“Nancy and Santa were absolutely amazing with my girl, Coca Cola! 🐶 They went above and beyond to make sure she was happy and comfortable during her stay. I loved that they sent me constant photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. At the end of the stay, they even provided a thoughtful doggy report card – such a sweet touch! It’s clear they are not only caring but also very knowledgeable when it comes to pups. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, loving sitters to watch their fur babies. Thank you both so much!”
“She was extremely helpfull and patient with my dog, he suffers from separation anxiety and was mischieving but she comfort him and take care of him. I totally recomend this dog sitter. Is a caring and safe enviroment for dogs ?”
“I was worried about leaving my 10wk ofd puppy with anyone for the first time, especially knowing there were other big dogs in the house, when he'd never really met any dogs before. BUT, to my VERY pleasant surprise, it proved to be one of the BEST days my baby ever had, as realized from the video sent to me while he was there. My pup ended up taking over the place; literally running around, jumping on, and over the big dogs who were sweet enough to tolerate his energetic l'il self? 🤐🤣 It was hilarious, and immediately put me at ease! Mr Chang was even kind enough to take him as a last minute booking as I knew no one, but trusted Rover from the past! I can't thank he, and his friend enough for accommodating us, and they deserve more than the 5 stars available! 🥰”
“Janell is amazing! She made my dog feel right at home and my dog was so clearly happy and well taken care of when I picked her up. I absolutely recommend her for anyone in the area looking for an experienced and kind dog sitter.”
“Ariel took excellent care of my Bailey, so glad to have made the connection. I appreciated Ariel for sending pictures and updates without asking, definitely made me feel comfortable knowing he was in great hands and will book again!!”
“Judith and family were amazing with our dog. She watched him for 7 days and treated him like he was part of her family. She sent a lot of pictures and videos and was always easy to communicate with. We enjoyed our vacation feeling at ease that he was being well taken care of!”
“Whitney was great! Super easy to book, no hassle at all. She gave good info and we felt comfortable with her watching our dog. She sent picture updates and we were able to relax on our trip knowing she was well taken care of.”
“Thank you Eva & Kallven M.! I want you to know how much my family appreciated your family accommodating us with dog sitting our Chiweenie “Tip”. It was so last minute, but you took Tip in. I also want to let the other Dog Owners on Rover that I am no kin, no friend, no coworker, no old or current-LOL boyfriend/girlfriend, no church member, no classmate, no association with this family at all! I did not know Eva & Kallven M. before this. Now, I tell everyone this because I am a real client of theirs, and have no reason to make anything up, nor was I paid to leave a great review. This family is very professional-from the first contact to picking up my dog. They responded right away-which doesn’t happen often. They sent me pictures while I was away, and kept me updated when I inquired. Very dog friendly family who we observed to be caring and loving to dogs. I didn’t worry a bit while I was away, this gave me piece of mind. This family is my go to dog sitter. This is the dog sitter everyone wants and needs, I highly recommend this family…..Shawn and Sharlene Claybon”
“Very pleased with Michael and Dara. This was the first time I had to leave my two dogs with a pet sitter. They made me feel comfortable and less worried. I have a dog who needs meds twice a day and can be terrible about taking them. Michael made it work and kept his schedule. I received pictures and updates every day.”
“Timmesha and Joe were amazing! I received photos, videos, and updates throughout Missy’s stay. Their family is wonderful and they welcome Missy as if she was their dog. Thank you again!”
“Took care of my little kujo like he was family, hes never stayed away from home but was so happy there, will definitely book again of i wver need someone to watch my my best friend, thank you so much for keeping him safe and happy”
“Carrie and her husband took fantastic care of our baby. We felt immediately at ease during the meet and great - and equally as impressed when we dropped him off. Carrie is very knowledgeable and even suggested something for us to try with our pet. They went on plenty of walks and she updated us frequently. We picked up a very happy dog. There was never a doubt in our minds that our little Frodo was being well cared for.”
“Patricia was a great caregiver for our Dante. She was very kind and loving and very accesible to meet Dante’s needs. She texted at least 2 times a day with pictures and descriptions of their activities. Dante really enjoyed his time with her and we felt secure that he was in a safe place. Thank Patricia and we definitely would use her services again. Highly recommended!”
About: I was raised with animals and have always had a dog in my life. Our beloved family dog passed away at the age of 18, so I understand firsthand the love, patience and commitment that comes with caring for a senior dog. I am retired and love to travel. so having a dog of my own isn't possible at this time. I would love the opportunity to care for someone else's dog and give them the same love and attention I have always given my own pets. I have experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medications and providing the extra patience and attention they need. I understand how important it is to follow their routines, recognize changes in their behavior, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. As a retired person, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give a pet the attention and companionship they deserve. I enjoy walking every day and would love to include a dog in my daily routine. I provide a calm, clean and loving environment. Fenced in back yard. I will follow their normal routine and pay close attention for their needs.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for a few years and i love it, I have 4 dogs they are all Toy Aussies and they are the world to me. I love being outside with them and most of all cuddling in bed with them, i would treat your dog like my own. Dogs are consider family and deserve all the love they can get! I don’t have a job, i just got out of cosmetology school and wanting to get my license but i would just love to be with dogs all day long, i’ll be available during the week days, if you need me during the weekend let me know, weekend are usually busy for me but if you need help just ask:) I have a fenced in yard but there is a pasture that i do have with cows and a donkey and we do have a chicken, we currently have 8 dogs with us, and if you need me to create your dog i will do that for you
“Monika was great to work with. She gave my dog all the attention she needed, communicated promptly, sent fantastic updates about my dog, and was happy to accept our last minute booking. We will absolutely ask Monika to sit for us again. I didn't have to worry about my dog while I was traveling.”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in West Columbia is $27 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $31 per night.

As of October 2026, there are 382 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across West Columbia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in West Columbia can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their West Columbia home-away-from-home, 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 West Columbia.
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 West Columbia 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 , 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 .
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 TX 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.
