About: I have 30 years of caring for and loving animals. I was a animal maintenance manager for a pet store for many years. I own my home with a large fenced in back yard. I am home most of the time, so pets or as I refer to them “furry family members “ are never left alone for long. Your dog will get plenty of exercise and attention. They will be in a safe “Home” atmosphere and not a cold kennel. I can usually work with any special needs that your pet may have and I am pretty flexible with days and times . I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have and I look forward to meeting you and your four legged friends. *Breed restrictions

“Holly was very dependable and took very good of our kitty! She sent pics and gave our little girl cuddles to keep her from being too lonely. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 11 and have experience with a wide veriety of small to large size dogs. Experience includins walking, playing, pottying , brushing and giving medicine. Pet care is my primary focus as I am not employed elsewhere. Because I stay at the pet's home, my routine is based around care of the pet. I spend my time in the client's home playing with and caring for the pet(s). I follow the pet's routine as directed by the client, providing walks, feedings, play and bedtime routines the pet is accustomed to having.
“Anna was great with Freddie! She was quick to respond, played with him and gave him cuddles and treats, sent a detailed trip visit report, and added tons of pictures. I would have no issues rebooking her for future pet sitting needs.”
“We are just so grateful for Jessica! Our home routine has been off this week which has been challenging for the dogs but she gave them some much needed activity, enrichment, and snuggles (and managed Teddy and his upset tummy). It’s such a relief knowing we have someone to help us ensure the dogs are happy and living their best life. It definitely minimizes the dog mom guilt on a week like this.”
“JoVonna was wonderful! She was super responsive, a pleasure to talk to, and sent me tons of cute pictures of my cat each day! Next time I go out of town I will absolutely be reaching out to her again.”
“I couldn’t be happier with Adriana’s care for my sweet Oreo. She was incredibly kind, loving, and attentive to him, making sure he was comfortable & happy. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. You can truly tell she has a genuine love for animals! I highly recommend Adriana without hesitation, and I will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my boy!”
About: I have experience pet sitting for neighbors and through a dog kennel. I love each and every animals I meet and will not leave until every need is met! I currently on summer break and have plenty of time to spend with your pup! I prefer to keep Sunday’s free. However, if your dog needs me I’ll be there! I currently have a gsp and take him on walks every morning. We have a large yard so he gets to go out and play often. When watching others pets I make sure to check on them at least three times a day. I tend to stay longer at night so they can wind down and get comfortable before I leave.
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, and other animals since I was about 15 years old. I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I also have experience working as a beginner-level dog groomer, which gave me even more hands-on experience with dogs and their individual needs. I eventually left grooming to pursue my career as a CNA, but my love for animals has never gone away. I’m patient, responsible, and caring, and I would love the opportunity to treat your pets like they’re my own! My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care\. I understand that every owner has different schedules and needs, and I’m willing to work around those schedules whenever possible\. My flexibility makes me a great fit because I can provide consistent, dependable care without rushing or leaving pets alone for long periods of time\. I’m happy to give each animal the attention, love, exercise, and care they deserve while their owners are away\. want every pet and pet owner to feel comfortable and confident when choosing me for their pet’s care. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved pet, so I treat every animal with patience, attention, and the same love and care I would want for my own.

“Kayla has been terrific with our Rocky. He just loves her! She recently stayed at our home for a week and while caring for our pup, she was respectful of our home and belongings. She also communicates well and is prompt with responses. We love the pictures she sent each day so we knew Rocky was being well-cared for and having a good time.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me! Since moving to Columbus, I’ve regularly cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I genuinely love getting to know each one. Whether your dog wants a long walk, lots of playtime, or just someone to hang out with and give them plenty of attention, I’m happy to match their routine and personality. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet, so I’m dependable, communicative, and always happy to send plenty of photo updates while you’re away. My goal is simple: keep your dog happy, comfortable, and cared for just like they would be with you - and give them a little extra serotonin while I’m at it. Their serotonin boost gives me one too! 🐾 I work from home M/Fri, so depending on the day I am super flexible. I always have a lunch hour, have days with no meetings, and slow days where I’m looking to get some steps in and would love a furry friend to spend that time with! I’m super flexible and even able to do early mornings!😊 For drop ins, I bring a friendly personality, care, and cleanliness to your home. For dog walking, I am able to find the best parks, your neighborhood, or my neighborhood to walk them in!

Regan is the best! She’s been watching our dog for over a year and is always quick to respond, send detailed messages on how he’s doing, and our dog is always so happy to see her. She has been so flexible too with taking him on two extra walks when we were debating extending our trip.
Heather was wonderful! She took excellent care of our dog, Cooper, while we were away and gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. She was thoughtful and attentive, and even went the extra mile by bringing in our garbage cans without us having to ask. We truly appreciated her care and kindness. Thank you, Heather! We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!
This is the second time we have used Andrea when we left for a week. She is absolutely amazing. Sent us messages, pictures and really spent time with our dog on her visits. She allowed us to truly relax on vacation as she took care of our pet. Highly recommend
Big thank you to Ashley for accepting my request to drop in my Beau Beau after our 1st sitter cancelled short notice. Ashley was great communicating and was very caring, paying lots of attention to him and his needs. Loved her positive personality! Punctual and professional!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Westerville is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 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 2,504 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Westerville. 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.
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 Westerville 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 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.
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 Westerville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
