Jessica was absolutely wonderful and incredibly dependable, always arriving right on time. She took the extra effort to truly get to know our cat’s personality and asked thoughtful questions that put us completely at ease. With her great communication and genuine care, we knew our furry friend was in the best possible hands. Plus, she noticed out-of-the-ordinary behavior and alerted us immediately. 5 stars and highly recommend!

I can’t say enough good things about Ann! My Scarlet girl doesn’t deal well with change or other dogs, so it was such a relief to find Ann so she didn’t have to go to a kennel. Ann loved Scarlet like she was her own and did a wonderful job communicating with me every day. I HIGHLY recommend her!

I felt at ease with Maggie dropping in to check on my cat while I was away for 3 weeks! She was even able to water my plants which was also much appreciated :)

First time using Kylie to watch our dog and went very well. We will definitely look to rebook for our next trip. Did well with our dog, kept the house tidy, and was very informative. Highly recommend.

About: I truly love animals, and I have real hands-on experience that helps me care for pets of all ages and personalities. I also have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and large breeds. In my home town, I cared for Great Danes, so big dogs don’t intimidate me at all I’m confident, calm, and know how to handle them safely. Overall, I’m sweet, patient, and truly dedicated to making every pet feel safe and loved while you’re away. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can give pets my full attention and adjust easily to your needs. I’m available throughout the week for drop-ins, walks, feeding, medication, and extra cuddle time. I love staying active, so taking dogs out for walks and playtime naturally fits into my daily routine. My open availability lets me focus on each pet individually and make sure they’re getting the care, love, and consistency they deserve. In my home, I make sure every pet has a safe, comfortable space. I have dog crates available, a fully fenced yard for outdoor time, and I always supervise pets when they’re outside. I keep a calm, clean environment and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications they need. When I care for pets in my client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and attention to detail. I focus on keeping your pet’s normal routine, giving them affection, play, and structure. I send regular updates so you always know how they’re doing.

Britany was an amazing pet sitter. She came to our home twice a day for over a week. We have three kittens all under 1 year so there were some special instructions about feeding and keeping them apart at times. Britany went above and beyond to make sure all our cats had the care and attention they needed while we were gone. She gave detailed updates as well as included numerous photos after each scheduled visit. Once you meet her you know she has the biggest heart! We need to go out of town soon and plan to book Britany again!

About: Animal lover since birth, caregiver for about 10 years. I love to spend time with animals! I have 2 dogs currently who I love so much. Your pets will be in good hands and I will treat them as if they were my own. Currently: I have open availability. I have a super flexible schedule and can accommodate for last minute changes. Please let me know at least 1 day ahead of time if there are any major changes. I have 2 adorable puppies who I adore with all my heart. We have a fenced in yard big enough for both, and we love to go for daily walks. For my senior dogs, I make him homecooked with kibble meals due to dietary restrictions. Every pet parent knows what works for their pets best, and I hope to uphold that. I believe all animals are special and I hope the care for my own pets can reflect in the care I will provide for your animals. 🫶

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats alike since I was 9 years old. I was hired for two months consecutively by a family in Indian Hill twice this year to stay with their lovely lab and have taken care of pets in the Cincinnati area for some years now, and for some cats and dogs for months at a time due to travel. I have one kitty of my own and have owned cats and worked with dogs my whole life. Since I've just moved back to the Marysville region I'd love to get settled before bringing your babies to my home, but I have plenty of free time to travel between the Marysville, Dublin, Columbus, and Delaware regions to spend time playing, take them for walks, feed, and comfort your loved ones. I am very dedicated to ensuring your little guys get the best care and snuggles, I do well to be attentive to any requests and instructions you may have as each pet is so unique and need different levels of care. Don't hesitate to reach out and ask any questions as I'm new to this specific platform! I currently am in the process of getting a part-time position as I've just moved back and have plenty of time to watch your little guys! I always ensure I have all the instructions I need for each pet and home before heading there. I love to build professional relationships with clients, so they know who I am and what I stand for: great care for your pets. I do my best to make sure the pets are well taken care of, groomed, get their exercise, and comforted along with ensuring the home is in its original state or better before I head home!

Before working with Amanda, Ranger was reactive and unsure of new people, so finding someone to watch him was stressful. Now he absolutely loves staying with her. She understands his personality and keeps things structured but fun, which helps him stay calm and confident. Amanda updates me throughout his stay and even keeps up with his training while we’re gone. He always comes home happy, relaxed, and better than ever. I wouldn’t trust anyone else!

About: What sets me apart is the amount of genuine care, patience, and attention I give to every pet. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals, and I treat them like family while they’re with me. I previously owned a husky, so I’m familiar with caring for high-energy dogs that need structure, exercise, and lots of engagement. I’m also very attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether they’re playful, shy, young, or older. I always aim to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for both pets and their owners. Hi! I’m an animal lover and welcomed my first baby girl in June on Father’s Day! So I’m looking for a reliable and flexible way to earn income while spending precious time with my little one. I’ve always loved being around dogs and would love to help with walking, drop-ins, or pet sitting. I’m dependable, caring, patient, and will treat your pets like family 🤍 I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home tidy and provide updates/photos for peace of mind.

About: I’ve grew up on a horse farm where my parents also breed and raised Rottweilers growing up! I have been around animals of all sizes from before I can remember. I also have years of experience taking care of all types and sizes of animals due to this, from tiny teacup chihuahuas to gentle giants! Given plenty of baths, special feedings and followed strict schedules! I recently lost my 9 year old great dane and am missing a companion around dearly. Looking for some cool pups to make friends with who are in need of some company to! I currently am a stay at home momma myself! I tend to just mosey around the house and take walks to the park right next door with the kiddos nowadays. I have complete open availability, with lots of space in and out of my home to accommodate for your fur baby. I enjoy animals company more than people most days so if your fur baby needs a friend, let get together! I have a secure large fenced in yard. Although i am still happy to take them on daily walks. Also i love rewarding them with some of their favorite treats, so please bring theirs! Crates are welcome if needed, not necessarily however, I plan to be very attentive. With over night stays if they are normally crated, I do ask you bring theirs so they can be comfortable. My home is open and clean, they are more than welcome to play in or the yard as well. Bring their favorite toys/ ropes or balls so we can enjoy all our time in or outside the house.

About: Hi! I’m Josh, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just relaxing with a companion, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to every dog’s unique personality and routine. I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, provide plenty of updates with photos, and make sure your pup gets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind, knowing your best friend is in caring and reliable hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! [9:01 PM]Hi, I’m Josh! I’ve always loved being around dogs because they’re more than just pets—they’re family. I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so my goal is to make sure both you and your pup feel comfortable from the very beginning. I’m the kind of person who enjoys getting outside for walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or just relaxing with a dog that wants some company. Every dog is different, so I’ll take the time to learn their routine, personality, and what makes them happiest. I’m reliable, patient, and pay attention to the little things. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication exactly as instructed, or making sure your dog gets the exercise and love they need, I’ll care for them the same way I’d want someone to care for my own. You’ll get plenty of photo and video updates while you’re away, so you can relax knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and in good hands. I’d love the chance to meet you and your dog and become someone you can count on whenever you need a trusted sitter. I work full-time at Amazon, which has helped me become dependable, organized, and great at managing my time. When I’m not at work, I dedicate my time to caring for the dogs in my care. I keep my schedule up to date and only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s before work, after work, or on my days off, your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, love, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that lightly. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home from the moment they arrive. I provide a clean, secure environment where your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’ll follow your dog’s routine just the way you do, keep a close eye on them, and treat them with the same love, patience, and care I’d want for my own pet. I want you to feel completely at ease, knowing your furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 4 when I got my first dog. I currently have two cats and would love a dog but my schedule won't provide me enough time to take proper care of one. I am great with training puppies and giving medications. I’m currently a Preschool Intervention Specialist and have my own special education preschool classroom through Lima City Schools. I currently teach August-May. My availability mainly opens up during the summer but love to help out during the school year around my teaching contract. I look forward to working with you! I am currently off for the summer so I can attend to pet care as much or as little as you need. During the school year as long as your schedule works around my teaching contract, I will be able to help you out as much as I can! I have plenty of experience with small, medium, and big dogs. I would prefer to come to you but in the need to have your pet at my house, I am able to crate dogs as needed at my home as my house has an extra room. Plus my cats are very friendly or just stay to themselves so your animals will be in great care.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Urbana

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Urbana on Rover is $22.2 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 984 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Urbana. 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 Urbana 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Urbana choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Urbana with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Urbana. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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.

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.
