“Regan saved the day for us by taking care of our two kitties while we were away for a month. They loved her immediately and looked forward to every visit. Cant wait to have her take care of our girls again.”

“Sidlali was great at our first meeting, and very patient with the possibly-overly-detailed introduction I gave her to our cats and their litter situation. I look forward to her taking care of our cats next month!”

“Taylor is great with our dog and she communicates so well from the time of booking to post visits. She also has been available last minute when we desperately needed help. Highly recommended Taylor!”

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.
“We recently had the pleasure of booking Carina through Rover to care for our two dogs while we were away on a two-week vacation, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience! Carina was absolutely phenomenal—her attentiveness, warmth, and genuine love for animals made all the difference. From our first interaction, Carina’s professionalism and enthusiasm put us at ease. She took the time to meet our dogs beforehand, learning their quirks, favorite activities, and specific needs. Throughout our trip, she sent us daily updates with photos and videos, showcasing our pups happily playing, cuddling, and enjoying their time with her. It was clear they were not just well-cared for but truly cherished. Carina went above and beyond, even taking them on extra walks and sneaking in some special treats (with our approval, of course!). Her communication was impeccable, always prompt and detailed, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs, who can be a bit shy with new people, warmed up to Carina instantly, and we returned to find them happy, healthy, and maybe even a little spoiled! Our home was also left spotless, which was an added bonus. Carina’s passion for pet care shines through in every aspect of her service. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and treats your furry family members like her own. If you’re looking for a sitter who will shower your pets with love and attention, Carina is the absolute best choice. We’ve already booked her for our next trip, and we can’t recommend her highly enough! Book with Carina—you and your pets will be so glad you did!”

“Booked Taylor for about a week and everything was just as I left it. The cats were healthy and happy when I got back. Taylor was very communicative and I would book her again”

“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.”


About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, care, and attention. I’m dependable, responsible, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving them plenty of attention. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is doing well. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m able to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for. I make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, meals, potty breaks, and companionship they need rather than rushing through visits. I’m comfortable adjusting my schedule to follow each pet’s established routine and providing consistent care throughout the day. I also make communication a priority, so pet parents can expect updates and photos while they’re away. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and close attention to their individual needs. Before each booking, I make sure I understand the pet’s routine, feeding instructions, walking preferences, medications if applicable, and any behaviors or special instructions I should be aware of. Safety is my priority, so I keep pets supervised, make sure doors and gates are secure, and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I’m also respectful of my client’s home and make sure everything is left clean and secure. I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable, so I provide regular updates and photos and communicate promptly if anything seems unusual. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and loved while their family is away
“Ariel is so sweet with our boys. Trust worthy. It’s nice to have someone you can completely trust with your pets. Finally be able to go on quick trips without worrying. She is amazing”

“Christi did a wonderful job! We were nervous about leaving our dogs, who can be a little wary of strangers, but Christi was so kind and attentive that they warmed up to her right away. She was timely with every visit of our trip and sent the best pictures at each visit. Would highly recommend.”

“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.”

“Kam was sweet, kind, considerate and understanding. I knew my cat was in good hands while I was out of town. Kam made sure she got her medication on time everyday and administered with love!”

“Danielle was great - I felt confident my cats were in good care. Danielle is really easy going and goes above and beyond. We also had to make last minute changes to our schedule and Danielle helped with that!”

“Our dog Hank had a great drop in visit with Josh! He won’t stop asking when he’ll see his new friend again. Josh was great! His communication is stellar and he spent some good quality time with our boy.”

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.

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.

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.

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.
