“We were on vacation for a week and Erica was wonderful as always with our German shepherd. She truly cares about the family, home & pet she is caring for and we appreciate all that she does to help us! She’s always our first pick & we highly recommend her to everyone!”
“Stephanie was a wonderful sitter - she was quick to reply to us, even for a last-minute request, and provided us with frequent text/photo updates just how we like it. We came home to a clean apartment and a happy pup. We’d love to have her take care of our dog again!”
“Melissa is mature and responsible. She stayed in my house with my 2 beasts and took good care of my space and the pups. She was very communicative and sent updates via photos. Will be using her services again.”
“Bishop is the perfect person to care for your four legged baby. Our boy had so much fun with him and kept looking around the house afterward hoping to find him around. That’s the best feeling when you have to leave your baby for a while.”
“Brittany was great with our pup! This was the first time we had left her so we were a little nervous of course. Brittany checked in and sent us updates at least once a day and Opal even jumped in a mud puddle right before Brittany was going to leave and she stayed to give her a bath :)”
“Emma watched Sadie while we were away for a day. She was communicative when needed, did everything we asked of her, and even stayed a little while extra to comfort Sadie when Sadie was afraid of fireworks going off outside. Sadie was cared for and in good spirits when we returned. We would happily book Emma again!”
About: Animals are my entire life, and also my eventual career! Over 10 years ago I started walking my neighbors dogs and fell in love with animal care. Since then, I have gained a ton of experience by working with all sorts of animals in my high school animal labs and farms, working in a small animal vet clinic, volunteering at shelters and ICUs, pet sitting for family friends, knowledge through my animal science courses, and much more. I love all types of animals, and I truly hope to provide the best of service to your family pets! I am currently a college student, but I have a lot of free time throughout the week and the weekends to provide my services. My best availability is from Fri-Sun, however I can still fit quality care throughout most of the week Every time I let your pet go outside, I always make sure to have them on a leash to keep control of them for everyone’s safety. In fenced in areas, I am always outside with them to supervise so they have someone to play with and make sure they are keeping out of trouble. I am very flexible in pet care and will do whatever it takes to cater to their needs
“Ryn was so incredibly kind and accommodating with a last minute booking. She came to meet the dogs beforehand, and then spent the day with them while we were out of town. She kept us updated and left our home exactly as she left it. Would book with her again in a heartbeat! Thank you Ryn!”
“Zach was such a blessing to us. He was so understanding and flexible with our needs and our old doggies and kitties love him. He was attentive and thorough with all our millions of instructions for taking care of our geriatric Great Danes with many health issues. He also took care of some things last minute for us that I had forgotten to do. It was such a relief to find someone we could trust to stay with our boys. Thank you Zach ❤️”
About: I'm from Texas and grew up around an assortment of animals, mostly dogs and cats. I have unique experience with newborn kittens including bottle feeding. I also have experience with puppies and large dogs and training, farm experience. I have experience with walk training especially with puppies. I work a full-time job Monday through Friday On Weekdays I am available after 7pm until 5am. On Weekends I have open availability. Thank you for checking my schedule, if you have any specific needs please reach out. I currently only have aquariums but I do my best to make sure that my aquariums are clean and my fish are fed. This makes sure that they don't get sick. I would do the same in a client's home, I do the same when I watch my friends pets as well. I cat sit for a couple friends and help clean up and make sure the cats are fed and have play time.
About: I have always had dogs at home, I dogsit for a couple families on the regular. Dogs come up to me on the street, my family and friends call me a dog whisperer. I love dogs and I am in college away from mine at home I am a student, and i do play basketball but i am free in the early mornings, afternoons, early then late evenings. With that said I would love to have time to spend with dogs and just get away from my school I can not do my home, but I am a very responsible person and I treat others home as if it were mine! I am reliable and can promise a trust worthy helper.
About: Hi, I’m Nina! I’ve been working in the pet industry for over 7 years, and caring for animals is truly second nature to me. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of pets with different personalities, needs, and medical requirements, and I always aim to provide calm, reliable, and attentive care. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care routines, including pets with special health needs. I also have experience caring for anxious pets and understand how important patience, consistency, and a calm environment are in helping them feel safe and secure. Whether I’m doing walks, drop-in visits, or in-home care, I treat every pet like my own and focus on making their time away from you as stress-free and comforting as possible. I also provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your pets! I am available every day and can offer twice a day drop ins providing enough time for meals, medications (if needed), potty breaks and playtimes! You can expect reliability, respect for your home, and consistent updates so you always feel confident while you’re away. I will make sure your pet is safe and happy!
“Rebecca was amazing! She was so patient and calm with my little guy. It took a bit for him to warm up. She didn’t bat an eye at all my requests or learning how to walk a cat. 😁 She sent daily updates with pictures. Rebecca stayed overnight for a week and I’m pretty sure she left the place cleaner than I left it. She even went the extra mile to stay a bit longer when my flight came in late and turned the lights on so I didn’t come home to a dark space. The little guy is happy, clean and healthy. I was able to really relax during vacation knowing everything was taken care of at home. I will definitely ask Rebecca to come stay again the next time I go out of town.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, from guinea pigs to large dogs. I am an animal lover and have experience from young puppies to senior kitties. I am a grad student and have flexibility during my week to check on your animals! I am also flexible by location, since I can work from home I have a lot of hands on experience with animals and follow instructions very well! I have a lot of experience dog and cat sitting and can be attuned to your pet’s individual needs
“Laken was instant friends with our little guy! She communicated very well and made us feel like Otto was in good hands. Otto looks forward to spending more time with Laken! Thank you! 😊”
“Kristen provides excellent house + pet sitting service!!! She was willing to execute a meet and greet which went swimmingly. She sent lots of pet pics/videos with commentary with the status of their stay. We had great peace of mind during a week long trip. They are at the top of our Rover list.”
“Abigail was so good with our pups!! She sent us updates along with videos and pictures of our happy dogs. She took great care of them while we were away and coming home to a clean home is always so nice. Highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2015, but I’ve had pets all my life. I truly treat every animal like family. Caring for my pitbull for 13 years and my cat for 8 years, immediately after that, I understand deep, loyal love. What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive energy. Pets feel safe, seen, and comforted in my care. I’m currently in the slow season with my company and have lots of time to dedicate to taking care of your fur babies. I have 2-4 hours of time I may have to work a day but the rest is becoming besties with your bestie. ☺️ I have a fenced in yard and no existing pets. Your fur baby will feel nice and safe like they are on vacation too with lots of love and attention.
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bexley
Jennifer was great, very communicative and was able to squeeze us in relatively last minute. She came for a visit and was both professional and easy to talk with. Throughout her time she gave us regular updates on our two cats that helps keep us present on our trip. We would definitely recommend her!
Karson was great! She kept me updated the whole time and sent lots of pictures, which made me feel so much better being away from my dogs. Everything was taken care of when I got home, and she even took the trash out before she left, which was so thoughtful. I’d definitely book with her again!
Christine was amazing! She watched our dog and house while we were on the other side of the country, and provided us with plenty of pictures and updates so we knew everything was going smoothly with our pup. She was always quick to reply and left our house in immaculate condition. Thanks again, Christine! We would definitely have her back.
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our senior dog! He took such great care of her and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. He was punctual, attentive, and incredibly communicative, keeping us updated throughout our trip so we always knew how she was doing. It’s not always easy leaving a senior dog, but his patience, reliability, and genuine care made the whole experience so much easier. We came home to a happy, well cared for pup, and we would absolutely trust him with her again. Highly recommend!
Ashley is always kind, warm, and communicative throughout her stays with my pup. She is one of my go-to sitters! She takes such good care of my senior dog and makes sure she has all her medications and sticks to her routines. I trust her and can fully relax while I’m away!
Miriam did a great job housesitting for our cat while we were away for a few weeks. She watered flowers and put the trash out as well as the car she gave to my kitty. She also contacted me when issues came up regarding the house, which I greatly appreciate appreciated.
Wow, I can’t say enough about Autumn, she is a genuine good soul and great pet sitter. She did a great job keeping us updated and when we got home we could tell our pets had been well taken care of while we were gone. She was also very respectful of our home and everything was spotless. Thank you Autumn!
Ashly is great - she sends occasional photo updates so you know your babies are doing great and communicates quickly. She also brought in packages (even big bags of dog food and litter trays we didn’t realize were coming while we were gone) and helped keep an eye on the garden while we were out! She was also flexible with us changing dates when we wanted to get home a night sooner to see the babies!
Sophia was wonderful! She was incredibly responsive, communicative, and flexible throughout the entire process. Most importantly, she was so kind and caring with my animals, which gave me real peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter.

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 Bexley 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 Bexley 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Bexley 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!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
