“Erin is the best. I was very nervous about leaving my cats and she reassured me that everything would be great and it was recommend her 100% and will be using her in the future if I need to be. Thank you, Erin from the bottom of our hearts. We are so grateful that we picked you to watch our our cats.”
“This was our first time leaving our kitties and Emily did a great job! She sent pictures every visit which made me feel more comfortable. We will definitely be using Emily in the future! Thanks, Emily! :)”
“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!”
“Theresa did such a great job with my shy Greyhound and was so accommodating with a last minute booking! Excited to book with her again! Theresa was super professional, responsive and clearly a true animal lover! I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Gina is amazing!! I cannot say enough positive things. Our wild little kitten had just gotten his cast off after recovering from a bad broken leg and was barely putting weight on it. I was in a panic having to leave town unexpectedly and she put my mind at ease and took care of him like her own. She gave him his meds, spoon fed him his food as he was struggling to eat in his cone and kept him out of trouble, which isn’t an easy task. Gina truly went above and beyond and we are very grateful.”
“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.”
“Deanna was super professional and caring for my medically complicated pup. She was super responsive when booking and sent tons of photos for our drop in visit. Will definitely use 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.”
About: I am a nurse looking to walk dogs in the evenings and pet sit on the weekends. I have five years of experience dog sitting, dog walking, and house sitting several breeds and sizes of dogs. I have taken care of kittens and puppies and have a golden doodle of my own. I am willing to feed, play, change litter, cat/dog sit, and treat them as if they were my own. I will not be offering pet boarding due to living in an apartment on campus. Currently I live in Westerville, Ohio, so I will be offering services to those in the surrounding community. I am a responsible young adult that loves taking care of your pets. Walking, Running, Playing, Feeding, etc I'm your sitter! I am a full time nurse and work Monday through Friday. I am available Monday-Friday evenings for walks or drop ins and weekends for house sitting. I love taking care of your animals and meeting new people! My goldendoodle is my emotional support animal so I would treat your animals the same. Typically I bring my doodle with me to house sit as long as I have permission from the owner. She is very sweet and loving and absolutely loves any dog or person she meets!
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Emily took great care of our dog over a long weekend. She is responsive and provides a lot of detailed updates and pictures so that we knew our dog was safe and taken good care of. Highly recommend her services!”
About: From a young age, I have had the privilege of helping care for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Most of my adult experience with dogs is with senior dogs, cancer-related care, and post-surgery recovery care. My senior dog is my family, and I treat any animal in my care with the same love and attention to detail I do as my own dog. I also have 2 years experience with bearded dragons and am open to other types of pets as well! I currently work full time M-F and typically have availability for drop ins and walks after 6pm on weekdays. Weekends that are planned ahead of time provide even more flexibility for me, as I can usually make any time of day work Saturdays or Sundays to give your pet what they need! I treat client’s homes with care and respect. I follow household rules and pet care instructions closely. I am highly responsive and strive to provide clients with the communication needed for everyone to feel safe and secure during bookings.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westerville
Regan is the best! She’s been watching our dog for over a year and is always quick to respond, send detailed messages on how he’s doing, and our dog is always so happy to see her. She has been so flexible too with taking him on two extra walks when we were debating extending our trip.
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 November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 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 November 2026, there are 2,592 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 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:
- 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
