“I highly recommend Kelly. She took great care of my cat, feeding him with clean dishes everyday and scooping his litter box. Because he is a hider and required no play time, she did not mind watering the plants on my small patio. She reported signs he was okay on every visit. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Allison is such a wonderful human being! She does a phenomenal job with my kitties. Always on time, follows my instructions to the letter, keeps the place tidy — but most importantly, she gives my cats affection and attention. The fact that they are obsessed with her speaks to how great she is with them! I can’t overstate how much peace of mind it gives me to know that my furry little darlings are in her care while I’m away.”
About: I've been a pet owner/care taker for most of my life both for my own pets as well as those of friends and family as needed. This just seemed like a fun way to make my love of animals into a pass-time! I currently work full time (9-5/M-F) but I love to fill my spare time with as many fuzzy friends as possible. Happy to pop in for a quick visit before or after work--bonus if snuggles and doting is encouraged! I'm a big fan of dotting I's and crossing T's--ie. making sure your home and babies are left secure and comfortable. Glad to crate anyone who needs it and perform any checks required!
About: I was raised on a farm and cared for all sorts of animals, and now i’m a vet teach assistant as well ! I’m a dedicated pet owner myself and do very well with animals of all ages and breeds 🐾💕 I currently work part time at a vet clinic 7a-5p T-F and would love to help care for your fur baby when i’m not in the clinic ! Your fur babies comfort is #1. Whether it’s playing, cuddles, a favorite show or blanket. If a baby needs their own safe environment and a crate is not already available I have options for the client to choose from as well as blankets, sometimes a safe space with an open door makes meeting new people far less scary!
About: I grew up with Susie (dog) and Corky (cat). I have helped many friends and neighbors care for their pets while they are away and enjoy walking, especially with a purpose! During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and am available during the morning, midday, afternoon and evening for pets' varied needs and I love to walk. I take your pets' care seriously and am committed to making them feel comfortable and meeting their needs. Each pet has a distinct personality and varied needs.
About: I have been taking care of pets all sizes and ages for over 6 years both in and out of the home. I make it my personal mission to love and care for your babies so you’re able to be away knowing they’re being cared for just the same. I am currently in school and working part time which gives me my evenings and weekends free to take care of your pets. I have my own fur babies at home and one of my own so finding time to take care of others pets when they need it not only benefits you, but also me! I have experience with all types of animals and their routines. I am experienced on crate and litter training, active or non active. I am able to keep up and adapt to any animals needs and create the best routine and environment for them.
About: Hi, my name is Hasti! I have just about 9 years of experience caring for my two dogs Lacey and Charlie. I have also worked at PetSuites in Dayton, Ohio, which is a pet hotel caring for dogs and cats. Just about anyone who knows me would vouch for my love of dogs and cats! In fact, I would say I prefer them to people! I will treat your fur babies as my own and make sure they have the best care while you are away. I know it is a huge stress on you to leave them with someone else, so I thank you in advance for putting your trust in me! My dogs~ •Lacey is a 9, going on 10, year old bichon frise and Shih-tzu mix (20 pounds). She loves people but is shy around other dogs. She loves to play fetch. Zero history of aggression towards other dogs or people. •Charlie is a 9 year old golden retriever (110 pounds). He is what you'd call a gentle giant; he loves making new friends and holding your hand. Zero history of aggression towards other dogs and people. *I can only accept dogs that do not have a history of aggression towards other dogs as I will have my two dogs home while your dog comes over* I am currently a senior in university with only one course left to graduate, so my schedule is very open. In addition to that I am working from home part time so I will have plenty of time for pet care. There is always someone in the house whenever I may be gone for a short while. Everyone in the household is an animal lover that will have the utmost care with your fur baby. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pet company. We will allow your pets full access to the house and on furniture.
“Part of me doesn’t want you to know how amazing Ann is so she’s available for me!!!! So responsive and loving towards my fur babies. I feel as though she’s a friend!”
“Juli was amazing with my pup, Sunny! Sunny is very timid and shy, and Juli was really patient with her. Sunny was even asking for belly rubs by the end of their first visit! I couldn’t recommend Juli enough, I will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Heather checked in on my kitties over my 4 day vacation and I could not be happier with how she took care of them. She was great with communication throughout and shared great photos/overview of each visit. Her experience with animals definitely shows in her interactions with pets and I feel truly at ease knowing my kitties are in great hands with her. :)”
“Anna was great with Freddie! She was quick to respond, played with him and gave him cuddles and treats, sent a detailed trip visit report, and added tons of pictures. I would have no issues rebooking her for future pet sitting needs.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little, dogs and cats. Have also had 3 dogs and a cat growing up! I can also take care of senior animals. I’m a full time student at Ohio State but mostly free in the morning and evenings and weekends! I am able to attend your animals when needed I am comfortable with anything. I am able to walk any kind of dog and be in an environment where I feel safe and can also put your animal in a crate if i feel uncomfortable.
About: Hi! I’m an Occupational Therapy student at The Ohio State University and a lifelong dog lover! I have a dog of my own back home in Cincinnati named Doodah, and I’m looking to spend some extra time around dogs while I’m at school. I’m happy to help with dog walking, pet sitting, drop-in visits, or whatever else you may need. I’m responsible, caring, and excited to meet your pup! I am currently a full-time student in class form 8-3 Monday-Thursday. I also work a part-time job, but I am free most afternoon/evenings on weekdays. I am pretty flexible with my schedule and could help on most weekends as well! I live in an apartment right now and would be happy to host your dog, but I probably only have space for one at a time! I have a great walking area around me with grass, as well as parks around me.
About: I grew up with dogs since I was 6 years old. While I don’t currently have a pet myself, friends and family have been able to rely on me to watch their pets while they are out for the day or on vacation. I have watched/been around many different kinds of dogs. I currently am working from home so I have a lot of flexibility with walking dogs, letting dogs out or even watching over night if that would be a need. I treat all dogs like my own. I love to go on long walks and would love to be able to take your pet on walks with me. I also just like to spend time with them and make them comfortable while their family is away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Upper Arlington
This was our second time using Julia, and we had another great experience! She is reliable, follows our dog’s routine closely, and makes it easy for us to feel comfortable knowing he’s well cared for while we’re away. We’ll definitely continue using her!
Jen watched my two senior dogs and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Marley can be slow to warm up to new people, but Jen was so patient and let her get comfortable at her own pace. She also took great care of Maisy and made sure both girls were happy and well cared for while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jen again. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, patient, and dependable.
Sadie-Jean took great care of our golden retriever Beau while we were gone for the day! She always goes above and beyond, and we never have to worry about Beau while we are gone when she is watching him! We have booked with her in the past and will continue to book with her in the future! Thank you so much Sadie-Jean!!
Lauren took great care of our golden retriever Beau while we were gone for the day! Lauren was very friendly, caring, had great communication, and provided updates and photos! Beau was very happy, and we will definitely book with Lauren again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Upper Arlington is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $29 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,538 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Upper Arlington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Upper Arlington 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. 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.
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 Upper Arlington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 94% 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
