“This was my first time using Rover and Anna did a great job taking care of my kitties! And she was always quick to respond. I would definitely book with her again! Thank you Anna!! ☺️”
“Lyndsey took fantastic care of our cat and home while we were away. She provided frequent updates and pics which we loved. She’s responsible and we’ll definitely be working with her again in the future”
“Emma has been the best sitter we’ve ever had! Our Cat Zagreus has never been calmer and happier after a week long trip. Emma was also great at communicating and was really proactive at taking care of Zagreus.”
“Rachel has watched my active, social cat twice now. I think both bookings were rather last minute and I appreciate how flexible and communicative she is. But more importantly, my cat loves her! He is more relaxed and less anxious when I return than when I've have other sitters watch him in the past. Highly reccommend!”
“Jerrica did everything that was asked. They spent time with my cat even though he was feeling unsocial, he was fed, water changed & litter changed. He did end up warming up to Jerrica eventually which is a huge plus. Will rebook when the time comes.”
“Madison was the perfect balance of professional and relational. She kept me updated on my cats with fun photos and even got my super shy cat to warm up and allow pets and even play (this is an actual miracle!). I will 100% have Madison pet/house sit for me again!”
About: Hello fellow pet parents! My name is Hannah and I am thrilled to offer my dog care services through Rover. With 4 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I understand the importance of finding someone reliable and compassionate to look after your furry family member. I currently have a very flexible schedule. On weekdays I can provide dog walks from 8 am to midnight. On weekends I am available during any time. In homes without a fenced-in backyard, I prioritize safe and enriching experiences for pets under my care. To ensure their well-being and happiness, I adhere to a structured routine that includes regular walks in the neighborhood or nearby parks. During walks, I maintain a vigilant watch over the pet, always keeping them on a secure leash and harness to prevent any accidental escapes. I choose routes that are pet-friendly, avoiding busy streets or areas with potential hazards.
“Kaitlyn was fantastic. It was so nice to be able to relax on vacation knowing my cats were well cared for! Kaitlyn send multiple updates and photos each day, and did so well entertaining my crazy kitten and comforting my lazy older boy. Will definitely book with Kaitlyn again in the future!! 🩷🩷”
“Allison is a super star! During our initial meeting, she took careful notes about my senior kitties’ needs, likes and dislikes, and I knew right away that they’d love her. And she was awesome! She gave them exactly what they needed, including affection and play, and kept everything tidy. I loved seeing the adorable photos and videos while I was away, and knowing my beloved pets were in such good hands made my trip that much more enjoyable! This was my first time using Rover - or any pet sitter! - and I could not be more pleased with the experience. Peanut Butter, Jelly, and I are delighted and grateful!”
“Ellen did an excellent job dropping by to take care of my two kitties. She was very responsive and did everything I asked for them. Would definitely have her cat sit again!”
“Shelby did a great job! She was great at communicating with me prior to the visits. The reports after were great as well. Shelby did a great job with following the directions. I would recommend her to others and look forward to using her again in the future!”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and have always been the one to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and cared for. I’m currently a proud cat mom to two cats who are quite literally my children, I truly believe pets are family and deserve all the love in the world. ❤️ My friends and family regularly trust me to look after their pets because they know how much I genuinely love animals. I even originally dreamed of becoming a veterinarian before pursuing my passion for fashion design! No matter what kind of pet you have, I’ll treat them like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and give them all the love and attention they deserve! 🐾 I work from home half of the week, which gives me extra flexibility to spend time with your pets! On weekends, I’m usually home spending time with my two cats, so I’d love to have some extra furry friends to keep me company. I’m happy to coordinate schedules and make sure your pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority! If watching a dog in my home, my cats will be put in a separate room for every pets well being! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll be sure to follow your instructions carefully. I’ll keep your home clean, make sure your pets have fresh water, food, exercise, and plenty of affection, and provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same love and respect I give my own two cats!
About: I had a dog from the time she was a puppy and I potty trained her, crate trained her and trained her in basic skills like sitting and how to properly walk on a leash. I love working with puppies and older dogs as well. I like to set up activities for them and interact with them a lot. I work during the week, so my weekend is free to care for your pets! I can be there from as early as 7am if you are hitting the road early for a road trip and I can be there typically until 9pm or if requested overnight. I can house sit and walk them, exercise them and set up activities to help your pup use their brains for social development and intelligence.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Upper Arlington
Carrie did a super job taking care of my three cats! She interacted with all three cats, even though one of them is very shy and often hides from people she does not know. Carrie sent photos after every visit as well as great notes sharing her observations of the cats and what she did during each visit. I would definitely use her again, and highly recommend her to other pet owners.
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.

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.

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.
