“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!”
About: I’ve been watching dogs around my neighborhood and community for well over 5 years now. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have been watching, walking, sitting, playing, with dogs around my community for a long time now! I have a very open schedule so I can spend pretty much as much time as needed with your beautiful pups! I do get a little busy when school starts again but nothing I can’t handle! I tend to follow all the directions given by the client of how the pup should be handled. The pups will be in great care the whole time you’re gone!
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I currently own a 7 year old shepherd lab mix and a rescue Yorkie mix (age unknown but at least 5 years old). I grew up with dogs and have experience with many breeds and many mixed breeds. I have experience with oral medications and special needs as well. I live on a small hobby farm and own a horse, 2 mischevious goats, a couple kitties and some chickens along with my 2 rescue dogs. I grew up on a farm and have taken care of many farm animals as well as house pets. I am currently working from home and would love an opportunity to meet and help others with their pets while they are away from home.
About: I have had a dog ever since I was born, and am now 23 years old! I helped train my newest dog, so I have a lot of experience in puppy training. My last dog unfortunately had to have her leg amputated when she got older, so I also have experience with disabled dogs. I have also volunteered at an animal shelter for years, so I am good with all kinds of dogs- big and small, anxious and energetic, etc. Whenever one of my friends is out of town, I am their go-to pet sitter. I pet sit for a lot of my friend’s cats, so while I’ve never had one, I know how to take care of them. My dog, Rosie, is my entire world, so I know how important your pets are to you! I will treat them as if they are my own :). I do have a full-time job, but it is very flexible. I am able to leave during the day if needed for your pet! My nights are always free too, so I am able to house-sit. Your pet will be my #1 priority in my routine! I will keep your pet safe with my life! I will ensure they are on a leash when outside and make sure they are comfortable and getting their exercise in. Inside, I love to play with them! I will ensure no doors are left open so they can’t slip outside to maintain their safety. But I will make sure they are having fun while inside!
About: Personally have had 2 animals of my own and have taken care of others in the past. Animals have always bee n a passion of mine! I am very flexible. I work Monday-Friday from 9-3. Short days which would give me plenty of time to spend with your furry friend! I will have plenty of time to make sure they get all of their energy out! I make sure the pets are given all of the love and support they are needed to be happy in an unfamiliar environment. If they have a routine that you would like them to stick to I will do my best to make sure we continue to follow that routine!
About: I’m a nurse that loves to be around animals on my days off. Playing and taking care of animals just brings so much joy. I just love all fur babies :) I am a nurse so my schedule is not consistent but since I have four days off a week, I can try and be flexible! Animals like to be sneaky so I make sure they can’t sneak out the door when I open it and don’t get stuck in any cabinets inside
About: I have taken care of others dogs, cats, and even turtles for the last few years. I drop in to feed animals and will take your dog for a walk if requested. I am a teacher and currently on summer vacation. I have a lot of free time and am looking to make a few extra bucks this summer. At home, my dogs get lots of walks. They are well taken care of and each morning get a cookie and a snack or two throughout the day.
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, 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.
“Savannah was easy to work with, quick to respond, prompt with the meet and greet time, and best of all, kind and caring to my two Chihuahuas. They showed zero signs of stress upon my return (which is not usual). I would use Rover again, it was so convenient and Savannah made me feel completely at ease. Great service given by all!”
“Maddie was great for our first experience using Rover. We have a 10 month old pup that we weren't comfortable boarding while on vacation. We utilized Maddie for deop in services to feed, walk and spend some time with our guy. She was very responsive from my initial message. We did a meet and greet several days before. She followed up with notes she had taken during that meeting to ensure she understood expectations and that we were on the same page. During her times with Joey she provided several pictures and a detailed summary of their time together for each visit. Maddie will.be the first person I reach out to should we need further services in the future. I highly recommend her to assist with anything you may need for your own pet.”
About: Growing up my family has always had pets around the house. From cats, dogs, fish, frogs, and guinea pigs, etc. I absolutely love animals and believe they should be treated with tremendous care! I’m currently working part-time during the week days. I’m typically available after 6pm, and I may be available before work as early as 11:30am. My schedule is flexible and I’ll do my best to accommodate for your pet care needs. My top priority is keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications (if needed), and any special instructions provided by the owner. During walks, I use secure leashes and remain aware of my surroundings to ensure your pet’s safety. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, companionship, fresh water, and regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Kristen was great! She was extremely patient while my dog warmed up to her. She asked thoughtful questions on how to best care for my dog, and reached out if she needed additional information. I felt like Sully was in good hands while I was gone! I would be happy to use Kristen again.”
About: I grew up on a farm and have always had dogs and cats of my own, so I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I genuinely enjoy working with pets and understand the importance of providing them with loving, attentive care. If chosen to watch your pets, I will treat them with the same kindness, patience, and care that I give my own animals! I am an internship student working full time at Inova children’s hospital throughout the week. However I will have evening and weekend availabilities for dog walks! With my own pets, I enjoy taking them for walks, along with allowing them time to play with their dog toys. When I have dog sat in the past for others I have made sure to include these routines as well.
“Kayla was great to work with! From the moment we met, I knew she would be a wonderful fit to help care for my chocolate lab. Will definitely want to work with her again!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was 5! After college I adopted my own dog who passed away at 15. I’ve pet sit for various friends and family members and have experience with dogs 6 pounds to 80! I currently teach yoga, am in graduate school, and freelancing. My schedule is rather flexible which allows me to add this into my daily schedule. At this time, I’m not inviting pets into my home. If I have regular clients whose pets I get to know, I will be open to in the future. Since I have a cat, I want to ensure the comfortability of both pets.
About: I currently work at an emergency ER for animals, so have experience with many different types of dogs . I have also taken care of my own dog, walked other people dogs, and have experience working with puppies. I am currently in college and love working with dogs so I would love to drop in or walk dogs! I am also majoring in animals sciences so anytime time to be with pets is great! I have been in other peoples homes taking care of other people cats and dogs and I will respect everything in their home. Since I’m in college I will not be able to keep dogs at my home.
“Adriana was so wonderful to work with! She cared for our 2 cats while we were away and showed a huge appreciation and understanding for cat care and needs, which can be rare. She went above and beyond taking care of the home while we were away as well. Will definitely book again! Thanks so much Adriana!!”
“Kayla has been terrific with our Rocky. He just loves her! She recently stayed at our home for a week and while caring for our pup, she was respectful of our home and belongings. She also communicates well and is prompt with responses. We love the pictures she sent each day so we knew Rocky was being well-cared for and having a good time.”

We’ve been working with Lisa for a long time, and she is absolutely amazing. She always goes the extra mile, is incredibly caring, and even brings our dogs little gifts. She sends regular pictures that give us great peace of mind, and you can see how excited our dogs are to see her. We fully trust Lisa and will definitely continue working with her. Highly recommend!

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.
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.

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.
