“My boarding experience with Lauren has been great. I felt really comfortable knowing she was well cared for during my extended trip away. Lauren is easy to communicate with and very responsive. We also do daycare with her and my Yorkie enjoys going back, which says a lot since she’s usually pretty anxious in environments outside of the house. Lauren is very kind and treats my little one like her own, and I really appreciate the care she gives her. We’ve had a great experience overall.”
About: Hi! My name is Grace! I am first year veterinary student at OSU. I previously at The College of Charleston in South Carolina where I majored in marine biology and worked as a veterinarian technician at a small animal clinic down there. I have had a variety of animals growing up including dogs, cats, horses, goats and chickens. I currently have two cats of my own named Goose & Duck. I have been on Rover almost 7 years now and would love to help out with your animals. It’s a great study break for me and keeps me active! I’m eager to help out with cats and dogs of all sizes. Additionally, due to my vet tech experience, I am happy to trim nails, express glands, clean ears, etc in the comfort of your own home! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my services. I look forward to meeting lots of cute and furry friends soon! I have a very flexible routine that I can easily fit your pet into! Although I am a full-time veterinary student, I feel as if that helps me manage my time even better than if I was not! I do my best to keep your pet in their normal routine to keep them happy and comfortable while you are away! This includes a normal feeding schedule and plenty of time outside!
“I had family funeral and Kevin was extremely flexible and accommodating while I was unsure about exact drop off and pick up times. He also sent several pictures each day and updates.”
“Marena was a fantastic sitter for my dog Max! She gave me frequent updates and had no issues with the provided instructions for his care. Marena took such great care of Max, I don’t think he wanted to leave when we picked him up :) I will definitely have her watch Max again in the future.”
“Great communication! Sent lots of pictures and a couple videos. Made me feel like they were treating my dog like family. Loki got plenty of exercise and attention. Great people. Would book with them again!”
“Our dog Apollo has been staying with Liz Marie and her family every time we’ve traveled for the past year or so, including a recent 3 week trip. Having peace of mind that he was being taken care of by people who love him while we were oceans away meant so much to us, and we love getting regular updates and photos. We especially appreciate Liz Marie’s responsiveness and flexibility with pick up and drop off times and her dedication with the various medications and creams Apollo has needed. Thank you again for welcoming Apollo into your family!”
“Zach is an amazing sitter! I was nervous about finding a sitter for my dog Riley since he can be very anxious but Zach made him feel right at home. Riley loved him so much to the point he was giving Zach tons of face kisses, which he rarely does with people he doesn’t know well. Zach also gave me lots of updates which gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend using Zach as a sitter!”
“Sally seemed to enjoy caring for my dog. I was sent lots of pictures and received many updates. My dog was not stressed and content when I picked her up. Thumbs up!”
“Smith had such a great time with Kris and Baloo! He was treated like part of their family and so well taken care of. He had so much fun playing and relaxing and generally being spoiled, and I got so many great pictures of their time together. I can’t imagine letting him stay with anybody else!”
“Fernanda and Bruno were amazing with our two doxies! Knowing that our girls were well cared for made our move to Cleveland so much easier. We are so sad that we will not get to work with Fernanda and Bruno again!”
“Lauren and her family took Doug in as if he was their own. I recieved updates and plenty of pictures of Doug playing with their puppy Cinder, who is an absolute sweetheart. There is absolutely no doubt that I will be booking with Lauren and her family again.”
“Our dog was so happy staying with this lovely family! They treated him like their own, sent pictures often and were incredibly communicative. We’d definitely entrust our dog with them again!”
“Emily is a great dog sitter, I would highly recommend. I truly appreciate the daily photos and the dropping off service. Eevee seems equally as happy. Thank you Emily.”
“I highly recommend Emily! My dog is 100 pounds and has some separation anxiety but did great with Emily! He got along great with her pup and even seemed to miss her dog when he left. She walked him daily and sent pics daily. She was very responsive and easy to coordinate pick up and drop off times with. He’s stayed with her twice so far and I will definitely have Emily watch him again in the future.”
“Megan and Jay are amazing! They’re so thoughtful, warmhearted, and truly wonderful people. They took such great care of Malie, and she felt right at home with them. Their boys were fantastic with her—playing and keeping her entertained. I loved receiving daily photo updates from Megan, and it was clear how happy Malie was during her stay. She came home happy, loved, and well cared for. 😊 I’m already looking forward to her next stay with them! Thank you Megan, Jay and the boys!”
“Sent us a ton of pictures of our dog while we were on vacation. Allowed us to feel much more comfortable about leaving him with a sitter. We will definitely be using Carissa and Andrew again!”
“I didn’t worry at all with Maggie staying at Karl’s. I was able to enjoy my trip without concern for my puppy. She’s a tired one today for sure! Thank you so much for the socialization and care you gave my baby girl! ❤️”
“Kathryn you are such a great dog, mom. So attentive, communicative and super loving. I loved the daily videos and notes that you sent to me. My dog came home happy and tired. Thank you so much.”
“Maria did an excellent job taking care of my dog. She was very friendly and helpful. She sent me many pictures of my dog when I was away and kept me updated about his daily activities. My Watson had an amazing time with her. Would definitely recommend her to my friends and family. ??”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Worthington
Abbie was the best! We booked her to stay at our house from Friday to Friday and throughout the stay was very communicative, sent lots of photos throughout the stay, gave our dog his meds, and we could tell our dog was happy when we got home. On days she had to work during our dog’s regular potty breaks, she not only let us know but offered someone who could help with those potty break times (our neighbors came a couple times instead but we sincerely appreciated that she had those times covered). When our flight home was cancelled and we had to take 3 flights (through 3 countries) home, she was ready to stay another night just in case and stayed super late to make sure Paul was taken care of. Could not recommend her more!
Lindsey was excellent! She sent me photos daily of my Leo as well as descriptions of his daily activities! She walked him daily and since she also has a dog , leo had a playmate; which he loves! I definitely will book with her again in the future! Also , I know for some owners , like myself, cleanliness is important and her home was very clean and tidy!
Corey did amazing watching my little man. He was able to accommodate us with a last minute request and was very communicative throughout my pups stay at his place. He sent such cute pictures that eased my mind showing my baby was clearly cared for and happy. He stuck to my elderly dogs medicine schedule and I couldn't be happier. Will book again!
Erika was such a great sitter!! She sent pictures and updates on my dog Kobe; she also stated my dog ate all his food multiple days which he typically doesn't do with other sitters. Overall, I came back to a healthy, happy pup and I'll definitely be using Erika and her family again.
Our dog Lilo just spent a week at her new favorite vacation destination! She had the very best time making new friends and relaxing. Communication was great while we were gone, we received updates and photos on a daily base. Dianna & Mackenzie are very accommodating and we‘ll be back for future boarding.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Worthington on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 956 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Worthington sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Worthington landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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 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.
