“JoVonna is so great! I’ve rebooked her several times — I travel frequently and sometimes last minute. Really appreciate of her availability and she’s very patient with my shy little bebe and I know she’ll be well taken care of with her.”
“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!”
“Professional. Confident. Reassuring. Reliable. My pups have some quirks and are BIG which can be intimidating. She completed a VERY last minute meet and greet which helps calm our nerves. She provided report cards and pictures. We will definitely use her again!”
“We just love Ms. Pat. We hire her several times a month for many different services. Highly recommend her. I trust her wholeheartedly with my babies (dogs) and my home”
“Eva is amazing and takes careful care in meeting you and your dogs needs on her visits. I had her look after the dogs off and on for 3 days and she was on time and took care of them with ease. Very communicative and responsive. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Asiah is amazing with our sweet cat Truffles. We have been working with Asiah for a little over a year now and will continue to book with Asiah. Truly goes above and beyond to give us peace of mind while we are away on vacation. So happy to have someone as reliable and trustworthy as Asiah caring for our cat and checking on our house.”
“Natalia was professional and timely with our pups! We came home to 2 happy well taken care of dogs. We would have no problem recommending Natalia and will definitely use her services in the future without hestiation”
“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.”
“Regan has been a life saver with our two girls. She is thorough in her reports and wonderful to our kitties. Will miss her greatly when we move out of the country. Can we take her with us?!”
“Grace is the best! Our cat can be quite difficult and she was amazing with him! She took great care of him and I was never worried about him during our trip like I usually am. We will definitely hire 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.
“Erica was amazing! I have a high needs cat and Erica took the time to meet and learn how to take care of him ahead of time. Highly recommend and I’ll certainly be a repeat client.”
“Danielle was great - I felt confident my cats were in good care. Danielle is really easy going and goes above and beyond. We also had to make last minute changes to our schedule and Danielle helped with that!”
About: I’ve had all kinds of animals growing up, so i’m very use to the care and attention big and small animals will need. I’ve independently taken care of small and big dogs over live periods of time. I am a previous cat foster. Overall I love animals and miss being able to have my own (due to new rooming situations). I am active, patient, and am always safe with animals. I am currently working part time, and in school :) My mornings until around 3 pm are full. But i would love to make afternoon visits to play and hangout with all furry friends. I am good at taking directions and paying attention to the temperament of animals. I would never do something unnatural/ feed something not instructed by the owner. I have worked some in dog training and understand all animals have different training levels which I am happy to learn more about :). I will always be respectful of an owners instructions.
“My kitties had great visits with Merri! I contacted her with very short notice but everything worked out smoothly and wonderfully. I will definitely contact her again in the future and recommend her to anyone with four-footers - both cats (I have four) and dogs!”
About: Personally have had 2 animals of my own and have taken care of others in the past. Animals have always bee n a passion of mine! I am very flexible. I work Monday-Friday from 9-3. Short days which would give me plenty of time to spend with your furry friend! I will have plenty of time to make sure they get all of their energy out! I make sure the pets are given all of the love and support they are needed to be happy in an unfamiliar environment. If they have a routine that you would like them to stick to I will do my best to make sure we continue to follow that routine!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gahanna
Deanna was amazing with our puppy, Mocha! Drop-ins and a walk made for a great day for our puppy! She sent photos, videos, and communicated updates with me. It was very assuring to see our puppy well cared for. I highly recommend her to care for your pet and will be booking again!
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!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- 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.
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 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 Meet & Greet .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
