Stacey is a wonderful sitter and I will gladly rebook with her! She helped us by coming over for visits during the day for our dog. She's super reliable and her updates have been awesome. Since moving, our dog's social life has narrowed, so when we discussed her kids coming with her on visits, I was so happy with that; kid energy is good energy. Thanks Stacey for being such a kind and caring sitter for Morty!

Brooke was absolutely amazing with our babies! We were scared to leave them with someone that wasn't family or a friend but she eased those scares! She sent plenty of pics & always made sure to ask before giving something to the pups or doing walks with them ! We will definitely book her again in the future!!!! Thanks for being such a sweet soul to our babies! 😊

I can't reccomend Taylor enough! She took such good care of my cats and lizard while we were on vacation for a week. We have a very shy and standoffish cat and it was clear to me that Taylor made them all feel so safe and comfortable based on how willing the cats were to let her snap pics of them every day - shes a great photographer too! Great communication, punctual, flexible (thank you again for feeding and keeping an eye on our bearded dragon!), and just all around a wonderful sitter who we will absolutely be booking with again. I would trust her in my home and with my pets any day. Thank you Taylor!

Vanessa took a last min booking and made a stressful situation with our injured kitten when we couldn’t be home not so stressful. She gave her meds and gave us peace of mind. Vanessa even provided helpful advice and tips and offered to pick up supplies for us. Wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again

About: I have experience in home health care for the elderly, often providing support that extends to their pets as well. My experience with pets have been primarily dog walking for clients, feeding, pet/home maintenance I’m currently making myself entirely open to this experience into pet care as to making this my career. I enjoy being connected more with present life, and I feel as taking care of animals would set me on that track. I offered care to pets by fulfilling their needs, wants, and offering companionship. I also intend on extending care to making the environment more hygienic for the pet.

Heidi has been doing daily drop ins for our two dogs for almost two weeks now. She is wonderful. Lots of communication, pictures, and goes the extra mile. I was hesitant about using Rover instead of taking my dogs to daycare. She has reinforced that we made the right choice!

About: I provide dedicated, attentive care tailored to your pet's unique personality and routine. Having spent years caring for a wide variety of animals for friends and family, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, feeding, playtime, or giving your pet extra love and attention while you are away, I prioritize their safety, happiness, and comfort. I am highly dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to giving you complete peace of mind while you're out. I have excellent availability throughout the summer and am open to caring for your pets seven days a week! My schedule is highly flexible Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On Mondays and Thursdays, I look after my two young grandchildren, which means I will be hanging out at home with them. If your pet loves a lively, family-friendly environment, they will fit right in on those days; otherwise, I can easily tailor my focus to match their preferred routine! Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a spacious fenced-in backyard perfect for safe outdoor playtime and bathroom breaks. Your furry family member will have plenty of company here, as I have two friendly dogs and a welcoming cat who are all completely accustomed to sharing their space with new guest dogs. Whether they want to run laps in the yard, socialize with my pets, or just find a cozy spot to relax, my home is a secure and loving environment.

Christine was awesome with our dog! In setting up the visits, she was very professional and prompt with responses. She followed all of our requests and Max was very happy when we returned home. We would request Christine again and would definitely recommend her to other pet owners.

About: Hi! I’m Brittany, and I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. As the proud owner of a happy 5-year-old French Bulldog, I understand that pets are family and deserve patience, love, and personalized care. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, administering basic medications, and caring for dogs with unique personalities and needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages, giving you peace of mind throughout your time away. My Services 🐾 Dog Boarding 🐾 House Sitting 🐾 Drop-In Visits 🐾 Dog Walking Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday life. As the owner of a 5 yr old Frenchie, my days already revolve around walks, feeding, playtime, enrichment, and making sure my own dog is happy and healthy. Because caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, it’s easy to incorporate additional pets into my daily routine. I plan my schedule so every dog gets the attention, exercise, and one-on-one care they deserve. Whether it’s an early morning walk, midday potty break, afternoon play session, or evening cuddle time, I make sure each pet receives consistent care and plenty of affection. I truly love spending time with animals! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to keep pets comfortable, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality because some dogs love to play all day, while others are happiest relaxing with belly rubs and cuddles. In a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would want for my own. I make sure pets feel safe in their familiar environment, keep everything clean and tidy, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners can enjoy their time away without worrying. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. They receive plenty of supervision, affection, exercise, and a safe, comfortable place to relax. I keep plenty of clean toys, orthopedic beds and blankets on hand so your pet feels at home. My goal is always to make them feel loved and at home.

My kitties had great visits with Merri! I contacted her with very short notice but everything worked out smoothly and wonderfully. I will definitely contact her again in the future and recommend her to anyone with four-footers - both cats (I have four) and dogs!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 11. From running over to let out the neighbor’s dog, to pet sitting for friends & family members while they’re on vacation. I grew up in a home with two dogs, both of which I’ve helped care for and go out of my way to spoil with love. Fun fact: I’ve also raised and cared for goats, rabbits, cats, turtles, frogs, and fish. I am a full-time student, but I would love to care for (& walk!) your furry companion(s) in my spare time. I’m a firm believer that the best therapists have wagging tails! I recently adopted a German Shepherd/Labrador Retriever and I can assure you that I will care for your pet with the same enthusiasm and warmth as I do her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lockbourne on Rover is $14.99 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 2,625 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lockbourne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Lockbourne 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lockbourne. 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
