“Marlyn did an exceptional job bonding with our kitties while we were away. Even our shy girl eventually warmed up to her and got the cuddles she needed in our absence. Before we left for our trip, Marlyn was extremely thorough and asked great questions to ensure her time with our girls went as smooth as possible. She also handled giving preventative inhaler treatments to both of our asthmatic kitties - which is not an easy task to do for cats! Her kindness and integrity shone through with every check-in and we are so grateful to her for everything she did. Thanks a bunch, Marlyn!”

Thank you, Erin from the bottom of our hearts. We are so grateful that we picked you to watch our our cats.”

About: I’ve been working as a nurse now for 5 years. I have taken care of all kinds of dogs. I grew up with Newfoundland’s, Yorkies, Mastiffs, Golden Retrievers, Poodles of all kinds, and more. I’ve grown up having at least three dogs at all times. I’ve worked with training most of them and have experience in many training methods. I have experience in house sitting, boarding, and walking/ feeding dogs for others. I moved to Columbus a few years ago and just got married. We have yet to get our own dog, but I would love the opportunity to take care of your dog like it was my own! I’m currently working 32 hours a week. I’m free on Wednesday’s completely. I have evenings available (except Thursday) and I’m available on weekends. I’m an early riser, so if you need someone as early as 6:30am I’m your girl! Times gone: Monday 10-6 (work) Tuesday 8:30-4 (work Thursday 8:30-4 (work) Friday 8:00-4 (work) Sunday 10-12 (church) I will treat your pup just like my own! The more information you give me about them, the better! This way I can make sure i’m doing things/caring for them in a way that is the most familiar for them. You can expect quite a few photos of your pup when they are in my care, and quick communication from me as well. I’d love to walk your pup, however long they’re comfortable. Dogs when over our house can roam around wherever while we’re present. I have a guest room to keep them in, if I were not to be home. I can also crate them, as long as that’s provided with them! They are free to sleep on the couch, floor, or bed. We have no pets currently living with us, it is me and my husband. I have experience training dogs in public settings and taking them out and about to pet friendly places. If your dog is already trained and well mannered in public places, I’m more than happy to take them out to places that stimulate them and are pet friendly.

Rachel is awesome!! Not only does she take great care of my cats but also my house (packages, plants, making sure things are locked, etc). I’m so thankful for her willingness to help out & ease any worries while gone. The cats love when she comes over— even our shy cat seemed to recognize her/ be more social. 😽
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!
Regina was absolutely amazing! This was the first time I left my cat alone for a week, and I was a little nervous but Regina completely put my mind at ease. I came home to a supper happy and healthy cat. She is responsible and communicative, sending detailed updates and photos everyday.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Westerville on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,731 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
- 95% 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.
