“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!”
“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: 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.
“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!”
“Grace is the best! Our cat can be quite difficult and she was amazing with him! She took great care of him and I was never worried about him during our trip like I usually am. We will definitely hire her again!”
“My dog Griswald fell IN LOVE instantly when he first me Theresa and was so excited for her drop in visits! Easy communication and expectations exceeded! Will be booking again!”
“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.”
“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.”
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: Hi, I’m Tyra! I have 9+ years of hands-on pet care experience, including 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 strengthened my ability to read canine body language, manage different play styles and temperaments, recognize when intervention is needed, and maintain a safe, structured environment. My background also includes feeding, exercise, behavior monitoring, sanitation, medication support, and caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels. I bring that professional experience into every booking while still giving each pet individualized attention based on their routine, personality, and comfort level. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I work primarily from home during the week, which allows me to be present with pets throughout much of the day. My job also includes scheduled provider visits, so there may be periods when I’m away from home. I plan pet care around my workday with morning and evening walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of attention when I’m home. Weekends allow for even more flexibility and activity. I always aim to keep each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible while they’re in my care. 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 close attention to body language and behavior, and provide regular photo and video updates so owners can feel confident and connected.
About: I got my first dog at age 11, and my second at 15. I’m 23 now, and have spent a lot of time looking after family and friend’s dogs and cats (I love both!) via drop-in visits and overnight stays, etc. I’m always excited to meet a new pet and give it lots of love far beyond the basic care it needs. I’m excited to find opportunities beyond friends and family here on Rover! My weekdays are fairly open, in mornings/afternoons/evenings for pet care. I have reliable transportation and a lot of experience and resources that make me a great option for pet care! Safety is always my #1 priority. Beyond that, I believe building a genuine and trusting relationship is the foundation for proper, responsible pet care! Attentiveness to physical and emotional needs are always well-balanced and above all else love and affection are never in short supply.
“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 would use Ben again in a heartbeat. Responsible, good to my cat, goes the extra mile. From the video he sent me, it was obvious that my cat was comfortable around him.”
“Kimberly is awesome! We’re so fortunate to have her taking care of our three cats when we travel. She provides great updates and photos and provides outstanding care. We don’t have to worry when we’re away and have peace of mind that our pets are well cared for.”
“Emily was great! Super communicative and a pleasure to work with as we explained everything we would need for our pup. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Taylor is AMAZING. I had a really bad experience with Rover.com in the past and Taylor went above and reassured that I wouldn't have any problems! She sent me pics everyday, informed me at least twice a day with updates on how they were doing. She even got my mail, changed the trash, and adjusted my heat when it was getting cold. She is my new go too!!! Can't say enough positive things about Taylor! She is a professional and I felt so comfortable with her in my house. ”
About: With over 15 caring for my childhood dog, and being a frequent cat sitter for friends look no further for your friendly neighborhood pet sitter! I am currently looking for weekend and afternoon jobs. Depending on your location, I may be able to stay overnight for services! Let’s chat to see what works for us both! As a Clinical Psychologist, I take pride in my job and apply my ethical code of conduct in and out of the therapy room. You and your pets will be in good hands!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westerville
Chris was fantastic! He took great care of our cat, Finn. He came all 22 days at the agreed upon time. In addition to the daily tasks and refreshing food, water and litter, he kept an eye on how Finn looked and acted each visit. He also played and petted Finn each day which is so important. Chris promptly submitted a detailed update on the Rover app along with a lot of photos each day. Chris also kept an eye on the house and alerted me of any potential issues. I hope Chris is available to take care of Finn every time I need to be away.
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Westerville is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,642 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Westerville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
