“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.”
“Ashlyn is the absolute best! Her taking care of my dog on my long unpredictable work days gives me peace of mind. My dog always looks so happy in the pictures she sends me in the rover card. Thank you Ashlyn for all you do for Buckeye and myself! Oh”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me! Since moving to Columbus, I’ve regularly cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I genuinely love getting to know each one. Whether your dog wants a long walk, lots of playtime, or just someone to hang out with and give them plenty of attention, I’m happy to match their routine and personality. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet, so I’m dependable, communicative, and always happy to send plenty of photo updates while you’re away. My goal is simple: keep your dog happy, comfortable, and cared for just like they would be with you - and give them a little extra serotonin while I’m at it. Their serotonin boost gives me one too! 🐾 I work from home M/Fri, so depending on the day I am super flexible. I always have a lunch hour, have days with no meetings, and slow days where I’m looking to get some steps in and would love a furry friend to spend that time with! I’m super flexible and even able to do early mornings!😊 For drop ins, I bring a friendly personality, care, and cleanliness to your home. For dog walking, I am able to find the best parks, your neighborhood, or my neighborhood to walk them in!
“Words cannot express how thankful we are for Darren! We have 2 large breed (Cane Corso) dogs who are somewhat anxious and finding someone to care for them has always been a bit of a struggle. Darren looked after our boys for 4 days while we traveled…10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
About: House with a large fenced in back yard. 2 dogs and a cat in the house that are good with other dogs. Have experience with giving any sort of meds your dog may require. I currently work full time in office but am home by 3 every day. Dogs can be taken on multiple walks around the neighborhood each day or they can enjoy the fenced in backyard. I have a large fenced in yard and also live in a neighborhood that is great for going on long walks. Dogs are allowed on bed and furniture.
“Jamie showed up on time and took several pics of our pup. He was clearly happy and being paid attention to. Jamie followed through with directions and left a very detailed description of the visit! Love Jamie watching our pup!”
“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!”
“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: 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.
“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: As a German Shepherd Husky owner, I’m fully equipped to handle dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Raising a high-drive breed has given me hands-on experience with confident leash handling, safe play, and providing the physical exercise and mental engagement active dogs need. Safety, reliability, and patience are my top priorities. Whether following strict feeding routines, managing high energy, or ensuring a calm de-stressing environment, I care for every pet with the same vigilance I give my own. You’ll always get prompt communication and daily photo updates for total peace of mind. I’m currently looking for work so my schedule is open! Let me know what you typically prefer when it comes to your pet care and I should be able to accommodate. As a German Shepherd/Husky owner, safe handling and environment control are second nature to me. My home is set up to keep pets comfortable, secure, and stress-free: Double-Door & Leash Protocol: I maintain strict door awareness to prevent door-darting or escape attempts. Leashes are always secured before doors open. Hazards Picked Up: All electrical cords, small household items, human food, and toxic plants are kept out of reach at all times. Controlled Introductions: I never force interactions between animals. All pets are introduced slowly and on-leash in neutral areas to ensure everyone feels safe. Routine & Medical Adherence: I strictly follow your feeding schedules, crate routines, and medication protocols. Emergency Preparedness: I keep contact info for your preferred vet and the nearest local 24/7 emergency clinic on hand at all times.
About: I have been a dog lover my entire life. I am known as the dog whisperer. It' is rumored amongst pets of the existence of a dog petter who has the most loving energy. Many dogs only believe it to be legend. It is a real live person. It is me the dog whisperer. I have experience walking, administering meds through mouth and providing exercise and treats. There is no pet to big or small. I love them all. I have a rather flexible schedule due to working online. Only times I am not available when traveling for business as host for a travel group. I care for pets to the instructions of the pet owner. I know most dogs that are properly cared for require a lot of attention and prefer to be in the company of someone. I enjoy the company and love to give quality time to dogs. Such as playing fetch tug a war or long walks.
“Cas was awesome with our dogs! We have 4 territorial little dogs and Cas was on time, fed them dinner and gave them lots of love. 10/10 recommend We will be using Cas’s help again.”
About: I’ve had large dogs my whole life. From training a puppy to adopting a dog. Also taking care of healthy and pets who are sick or need some extra attention with medications or disabilities. I work full time as a nurse and am currently working on my masters. Taking care of your pets and walking them is a way I can relax and get outside. I ask that clients leave instructions on how exactly they want their pets cared for, and will follow those instructions exactly. Safety for your pet is my number one priority.
“Christine is amazing. She’s been watching our high needs pets one. We’re out of town for a couple years now. We definitely use her every time we go out of town out of town and will continue to do so!”

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!

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.

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.
