“Leah was so amazing with our sweet rambunctious boy, I loved getting the rover cards with pictures after each drop in! We took our first family vacation since having our new baby and I felt so comfortable and relaxed knowing our pup was in good hands. Highly recommend Leah :)”
“We are so happy with Genevieve and are so glad to find her! She is dependable, calming to our anxious maltese, and very attention to detail. We can tell she loves what she does. Will be booking her again!”
“Sidlali was great at our first meeting, and very patient with the possibly-overly-detailed introduction I gave her to our cats and their litter situation. I look forward to her taking care of our cats next month!”
“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!”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs all my life and even taken care of pets of friends and family! I love walking dogs, playing with cats and dogs, and taking care of them. I’m especially good with big dogs as I’ve had Great Danes all my life. I’m a college student so I’m busy but most days I have a couple hours in between classes to get things done. My weekends are easier to fit things in like house sitting. But I’m also flexible! When caring for pets I will make sure they have all the food, water, and attention they need! If they need a walk or to be let out, I am there for them. If they just need all the pets, I would be happy to provide that too!!
“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.”
About: I am great with animals, your pet would love their stay with me! Small or big, kind or feisty, I will win their hearts and love them! My attention will always go to your pet(s). They have a huge space to run around in the backyard, and lots of space in our house. I always have time for animals and many cute cuddles! I provide high-quality and customized boarding and daycare. I have a big fenced yard and plenty of space in our house. I have 2 very close parks with big fields and many different trails. All dogs love walking there!!! I will take only 1 client at a time, but I can take care of 2 dogs. I am very flexible if you need to make any adjustments! I don't have any pets, so your dog(s) will get all the attention. Your furry friend will be treated like our family during his/her stay. Your dog can expect daily walks and lots of playtime. Our guest will receive plenty of affection and will be treated with love and respect by all the members of my family. I'm available after 3 pm on weekdays and full time available on weekends. If you think your dog can be okay for up to 7 hours while I'm at work, you are welcome to bring them. For boarding a meet and greet is required for new clients. We have no other pets so they'd receive all the attention. Feel free to bring their toys and treats, we'll be sure to use them!
About: I have always had a pet, and was a dog groomer for two years, as well as became certified. I worked at a pet store for 3 years! I am available 24/7 for pet sitting. They will never be left alone in my care, as well as going on walks whenever you’d like! My cat is my baby so I completely understand how loved your pets are, and will be sure to give them the same amount of love.
“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.”
About: Hi, I’m Tyra! I have 9+ years of hands-on pet care experience, including work in professional kennel, daycare, boarding, and private pet-sitting settings. At Pet Suites, I completed and passed the required assessment to lead All Day Play groups, where I independently supervised large groups of either small or large dogs throughout the day. That experience taught me how to read canine body language, manage different play styles and temperaments, recognize when intervention was needed, and maintain a safe group environment. My background also includes feeding, exercise, sanitation, medication support, behavior monitoring, care documentation, and working with puppies, adult dogs, high-energy dogs, and pets with a wide range of personalities and needs. Today, I bring that professional experience into a more individualized style of care. My flexible schedule allows for frequent potty breaks, walks, enrichment, playtime, companionship, and regular photo and video updates so owners can stay informed and feel confident while their pets are with me. Pet care is a major part of my daily routine, and I currently have a completely open and flexible schedule. This allows me to structure my day around the pets in my care and provide frequent potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, enrichment, companionship, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I’m available during the week and on weekends, and I do my best to keep each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free by maintaining their routine and providing attentive, personalized care. Whether a pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, potty routines, and individual preferences. I supervise interactions carefully, pay attention to body language and behavior, and provide regular photo and video updates so owners can feel confident and connected.
“Deanna was super professional and caring for my medically complicated pup. She was super responsive when booking and sent tons of photos for our drop in visit. Will definitely use again!”

About: I’ve had many different types of dogs throughout my life. More recently I’ve helped care for and watch friends and family members pets while away. I have bathed and groomed my own dog for the last 5+ years. We love long walks, playtime, and most of all the zoomies. My daughter also loves to snuggle and play with any dog that will have her! I currently work full-time Monday-Friday, but I am able to take pets into the office with me any day but weekend stays are preferred. Animals make me happy and any day is better with a dog friend around! I have a flexible schedule and am excited to help care for your pet! I have a large unfenced side yard for pets to explore and potty. A pet friendly neighborhood where lots of dogs are walked at all times of the day. Your pets have free range to my condo minus the basement and are welcome to snuggle up on the couch or bed!
“Kaylyn was so helpful! My shy kitty loved her! And she was taken good care of! When I got home, she was clean and happy. This is the first time I travel for over a week, and I was so nervous about it. I was so lucky to find Kaylyn. She made it so much easier!”

Flexible schedule. Available weekends upon special request. M-F, 9am to 10am, 12pm to 1pm, 4pm to 5pm are only times available as of right now I have a fenced yard, and two crates available.

About: I am a nurse looking to walk dogs in the evenings and pet sit on the weekends. I have five years of experience dog sitting, dog walking, and house sitting several breeds and sizes of dogs. I have taken care of kittens and puppies and have a golden doodle of my own. I am willing to feed, play, change litter, cat/dog sit, and treat them as if they were my own. I will not be offering pet boarding due to living in an apartment on campus. Currently I live in Westerville, Ohio, so I will be offering services to those in the surrounding community.

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.

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.
