“Denise did a great job. She had great communication and sent us lots of pictures of our dogs. I feel very comfortable having her in my house. She was very accommodating to my last minute request. We'll definitely use her again. Thanks so much!”
“Chad was amazing! Booked with him last second after our original sitter canceled. Never used Rover so I was definitely hesitant, but couldn’t have lucked out with anyone better than Chad. He was early for every appointment and gave both our dogs nothing but TLC the entire visit. My wife would look on the cameras and our female loved Chad, they just played constantly. Our grumpy, old male seemed to enjoy his visits, which was a huge relief. I couldn’t recommend Chad enough, he’s extremely professional, diligent, and made us feel at ease during a stressful time.”
About: I’ve spent a lot of time caring for dogs, including dog sitting for friends for extended periods: daily walks, feeding, and being a steady, consistent presence while their person is away. I had two large dogs for many years, a pit lab mix and an English mastiff, and that experience made me very comfortable with size, strength, and different personalities. I’m used to reading behavior, adjusting to different energy levels, and creating a routine so dogs feel settled. I grew up around animals, so paying attention to routines, safety, and small changes in behavior comes naturally to me. My focus is being reliable and tuned in when I’m caring for someone else’s pet. I do best with clear communication and consistent routines so your pet has a smooth, low stress experience. I’m comfortable with: • Large dogs and strong pullers • High energy dogs that need real exercise • Older dogs that want a slower pace • Sticking closely to feeding, walking, and medication routines I work from home, which allows me to be consistent and flexible for walks, drop ins, and feedings throughout the week. I’m generally available mornings, midday, and evenings, and I can adjust timing to match your pet’s routine as closely as possible. If your dog is staying with me, they’ll get regular attention throughout the day, along with outdoor time in my fenced yard and a calm, steady environment. I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I can show up on time and give each pet my full attention. At my home, dogs have access to a large, fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time and a quiet indoor space to relax. I don’t have other pets, which allows for a more controlled and predictable environment. My 13 yo is with me part-time and is responsible and gentle with pets, helping keep dogs comfortable and engaged when she is home. I’m very attentive to safety on walks and during visits. I keep a close eye on leash security, surroundings, and any changes in behavior, and I adjust based on what the dog needs in the moment. I follow instructions closely and stick to the routine your dog is used to, including feeding, walks, and any specific care details. I’m comfortable working with clear directions and prefer to know what works best for your pet ahead of time. I’m selective about taking on dogs and situations that feel like a good fit, so I can provide safe, focused care and avoid unnecessary stress for your pet. I’ll also keep you updated so you know how things are going while you’re away.
About: My favorite time to do walks are from 9am to 4pm and weekends. I walk in rain or shine. I’d love to do a meet and greet for long term walks or drop ins. I’m a lifelong animal lover and owner with 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, and I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. ❤️ Whether your pup needs a good walk, your cat needs some company while you’re away, or your pet needs a comfortable place to stay, I’m here to provide dependable, loving care. 🐶 Dog Walking: Safe, enjoyable walks tailored to your dog’s energy and needs. 🏡 In-Home Boarding: A comfortable, loving home environment where your pet can feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. 🐾 Drop-In Visits: I’ll stop by to check on your pets, give them attention and playtime, provide fresh food and water, and make sure they’re doing well. 🐱 Cat Care: I’m happy to care for your cats by feeding them, refreshing their water, cleaning up after them, changing litter, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I understand that leaving your pets with someone else requires trust. My goal is to give you peace of mind while giving your pets the attention, consistency, and affection they deserve. I’d love the opportunity to become your pet’s trusted sitter, walker, and second home. 🐾❤️ 15 years of experience. Lots of love. One happy pet at a time. I am home full time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available for pet care throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding, litter care, and plenty of quality time with your pets while you’re away. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as comfortable and familiar as possible. I follow your instructions closely, provide plenty of love and attention, and make sure they have fresh food, water, clean spaces, and anything else they need. I also respect your home as if it were my own, leaving everything clean, secure, and just as I found it. I provide a comfortable, home-like environment where dogs can feel safe, loved, and included. I have four cats, so dogs staying with me may be around other animals, and they’ll also have access to small children in the home. My home has a fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor time, plus plenty of opportunities for walks and fresh air. For pups who enjoy an adventure, I’m also happy to include supervised car rides and outings when appropriate.
“Super sweet and very communicative! Andrea made sure Blue was comfy with her around before taking her out and that greatly helped my dog be excited and okay with someone else other than me taking care of her. Was a breath of fresh air knowing I did not have to worry about Blue while I was away. Thank you!”
“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”
About: House with a large fenced in back yard. 2 dogs and a cat in the house that are good with other dogs. Have experience with giving any sort of meds your dog may require. I currently work full time in office but am home by 3 every day. Dogs can be taken on multiple walks around the neighborhood each day or they can enjoy the fenced in backyard. I have a large fenced in yard and also live in a neighborhood that is great for going on long walks. Dogs are allowed on bed and furniture.
“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!”
“It was our first visit from Christi and she was great with our dog. We received pictures and updates which made us feel comfortable that our dog was being well taken care of during the visit!”
“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.
“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.”
“Taylor is great with our dog and she communicates so well from the time of booking to post visits. She also has been available last minute when we desperately needed help. Highly recommended Taylor!”
“Great sitter for our cat Harley. Felt like she knew Harley after just the meet and greet. Regan took special care to make Harley feel comfortable with her and brought his food to him when he was feeling anxious about her arrival on the first day. Will be rebooking Regan if we need another sitter.”
“With having a skittish cat, Kelly goes above and beyond to make my kitty feel comfortable. Luna does not run and hide and actually hangs out- indicating Kelly’s patience and devotion to making pets feel safe and comfortable. I will always try to book Kelly and suggest you all do the same!”
About: Hi! I’m Tiffany. I’ve loved dogs my whole life and grew up caring for them. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I treat every dog like my own. I’d love the opportunity to help care for your pup! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m not working a traditional 9–5 at the moment, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize walks, visits, and quality time based on each pet’s needs. I enjoy building pet care into my day and making sure every dog gets the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. I prioritize safety, supervision, and routines, provide calm secure environments, respect clients’ homes, and communicate regularly so pets feel comfortable, cared for, and owners feel confident.
“Darren looked after my boy, Jiro, while I was out of town. Jiro is a young, male, chocolate lab, and many of you know what that means; it takes effort and concentration to look after him. Darren and Jiro get along great! I even got to have a visit with them over my security camera, and saw what a great time they were having! I,and Jiro, hope to have Darren back again someday.”
About: I know it can be difficult to have people in your home but it is important to keep your pet in their family setting and I am trustworthy. I am available mostly for weekends and long weekends, I can adjust my schedule as I need to. My husband works weekends so I generally have extra time and I like to keep busy. Dogs are joyful. I play with them on the floor or fetching toys. I don’t mind kisses but each dog is different We can sit and watch tv or listen to music, animals find me very cuddly.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gahanna
Rachel is outstanding. My only hesitation of putting this review out there is she may not be available when I need her 😆. Our cat is extremely hesitant and does not trust easily. She was patient and kind and by the end of the two weeks he was letting her scratch his head. Her daily comments let us know that she was paying attention to his needs, which helped us relax in our two week vacation, and upon our return, his food, dish and water container were clean and well taken care of. She is absolutely priceless.❤️
Fabulous experience working with Jamie! She took such great care of our cats while we were away! Daily pictures & updates with thorough notes of what was completed and how the cats were doing! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect pet sitter!! Highly recommend Jamie! 🥰😺
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!
Natalia was such an amazing and experienced cat sitter! Our first time using Rover and we really lucked out with her. Our kitty warmed up to her immediately and it was clear Natalia had a warm and caring presence. She was very prompt on her visits and sending photo updates. Everything went perfectly thanks to her. Will be booking again!! 💕🫶💕
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!
Adriana was so wonderful to work with! She cared for our 2 cats while we were away and showed a huge appreciation and understanding for cat care and needs, which can be rare. She went above and beyond taking care of the home while we were away as well. Will definitely book again! Thanks so much Adriana!!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Gahanna is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 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.

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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gahanna. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% can help with daily exercise

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.
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.
