About: I’ve had animals my entire life and bring both experience and genuine care to every pet I watch. I was raised on a farm surrounded by animals, and I’ve owned dogs for most of my life, including a small dog I cared for over 16 years. I currently have an 8-month-old Golden Retriever puppy, so I’m very comfortable with puppy energy, routines, and reinforcement of basic training. I work as a teacher Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM. Because of this, I’m most available for pet care in the mornings, evenings, and overnight stays during the week. My schedule also allows for consistent availability on weekends, holidays, and school breaks, which gives me extra flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and extended care. When caring for pets, I prioritize maintaining their normal routines and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship outside of my work hours.
“Darren took such great care of our particular boy! Koda struggles to eat when we go out of town and Darren was great with communicating if he ate or not and how long they got to walk for. Koda loved seeing Darren! Thanks for everything!”
About: I grew up in a house full of animals! I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils, and fish since I was a kid. I dog-sat and cat-sat for my neighbors growing up. I also have 2 cats of my own now 🙂 I work full-time as an SLP at an elementary school. I wanted to keep doing this on the side because I love animals ☺️ I am not available weekdays until after around 4:30/5pm. I am free all day on weekends, though! I am off for summers so May 23-August 1 I am available all day! I will ensure that your pet’s harness and/or leash is secure. I will make sure to keep doors closed to ensure your pet does not get out.

“Alexa was AMAZING! We will definitely be using her in the future when we need a cat-sitter! Getting all of the pictures and the videos of Reece while we were away made it so much easier to be away. Alexa was super communicative and made things so easy. 10/10 would recommend”
About: I am a stay at home mom and I love spending time with animals and being active. I've always owned at least 1 dog and cat until just recently and now my house seems too quiet! I have experience with large dogs (our previous dog was a doberman) and small dogs (I have grown up with corgis) I am a stay at home mom and as of now, my schedule has been pretty flexible. I am up at 5 am every morning to start my day. I have a large yard and an electric fence. We also have plenty of room for crates if needed or can section off parts of our home for the pet to have their own space.
“Alyssa was beyond amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our pets. I went out of town for a few days, and while my husband worked long hours she was able to help out a few hours each day to give our youngest pup a break out of the cage and take of our other pets that included guinea pigs and a bunny. Sadly, one of my daughter's guinea pigs became very sick and Alyssa was on top of notifying me right away and willing to go above and beyond to do anything to help out with me being 500 miles away from home. I strongly recommend Alyssa to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“We had a wonderful experience working with Jessica! Jessica took care of our two kittens for about a week while we were on vacation. She was SUPER responsive, quick to reply, and gave us regular updates. It was such a relief knowing our cats were well taken care of while we were away! Our cats were happy and well cared for when we returned. We absolutely would recommend her, and will definitely be booking again in the future!”

About: My husband and I have been "boarding" friends' dogs for over 8 years now! We are HUGE dog lovers and have always owned medium to large sized dogs in our home from boxers and mutts to German Shorthaired Pointers. We have pet sat for a variety of breeds, including pits, shepherds, shitzus, labs and numerous other breeds. All of the dogs in our own family go through obedience training and we exercise them regularly! We are both avid exercisers and outdoors people. We have over 2 acres for your dogs to explore, run, sunbathe and more. I am also a runner so I am willing to run with your dog or take them on a hike!

Additionally, she has a very high attention to detail and is very consistent with her services. I highly recommend her services and will be re-booking in the future!”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Pickerington 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 Pickerington 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.

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 Pickerington 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.
