“I was lucky enough to book Kirsten a second time after a great experience last year. She’s very attentive to my two cats individual personalities and provides wonderful pictures and updates. I highly recommend!”
“Sweet, friendly, and very communicative! She loved on my two kitties so very well while I was out of town, and it made my morning to see her dozens of adorable photos of my two boys 💗 I could tell from her first meeting with me that she absolutely loves pets and that shows through completely in her care. Will definitely rebook her!”
About: I have been watching dogs since I was a kid. Starting in elementary school I would watch an adult and senior dog, Frankie and Bianca, for my neighbor. What started as just feeding, walks, and playtime grew to include cleaning up after them and handling medications and minor, non-medical, palliative care. As an adult I petsit regularly for friends and family. I love playing with all furry friends to ensure their brains stay stimulated! I love snuggling and giving all the pats and attention to cuddly pets, but am always content to just offer a comforting presence to even the most solitude-seeking animals. A close friend had a horrible experience with boarding her cat once which really motivated me to enter the pet-sitting space. I know how important and deserving of love and respect all animals are, so I can promise I would care for your pets as if they were my own! I am based in Northwest Columbus but work in Gahanna, so depending on where you live I can come by for 2/3 potty breaks for your pet(s)! My weekends are open for animal time as well! If you leave trash bags, broom, dustpan, paper towels/rags, and pet cleaner in an easy to find place I can ensure your home will be found in the same good condition you leave it in! I change diapers at work so I am not easily grossed out. Whether it is scooping poop or cleaning hairballs, I got it covered!
“Ioana was an awesome sitter for our cat! She was very professional when we met her. She did a great job keeping us up to date while we were away. We came home to a very happy, well taken care of cat. We would gladly book her again!”
About: Ive worked in the vet field as an assistant and receptionist for over 20 years now. I have a soft spot for senior dogs and have experience medicating. I work side by side with trainers so I am very comfortable and knowledgeable on behavior as well. I do work full time, if needed I can do potty breaks on my lunch break however some of my shifts are short only 5 to 6 hour days. I work 1 Saturday per month but only until noon. I have lots of time in between my full time job. I have a large fenced in yard ans crates if needed. I have 5 small senior dogs that ignore eachother and get along well/ignore other friendly dogs. I live in a small ranch size home so there are no stairs, other then to walk out the back door. Im home unless im working, spending time with my own babies. No children, just me and my husband who is also a dog lover.
“She is wonderful!! My dogs loved her and I felt so happy that someone was with my dogs while I had to be out for outing with family!! Thank you so much”
“Gina is the best, she is a great communicator about your pet and has been able to handle difficult situations with our dog where there was soiling in the crate. She definitely deserves 5 stars.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have been caring for them since I was 10 years old. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for neighbors, family, and friends, with experience caring for both larger breeds like Siberian Huskies and smaller breeds like Maltese. I’m also a cat mom! I’ve fostered cats and volunteered with a local cat rescue, so I’m comfortable caring for cats with all kinds of personalities. I also have experience caring for smaller pets, including fish, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, and parakeets. Growing up, my house was basically a small zoo! I work a hybrid schedule and am in the office one day a week, giving me flexibility to care for your pets on weekdays and weekends. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, needs, and preferences. I’ll treat your pets like my own and provide updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I know how important it is for pet owners to feel confident that their dog is in caring, reliable hands. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, a slower pace, or lots of play and attention, I’m happy to tailor each visit to what makes them happiest. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, affection, fresh water, and attentive care while keeping you updated with photos and messages during each visit. I’m dependable, punctual, and committed to treating every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, and visits fit naturally into my routine. I’m able to plan my day around each pet’s needs and make sure they receive consistent care, attention, and companionship. I believe safety and trust are the most important parts of caring for someone’s pet. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, preferences, and any special instructions from their owner. I always prioritize safe walks, secure environments, and making sure pets are comfortable and happy. I provide attentive care by keeping up with feeding schedules, exercise needs, playtime, and any specific requests. I also communicate with owners through updates and photos so they can feel confident knowing their pet is in good hands.
“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.”
“Maddie was great for our first experience using Rover. We have a 10 month old pup that we weren't comfortable boarding while on vacation. We utilized Maddie for deop in services to feed, walk and spend some time with our guy. She was very responsive from my initial message. We did a meet and greet several days before. She followed up with notes she had taken during that meeting to ensure she understood expectations and that we were on the same page. During her times with Joey she provided several pictures and a detailed summary of their time together for each visit. Maddie will.be the first person I reach out to should we need further services in the future. I highly recommend her to assist with anything you may need for your own pet.”
“Heather showed up ready to work with our sweet cats. She went above and beyond and eased my mind by asking good questions that I hadn’t even thought of! She sent photos and reassured us our little fella took his medication. We’re very grateful for your help, Heather, especially on such short notice. Thank you! Tabitha and Andrew”
“Taylor was prompt in her replies, even when I did a last minute booking! She was great with the kiddos, they were taken care of very well. My dog Vali got nice walks and lots of pets. Taco, my cat definitely appreciated the timely meals 😆, churu treats ☺️ and play time. Definitely will continue with her for future bookings.”
“Deanna was very communicative and took great care of my kitties. She sent me loads of pictures and kept me updated on everything everyday. I really appreciated it as it allowed me to travel worry free, knowing that my cats were well looked after while I was away.”
About: I've taken care of dogs basically my whole life, worked at a dog center for 7 years. Still continue to care for friends and family's dogs 10+ years. Always loving them like my own. I am free all summer long, happy to work mornings or evenings. I will continue to care for your pet after summer if needed! I am so excited to meet new furry friends. Happy to care for pets in your home or walk them as long as needed. I can play or just snuggle and give them love that they need while you are out.
About: I have been caring for pets for over 25 years. For the first time, I don't have my own, so I am missing my furry friends! What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am an ultra runner and would gladly take your dog for a walk or run for exercise! I can board your dogs in my home or come to your home on designated weekends or evenings for potty breaks, walks, or even runs! I had two Vizslas for years who would run half marathons with me for every-day exercise! With notice, I can arrange to have my home to myself (if your pet doesn't like children), and I'm happy to board two doggies together! I work full-time during the week, though my days aren't typically 8 hour days. -Thus, if you need a morning and evening potty break or walk/run for your pet, I can accommodate that at your home! -Regarding boarding, I am often home on weekends, so boarding over a weekend is great, or if your pet is crate-trained, I can board during the week as well! I own my home and have no pets of my own. I live in a quiet neighborhood where I can walk your dog(s) without issue! They'll be able to enjoy my home as if it is their own. If you'd like to receive pictures or videos of your pet, just let me know!
About: I can adhere to a meal schedule, help with medications, and am always ready to play/ give your pet the attention they desire; whether that is running around, a few scratches, or simply being present! I have a very open schedule. Most days I am off in the early afternoon, or even morning, and I have the weekends to myself! Thus I have lots of time to play, pet, and interact with your fur baby! I have had pets my entire life and am extremely comfortable with dogs, cats, and rodents. Having recently moved, I currently live in a pet-free home, thus you will never have to worry about another animal interacting with your pet, and can have peace of mind knowing that I give your fur baby my undivided attention while you are away! I live in a quiet area, so rest assured that your pet will quickly acclimate to the calm setting provided.
About: Hi! My name is Addi, I have a lovely boxer of my own who is absolutely adorable and energetic. I’ve taken care of loads of doggies, breeds such as staffies, frenchies, yorkis, boxers and chihuahuas! I’m a current student and work as a volunteer in the ministry so my mornings are often slightly busy from the hours of 8 AM to about 1 PM but I always work around the schedule of the dog I’m taking care of. I currently do not offer in house sittings because I find that dogs are easier to care for when thy ey are in their own home environment.

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.

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.
