“Wonderful sitter to communicate with and trust with our animals. She followed all care instructions and even left the place cleaner when she was done. Would recommend to anyone looking for an animal sitter.”
“We have trusted Rachel several times now to take care of kitty Millie while we are out of town. It is reassuring to know that while we are away, Millie will get the best possible care. There aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for Rachel. If I could give more than 5-stars, I would.”
“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: Hi! My name is Adriana, and animals have always had a special place in my heart! 🐶🐱💕 With 7 years of experience caring for pets, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs and cats with different personalities and needs. Whether it’s going for walks, enjoying playtime, keeping up with their daily routines, or simply giving them lots of love and attention, I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m also a proud cat mom! I adopted a sweet mama cat and her kittens, and they’ve brought so much happiness into my life. I know how much our pets mean to us, so I treat every animal I care for like part of my own family. I also love keeping pet parents updated with pictures and messages so they can feel at ease while they’re away. Your furry family member will be in loving, caring hands! 🐾💛 I have a flexible schedule and am available full-time to care for your pets. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cozy cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive 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. 🐾💛
About: I've had animals in my life since birth, literally. My mom is a veterinarian and raised me to be just like her. It worked 😅 I am an aspiring veterinarian with a lifetime of experience when it comes to caring for the furry, scaly, aquatic, or just different members of the family! I have worked as a vet tech, so if your pet needs any sort of medication, I am highly qualified for medical administration as well. I am a full-time master's student at OSU. Most of my "free time" centers around the weekends but I do have more limited availability during the week as well. No matter where I am, I vow to provide any pet with the utmost amount of care. I specialize in belly rubs, butt scratches, and laser pointers. Also, if you want your pet's nails trimmed or anal glands expressed, I can do that too 😂
“Jessica is amazing! We just brought home a new puppy to join our rescue pup. Different ages, different temperaments, different levels of bravery. Jessica meets them where they are and has given our rescue the time he needs to warm up to her. Now our updates include him crawling into her lap for snuggles in between potty breaks and play time with the puppy. The thoughtful updates and adorable photos (glamour shots) truly make my day.”
“If I could give Trisha 10 stars, I would!!! She is absolutely wonderful...a kindred spirit to my two dogs. She spent meaningful time with them, played with them, walked them, watched TV with them (the shows THEY like to watch!). I was nervous because we have never used a dog sitter before--our dogs are like our children. But Trisha just felt right, and she did not disappoint. I did not even have a chance to worry about our fur babies--Trisha kept us updated with charming photos and captions that showed how much she was caring for and caring about our babies. I recommend Trisha 1,000%, although I do so hesitantly, as I always would like for her to be available for our pups! ;) Thank you, Trisha. Mercy and Tink look forward to your next "visit!"”
“Faith was great! She pilled and gave other medication to our cat 4 days in a row and did a great job with her. By the end we could tell from our daily pictures that our cat was at ease with Faith. She was prompt and kept the litter box and food attended to as well.”
“Kayla is a godsend. She provided excellent care for my two dogs. I came home to two calm and happy boy. Great communication—frequent and timely updates with pictures.”
About: I have taken care of my dog since she was 8 weeks old. I have trained her as well as other dogs I've cared for to sit, lay down, roll over, heal, jump fences and much more. I have a lot of experience working with horses, and bunnies as well as dogs. My dog has faced medical issues like skin rashes due to allergies, and I am comfortable caring for animals that need additional support. I currently have one dog that lives with me. I care for her daily. I also take horse lessons 2-3 times a week and am responsible for the horses care as well. I am currently a college student so I plan on caring for your animals with short breaks when I have classes. I will spend free time outside of classes playing/walking and taking care of your animals.
“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 taken care of dogs ever since I’ve been able to walk. Grew up with a Boxer, Pitbull & a kitty. My mom and I opened our home to fostering during Covid. Taken in eight puppies at once while also potty training and teaching sit command. I can also train for walks!! Took care of my senior dog that had heart, thyroid and skin issues so I am experienced in administering medications when needed, syringe or oral. I also am experienced in taking care of dogs with special needs, including dogs that may use a wheelchair. The one to call when family and friends need a sitter because of my reliability, flexibility, and amount of love their pets receive in my care. Our house is the play house and we don’t care about messes or how unruly your children(doggos) are. I also have experience in taking care of chickens and I make homemade all natural dog treats!! Right now I work part time to pay for school 4-5 days a week, only 20-25 hours and normally in the morning. I also have a more flexible side job that only schedules when they need me and it can be 2-3 days a week usually in the evenings. For that side job I can also choose to not work for the week if I am watching your fur baby. I enjoy staying busy, but I love taking care of animals more and would much rather spend the day with your pup! I am also a full time college student but my work is online, so I am mainly at the house if I’m not at work. While your doggo is in my care, my top priority will be tending to their needs and pampering them as if this was their own little vacation. I can even bring out the pool! After I get off your pup has all my time and the day is full of their favorite activities. I will even wake up earlier to give them a walk before I leave if need be. Let me know your fur babies schedule and I will accommodate. If I am watching your pup/pups at your place then it’ll still be the same concept, just letting me know how I can best adhere to their schedule. My daily life includes work, online school and reading.. so I will always be there for them. :) I take care of your pups as if they were my own. Big fenced in backyard with room to roam and play safely, they are not restricted to areas and are allowed on all furniture including my bed if that’s what makes them most comfortable. I adapt to your pets needs, whether they follow a strict schedule day to day or just need someone to let them be their crazy selves I can adhere to all and any requests. I can even offer a pool in the summer if your pup loves the water!! If I am watching your pups at your place, I will follow their schedule strictly if you’d like, or if you want them to have their own little vacation I don’t mind doing whatever it is you’d like me to do to make sure their needs are met and they are happy. We can have fun doing any of their little hobbies they like, just let me know if you have a fenced in backyard, or if they go potty from walks and anything I need to watch out for on walks.
“Melanie has helped me a few times now and has gone above and beyond for my pets. I only asked for dogs to be fed and let outside, but she cleaned up pet messes, and even scooped a litter box for me! The dogs love her and I will definitely be hiring her again.”
“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.”
“I highly recommend Rebecca, my dog loved her instantly from the meet and greet. She was always on time, reliable, responsible and very loving with my furry buddy. Great experience and I’ll book her without hesitation for my next trip!!”

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 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 2,658 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 .
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.
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 .
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.
