About: My experience includes caring for family pets and the pets of others. I've walked, fed, and played with puppies and adult dogs. Since returning to the States, I've been taking care of the family pup. I have a part-time job that will allow time to take care of pets. I love to walk, and as part of my routine, I can share that time by walking with a pet. At the client's home, depending on the client's directions, I'd check on the pet, take them out for a walk, out to do their needs, feed them, or play with them.

“Kayla has been terrific with our Rocky. He just loves her! She recently stayed at our home for a week and while caring for our pup, she was respectful of our home and belongings. She also communicates well and is prompt with responses. We love the pictures she sent each day so we knew Rocky was being well-cared for and having a good time.”

About: I have previously worked as a veterinary assistant for 4 years and have experience with dogs and cats. I have had at least one dog in my life since I was two and taking care of dogs is exciting to me. I love playing with them, feeding them, taking them on walks, and just plain loving them! I will even perform basic grooming needs, such as cutting their nails and brushing them. I like to see dogs who love me back all then while me giving them all the attention! I am able to check in multiple times a day, but some days will be later than others in the times provided. If you need someone who is willing to work with your schedule, I’m pretty flexible on most days. I’m here to work with you and your dogs needs to satisfy the affection for them! I currently live in a studio apartment, so boarding at my house gets a little crowded but I am more than willing to make trips. I work a Monday through Friday schedule and am available in the afternoons/evenings and weekends. My main priority is to keep your pet safe. I will do anything for a pet to take care of them. Safety is my number one priority.

About: I just really love dogs and furry animals! No special skills. I genuinely believe us humans need to be our pets best advocators in every aspect. College student who misses her pups back home. I am a full time student at Ohio State. Currently I am not very restricted as I have 1-2 classes a day, besides wednesdays I have 4. I am currently recovering from an injury so I have just been able to walk and cannot do any running for the time being. Expect me to be unavailable for holidays, late December + early January as I will be out of state back home. Thank you for your understanding. I give them lots of love!! I prefer if my clients could give me more instructions than less because I would hate to disrupt on any routine the owner and/or pet have. Overall, I’ll follow the directions you provide with a big serving of doggy love (unless said otherwise in instructions haha).

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, as well as 2 cats! I’ve watched and owned both very small dogs about 10 pounds, as well as 110 pound dogs. I love to go on walks, so I’ll make sure your dogs walk a nice far distance! I will play with your pets, feed them, walk them, let them out as often as needed, clean their litter box, and make sure they’re feeling loved. I truly love animals and I am grateful for the opportunity to spend time with them. I can also provide whatever special care your pet may need. I promise your pets will be in good hands! I work 9-5 during the week, so I am available for drop ins before 9 and after 5, as well as all day on Fridays (I work remote on Friday) and all day on the weekends. I have reliable transportation and I am incredibly responsible. I am available for overnight care as well throughout the entire week. I have had dogs and cats my entire life, but I do not currently have any of my own as a young adult. I love animals and miss my own family pets dearly, so this is a nice way to be around animals while helping take care of them! I am capable of providing whatever care for your pet that you might need!

About: I think what sets me apart is that I really care about making pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I know every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow their normal routine and give them whatever attention or space they need. I’m patient with younger pets who may need extra supervision, playtime, or help getting into a routine, and I’m also comfortable giving senior pets the slower pace and extra attention they may need. I’m responsible, dependable, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. My goal is for both the pet and their owner to feel comfortable and confident while they’re apart. Pet care fits really well into my routine because I work part-time and I’m an online graduate student, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m able to work pet care into my day for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins without having to rush. I also enjoy having a reason to step away from schoolwork and spend time with animals, so pet sitting is something I genuinely look forward to. I’m happy to care for pets in my home or in a client’s home, depending on what works best for the pet and their owner. I always make sure pets have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, and time for walks or play. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make an effort to keep the pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’ll also follow any specific instructions the owner provides so their pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I have had a dog ever since I was born, and am now 24 years old! I helped train my newest dog, so I have a lot of experience in puppy training. My last dog unfortunately had to have her leg amputated when she got older, so I also have experience with disabled dogs. I have also volunteered at an animal shelter for years, so I am good with all kinds of dogs- big and small, anxious and energetic, etc. Whenever one of my friends is out of town, I am their go-to pet sitter. I pet sit for a lot of my friend’s cats, so while I’ve never had one, I know how to take care of them. My dog, Rosie, is my entire world, so I know how important your pets are to you! I will treat them as if they are my own :). I do have a full-time job, but it is very flexible. I am able to leave during the day if needed for your pet! My nights are always free too, so I am able to house-sit. Your pet will be my #1 priority in my routine! I will keep your pet safe with my life! I will ensure they are on a leash when outside and make sure they are comfortable and getting their exercise in. Inside, I love to play with them! I will ensure no doors are left open so they can’t slip outside to maintain their safety. But I will make sure they are having fun while inside!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Canal Winchester

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Canal Winchester is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $3 and $22 per visit. 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 2,448 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Canal Winchester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Canal Winchester 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!

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.

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.

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 Meet & Greet.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Canal Winchester with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Canal Winchester. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. 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.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
