“Erica did great checking on my kitties while I’m out of town. This was my first time using rover so I was a little nervous but she uploaded pictures and made my kitties feel comfortable. Will definitely use her again!”
“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”
“Victoria did a great job taking care of our rambunctious dogs and cat. She was on-time, made our animals happy, and made sure everyone ate and went outside. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Carina checked in on our 2 cats over a long weekend, and we were very pleased with the experience. She was attentive, caring, and went above and beyond to ensure our cats were well taken care of. She even watered our plants without being asked. We’ll definitely be requesting her again in the future!”
“Very friendly, readily available, and great communicators. I felt like my pet was happy and safe in their care and comfortable with them in our home. They even brought in a package for us from our doorstep. Great pet-sitters and we will definitely book with them again in the future!”
“We are just so grateful for Jessica! Our home routine has been off this week which has been challenging for the dogs but she gave them some much needed activity, enrichment, and snuggles (and managed Teddy and his upset tummy). It’s such a relief knowing we have someone to help us ensure the dogs are happy and living their best life. It definitely minimizes the dog mom guilt on a week like this.”
About: I have lived with pets my whole life so I am very comfortable caring for your pets as I would my own! I can promise you peace of mind knowing your pets will be well taken care of! I have two cats at home currently so I am very used to attending to their many needs. I have a very flexible healthcare job and I am looking for some extra happy moments to add to my day ◡̈ I know having others in your home can feel very invasive however I promise to care for your pets while always respecting your households privacy!
“Estefani was incredible and very responsive. I booked last minute for my cat who I had never left alone overnight, and was worried she would be upset. My cat was rude and didn’t even care that I was gone! I got pictures of her playing and cuddling and texts asking clarifying questions when necessary. Looking forward to rebooking without guilt that my cat is sad without me.”
“We met Melanie during the pandemic, and she has watched our kitty Boots for us a couple times so far. She is/was very respectful of covid precautions and made us feel very comfortable during our meet and greet. She clearly has a love for animals and will give your pet TLC while you are away. She took the time to listen to our requests and answered any questions we had. She shows up on time and pays attention to the detailed notes/tasks we leave. We recommend Melanie!”
“Asiah was great, we had given her some wrong information and she was patient and understanding as we worked through the issue. Would definitely ask to visit our cats again. Not to mention we didn't pay for cuddles but she still gave our cats love!”
“Ariel is so sweet with our boys. Trust worthy. It’s nice to have someone you can completely trust with your pets. Finally be able to go on quick trips without worrying. She is amazing”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, from guinea pigs to large dogs. I am an animal lover and have experience from young puppies to senior kitties. I am a grad student and have flexibility during my week to check on your animals! I am also flexible by location, since I can work from home I have a lot of hands on experience with animals and follow instructions very well! I have a lot of experience dog and cat sitting and can be attuned to your pet’s individual needs
“Darren took such great care of our particular boy! Koda struggles to eat when we go out of town and Darren was great with communicating if he ate or not and how long they got to walk for. Koda loved seeing Darren! Thanks for everything!”
“Jenna did a great job watching my cats - she played with them and gave them treats, and it seems like my youngest cat really liked her! I would highly recommend her and will be sure to book her again.”
“Ann was super accommodating and understanding when we had last minute holiday plans change. She fit us into her schedule and made sure our boys were well taken care of. Couldn’t have asked for a better person to spend some time on Christmas (for the third year in a row) with our two pups!”
“Kimberly is awesome! We’re so fortunate to have her taking care of our three cats when we travel. She provides great updates and photos and provides outstanding care. We don’t have to worry when we’re away and have peace of mind that our pets are well cared for.”
“Ann was absolutely wonderful with my puppy! Since she’s still so young, she requires a little extra care, attention, and patience, and Ann went above and beyond to make sure she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly appreciate the love and attention Ann gave her, and I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for her services.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gahanna
Amazing work with our dogs. We were in an area that did not have phone service and were unable to check in the way we'd hoped. But we were eventually able to see that Rachel had taken several dozen photos and a summary of her visits with them. She was able to meet and greet with our dogs on short notice in preparation for a visit that was also on short notice. Very thankful to have someone like Rachel to call to help with our pups.
Maddie was able to stop by for drop-ins to care for our dogs, Lewey and Rizzo, during the week while I was at work. She sent updates each time and super adorable pictures! We always appreciate her taking such great care of our pups, and look forward to booking again!
Rachel took amazing care of my dog over the past few days. She was attentive, responsible, and truly caring. I really appreciated that she took him out for walks. I know he can pull pretty hard, and she handled it so well. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Gahanna stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Gahanna 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 Gahanna with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
