“This is the third time we've had Rebekah come to our home to take care of our fur babies and we will continue calling on her first because she is wonderful with our pets. She always goes the extra mile to make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of. We appreciate her so much and are thankful we can leave town knowing our fur babies are in good hands.”
“Ansley is a knowledgeable, communicative and attentive caretaker and went above and beyond to be flexible when I had to leave my 8-week-old puppy to go to an appointment. She gave me peace of mind and some sweet puppy photos. So thankful!”
“Lindsay is the sweetest, most professional and most kind person! She constantly communicated with me, sent me photos and videos, and even left report cards for my babies. But most importantly, she loved my babies like they were her own! They were so calm with her and she loved on them while we were gone! Book her immediately! You will not regret it!”
About: Hi! I’m Alexis, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so I know they aren’t “just pets”, they’re family. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and cuddly, or somewhere in between. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and to care for them just as I would my own. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry best friend, so I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages to give you peace of mind. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup and become someone you can trust whenever you need a helping hand! I'm a recent college graduate so I am home fulltime and have more than enough time available to love on your fur baby! There is nothing better than having furbaby love! I do not have a fenced in backyard but will be more than happy to take your furry baby on a walk, welcome them into my apartment and/or drop in and see how they are doing!
“Molly did such an amazing job at taking care of Finn. If you are in the Columbus surrounding area I highly recommend booking her to take care of your animals. Her communication and updates were nothing less than exceptional!”
About: Homeschool mom with a flexible schedule and love for animals! I treat every pet like part of the family—with patience, love, and gentle care. I’ve been around animals all my life. My husband is an experienced dog trainer. We would love to love on your babies while you enjoy your time away. Pet sitting fits beautifully into our daily rhythm, and your pets will be loved like part of our family. Being home most of the day lets us give extra attention to your babies! I’d be happy to help with pick-up and drop-off if needed. I’m flexible and can work around your schedule to make things easy for you and your pup! Just let me know the times that work best. We have a fenced-in yard, two sweet, friendly girl dogs, and one gentle elderly male dog. I’m home throughout the day, so your pet will have lots of love and attention. Having a fenced-in yard with plenty of room to run and play will give your babies the care and attention they deserve! Your dog will be in my home, where they’ll be spoiled, loved on, and treated like family. After some fun playtime outside, the cuddles happen inside—your pup will have a cozy space to relax and feel right at home.
About: Growing up, my family always had at least one dog, if not multiple. We have also had a couple cats. We currently have a black Lab named Luna. She is 5 years old and full of energy. We make homemade dog food for her and I’d be happy to share our recipe! Our fenced in backyard offers a large play area for your dog to run around and play. I have been house and dog/cat-sitting for over 10 years. I have experience with feeding, administering medications, walking, playing, brushing, as well as other household chores, as needed by my clients. I am an active person. I love running or walking with dogs, playing frisbee, fetch, and other activities. My day starts with caring for my dogs in the morning. I work from home so the dogs get frequent potty breaks and playtime. After work, I am home most evenings to care for your dog including walks. We have a fenced in backyard and a friendly black lab who loves to make new friends to play with in our backyard. Working from home means your dog won’t be left alone for an extended time period. We have an extra kennel for your kennel trained dog.
“Kristy was great! She took time out of her day to come meet Dolly prior to taking care of her. She asked such good questions to ensure she was taking the best care of my baby. I have no hesitation to recommend her to other families!”
“Mardelle was great with Bolt. She communicated well with me and provided pictures of Bolt having fun. Bolt also enjoyed his walks with Mardelle. I hope she will be available when needed in the future. Thank you for a great job Mardelle!”

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 .

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 Smiths Station 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.

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.
