“We could not have had a better experience with Casey caring for our pups! His communication was prompt, he arrived to every visit on time, he sent lots of pics while our dogs were in his care, and was just a rockstar with our three pups. We will definitely reach out to him again and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Alison is the best! She took extra time to socialize and play with our cats during the week. She sent detailed updates daily along with tons of great pictures. She showed so much care and attentiveness that I will 110% ask her to pet-sit again.”
“I’ll never use anyone else to look after my bad kitty when I’m away. Totally dependable and my elderly cat has warmed up to Kayleigh. Great photos and notes at each visit.”
“Shadia is very attentive and highly communicative! I left home knowing my cats were in excellent hands! She sent daily photos and kept us updated. She’s punctual, reliable and also thinks about the little things I never thought to ask about. She made our short vacation stress free!”
About: I have had dogs in my house my whole life, and for the past few years, I have been dog-sitting for numerous families for long periods of time. I am equipped to walk, let out, feed, administer medications, play, and take care of any other needs your dog may have. I work as a caregiver on Saturdays and Sundays for 6 hours each day, but otherwise, I can spend the rest of my time with your pup. I make it a priority to get any instructions my clients may have regarding their pup and make sure to follow them. I also make sure that I am always in earshot when in the home with the dog so that if anything happens, I can quickly act.
“Kim is absolutely the best at taking care of my senior dog Cali. She goes above and beyond to take care of her needs while I'm away. Kim gives updates and pics of her stay. Just a good person all the way around!!!!”
About: I have always been passionate about animals! My first job was in a pet kennel when I was 15. I walked, fed, and cleaned up after the animals there. I have always had pets in my house and have cared for many pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m currently working full time (three twelve hour shifts) at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. I will usually know my schedule in advance and can move some dates around if necessary. I am mostly free on weekends and evenings. I am very loving and compassionate to pets. I like to cuddle and play with them! I am reliable and timely. I ensure they are well fed, have a clean and safe living area, and go outside when necessary.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities for over 20 years.

About: I have had pets since childhood. Right now I am petless😞 so would love to take care of your babies! Please know you can trust they will get lots of love! I am currently unemployed and have lots of time to spend with your pet, playing or just sitting and loving them. Thank you for trusting and considering me. I will care for them by listening to what the owner instructs in either my home or theirs. Personally I think the pet is more comfortable in their familiar surroundings.

My schedule is flexible to allow time to care for your pets and their needs. Being able to keep their routine the same is important to me. At my apartment, I have 2 cats, who are well taken care of. Last year, my 18 year old chihuahua, Chi Chi, who is pictured with me, passed away. I miss her so much. I have not been able to get another dog yet and would love to be able to help out with your dogs and pets in the meantime. She was my world and was treated like the queen she was. You know the chihuahua breed, lol I am trustworthy and put God first in my life.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oberlin is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 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 1,442 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oberlin. 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise

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.
