“If there was a way to give Liz six stars on here, then I would want to give her seven stars. She is spectacular taking care of our pups. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter”
“Emberly was spectacular. She helped us out with very short notice, taking care of three dogs that can get pretty rowdy. She handled our sick puppy with the care, love, and affection Dottie needed, even though Emberly didn’t know until the night before how much specialized care Dottie would need. My wife and I greatly appreciate Emberly’s help, and we would definitely use her again.”
“Madelyn was wonderful with my dog and 2 cats. The house was all in great condition when I arrived back home. She sent pic updates during her stay and was easy to follow up with. I will be rebooking her again!”
“This is the second time that Bailey has watched our dog, and we love her! She really cares about him, and that means so much to us. She always sends pictures of him and follows our instructions perfectly, and we can tell that he really enjoys her company. We’re happy to have her as a pet-sitter for our boy!”
“Kam did an excellent job and was a pleasure to work with. She is very communicative and thoughtful. Our dog - who is usually quite anxious - was extremely comfortable and relaxed with her while we were on vacation, even over the 4th of July when loud noises usually bother him. Kam stayed at our home and sent lots of cute dog pics while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Ashleigh was a wonderful sitter!! Not only did she take fantastic care of the dogs, she also took care of some issues that happened at the house while we were gone. I appreciate everything she did before she left the house at the end of the booking. She’s exactly what you would want taking care of your animals. I will definitely be seeking her out again in the future.!! Thank you so much, Ashleigh!!”
About: Hi! My name is Marae. A little about me: I grew up in a home filled with a love for all animals, especially dogs and cats. From feeding and grooming to playtime, giving medication and comforting them when they were anxious, I learned early on how to understand their unique personalities and needs. Because animals have always been such an important part of my life, working with them feels completely natural to me and I truly enjoy it! When I worked at a pet boarding facility, I cared for a wide variety of dogs and cats, each with their own routines, personalities, and preferences. I always made it a priority to ensure every pet felt safe, comfortable, and loved while their families were away. I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m also a proud cat mom to three: Luna Storm, Chanse the Rapper (he talks a lot, hence the name), and Giovanni Grey. My schedule is flexible and I am normally available even with little notice. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet soon! Im currently working a full time work at home job. Im typically off by 3:00pm but can be off earlier if need be! :) I also have a lot of time open on the weekends. I have a lot of experience taking care of others animals! Something I'm most proud of is being able to read body language and reactions from each pets as each are so different!
“Angie took great care of our dog and cat while we were out for a weekend. She shared pics and updates, and coordinated to stay a little longer the day of our return when our plane was delayed. We came home to happy pets and a well kept environment. I am very grateful to Angie for taking care of our pets like we would.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 4 years, i have 2 dogs and 1 cat at my house so i’m very used to how they act, crazy or calm. I’m currently able to do full time for drop ins, walks and house sitting. I can do Mornings, afternoon and evening for your animals! I am also very flexible on weekends and can accept last minute bookings if needed. I leash my dogs when they go outside so i can do that with other dogs, i love to do tricks for treats with them and teach new tricks just for fun, i also love to take dogs on walks and make them feel comfortable with what they normally do on a daily basis.
“Kathy has been absolutely wonderful to work with! I have two dogs, a senior Vizsla and young Boston Terrier. I hired Kathy to pet sit for three days, several hours each day. Kathy went above and beyond to make my pets feel comfortable! She engaged with them, sent pictures throughout the day and let me know how they were doing. She also had great communication prior to the booking. I will definitely hire Kathy again.”
About: From the time I was old enough to ask “can we keep him” I’ve always taken care of my best friends. From walking them 3 miles to the vet (before I was old enough to drive) to daily feedings, bathing, grooming and of course, treats! While I spoil the pets, I’m always sure to give them the highest grade food and treats. I believe they deserve the best. Diet and exercise are important. A daily regiment of “fetch” is highly recommended by Duke, the black lab! I would love to take care of your best friend and ensure he/she is given the highest quality of care while keeping Duke company (Duke plays well with others.) I’ve been working from home for the last seven years. I always have time to make sure the water bowls are full and play time is given. Who says you can’t work from the patio while throwing a ball for fetch? Duke and I have a great fenced in yard for plenty of play time and potty breaks. All vegetation is harmless for pets. Grass is well groomed and “yard bombs” removed daily (or as often as required).
“Faith was amazing with our dogs again! Our dogs don’t love strangers but they warmed up to her quickly. Our area even had severe storms and she took the dogs to the basement and shared updates. I definitely recommend Faith!”
“Aspen watched my house of animals for a weekend and both my husband and I felt very confident leaving them with her. The dogs loved her Right away when she initially came over to meet them. We received wonderful photos of all the animals during the weekend and they seemed to have such a great time! When we got home everyone was so happy and healthy. We really appreciated having Aspen watch our zoo!”
“Darren was fantastic!!! His love for animals is very evident. He is very responsive and he sent a ton of pictures and updates along the way. I will definitely be using Darren again in the near future.”
“Halina was absolutely wonderful with my girl Ruby! She kept me updated and sent great photos. I was able to work out of town knowing my girl was taken well care of. Thank you so much!”
“Laken was instant friends with our little guy! She communicated very well and made us feel like Otto was in good hands. Otto looks forward to spending more time with Laken! Thank you! 😊”
“Brittany was a hit with our Sheltie from the very first meet & greet! She kept me updated on how they were doing. Which is a blessing especially when you are out of town attending a funeral. You definitely do not want to worry about your fur babies!”
“Eva was amazing with our dog Lola. Took her on walks, kept to her schedule, and gave her lots of love and belly rubs. She sent us daily pictures and let us know how things were going. We could not have asked for a better sitter and she definitely is a dog lover. Lola was sorry to see her go.”

Liz was once again spectacular. She is our go to sitter, and she came through for us once again. She was amazing, taking care of one our pups who was sick and continued to be sick during her stay. We knew our little one was in great hands with Liz, even when she had to be sick in the middle of the night. Liz was our all star
Tatum did a great job taking care of our dog. She sent us several photos while we were gone and went out of her way to accommodate our dog's unique habits. She even got to our house during a Level 3 snowstorm to make sure our dog was well taken care of. She was determined to get to our home in the middle of that storm and cleared a path for our dog to go out in the yard. Thank you for taking such great care of our dog.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pataskala
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pataskala on Rover is $31.08 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,502 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pataskala. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Pataskala 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 Pataskala 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.
Tip: 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 Pataskala 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
