“Emma watched Sadie while we were away for a day. She was communicative when needed, did everything we asked of her, and even stayed a little while extra to comfort Sadie when Sadie was afraid of fireworks going off outside. Sadie was cared for and in good spirits when we returned. We would happily book Emma again!”
“Lyndsey took fantastic care of our cat and home while we were away. She provided frequent updates and pics which we loved. She’s responsible and we’ll definitely be working with her again in the future”
“Kaitlyn was fantastic. It was so nice to be able to relax on vacation knowing my cats were well cared for! Kaitlyn send multiple updates and photos each day, and did so well entertaining my crazy kitten and comforting my lazy older boy. Will definitely book with Kaitlyn again in the future!! 🩷🩷”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I make it a priority to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. I’m dependable and organized, and I take commitments seriously. I’ll make sure your pet’s care is a priority and that they receive the time and attention they deserve. I know pets are most comfortable when their routine stays consistent, so I’ll take the time to learn their preferences, habits, and any special instructions before you leave. I’m also happy to send regular photo and text updates so you know how your pet is doing
“Miriam did the best job taking care of our dog while we were out of town. Miriam did a great job communicating, sending photos, updates, and left our home in fantastic condition. We have a senior dog with some anxiety, and Miriam was very experienced and understanding, which truly can’t express how much that’s appreciated. Would rebook with Miriam any time and suggest you to do the same!”
“Morgan was so sweet and patient with our pup, who typically experiences some anxiousness. She had the magic touch to make her comfortable. Morgan communicated updates and shared photos, and made sure our girl was safe and happy. We will definitely work with her again!”
“Caitlyn always does a tremendous job with Opie. He loves when she stays with him. She provides plenty of photos and updates throughout the stay and is the least stressful portion of my travel!”
About: Hello! I'm a proud Upper Arlington parent that's worked with animals their entire life. I'm a registered and insured member of the National Association of Pet Sitters (NAPPS), and I've called Columbus home for over 20 years. I have about thirty years of personal experience with dogs and cats and time volunteering with local humane societies and shelters. Animal care and advocacy has always been a big part of my life. A large portion of my experience is in senior care, which is one of the most important times in a dog's life in terms of their relationship with us. It is always an honor to work with seniors. I also work in dog socialization, and have significant experience with cats, along with incidental exposure to ferrets and rabbits. When you book with me, the person who answers your first message is the same person who shows up at your door, every time. Cats get the same full attention dogs do too, with a promise of fresh water, a clean litter box if requested, playtime, and a photo with a little blurb about how the visit went. As a registered and insured NAPPS member, I take pet care and building trust with owners very seriously. Every new relationship starts with a no-pressure meet and greet at your home before anything moves forward to determine compatibility and to learn more about your family member. Off duty, I share the job with Steve a rescue rat terrier from Columbus Humane who's appointed himself Chief Inspiration Officer, Morale Officer, and, most days, The Real Boss. Pet care is currently my full time focus during working hours to help neighbors and clients who simply cannot get home in time, or for those who need to travel and require reliable incidental at-home visitation. Evening and weekends are available for those who need assistance due to vacation, travel, or emergencies. If you need an odd time, ask. I can usually make it work within the pricing structure to accommodate. I'm insured through Pet Care Insurance and a NAPPS member. Before any booking we do a free meet and greet at your home. When I care for pets at your place, I stick to your routine and keep dogs leashed on every walk.
“Beth not only met my number one priority of attentive care for Oliver, but also went above and beyond other sitters I’ve gotten from Rover.com before. I felt so much peace of mind and am so grateful that I have a dog sitter that I can use for my next trip!”
“Sarah did an amazing job taking care of my pups! They can sometimes have a hard time getting to know people, but took to her right from the start. She did a great job with communication and sent lots of pictures which I appreciate, and I could tell they were happy. I highly recommend her if you're looking for a dog sitter!”
“My doggy is a big fraidy cat. But Rachel takes good care of him and he's as relaxed as he can be. Rachel is also a dependable and conscientious -- always willing to go above and beyond. This lasr time, as an example, she dragged 80 lb. boxes off the front stoop and into the house! She's great. I highly recommend her.”
“Zach was an excellent pet sitter! He provided daily photo updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. He made sure Rebel got a walk every day and took great care of all of our pets—Rebel, our dog, and Lilly and Bella, our cats. It was clear they were well cared for and comfortable while we were gone. We really appreciated his communication, reliability, and the care he showed our pets. We’d absolutely trust Zach to watch them again.”
“We have 5 dogs, our babies. They were happy and well taken care of. Janeesa sent us regular photos and videos of them which really made me feel good knowing they were happy. I highly recommend.”
“Bishop did a great job with Murphy! He sent us pictures regularly and I swear Murphy was smiling! It was a complicated schedule and Bishop handled it perfectly giving us great peace of mind. We look forward to using him again.”
“Joelle was reliable and did a great job taking care of our dog while we were out of town! We received a daily update with a photo to reassure us that everything was going well and that our dog was getting all the cuddle time she needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again in the future.”
About: I love dogs so much. I've always been willing to dog sit for friends, family, and neighbors. I have dog sat for many different kinds of dogs (including small, medium, and large dogs) since high school and I love every single dog I meet! I also have a pug puppy named Marshmallow! I currently work a full-time job (8am-4pm) so I'm generally free in the evenings and on the weekends to walk and play with your pet! I love dogs and I understand the importance of potty breaks, walks, and play time. I care about your dog’s safety during walks, play time, and potty breaks! I also understand the importance of giving medications to dogs when they need it. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so it naturally fits into my routine. As a pet owner myself, I'm already planning my days around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure my own pets are happy and healthy. I have a flexible schedule and love being active, so adding walks, drop-in visits, or spending time with pets throughout the day is something I look forward to. My goal is always to provide dependable care while helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved until their family gets home. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I know every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions before each visit. Whether we're going for a walk, playing outside, or relaxing at home, I'll always keep your pet's safety in mind and make sure they're supervised and cared for. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I'll follow your instructions closely, keep your home clean and secure, and make sure your pet receives plenty of love, attention, exercise, and enrichment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is simple: for you to come home to a happy, relaxed pet and feel confident that they were cared for as if they were part of my own family.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Marble Cliff
McRae did a great job taking care of my 8 year old dog. She left my house clean, and even stayed 90 minutes later than expected for my return when my flight was delayed. Her communication was excellent, and my dog really liked her. I would definitely book her again.
Marissa was great! She saved me after a last minute cancellation. She is very communicative. She sent pictures of my cats constantly and would let me know when she was leaving in and out of the home. It looked like my cats really enjoyed her company and she enjoyed theirs. I would definitely book her again.
Sarah was great watching our two adorable if not anxious and energetic pups! She was great about fitting in a meet and greet and was communicative through the whole process. She was comfortable and great with them both right away and not put off by them as they adjusted to meeting her. Especially our 11 month old puppy. During her two night stay with them she sent photos and updates, and adjusted to accommodate their anxiety the first night when they were confused about where we were. She took them for walks independently and they both looked happy and relaxed in her care! As a first time user of this app, our minds were at ease and we are so glad to have had her and will definitely use her again!
Joelle was a wonderful housesitter for our senior golden, who needed medicine aministered twice daily and lots of attention. I would highly recommend her and hope to use her services again. She made our time away on vacation worry free while he was in her capable and trustworthy hands.
Malorie and her husband Nico are absolutely amazing! Georgia was spoiled during their stay with her. They are wonderful communicators and exceeded all of Georgia’s needs. They took great care of my home and the left the place just as I did. I will definitely be reaching out to them for future stays!

FAQs for House Sitting - Marble Cliff
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Marble Cliff on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,511 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Marble Cliff. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Marble Cliff walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Marble Cliff maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Marble Cliff 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Marble Cliff. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
