“Elizabeth is Amazing! Very thoughtful and professional. Our cats really liked her. They were well cared for while we were away. We will definitely hire Elizabeth again!”
About: Pets are my world. I volunteered at an animal rescue for 8 years before I moved out of town. I had a 14-year-old rescue who was blind and diabetic. I gave him two injections a day and cooked his food every week. Let your pup be my new bestie. I currently do not have a set schedule so my schedule is pretty flexible to keep your babies company when needed even in short notice! I let them smell me each time and come to me when they are comfortable. I have no doubt they will warm up to me fast!
“Penny is fabulous! We needed a last minute sitter for our dog and we really lucked out. She took excellent care of our boys while we were away for the weekend. She was great at communicating with us throughout the weekend & we loved the thorough updates and pictures with every visit!! She is very reliable and we will definitely book with Penny again!!”
“Eleanor provided helpful updates and adorable pictures throughout her visits. She made me feel comfortable leaving my pets home while I was away!”
About: Lifetime of hands on experience owning multiple dogs of all different sizes and breeds. My background in aviation and college sports makes me reliable and excellent at communication and has taught me the importance of cleanliness and respect. As a college student, I have a lot of free time outside of mid-day classes. Pet care fits well into my schedule as I can make multiple visits a day if necessary. I care for every pet based on their individual routine and needs. In a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions (if applicable), and any house rules to help pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection, while also respecting their boundaries and personality. I keep owners updated with photos and messages so they always know how their pet is doing. My goal is to provide a safe, reliable, and low-stress experience that keeps your pet happy and maintains their normal routine.
About: What started off as a favor for a friend turned into a genuine love for all pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand the guilt and sadness that comes with leaving your fur baby with a stranger, so it is my mission to make sure that the owner as well as the pet feel comfortable enough to put their trust in me. I am a student with a part time job. I have available time for any animal with any need. Evenings or even night walks are perfect. Boundaries are important, not only for the owner before the pet as well. That is always my top priority. As well as treating a pet as my own.
“Billy is great! Our cat Ted absolutely loves him. He was timely with his visits and was great with communication. We will definitely be booking him again!”
About: Hello! I am studying in my masters program and looking for extra income to be. My partner lives in Texas with our Sharpei pitbull mix, Buster. I am missing him everyday I’m away. I have a cat of my own with me who is 10 and is named Bagheera. I am very fun and active and love the idea of taking your dog on long walks. I grew up with dog of various “big dog” breeds and I can handle puppies no matter how big or small they might be. I would love the opportunity to play with and care for any animal, and make sure they have everything they need! I’m a full-time student so my schedule is flexible and I’m available for boarding on the weekdays and weekends. Depending on my schedule, I may be out of the house for about four hours at a time, but frequently visit home. Before starting grad school, I was a full-time nanny for 10 years so I have lots of care experience and know the depths of which people love their pets. Being a nanny has helped me react quickly in emergency situations and has helped me expand my horizon of dog care as well!
“Brenda is super sweet and definitely a dog lover! She took great care of our pitbull and spoiled her rotten. The pictures were great and reassuring that our baby was happy and doing fine. Would definitely recommend Brenda and will have her dog sit again for us.”
About: I adopted a rambunctious shelter cat 5 years ago. She’s a wild child with a big personality! And I took in a stray cat about 2 years ago, who needed lots of care, including surgeries, food insecurity behaviors, etc. I’ve cared for cats my entire life, but these 2 girls have taught me how to handle the extremes. I am very knowledgeable about cats and their needs, and I can promise you, your baby will be taken care of as if they were my own (aka like perfect princess angels that I’d go to war for) I work from home, so I can immediately take care of any and all needs. I frequently check on my 2 cats, and have no issue stepping away from my desk if needed. In my home: My 2 cats have their own bedroom, catered to their playtime and nap time. They have free rein of the house, and are very welcoming to other cats. They are up to date on vaccinations and vet care, and they do not go outside for their safety. In your home: I will treat your pet(s) as if they were my own, with kindness and patience. I will follow your routine. I will be sure to change my clothes and take off my shoes to avoid any anxiety from smells of my own pets.
About: I have years of experience providing reliable and passionate pet care for all ages and sizes. I am also experienced in puppy training, senior care, and providing medication if needed. I take the utmost care to ensure that your pup's safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I work from home so I am flexible in that regard. I can take my work around any space if needed and work around your schedule. I clean up after pets thoroughly as well as provide them with lots of potty breaks and exercise. I never have them meet new dogs for their safety.
About: I pride myself on my patience, cleanliness and ability to adapt. I’m willing to make whatever work in order to help you & your fur baby! Happy pet is a happy home in my eyes. I’m currently employed full time! But I have flexibility as I control my work schedule. I’m also allowed long breaks one week days so I’m able to do check in or even walks during usual busy times! I can follow any directions given. I’m able to clean up after pets, crate them if necessary. I’m a very affectionate person so I love rubs and playing with pets if they’re comfortable! I do have my own fur baby who is clingy but he loves other pups! Just takes a minute to warm up to them.
About: Hello! My name is Adrianna and I’m so excited to meet your fur babies! I have 3 dogs of my own: a German shepherd, a husky mix and a golden doodle. I love animals of all types and have experience with special needs dogs, administering medication, and walking reactive dogs. My parents have 4 dogs as well that I routinely care for. I understand how comforting it is to know your pets are in good hands and I would love to be able to be that person for you! I typically work evenings, therefore daytime walks and visits are ideal for me and ensure I have lots of time to spend with your babies. I am happy to provide leashes and poop bags in case they are ever forgotten and i will ensure owners receive updates about their pets regularly.
“Maddy did a great job with our dogs! She kept them fed and entertained. The updates were great and I never was concerned with how the dogs were doing. One of my dogs is a trouble maker and she did great with her! Definitely recommend booking her! Reasonably priced, great service!”
About: I grew up in a home full of animals, including two cats, a dog, a bearded dragon, and a tank of colorful fish, and also loved taking care of neighbor's pets when they traveled. I also had the opportunity to look after my sister's senior cat during the pandemic, including administering his bevy of daily meds. Although my current state in life makes having a pet of my own impractical, I continue to spend lots of time with animals, including my parents enormous rescue dog and a neighbors' sweet orange cat who I look after when she travels. I would love to help out with your pet care needs, and can even attempt to teach your furry friend anatomy or pharmacology (I'm in med school), although I can't guarantee they'll listen :) As a student, my schedule is fairly flexible and I can work with you to find a time that is ideal for both of us. Generally, I'm free for drop ins in the morning and evenings, as well as any time on weekends. I know that it's a huge act of trust to allow someone into your home and even more so to have them take care of your pet. Having always had pets growing up, I know that they all have their own quirks and different personalities, often known only to their owner. I promise to care for each pet as an individual, taking into account their (and your) preferences and wishes. I also aim to maintain good communication so you never have to wonder how they're doing in your absence.
About: Check out my Instagram page to see all the fun your dogs could have! My love for dogs started in third grade when I wrote a persuasive essay to my parents about why I want a dog. I grew up with two mini Australian Shepherds (yes, because of my essay) but they no longer live with me. To this day, my enthusiasm for dogs still grows. I love everything from training, playing, walking, and caring for them. I believe that life is short as is and I want to have a positive impact with every dog I come across. My love for dogs will never go away. The happiness I feel towards caring for dogs and helping owners out in a time of need is unexplainable. I work full-time as an engineer in the construction industry. I can take care of 3 dogs per night. I love to spend every minute I can spoiling them with love and one on one attention. I love learning about your furry friend and what makes them unique and finding out their cute little quirks. My favorite is when I’m able to capture it in a photo or video and send it to you. I will go out of my way to ensure your pet has the best time possible and is comfortable when I care for them. Whether it’s playing, cuddling, or walking them that puts them in their happy place, I’ll gladly do it! I am available every day of the week for dog boarding. I work full-time as an engineer in the construction industry. Drop-off & Pick-up times that normally work best with my schedule are before work (6:30 AM-7:15 AM) & after work (5:30 PM-10 PM). During the weekends, I am available all day, but times do need to be coordinated in advance. I have a fenced in yard (4ft chain link) with neighbors who have dogs as well. When taking care of multiple dogs from different families, I am able to separate them when I leave so they are never in contact when I'm not home. I have a border collie that will keep your pup on their toes! He loves to play and has been very well socialized. I treat your dogs with the same amount of care, love, & attention as I do my own.
About: Animals are my life, love and passion! I am a full-time, work-from-home professional pet sitter and dog walker and have owned Meows & Growls Pet Sitting Service since July 2014. I enjoy visiting customers homes to provide daily care as well as vacation care. I have had the pleasure of taking care of basic needs (food, water, potty breaks, exercise) for Dachshunds, Pugs, Poodles, Malteses, Norwegian Elkhounds, Newfoundlands, Labs and Goldens I am certified CPR/First Aid, bonded and insured. Volunteer experience has been with our local animal shelter/rescue. I have participated in training classes with puppies and adults. What sets me apart from other sitters is I am a professional not a hobby sitter as my credentials illustrate. My 25 years had been both personally and professionally since 2014.
About: Hello! I love looking after family and friend’s pets and would love the chance to do it more often. I’m responsible and caring and I will take very good care of your pets. Hi! I’m a flight attendant on reserve, which basically means I’m on call. So I’ll know a head of time the days I’m off for the following month. The days I’m call, I’ll usually be at home waiting around, so I’ll still be free to do pop ins and walks. I have a fenced in yard for them to play in. I will walk them frequently. I will also make sure they are well taken care of and loved until they are back with you.
About: I have had pets since I was a child. I started pet sitting 13 years ago. I love all the fur babies I get to meet and their different personalities. I mostly sit for dogs and cats but now I even sit for chickens! I have 1 fur baby of my own - Catalina, my cat. I currently work from home. My job allows me the flexibility to work wherever I have an internet connection. I would love the opportunity to sit for your fur babies. I love to care for pets in their own home. I work remote and will be with your fur babies 24/7 unless I need to run an errand or just pop out for a bit. My number 1 priority is your fur babies. I apologize, but due to health reasons I will not be able to sit for anyone that has a smoker in their home.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a New Albany stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 New Albany 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 .

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 New Albany with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
