About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 14, starting with neighbors’ dogs for walks and daily care. Over the years, I’ve continued pet sitting for friends, family, and coworkers. I have experience with both dogs and cats, including regularly caring for my parents’ pets and helping a friend with her two cats. In the past few years, I’ve also watched many coworkers’ dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. As a teacher, I have a consistent weekday schedule, which allows me to provide reliable care. I’m available for check-ins ands walks once during the day, as well as mornings and evenings. I’m especially flexible on weekends, when I have more open availability for extended visits, walks, or overnight care. I always make sure pets get the attention, routine, and care they need, even on my busier days. I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment where pets can feel comfortable and at home. Since I live alone and don’t have pets of my own, I’m able to give my full attention to the pets I’m caring for. I stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from the owner. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pet feels secure by maintaining their usual routine and environment. I provide plenty of updates, photos, and communication so owners feel at ease while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and stress free, whether they’re in my home or their own.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for most of my life and have always loved animals. I have experience being the primary caretaker for dogs from puppies to seniors. I am diligent to follow all instructions and will make sure your pets are happy and healthy in a safe, fun environment. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to take care of pets at most times that fit their routine seven days a week. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play. My neighborhood is quiet with several trails and parks nearby that are perfect for pets who like to walk. I’ll also be sure to provide updates including photos.
“jessica was amazing!! since the very first moment i contacted her (last min of course), she was extremely flexible, accommodating, and quick to answer! she took such good care of my cat, was always wanting to play, sent so many photos and detailed updates everyday.”
“Lea went above and beyond what we asked for or expected. We laid out thorough instructions for caretaking for our new puppy to make it as easy and helpful as possible and she still found a way to improve on her care. Lea added her own knowledge of animal husbandry so that our young puppy would feel safe and comfortable with her by feeding her treats inside her crate before releasing her. Lea is very knowledgeable of dogs, puppies, and cats. We got lots of feedback about our pup during her visits. We’ll certainly be asking for her help in the future.”
“Mirelsa is amazing! She has been watching my dog for over a year now and I appreciate everything she has done for my dog and me so much! She truly cares about him and his well being. She gives me great updates throughout the day and sends lots of pictures. She quickly responds to messages and requests! She is flexible. I always have peace of mind knowing she is taking great care of my dog while I am at work! I would definitely recommend her to others!”
About: I'm from Texas and grew up around an assortment of animals, mostly dogs and cats. I have unique experience with newborn kittens including bottle feeding. I also have experience with puppies and large dogs and training, farm experience. I have experience with walk training especially with puppies. I work a full-time job Monday through Friday, Early out Fridays (3 pm) On Weekdays I am available after 6pm until 5am. On Weekends I have open availability. Thank you for checking my schedule, if you have any specific needs please reach out, I am able to adjust my schedule if needed and I have holidays off. I currently only have aquariums but I do my best to make sure that my aquariums are clean and my fish are fed. This makes sure that they don't get sick. I would do the same in a client's home, I do the same when I watch my friends pets as well. I cat sit for a couple friends and help clean up and make sure the cats are fed and have play time.
About: As a German Shepherd Husky owner, I’m fully equipped to handle dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Raising a high-drive breed has given me hands-on experience with confident leash handling, safe play, and providing the physical exercise and mental engagement active dogs need. Safety, reliability, and patience are my top priorities. Whether following strict feeding routines, managing high energy, or ensuring a calm de-stressing environment, I care for every pet with the same vigilance I give my own. You’ll always get prompt communication and daily photo updates for total peace of mind. I’m currently looking for work so my schedule is open! Let me know what you typically prefer when it comes to your pet care and I should be able to accommodate. As a German Shepherd/Husky owner, safe handling and environment control are second nature to me. My home is set up to keep pets comfortable, secure, and stress-free: Double-Door & Leash Protocol: I maintain strict door awareness to prevent door-darting or escape attempts. Leashes are always secured before doors open. Hazards Picked Up: All electrical cords, small household items, human food, and toxic plants are kept out of reach at all times. Controlled Introductions: I never force interactions between animals. All pets are introduced slowly and on-leash in neutral areas to ensure everyone feels safe. Routine & Medical Adherence: I strictly follow your feeding schedules, crate routines, and medication protocols. Emergency Preparedness: I keep contact info for your preferred vet and the nearest local 24/7 emergency clinic on hand at all times.
About: I have been dogsitting for +8 years for friends, family members and dear Rover clients. You will read from some testimonials that I can be trustworthy with their pet(s), so much so that they have referred me to other friends and families. I work full-time near downtown 10-6 on Tuesdays-Fridays and from home Mondays, however there is flexibility throughout the week. I have evenings and weekends generally open to care for your pet with my full attention! I usually care for pets in the comfort of their home! At this time, I, unfortunately, cannot host pets in my home - though this may change at a later time.
“Estefani is such a wonderful and attentive sitter! She is always so considerate and we would book with her again anytime - cannot recommend her enough!”
About: Hi! I have had animals all my life, from hamsters and fish to cats and dogs, I am an animal lover. If I was better at science I would have been a vet, but instead I just want to help you out and play, walk, or babysit your fur baby. I live near plenty of walkable places and would love a fluffy companion to walk with. I have had small to massive dogs in my home since age 5 so all sizes are welcome. I also love and have had cats and would be so happy to keep a kitty company as well. I am a remote worker and therefore working from home gives me a lot of freedom. Most of the time when I don’t travel you will find me laying by the pool on my computer or going for a walk on a call. I will have plenty of time to do so with a furry friend too. I care about your pets safety because I care about animals, so any specific requests can be accommodated if need be! I work remotely so I am able to spend quality time with your pet and be not only physically present but also offer a lot of undivided attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and protect them just the same. Every pet deserves love and attention that makes them feel safe and comfortable.
About: I have been an animal lover since the day I was born. My mom’s nickname for me growing up was Snow White because I would make friends with the animals everywhere I go. I work full time as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic where I work with animals 5 days a week and find work on the side house and cat sitting for family, friends, and mutual. As the designated “responsible mom friend” amongst my peers I’m lucky enough to have been honored with the task of looking after multiple pets, homes, and apartments throughout the years taking care of peoples furry family members they sadly have to leave behind when out of town and the homes they live in just to keep a responsible eye on things while their owners are away. I’m a type A, an Aquarius and an ENFJ As mentioned I do work full time at a Vet clinic. I get 2 weekends and 2 weekdays off a month. My schedule is typically either 7:15am-4:30pm with a break from 12-1pm or 10:30am-7:30pm with a break from 1-2pm. I am willing stop by to perform pet care during my breaks at work depending on the distance. I get my schedule out a month in advance and typically schedule my personal (trips, obligations, appointments etc.) a month ahead of time as well I have experience administering medication, feeding, changing litter box, dog walking, and of course giving lots of love and affection and play time to pets.
“It’s amazing to be able to go on vacation & know your fur baby is in the best care. Geren once again blew me away with her constant communication & utmost respectable care for Sydney. I couldn’t be happier with the service she provided. Thank you Geren!”
“Birdie is so kind and professional. She took care of our two cats while we were on vacation abroad for 2 weeks. Our cats loved her which I think says a lot about a person. She sent so many lovely photos of them. It gave us reassurance that they were acting how they normally do!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life, so being around animals has always come naturally to me. I trained my own dog from 12 weeks old, which taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and understanding each dog's personality. I've also pet sat on and off for several years and genuinely love getting to know every pet I care for. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just hanging out on the couch, I'm happy to match their routine and make sure they feel comfortable while you're away. I'll care for them like they're my own and keep you updated with plenty of pictures, so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. Currently working part time so pretty flexible schedule. Each week may be slightly different but I will have at least a few hours every single day, and don’t work any nights. I will come to your home to take care of your pet, and follow all instructions given to your specific pet and will shower them with lots of love!
“We are so relieved to have found JoVonna. She is officially a member of our family now. Our 4 cats do not socialize with other family members but they took to JoVonna immediately. She administered medicine, kept food and clean water available, and the cats said I have to step up my litter boxes duties to match her. JoVonna exceeded all expectations on timeliness and communication. So grateful and will book her for all future trips.”

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!!
I just hope the next time I need pet care, Chloe is available. The service she provides has always put my mind at ease every time she watched my dog. For several weeks, she was reliable, timely, flexible, and incredibly accommodating to my puppy’s needs. I can’t speak highly enough about the exceptional care she provides—from the pictures and updates to the prompt and consistent communication. I truly appreciate everything she has done and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for outstanding pet care.

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 .
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.
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 .
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.
