About: With eight years of experience caring for pets, I bring a thoughtful, patient approach to every visit. I have a background in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), which has given me a solid foundation in reading behavior and using reinforcement to praise desirable behavior. While my professional ABA experience is with humans, I've found that it translates well with my own cat and other animals I've been responsible for. My schedule is completely open, so I can easily work around your pet's routine! Early mornings, late nights, or anytime in between - whenever they need me. While in your home, I try to stick closely to your pet's typical routine and treat your home with care, keeping it clean and tidy so it feels untouched while you're away. I'll also send regular updates to keep you connected and informed. I'm always mindful of safety throughout every visit. I watch for hazards, double-check leashes before walks, and carefully research any medications to ensure they're given correctly and on schedule.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I have experience with a range of pet sitting needs and always try to cater to your needs. I work full time throughout the week but am available early morning and then mid-afternoon through evenings. My weekends are very available. Other than my work hours of about 8-4, I will cater my schedule to your pets needs. I will always listen to you on what you and your pet need. I take care of your pet and your home as if it’s my own to make sure everything is safe, clean, and cared for properly.
“Heidi sent several photos for each drop-in, gave our dogs the opportunity to be out for the full hour each time, and was very communicative regarding how they ate. We greatly appreciate that she was reliable and honest!”
About: Hi! I grew up with 4 dogs and now have a dog myself. I am the trusted pet sitter for my friend group and family. I have two senior cats and years of experience in cat shelters. I have oral medication administration skills as well as a background with all breeds and temperaments. I work a 9-5 but can take long lunch breaks. Other than that I am wide open! Weekend availability and am available most days after 5pm. I care for my senior cats by making sure they have plenty of attention, play time, and food of course. I anticipate their needs and make sure they have plenty attention or space if that’s what they want.
“Nathan took amazing care of our pup when I was out of town. He sent me lots of pictures and videos and I could tell how much he loves dogs! So grateful to have found him and will definitely book him again.”
“Zach was so incredible!!! He sent frequent updates and pictures of our cats. I cannot recommend him enough! He is such a kind person and the cats loved him! They were so well taken care of. Thank you so much!! 🥹”
“I'm so happy we found Andrea! My dog is always good with new people but rarely makes a new BFF upon first meeting like he did with Andrea, the dog whisperer. When I mention that Andrea's coming over, I've gotta watch out for that helicopter-butt-whip-tail. Pretty sure our boy may actually prefer Andrea to us at this point 🤣 She's just so GOOD with our dog Morty, a pit mix, who while is very sweet, could appear intimidating...but not to Andrea! And he's been noticeably happier since Auntie Andrea came onto the scene. She's also super communicative, very reliable, and as a person, an absolute pleasure. I trust Andrea completely and will happily recommend her to anyone looking for dog/pet care from someone that legitimately cares for and loves your pet(s) like their own. She's the absolute best!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family fostered and cared for cats, which sparked my lifelong passion for animal care and behavior. Professionally, I’ve worked in a dog daycare, pet store, and boarding environment, and have spent the past two years working at an animal shelter. Through these roles, I’ve gained hands on experience caring for cats, dogs, reptiles, and small mammals. I am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and have experience working with canines who have behavioral challenges such as stranger danger, reactivity, and resource guarding. I am trained in reading canine body language and adjusting my approach to help pets feel safe and comfortable. Cats are also a particular passion of mine. In addition to caring for social cats, I have experience socializing feral and semi-feral cats and working with shy or nervous kitties who need extra patience and understanding. I am also comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and caring for multi-pet households. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work at an animal shelter Wednesday through Saturday. Because of this, I am primarily available Sundays through Tuesdays for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting services. I may have drop in availability the other days after 7 pm. I do my best to keep my availability up to date and will always communicate clearly about scheduling so you know exactly what to expect. My goal is to keep your pets as comfortable as possible by maintaining their normal routine while you’re away. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels, so I tailor my care to each individual animal. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, enrichment activities, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and respectful presence nearby, I am happy to meet them where they are. I prioritize safety, patience, and positive interactions, especially with nervous or shy pets. Communication is extremely important to me. During visits, I provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Shannon has done such a great job taking care of my pup Walter for the past couple of weeks! She is punctual, professional, and informative. I would recommend Shannon’s pet care to any and all people in Columbus!”
“Lexi is a five star sitter. My two scaredy cats— typically who like to hide from strangers— warmed up fairly quick. Lexi is extremely communicative, friendly, and thoughtful. Left my home better than I left it when I went on my trip (cleaned the area around food and water as well as the litter box). An absolute recommend from me!”
About: I have been a vet assistant, I’ve worked with horses, cats, dogs, birds, lizards, and snakes. I always go the extra mile and believe that pets deserve the very best. I was a vet assistant and specialized in “difficult “ pets. I will go at your pets speed, whatever helps them be more comfortable. If your pet needs more time to adjust, I will give them that. I take care of your babies as if they were mine, I will give them love and attention with boundaries. I specialize in difficult cases. If your pet needs a little extra time and attention that’s no problem.
“Jocelyn is our go-to person when we need someone to care for our 2 cats! She always shows up on time, gives the cats lots of love, and provides good updates during the visits!”
About: Hello My name is Ryan, I have been dog sitting for over 10 years as well as raising dogs of my own! Black labs. Border collies, German Shepherds and I currently have a Great Dane puppy who is my whole world! I would enjoy the opportunity to treat your dog as my own and give them all the attention they deserve! I typically work 2 days a week so I have plenty of availability! I enjoy building Legos and walking to the nearest coffee shop in German village! My Great Dane is one of my best friends!

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 Obetz 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.
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 Obetz 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Obetz with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
