About: I have had cats and dogs all my life. Currently I have thirteen fur/feather babies. Two cats, one Australian shepherd and ten chickens. My pup just turned a year old so I have more knowledge with younger pups. Can't wait to meet your fur babies! I am a stay at home mom and have flexible availability. I can be there for your fur babies practically whenever you need me! I have better weekday availability, while weekends require planning ahead. Whether you need me to walk your dog, come over to ease their anxiety or simply let them out to potty, I can meet all their needs. Or if you have a high energy dog like my Aussie, I can get some of that energy out by playing with them while you are at work.
“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!”
“Desiree took great care of my cat, Valentine. This was my first time using this service and she made me feel like my girl was safe and in great hands. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Sarah was wonderful with our dog! She gave great communication, was timely and followed instructions perfectly! We will definitely be booking again! Highly recommend.”
“Bayley was awesome with drop in visits for our dog! She took great care of her, especially responding to her fear of storms, which were plentiful while we were gone. She also quickly accepted our request to extend services after our return flight was cancelled. Highly recommended!”
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!
About: Hello! I’m a dedicated, experienced pet sitter who provides safe, loving care in a clean, comfortable home. I’m a single mom with a flexible full-time schedule that allows for convenient drop-ins, walks, and both in-home and house boarding. My home is located in a downtown area with acess to a yard for supervised play and exercise. We have lots of sidewalks and parks for walking around the area. Services I offer: Drop-in visits and daily care Dog walking Small-animal boarding and care In-home or house boarding (small/medium dogs considered) Emergency contacts and daily photo/text updates Why owners trust me: Prior experience working with veterinarians and professional groomers I create personalized ID tags with my contact information for every pet in my care Clean, safe environment and attentive supervision Flexible availability for last-minute needs and scheduled visits Loving, calm approach—your pet’s comfort and routine are my priority I have one friendly dog who is well-socialized and used to sharing space with visiting pets (management and introductions are handled carefully for each new guest). I’m happy to discuss introductions, meet-and-greets, and any special needs or routines your pet requires. I work mostly from home so I am able to provide your pet with as much care, love and attention possible. We love animals and would love to work with you. We offer a safe home for all sorts of animals. We have cameras throughout the property, we keep dogs on leash at all times when outside unless at an approved dog park. We have tons of windows for our cat friends to sun themselves. We don't chance anything. We know how much they mean to you and we strive to be diligent in safety and care.
“Mary took great care of my cat, provided updates and photos, and even noticed that the toilet was running, let me know, and kindly assisted in turning off the water for me.”
“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!”
“She’s the best. Emily really cares about our pets and treats both our home and animals so well. We can really count on her. Absolute professional and highly recommended!”
“Liz was a natural with our three dogs. One of our dogs can be standoff-ish and selective on who she wants to meet. She warmed right up to Liz. We will definitely contact her again.”
“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!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors which has given me experience with pets of all ages and sizes. I love to make animals feel safe and loved while their owners are away! I work from home a few days each week, which gives me added flexibility to take care of your fur babies. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding, playtime or evening check ins, I’m happy to fit your pet’s routine into my schedule! Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities and I will care for them as if they were my own. I will follow instructions closely and include any specific needs or preferences your pet may have.
“Reeanna was amazing! They took such great care of my cat while I was away and sent me the cutest updates every day. I came home to a super happy (and very spoiled) kitty. Totally recommend and will definitely book again!”
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.
“This is my second time using Daniel. Both times he was great and felt comfortable with him taking care of my cat. Would recommend. I will definitely use him again in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in New Albany on Rover is $16.65 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 1,232 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across New Albany. 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 New Albany 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 New Albany. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
