Pam and her husband are the absolute best! We set up a meet and greet before our trip, and my dog instantly loved them both from the start. Pam asked great questions and took detailed notes about Jaxx’s care, so I knew he would be in great hands. And they sent wonderful pictures, videos, and updates throughout our entire trip. Jaxx had a great time and I didn’t have to worry at all while I was away. Thank you!!!

Carol did such an amazing job with Ruby; they were fast friends and Ruby had a great time. It was the perfect retreat from the craziness Ruby often experiences at her usual boarding place - we’ll definitely be asking Carol to watch her again!

Lauren and her family were wonderful with our two dogs. She was very communicative and kept us updated while we were on vacation. We enjoyed all the photos with the updates. I especially appreciate the care she took when their arthritis was acting up. We felt comfortable with the dogs in her care and their additional medical needs (medication).

John and Shannon were wonderful with our dog Oslo. You can tell this family really loves dogs. We got sweet updates throughout our trip. Oslo was happy to see us at the end but we think he would have been happy to stay with his new family - ha! I was particularly struck by their flexibility and resourcefulness when our flight was canceled coming home from our trip. They were gracious, flexible and communicative.

So glad that I found Angela! Leonard, my dachshund, had a ball. We are working to socialize him, and Angela provided him with opportunities to walk and play with a friend. Leonard has separation anxiety, and I am just starting to leave him with sitters. Angela is great. On pickup, I think Leonard was hoping that I was there to stay and join the fun!

Bruno had an amazing stay with Madison. She treated him like he was her own and made him feel so comfortable. She took him on lots of walks, to the dog park often, and kept him active and happy. Her Bernese is the sweetest and really welcomed Bruno like a brother. I don’t think Bruno wanted to leave lol. He came home happy, well cared for, and loved. I would highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog:)

Erin and her family, including her dogs and cat, make my dog feel so at home and truly loved. From the moment he arrives, he settles in like it’s his second home. Erin sends regular updates and photos, which I always appreciate, and my dog looks genuinely happy every time he’s there. It’s such a relief knowing he’s not just being cared for, but welcomed and included. He’s a repeat visitor and will absolutely be back again. I cannot recommend Erin enough.

A Day In the Life for a Rover Pup

Dog boarding with an active Star Sitter on Rover will follow the sitter’s schedule and set routine, which may look like a(n):
  • Morning neighborhood walk, such as a stroll through downtown Columbus’ Short North Arts District
  • Mid-day supervised yard time and rest
  • Afternoon enrichment outing or indoor play
  • Potty walk and nighttime winddown
For approved off-leash play, sitters may take pups to dog parks, such as Scioto Audubon Dog Park or Wheeler Memorial Dog Park. Have a dog who likes to join in on errands? Choose a sitter who lives close to dog-friendly locations like BrewDog Franklinton or Seventh Son Brewing in Italian Village.
Need more routine stability? We recommend house sitting as a service for dogs who are sensitive to change. House sitting in Columbus, OH averages $45 per night.
