“Leann was a wonderful caretaker for my pup! She took excellent care, helped him take his medication, and made sure he got plenty of outside time. We got daily pictures to help put us at ease. She even gave love to our cat and brought in our packages without being asked! Highly recommend!”
“Anna was great with my cats. She was really responsive when booking and took lots of notes when we went through the care plan. She even got my skiddish cat to come out by then end of her time with them, which is huge because he doesn’t like strangers. Will happily book again.”
“Abby was really kind and great all-around! She was very responsive and sent lots of pics and updates about our cat while we were away. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for someone to take care of your pet!”
“Cindy made my first time using Rover an stress-free experience. I love my cat and I’m always terrified having people that I don’t know watch him. Cindy from the start was so nice and she made sure that he would be taken care of while I was away. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Carrie is lovely. This was my first time booking a sitter and I couldn’t have been happier. My little one suffers from separation anxiety- but she was so relaxed being with Carrie. I would highly recommend her!”

Taco, my cat definitely appreciated the timely meals 😆, churu treats ☺️ and play time. Definitely will continue with her for future bookings.”

“Kelly is amazing!! We had to extend our trip due to flight cancellations and she was willing to add additional days so our cat was taken care of which was a huge relief!!”
“Megan has been doing drop in visits with our 3 year old golden retriever, Weston, since August. Megan does a wonderful job and is so attentive with Weston. He feels completely comfortable with her and loves when she visits. She is great about communicating with us and loops us in on how visits have gone. We are very grateful for Megan and will continue to book drop ins with her.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Upper Arlington
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!
Sadie-Jean is incredible at her job. The thorough updates and pictures make me feel comforted as I’m away. She’s amazing with instructions and demonstrates amazing attention to detail. I think I trust her with my cat more than myself! I highly recommend anyone utilizing her services!
Great experience! Sarah took excellent care of Jamie during her drop-in visit, and kept me updated with photos and details of her visit. Jamie looked happy and comfortable in Sarah’s care. Sarah was reliable, professional, and easy to communicate with. I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend to other pet owners.
We couldn't be happier that Audrey took care of Gary and Zoya during our 8-day vacation. Especially our girl Zoya, who's always scared of having other people in the house. Audrey won her trust with love and patience, and the photos she sent spoke volumes! Seeing Zoya so comfortable around her gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Recommended!! Will book again!
Alex is seriously the best! So kind and professional and our cats love her. She takes such great care of them and really goes above and beyond. I needed her to stop by last minute and she was more than willing to help. Highly highly recommend booking with her.
Overall did a good job! Came ahead of time to meet the cats, cleaned their litter and brought in packages from our porch. Biggest piece of feedback was I gave her a window of time I’d like the cats visited (3-7 pm) and she came in the morning one day and then asked again the next day - would recommend being very clear what times you need visits but overall she was receptive to the times we previously aligned on and ended up coming both evenings for visits.
While not an expectation, Melanie was able to add on one day with less than 12 hours notice because I got stranded in Chicago when my flight was cancelled! She has checked on my kitties millions of times and I would always recommend her, but really appreciated her willingness to help on short notice this time. ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Upper Arlington on Rover is $17.76 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 2,737 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Upper Arlington. 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 Upper Arlington 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 Upper Arlington. 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.
