About: I grew up with 4+ dogs at a time. I have had or taken care of all types of dog breeds. No longer having a dog of my own I am ready to love on your fur babies while you are away like they are my own! I currently work part time and have the mid day off, this is the perfect time to come walk and play with your pup! Most days I work a few hours in the morning and evening giving me flexibility to take care of your baby/babies! I currently live in an apartment but love to go for walks, my apartment also has a big fenced in dog area. If coming to your home im ready to play fetch, go for walks, and car for your fur baby!
“Carina is AMAZINGLY PERFECT!!!!! she was SO communicative and sent such detailed report cards i was completely blown away. this was my first time using Rover and i was super nervous but after the FIRST report card, my nerves were INSTANTLY settled. she has a true love for animals and i seriously want to recommend her to EVERYONE i know!!!”
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.
“Dana is amazing! She has taken such great care of my 11-week-old puppy. I always get the best photos and detailed updates, which gives me so much peace of mind. I never have to worry knowing Dana is with her—she’s reliable, caring, and incredibly knowledgeable. Can’t say enough great things!”
“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!”
About: I’ve had all kinds of animals growing up, so i’m very use to the care and attention big and small animals will need. I’ve independently taken care of small and big dogs over live periods of time. I am a previous cat foster. Overall I love animals and miss being able to have my own (due to new rooming situations). I am active, patient, and am always safe with animals. I am currently working part time, and in school :) My mornings until around 3 pm are full. But i would love to make afternoon visits to play and hangout with all furry friends. I am good at taking directions and paying attention to the temperament of animals. I would never do something unnatural/ feed something not instructed by the owner. I have worked some in dog training and understand all animals have different training levels which I am happy to learn more about :). I will always be respectful of an owners instructions.
“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.”
About: Animals are my entire life, and also my eventual career! Over 10 years ago I started walking my neighbors dogs and fell in love with animal care. Since then, I have gained a ton of experience by working with all sorts of animals in my high school animal labs and farms, working in a small animal vet clinic, volunteering at shelters and ICUs, pet sitting for family friends, knowledge through my animal science courses, and much more. I love all types of animals, and I truly hope to provide the best of service to your family pets! I am currently a college student, but I have a lot of free time throughout the week and the weekends to provide my services. My best availability is from Fri-Sun, however I can still fit quality care throughout most of the week Every time I let your pet go outside, I always make sure to have them on a leash to keep control of them for everyone’s safety. In fenced in areas, I am always outside with them to supervise so they have someone to play with and make sure they are keeping out of trouble. I am very flexible in pet care and will do whatever it takes to cater to their needs
“Corrinn did an amazing job taking care of our 11- year-old cat while we were away for several days. Our cat is very shy and likes to hide under the bed. He came out from under the bed to greet her on the second day of drop-in visits. We appreciate that she spent time getting to know our cat, feeding him treats (while he hid under the bed), and sending us daily photos. We could tell from the photos that our cat was happy and comfortable with her. Our home was clean and well taken care of when we returned. I highly recommend Corrinn for cat sitting!”
About: Hi I’m Izzy! I currently work at an animal hospital in kennel care. I’ve adopted/fostered 15 animals (dogs,cats,birds,etc) since I was 8 years old. I’ve petsit for friends, teachers, and close connections! Since I do have an animal working job, that does mean that I will have to work around that. Some days mornings work better, as others the day or evening. Yet I'm very flexible and communication can sort that out! I make sure that your cat/s is good with water, any food, medication (if needed) and double check before and after if there’s any cautions that he/she could get to. On top of that picture & video updates!
“Kyndal was very kind and actually met both my babies which normally they would hide. The only thing she didn’t do was clean out their food bowls from previous feed. Otherwise, I was very comfortable in knowing my kitties were taken care of.”
“Brooke was absolutely amazing with our babies! We were scared to leave them with someone that wasn't family or a friend but she eased those scares! She sent plenty of pics & always made sure to ask before giving something to the pups or doing walks with them ! We will definitely book her again in the future!!!! Thanks for being such a sweet soul to our babies! 😊”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in New Albany is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 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.
As of October 2026, there are 2,563 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
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 .
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 , 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 .
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.

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 , 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.
