“Maggie and Willow are OUTSTANDING. I can’t imagine finding a better dog sitter for my senior dog. Pictures of fun times and walks everyday erased my anxiety about leaving him for our vacation! 10 stars!⭐️”
“Ashlyn is amazing! She is incredibly sweet and polite, and SO GOOD with our pups! They both have their own little quirks but that didn’t bother her one bit. This was our first time using rover ever, and we will absolutely be reaching out to Ashlyn for all future trips.”
About: Dog CPR and First Aid certified. Your pet will be given lots of love and attention, and you can be sure they are with someone reliable. I can exercise your dog as much as needed. My own dog is high energy and I take him for runs, he goes in the stroller when he gets tired :) I have experience with senior dogs, puppies, dogs with medical conditions, allergies, and specific dietary needs. I can administer medication and I know how important it is to follow strict guidelines, as my own dog has severe allergies. I work from home so I am available most of the time. I don’t know why this section requires twenty five words, but it does. I have a fenced yard and one high energy fur baby of my own. Your dog can cuddle with us in the human bed, or you can bring their own! I do not have an extra crate, so you will need to bring one.
“Anna was beyond amazing! She watched my dog for a week while I was out of town and was very communicative, checking in with me every day and sending photos and videos. I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her and am so excited to have found Anna so she can help watch my pup again in the future! I can’t recommend her enough!! :)”
“Madeline stayed with my babies over night which I much appreciated it. She sent pictures daily of them. The 1st day with them she didn;t leave which made them feel secure. Felt like they were loved and taken care of since have 2 puppy mill moms and 3 cats which think Zoey maybe slept with her since the room she slept in Zoey has now claimed for her room.”
About: Hi! I’ve grown up with pets since I was 6yrs old and have experience taking care of fish, hamsters, geckos, dogs and plenty more. I’m excited to provide dependable, loving care for your furry family members. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m organized, detail-oriented, and someone you can trust to follow instructions, communicate updates, and treat your pets like they’re my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pets and provide them with the attention and care they deserve! I’m available during the day or overnight! Got a vacation coming up? Don’t worry, I got you! My schedule is consistent and I’m available weekends. I follow routines, and will accommodate to your pet’s needs. I can come to you so your pet can be in a familiar environment. Daily meds? I got it. Your pet’s health is my top priority. Please note that rates may vary depending on booking length, travel distance, number of pets, holiday dates, medication needs, special care instructions, and additional home care responsibilities. While house sitting, I’m also happy to help care for your home by bringing in mail and packages, watering plants, and taking trash or recycling bins to the curb upon request.
“Jennifer did a phenomenal job with our quite nervous, shy Corgi. Our dog became comfortable with her on the first visit and she followed all instructions explicitly. I would definitely recommend her and will use her services again. She seems to really enjoy caring for animals and is very conscientious.”
“I'm extremely pleased with the overall care that Erin provided my two kitties while I was away on vacation. Erin was super communicative throughout her stay and I really appreciated the pictures and updates. She provided medication administration for one of my cats twice a day and followed my instructions for both cats perfectly. She truly allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worrying about anything back home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent sitter and look forward to booking her for future stays!”
“Jamie was fabulous! She communicated often and sent lots of pics. She left my home and my fur baby clean and healthy and exactly as I left them. I can tell she made a new friend. ❤️”
“Mia did amazing with our dogs. They are sensitive and tend to have high anxiety when things change. Upon coming home there were no accidents and the dogs approached us as if nothing happened, meaning, she loved them and tended to them in the same mannor we would. She also gave the same love to our bearded dragon. Thank you so much for stepping in while we can step out!”
About: I have been watching dogs since I was a kid. Starting in elementary school I would watch an adult and senior dog, Frankie and Bianca, for my neighbor. What started as just feeding, walks, and playtime grew to include cleaning up after them and handling medications and minor, non-medical, palliative care. As an adult I petsit regularly for friends and family. I love playing with all furry friends to ensure their brains stay stimulated! I love snuggling and giving all the pats and attention to cuddly pets, but am always content to just offer a comforting presence to even the most solitude-seeking animals. A close friend had a horrible experience with boarding her cat once which really motivated me to enter the pet-sitting space. I know how important and deserving of love and respect all animals are, so I can promise I would care for your pets as if they were my own! I am based in Northwest Columbus but work in Gahanna, so depending on where you live I can come by for 2/3 potty breaks for your pet(s)! My weekends are open for animal time as well! If you leave trash bags, broom, dustpan, paper towels/rags, and pet cleaner in an easy to find place I can ensure your home will be found in the same good condition you leave it in! I change diapers at work so I am not easily grossed out. Whether it is scooping poop or cleaning hairballs, I got it covered!
“Marissa was great! She saved me after a last minute cancellation. She is very communicative. She sent pictures of my cats constantly and would let me know when she was leaving in and out of the home. It looked like my cats really enjoyed her company and she enjoyed theirs. I would definitely book her again.”
“Beth was fantastic. Very trustworthy and struck a great balance between letting us know how our dogs were doing and letting us enjoy our trip in peace knowing they were in good hands! We would definitely go with her again.”
“Thea was amazing! She was more than happy to stay with Sasha on short notice. She took great care of her and of the house. Thea was communicative, sent lovely pictures, and made me very confident my girl was in good hands. Highly recommend Thea to others!”
About: I work at The Wag Dog Bar in Grandview! If your pups like other ones, let’s talk about the possibility of me bringing them for a few hours! If that makes you uncomfortable, no worries! I will still enjoy doing all other services to provide for your pup :) This position put me through a lot of training about dog behavior! I recently rescued my very own bully mix from the shelter. I am very comfortable with any and all pups! I am currently working two part time jobs so my schedules often changes! If you want to ask, please reach out and I will provide you my schedule for the whole week! My pup is like my child. I treat her with gentleness, just like I would your pup. I always have treats on hand (please let me know if your pup has any allergies!) I always go by the policy that the pup’s comfort and experience comes first!!
“Taylor was great! I reached out rather last minute, and she responded right away. She sent me tons of photos and helpful updates. I could tell my kitties were well taken care of while I was away ❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Amlin
Katelyn was wonderful with our dog who warmed up to her right at the first meet and greet. She sent daily pictures which gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was comfortable while we were gone. We are very grateful for her care as it made it easier to enjoy our vacation.
Holly did an amazing job watching my two pups while I was out of town. She was incredibly responsive and kept me updated with pictures the entire time. It was nice being able to see my dogs warm up to her. It was also a plus to know she was confident handling the medication for my dogs.
This was our first time booking Thea but we will definitely be asking again. She was amazing with our dogs. One of them takes a while to warm up to strangers. When he first met her, he was wagging his tail, allowing her to pet him, etc. I honestly haven’t seen him do that with anyone he just meets. She kept us informed with multiple daily updates and pics. And when we came home, our house was cleaner than we left it! I wish I could give Thea more stars. She is terrific!
Jennifer H.did a wonderful job taking care of our cat and our house while we were on vacation, We were gone 11 days. She was very conscientious. She brought our mail in and took our garbage out. She was very caring toward our 11 year old, grumpy cat. Our cat ate well and used his litter box per usual. She gave him the space and distance he needed and made us feel comfortable that he was doing well so we could enjoy our time on vacation.She texted us with daily photos to keep us updated. I appreciated all of these texts. I will use her services again and I can highly recommend her services. Thank you Jennifer for your amazing care.
Jamie has always been a great sitter for us! She genuinely cares and has fun with our pets while we’re away. She makes sure to read & follow all the instructions we leave, and keeps us informed with lots of pictures. She even washed the sheets and towels and remade the bed before heading out, which she definitely didn’t have to do! All in all would definitely recommend Jamie as a pet / house sitter if you are looking for someone kind, communicative, and responsible!
Paula and Kaidy did a wonderful job with Max and Laney my kitty. I received photo updates of walking and playing and information daily aput how they were doing at home. Made it so much easier to be away from them. MY home home was safe in their presence. Clean and tidy upon my return. Happy to make their acquantance!! Would not hesitate to use Paula again. She is very friendly and responsive.

FAQs for House Sitting - Amlin
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Amlin on Rover is $49.95 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 House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,507 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Amlin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Amlin walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Amlin maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Amlin choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
