About: I have had dogs since the day I was born and am currently mommy to one dog, four cats, two goats and a sassy pet cow. I am located on a three acre farm on the outskirts of town in Marysville, Ohio, and offer services to most surrounding areas. I offer boarding, daycare, house/farm sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, livestock/exotic care, and more! I can assure you that your pet(s) could not possibly be in better hands! They will get all the love and attention that I would give my own ....and then some. I look forward to caring for your furred, feathered, hooved, and scaled family members real soon! :) My life and schedule is centered around my animals. I own a trailer rental company and can alter my schedule however is needed to make sure all animals in my care and on my schedule are well cared for. I care for my clients pets as instructed and love them as if they are my own. Animals rule the world here at the farm and are allowed on all furniture and beds. Roughly an acre is securely chain link fenced and gated for plenty of outdoor exercise, weather permitting.
“I've never used this app before so I was a little nervous about it. But Chelsea made my first experience a great one! She answered all of my questions and even sent me a picture of my puppy! Very comforting to know my pup is in good hands while I'm at work!”
“Katarina did another fantastic job! If I had not missed the last review window (app challenged), she would have another 5-star review! Katarina plays with the youngest of three and is very gentle and attentive with the elders during drop-in visits. She's very punctual and let's us know when she's running a few minutes late or needs to be a little early. Highly recommended!!”
About: I have worked in veterinary medicine for 5 years and am comfortable with older pets or those that need special care. I’ve had pets my entire life and love caring for them! I am primarily available on weekends due to my job in veterinary medicine. I am typically free on Wednesdays and later in the evenings on other weekdays. I feel every pet is unique and has a different personality which requires individualized care. I will work with you to best meet your pets’ needs and love them as though they’re my own.
About: I truly love animals, and I have real hands-on experience that helps me care for pets of all ages and personalities. I also have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and large breeds. In my home town, I cared for Great Danes, so big dogs don’t intimidate me at all I’m confident, calm, and know how to handle them safely. Overall, I’m sweet, patient, and truly dedicated to making every pet feel safe and loved while you’re away. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can give pets my full attention and adjust easily to your needs. I’m available throughout the week for drop-ins, walks, feeding, medication, and extra cuddle time. I love staying active, so taking dogs out for walks and playtime naturally fits into my daily routine. My open availability lets me focus on each pet individually and make sure they’re getting the care, love, and consistency they deserve. In my home, I make sure every pet has a safe, comfortable space. I have dog crates available, a fully fenced yard for outdoor time, and I always supervise pets when they’re outside. I keep a calm, clean environment and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications they need. When I care for pets in my client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and attention to detail. I focus on keeping your pet’s normal routine, giving them affection, play, and structure. I send regular updates so you always know how they’re doing.
About: I have been caring and owning dogs for over 5 years. I have most experience dog sitting and walking; and I am most excited to meet all your fury friends! I have roughly 2 and a half years of house sitting. Whatever it may be: cleaning, cooking, dog-walking, dog sitting, etc. I can do it! No matter how busy I might be, I will always make time for animal care. Weekends and MWF are always the best days when it comes to animal care, as Tuesdays and Thursdays are my slightly busier days. But morning to night, I can handle feedings, potty breaks, and play time. My own pets are on a schedule for feedings and playtime and walks. I guarantee that no matter the pet, whatever is needed for your fur babies, I will fulfill it. I personally love a good cuddle on the couch and a walk on some nature trails to stretch those legs, but anything from pet yoga to swimming, I'll make sure any animal is taken care of.
“First time using Kylie to watch our dog and went very well. We will definitely look to rebook for our next trip. Did well with our dog, kept the house tidy, and was very informative. Highly recommend.”
About: I bring years of personal, pet care care experience to the table, meaning I know how to smoothly manage daily routines and adapt to any temperament. I thrive on being outside and stay highly active. If your dog needs to burn off energy, or have extended outdoor play. However, I am just as happy relaxing. I prioritize keeping your pet on their regular schedule to minimize stress, guaranteeing you reliable communication and total peace of mind I recently graduated and currently have a completely flexible schedule, giving me plenty of availability to dedicate to your pets. Whether you need morning walks, midday drop ins, or consistent daily care, I have the time and flexibility to ensure your dog gets all the attention they need When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining a secure, calm, and familiar environment. I strictly follow your house rules and feeding schedules, ensure all doors and backyard gates are securely locked, and provide attentive supervision to keep your dog safe and comfortable at all times.
About: I have over 7 years of pet care experience, both through Rover and privately, and I’ve had the pleasure of caring for all kinds of dogs, from Pit Bulls and Boxers to Corgis and Dachshunds! I also have experience caring for my own Husky and cat, so I understand that every animal has their own unique personality, needs, and quirks. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and takes time to warm up, or just wants someone to cuddle with, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I truly love getting to know each pet individually and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. To me, pet sitting is about so much more than just stopping by to feed and walk your pets. It’s about giving them the attention, patience, and affection they deserve! ❤️🐾 I currently am a full time early education teacher!! I do this as a part-time job! I do my best to make pet care fit comfortably into my schedule while making sure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I’m happy to communicate with you ahead of time to discuss your pet’s routine, your expectations, and the timing that works best for everyone. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away, so I always aim to keep them as close to their normal routine as possible. Communication is important to me, and I’ll be upfront about my availability so you can feel confident knowing your pets are in good hands! Your pets are family, and I treat them that way! I know how hard it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, so I want you to feel completely comfortable trusting me with them and your home. I prioritize keeping pets safe, following your instructions carefully, securing doors and gates, using leashes responsibly, and being mindful of their surroundings. I respect each pet’s boundaries and never force interactions if they need a little extra time to feel comfortable with me. I also believe communication goes a long way, so I’m happy to send updates, photos, and little check-ins while you’re away. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away without worrying, knowing your pets are being cared for with patience, love, and attention.

My schedule is typically either 7:15am-4:30pm with a break from 12-1pm or 10:30am-7:30pm with a break from 1-2pm. I am willing stop by to perform pet care during my breaks at work depending on the distance. I get my schedule out a month in advance and typically schedule my personal (trips, obligations, appointments etc.) a month ahead of time as well I have experience administering medication, feeding, changing litter box, dog walking, and of course giving lots of love and affection and play time to pets.
About: I got my first puppy when I was 14 and and I’ve taken great care of him and my other pets since then! I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and I know how to take care of them. I will walk, clean, or spend time with your dog anytime you’d like! I’m always available to spend time with doggies and I’m mainly available in the mornings/afternoon but sometimes can fit in a night visit as well. I make sure to leave the clients home in as good condition as I found it. I try to not make any messes and entertain the dogs
“Rebecca is WONDERFUL! She took care of our two cats while we were traveling recently and she really put our minds at ease. She stopped by to meet the cats before our trip so I could go through all the things with her. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future. Thank you, Rebecca!”

“Before working with Amanda, Ranger was reactive and unsure of new people, so finding someone to watch him was stressful. Now he absolutely loves staying with her. She understands his personality and keeps things structured but fun, which helps him stay calm and confident. Amanda updates me throughout his stay and even keeps up with his training while we’re gone. He always comes home happy, relaxed, and better than ever. I wouldn’t trust anyone else!”

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ostrander is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $34 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 2,389 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ostrander. 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.

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.
