“Heather was wonderful with our dogs and new puppy. She took the time to make sure our shy grand-dog warmed up and was willing to use the potty break and gave the dogs the time they needed. Great communication. We will definitely call on Heather again!”
“Emily - you are absolutely a gem to work with and my kitties love you! Thanks for giving them such great care when we need to be out of town! I’m so thankful for your visits and making our lives so easy! Definitely would recommend you to anyone needing a sitter!! Thank you.”
“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.”
About: I have taken care of my dog since she was 8 weeks old. I have trained her as well as other dogs I've cared for to sit, lay down, roll over, heal, jump fences and much more. I have a lot of experience working with horses, and bunnies as well as dogs. My dog has faced medical issues like skin rashes due to allergies, and I am comfortable caring for animals that need additional support. I currently have one dog that lives with me. I care for her daily. I also take horse lessons 2-3 times a week and am responsible for the horses care as well. I am currently a college student so I plan on caring for your animals with short breaks when I have classes. I will spend free time outside of classes playing/walking and taking care of your animals.
“Chris seemed genuinely interested in our cats at our meet and greet and showed a great level of conscientiousness through the Rover cards he sent. He interacted with our cats, petted them and played with them. He carried out a few extra requests and more. All we could ask for in a pet sitter!”
“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!”
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.
“Carina was responsive, timely, & just overall great with our cat during her drop-ins while we were out of town for Thanksgiving! She made sure to send daily updates with lots of details & plenty of photos and also left our cat supply space so clean and organized! Our cat seemed super cozy & happy upon return, would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter 💕”
“This was our 2nd year having Kelly stop in to check on our 3 cats. She communicated well. Sent pictures. And I was confident and comfortable with her coming into the house and laying eyes on my Furbabies. 10:10 would recommend.”
“Emily was amazing as a sitting for our two cats. One cat in particular can be a challenge with food guarding but Emily handled her with such professionalism and won her over. She was detailed with her messages and sent lots of photos. I highly recommend using Emily as a pet sitter!”
About: My family has had dogs in the home since before I was born. While I don't know if I can commit to a furry friend of my own quite yet living in an apartment, I look forward to caring for yours! I work in office five days a week but have flexibility in my schedule to take long lunch breaks or finish my day remotely. I like to go to the Metro Parks for hikes on the weekend. There are grassy areas around my apartment complex and a dog run. For social or active dogs, I am happy to walk them in Goodale Park.
“I highly recommend Mirelsa C.! We have 4 cats and they’re all different personalities and temperaments. Mirelsa took excellent care of “the girls.” I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services for our kitties again. She’s peace of mind when we can’t be home.”
“Regan saved the day for us by taking care of our two kitties while we were away for a month. They loved her immediately and looked forward to every visit. Cant wait to have her take care of our girls again.”
“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.”
“She took very good care of our kitties while we were out of town for a family funeral. She gave good reports and photos of each visit. Upon our return our kitties were obviously happy and well cared for.”

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!
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.
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!
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Westerville on Rover is $19.98 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,678 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Westerville. 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 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
- 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.
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.
