“Leann is amazing and attentive, and takes such good care of our cat! This time she helped us over a holiday week, and I was so happy she was available again. Feel free to review my previous glowing review :) I felt bad that we had ants taking over the food bowls on her first morning here, but she came up with a plan and saved the day(s)! Our cat loves her and all the extra head scritches he gets when she’s here. Thanks again, I appreciate both the pet care and the heads up and vigilance with the house stuff when we are away”
“This is the first time I've used this service and it went excellent! I am very grateful to have had Abbys help! I had to go to an out of state wedding and I booked her very last minute. She was super polite and very accommodating! She took plenty of photos and provided great updates! 5 stars!”
“Anna was absolutely wonderful! She was attentive, communicative, and took great care of my dog. She sent lots of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She also responded to my messages right away and was always easy to reach. It was clear Scout was well cared for and happy with her. I would absolutely book with Anna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Carrie was wonderful with our Rosie and Nola. She was diligent, attentive, and very communicative. She made it easy for us to fully enjoy our vacation without worry!”
“Jamie did an amazing job watching our three high maintenance cats! Two of the three are afraid of strangers but she won them over very quickly. The daily report cards made me feel better while being away, knowing they were being so well taken care of.”
“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!”
“Emma was very easy to talk to and very easy to work with! It was a great feeling knowing our dogs were being looked after while we were on vacation. We didn’t have to worry about them at all! Absolutely loved the notes and the super cute pictures while we were away. If we ever need a dog sitter again, we are definitely booking with Emma!”
“Thea did an amazing job watching my cat as always!! Would definitely recommend. She brings a stress-free experience for both me and my cat and I can tell that my cat loves hanging out with her :)”
“Megan was amazing! I definitely recommend her and would love to have her watch our golden retriever Beau again in the future! She sent updates and photos and he looked so happy! Thank you Megan for taking great care of Beau while we were gone!”
“I have two aussies who both love her! My older dog scout is very particular about who he lets in the house and within seconds of her being in our home he had already welcomed her with kisses and a wiggly butt! Great updates the whole time we are away and made us feel super comfy from the start!! Can’t thank her enough!!!!”
“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!!”
“JoVonna is so great! I’ve rebooked her several times — I travel frequently and sometimes last minute. Really appreciate of her availability and she’s very patient with my shy little bebe and I know she’ll be well taken care of with her.”
“Rachel was wonderful! She was quick to respond to our inquiry and so easy to work with. She took such great care of our 3 cats while we were away, we never had to worry and she provided lots of pictures so we knew they were getting plenty of playtime! We would definitely book with Rachel again and highly recommend her for anything searching for someone to take the best care of their pets!”

“Emma took wonderful care of our dog and cat and kept us updated with photos and messages. We felt completely at ease knowing our babies were in such great hands. Highly recommend booking Emma!”
“Danielle was great! She took good care of our two dogs over the weekend. One of which is a deaf rescue who is often leery of strangers. They both warmed right up to her. She sent photos/videos and notes at each visit and you could see that our pups were happy and at ease. I would definitely recommend her services to others and we will use her again in the future! Thanks Danielle! El Jay and Chris Richards”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Upper Arlington
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!
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.
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!!
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!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Upper Arlington on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,686 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
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
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.
