“Beth not only met my number one priority of attentive care for Oliver, but also went above and beyond other sitters I’ve gotten from Rover.com before. I felt so much peace of mind and am so grateful that I have a dog sitter that I can use for my next trip!”
“Tia was amazing, sent us constant updates with pictures and we never had to worry how our dog was doing. It was the best peace of mind we could have had over our weekend travels. Thank you Tia!”
About: I have been taking care of pets all sizes and ages for over 6 years both in and out of the home. I make it my personal mission to love and care for your babies so you’re able to be away knowing they’re being cared for just the same. I am currently in school and working part time which gives me my evenings and weekends free to take care of your pets. I have my own fur babies at home and one of my own so finding time to take care of others pets when they need it not only benefits you, but also me! I have experience with all types of animals and their routines. I am experienced on crate and litter training, active or non active. I am able to keep up and adapt to any animals needs and create the best routine and environment for them.
“Rebecca did a wonderful job and I would definitely recommend her as a sitter! She was flexible with my last minute changes and gave updates and pics. This helped my anxiety as my pup wasn’t feeling well when I left, so the reassurance was much appreciated!”
“Mia did amazing with our dogs. They are sensitive and tend to have high anxiety when things change. Upon coming home there were no accidents and the dogs approached us as if nothing happened, meaning, she loved them and tended to them in the same mannor we would. She also gave the same love to our bearded dragon. Thank you so much for stepping in while we can step out!”
“Caitlyn left an adorable pet report card for us which I loved. She was super communicative when my shy/touchy senior dogs were being problematic and asked for tips. Good with medication schedules!”
“Stephanie was a wonderful sitter - she was quick to reply to us, even for a last-minute request, and provided us with frequent text/photo updates just how we like it. We came home to a clean apartment and a happy pup. We’d love to have her take care of our dog again!”
“Madeline stayed with my babies over night which I much appreciated it. She sent pictures daily of them. The 1st day with them she didn;t leave which made them feel secure. Felt like they were loved and taken care of since have 2 puppy mill moms and 3 cats which think Zoey maybe slept with her since the room she slept in Zoey has now claimed for her room.”
About: Hello!! **Update** I am currently accepting walks for only 6-7am and 8-10pm timeframes. I have several repeat clients that take up the other hours but will update this if things change. Drop ins are same timeframes except for Sundays and Tuesdays I can take on anytime all day. If you are going on vacation please reach out anyways about Drop Ins as if my schedule allows I CAN accommodate for the most part with a month in advance*** :) I do have 8 animals both cats and dogs of my own!! If requesting boarding please do not request if your baby does not do well with either breed. My name is Christine and thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile :) I used Rover for 4-5 years but I moved and then was working 2 jobs at the time so I took a break and am back now! I currently live in a condo and do not have a yard right now but I’m feet away from a really great park here in Powell. I grew up taking care of many types of animals but more specifically dogs. I have 3 dogs of my own, all different breeds and personalities, which really challenged me to be able to learn and grow with taking care of dogs. I do work a full time job Monday to Saturday with Sundays and Tuesdays off and early days off Monday Friday and Saturday! This schedule does not work well if you need boarding and your dog needs more attention than I can offer. I do come home for lunches to walk my own dogs . Mainly available for walks 7 days a week. Mostly open for drop ins 5-7 days a week ! I have a flexible schedule for last min bookings My 8 pets are EXTREMELY LOVED and spoiled! They have their own closets, foods, toys and even a room dedicated to my cats and dogs in case they just need that alone time away from the humans ! They receive the upmost care for grooming and vet clinic as well! My wallet is never happy when it comes to my pets because I just find so many ways to love them and spoil them!
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I recently moved to Ohio and really miss having dogs. I would love to care and play with them whenever I have free time. I love all kinds of animals and i'm very gentle with them. I have a huge heart for dogs and cats. I enjoyed walking and playing with my dogs growing up. I have worked with dogs that have high anxiety so I know how to calm them down in stressful situations. I also take their safety every serious and would care for them like my own pets. I can not wait to care for your dogs/cats and create special relationships with them for the future. I can help with your pets Monday-Friday 10am-6pm. Walks, feedings, and cuddles! I am more than happy to stay over night when needed. I'm also very flexible when it comes to my schedule. I have 2 fur babies (cats) that I love like my own children! Willy and Boots! Giving animals loves of love is something i'm an expert at!
“Cody was amazing! It was his first time w our two dogs. One is a senior Pom mix on insulin and one is a puppy, Bernese Mountain dog. He came over twice before he was actually here staying at our house, for 1 week. Our dogs immediately loved him. We taught him how to give the shots to our senior dog and he did great! He kept in constant communication w texts and pics. We will get him again and continue to utilize him, as he was awesome!”
About: I'm new to pet sitting but not new to loving dogs and cats! I have 3 fur babies (pups). Dora, Rosie, and GG and they are my world along with my husband of course! 😊 I am also a Board of Trustee member for Columbus Humane as I am deeply passionate about animal welfare. I've spent 25 years in leadership in the intellectual and developmental disability field. I'm currently launching my own consulting business that allows me flexibility to earn extra income snuggling with your pets! I will treat your pets like my own which means lots of love, walks, and treats! I am currently starting my own consulting business so my schedule is very open. I go to the gym 3 days a week around noon for an hour. Otherwise, I have lots of availability. As a dog mom who is super protective of my pups ever getting out of our yard, I will ensure I follow all instructions to make sure your pet is safe at all times. All 3 of my pups have their own needs as they are all seniors so I'm comfortable with special diets, medication, or any other needs your pet may have.
“Brittany was great with our pup! This was the first time we had left her so we were a little nervous of course. Brittany checked in and sent us updates at least once a day and Opal even jumped in a mud puddle right before Brittany was going to leave and she stayed to give her a bath :)”
“She was wonderful. The dogs loved her and it was like we weren’t even gone! The house was perfect when we returned and she sent us frequent updates on our canine babies! I will definitely use Elyza again! Thank you so very much!!!”
About: I have been working with dogs since my mid-teens, from fostering to training and just about everything in between. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, as well as mobility, hearing, and visual imparments. I specialize in hyper, anxious, and reactive dogs. I also have a passion for socialization and confidence building. I am first aid and CPR certified for dogs and cats. I also have experience in oral medication administration. I currently work Monday-Friday 9pm-5am I am available in the early mornings 6-8 am and evenings 4-8 pm for drop ins and walks. I am also flexible with my availability on weekends and can accommodate most schedules. I have several years experience handling dogs and the challenges they often bring with them. I am first aid and CPR certified for dogs and cats. I always have an extra slip leash and break stick (a tool used to help safely open a dog's mouth in the event of a bite) on me in case of emergencies. I have two friendly dogs who are always looking for new friends, if your dog would benefit from the company.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Rome
This was my first time using Rover. I was a bit nervous about using it. Cannot praise Elizabeth enough. She went above and beyond what I expected. Provided daily updates. When I got back, I could tell that my dogs were well cared for. In addition Elizabeth cleaned up after herself. I would definitely book her again.
We were out of town for 9 days and Rachel took wonderful care of our anxious Havanese. She is always punctual when setting up appointments for meet and greets, stayed in touch if she had any updates or questions, and followed directions for Phoebe’s special diet and meds. Phoebe seemed to get lots of love and attention and I was relieved to get pictures of her while we were gone. I highly recommend her.
Abigail was over the top incredible! So kind, communicative, and reassuring. She did great adjusting to our high energy pups, sent many videos and photos, and left our home in better condition than she found it. She was a joy to have and I'd recommend her to anyone!
When we had someone cancel a week before our trip I panicked!! Thankfully Michelle was available and she did a phenomenal job. She followed our care instructions and has excellent communication. Even without meeting her before our booking I just felt at ease leaving Kona in her care. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her anytime we need a sitter.
He was very communicative and kept us updated with photos and text messages. Our pet loved him and was very happy obviously while we were away. it was a privilege to have come across such a great person. will surely work with him in the future, no doubt about it.thanks thousand times for such an outstanding service.
Courteney is a fantastic pet sitter, I highly recommend her! She took great care of my new puppy and older pets, providing updates to ensure I felt comfortable leaving them in her care. Courteney even got my shy shepherd-lab mix, Bailey, to come out of hiding, typically an impossible feat for someone who just met her! We will definitely use Courteney again!
Riley was able to help us out last minute after our dog sitter cancelled. It was my first time using Rover so was a little nervous but after meeting Riley, we automatically knew our pup was in good hands. Riley was communicative and sent daily pictures so it helped us enjoy vacation knowing we didn’t have to worry about our pup. We would definitely use Riley again and recommend her to anyone!
Shelby was absolutely fantastic!!! She took amazing care of our two kittens and our home while we were away on vacation for the week. Shelby was so easy to communicate with and sent us daily updates and pictures. She also left our home exactly how we left it and helped bring in mail and packages throughout the week. Our babies were well cared for and we will absolutely be using her again!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred New Rome walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in New Rome maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in New Rome choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
