About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats since I was a child. I have helped my girlfriend train our current dog which is a bernedoodle. He knows how to sit, shake, go to his pillow, and he is currently learning to roll over. I currently have a Doberman at my parents house that I help take care of while I am home. I am currently a dental student at Ohio state and I am in school from 7:30-4:00 daily but the weekends I am free. Some days I will finish before 4:00 but that depends on the week. I feed and water my current dogs and cats every morning and every evening. They get treats throughout the day when they exhibit good behavior and listening skills so they know that is a positive thing to keep doing it.

“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: I’ve had dogs my entire life, as well as 2 cats! I’ve watched and owned both very small dogs about 10 pounds, as well as 110 pound dogs. I love to go on walks, so I’ll make sure your dogs walk a nice far distance! I will play with your pets, feed them, walk them, let them out as often as needed, clean their litter box, and make sure they’re feeling loved. I truly love animals and I am grateful for the opportunity to spend time with them. I can also provide whatever special care your pet may need. I promise your pets will be in good hands! I work 9-5 during the week, so I am available for drop ins before 9 and after 5, as well as all day on Fridays (I work remote on Friday) and all day on the weekends. I have reliable transportation and I am incredibly responsible. I am available for overnight care as well throughout the entire week. I have had dogs and cats my entire life, but I do not currently have any of my own as a young adult. I love animals and miss my own family pets dearly, so this is a nice way to be around animals while helping take care of them! I am capable of providing whatever care for your pet that you might need!

About: Hi, I’m Nina! I’ve been working in the pet industry for over 7 years, and caring for animals is truly second nature to me. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of pets with different personalities, needs, and medical requirements, and I always aim to provide calm, reliable, and attentive care. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care routines, including pets with special health needs. I also have experience caring for anxious pets and understand how important patience, consistency, and a calm environment are in helping them feel safe and secure. Whether I’m doing walks, drop-in visits, or in-home care, I treat every pet like my own and focus on making their time away from you as stress-free and comforting as possible. I also provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your pets! I am available every day and can offer twice a day drop ins providing enough time for meals, medications (if needed), potty breaks and playtimes! You can expect reliability, respect for your home, and consistent updates so you always feel confident while you’re away. I will make sure your pet is safe and happy!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, and other pets since I was 9 years old, and my love for animals has only grown stronger over the years. I also have experience working at a pet hotel, which helped me develop even more skills in pet care and handling. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to work around your availability. Just send me a message with the days you need care for your pet, and we can go over the next steps together! 😊 I organize my week around the pets I’m caring for and always prioritize the needs and preferences of their owners. I also like to learn each pet’s daily routine so I can follow it as closely as possible this helps ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and at home while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own giving them lots of love, attention, and comfort. They’re with me throughout the day, and most even sleep by my side at night. I do everything I can to make them feel safe, happy, and right at home. 😊

“Paige is wonderful! She has looked after my cat for years now and always does a great job. She somehow gets my very shy cat to want to come out from under the bed, which is a feat in itself. She is very communicative, reliable, and has always treated my home with respect. Highly recommend!!”

“Samantha did a great job checking in on our cat, Louie. On a previous vacation, he came to a cat with a UTI because the person we hired (not through Rover.com) did not clean his box properly. Samantha kept us up to date on how Louie was doing and kept his boxes clean. We came home from vacation to a happy and healthy cat. I will definitely use Samantha again!”

About: I have 26 years of experience caring for pets in shelters, boarding facilities, training environments, and veterinary settings. I’ve had the privilege of working with animals of all ages, personalities, and needs, and I truly enjoy building trust with each one. My approach is calm, patient, and gentle, with a focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. Pet care fits well into my routine, as I work at a veterinary office daily until 5 PM. I am available for evening visits, walks, and drop-in care during the week, and overnight care is also available on weekdays as long as I am able to attend my work shift the following day. I carefully plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent, reliable, and attentive care. I provide pet care exclusively in my client’s home to ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment and daily routine. I follow each owner’s specific instructions closely, including feeding, walking, litter box care, medication administration, and enrichment time. I also monitor behavior and overall wellbeing, paying attention to any changes that may need prompt communication with the owner. My goal is to provide calm, consistent, and attentive care while maintaining the pet’s normal routine.

About: I grew up around furry friends and adore them. At the family house we dog sit all the time. I am honored with any amount of time I get to spend with animals! I am looking to do this full time. I have a mostly empty schedule and I am available almost all around the clock at almost all times. Your furry friends are safe with me. They will be treated like family (because they are) and will be treated with the upmost respect because that is what they deserve.

About: Hello!! My name is Kelsi and I’m a fun loving, easy going, active person who has always had a love for animals. I have always had a passion for animals. I have been volunteering at dog shelters since the age of 10 at one point in my life I wanted to be a veterinarian but decided to go with my other love of art instead. I love all furry creatures and pride myself off of treating them with the up most respect. I have trained several dogs in obedience. From small to large dogs I love them all. Whether it is to go for a long walk or snuggle up to take a nap I am down for anything. I am comfortable in bath time, nail clipping and giving medicine as well. By day I’m an Art Therapist but I also have the privilege to work for Bark which is a dog loving company for dog obsessed humans!!

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I currently work in dog daycare and boarding, where I help manage large groups of dogs, monitor behavior, handle feeding and medication routines, and make sure every dog is safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m comfortable with nervous dogs, high-energy dogs, dogs who need extra patience, and dogs with specific routines or behavioral needs. I also have experience with dog walking, boarding, administering basic medications, and recognizing when a dog needs some extra space or attention. Currently I am the assistant manager of a doggy daycare, but I know some dogs just don’t love daycare. I want to give those pets a chance to get some energy out! I am available after 2:00pm Monday-Thursday. I would care for pets in client's home since I am doing dog-walking and in home playdate services. Anything to makes it easier for the client.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Lithopolis

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lithopolis is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $36 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.

As of October 2026, there are 2,435 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lithopolis. 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 Lithopolis 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 Lithopolis 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 Lithopolis. On Rover:

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