“Ann was absolutely wonderful with my puppy! Since she’s still so young, she requires a little extra care, attention, and patience, and Ann went above and beyond to make sure she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly appreciate the love and attention Ann gave her, and I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for her services.”
“Jenna is so reliable and takes good care of our cats! She takes great photos and gives them lots of attention! I would definitely recommend her to others!”
“Jessica is amazing! We just brought home a new puppy to join our rescue pup. Different ages, different temperaments, different levels of bravery. Jessica meets them where they are and has given our rescue the time he needs to warm up to her. Now our updates include him crawling into her lap for snuggles in between potty breaks and play time with the puppy. The thoughtful updates and adorable photos (glamour shots) truly make my day.”
“Bethany was amazing with our cat Vivi. Very professional and timely with visiting and providing updates. She sent lots of fun pictures, and I'm glad that Vivi got to get lots of snuggles and pets while we were away.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve cared for dogs for years through personal and professional experience. I’ve worked for multiple veterinary offices, taken vet tech courses, and worked at PetSuites, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, potty breaks, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m patient, dependable, and I’ll treat your pet like one of my own. IMPORTANT: For boarding, I want every pet to have a safe and comfortable stay, so I do have a few requirements. Pets must be house trained, comfortable with children (preferably around young children daily), and owners must provide a crate for overnight stays if their pet is crate trained or may need one for safety and rest. I’m unable to accept unspayed or unneutered pets at this time. I also ask owners to leave clear written instructions for feeding, medications, routines, and any behaviors or special needs so I can provide the best care possible. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I can work with your pet’s usual routine as much as possible. I know how important consistency is, so I’ll make sure they get lots of care, attention, potty breaks, and love while you’re away. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you leave. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to your pet’s needs, and I’ll make sure they get lots of love, patience, and care while you’re away.
“Kayla is kind, responsive, and easy to work with. She provides helpful updates and asks good questions, which makes being away easier. We have booked with her several times without hesitation.”
About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of tons of furry (and scaly) friends over the years. It warms my heart to provide all that I can for any pet. I have my own babies at home, as well as taking care of friends’ and families’ as well. I would be happy to offer that same care to any pet. Pets are incredibly special and important to me. I take great pride in committing deeply to assuring their safety and care while under my supervision.
“Gina is so much better than you expect from a pet sitter...she truly went above and beyond with Punky! My cat is extremely old and usually very hesitant around new people but Gina truly understood her and made her feel very at ease. As a single mom I felt even MORE comfortable with her knowing my home and my cat were in her care. She is EXCEPTIONAL and I will most certainly use her again!”
About: I have grown up with golden retrievers and cats! I absolutely love animals and taking care of them as well. Whatever care they need, I’ll get it done! I’m almost always free to pet sit! I do babysit as well, where the kids also have fur siblings I take care of too. I love to help out!! Pet care, safety, and happiness are all very important to me! If your pet needs to sleep with me, I would not mind one bit!
“Marie did a fantastic job with Snippet and Milky Way. She played with them both every day when visiting, and she was very communicative both before and during her stay.”
“Kaylyn was so helpful! My shy kitty loved her! And she was taken good care of! When I got home, she was clean and happy. This is the first time I travel for over a week, and I was so nervous about it. I was so lucky to find Kaylyn. She made it so much easier!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - New Albany
We had a wonderful experience with Addison! She took excellent care of our cats, followed all of our instructions carefully, and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. What really stood out was how she went above and beyond—she even helped us troubleshoot an issue with our heating/AC unit while we were gone. That meant so much to us. We came home to happy, well-cared-for kitties and felt confident they were in great hands the entire time. We would absolutely book with her again!
Christi has watched our senior cat 3 times now! She is fantastic. We get great updates and pictures. Most importantly when we return we know he has been well cared for because of how he interacts with us. He has quality play time and stimulation. If you are thinking about booking Christi do it! You won't regret it!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in New Albany is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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.

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 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
