“Tenne and Winston, along with us truly appreciate you being available last minute!! Thank you for taking care of our pups so we could go out of town for the day today!”
“Mariah has been kind, communicative, and reliable. I’m so grateful for the help with my pets and being able to rest assured that they’re in good hands while I’m away. Highly recommend Mariah!”
“Kyra was amazing! My dog and cat really liked her. I was nervous to leave my dog with someone new, but she was great with him! We received regular updates and photos, and it was obvious they were getting lots of love and attention. I would highly recommend booking with Kyra!”
“Estefani was incredible and very responsive. I booked last minute for my cat who I had never left alone overnight, and was worried she would be upset. My cat was rude and didn’t even care that I was gone! I got pictures of her playing and cuddling and texts asking clarifying questions when necessary. Looking forward to rebooking without guilt that my cat is sad without me.”
“So grateful I found Beth! Even on short notice, she suggested a Meet & Greet to make sure she understood all instructions, where items were placed, etc. for my cats' drop-in visits. Sent Rover Cards with updates and pictures. Even my cat who is timid of new people came out from hiding during the visits. Will definitely book again!”
About: Hi!! My name is Mairead and I am a rising senior at OSU. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for the last couple of years. I have experience pet sitting all sizes, different breeds, and even multiple dogs at once. I grew up with 3 dogs in my house, with different personality types and needs. Additionally, I have experience with giving oral medications and I understand every dog has their quirks and specific needs. I am so excited to get to know your pets! <3 I am currently working part-time at a pharmacy. My schedule there changes every week so my availability mainly depends on that. If I am not at work, I am available to do multiple drop ins and walks throughout the day. I am also available for house sitting especially on a weekend! I plan to update my availability daily so that will be accurate! I love to spend time with your pets while I am sitting and like to make sure I am watching them at all times. I always take them out on a leash and do frequent potty breaks.
About: I’ve worked at a vet clinic in my hometown for the past 5 years so I have lots of animal handling and care giving experience! I’m a recent college graduate and will be attending The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine this fall! As a college student athlete, my weekly schedule is very busy so I am more available on the weekends and early mornings before class. I do not currently have pets at school, but I do love when I get to visit my two dogs back at home occasionally! I have two dogs of my own so I’m used to feeding them, taking them on walks, taking care of them, and of course giving them lots of love!
About: I have lived with and cared for both cats and dogs my entire life! Caring for animals is something I take seriously, and I always make sure they feel at home. It is my privilege to give your pets a safe, fun, and stress free experience when you can’t be with them. I balance a full time role with flexible availability to give your pets consistent, loving care during the week. I also have open availability on the weekends. I provide hands on, attentive care whether pets are in my home or theirs. I stick to their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved by giving them consistent attention, keeping their environment clean, and treating them like my own pets
“Rebecca is WONDERFUL! She took care of our two cats while we were traveling recently and she really put our minds at ease. She stopped by to meet the cats before our trip so I could go through all the things with her. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future. Thank you, Rebecca!”
“Gwen was great taking care of our kitties! Our cat Zoya is usually very scared of meeting new people, only a few rovers have earned her trust through continuous visits and work, but with Gwen Zoya was out there to greet her from day 1, we were blown away. Peace of mind. We are very happy we chose her, she has great communication (mine was terrible I apologize!) Very helpful, kind and respectful, plus she had other cute little details that were very heart-warming and let you know what kind of person she is. 100% recommended. Will definitely book again.”
“Solana did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs! We enjoyed all the pictures while we were gone and she made sure to give our pups lots of attention! We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Courteney was great at communication, arrived on time when I asked her to. And took my pup on a 1.4 mi walk and based on her pics, he had a ball! Def recommend her and will use her again”
About: I work at The Wag Dog Bar in Grandview! If your pups like other ones, let’s talk about the possibility of me bringing them for a few hours! If that makes you uncomfortable, no worries! I will still enjoy doing all other services to provide for your pup :) This position put me through a lot of training about dog behavior! I recently rescued my very own bully mix from the shelter. I am very comfortable with any and all pups! I am currently working two part time jobs so my schedules often changes! If you want to ask, please reach out and I will provide you my schedule for the whole week! My pup is like my child. I treat her with gentleness, just like I would your pup. I always have treats on hand (please let me know if your pup has any allergies!) I always go by the policy that the pup’s comfort and experience comes first!!
“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.”
“Bansi was great!! She took great care of my cat while I was gone for the weekend. She kept me up to date on how much he was eating and, when my shy guy finally wanted some attention, sent pictures of him, as well. Highly recommend and would definitely use her again!”

I’m incredibly grateful to Sherry, who accepted my last-minute drop-in request without hesitation. She was prompt, professional, and treated my Kazo with genuine kindness and affection. I highly recommend her services and will absolutely book with her again!
Callie is amazing! She came through for us with a last minute request in less than 24 hours before we needed someone. Our dogs loved her and she cared for them wonderfully! I also had a gazillion packages delivered and she brought them inside lol. She’s the best!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Grove City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Grove City. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
