“Jamie did an amazing job taking care of my cats, including my elderly girl who needs oral medication! She takes lots of awesome pictures and thorough updates, and treated my cats like family.”
“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!”
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.
“Andrea is amazing! We have a very high energy 14 week old yellow lab who adores Andrea. Andrea is fantastic with Emmy and provided excellent care while we went out of town.”
“Ioana is THE BEST!!! I just moved here from far away and was so nervous about leaving my babies with a stranger but Ioana eased my anxiety tremendously. She checked on them three times a day, gave them lots of love, and sent me many pictures. I seriously could not have asked for a better sitter! Will be booking her again!”
“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.”
“Angi was great with Braxton over a long weekend. Giving plenty of updates with pictures and descriptions of her drop in visits. I would recommend Angi and will ask for her assistance with watching Braxton in the future!”
“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!”
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 have been taking care of dogs since I was around 10 years old, and cats aince I was 15. I have trained, bathed, walked, and simply adored dogs for all these years! I worked with a certified trainer to train my Lucy in obedience and service tasks. I have experience taking care of puppies, seniors dogs, senior cats, and kittens. I have nursed and fostered kittens as young as three weeks to get them out of barn dumps and into loving homes. My youngest cat, Courage, is my first ever foster fail! I am not shied away by medications either, as I have plenty of experience with administering them to both cats and dogs. I currently work full-time as a special education teacher. I am available on weekdays after 4:30pm, and I'm very open on weekends. I can also accept longer bookings on weekdays that fall under school breaks! I take pet parent concerns to heart, and I follow written directions down to the letter! I am very attentive to detail and strive to make each experience a positive one. I will ensure I am doing everything possible to keep pets safe and happy in my clients' homes. I can clean up toys as needed, fill water bowls, and scoop litter boxes to maintain a neat environment.
“Travis provided exceptional help with our two cats. He met with us ahead of time and asked thoughtful questions. He was prompt, communicative and sent detailed reports and pictures. We greatly appreciated his approach, he is highly recommended.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since the age of 10. It started with just neighbors, family, friends, and has expanded to friends of friends. I have a dog of my own, a pitbull boxer mix, and have fallen in love with every dog I have ever meet. I have worked with all kinds of animals fish, snake, chinchillas, goats, cats, and dogs. I provided them with walks, food, bathes, and cleaning their habitat. I work part time serving at nights usually. I always have two days off but with having a pretty open schedule this gives me lots of time to care for your pet(s). I have lots of experience with large dogs (Cane Corsos over 100lbs) and was able to handle them with ease. I have a very high energy dog myself so I don't mind the excitement!
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: I have always had dogs at home, I dogsit for a couple families on the regular. Dogs come up to me on the street, my family and friends call me a dog whisperer. I love dogs and I am in college away from mine at home I am a student, and i do play basketball but i am free in the early mornings, afternoons, early then late evenings. With that said I would love to have time to spend with dogs and just get away from my school I can not do my home, but I am a very responsible person and I treat others home as if it were mine! I am reliable and can promise a trust worthy helper.
“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!”

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! 🥰😺
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Gahanna is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $29 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 November 2026, there are 2,607 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
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. 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.
