“Marwa and Casey took great care of my boy! He was nervous at first being at a new place, and they helped him find his comfort spot on the back of the sofa, provided extra goodies into his meals to encourage eating, and provided excellent communication with me all along the way.”

“I’m so grateful that I found Kassandra to board my dog, Benji! The consistent updates and photos provided throughout, gave me such peace of mind while I was away.

About: I’m a loving pet mom who enjoys caring for animals, giving them attention, affection, walks, playtime, and making them feel safe and comfortable every day. I work an early schedule from 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings for walks, playtime, and attention. I’m off Sundays and Mondays, giving me even more flexibility for pet care and boarding. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and enjoy time outside. I also have two dogs and a cat at home, so I’m used to caring for multiple pets. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and instructions closely while providing plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and walks. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family.
“Communication with Christina was great throughout the entire booking process. I really appreciated that she took the time to ask about my dog’s needs, especially since she’s a rescue. Christina also sent me updated pictures throughout the stay, which I really appreciated and helped put my mind at ease. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Kellyn continues to deliver a top-knotch sitting experience. We could tell that Mariner got lots of playtime, walks, and cuddles. Kellyn even took the initiative of giving her a bath. We will definitely book again in the future.”
“Carolina was a wonderful sitter for our Remy, especially on short notice. She maintained boundaries between the dogs when needed so he could settle in and adjust, and her dog Juno is a sweet and playful pup. He came home happy and tired and we had peace of mind while away through her consistent updates and photos. Highly recommend Carolina to anyone looking for a conscientious, responsible, and loving dog sitter!!”

“As always, Kelly and her family were amazing. They took care of our Leo as their own and updated us several times a day with photos and notes. We were so thankful that Leo was in good hands during our out of country trip.”
About: 13 years of caring for animals has taught me that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments and understand how important it is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, playful, and dependable, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, medication, potty, and bedtime routines so they experience as little disruption as possible. I’m available for pet care Monday through Thursday from 5:00–6:30 AM and 6:00PM–10:00 PM, with full-day availability Friday through Sunday. I work close to home, so pets staying with me can receive a lunch-break check-in during my workdays. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and provide dependable, loving care. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and any special instructions before providing care. I’m attentive during walks and visits, keep pets supervised, and follow your instructions carefully. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands.
“Amazing sitter for my German Shepherd! I can’t say enough good things about Shakiyla! She watched my German Shepherd, Bucky, for 4 days and took such amazing care of him. Bucky can be a handful with his high energy and anxiety, but she handled him so well. At the last minute, we also asked if she could watch my mom’s dog, Kandi (a Husky/Shepherd mix), and she was more than willing. She cared for Kandi just as wonderfully, making sure her needs were met too. What really impressed me was her communication—she even put me, my mom, and my husband in a group chat so we all stayed updated. That way, if she couldn’t reach one of us, she could easily contact someone else. She went above and beyond by sending daily videos and pictures, which really put me at ease while I was away. On top of that, she shared some really helpful suggestions for Bucky that showed she genuinely cared about his well-being. I am so grateful to have found her, and I plan to book with her every time I need someone to look after Bucky. She’s the best!”
“Ayanna was truly amazing with my baby boy! I was nervous to leave him and she made me feel very comfortable and put my mind at ease! I will definitely be booking with her again! Thanks again Ayanna!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Worthington is $50
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Worthington
This is the first time we left our dog with anyone other than family to go on vacation. We met Mila ahead of time. As soon as we met her we got a good vibe and could tell our Boo would be in good hands. She is the kind of person who loves animals and connects with them. While away, she sent pictures and told us how he was doing, which we appreciated. Our dog can be very nervous and anxious but when we picked him up he was very relaxed and calm. We will definitely use Mila again and feel like he will have a good vacation too!
Phyo was absolutely wonderful as a pet sitter! I felt completely comfortable knowing my Anderson was in such caring and capable hands. Phyo was attentive, responsible, communicative, and clearly treated Anderson like his own. I appreciated the updates (especially the photos!) and the peace of mind knowing everything was being taken care of while I was away. I highly recommend Phyo to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely caring pet sitter. I would absolutely book with him again!
We are extremely grateful for how Jillian, Bobby, and their daughter took care of our dog. They sent us lots of pictures and gave us consistent updates on how he was doing. It really gave us the peace of mind we needed in order to enjoy our time away from home. We look forward to Sherlock, staying with them again.
Tracy watched our dog, Lucy, over Thanksgiving and we had a great experience. We especially appreciated the chance to do a meet & greet beforehand. We’ve had a lot of (previous) experiences where Lucy returns from a stay with a raw spot or scratching a lot. The only thing she came home with from Tracy’s was a bag of treats and a big smile!
Brad was terrific! 5 stars all the way. Our dog stayed ant Brad’s home and was clearly well loved as she wasn’t entirely sure she wanted to hop in my car to go home at the end of the stay. Brad communicated well and sent photos and updates daily. He is obviously very knowledgeable about and comfortable with dogs. I would use him again in a heartbeat.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Worthington is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $56 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.
As of November 2026, there are 2,467 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Worthington. 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.
94% of sitters in Worthington 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 Worthington home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Worthington.
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 Worthington 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 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 MD 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.
