I have had at least one dog in my life since I was two and taking care of dogs is exciting to me. I love playing with them, feeding them, taking them on walks, and just plain loving them!

If you need someone who is willing to work with your schedule, I’m pretty flexible on most days. I’m here to work with you and your dogs needs to satisfy the affection for them! I currently live in a studio apartment, so boarding at my house gets a little crowded but I am more than willing to make trips.

Safety is my number one priority.

About: I've lived with animals since I was ten. I have a four-year-old dog named Bandido who I've loved and trained since he was a puppy! Before I had Bandido, I volunteered for four years at my local animal shelters to help out with caring for the animals along with loving my late family dog, Max. I’ve been doing Rover for about two years now, on and off. I am able to come at scheduled times or at random! I am very flexible as I am a photographer for local businesses around Columbus! I also love to photograph animals as I am a freelance photographer so if I receive your permission, I can take a couple photos of your fur baby for your family gallery! I host karaoke on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-2am! When I’m not at work, I am at home as much as possible. I usually take the dogs on a walk in the morning, sometimes, if permitted, to my local coffee shop and farmers market to allow as much adventure and socialization as possible! I also have a dog park in my apartment complex that houses the friendliest dogs I’ve ever met! I ensure that the animals I care for, follow their regular routine and schedule that has been set for them. I don't like leaving them alone all the often so if I am gone for more than what they are used to, I will either leave them with a comfortable set up, or crate them. Ultimately, I listen to the animals needs! Ensuring their comfort while their parents are gone is number one to me.

About: I grew up with dogs from a very young age and have two dogs of my own. I have experience taking care of senior dogs, administering medication, and creating a comfortable environment for each pet based on their individual needs. I work pretty standard hours during the day with some opportunities for flexibility, so if you have odd hours or are running late, I'm more than happy to run over and take care of your pets needs! While I don't offer pets to stay in my apartment, I take care to assess each pets specific needs in their environment and find ways to address those needs. I have had several thorough background checks as part of my job and will be sure to respect and secure your space upon arrival and departure.
“We have a temperamental little guy and so leaving him behind while we travel is always a bit of a headache. Austin put all our worries to rest - he somehow managed to get Leo to come out of his hiding spots and also communicated with us throughout their visits together. Austin sent us daily photos which made being away so much easier! 10/10 would recommend Austin to anyone who is looking for special care for a high maintenance cat!”

Nicole was fantastic from start to finish. We had our care giver cancel the night before our trip and Nicole happily jumped in to help last minute. She visited our pit mix several times a day and sent us photos of her activities and even cleaned her up when she rolled in poop! I would recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Obetz is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $43 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 2,504 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Obetz. 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.
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 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.
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.

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 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.
