“Eva is amazing and takes careful care in meeting you and your dogs needs on her visits. I had her look after the dogs off and on for 3 days and she was on time and took care of them with ease. Very communicative and responsive. Highly recommend!”
“I am new to Rover. Found Deanna on the first try and she is fantastic. I have 3 dogs and one of them is 15. He needs extra care and love. Deanna has been great with him and the others. Pictures and updates of all three and cuddle time while I am at work. About to go on a trip and she will be visiting them every day for some TLC and potty breaks.”
“Keisha was absolutely wonderful with my cat Sophie! I loved that she shared pictures with me everyday which made me feel like I was in touch with Sophie even when traveling. She was very communicative and kept me posted on all of her visits. I had forgotten to turn my dishwasher on after loading it before I left and Keisha was so helpful to turn it on for me!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for many years now. I have lived in Powell all of my life and have posted on the local facebook group for petsitting and walking and have acquired numerous clients! I love animals so much and I want to use my love of animals to help busy parents or couples! I am currently looking for a full time job so this is my perfect to walk dogs, do drop ins to check on them, or dogsit over night! I love to keep my families updated and send pictures each visit/ day I am watching them! I make sure to listen to any important details an owner provides for me and anything they need me to do!
“Kaitlyn was amazing. She sent updates and several pictures for every visit, her notes were always very detailed and she was very communicative with us about our dog. 100% recommend her.”
“Ashley was awesome and responsible! We asked her to drop in twice in one day on our first request for her to drop in. Our dog was fed, exercised and loved while we were out. Happy pup, happy mom!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I currently own a 7 year old shepherd lab mix and a rescue Yorkie mix (age unknown but at least 5 years old). I grew up with dogs and have experience with many breeds and many mixed breeds. I have experience with oral medications and special needs as well. I live on a small hobby farm and own a horse, 2 mischevious goats, a couple kitties and some chickens along with my 2 rescue dogs. I grew up on a farm and have taken care of many farm animals as well as house pets. I am currently working from home and would love an opportunity to meet and help others with their pets while they are away from home.
“JoVonna took such great care of our boy while we were out of town. We could rest so much easier knowing someone had checked on him and gave him love.”
“Mia is a great help! She kept us updated each day after her visits and made sure she did everything to keep Rusty happy! She posted pictures to us everyday. I would love to work with Mia in future!”
“Kayla is extremely talented and careful with cats amd did a great job caring for Fred! She is very reliable and that made me feel very comfortable to do my traveling.”
“Jenny is wonderful! She came by for a drop in for my puppy throughout the week while I was at work. I felt like I was at ease all week knowing she was taking care of my pup. Jenny is so friendly and loves your dog like your own. I can’t wait to use her again!”
“Josh did a wonderful job taking care of Mali. Mali took to Josh right away when he came for his meet visit which really put our mind at ease. He went above and beyond taking care of her. This was our first time using a rover but I will not hesitate to use Josh again. Mali was happy and well taken care of when we got home from our trip.”
“Jenna did a great job watching my cats - she played with them and gave them treats, and it seems like my youngest cat really liked her! I would highly recommend her and will be sure to book her again.”
“Estefani was incredible and very responsive. I booked last minute for my cat who I had never left alone overnight, and was worried she would be upset. My cat was rude and didn’t even care that I was gone! I got pictures of her playing and cuddling and texts asking clarifying questions when necessary. Looking forward to rebooking without guilt that my cat is sad without me.”
“Gina is fantastic. She communicates everything and went above and beyond with our dachshund. It was wonderful to know someone with vet experience was helping to take care of her as she recovers from an injury.”

Wesley did a great job once again! He makes sure my dog gets lots of walks and plenty of attention. Great job with communication and pictures. I will continue to use him for future bookings and I would recommend him to others. He will take good care of your pups!!
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!
Sadie was on time and followed our requests for our Beau Beau. She mapped out his walks on our report and sent very cute pictures. Sadie was also very playful with Beau Beau but also spent some time petting and calming him as he has a separation anxiety. Thank you Sadie!
Mirelsa is the most amazing pet sitter we’ve ever had for our pups! She sends the most detailed updates after each visit, sends a ton of photos that shows how happy and well taken care of they are, and above all, she loves and cares for them like they are her own which is PRICELESS! She not only took incredibly care of out pups, but she also cleaned off our deck when it rained/snowed so that no mud got tracked inside, she vacuumed the house, straightened up all the puppy blankets on the sofas, took out our trash, brought in packages, and even raced over to our house while she was at work when we had a bit of an emergency! She’s an absolute angel and we appreciate her so so much! We only feel comfortable leaving to go out of town when we know Mirelsa is watching our babies. ❤️

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 Westerville 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 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 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 Westerville 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 Westerville. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% 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.
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.
