“Ericka was amazing! She arrived as planned, had great communication and took care of all our pup’s needs. She also sent some awesome photos on our Rover Card. I highly recommend Ericka and can’t wait to have her back again.”
“Danielle was great! She took good care of our two dogs over the weekend. One of which is a deaf rescue who is often leery of strangers. They both warmed right up to her. She sent photos/videos and notes at each visit and you could see that our pups were happy and at ease. I would definitely recommend her services to others and we will use her again in the future! Thanks Danielle! El Jay and Chris Richards”
“Meghana was amazing with our cat! She checked in every day, played with Fiona, gave her clean water, scooped her litter, and gave her lots of love. She also sent daily pictures and updates! It was such peace of mind knowing that our cat was being taken care of while we were away. We will absolutely use Meghana again. Highly recommend!!”

About: Hello! My name is Erin, and I live in the Dublin/Columbus area. I recently lost my miniature Dachshund, Leo, in April after 13 wonderful years together. He was truly my best friend and constant companion, and while I’m heartbroken over the loss, being around animals continues to bring me so much comfort and joy. I work remotely from home Monday–Friday (8am–5pm), which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to spend quality time caring for pets throughout the day. I have over 15 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I understand how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your furry family member. Whether your pet needs walks, feeding, companionship, playtime, or simply extra love and attention while you're away, I would be honored to help. I truly have a lot of love to give, and pet sitting feels like such a meaningful way to fill my free time while doing something that makes me happy. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m happy to chat, provide references, and make sure you feel completely comfortable and confident in your pet’s care. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I work remotely from home full-time and have a flexible schedule throughout the day. I’m able to provide walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention while still maintaining my work responsibilities. I’m also open on weekends and available for house sitting. Since I can work from anywhere with Wi-Fi, I’m happy to stay in your home and keep your pets comfortable in their normal environment while you’re away. At this time, I’m staying in my mom’s home and unfortunately can’t bring other pets into the house. However, I’m very flexible and happy to care for pets in their own home environment where they’re most comfortable.
“I was really to have Ashley as the pet sitter for my cat, Neo. She was very professional while also being warm and caring. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Neo was well looked after and comfortable with her. I would happily recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind pet sitter!”
About: As a clinical professional with an extensive healthcare background, I bring clinical observation, safety, and gentleness to pet care. I specialize in providing peace of mind to owners of senior and special-needs dogs and cats who require extra patience or medical support. Because I look after a cat of my own, I know how stressful it is to leave a beloved pet with health challenges at home alone. I offer part-time care with open, flexible daily availability to ensure your pet stays strictly on their routine. Because I choose to work part-time with open, flexible availability, pet care doesn't just squeeze into my routine. Rather, it acts as the anchor of my day. My flexible schedule allows me to prioritize your pet's specific routine, whether that means a precise morning medication window, a midday wellness walk, or a late-evening check-in. Because I am not rushing between a rigid 9-to-5 job, I can dedicate my full, undivided attention to monitoring your pet’s comfort, pacing, and medical needs exactly when they need me. I love meeting animals right where they live! Because I have a temperamental senior cat who rules my own house, I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes. This environment is especially vital for the senior and special-needs pets I often work with, as keeping them in familiar surroundings dramatically reduces stress. Visiting pets where they are most comfortable allows me to focus on maintaining their precise daily routine, accurately administering any required medications, and providing a calm, dedicated presence right in their comfort zone.
“Ashley actually watched my cats (not dog) and was perfect, they are shy but peaked at her and she was able to get pictures. I appreciate the questions and making sure they were taken care of.”
About: I have been an animal lover since the day I was born. My mom’s nickname for me growing up was Snow White because I would make friends with the animals everywhere I go. I work full time as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic where I work with animals 5 days a week and find work on the side house and cat sitting for family, friends, and mutual. As the designated “responsible mom friend” amongst my peers I’m lucky enough to have been honored with the task of looking after multiple pets, homes, and apartments throughout the years taking care of peoples furry family members they sadly have to leave behind when out of town and the homes they live in just to keep a responsible eye on things while their owners are away. I’m a type A, an Aquarius and an ENFJ As mentioned I do work full time at a Vet clinic. I get 2 weekends and 2 weekdays off a month. My schedule is typically either 7:15am-4:30pm with a break from 12-1pm or 10:30am-7:30pm with a break from 1-2pm. I am willing stop by to perform pet care during my breaks at work depending on the distance. I get my schedule out a month in advance and typically schedule my personal (trips, obligations, appointments etc.) a month ahead of time as well I have experience administering medication, feeding, changing litter box, dog walking, and of course giving lots of love and affection and play time to pets.
“Erin was fantastic with our three older dogs during her drop-in visits this week. Taking care of senior pups requires a certain level of attentiveness, and Erin delivered. She was incredibly punctual, showing up right on time for every single visit, which kept our dogs on their necessary routine. Her communication was prompt and detailed, giving us peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely work with Erin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“Kimberly was an awesome pet sitter and we will certainly use her again. My kitties are older and so it is important that we use a sitter who will closely monitor them to make sure they are doing well while we are away. Kimberly took great care of our three cats and spent time interacting and playing with them on visits, which was important to me. Her communication after the visits was excellent. Thank you Kimberly!”
About: I provide more than just basic pet sitting — I offer attentive, personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique needs and personality. With experience in both puppy training and senior pet care, I understand the extra patience and specialized attention that different life stages require. Whether it's helping a puppy with potty training and basic commands, or ensuring a senior pet gets their medications and gentle movement, I treat every animal like my own. I’m working part time so I have plenty of time to play with puppy’s I will be going back to school soon so I can do anything after 4pm except for Friday's. Whether pets stay in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, my top priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home I provide a calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. I maintain a consistent routine that matches what your pet is used to including feeding schedules, walks, and bedtime habits. In your home when caring for pets in their own environment, I respect your routines and your space. I stick to the schedule your pet knows.
“Qiushi is very kind, reliable, and trustworthy. She goes above and beyond what she “needs” to do. I always get the cutest photos when she’s with our Frenchie and he just adores her. 10/10 recommend!!”
“Rebekah did a great job stopping in to take care of our pup Melvin during the day. She always left a detailed note each day of what they did and even his mood. I loved that she worked on his commands with him each day and sent us a lot of pictures of him. We would definitely use her in the future!”
About: I grew up around dogs, never having lived without one. I love all animals, and firmly believe that no matter what, they all deserve love and care. I currently work part time with a varied schedule, so I will typically have half of any day of the week to provide pet care. Whenever I am unable to directly watch a dog, I will crate them; I am NEVER comfortable leaving a dog roaming free by themselves. I apply toddler logic basically: the worst things always happen when you turn your back on them. However I understand that there can be exceptions, such as a dog or cat that roams freely without any issues whatsoever. I never want to put an animal in a situation where they may cause harm to themselves or others, and I am more than happy to comply with any specific safety standards you have set for your own pet's health and well-being.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dublin
Erin is a great sitter that takes amazing care of our 2 cats. I appreciate her communication, her attention to detail to their routine and that she was able to continue my cats new medicine. I know my cats are in great hands when she is watching them. Will book with her again!
Emily was absolutely amazing! One of our cats is very shy of strangers, so I wasn't even expecting too many pictures of him, but she built enough trust for him to let her pet him and even pick him up! We're so grateful for the peace of mind her drop ins and pictures provided during our trip.
Amy provides excellent care to our 2 cats. She spends time with them although sometimes they don't show up. She makes sure that they have everything they need. We feel confident that our cats are getting excellent care during our vacation. Amy sends a daily update and any pictures. We will use her again.
We were so very lucky to have Jennifer take care of our baby Tucker. Even though he just turned 12, he is extremely friendly and cuddly, and needs lots of love. Jennifer fit the Bill completely not only did she take such excellent care of his food needs. She also took the time to pet him rub his belly and play with him which was essential, along with being fed. Jennifer also did extra things for us while we were gone, like collect our mail and take care of my plants. which she did not have to do. She kept the litter box extra clean as well.
Meghana did an excellent job looking after our three cats while we were out of town. She sent lots of pictures everyday and did everything we asked her to. We would definitely recommend her to others and we would absolutely book her again the next time we go out of town.
Erica was so great with our kitties while we were away. She had come over to meet them and go over care instructions before we left, so we felt comfortable knowing they were going to be well taken care of. She sent daily pictures and updates, which helped keep us in the loop on how they were doing. One of our kitties had a birthday while we were away and Erica went above and beyond to celebrate her, which meant the world as a pet parent! We will definitely be asking for her help again next time we need help caring for our cats.

- 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
