About: I've always had a passion for animals and can't wait to learn everything I can about them. Ive had experience caring for large dogs for weeks at a time but I love them all big and small. Feeding, walks, play time, baths, or just hanging out id be happy to show your furry friend the love and care the need. As much as I wish I could spend all my time with pets, I do have to maintain a full time job. My job is most Monday-Friday 8-5 and I will only be available alternating Saturday. I am available most days after 6pm and every Sunday. I am unable to accommodate any animals in my home but am happy to care for your pet in their home. You will find that I am a trustworthy, reliable and friendly man and will care for your pet and home as if they were my own.
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
“Josh has went above and beyond to accommodate my very shy dog. He has went out of his way during his own lunches to make extra drop-in visits to continue to build a relationship with my boy. He has great communication skills and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for a house visit or stay. Thank you!!”
About: Hi! I’m a part-time Speech-Language Pathologist, mom to an animal-loving son (school age), and lifelong pet lover with over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets and those with complex medical needs. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, shots for diabetic dogs, monitoring pets with chronic health conditions, following detailed care routines, and recognizing when something doesn’t seem quite right. I understand how important consistency and attention to detail are, especially for pets who need a little extra care. As both a healthcare professional and pet owner, I’m dependable, patient, organized, and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, snuggles on the couch, or simply having a calm, reassuring presence, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how difficult it can be to leave your furry family members, and I’ll care for them with the same compassion and attention I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! As a part time SLP I have a flexible schedule and am available for morning, day or evening drop ins or stay overs as needed! I have photos of my family (both furry and human) but only myself will be providing care for your pets. I have 4 dogs and large fenced in yard at my home in Grove city, so cannot provide care in our home as it is already a full house! However I am happily available to come to your home and spend time with your animal in their most familiar environment. I have had 11 dogs and 3 cats over the course of my adult life and have loads of experience with special needs animals, medication administration, injectable/diabetic animal treatment, seniors, special diet, allergies, you name it! I can also help with any plant care, fish feeding/cleaning or other household management tasks as needed.
About: I’ve dog-sat (and house-sat) for friends for a while, and nothing brings me more joy than seeing happy dogs! I love taking them for long walks or runs, spending the day playing with them, and of course giving them plenty of hugs and pets! ❤️🐶 I’m currently working full-time, so during the week I’m available to go on short walks during lunch and make sure your dog is fed and can use the bathroom. I can spend time with them in the evenings as well, and I’m also available for house sitting to keep them company while you’re away! I don’t have any pets of my own at home, but I’ve had plenty of experience caring for pets of friends and family members. I like taking them for walks through neighborhoods or parks where they can meet other dogs or people and see new places!
About: I have taken care of a Chihuahua and a golden retriever for years. the Chihuahua for 4 years and the golden retriever for 3 years. I am available for pet services in mix with my school schedule since I am a full time college student. I have free time usually in the evenings and would love to spend it with lovely fur babies. I prefer taking care of pets In the owners home, I live on campus housing so while there is quite a lot of opportunity for outside space and time I do not have a fenced off area. in the owners home I stick to their schedule if provided for feedings, bathroom breaks, etc. My space is smoke-free.
“Lauren was terrific with my two cats. She helped us out on short notice, even doing a drop in visit on the day she was moving out of town. She communicated quickly and sent great photos and updates. Highly recommend!”
“Zack was amazing with my cat! This was my first time using Rover, and he went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable with the process. He was extremely communicative while I was away and kept me informed about everything going on with Phileas. The daily photos were such a bonus and really put my mind at ease.”
About: I work from home and have great flexibility to accommodate your schedule. I recently had to say goodbye to my dog of 11 years and miss his company. Caring for your pet(s) is how I hope to fill this void. While I don't have a fenced yard, my deck backs to the Hilliard soccer/baseball fields and live to walk pets through the park. I've raised 3 great kids and play pickleball as much as I can. I'm a responsible woman and could even help with household tasks! Thank you for your consideration! My schedule is mine to control. I work from home and have great flexibility! I use to walk my dog 3 times a day and enjoy the exercise! I feel giving pets/cuddles to our furry friends is reciprocal. We need it as much as they do! I have been to my daughter's house for my fido fix daily since I had to say goodbye to my dog. She had a golden and a boxer/pit mix and seeing them makes my heart happy.

Megan & Matthew have made daily visits to my senior little dog Cashew Mon-Fri for over a year and a half. Especially as Cashew’s health is worsening, I know he’s in the best hands with them checking in on him during my long shifts. Caring, trustworthy, dependable, amazing communication and observations that have helped during his health problems - and adorable photo updates!!! - they deserve 10000+ stars. They are the best of the best and I’m so grateful they are part of our lives. 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐶🙏
Cameron is absolutely wonderful. She handled check-ins with my 6 month old puppy, 3 year old doggy, and 1 year old cat with ease! She is very welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable about your pets. My animals attached and loved her immediately, and both my Fiancé and I grew fond of her quickly as well. She leaves everything in pristine condition and is overall wonderful. If you’re looking for someone to take care of your babies for a bit, Cameron is your girl!! As a fear free certified Veterinary Assistant, I can say this is definitely someone I trust with my animals, and we will only use her services unless unavailable from now on. Big thanks to Cameron from Maui, Ollie, and Winter!!🐾🐾🐾

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Galloway is $23 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $24 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.

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 Galloway 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.

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.
