So dependable! Thank you a million times over! It was so endearing to see Charli take so quickly to Kirsten. You can clearly tell she is a dog person. It was a relief to know she was in good hands.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

About: One thing that makes me stand out as a good dog sitter is that I always have put the needs of animals ahead of my own. I raised a beautiful golden who had many sicknesses, most relating to her allergies. She had anxiety, and many ear infections, feet infections, an eye infection and once , she got a blood clot in her ear which was very painful and required a lot of meds and TLC. I have an excellent veterinarian who gave us the best care. She got a walk on most days, excluding severe weather days. She got regular brushing, nail clippings, etc. She loved to play with balls and she loved pepperonis her whole life. I have raised several puppies and cared for several senior dogs and just being around animals especially dogs makes me happy. I am a teacher currently and I have evenings, weekends and breaks during the school year and during the summer I have time during the day for the month of June and my schedule frees up starting July and August. I have a fenced in backyard, no animals currently. I have a wonderful place to walk dogs and care for their needs. I love walking .

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.

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!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Gahanna

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Gahanna on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,736 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gahanna. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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 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.

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

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
