“Amy was great!! This was my first time going away since I got the kittens shortly after lockdown started. They’re a year old and had never known me to be gone longer than half a day. I was worried about how they’d handle me being gone for over a week, but Amy took good care of them and they adapted quickly and went to her for attention. Her updates made it much easier for me to be away!”

She first came to my house to meet me and my cats, Kari is professional, friendly, detailed, instantly took to my cats, I feel like she is a friend after she left, I felt comfortable leaving my cats in her care. She did an excellent job! Sent me an update and pictures every time she visited. Highly recommend her and will be using her services in the future.”

About: I have pet sit for many years. I love meeting new animals. I enjoy pet sitting because as a social worker I am able to come home to an animal and sent time with them. Animals are the way I cope. I have plenty of time to play with animals in the evenings and weekends. My schedule is very open for this and I am excited to have this opportunity I will ensure to keep everything the way I found it or even better. I know animals do best in their own environment so I have no problem being in other peoples homes. I show respect.

“We planned a trip to Grand Tetons but were in a bind with what to do about our dogs. Karen came to the rescue and let our dogs out during the days while we were in the park. It gave us peace of mind and they weren’t cooped up all day. Definitely recommend Karen!”

About: My experience includes working as a veterinary assistant and providing personalized pet sitting and dog walking services. I have cared for dogs of different ages, personalities, sizes, and energy levels, including puppies, senior dogs, and pets that require additional patience and attention. My veterinary background has helped me develop strong observational skills, understand animal behavior, recognize potential signs of discomfort, and appreciate the importance of maintaining consistent routines. I am comfortable following detailed feeding instructions, providing exercise and enrichment, and communicating closely with pet parents about their animals’ well-being. I believe every animal deserves individualized care, kindness, and respect. Let’s do a meet and greet. I have a flexible schedule for now. I’m free on the early mornings and late afternoons. Available on the weekends and holidays or for vacations. It all depends of the routine your pet has. I try my best to accommodate my clients to make them feel like they are home and have peace of mind is my priority.

She is always on time for her visits, communicates well for bookings and during her visits, and we feel good about her caring for our dogs while we are gone. I would definitely recommend Chelsi as a responsible and caring pet sitter.”

About: I was a devoted pet parent for 12 years, caring for my yorkies Maggie & Molly from the time they were one through their senior years. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, maintaining routines, and administering insulin injections when needed. While I’m new to providing pet care professionally, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and love I’d want for my own 🐾 I work Monday through Friday 9am to 4pm. I’m in the office every Tuesday & Wednesday and every other Monday. I work from home on Thursdays & Fridays. I can provide pet care both before and after work, with extra flexibility on my work-from-home days ☺️ I care for pets with patience, attention, and lots of love. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of attention. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and safe, and I’ll keep you updated while you’re away 🐾❤️

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life — I grew up around dogs, cats, and pretty much every pet in the neighborhood, so being around them just feels like home. I started pet sitting for family and friends when I was young, and it kind of grew from there through word of mouth, which honestly means the world to me. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means keeping up with a high-energy pup or just sitting quietly with a pet who needs some company. Every animal has their own personality, and getting to know that is honestly my favorite part of the job. My schedule is super flexible — honestly, anytime works for me. I'm self-employed, so I have the freedom to be available whenever your pet needs me, whether that's early mornings, evenings, weekends, or last-minute bookings. No 9-to-5 restrictions here! Your pet will never feel like they're being squeezed into a busy schedule — they'll always have my full attention. When I'm in your home, I treat it like my own — with respect, care, and a lot of love for your pet. I follow whatever routine your pet is used to because consistency matters, especially when you're away. I'm not just popping in to check a box — I'm fully present, keeping things comfortable and familiar so your pet barely notices you're gone. Your home and your fur baby are in good hands.

About: I have grown up my entire life around pets and animals of all varieties. Dogs, cats, Parakeets, and even hamsters. I have learned and grown to love and care for animals because I view them as family, not just pets. I have walked dogs and have house sat for many years and am considered experienced with most forms of care and service to pets such as dogs and cats I work a full time job as a social studies educator where I teach seventh grade through 12th grade world, history and government classes. Teaching is my absolute passion and I love working with kids of all ages To help guide them towards helping them become better versions of themselves every single day! Teaching may be my passion, but I love working with animals on the side when I have spare time. I am free on weekends, most evenings, and free almost the entire summer. I am easily and readily available for evenings and even summers to take care of your furry friends while you may be away for longer periods of time! I currently live in a single bedroom apartment with only one furry firmed if my own. He is a 6 year old American Short-Hair who is the sweetest of kitties and my entire world. I adopted him when he was just a month old and he has been with me his whole life. My apartment is located next to nearby parks and grassy areas for walks and exercise. My apartment is also smoke-free and is in a pet-friendly neighborhood with quiet streets and friendly neighbors.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - New Columbus

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in New Columbus is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 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 1,806 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across New Columbus. 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 Columbus. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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.
