“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!”
“Emma did great! Jackson can be a tough hang sometimes, but she seemed unfazed by him. Left very detailed reports with photos of the walks and his "exports" and behavior. Also, this was a last-minute booking where we weren't able to meet beforehand, but she jumped right into it with no issues. Would definitely book her again.”
“Rachel is a great sitter! Our puppy loves Rachel’s visits and she does a great job playing and getting her energy out. Rachel is very communicative and willing to go the extra mile for your pet. Definitely would recommend her!”
“Taylor was prompt in her replies, even when I did a last minute booking! She was great with the kiddos, they were taken care of very well. My dog Vali got nice walks and lots of pets. Taco, my cat definitely appreciated the timely meals 😆, churu treats ☺️ and play time. Definitely will continue with her for future bookings.”
About: Hi! I am Jenn and love all animals!! I have a MA degree in Psychology and work hybrid remote! I use Rover for my pets and I joined as a sitter to help other families that want an older adult (vs teenager) in their home. I work during the day but set my own schedule. I live in Grandview Heights and Mount Gilead as I have homes in each. I am flexible with dates and times so please reach out with questions. Flexible schedule . I make my own schedule and will work around the needs of your pets. I can drop by for visits as well and can work in the areas of Mount Gilead and Columbus Ohio as I have condo in both areas. I have flexibility in my work so I am able to accommodate needs of your pet. I do offer care in my home but will also stay in your home and be clean and tidy and send as many videos and pictures as you request as your fur babies.
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for animals, and being an animal lover has always been a big part of who I am. I grew up with a dog and two cats and now have a senior dog of my own. I understand the unique needs and personalities of both dogs and cats. Beyond caring for my own pets, I've been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for years. I've also spent much of my adult life volunteering at animal shelters and fostering animals who need a little extra TLC or a break from shelter life. I'm experienced in all aspects of pet care, from walks, playtime, and feeding to providing extra patience and attention when needed. I've cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to sweet seniors, and dogs of all sizes and personalities. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands. I'll treat your pet like one of my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and showered with attention while you're away. I work from home and have a job where I can make my own schedule so it's easy for me to do dog walks or drop-in visits as needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! On walks, I pay close attention to my surroundings, make sure dogs are securely leashed, and let them enjoy their time outside at a pace that’s comfortable for them. If your dog has a favorite walking route or a routine they’re used to, I’m more than happy to stick with it! For drop-in visits, I’ll carefully follow your instructions and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable having someone new in their space. I also know that every pet has their own personality, and some days they may want lots of playtime while other days they just want some company and cuddles. I’m happy to follow their lead and give them whatever love, attention, and care they need!
“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.”
About: Hello! I have had a dog by my side my entire life, and after losing my own pup about three years ago, I’ve really missed that puppy and dog love in my life. I’m the person who stops to say hi to every dog I meet, and I genuinely love animals of all kinds! I have fostered dogs in the past and volunteered at a dog shelter, so caring for dogs with different personalities and needs is something I really enjoy. I am also a registered nurse, so being calm, responsible, and caring comes naturally to me. I pay attention to the little things to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I’d love the opportunity to give your pup some extra love, attention, exercise, and companionship when you can’t be there. I’ll treat your furry friend like they’re my own! I am available weekdays 8:30am - 2:30pm for drop in visits and dog walks. Can be available weekends and overnight stays as needed. Would love to fill my days with furry friend love. When I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect I would my own. Whether I’m stopping in for a visit or taking your pup for a walk, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I’m happy to accommodate crate time or any special routines your pup is used to.
“Thea is so impressive. I am a person of few words and if I wasn't then Thea would have made it that way because words can’t describe how great she did with Dewey. Thank you, Thea!”
About: I have had 3 dogs over my lifetime and raised my latest one during the pandemic, training him when I was home from college taking online classes. I am searching for a way to fill the void I feel being away from my dogs at home as I begin my new job. I can easily take your dog out and am not afraid of putting collars on. I know how to calm anxious dogs down as well.
“We worked with Madison on a recent week long vacation that we had. She was fantastic to work with - regular updates and photos, our pup was well cared for and spoiled! We will be sure to work with her again in the future!”
“Ericka was amazing! She arrived as planned, had great communication and took care of all our pup’s needs. She also sent some awesome photos on our Rover Card. I highly recommend Ericka and can’t wait to have her back again.”
About: Your animals aren’t just pets, they’re family. I’ve taken care of my neighbors, friend’s and family’s cats and dogs for several years. I have also lived with both. All of them are different. I’m here to meet any accommodations needed! I’m eager to continue! I’m available all day Sundays and Mondays. Especially when you want to go for a night out on the weekends, I’m available Saturday evening as well and you don’t have to worry about your fur babies being home alone! AVAILABILITY: Sunday & Monday and on Occasion Saturdays I make an effort to make sure they are always entertained, feel heard, and taken care of. I truly feel that our animals are family and I treat them as so. Giving them all the love they need and deserve! Any long lists or specific needs, I am more than willing to accommodate! I want to make your life and their lives easier in any way I can. :)
“So grateful I found Beth! Even on short notice, she suggested a Meet & Greet to make sure she understood all instructions, where items were placed, etc. for my cats' drop-in visits. Sent Rover Cards with updates and pictures. Even my cat who is timid of new people came out from hiding during the visits. Will definitely book again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Upper Arlington
Leann is incredible! Our kitties were so comfortable with her on their first visit which means a lot. They can be very picky about who they trust. Leann was also excellent at communication and sent lots of pictures. We will be booking her for all future visits!
Sara does an excellent job taking care of our cats and our house. We have hired her several times for drop in visits while we are out of town. Our cats love her, she sends us great updates, and when we get home our cats are healthy and happy and our house is in great shape.
HB was very kind. She was prompt in her visits for my cat and got some cute pictures for me. HB took the extra time to sit with my cat and letting her get to know her, so at the next visits they would be friends. ☺️ I would recommend HB for a cat sitter to anyone!
I highly recommend Emma! Upon our first meeting, one of my cats was immediately obsessed with her. My other cat is a bit shy but curious, and by the end of the stay, she came out for pets! Emma was communicative, detailed, and completely reliable. I'll definitely be booking her again.
Gwen took fantastic care of our cat when we were away for a two-week long trip. I am always nervous about leaving my pet for so long, but with Gwen’s help I knew he was not only being cared for, but nurtured as well. Gwen came over every day to make sure Rue had company, and I am grateful I got to enjoy my trip knowing he was well looked after. Gwen is friendly, has great communication, and sends photos every day. She even left a very thoughtful gift at the end of her last visit. I would/will 1000% book with Gwen again, and you should too!!
Elizabeth was wonderful, she was able to help me last minute and took such good care of my two cats! She gave thorough updates, answered any questions I had about the cats while I was gone, and both cats seemed relaxed when I got back. I would definitely recommend her services!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Upper Arlington is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $28 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 2,624 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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.
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.
