“Watched my two cats during the holiday season. Was super responsive and caring for my girls!! She cleaned their litter, fed, and played with them. She made sure they were happy and cared for while I was away”
“Abby is great! This was my second time with Abby as my sitter & she did a great job at taking care of my pup Theo while I was out of town, I knew he was in good hands :) Abby is great at communication / providing consistent updates. I will continue to use Abby in the future!”
“Leann is perfect! This was my second time working with her and it was just as amazing as the first. So kind, communicative, and the cats love her. Leann is so trustworthy & also sends great photos and updates.”
“Carrie was great with Zoe! I was concerned as this was the first time Zoe was left with a sitter and she is a very shy, anxious dog who doesn’t make friends easily, so I knew there was something special about Carrie when Zoe went to her and immediately made friends! We were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about her! We appreciated the pictures and reports.”
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful with my 3 month old puppy, Olive! She came to our home twice on Tuesday for an hour long visit each time, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Rachel was incredibly attentive—she took Olive outside, spent lots of time playing with her, and even worked on teaching her new commands. It was clear that Rachel truly loves animals and took amazing care of my sweet girl. Olive had a great time and got both the exercise and mental stimulation she needed. I would absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and great with dogs!”
“Tracie took care of my pups while I was on a short 4 day vacation which was planned over 6 months ago. I have 2 Boston terrier dogs, Bev & Mandy, age 5 & 6. I had another Boston, Penny, who had a gran mal seizure on February 13 and is in heaven. Penny & Bev were like sisters, so Bev missed Penny a lot & I did also, so I decided an adopt a new dog for us. I adopted Bev through the Mid West Boston Rescue group, so I contacted them. They had a list of available dogs with a review of each pup. I saw a listing for Amanda AKC name who we named Mandy. Mandy was rescued from an an amish puppy mill. I felt immediate compassion for Mandy and I decided to adopt her. She was so scared. We had Mandy for a month before I could touch her. I got a trainer who started working with us. Then it was time for this long planned vacation to Florida with my son & family. I knew Mandy would be devastated to go to a dog kennel. Then I found Rover & Tracie. I read Tracie’s listing. Then we talked and then came over to our house. I gave you this long story so you know that Tracie was willing to help take care of Mandy & Bev Each day at 8 am & 5 pm I get a photos and a text from Tracie about her experience with Mandy. Mandy has improved so much with Tracie’s loving care. Mandy had just learned to walk with leash. Tracie takes the pups for a walk twice. She gives me detailed reports. Mandy is not so scared and improved so much. She still has to be be carried outside for her walk. I enjoyed my short vacation due to Tracie’s wonderful care. I am so grateful. I highly recommend Tracie. Thanks”
“Caitlyn did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away. She was very kind with her, and left detailed updates and pictures each day. I would definitely book her again!”
“I can't reccomend Taylor enough! She took such good care of my cats and lizard while we were on vacation for a week. We have a very shy and standoffish cat and it was clear to me that Taylor made them all feel so safe and comfortable based on how willing the cats were to let her snap pics of them every day - shes a great photographer too! Great communication, punctual, flexible (thank you again for feeding and keeping an eye on our bearded dragon!), and just all around a wonderful sitter who we will absolutely be booking with again. I would trust her in my home and with my pets any day. Thank you Taylor!”
“Elizabeth is wonderful! She went far and beyond when my cat Tigger was sick. She took excellent care of him. Even water my plants while I was on vacation. Highly recommend her for cat or house sitter.”
“Cindy did a great job taking care of my cat Noodle while I was out of town! He has some health issues so I was nervous about being away, but she kept me updated on his litter box and made sure he had his food, water, and medication each day.”
“Vanessa did a great job taking care of my cat Lucy while I was away for a few days. I appreciated the pictures she sent during her visits. I would recommend her to other pet parents.”
“Emma was amazing with my cat, Toast! She was communicative, reliable, and even stayed extra some nights to give him more cuddles and attention. I felt completely comfortable trusting her with my home and pet, and I'd definitely recommend her to others.”
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 grew up caring for medium and large dogs, and for the past few years I’ve been a devoted cat dad. Friends often ask me to look after their pets because they know I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with a variety of pet personalities and routines, and I take pride in making dogs and cats feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their people are away. I am currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible. I am generally available any day of the week and can accommodate most scheduling requests as long as I am given advanced notice. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by trying to follow their normal routines to the best of my ability. In your home, I make sure they get the right balance of attention, exercise, and quiet time. I handle feeding, walks, litter care, play time, and any special instructions with care and consistency. I always check in with updates so you know how your pets are doing, and I aim to create a calm, safe environment where dogs and cats feel relaxed while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Upper Arlington
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.
Anna was really great at taking care of Berkeley. She was very attentive and communicated really well. She followed my long list of instructions and didn't miss a single one. She gave me an update during every visit and responded to my messages so quickly. She also sent a bunch of photos and videos, and I knew Berkeley was in good hands and well cared for. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone who needs a great and caring cat sitter. I will definitely book her again next time. 😊
Cindy is great! Have used her a few times I’ve gone out of town and she’s always very reliable. I had an issue with my electronic lock and missed when she reached out. Once I messaged her with a backup code she went right back over. Would absolutely recommend having her watch your pup!
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!!
Alex D. was the perfect cat sitter for our 7 year old Ellie. With this being our first time to use Rover, we were not sure what to expect, but Alex definitely reassured us. She kept us informed through photos and correspondence, and it was wonderful to see that our shy Ellie totally trusted Alex and willingly greeted her each day and let her pet her. We highly recommend Alex and so appreciate her care and understanding of cats.
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!
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!
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. ❤️

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.

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.
