About: Hi there, I’m Kaisee and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies. I’ve been working closely with dogs (and cats) for many years now. From dog sitting and grooming to working at an emergency vet clinic now, dogs have always had a special place with me. I understand that personal lives outside of the house can be hectic and that unfortunately dogs aren’t allowed everywhere we can go, I’m here to make sure your best friend/fur child will get the attention they need when you aren’t around and I promise not to spoil them too much. I can give grooming tips if needed and know how to train for basic commands, if needed. I look forward to meeting you and your four legged best friend. :) I work early hours M-F, so I am off work by 2pm and can make those early afternoon check ins. I also know that work isn’t the only thing that keeps us out of the house. Can always check in before bed time so clients can enjoy a late night out. When entering a new clients residence I am sure to keep everything neat and tidy and make sure your pet is safe and healthy. Talking in a soft voice as to not scare any pets and make sure all things are secure before leaving.
“Amazing drop-in visit! Madigan was punctual, kind, and gave thoughtful updates with adorable photos. Her care and attention to detail were exceptional. Truly trustworthy and compassionate—we’re so thankful and will rebook without hesitation!”


About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and understand that pets are family. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’m patient, dependable, attentive to routines, and skilled at recognizing behavioral changes and individual needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, providing companionship, administering basic medications when instructed, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I have experience providing both in-home pet sitting and boarding dogs in my own home. Before transitioning into the corporate world, I partnered with a friend who owned a successful dog-sitting business, where I cared for pets for approximately six years. During that time, I gained experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and care needs. I’m now excited to return to pet care because it’s something I truly enjoy. I enjoy spending quality time with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone reliable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and plenty of affection. I’ll communicate with you throughout each visit by sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll provide patient, loving, and attentive care while respecting your home and your pet’s boundaries. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure your furry family member feels comfortable, secure, and loved every step of the way.
“Lacey was very tuned in to the cats and their needs. She was willing to hold, pet, play or watch them do their thing (looking out windows lol). Gave our scaredy cat space yet still met cat care needs! Her pictures were awesome and helped us to fill at ease seeing how happy they were! Came every day as promised! We will positively ask for her again!”


About: I have had animals since I was 6 and I take care of my animals and my friends and family! I would love to spend time with your furry friends! Currently I am just looking for jobs but in the meantime I am trying to earn money for payments I need and care for my animals! I always have a phone on me so if I need to contact someone or I need contacted that will never be an issue and I am never late and will always be there for your furry friends!
“Courteney was great at communication, arrived on time when I asked her to. And took my pup on a 1.4 mi walk and based on her pics, he had a ball! Def recommend her and will use her again”


About: I took care of my sister's dog for most of last summer and fall. I have developed strong dog-walking skills from this experience as she is quite the timid and confrontational dog. I have learned out to be extremely vigilant when walking a dog and I can read a dog's behavior as well as a human's at this point. My time management skills are par for the course and I have plenty of free time. I have plenty of free time – I have plenty of free time... there.. enough words. I have a fenced yard and beautful quiet neighborhood to walk your dog in. I can also learn the layout of any home and method for taking care of any dog by the standards of any owner within any home.
“Kara did an incredible job handling my anxious big boy. Talking through some things she was seeing and keeping me incredibly well informed. Her care and attention is clear to see from the moment she starts interacting to the conclusion of the visit. Many thanks Kara!”

“This is the 3rd time I have asked Avery to check-in on my four kitties while I was away on vacation, and she continues to be an exceptional cat-sitter! She is very responsive and detailed in her notes. She is my go-to for daily check-ins!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since high school. I hesitantly used this app when I moved to Columbus, and have become a huge fan. I know how scary it can be to trust a stranger with your pet. I’d love to be your trusted partner for when you’re away! I own my own business, which I work remotely, so I am extremely flexible on timing and am available most days to care for your pets! I am adaptable to your pets care needs. I prefer to step into whatever routine you currently have, as to not disrupt your pets normal!
“Cameron is absolutely amazing. I have brand new puppies and she made me totally comfortable with taking care of them for me. She is super responsible and responsive! I’m definitely recommending her to my friends and family.”

“Booked Taylor for about a week and everything was just as I left it. The cats were healthy and happy when I got back. Taylor was very communicative and I would book her again”

“Vanessa did a great job taking care of my cat Lucy while I was away for a few days. I appreciated the pictures she sent during her visits. I would recommend her to other pet parents.”

About: Hi there, my name is Natalie, and I’ve been an animal lover since the beginning! I currently have 3 rescues; my dog Will Sniff, and my cats Pepperoni and Pumpkin. I have 8 years of experience with dogs and 3 years with cats. I work best with medium to low energy pets of any size and shape. I work nights so I’m free during the day, and I’m almost always free on weekends too. Since I have pets of my own, I understand the importance of everyone get the love and attention they deserve. I’ve been reading up on body language of cats and dogs to make sure I can anticipate everyone’s moods and actions. I also make sure toys and treats are pet safe and supervise pets during playtime. Pet safety is of the upmost important part of owning animals.
About: I’m a massage therapist with too much time on my hands, I have three crazy cats and a 2 year old boxer. I grew up with both cats and dogs and can’t wait to meet yours! I work Monday 11:30-5 , Tuesday and Thursday 8:30-2 and Wednesday 3:30-9 other than that I am free! Weekends I’m free to pet sit, and even sometimes during the week I wouldn’t have to leave for more than 6 hours a day. My pets are more than spoiled and I would I’ve to do the same with your pet. From playing with or taking them for walks, whatever they need!
“Talia was so great with my 2 dogs while I was away for the weekend. Her thorough updates of how each visit went along with plenty of pictures of the pups smiling having a great time really meant a lot to me!”

“Nicole is the best pet sitter we have ever had! After having so many failed attempts to find the person who will provide the best care for our girls, we feel that we have finally found that person in Nicole. She is truly interested in our babies and goes out of her way to learn about their individual needs, how to meet those needs, and what our preferences are yo keep them healthy, happy, and safe.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,261 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Darbydale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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 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.
