About: Hi! I have had animals all my life, from hamsters and fish to cats and dogs, I am an animal lover. If I was better at science I would have been a vet, but instead I just want to help you out and play, walk, or babysit your fur baby. I live near plenty of walkable places and would love a fluffy companion to walk with. I have had small to massive dogs in my home since age 5 so all sizes are welcome. I also love and have had cats and would be so happy to keep a kitty company as well. I am a remote worker and therefore working from home gives me a lot of freedom. Most of the time when I don’t travel you will find me laying by the pool on my computer or going for a walk on a call. I will have plenty of time to do so with a furry friend too. I care about your pets safety because I care about animals, so any specific requests can be accommodated if need be! I work remotely so I am able to spend quality time with your pet and be not only physically present but also offer a lot of undivided attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and protect them just the same. Every pet deserves love and attention that makes them feel safe and comfortable.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have years of experience caring for dogs and cats for family and friends. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and following each pet’s individual routine. I know every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable — whether that means lots of play and attention or giving a shy pet time to warm up to me. I’m very attentive to instructions and will treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give my own. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates during visits so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing! I have a flexible weekly schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly so my availability is always as accurate as possible. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever I can, and I’ll always communicate clearly about scheduling. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’ll follow their normal routine and your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any household rules. I’m careful about keeping doors, gates, and leashes secure, and I’ll always supervise your pet appropriately. I also understand how important it is to trust someone in your home. I’ll treat your space with respect, clean up after your pet, and make sure everything is left the way I found it. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away.

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.

“Heather checked in on my kitties over my 4 day vacation and I could not be happier with how she took care of them. She was great with communication throughout and shared great photos/overview of each visit. Her experience with animals definitely shows in her interactions with pets and I feel truly at ease knowing my kitties are in great hands with her. :)”

About: Animal lover since birth, caregiver for about 10 years. I love to spend time with animals! I have 2 dogs currently who I love so much. Your pets will be in good hands and I will treat them as if they were my own. Currently: I have open availability. I have a super flexible schedule and can accommodate for last minute changes. Please let me know at least 1 day ahead of time if there are any major changes. I have 2 adorable puppies who I adore with all my heart. We have a fenced in yard big enough for both, and we love to go for daily walks. For my senior dogs, I make him homecooked with kibble meals due to dietary restrictions. Every pet parent knows what works for their pets best, and I hope to uphold that. I believe all animals are special and I hope the care for my own pets can reflect in the care I will provide for your animals. 🫶

About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2015, but I’ve had pets all my life. I truly treat every animal like family. Caring for my pitbull for 13 years and my cat for 8 years, immediately after that, I understand deep, loyal love. What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive energy. Pets feel safe, seen, and comforted in my care. I’m currently in the slow season with my company and have lots of time to dedicate to taking care of your fur babies. I have 2-4 hours of time I may have to work a day but the rest is becoming besties with your bestie. ☺️ I have a fenced in yard and no existing pets. Your fur baby will feel nice and safe like they are on vacation too with lots of love and attention.

About: I looove dogs. I have had up to 4 dogs at a time with every age from 4 months to 14 years. I have housebroken puppies and helped older dogs walk with a harness. I am quick to recognize issues and can determine how serious they are based on my years of experience. I have helped save countless lives volunteering to transport and keep dogs overnight at my house. I am currently a volunteer for the Cause for Canines rescue, helping match dogs looking for homes with families looking for dogs. I am not currently working and have others in my household to watch my dog while I am away. I can easily make your pet a priority base on how often they need to be let out, walked, cuddled, etc. I will not bring my dog to your home. I am comfortable and familiar with crating dogs when away from the home for their safety. They always have access to water and toys with supervision, but once the toys are destroyed I take them away to prevent obstructions. Daily walks of at least 30 minutes are a must. Cat care varies based on the needs of the cat. Some can be free fed, some require meal times. Litter boxes would be cleaned daily. I prefer to keep them indoors for their safety.

About: I’m an animal lover that wants to give your pet the best vacation experience possible! I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in capable hands. I have experience taking care of my own dog for 10 years. I also have great knowledge of how to handle a variety of problems with various pets, and will adhere to each and every one of their personal needs. I’m comfortable with administering any medication or taking any special care for an individual pet’s needs. Making your pet feel comfortable and happy when away from you is my top priority. Please feel free to contact me with any questions! I currently work from home and make my own hours, so I’m very flexible and can give your pet round-the-clock care whenever and however they need it. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly pup of my own that gets daily walks and enrichment toys. I’m able to adhere to a dog’s normal routine in their own home to keep stress to a minimum while their owner is away.

About: I grew up with dogs from a very young age and have two dogs of my own. I have experience taking care of senior dogs, administering medication, and creating a comfortable environment for each pet based on their individual needs. I work pretty standard hours during the day with some opportunities for flexibility, so if you have odd hours or are running late, I'm more than happy to run over and take care of your pets needs! While I don't offer pets to stay in my apartment, I take care to assess each pets specific needs in their environment and find ways to address those needs. I have had several thorough background checks as part of my job and will be sure to respect and secure your space upon arrival and departure.

“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!”

Feeding, walks, play time, baths, or just hanging out id be happy to show your furry friend the love and care the need.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was very young, frequently helping neighbors and friends as well as daily caring for my own. In all the work I do, I’m very detail oriented and perceptive; pets are important parts of families, and the way that you desire for your pet to be cared for is very important to me! I will seek to serve your family to the best of my ability. I am currently employed with a local ministry part time that allows much flexibility in my schedule. I will soon be pursuing a Masters in Social Work this fall, but have plenty of time this summer to help out with your pups! I love being outside and going on long walks!! There are several dog parks near my home as well as plenty of open green space. I know plenty of walking paths that I think your dogs would love!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Grove City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Grove City on Rover is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $27 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 2,529 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Grove City. 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.

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 Grove City 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.

To find sitters in Grove City with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.

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.
