“Ryan was thorough, capable of following my directions, and did the job with pride-- I felt incredibly safe with him working with my cats and their needs! He was able to work with changes in directions, had experience giving liquid medications by mouth, and was punctual and timely in his visits. My cats felt calm when he was around, and he had no problem playing with them with extra time he had. I would definitely recommend Ryan and hope he gets plenty of opportunities to continue petsitting in the future, thank you again!”
“Haleigh did such a great job with our energetic dog! She was prompt, thorough with her Rover card responses, and went above and beyond in caring for Turner! Would absolutely book again!”
“Emily was very easy to work with and flexible. Our dogs warmed up to her very fast, unexpectedly so for one of them which is particularly anxious with new people, and I would not hesitate to reahc out again if needed.”
“Kaylyn was so helpful! My shy kitty loved her! And she was taken good care of! When I got home, she was clean and happy. This is the first time I travel for over a week, and I was so nervous about it. I was so lucky to find Kaylyn. She made it so much easier!”
“Leah was so amazing with our sweet rambunctious boy, I loved getting the rover cards with pictures after each drop in! We took our first family vacation since having our new baby and I felt so comfortable and relaxed knowing our pup was in good hands. Highly recommend Leah :)”
About: Highly experienced and organized professional, seeking a meaningful and flexible way to earn some extra income while providing good care to animals. I love animals but we don't currently have any in our home so I am looking forward to spending some time and taking great care of neighbors' animals! I have a master's degree in social work and a naturally caretaking personality, and a genuine love of and appreciation for animals. For the in-home caretaking, I also have a 5 year old who loves animals and is looking forward to getting a dog when the time is right and I look forward to helping him learn how to care for animals. Unfortunately I am allergic to cats and am unable to care for your feline friends. I work full-time so I am best suited for evening, weekend or early morning commitments. I have a flexible job that allows me to work from home when I need to care for a pet in my own home, so I will be able to give a lot of extra love to my in home animals with advanced notice. I have a fenced yard, no other pets in the home and ready to welcome a furry friend! I also have a husband who is an "animal whisperer" and 5-year-old son who is so sweet and gentle with animals and looking forward to learning how to care for one (in hopes to get one of our own someday soon)!
“Marie did a fantastic job with Snippet and Milky Way. She played with them both every day when visiting, and she was very communicative both before and during her stay.”
“Anna was great with Freddie! She was quick to respond, played with him and gave him cuddles and treats, sent a detailed trip visit report, and added tons of pictures. I would have no issues rebooking her for future pet sitting needs.”
“Kortney exceeded my expectations in all ways. As a new customer I was extremely nervous, and from the moment I spoke to Kortney, I had forgotten why I even felt nervous at all. Roxxie my Boston terrier is my whole world, and I knew she’d be in good hands with Kortney. She even went out of her way to accommodate my night shift hours at the hospital to make sure that Roxxie was taken care of, even though she had to be up extra early for her job as well. If I weren’t moving to another state id choose Her for my pet needs every time!! Thank you so much Kortney for making this last hectic week so much easier for me!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly love caring for them! I’ve had dogs my whole life and am currently a proud cat stepdad. I’ll provide your pet with attentive, personalized care and a comfortable, welcoming stay while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for—and to give you peace of mind until you’re back together. I'm currently working from home with a lot of flexibility to walk or plays with your pet. I am currently available around the clock to board. I have a fenced in yard, and would also be able to take dogs outside on a leash with full supervision. I am open to board at my house, or house sit if preferred.
“Elizabeth was super reliable with twice-a-day visits, and so loving with Oliver! He loved her from the moment they met, and she executed all of his needs (food, vitamins/meds, treats, potty breaks -- everything!) with total ease. She took a picture each time, and reported any concerns right away. Elizabeth truly went above and beyond. I could not recommend her more highly!”
“Oh my gosh! Thank you Jill! Monk wants you back ASAP. You arrived on time, gave Monk loving attention , fed and played with him. He is in love with you. We will certainly call you back to walk or visit with our dog very soon.”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, until the recent passing of my family dog. I am a graduate of The Ohio State University with a BS in Animal Sciences. I have worked at the Columbus Zoo, dog boarding facilities, and vet hospitals so I have a pretty good understanding of dog health and behavior. I am pretty low-key, so I try to be as calm and accommodating to all dog personality types. Whether you have a quiet senior or an excitable puppy, I can bend and mold to your doggo's needs! My services does not stop with just dogs, please ask me about your other lovable critters! I do work full time, so my services will primarily be available after 3:30 and on weekends. If my services are needed before 3:30pm, Please arrange them with me well ahead of time so that I can make the necessary changes in my FT work schedule to fulfill your needs! I am currently working full time Monday-Thursday, so I am available Fridays-Sundays. Depending on your location, I may be available for evening drop ins during the week after 530pm. If you are looking for Housesitting during the weekdays, I am able to take requests on a case-by-case basis. I have a cat of my own at home. Out of respect for both your pet and my own, I typically prefer coming to you and providing care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Pets stress less when they are able to remain at home in a familiar space. I will treat your home respectfully and
“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!”
“Abby was amazing! She was very friendly and easy to communicate with. She went above and beyond, staying past the requested time which I really appreciated. Looking forward to booking her again!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Ericka! She is among the most caring, educated, and thorough sitters I know. Her ability to understand pet body language is remarkable — she notices even the most minor details and knows precisely what a pet needs to feel safe and happy. Ericka is incredibly consistent and reliable, and I’ve never once had to worry when she’s looking after my dog. She treats every animal as if they were her own, and her calm, attentive nature has made her the only person I fully trust to care for my pup. If you’re looking for someone knowledgeable and compassionate, I can promise you that Ericka is the best.”
About: I've lived with pets my whole life and have found a passion for caring for animals with the same love you have for them! I specialize in cats of all ages and dogs over the age of one. I've had about 5 years of experience in working with anxious dogs who are scared of everything - very used to taking a long time to grt scaredy dogs outside. With that, I'm very experienced in delivering medications or cleaning up messes. I understand how stressed our fur babies feel when we need to leave them and my main goal is to make them as comfortable as absolutely possible. I work full time Monday-Friday but do have some work from home days during the week. I would be more than happy to visit your home during the day for walks or quick take outs! I am also happy to come visit you and your fur babies at anytime to get a better idea of your schedule. I am working on getting Fear Free certified and would be more than happy to provide that certification once acquired. I would be happy to crate your pets if needed. I'll send plenty of photos and updates throughout my visit!

Lauren was amazing! She took care of our two dogs for the week while we were out of state. She gave thorough updates and kept us in the loop with any concerns, etc (dogs paw irritated) to see how she could help. We will rebook her every time we need a Rover!
I feel so comfortable having Lea dog sit when I’m away. She is incredibly attentive, generous, loving, communicative, and responsible. I am so grateful whenever she is available to help, because I know I don’t have to worry about a thing while I’m away, and my dogs will be overjoyed to spend time with her! Highly recommend!!

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Worthington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
