“My senior Goldendoodle was so loved and cared for during visits by Emma. Emma was easy to work with in organizing the visits. She was on time for appointments and truly spent quality time with my pup. I trust her with being in my home and caring for my pet-family. I will call on Emma again...she's awesome!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. Over the years I’ve cared for all kinds of animals, from furry friends to reptiles, so I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I treat every animal like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, cuddle, or just needs someone patient and reliable to care for them, I’m happy to provide the attention they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll always care for them with the same love and dedication I’d give my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your amazing pets! When you book with me, you can expect dependable, loving care for your pets while you’re away. I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals—from furry friends to reptiles and even slithering companions—so I understand that every pet has unique needs and deserves personalized attention. Because I have my own wonderful crew of animals at home, I’m unable to offer overnight stays or boarding in my home. However, I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, walks, and attentive care to make sure your pets stay happy, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment. I’ll treat your pets like family, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your beloved companion is a big decision, and I’ll care for your pets with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, administering basic care, or providing plenty of playtime and affection, I’ll make sure your pet receives attentive, individualized care. Communication is important to me, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos during each visit, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, low-stress experience where your pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for until you return home.
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!
“Courtney was so kind and helpful, she was very responsive and communicated very well. My cats are extremely shy and they took to her almost immediately!”
“Taylor clearly intuitively understands cats/animals and is very diligent about providing daily feedback. I have been able to truly relax on my vacation, with confidence Clem is being well cared for. Thank you, Taylor! 🫶🏻❤️”
“Lindsey was amazing to work with! Great communication before and during her visit with our pup. You can really tell she cares about her clients ❤️ And our pup Duncan seemed very happy after her visit! We'll definitely use her services again.”
“I'm so happy we found Andrea! My dog is always good with new people but rarely makes a new BFF upon first meeting like he did with Andrea, the dog whisperer. When I mention that Andrea's coming over, I've gotta watch out for that helicopter-butt-whip-tail. Pretty sure our boy may actually prefer Andrea to us at this point 🤣 She's just so GOOD with our dog Morty, a pit mix, who while is very sweet, could appear intimidating...but not to Andrea! And he's been noticeably happier since Auntie Andrea came onto the scene. She's also super communicative, very reliable, and as a person, an absolute pleasure. I trust Andrea completely and will happily recommend her to anyone looking for dog/pet care from someone that legitimately cares for and loves your pet(s) like their own. She's the absolute best!”
“Hailey did a great job taking care of our cats and loving on them while we were out of town! She also did a good job giving my elderly cat her insulin injections. Would recommend Hailey to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
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!
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, both personally and professionally! I spent nine years working as a veterinary technician, in addition to completing three years of veterinary technician education. That experience gave me extensive knowledge of animal behavior, health, and handling, as well as a genuine appreciation for the unique personalities and needs of every pet. I'm comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including senior pets, anxious or fearful animals, and those with special medical needs. I have experience administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, and my veterinary background allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health that might otherwise go unnoticed. I understand that trusting someone else to care for your pets can be stressful. Whether I'm stopping by to feed your cat, taking your dog for a walk, administering medication, or simply spending some quality time with your furry family member, I'll treat them with the same patience, compassion, and attention I'd want someone to give my own pets. I believe that every animal deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I take the time to get to know each pet's individual personality, routine, and preferences rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach to their care. You can also expect reliable communication and updates, including photos, so you can feel confident that your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine! As a pet parent myself, I'm accustomed to planning my day around feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure my own dog gets the attention and care he needs. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for other people's pets. I'm available for both occasional visits and recurring bookings, whether you need someone to walk your dog while you're at work, check in on your cat while you're out of town, or provide extra attention and companionship during the day. I understand how important consistency and reliability are when it comes to pet care, and I make it a priority to arrive on time, follow established routines, and give each pet my full attention during our time together. My goal is to make scheduling pet care as convenient and stress-free as possible for you! I offer dog walking and drop-in visits in your home, where your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their usual routines. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I tailor my care to their individual personality, preferences, and any instructions you provide. During drop-in visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, medication administration, playtime, and plenty of affection (for pets who enjoy it!). I also make sure to check on your pet's overall well-being and keep an eye out for any changes in behavior, appetite, or physical condition. For dog walks, I prioritize safety while making sure your dog gets the exercise, enrichment, and opportunity to explore that they need. I'll always follow your instructions regarding leash handling, interactions with other animals, and any physical limitations or behavioral concerns. With nine years of veterinary technician experience, I'm comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of medical and behavioral needs. I take the time to build trust, especially with animals who may be nervous around unfamiliar people, and I never force interactions with a pet who needs space. I treat your home with the same respect I give your pets, making sure doors and gates are secured, everything is left tidy, and your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave. You'll also receive updates and photos after each visit, so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in good hands!
About: I’ve dog-sat (and house-sat) for friends for a while, and nothing brings me more joy than seeing happy dogs! I love taking them for long walks or runs, spending the day playing with them, and of course giving them plenty of hugs and pets! ❤️🐶 I’m currently working full-time, so during the week I’m available to go on short walks during lunch and make sure your dog is fed and can use the bathroom. I can spend time with them in the evenings as well, and I’m also available for house sitting to keep them company while you’re away! I don’t have any pets of my own at home, but I’ve had plenty of experience caring for pets of friends and family members. I like taking them for walks through neighborhoods or parks where they can meet other dogs or people and see new places!
“Ashley was such a wonderful pet sitter. She took amazing care of our angel while keeping us super updated on how everything was going. It is very clear that she loves animals and is willing to go above and beyond to make sure that they are treated like the kings and queens they are. She was respectful, responsive, and eager to help:)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 years old. I’ve dealt with puppies all the way up to senior dogs. All of our dogs have been pitbull mixes, but I have helped family members with their smaller dogs as well. I am available from 9am-11am as well as 7pm-11pm for services! I love taking walks almost everyday, so I’d be more than comfortable walking dogs as well. In a clients home, I am very open minded with many situation such as shoes off at the front door, etc. I love playing with pets and giving them company that they need.
“Olivia is WONDERFUL!!! She is very attentive and communicative. We definitely felt that she cared for Indy in a very personal way. We would definitely recommend her to watch any and all of your animals..”
“Mickeala Was so amazing with both my cats. One being a complete curious introverted cat and the other being a clingy curious extrovert. I was worried about them with dogs as they’ve never been exposed but her experience and professionalism got them acclimated so well! She was thorough and sent tons of videos and pictures which clearly showed how comfortable they truly were. They were completely themselves as if they were at home! She was very flexible with our schedule which so happened to be all over the place which required several stay extensions and easily worked with and accommodated us. I will absolutely be using her for all of our pet care needs!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,274 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
