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.

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.

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.

About: Walks.Play.Snuggle.Repeat. I've had dogs and cats my whole life and treat them with the love and care I would any family member. My early work experience was in vet clinics and animal rescues. I'm a proud mama to 2 small, well socialized, friendly dogs and 3 cats . All of the animals are great with new dog friends. We would love to give you some peace of mind that your fur baby is well taken care of while you are away. I work from home and the dogs have beds and toys in my office and all over my large house. We are located in Clarksville, just off the I 65 Eastern Blvd exit. I live on a double lot with a huge, fully fenced yard. Small dogs have doggie door access to come in and out as they please. Bigger dogs will be regularly let out for supervised play and potty breaks in the yard. All have a lovely sunroom to sit and watch the birds and squirrels that frequent my feeders. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs and cats dietary needs, medication administration. Looking forward to being your dog's home away from home! I work from home on a flexible schedule so I am able to check on and interact with the dogs frequently. They will be supervised during outside play.

About: I have experience working with dogs and myself have owned dogs all my life. I frequently pet sit for friends and family, staying a week at a time in a few cases. I’m more than willing to stay overnight with your pets to keep them company when you’re gone! I’m willing to prepare meals for your pets if they are on a diet so long as you provide me with clear instructions and ingredients. I will care for “aggressive” dogs and provide senior pet care, including oral medication and bedtime routines. I am currently available 24/7. Morning afternoon evening and night! I will of course prioritize my own dogs, but currently I am able to go where I am needed! I will spend time socializing with your pets to ensure they don’t feel neglected while you’re gone, I adore all kinds of dogs and cats. If you have any other pets in the home I’ll gladly take care of them too, including small rodents, ferrets, reptiles, fish, and amphibians!

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - New Albany

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in New Albany on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,201 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.
