About: I've never had a time without pets in my life. Ever since I was born I had cats, dogs, mice, fish, even chinchillas! A good thing about me is that I always like to research things before I take something on. If there were any health issues or anything I would try my hardest to learn everything I could about it. Hey! I'm currently working as a waitress at nights but my mornings and early afternoons are free! I love being active and bringing a furry friend along just makes that even better. As a dog walker, I put their safety first, just as I do with my own babies. I don't like walking into new areas without making sure they're safe first. You just never know how the surroundings could be.
“This is our third time booking Debbie to watch our cats & I cannot say enough good things about her! She is wonderful and takes great care of them every time. It’s always a relief to know my pets are being cared for by someone I trust! Thank you as always 😊”
“I was so happy to be able to book Donai again. Second time’s a charm! I knew my cats were in great hands, and I always loved seeing the Rover reports and pictures while I was enjoying my trip. Thanks for your flexibility and your clear communication!”
“Grace was fantastic! Oliver clearly loved spending time with her! She went above and beyond and relieved my stress of having to leave my pup at home for so long. I will definitely be booking again in the future 😄”
“Jen took great care of my cat, Callie, while I was away. The regular updates and pictures she sent me made it much easier for me to enjoy my trip without worrying about Callie’s wellbeing. Would definitely recommend booking Jen!”
“Faithe was absolutely wonderful! She was kind, patient, and very understanding. I really appreciated how caring and gentle she was with my dog. Thank you so much for your time and kindness 😊”
“Ryo did a great job for our 10 night house/cat-sit. Great communication, sent plenty of pictures, and I know that our three shy cats were definitely building that comfort and familiarity you all hope for in a house or pet sitter. Only feedback is the water bowls needed one last top-up, but not the end of the world. Overall Ryo was super respectful of our space, and left everything in its place. You'll be our first choice for future cat and house sitting needs if you're interested Ryo, that's for sure! Thanks again so much.”
About: Hello! I'm Renee and I have been an "animal person" since I was a child. Starting with the family pets that were usually strays that came to stay, until today, where I have a total of 5 rescue dogs with diverse sizes and personalities. More about them later! I worked at Pampered Pet Clinic in Hillsboro Oregon several years ago and assisted the vet with procedures, surgeries, vaccinations and medications. Does your pet need timed medications? I would be happy to help you with it. I have been involved with rescuing, transporting and fostering dogs through several rescues, including "Key to Happiness" rescue which rescued and healed many homeless and injured dogs and found them new forever homes. My approach to pet sitting is to make the animal as comfortable and happy as possible, depending on what that particular pet needs the most. Some need petting and cuddles and some need playing and activity or both. It is stressful when their family is away and I make sure to become their friend. I am not there to correct behaviors but to give them the love and security that they're missing with out their family. I also have had folks come in and look after my beloved pets when going out of town and I know that it feels a little odd with someone coming into your home. For that reason I treat your home with the utmost respect. I don't go into any rooms with doors closed and do not help myself to anything that you have not specified. I check and double check all door locks and gates and am familiar with alarm codes. Your keys stay on my keychain at all times until they returned to you. I'm a mature and stable homeowner in the area with stellar local references. I will be happy to meet and greet you in your home to make sure we are a good compatible fit and can't wait to meet your fur babies! I mostly work from my home doing my online selling and crafts so have full time availability for pet and house sitting in your home. Visits, walking and even overnights are available. If I am staying in your home while you are away I will periodically leave to manage my home and pets but never more than 4 hours. Because of the number of dogs in my home with varied temperaments and sizes I prefer to pet sit in your home, rather than mine. It keeps my pups more balanced and all pets are happier in their own environment.
About: I've taken care of every kind of 4 legged babies all my life. Your baby will be spoiled in my care. I will always follow the owners care procedures and love your pet as my own. I have a privately fence for running and playing around and good neighborhood to walk and a some much needed exercise your fur baby will need. I currently work a full time job but I had plenty of time in the evenings and on the weekends to keep your pup and give him all the exercise and intention that he or she may need. I have a fenced in backyard, so your pup has plenty of room for exercise roaming. In a safe space. In a nice neighborhood for a good long walk.
“Mary went above and beyond! She took such great care of my babies while I was away and kept me constantly updated throughout. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in excellent hands. Everything was well taken care of when I got home, and my cats seemed happy and comfortable. I really appreciate how reliable, caring, and attentive she was. I will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
“Bayley did a great job taking care of our cats while we were out of town! She followed all the instructions on our guide, sent proof-of-life pictures on every drop-in, and consistently communicated about the timing of her visits. It was such a relief to know our fur babies were in good hands so we could enjoy our trip :)”
About: My passion for caring for animals started at a young age. I spent many hours volunteering at my local animal shelter as well as having the privilege of caring for my own pets at home. Growing up, I raised reptiles, fish, dogs, cats and hamsters….to name a few! In addition to being a down-to-earth, compassionate human, my friends would say I am trustworthy, responsible and reliable. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your furbabies (we can probably just call them children at this point, right) :) I am a very active person and enjoy walking, hiking and spending as much time outdoors as possible. My schedule is very flexible which would allow me work around yours! I can’t wait to get to know your furry friend!
“Missy was wonderful! This was my first Rover experience and I was very nervous with my cats needing medication twice daily but Missy was on time and great with communicating. I really appreciated the cute pictures she sent with each visit and I would definitely schedule with her again!”
About: I have been fostering puppies with my mom since i was 8 years old. I have 5 dogs myself, Gunner the English Shepherd, Ember a Pitbull, Saint, Saydi, and Saige which are all German shorthaired pointers. I also have a goat that seems to thing he’s a dog and plays fetch. Rigatoni. I’m currently working part time so i will have plenty of time to play with your pups!! I can’t wait to meet some new animals! I currently live by myself so I dont have any other dogs staying with me so i can keep a dog if its needed!! I have a room that the dog can stay in if needed!
“Lori is amazing. She visited consistently, cleaned his food dishes, played with him, and sent me the cutest pictures and comments. I will ask for her in the future, hope she can work us in as I know her reputation will spead and increase her business immensely! Thank you Lori, I had no worries about my baby's care”

We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Jen was incredibly attentive, communicative, and clearly went above and beyond to make sure our pets were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of while we were away. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind and made being away from home a lot easier!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in New Albany on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Albany. On Rover:

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.
