“Jasmine did a great job with my pup. He had so much fun with her and her family! She was very communicative and was flexible as we were edtablishing drop-off & pick-up times.”
“Erika took care of my two babies while I was traveling. Unfortunately, my previous dog sitter is no longer in the area, so I had to find a new sitter. Both my dogs are rescue dogs, so I always worry when they go to a new place. I had no need to worry. When we did our meet and greet, they did well. During the time they stayed with Erika she sent me pictures and updates regularly. There was a small issue with one who has a sensitive stomach and she immediately reached out to me to confirm how to handle. She was willing to give a probiotic every day, to keep my boy on his schedule. I appreciate all those details very much. It is such a relief to find a good honest person to take care of my pups when I need to be away. I will definitely use Erika again.”

About: My family has two dogs. I have experience with puppies to seniors, large breed and small. I have also had and loved a cat. I am comfortable with medication administration. I will leave your home as clean as I find it and will love on your pets like they are my own. I am a homebody and love animals, so my Rover gigs are perfect for me. I will plan around your pet’s needs. Currently, I am doing Rover and I work part-time. I will spend the evenings and overnights in with your pet(s). I prefer written instructions on how you like your pet and home cared for and will follow your instructions. I’m glad to send you photos of your happy pet while away. I like to lounge on the couch with pets, will gladly take dogs for a walk, or play in the yard.

About: I love all animals. Right now, I have 2 dogs (My sweet Gary, an English Bulldog, and CoCo, mainly Norwegian elkhound, husky boxer mix), 5 kitties, a yellow belly turtle, a sulcata tortoise, a leopard gecko, a teddy bear hamster & more. I used to have great danes but they passed from old age. In 2004 I graduated from a two year program, with a certificate in Animal Management. Which includes Dog Grooming & Training, Small Animal, Reptile, and Bird care. I work from home, so I have lots of availability to care for pets from my home. I have worked from home for the past 19 years and I am home most of my time. I might as well have a few extra furballs to bring me joy! I have a 6 foot tall privacy fence. Mini dogs I would have to put on a long lead as tiny dogs can fit under my fence.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Worthington
Carly was amazing! I was nervous about finding a sitter for my girl Lady because she's anxious and nervous but from the moment she met Carly I didn't see her display any of those behaviors. I got lots of pics and videos and updates on how things were going which really put my mind at ease. I will 100% be using her again!
This was our first time using a rover for our dog; the stay was slightly longer than a week and we were nervous for how our goldendoodle would react (knowing they can be anxious). Ashley kept us updated on his status when asked and made sure he was well taken care of. He had around 5 dogs to hang with at any given time which could be a good thing to note if your dog doesn’t play well with others. Ollie was more than fine with the company. Ashley was very sweet with Ollie, and even let him sleep in bed with her! All his pictures throughout the week showed them cuddled up! *insert happy tears emoji* She is very knowledgeable and treats all dogs like her own. I would recommend booking your next stay with Ashley!
Kassi was great with my 2 dogs. One a puppy of 8 months and one an 11 year old with some joint issues and reactivity with some other dogs. She kept in contact with me the whole time and texted photos how they were doing. I would highly recommend Kassi and plan to work with her if I need a sitter in future. The dogs were comfortable from the start!
They have been watching lyrics for about eight months now and when I say I do not think there is no other babysitter that is great for my dog besides these two people right here they constantly carrying and watching over your dog and sending pictures every so often videos. very communicative, I highly recommend them to any dog any owner.
Just can’t say enough good about Allison. She was exceptionally great with photos and communication during my five day trip. I always knew my Sheltie was safe and happy. Allison is both professional and kind, and I will absolutely continue to have her as my go-to dog sitter.
Our experience was great with Miss Erika and family. Daily progress reports and pics were sent. They're very empathetic and experienced sitters that even bathed Chop upon request. For the price, I don't know any sitters could be any more pleased with. Id recommend Miss Erika and company to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable sitter. Juan.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Worthington is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $57 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.

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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Worthington. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 OH 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
