About: I have always had a pet, and was a dog groomer for two years, as well as became certified. I worked at a pet store for 3 years! I am available 24/7 for pet sitting. They will never be left alone in my care, as well as going on walks whenever you’d like! My cat is my baby so I completely understand how loved your pets are, and will be sure to give them the same amount of love.
“Anita is the best! This is the 2nd time we have booked with her and we totally trust her with our sensitive older dog. Would definitely book her again. 😀 Knowing that she is taking care of our dog eases our minds when we are away.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Rachel did a great job! She dropped in to check in on my cuties (a dog and cat). She cleaned up after any messes, gave my dog her medication, gave them food and treats, and lots of love. I even received pics and updates after every visit. I really appreciate Rachel’s help and made my trip stress-free. I’ll definitely will be asking for Rachel’s help next time I go out of town.”
“I appreciate Kennedy so much for checking in on my cat and feeding her. Kennedy was very nice and followed the instructions for my shy kitty. I would absolutely book with her again.”
“Christi was amazing with our pets (17 year old cat and aquatic turtle). Our cat Leaux had a wonderful time playing with Christi and her string. We enjoyed seeing all of the daily pictures she sent of the pets. The cat even looked like he was playing like a kitten again. It was obvious based on the cat's behavior when we retuned he was not stressed at all while we were away. Christi is 5+ Stars for us as she cared for our pets as if they were her own!”
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.
“Chad was amazing! Booked with him last second after our original sitter canceled. Never used Rover so I was definitely hesitant, but couldn’t have lucked out with anyone better than Chad. He was early for every appointment and gave both our dogs nothing but TLC the entire visit. My wife would look on the cameras and our female loved Chad, they just played constantly. Our grumpy, old male seemed to enjoy his visits, which was a huge relief. I couldn’t recommend Chad enough, he’s extremely professional, diligent, and made us feel at ease during a stressful time.”
About: I have been helping care for my beagle, Chance, for 9 years. I have taken care of dogs while babysitting. I know how to prepare food, control a tugger of a dog on walks, and give pets the love they deserve. My own beagle is somewhat disabled with full use in only 3 legs. My experience is in dogs, but I also love kitties. My days are very flexible and open. Mon and Wed I am unavailable from 7pm-9pm. Tuesday I am unavailable 7:45pm-8:30pm. These times do not include travel time. After August 22nd, I will no longer be in Ohio due to school. All care will be done within clients house, with the exceptions of walks or dog parks. I am also available to drive your fur babies if necessary. I will always check the water dish and feed on time.
About: I have been caring for pets for over 25 years. For the first time, I don't have my own, so I am missing my furry friends! What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am an ultra runner and would gladly take your dog for a walk or run for exercise! I can board your dogs in my home or come to your home on designated weekends or evenings for potty breaks, walks, or even runs! I had two Vizslas for years who would run half marathons with me for every-day exercise! With notice, I can arrange to have my home to myself (if your pet doesn't like children), and I'm happy to board two doggies together! I work full-time during the week, though my days aren't typically 8 hour days. -Thus, if you need a morning and evening potty break or walk/run for your pet, I can accommodate that at your home! -Regarding boarding, I am often home on weekends, so boarding over a weekend is great, or if your pet is crate-trained, I can board during the week as well! I own my home and have no pets of my own. I live in a quiet neighborhood where I can walk your dog(s) without issue! They'll be able to enjoy my home as if it is their own. If you'd like to receive pictures or videos of your pet, just let me know!
About: I’ve spent 10+ years caring for dogs and understand the love, patience, and attention they need at every stage of life. From playtime and walks to comfort, I’ll love on your dog just like my own! I’m currently a Physical Therapy Technician and only 2 out of the 5 days a week normally are busy for me but the rest I never know what to do with. So I spend that time hanging out or just lounging with my family and my dog and I feel as though I can give that love to other fur babies I have a fenced in backyard and I also always go outside with the dog in order to make sure they do their business as well as for safety reasons in case of emergencies. My dog also stays in a leash at all times because I believe in not letting her roam too far away when on walks. I also learned her quirks so I understand when she is happy, feeling unwell, or even just uncomfortable which allows me to handle her at the best way possible so I can tend to her needs.
“Deanna was very communicative and took great care of my kitties. She sent me loads of pictures and kept me updated on everything everyday. I really appreciated it as it allowed me to travel worry free, knowing that my cats were well looked after while I was away.”
About: For years I’ve walked, fed, and played with peoples pets in the times they need some extra help! Hoping to help you the same way! I’m currently a returning college student, my availability is Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays, as well as weekends. I am pretty available any time of the day right now and happy to care for your pet! I strive to respect your rules you have for your pets and your home! I want to keep your pet safe on walks and inside.
About: I grew up with a large golden retriever and small mixed terrier for 10+ years until I went to college. I have just graduated college. I am not able to get a pet of my own yet, but I would love to help you with yours. I LOVE dogs. I have a huge heart and lots of patience for any breed. (Updated: May/June 2026) I am a teacher, so I have summers completely off, and I get home early on school days. I am already a very active person who goes outside to run or walk every day, so adding in your dog is perfect and enjoyable for both of us! I typically go for a run/workout for about 2 hours in the morning in the summers, but am free to be with your dog the rest of the day (Updated: May/June 2026) Located in New Albany/Westerville area. While I live in an apartment, we have 2 dog parks, lots of open grass, and I am always looking for an excuse to go to the 6 minute drive park with a dog walking trail near me or one near you. Your pet would love it! I am willing to do a meet & greet ahead of time. For safety reasons, I am only willing to care for 1 dog (or 2 from the same family) at a time. I am happy to send several updates/photos per day as you desire to confirm your pet’s health and happiness.
“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!"”
About: I have had my own dog since I was five when I named my Doberman Rommel. (History nut even then.) Around New Albany people see me walking my dog constantly. All weather every day twice a day. Long walks that allow my dog LuLu to explore and destress. Best thing for them. I love dogs and almost always, they love me right back. I'm patient, protective, and I know dogs are family! I work from home and I'm semi-retired so my schedule is as flexible as it gets. I can make almost any days and times work and boarding is always a possibility if you don't mind your dog getting an overload of attention! I have a fenced yard and an overly friendly senior mutt. I'm also always aware of other dogs when I walk and I know how to prevent problems before they happen. I owned a Golden Retriever and larger dogs in the past so big breeds aren't a problem.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in New Albany is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Albany
We have been getting Anita to take care of our cats for repeated occasions when we have been out-of-town. She has taken wonderful care of our cats! She has been flexible when we have had to add on visits at the last minute. This last time, we had to ask her to also take care of our dogs, who we usually board, but were unable to this time. She was willing to accommodate them and took wonderful care of them as well!
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!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in New Albany on Rover is $19.15 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,742 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
- 95% 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.
