About: I've grown up with dogs (Vizslas) my whole life. I have experience in K-9 training and showing, as well as dog sitting (of all breeds and sizes) over the years. I'm a full-time student at Otterbein, so I am looking to dog-walk around my class and sports schedule throughout the week. My availability may vary depending on the week. I am comfortable and confident walking in neighborhoods. I am willing to travel by personal, reliable transportation. I am experienced with kennels, backyard use, and leash walking.
About: Hello! I’m a long-time Westerville resident, working mom, and passionate animal caregiver. Because I live and work right here in the community, I can offer fast, flexible, and highly reliable drop-in care for your pets. I know our neighborhoods inside and out, meaning I spend less time commuting and more time focusing entirely on your pets. My Experience: I am currently a proud owner of two cats, so I completely understand the unique personalities and care needs of felines. Over the years, my hands-on animal experience has also included owning dogs and raising backyard chickens. Whether your dog needs a high-energy potty break, your cats need precise feeding and play, or your backyard flock needs their coop secured, I have the real-world experience to handle it safely. Why Choose Me: As a mom, safety, structure, and clear communication are second nature to me. I have excellent local references available upon request and will treat your home and pets with the utmost respect. I provide detailed updates and plenty of photo check-ins during every single drop-in visit so you never have to worry while you are away! I offer pet care on a part-time basis around my regular schedule, which gives me fantastic flexibility for drop-in visits! I have open availability most weekends and holidays—the exact times when you need a trusted neighbor the most. Because my schedule shifts weekly, just send me a message with your dates, and I will happily do my best to accommodate your pets! I offer drop-in care exclusively in your home to keep your pets safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. Here is exactly how I care for your pets and home: Stick to Routines: I strictly follow your feeding, medication, and coop/potty schedules for cats, dogs, or chickens.Meticulous Cleanup: I scoop litter boxes or clean up waste during every visit and dispose of it outdoors. Respectful Companionship: I provide active play, gentle brushing, or quiet company based on your pet's unique personality. Home Security: I always double-check locks, and leave your house exactly as I found it. Daily Photos: I send quick text updates and photo check-ins during every visit for your peace of mind.
“Heather was wonderful! She took great care of our three cats, and we really enjoyed the daily updates. She made it possible for us to relax on our vacation. We will definitely book Heather again in the future!”

“Marlyn was great with my anxious pup. Violet was nervous when she came in and Marlyn took the time to make her comfortable. She provided visit photos and it was clear that violet was happy and relaxed with her. I will definitely work with her again!”

“I just introduced a new kitten to the household and was worried about leaving him for the first time. Rachel came over before my trip and met both my cats and we were able to go over everything ahead of time. Everything went well and I got pictures and updates about Rosie and Bramble. I will definitely use them again in the future.”

“My first time using Rover. Emily made it super easy by stopping over before hand to introduce herself and keeping in contact while I was gone. It made vacation more relaxing knowing she was checking on my fur baby! Thanks Emily!”

About: I’ll make sure they get an opportunity to enjoy themselves when you’re not available, and I’ll make sure their needs are met. You book me, you can trust your pet is taken care of. 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. I prefer to understand the animal and client’s normal routine and proactively plan a meet and greet so the animal becomes familiar with me before further interactions.
“Kathleen is amazing and it ia such a relief to have her taking care of our pups! They are so happy and well cared for by her. She communicates well and the pics are great.”

“Kelly provided a great service. We really appreciated her flexibility and updates, especially with the weather taking a turn for the worse during her visit with Karma. Would definitely book again!”

“I can't say enough good things about Samantha! She was absolutely incredible with my two kitties. Samantha arrived at reasonable times twice a day to feed them while I was away, and her attention to detail was impressive. She listened to all my instructions carefully, ensuring my fur babies were well taken care of. It was clear that the kitties loved her! I would give her a 10/10 and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a cat/pet sitter!”

“Emily is simply amazing, she exceeded our expectations by far. She was prompt, thorough and very attentive in her check ins with my cat. Will definitely be a repeat customer of hers.”

“Regan was absolutely wonderful with our fur baby. The meet and greet went well, and we were able to discuss all of our dog's quirks. She listened and adapted to his need. She sent plenty of pictures and provided detailed updates. We could clearly see how happy he was under her care. She will certainly be added to our go-to dog sitters list!”

About: 🐾 Pet Care experience Today, I share my home with two happy, well-socialized Corgis—Fabio and Roxy—and two gentle cats. I don’t have children, so my focus and energy are fully devoted to my pets and the dogs I care for in my home. I have a deep understanding of what it means to care for special needs dogs. My first Corgi, Floyd, began having seizures at just one year old and continued to experience them regularly—ranging from several a week to several a day—until he passed away at eight. He required an intensive medical routine that included seven medications a day on a strict schedule. I cared for him with complete dedication, and that experience taught me how to stay calm under pressure, follow detailed care plans, and respond intuitively to what a dog needs—physically and emotionally. Because of that experience, I’m confident and fully comfortable handling dogs with medical needs, including timed medications, dietary restrictions, insulin, supplements, or other ongoing care. Your dog’s health and safety will always be treated with the same diligence and love I give my own. With both of my Corgis still young and playful, we’re also happy to welcome puppies, as long as they are crate trained or currently in the process of crate training. I understand the patience and consistency required during that phase, and I’m happy to support that routine while keeping everyone safe and comfortable. I exclusively offer care in my home and am happy to accommodate your dog’s individual needs. Whether your pup is active, aging, recovering, or just needs extra attention, I provide a clean, secure, and loving space with a fenced yard, daily walks, and plenty of affection. My goal is to make your dog feel relaxed, safe, and part of the family while you’re away. 🕒 How Pet Care Fits Into My Day As a part-time hairstylist with a flexible schedule, I’m able to plan my days around the needs of the dogs in my care. I’m in and out throughout the day but rarely gone for more than a few hours at a time, which allows me to maintain a consistent, calm routine for the pets in my home. My younger Corgi, Roxy (age one), is only crated when we’re not home, while Fabio, our older Corgi, prefers more freedom—but both are fully crate trained. I also have multiple crate sizes available to safely and comfortably accommodate visiting dogs, depending on their size and needs. My home is quiet, child-free, and centered around animals. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into my day—it’s part of my daily rhythm. From walks and playtime to rest and individualized care, your dog will be in a peaceful, safe, and loving environment while you’re away. 🐾 Safety, Trust & Environment I take safety and trust seriously, and I’ve created a calm, secure environment in my home where dogs can feel truly at ease. I have a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time, and dogs are never left outside unattended. Inside, I maintain a clean and structured space with multiple crate sizes available for comfort and safety when needed. I am a child-free home, and the noise level stays low throughout the day—making it an ideal environment for senior dogs or those who may be more sensitive or anxious in busier settings. I carefully manage introductions between my pets and yours, and I’m experienced in keeping animals separate if needed for comfort or safety. I follow all feeding, medication, and sleep routines exactly as provided and treat every dog like one of my own—with attentiveness, patience, and love. In case of a serious emergency, we are located very close to MedVet.

Theresa was great with my 2 kitties. She was so sweet when she came over for the meet and greet, I can see why she has a lot of repeat business. She went above and beyond while sitting by helping me out with a package I received and also watering some plants. She also sent me plenty of photos of my fur babies which is really important to me. I will definitely use her again when I am out of town.

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!!

Heather is amazing!! She treated our kitty as if she were her own fur family. She took time to sit with her, pet her and let her know she wasn’t alone. Heather also took the time to bring in our mail, pick up our newspaper off the driveway and made sure the litter box was clean. At every visit, she sent us detailed messages with pictures of how the visit went. She made our time away absolutely worry free. You won’t find a better pet sitter!!!

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

Gina is so much better than you expect from a pet sitter...she truly went above and beyond with Punky! My cat is extremely old and usually very hesitant around new people but Gina truly understood her and made her feel very at ease. As a single mom I felt even MORE comfortable with her knowing my home and my cat were in her care. She is EXCEPTIONAL and I will most certainly use her again!

WOW!!! Regan was an amazing sitter for our cat Heather. Regan arrived everyday and followed all care instructions as requested. Heather warmed up to Regan immediately and greeted her upon arrival. Updates on care, photos and overall spirit of our girl were provided every day. Regan is a gem! Thank you!

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!

Cody did an excellent job with our cats! She is very go with the flow of whatever we need or want to have done. Her personality is calm and joyful and the cats had a lot of fun with her. She sent pictures and videos after each visit which we loved! We will for sure use her again and highly recommend her.

Mirelsa eased our minds for a week long family vacay away from our furries. This was the longest we’ve left them and so happy she was able to help us out❤️. The updates and amazing (and much needed) pictures were soooo appreciated. She is the most caring and attentive caregiver we’ve had. What a gem.

I was absolutely satisfied with the drop-in visits Lauren did for 10 days with my 2 cats! When she visited for meet and greet, the cats immediately took to her and so I felt very comfortable leaving for such an extended time. Lauren sent me copious amounts of pics of which I looked forward to seeing everyday. She did a fantastic job taking care of my little ESA's and they enjoyed her company so much I think they forgot about me-haha. I also want to mention that Lauren did all this while dealing with a fever and illness one day, and a raging snowstorm the next. She went above and beyond, which is why not only do I recommend her well-deserved star status sitting, but I will be booking with her for future drop-ins when I am out of town. Thank you Lauren!

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

- 94% can help with daily exercise

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
