“Brooke did an absolutely amazing job taking care of my kitty Bella! Her photos taken during each visit reassured me that Bella was doing just fine, and her care was top notch! I will definitely be rebooking next time I go out of town and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an expert cat sitter!”

She sent plenty of pics & always made sure to ask before giving something to the pups or doing walks with them ! We will definitely book her again in the future!!!! Thanks for being such a sweet soul to our babies! 😊”

About: I have been a dog lover my entire life. I am known as the dog whisperer. It' is rumored amongst pets of the existence of a dog petter who has the most loving energy. Many dogs only believe it to be legend. It is a real live person. It is me the dog whisperer. I have experience walking, administering meds through mouth and providing exercise and treats. There is no pet to big or small. I love them all. I have a rather flexible schedule due to working online. Only times I am not available when traveling for business as host for a travel group. I care for pets to the instructions of the pet owner. I know most dogs that are properly cared for require a lot of attention and prefer to be in the company of someone. I enjoy the company and love to give quality time to dogs. Such as playing fetch tug a war or long walks.

About: Growing up around pets, I know how much we all care about these family members so I want to help you feel your most comfortable and confident that your pet will get the best care while you’re gone! I’ve dealt with medically complex pets, both long-term and short, so I am not timid about making sure animals get their necessary care while also keeping their comfort level in mind. I’m comfortable with the spectrum of personality, from lazy bones to high energy and I am looking forward to helping you out! I have a flexible schedule thanks to my contract work with local theaters, so am always available mornings and afternoons. My evening schedule fluctuates depending I offer open communication, so I can update you as much or as little as you’d like! I know that dogs not having their person can be stressful sometimes, so I want to balance that with as much stability as I can provide. My household functions on a morning/evening feeding schedule, but I know every household is different so I’m ready to learn your house’s system!

About: Animals are my entire life, and also my eventual career! Over 10 years ago I started walking my neighbors dogs and fell in love with animal care. Since then, I have gained a ton of experience by working with all sorts of animals in my high school animal labs and farms, working in a small animal vet clinic, volunteering at shelters and ICUs, pet sitting for family friends, knowledge through my animal science courses, and much more. I love all types of animals, and I truly hope to provide the best of service to your family pets! I am currently a college student, but I have a lot of free time throughout the week and the weekends to provide my services. My best availability is from Fri-Sun, however I can still fit quality care throughout most of the week Every time I let your pet go outside, I always make sure to have them on a leash to keep control of them for everyone’s safety. In fenced in areas, I am always outside with them to supervise so they have someone to play with and make sure they are keeping out of trouble. I am very flexible in pet care and will do whatever it takes to cater to their needs

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and have always been the one to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and cared for. I’m currently a proud cat mom to two cats who are quite literally my children, I truly believe pets are family and deserve all the love in the world. ❤️ My friends and family regularly trust me to look after their pets because they know how much I genuinely love animals. I even originally dreamed of becoming a veterinarian before pursuing my passion for fashion design! No matter what kind of pet you have, I’ll treat them like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and give them all the love and attention they deserve! 🐾 I work from home half of the week, which gives me extra flexibility to spend time with your pets! On weekends, I’m usually home spending time with my two cats, so I’d love to have some extra furry friends to keep me company. I’m happy to coordinate schedules and make sure your pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority! If watching a dog in my home, my cats will be put in a separate room for every pets well being! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll be sure to follow your instructions carefully. I’ll keep your home clean, make sure your pets have fresh water, food, exercise, and plenty of affection, and provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same love and respect I give my own two cats!

About: Dogs have been part of my life for nearly a decade. I grew up caring for my family dog Tootsie, who is now a senior and a three-legged sweetheart after multiple surgeries. From her puppy days to her senior care, I’ve learned patience, consistency, and how to give extra love to pups with special needs. I’ve also adopted my own dogs, Raffles and Biscuit, from a shelter and helped them transition into home life. They’re now crate-trained, socialized, and thriving. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making them feel safe, happy, and loved. I work from home, which means I have a very flexible schedule for potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. Whether your pup needs mid-day exercise, regular attention, or a cozy place to nap, I’ll be there to make sure their routine is cared for. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. Raffles and Biscuit (my pups) are well-socialized and happy to welcome new friends. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise with walks and park outings (with your approval). I’m comfortable with crates, senior care, and special routines, so your pup’s unique needs will always be respected. I treat every dog like my own, and you’ll always get updates, photos, and peace of mind while your pup is with me.

About: From the time I was old enough to ask “can we keep him” I’ve always taken care of my best friends. From walking them 3 miles to the vet (before I was old enough to drive) to daily feedings, bathing, grooming and of course, treats! While I spoil the pets, I’m always sure to give them the highest grade food and treats. I believe they deserve the best. Diet and exercise are important. A daily regiment of “fetch” is highly recommended by Duke, the black lab! I would love to take care of your best friend and ensure he/she is given the highest quality of care while keeping Duke company (Duke plays well with others.) I’ve been working from home for the last seven years. I always have time to make sure the water bowls are full and play time is given. Who says you can’t work from the patio while throwing a ball for fetch? Duke and I have a great fenced in yard for plenty of play time and potty breaks. All vegetation is harmless for pets. Grass is well groomed and “yard bombs” removed daily (or as often as required).

“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’ve been pet sitting since 2015, but I’ve had pets all my life. I truly treat every animal like family. Caring for my pitbull for 13 years and my cat for 8 years, immediately after that, I understand deep, loyal love. What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive energy. Pets feel safe, seen, and comforted in my care. I’m currently in the slow season with my company and have lots of time to dedicate to taking care of your fur babies. I have 2-4 hours of time I may have to work a day but the rest is becoming besties with your bestie. ☺️ I have a fenced in yard and no existing pets. Your fur baby will feel nice and safe like they are on vacation too with lots of love and attention.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and enjoy taking care of them along with being around them. I had two dogs growing up for the longest period of my life and miss them while I am away at college. I also had a rescued dog growing up so I am well aware of the different personalities and fears dogs might have. I am a student-athlete at Northwestern University and love being active. Watching and caring for a dog will just play into my lifestyle already. Although I live in an apartment, I can assure you that your dog will be well taken care of with multiple walks. I am blocks away from the lake front walk way in Evanston and love spending time outside. For Doggy Day care, I typically have packed morning with sport obligations so drop off time would need to be early like 6:45 or later like 10:15 depending on the day. I would love to take care of your four-legged friend.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Gahanna

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Gahanna is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,564 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Gahanna. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 .

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 , 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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gahanna. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

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 , 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.
