About: I have had dogs my whole life. I currently own a 7 year old shepherd lab mix and a rescue Yorkie mix (age unknown but at least 5 years old). I grew up with dogs and have experience with many breeds and many mixed breeds. I have experience with oral medications and special needs as well. I live on a small hobby farm and own a horse, 2 mischevious goats, a couple kitties and some chickens along with my 2 rescue dogs. I grew up on a farm and have taken care of many farm animals as well as house pets. I am currently working from home and would love an opportunity to meet and help others with their pets while they are away from home.
“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!”
“Rachel does an exceptional job taking care of my two kitties! She sends the best updates and pictures! I would definitely recommend hee to anyone who wants the very best care for their fur babies.”
“Keisha was absolutely wonderful with my cat Sophie! I loved that she shared pictures with me everyday which made me feel like I was in touch with Sophie even when traveling. She was very communicative and kept me posted on all of her visits. I had forgotten to turn my dishwasher on after loading it before I left and Keisha was so helpful to turn it on for me!”
“Chad is great! He took good care of our dog Milo while we were on a week’s vacation. We selected the drop-in visits service. He took the best pictures of Milo while on their walks and during his visits. He also gave great updates. Milo seems like he really enjoyed their time together. I will definitely book again.”
“Christi did drop-in visits on our daughter’s wedding day. She is an absolutely amazing sitter, and our dogs loved her! Thank you so much, Christi! You’re the best!”

About: I have lived with pets my whole life so I am very comfortable caring for your pets as I would my own! I can promise you peace of mind knowing your pets will be well taken care of! I have two cats at home currently so I am very used to attending to their many needs. I have a very flexible healthcare job and I am looking for some extra happy moments to add to my day ◡̈ I know having others in your home can feel very invasive however I promise to care for your pets while always respecting your households privacy!
“Emily was very easy to work with and flexible. Our dogs warmed up to her very fast, unexpectedly so for one of them which is particularly anxious with new people, and I would not hesitate to reahc out again if needed.”
“Jessica was amazing! She was very good with communicating with me and she was so excited to meet our babies. She sent helpful updates. I would absolutely recommend her and we will be using her services again!”
About: Lifelong dog lover and reliable walker with hands-on experience caring for many dogs, including my own, Ziggy and June. I understand that every pup has their own personality, energy level, and routine, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for on every walk. As a teacher on summer break, I have open and flexible availability for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week. I’m reliable, responsive, and excited to spend my summer staying active and caring for dogs! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, friendly environment where dogs feel secure, cared for, and loved, while making sure every walk and visit is safe, attentive, and fun.
“Regan has been a life saver with our two girls. She is thorough in her reports and wonderful to our kitties. Will miss her greatly when we move out of the country. Can we take her with us?!”
“I can't reccomend Taylor enough! She took such good care of my cats and lizard while we were on vacation for a week. We have a very shy and standoffish cat and it was clear to me that Taylor made them all feel so safe and comfortable based on how willing the cats were to let her snap pics of them every day - shes a great photographer too! Great communication, punctual, flexible (thank you again for feeding and keeping an eye on our bearded dragon!), and just all around a wonderful sitter who we will absolutely be booking with again. I would trust her in my home and with my pets any day. Thank you Taylor!”
“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.”
“I can’t say enough good about Darren! My boys LOVE him. He is kind, patient, and gentle with my dogs. Sent lots of pics during his visit. He is punctual & has excellent communication - you’ll never be left with wondering! He is an animal lover & it really shows when you see him interact with your furbabies. I would HIGHLY recommend Darren & will use him 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 for Pet Sitting in New Albany on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,706 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across New Albany. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
