About: I've worked with, loved, and cared for all types of animals my entire life. I have many years of experience sitting for and walking dogs. I can't wait to care for or walk your pet! I work remotely from home and am available 7 days a week. I can work remotely from the clients’ home when house sitting as well. I live in a house with a fenced in backyard. I have no pets of my own and my home is a safe and smoke free place.
“Emma was amazing and she did very well with my Rotten Rottie 😍. She was very communicative and I feel very comfortable knowing she is taking care of my love bug”
“Caitlyn did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away. She was very kind with her, and left detailed updates and pictures each day. I would definitely book her again!”
“Allie is great with our lab! She is quick to respond and send details back to us (with the cutest pictures, too 😊). Very grateful to have her to help take care of him!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I can remember! I’ve taken several classes on puppy training through Pilot Dogs at OSU, lived with up to four pets at once, and have experience pet sitting through family friends and neighbors! I have also worked at veterinary clinics and animal welfare positions that have given me experience in animal behavior, health emergencies, and necessary restraint for nail clippings, medication administration, and bathing. I’m a full time student at Ohio State, majoring in Zoology with a minor in Animal Science! Entering my last year of school is such an exciting experience for me, but I find myself with a lot of downtime so I’d love to use it to make others’ lives easier! I currently just permanently moved to Columbus, and have a little kitty cat of my own living with me! His name is Mocha, and he’s about a year old now! I take care of him every day through feeding him, picking up his litter, and playing with him when he gets the zoomies!
About: I've been around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up, my family owned a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier and a Goldendoodle. As our Wheaten Terrier entered her senior years, I helped care for her and became familiar with the extra patience, attention, and support that older dogs often need. I'm comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I've also cared for my roommate's cats for weeks at a time while she traveled, treating them as if they were my own. As a responsible and attentive pet lover, I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. As a school counselor, I have summers off and a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate extra time and attention to caring for your pets. I truly enjoy spending my free time with animals and providing dependable, loving care so you can feel confident your furry family members are in good hands while you're away. I’m available on weekdays and weekends! Reach out to me and we’ll set something up :) I provide pet care directly in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I make sure they are well fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention, affection, and playtime while you’re away. I’m also attentive to details like medication schedules, potty breaks, and any special instructions to ensure your pets are safe, happy, and cared for just the way you would. Please tell me all the random and goofy things that are essential to your pet’s routine!
“Great communication and took excellent care of my cat, and made sure to update me with lots of pictures. She helped me relax knowing my baby was being well taken care of.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for most of my life, helping family, neighbors, and friends. My family dog growing up was my whole world, and now so is my dog Lu. Lu and I work very diligently on training and spend some time every day working on something. I am passionate about learning about dog behavior and dog training, and it’s been amazing watching Lu learn with me. I work from home full-time; some days I leave once for 1-3 hours. Your pet will have consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day, and I have no trouble sticking to their routine for feeding, walks, potty breaks, and naps. It is also my pride and joy to give as much love and attention as humanly possible! I live in a clean, cozy, one-bedroom apartment on the second floor--I do not have a yard, but am always available for walks, trips to dog parks, or time on the field right next door. I also live right next to the Olentangy trail. My coonhound mix, Lu, is sweet and cuddly and loves to play, but is adept at reading other dogs' cues regarding play and backs off if your pet isn't feeling it.
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: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, from guinea pigs to large dogs. I am an animal lover and have experience from young puppies to senior kitties. I am a grad student and have flexibility during my week to check on your animals! I am also flexible by location, since I can work from home I have a lot of hands on experience with animals and follow instructions very well! I have a lot of experience dog and cat sitting and can be attuned to your pet’s individual needs
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats throughout my neighborhood since I was 12. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to feed, walk, stay with and sometimes bathe their pets. I also have been fostering dogs through Gigis since 2020. It has been such a pleasure to be able to support shelter dogs and watch them find their forever families. I am currently very available when it comes to days and times. I work part time, but my schedule changes frequently. Can be very flexible! I have lots of experience with dogs whether that be walking, playing with them or even crating them if needed. I can handle all sorts of breeds and have experience with cats as well.
“Jacque did great checking in on our dog while we were away. Our dog takes some time to warm up to most people, but she loved Jacque from the start! Jacque was on time to all of the check ins and did exactly what we asked her to do to take care of our dog. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was in great hands. Thanks again Jacque!!”
About: I have been dogsitting for +8 years for friends, family members and dear Rover clients. You will read from some testimonials that I can be trustworthy with their pet(s), so much so that they have referred me to other friends and families. I work full-time near downtown 10-6 on Tuesdays-Fridays and from home Mondays, however there is flexibility throughout the week. I have evenings and weekends generally open to care for your pet with my full attention! I usually care for pets in the comfort of their home! At this time, I, unfortunately, cannot host pets in my home - though this may change at a later time.
“Juli was amazing with my pup, Sunny! Sunny is very timid and shy, and Juli was really patient with her. Sunny was even asking for belly rubs by the end of their first visit! I couldn’t recommend Juli enough, I will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Kaylee was great with Sailor, she let us know how was she was doing everyday and Sailor loved her. Would definitely recommend her and will be booking with her in the future. Thank you”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I make it a priority to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. I’m dependable and organized, and I take commitments seriously. I’ll make sure your pet’s care is a priority and that they receive the time and attention they deserve. I know pets are most comfortable when their routine stays consistent, so I’ll take the time to learn their preferences, habits, and any special instructions before you leave. I’m also happy to send regular photo and text updates so you know how your pet is doing
About: I have been a vet assistant, I’ve worked with horses, cats, dogs, birds, lizards, and snakes. I always go the extra mile and believe that pets deserve the very best. I was a vet assistant and specialized in “difficult “ pets. I will go at your pets speed, whatever helps them be more comfortable. If your pet needs more time to adjust, I will give them that. I take care of your babies as if they were mine, I will give them love and attention with boundaries. I specialize in difficult cases. If your pet needs a little extra time and attention that’s no problem.

Emma has been someone that me and my dogs can count on to help us out through very trying times. My mother recently passed away and I had to make a 16 hour round trip in 2 days to attend her funeral. My first thought was “who is going to watch the dogs?!” Emma was available and more than willing to help us out. It is such a great relief when you are hours away from home but know that your house and your dogs are safe in Emma’s hands. Will book again and again 🖤
Alex so awesome. I would highly recommend her to watch your precious angels. She made everything so easy. She was very patient with my huge scared and shy newfoundland Buckley. My other 2 dogs Harpo and Jax fell in love with her very quickly. Alex and i messaged back and forth and i gave her some ideas to get Buckley to warm up to her. She was very thankful for the ideas and Buckley warmed up to her after only a couple visits. I didn't have to worry while on vacation because she was very communicative. I felt like they were in such good hands. Would definitely recommend her and will definitely be using her again!
This was our second time using Julia, and we had another great experience! She is reliable, follows our dog’s routine closely, and makes it easy for us to feel comfortable knowing he’s well cared for while we’re away. We’ll definitely continue using her!
Sadie-Jean took great care of our golden retriever Beau while we were gone for the day! She always goes above and beyond, and we never have to worry about Beau while we are gone when she is watching him! We have booked with her in the past and will continue to book with her in the future! Thank you so much Sadie-Jean!!
Camryn was an amazing help to our family this summer. She did daily visits with my dog while I was at work, was always there right on time, sent multiple pictures, and made sure my dog had lots of fun and exercise. I’d recommend to anyone looking for help with their furry friend.

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 Grandview Heights 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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
