We are just so grateful for Jessica! Our home routine has been off this week which has been challenging for the dogs but she gave them some much needed activity, enrichment, and snuggles (and managed Teddy and his upset tummy). It’s such a relief knowing we have someone to help us ensure the dogs are happy and living their best life. It definitely minimizes the dog mom guilt on a week like this.

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. For house sitting, I will be there most of the day but if I have to leave for anything I will be doing so. I also will not be spending the night as I have a child under the age of 2. 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.

About: Ive worked in the vet field as an assistant and receptionist for over 20 years now. I have a soft spot for senior dogs and have experience medicating. I work side by side with trainers so I am very comfortable and knowledgeable on behavior as well. I do work full time, if needed I can do potty breaks on my lunch break however some of my shifts are short only 5 to 6 hour days. I work 1 Saturday per month but only until noon. I have lots of time in between my full time job. I have a large fenced in yard ans crates if needed. I have 5 small senior dogs that ignore eachother and get along well/ignore other friendly dogs. I live in a small ranch size home so there are no stairs, other then to walk out the back door. Im home unless im working, spending time with my own babies. No children, just me and my husband who is also a dog lover.

About: Lifelong dog lover and reliable walker with hands-on experience caring for many dogs, including my own, Ziggy and June. I understand that every pup has their own personality, energy level, and routine, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for on every walk. As a teacher on summer break, I have open and flexible availability for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week. I’m reliable, responsive, and excited to spend my summer staying active and caring for dogs! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, friendly environment where dogs feel secure, cared for, and loved, while making sure every walk and visit is safe, attentive, and fun.

About: One thing that makes me stand out as a good dog sitter is that I always have put the needs of animals ahead of my own. I raised a beautiful golden who had many sicknesses, most relating to her allergies. She had anxiety, and many ear infections, feet infections, an eye infection and once , she got a blood clot in her ear which was very painful and required a lot of meds and TLC. I have an excellent veterinarian who gave us the best care. She got a walk on most days, excluding severe weather days. She got regular brushing, nail clippings, etc. She loved to play with balls and she loved pepperonis her whole life. I have raised several puppies and cared for several senior dogs and just being around animals especially dogs makes me happy. I am a teacher currently and I have evenings, weekends and breaks during the school year and during the summer I have time during the day for the month of June and my schedule frees up starting July and August. I have a fenced in backyard, no animals currently. I have a wonderful place to walk dogs and care for their needs. I love walking .

About: Hi! My name is Adriana, and I’ve always had a deep love for cats. A while ago, I adopted a sweet mama cat and her adorable kittens, and they’ve truly become the best part of my life. Watching them grow, play, and show their unique personalities has been such a special experience. Caring for them taught me patience, gentleness, and how much love a cat can bring into your home. I treat every cat I care for with the same affection and attention, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Your kitty will be cared for just like one of my own! 💛🐾 I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cozy cuddles, I’ll make sure they get all the attention and love they need while you’re away. 🐾💛 When I come to your home, you can always count on me to treat it with respect and care just like I treat your pets. I understand how important it is to feel safe and comfortable when someone enters your space, so I always make sure to follow your instructions carefully and keep everything just as you left it. Your pets’ safety and happiness are my top priority. You can trust that I’ll care for them (and your home) with the same love and responsibility I give to my own. 🐾💛

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: On top of dog and cat sitting for 7+ years, I’m also a trained massage therapist with a passion for bringing the massage experience to animals as well! Your pet may get some added spa perks 🤗 I’m currently a remote worker, so I can be anywhere, anytime! I’ll have the occasional day of meetings, but even then I have ample time throughout the day to give your pet all the love and attention they deserve! I prefer to take care of pets in the comfort of their own home! This makes for a smoother transition when the pet parents are away, and your pet can stay in the routine they’re used to.

About: I've been pet-sitting for five years for family and neighbors, and loved every minute of it! I worked at a pet store for multiple years and am very knowledgeable in everything pet related. If you need help with amphibians, reptiles, or small animals, I'm also knowledgeable and able to pet-sit them! I am currently a full-time college student but will always have time for your pets! I will be busy with classes for roughly three hours a day and working during the evening on most days. Weekends I do not have classes but will still have work. Please message me for any questions about scheduling around my work and school. I am unable to watch any pets in my home, however I am always open to taking care of any pets somewhere else. I will be able to give lots of love and walks to pets who need it!

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - New Albany

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in New Albany on Rover is $18.87 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 2,612 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

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 .

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 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.

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
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
