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.
“Michelle was so amazing, what a life saver! Our cat is outside but needs meds. Michelle was so caring and thoughtful about making sure our cat got the pills, even on days where she was hiding and wouldn’t come out. Michelle’s updates were very detailed and allowed me to relax while on vacation. I’m so grateful!”
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of and watched various kinds of pets for my loved ones over the years. I am looking forward to providing compassionate care and attention to your loved pets, so that you can rest knowing that your pets are being taken care of while you are away! I have a part-time job with a very flexible schedule, so I am able to be flexible so that we can agree on a time that works for both of us! Some of my strengths are being very detail oriented and dependable. I will be able to follow your instructions very well and carry out services needed, to make sure that your pet and homes are well taken care of in the way that you want.
“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.”
“Always a friendly and professional experience when I book with Kam. I look forward to the next time I need her to ensure our cat is taken great care of in our absence. Well done.”
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!
“Ava was excellent director by her time as our sitter. She did drop in visits with our cat, and she was very communicative. We will use Ava again when we need to go out of town!”
“Savannah was easy to work with, quick to respond, prompt with the meet and greet time, and best of all, kind and caring to my two Chihuahuas. They showed zero signs of stress upon my return (which is not usual). I would use Rover again, it was so convenient and Savannah made me feel completely at ease. Great service given by all!”
“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 did a great job with our 4 senior cats! They all looked very happy and content when we got home. I highly recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate rebooking with her again.”
“Kayleigh did a fantastic job with my Finn. He is a high energy, anxious boy. She made him feel safe with her, and he seemed to be exhausted after every visit. I will absolutely be using Kaleigh in the future and would recommend to any of my friends and family!”
“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.”

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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Pickerington on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,634 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pickerington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pickerington. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
