strong breeds. This service is not a training program. I do not board reactive dogs that have not been trained through this program, this included dogs that have not been crated before. Please reach out for help with training this. Dog training is my full time job and I work from home, so your dog isn't alone waiting for me to get back from an office. I'm here all day, every day. I send video updates daily so you know how they're doing, and I'm reachable by text or email if you want to check in. I have four acres. Two are fully fenced, so dogs get real off-leash room to run in a secure space. The other two are wooded and unfenced with a couple of running streams. I treat boarding dogs the way I treat my own, which means the same basic house expectations: sitting before the door opens, waiting to be released, calm manners around food. It isn't formal training and I don't charge for it or promise it as a service, it's just how my house runs. That said, owners fairly often tell me their dog came home a little easier to live with.
“Megan and her family take such good care of Mia. She is excited when dropped off and ready for fun. I have a very worn out and happy pup who I know enjoyed her stay. Thank you for taking care of Mia!”
“Amazing experience with Stephanie and her family. My dogs had so much fun, and were treated like family. They felt right at home immediately and didn’t want to leave at pickup. We definitely will be asking them to board again next time we leave town!”
