“Rachel was amazing with our dog! She really cares and it definitely shows. She was even able to come for an extra visit last minute when we needed her. She sent me pictures of our pets during her visit and gave them lots of treats and pets! We will definitely use her again!”
“She took very good care of our kitties while we were out of town for a family funeral. She gave good reports and photos of each visit. Upon our return our kitties were obviously happy and well cared for.”
“Jamie did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Ivy, while we were away! She was reliable, communicative, and sent thoughtful updates and pictures that gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Ivy was well cared for and comfortable, which means everything to us. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
About: I have several years of experience providing dog and cat sitting for friends and family, as well as professional experience working at a dog boarding facility, Dog Gone Crazy. I am dedicated to ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. I am a graduate of Kent State University with a bachelor’s degree in Biology and have spent the past three years working with zoo animals, which has strengthened my understanding of animal behavior and care. I truly enjoy meeting new pets and look forward to caring for each one as if they were my own — because every visit should end with a happy tail wag 🐾 I am currently working the Columbus zoo with animal care and even on my days off I still love to be around animals! I have experience with a variety of different animals and I can’t wait to meet more friends! I make sure to respect everyone’s homes and follow directions promptly. Every animal is different and I like to make an effort to learn every animal I work with and to know their boundaries.
“Jenna was very consistent. From the photos, I could see that my female cat liked her.my male cat is shy so he didn’t warm up as much to her. It was their first time with her.”
“Angi was wonderful with our dog Scooby and very thorough with her visits! We could tell he was well taken care of and we really appreciate it. We will book Angi again in the future!”
“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: With over 15 caring for my childhood dog, and being a frequent cat sitter for friends look no further for your friendly neighborhood pet sitter! I am currently looking for weekend and afternoon jobs. Depending on your location, I may be able to stay overnight for services! Let’s chat to see what works for us both! As a Clinical Psychologist, I take pride in my job and apply my ethical code of conduct in and out of the therapy room. You and your pets will be in good hands!
“Jamie went above and beyond while we were away for ten days. She watered plants and tended to our new garden with the sprinkler. Plus took such good care of our sweet kitty. As always we truly appreciate Jamie and her care!”
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!
About: I have had a cat for the past 11 years (since I was in 3rd grade) and grew up helping take care of him. I also have helped my sister take care of her dog a little bit over the past year and have grown up around dogs. I’m currently working a part time job, so some mornings I will only be able to stop by quickly and check on them in the morning but spend more time with them at night, and other days i’ll be able to spend more time with them in the morning and only stop by quickly at night (around 10:30 at night). My cat is indoor and has full reign of the house so boarding at my house is not available. However, I can stop by your house and check in your pet as needed and will follow whatever guidelines you have! I will also be sure to give your pet plenty of love!
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Albany
Adriana is absolutely amazing! She took care of my dog as if he were her own, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in her care. I truly can’t thank her enough. She is a wonderful person, and you can genuinely tell how much she loves animals❤️❤️❤️ ❤️ she’s the best
We had a wonderful experience with Addison! She took excellent care of our cats, followed all of our instructions carefully, and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. What really stood out was how she went above and beyond—she even helped us troubleshoot an issue with our heating/AC unit while we were gone. That meant so much to us. We came home to happy, well-cared-for kitties and felt confident they were in great hands the entire time. We would absolutely book with her again!
Christi has watched our senior cat 3 times now! She is fantastic. We get great updates and pictures. Most importantly when we return we know he has been well cared for because of how he interacts with us. He has quality play time and stimulation. If you are thinking about booking Christi do it! You won't regret it!
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 Pet Sitting in New Albany is $20 per visit as of November 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 November 2026, there are 2,609 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Albany. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
