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 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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Super sweet and very communicative! Andrea made sure Blue was comfy with her around before taking her out and that greatly helped my dog be excited and okay with someone else other than me taking care of her. Was a breath of fresh air knowing I did not have to worry about Blue while I was away. Thank you!”
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.
“Carina did an excellent job caring for my 2 dogs, one of whom is special needs. Would book her again and definitely recommend her, especially if your pet has a medical condition that requires special care.”
“This was my first time booking with Rachel, but it certainly won’t be my last! She took wonderful care of Macaroni and Pepper and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Her Rover cards were thoughtful and detailed, and it was clear she spent plenty of time playing with and caring for the cats. They were happy, comfortable, and well-loved when I got home—and I think they already miss her! I highly recommend Rachel and will absolutely book with her again.”
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.
“Taylor is great with our dog and she communicates so well from the time of booking to post visits. She also has been available last minute when we desperately needed help. Highly recommended Taylor!”
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!
“Our dog Hank had a great drop in visit with Josh! He won’t stop asking when he’ll see his new friend again. Josh was great! His communication is stellar and he spent some good quality time with our boy.”
“Maddie was great for our first experience using Rover. We have a 10 month old pup that we weren't comfortable boarding while on vacation. We utilized Maddie for deop in services to feed, walk and spend some time with our guy. She was very responsive from my initial message. We did a meet and greet several days before. She followed up with notes she had taken during that meeting to ensure she understood expectations and that we were on the same page. During her times with Joey she provided several pictures and a detailed summary of their time together for each visit. Maddie will.be the first person I reach out to should we need further services in the future. I highly recommend her to assist with anything you may need for your own pet.”

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.

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.

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.
