About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years and currently have two dogs of my own experience-wise, including raising one from a puppy. My first dog was a rescue who was a beloved member of my family until she passed away in 2024, which taught me a lot about patience, routine care, and caring for a dog through all stages of life. I also have a senior dog who is 12 years old, so I’m familiar with the extra attention and care older pets sometimes need. While I haven’t owned a cat myself, I’ve spent time around cats while visiting friends and family and am comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Pet care is already a consistent part of my daily routine since I have dogs of my own. Each day I’m used to feeding, walking, playing with, and checking in on them, so caring for animals fits naturally into my schedule. Because I work part-time as a swim instructor in the mornings and have lighter hours outside of that, I have plenty of flexibility during the day and evening to care for other pets. On a weekly basis, I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and parts of the weekend, and I’m comfortable adjusting my schedule to meet a pet’s needs and routine. Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for pets. In my own home, I care for my dogs by keeping a clean, calm, and safe environment. I make sure they always have fresh water, proper feeding schedules, and regular exercise. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I prioritize keeping them comfortable and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home through drop-ins or walks, I respect each pet’s routine and follow all instructions carefully. I always make sure doors are secure, pets are safe before leaving, and I provide updates so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away.
“Oh my gosh - where do I start. I interviewed a few people because I’m a helicopter mom with some pups who are scared of fireworks. Michelle at our meet and greet had the dogs and I both so calm! We planned one visit but when my dog was stressed with the fireworks on our furbo camera, she came back as his little hero for an unplanned second visit. We are so so grateful and would recommend Michelle to literally anyone. THANK YOU”
“Maddie took great care of our cat while we were out of town. Communication was great from the initial meet and greet to the last visit. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Maurissa did a late request drop in visit for my dogs and even made time to do a meet and greet first. She was on time, communicated during and after the visit was complete. We will definitely reach out again!”
“Kam did the job as requested keeping my kitties sane and fed in their family's absence. It was a great help because our regular sitter was unexpectedly unavailable and I had only a matter of hours to secure a new sitter. They were responsive and made themselves available to us on very short notice. I greatly appreciated that-- then I could go on our family vacation with our worries.”
“My cat loved having Savannah come over every day. This is the happiest my cat has been after I took a long trip. She also helped me out by bringing in some packages that arrived while I was gone. I would be happy to use Savannah's services again in the future.”
“I was extremely pleased with Grace and how she cared for my fur baby. I took a bit of a chance on someone with no reviews, and I'm glad I did. My Dora is quite old, and normally I wouldn't have left her at this stage. I was concerned that Grace might be intimidated by her age and condition, but she jumped right in and assured me she would be in good and loving hands. I felt much better once I could see her attitude and maturity. Her visits were timely, as promised, and communication was right on the money. Knowing my concern for Dora, she even offered extra care, which I felt was a nice touch. Give her a chance if you can...I believe you will be more than satisfied.”
“Ava is communicative and our lab puppy LOVES her! She is flexible with our work schedules and coming in to feed/walk/play with our dog. She has been a godsend!”
About: My family has had pets my whole life. I’m a big animal lover! I’ve never met a dog. I didn’t love. Let me help you take care of and love your pets too! I have a part-time to full-time schedule. Availability will be updated two weeks ahead once I have my work schedule. I will usually still be available before or after these shifts. I have a pet with epilepsy, so I have more than just basic pet care experience. I make sure every pet gets all the love and care that they need. Im responsible and great at problem-solving and multitasking. I would be a great fit for your pet!
“Travis provided exceptional help with our two cats. He met with us ahead of time and asked thoughtful questions. He was prompt, communicative and sent detailed reports and pictures. We greatly appreciated his approach, he is highly recommended.”
“Melanie was so fantastic to our two cats! We have one shy girl and she actually came out and played with Melanie! We were expecting for her to never see our Lulu. She gave such great updates and sent so many pictures that really eased my anxiety about leaving them. Will definitely request her again!”
“Baileigh was such a kind and caring dog sitter! She was so accommodating and flexible to our dog’s special needs. The communication and updates gave us such peace of mind the entire time we were away ! She was also very respectful of our home and very considerate.”
“How we love Marae!! She is so kind and took such good care of our pups! I feel like I overloaded her with a lot of information to only care for our dogs for a day, but she followed everything so beautifully and went above and beyond. The photos helps me be confident that my dogs are taking care of. Honestly, my dogs are really chill, but I could tell in every picture that they were so comfortable with her and that meant the world to me. Please please book with her if you get the opportunity! I can’t wait to work with her again.”
About: I’m an avid animal lover. I will care for your pets like they’re one of my own. Each dog or cat is unique and I will enjoy getting to know your loved one and what makes them special! I specialize in giving all of the scratching behind the ears and the belly rubs. I especially love belly rubs! I’m a big fan of walks and a bigger fan of taking a walk with your dog! We will make sure to sniff out the entire neighborhood to find all of the good scents. In-house visits I can help out with whatever you need! Litter box cleaned? Check! Food and water? Check! Scratchings for a very good boy or girl? Check! Just let me know what you require and I will be happy to help!
“Sydnie is a life saver! I asked for her help at last minute ages she immediately was happy to take care of my senior dog, she is trusted and a person I will definitely consider for the future”
“Very friendly, readily available, and great communicators. I felt like my pet was happy and safe in their care and comfortable with them in our home. They even brought in a package for us from our doorstep. Great pet-sitters and we will definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Danielle is great! Went out of town for a week and she dropped in daily to feed and check on our cats. She constantly updated me about the pets and followed instructions we left for them. She is great!”

I cannot recommend Janell enough! I have such peace of mind when it comes to her checking in on our cats while we're away. She takes the time to play with them and even our shy cat comes out for her! I love that it's never a simple refill their food and water and go. She actually spends time with our babies and I love that!

As of July 2026, there are 1,225 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Pickerington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pickerington. On Rover:

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.
