About: Hi! My name is Eric and I’m a personal trainer here in Columbus. I’ve always loved cats and dogs, and have had my dog Ayla for almost 7 years now. I have always been my friends’ go to person for watching cats and dogs, and I’m always super excited to get to spend time with them. I value their lives as highly as I would my own dog’s, and promise to take the absolute best care of your furry little family members! I’m currently working on building up my clientele at a new gym, so my schedule is very open. But even as I start with clients I will still have plenty of time to take care of your pet(s)! I should be able to accommodate almost any request you have, whether it’s scheduling related or some kind of peculiarity with your pet. Whatever it is, let’s talk about it and I will do my best to accommodate!
“Leann was great with a special request for my indoor/outdoor cat and was super timely with her questions and keeping me updated! I booked with her immediately after her first visit for another weekend. Highly recommend!”
“Its always delightful to have Abby check in on my pup when I’m out of town. She is extremely proactive and great about communication, and I trust her wholeheartedly with my senior dog while I’m away!”
“Anna was great with my cats. She was really responsive when booking and took lots of notes when we went through the care plan. She even got my skiddish cat to come out by then end of her time with them, which is huge because he doesn’t like strangers. Will happily book again.”
“Emma was wonderful! Easy to communicate with and prompt for each visit. Our dog loved having her come by to let him out and hang with him! Would absolutely book again!”
“Taylor was prompt in her replies, even when I did a last minute booking! She was great with the kiddos, they were taken care of very well. My dog Vali got nice walks and lots of pets. Taco, my cat definitely appreciated the timely meals 😆, churu treats ☺️ and play time. Definitely will continue with her for future bookings.”
About: My parents had always had at least 2 different pets in our household growing up! It helped me learn responsibility, patience and care of all types of animals. There are several families/ individuals I’ve worked with since I was a teen. I’m up for all types of energy and maintenance levels! I’m currently working part-time and my working hours are usually in the evening. I will have plenty of time to play/walk pets during my day. My schedule is very flexible, I’m willing to make it work with your schedule. I would not be able to house pets at my home, I live with a cat and roommates. I’ve always gone and stayed at the pet owners place. I find it easier for the pets as well. I can take them out for the day as well!
“Vanessa was fantastic at taking care of my two cats over a period of 10 days. She was very punctual, communicative and attentive, I will for sure trust her with my kitties in a future outing. Thanks Vanessa!”
“Emma was amazing with my cat, Toast! She was communicative, reliable, and even stayed extra some nights to give him more cuddles and attention. I felt completely comfortable trusting her with my home and pet, and I'd definitely recommend her to others.”
“Thea did an amazing job with my two cats! She was very thorough, gave great updates, and gave me lots of peace of mind while away. I highly recommend her!”
“Ioana was an awesome sitter for our cat! She was very professional when we met her. She did a great job keeping us up to date while we were away. We came home to a very happy, well taken care of cat. We would gladly book her again!”
“Maggie took wonderful care of my girl Samantha. She spend a lot of extra time with her and gave her lots of cuddles ! Also took time to go above and beyond and clean the litter box. Would highly recommend her to care for any of your furry loved ones !”
“Rachel was so great with my kitten and I know he was happy to see her. She helped me out with a last minute request after I had a cancellation and followed everything I asked for perfectly.”
“Kelly was super responsive when I had to cancel a day last minute and thankfully fed the stray that’s been on our porch! Will use her again! Thankful to her for sure!”
“Elizabeth was super reliable with twice-a-day visits, and so loving with Oliver! He loved her from the moment they met, and she executed all of his needs (food, vitamins/meds, treats, potty breaks -- everything!) with total ease. She took a picture each time, and reported any concerns right away. Elizabeth truly went above and beyond. I could not recommend her more highly!”
“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!”
About: Hi! I am a Licensed Profession Clinical Counselor and work for a non-profit agency working with foster care kids. I have a MA degree in Psychology and have been told I have a "calming" affect on pets and people. References of course available both professional and personal. I myself use Rover for my pets and I feel more comfortable with adults vs. younger workers in my home while I am away. That is why I joined to bless other families that want an older adult in their home. I work during the day but can set my own schedule and I live in the Grandview Heights area. I am flexible with dates and times so please reach out with questions. I offer boarding in my condo for one pet and house sitting as well. I will be able to stay overnight but will be need to leave for a few hours everyday for my work. I will be home every evening and not need to leave until or 1pm or 2pm everyday. Flexible schedule . I make my own schedule and will work around the needs of your pets. I can drop by for visits as well I do offer care in my home but will stay in your home and be clean and tidy and send as many videos and pictures as you request.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Grandview Heights is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Grandview Heights
Gwen took fantastic care of our cat when we were away for a two-week long trip. I am always nervous about leaving my pet for so long, but with Gwen’s help I knew he was not only being cared for, but nurtured as well. Gwen came over every day to make sure Rue had company, and I am grateful I got to enjoy my trip knowing he was well looked after. Gwen is friendly, has great communication, and sends photos every day. She even left a very thoughtful gift at the end of her last visit. I would/will 1000% book with Gwen again, and you should too!!
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 🖤
Elizabeth was wonderful, she was able to help me last minute and took such good care of my two cats! She gave thorough updates, answered any questions I had about the cats while I was gone, and both cats seemed relaxed when I got back. I would definitely recommend her services!
Rebecca is a gem !! She warmed up to our cat Mitzi right away and I could tell that Mitzi felt comfortable and at ease with her. She is competent, reliable and my husband and I trusted that she would give our cat the best care while we were on our vacation. We could relax knowing that Mitzi was in good hands !! I would highly recommend her as an excellent pet sitter !!😻
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!
Alyssa did a wonderful job checking in on our two kitties during a long weekend break. She made sure they had food, water, and playtime. Even our skittish cat, who usually hides around strangers, stayed out and let her pet and interact with him. We were amazed! 10/10 would recommend.

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.

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.
