“I booked Anna to take care of my precious cat during a recent vacation and couldn’t be happier. She was quick to reply to any texts, and I came home to a happy, chill little kitty :) I wouldn’t hesitate to call her again!”
“Highly recommend, Carrie gave us detailed notes on how the visits went and photos. She really took the time to give my dog (flex) some love and attention. She was quick to respond to my messages and I really felt confident that flex is in good hands. Thank you Carrie.”
“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!”
About: Hi! My name is Eric and I’m a personal trainer here in Columbus. I’ve always loved cats and dogs, and have had my dog Ayla for almost 7 years now. I have always been my friends’ go to person for watching cats and dogs, and I’m always super excited to get to spend time with them. I value their lives as highly as I would my own dog’s, and promise to take the absolute best care of your furry little family members! I’m currently working on building up my clientele at a new gym, so my schedule is very open. But even as I start with clients I will still have plenty of time to take care of your pet(s)! I should be able to accommodate almost any request you have, whether it’s scheduling related or some kind of peculiarity with your pet. Whatever it is, let’s talk about it and I will do my best to accommodate!
“Abby was wonderful in staying in touch and updating me on my pets. I loved seeing the pictures of them from each visit. She was great at communicating and put the well being of the kitties at the forefront of the visit. Overall am very pleased with her service and would use her again in the future.”
“Emma was incredible!! Very responsive and took great care of my dog! She was easy to work with and even was okay with meeting us first before booking! Would 100% book with her again!”
“Booked Taylor for about a week and everything was just as I left it. The cats were healthy and happy when I got back. Taylor was very communicative and I would book her again”
“Vanessa did a great job with Captain. I especially appreciated the update she provided at the end of the stay to let me know how things went. She asked great questions at the start and clearly has a love and appreciation for animals.”
“Repeat client here! Malorie is fantastic and I am always so happy when she is available to take care of our cat. She takes time to send pictures and updates too. I can see that he brought out his favorite toy to play with her during her visits this week which was cute!”
“Julia was punctual, communicative, and great with our dog, especially when he was spooked by fireworks outside and needed extra encouragement to go out! We’d absolutely book her again in the future. Thanks, Julia!”
“Cindy did a great job:) All three of my pets seemed very happy when we returned from a holiday trip. She sent plenty of photos while we were away. The house was very organized and clean, just as we had left it, when we returned.”
“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.”
“Super responsive, follows all instructions, does meet and greets, addresses any concerns and tailors care to dog’s needs. Super flexible as well. Thank you for taking care of Doug!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my home for over 10 years and have daily hands-on experience with feeding, walking, and caring for a few different personalities and energy levels. I’m comfortable with all sizes and temperaments and focus on calm, safe, reliable care. Dog and Cat care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’m a stay at home mom, I’m already in the Upper Arlington, Grandview, and Hilliard area during the day. I’m available for morning or mid-day walks and check-ins, and I enjoy getting outside and building consistent routines with local dogs. I keep dogs safe by paying close attention on every walk and making sure they are always properly leashed and comfortable. I provide calm, consistent care and treat every dog like they’re my own. Safety and trust are my top priorities and I always make sure the get a little fun in too!
“Great communication and easy to talk through options with. Super flexible too — when we had a last-minute change in plans, she happily accommodated us and our dog. Our pup genuinely looks forward to her visits. Highly recommend!”
“Molly is fantastic with our three pups! She is always punctual and makes the absolute most of her time during every visit. We always come home to very tired, content dogs. We will definitely be rebooking with her!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Upper Arlington is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Upper Arlington
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.
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!
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!!

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 .

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.
