“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 😄”
“Absolutely the best! Was a little apprehensive because my Great Dane is a little skeptical of strangers but she fell in love with Lori. She even took both of my doggos for ice cream! My vacation was so much more enjoyable knowing my babies were being so well cared for! Highly, highly recommend her! ❤️”
“Donai was exceptional! I knew when she came to meet Alice and Hank and she got on the floor to meet them, and asked for some treats to win them over, that she had already won over my approval. She gave me daily updates and daily pictures. It made me so happy on my trip to both see them, and also see that they were being well cared for and loved. Would definitely book Donai again!!”
“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.”
“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: 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!
About: I have taken care of animals since I was young. I’ve had puppies, kittens, dogs, cats, bunnies, etc. I love to take care of animals and love to learn everything about them. One day I’d love to own my own rescue I have open availability. It fits into my daily routine because I have a dog and two cats of my own. I feed and water them. I take my dogs on walks and to the dog park. I can not keep other people’s dogs at my house. I can care for pets in clients home. I have before. Once I start pet sitting I would listen to whatever the owner asks me to do.
“Eleanor went above and beyond, retrieving an important piece of mail that arrived while we were away. And our pup was well taken care of, as usual!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters? I’ve mastered the art of negotiating with high-energy working breeds, outsmarting stubborn puppies, and serving as a certified head-scratcher for gentle seniors who just want to nap in peace. With plenty of foster and rescue experience under my belt, I speak fluent dog body language, respect the sacred mid-afternoon nap, and strictly enforce the "Cheese Tax" (within dietary guidelines, of course). Whether your pup needs strict medication routines, structured outlets for their relentless zoomies, or just a professional belly-rub technician while you’re away, I guarantee they’ll be living their absolute best life—and sending you endless photo updates to prove it! As a teacher, my days run on a structured, predictable routine that pets thrive on! Before school, your pup gets an early morning walk and breakfast; after the last bell rings, my full attention is theirs for afternoon adventures, play, and cozy evening snuggles. Being organized, patient, and used to managing full classrooms means your pet will get seamless, attentive care, clear boundaries, and a reliable schedule every single day. Whether in my home or yours, your pet gets the royal treatment—and a temporary promotion to favorite family member! In my home, they’ll enjoy structured play, designated couch-snagging spots, and endless affection. In your home, I keep their exact routine intact, following feeding schedules to the letter, sticking to their favorite walking paths, and making sure the house stays neat. Either way, expect strict safety, zero missed meals, and enough goofy photo updates to fill your camera roll while you're away!
“Jenniffer went above and beyond to make sure that Zoey was well cared for and had time to enjoy outside and take care of business :) She had great contact with us throughout the weekend and allowed us to enjoy our family get away knowing that Zoey was in GREAT hands - highly recommend Jenniffer !!!”
“We were really happy with the care she gave our dog while we were away. At first our dog was a little shy and unsure, but she eventually warmed up to her and started getting excited for their walks and playtime. I was honestly nice seeing her look forward to the visits. She always made sure our dog was fed and had fresh clean water, and even with only 30-minute visits, she still took the time to walk and play with her. Our dog can pull a lot during walks, but she handled her really well and seemed patient with her. Overall we were satisfied with her care and appreciated the updates and time she spent with our dog while we were away. We’d definitely consider booking with her again. Thank you again!”
About: I’ve always had a dog growing up, our family dog recently just died of old age.. and think it’s probably to soon to get another dog so we’re going to take baby steps. I’m currently working part time, I have a 4 year old son who loves animals so feel it would be great to take on pet sitting part time.. I have a spacious home & also a fenced in back yard for dogs to easily roam around and be comfortable inside or outside etc.
“Elizabeth has sat for my cat a few times now and she always takes her time with her to give her love. Shes also very communicative. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Toria has dropped-in for us on multiple occassions. She is always prompt with her communication and we can tell that Hank, our cat, is always pleased to see her!”
“Jacqueline was amazing! She fit me in on a super short notice when I took an unplanned day trip. She was extremely communicative and kind, and even offered to do extra tasks that I hadn’t asked of her.”
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.

Skylar took excellent care of my cat, Freya! Communication was wonderful throughout my trip, and knowing Freya was in such caring hands gave me so much peace of mind. I recommend Skylar 1000% and would absolutely book with her again. Thank you for taking such great care of my girl! 💕
Ryan was so helpful with our dog and two cats. Our regular pet sitter had to cancel last minute and Ryan really stepped up and helped us out so much. He even gave our cat medicine so he could feel his best while we’re gone. We will definitely be rebooking with Ryan sometime soon!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in New Albany is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $2 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,186 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across New Albany. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
