About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for animals, and being an animal lover has always been a big part of who I am. I grew up with a dog and two cats and now have a senior dog of my own. I understand the unique needs and personalities of both dogs and cats. Beyond caring for my own pets, I've been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for years. I've also spent much of my adult life volunteering at animal shelters and fostering animals who need a little extra TLC or a break from shelter life. I'm experienced in all aspects of pet care, from walks, playtime, and feeding to providing extra patience and attention when needed. I've cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to sweet seniors, and dogs of all sizes and personalities. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands. I'll treat your pet like one of my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and showered with attention while you're away. I work from home and have a job where I can make my own schedule so it's easy for me to do dog walks or drop-in visits as needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! On walks, I pay close attention to my surroundings, make sure dogs are securely leashed, and let them enjoy their time outside at a pace that’s comfortable for them. If your dog has a favorite walking route or a routine they’re used to, I’m more than happy to stick with it! For drop-in visits, I’ll carefully follow your instructions and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable having someone new in their space. I also know that every pet has their own personality, and some days they may want lots of playtime while other days they just want some company and cuddles. I’m happy to follow their lead and give them whatever love, attention, and care they need!

I do offer care in my home but will also stay in your home and be clean and tidy and send as many videos and pictures as you request as your fur babies.
“Very happy with my first experience with Rover and having Beth take care of my babies! She is very reliable and followed all the instructions I left. Every day she arrived when promised and spent a good hour with my pets. I was provided reports and pictures to give me great peace of mind. Her communication was thorough and always really fast. I would definitely be happy booking her again in the future!”
“I was anxious about using rover for the first time, but Madison made it a great experience! She did a great job of keeping me updated and my kitty was taken care of well!”

“Courtney was professional and great with Sully. It is reassuring that she works at an animal clinic and knows how to take care of your pet’s specific needs. Will definitely have her come back for future visits.”
“Danielle was great - I felt confident my cats were in good care. Danielle is really easy going and goes above and beyond. We also had to make last minute changes to our schedule and Danielle helped with that!”

“Gwen did a wonderful job cat-sitting Lola. She left messages about each visit and noted anything of concern. She always sent a few photos after each visit as well. It made us feel better about being away, knowing Lola was ok. Gwen was a great sitter we would gladly rebook again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Upper Arlington
Leann is incredible! Our kitties were so comfortable with her on their first visit which means a lot. They can be very picky about who they trust. Leann was also excellent at communication and sent lots of pictures. We will be booking her for all future visits!
Sara does an excellent job taking care of our cats and our house. We have hired her several times for drop in visits while we are out of town. Our cats love her, she sends us great updates, and when we get home our cats are healthy and happy and our house is in great shape.
HB was very kind. She was prompt in her visits for my cat and got some cute pictures for me. HB took the extra time to sit with my cat and letting her get to know her, so at the next visits they would be friends. ☺️ I would recommend HB for a cat sitter to anyone!
I highly recommend Emma! Upon our first meeting, one of my cats was immediately obsessed with her. My other cat is a bit shy but curious, and by the end of the stay, she came out for pets! Emma was communicative, detailed, and completely reliable. I'll definitely be booking her again.
Gwen took fantastic care of our cat when we were away for a two-week long trip. I am always nervous about leaving my pet for so long, but with Gwen’s help I knew he was not only being cared for, but nurtured as well. Gwen came over every day to make sure Rue had company, and I am grateful I got to enjoy my trip knowing he was well looked after. Gwen is friendly, has great communication, and sends photos every day. She even left a very thoughtful gift at the end of her last visit. I would/will 1000% book with Gwen again, and you should too!!
Elizabeth was wonderful, she was able to help me last minute and took such good care of my two cats! She gave thorough updates, answered any questions I had about the cats while I was gone, and both cats seemed relaxed when I got back. I would definitely recommend her services!
Alyssa did a wonderful job checking in on our two kitties during a long weekend break. She made sure they had food, water, and playtime. Even our skittish cat, who usually hides around strangers, stayed out and let her pet and interact with him. We were amazed! 10/10 would recommend.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Upper Arlington is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $26 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
