Andrea was great with our two dogs. She communicated well and our dogs loved playing with her. She also accepted our request with only a few days notice for a holiday which was great. Would highly recommend!

Marlyn was great with my anxious pup. Violet was nervous when she came in and Marlyn took the time to make her comfortable. She provided visit photos and it was clear that violet was happy and relaxed with her. I will definitely work with her again!

About: I have been watching dogs since I was a kid. Starting in elementary school I would watch an adult and senior dog, Frankie and Bianca, for my neighbor. What started as just feeding, walks, and playtime grew to include cleaning up after them and handling medications and minor, non-medical, palliative care. As an adult I petsit regularly for friends and family. I love playing with all furry friends to ensure their brains stay stimulated! I love snuggling and giving all the pats and attention to cuddly pets, but am always content to just offer a comforting presence to even the most solitude-seeking animals. A close friend had a horrible experience with boarding her cat once which really motivated me to enter the pet-sitting space. I know how important and deserving of love and respect all animals are, so I can promise I would care for your pets as if they were my own! I am based in Northwest Columbus but work in Gahanna, so depending on where you live I can come by for 2/3 potty breaks for your pet(s)! My weekends are open for animal time as well! If you leave trash bags, broom, dustpan, paper towels/rags, and pet cleaner in an easy to find place I can ensure your home will be found in the same good condition you leave it in! I change diapers at work so I am not easily grossed out. Whether it is scooping poop or cleaning hairballs, I got it covered!

Corey was an amazing Rover sitter! He was on time, took wonderful care of my cat, and went above and beyond by washing all of the food and water bowls before I got home. My cat had a great play session, and Corey sent lots of adorable photos and updates throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I always knew how my cat was doing. I would absolutely book Corey again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!

About: I’m dependable, patient, and tuned in to each pet’s personality. I grew up with dogs, currently help walk and sit friends’ dogs, and I’m also a lifelong cat owner, so I’m comfortable reading animal body language and adjusting to different temperaments. What sets me apart is that I don’t treat pet care like a generic checklist. I pay attention to routines, comfort levels, energy, and quirks, whether your dog needs a brisk walk, a slower sniff-heavy stroll, or calm company during a drop-in. I’m especially good with shy, sensitive, or particular pets who need someone steady and observant. I work full-time, so pet care fits best into my mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m generally available before 8am or after 6pm on weekdays, and I have more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to do dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and general check-ins. I don’t offer boarding, but I can provide reliable care in your pet’s own home where they’re most comfortable. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits in the client’s home. I do not board pets in my home. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible: feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, litter box care, playtime, medication instructions if needed, and basic home check-ins. I’m careful about doors, gates, leashes, and making sure pets are secure before I leave. For dogs, I can do anything from an energetic walk to a slower sniff-heavy outing, depending on their age, energy level, and personality. For cats, I give them space if they’re shy, attention if they want it, and keep their food, water, and litter area clean. I’m very tuned in to pet body language and try to make each visit feel calm, safe, and consistent.

My cat Nori is always in great hands with Meghana. She's attentive to his needs and notices details such as when my water fountain started making noises or when Nori starts sneezing and how many times he does it. Nori gets along well with Meghana and is so well taken cared of that I no longer get anxious when I have to go on a trip because I know exactly who I want to book! I highly recommend Meghana for your pet sitting needs!

She asked such thoughtful questions to ensure she knew about his care and what he would need. During the visits with our pup, she has been so detailed and loving with our boy. It’s clear that she really enjoys what she does. Could not ask for a better pal for our pup! Thank you, Yasmin!!

About: What truly sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the care I put into understanding them. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I find real joy in spending time with them and earning their trust. As an Animal Science major, I combine that love with science, basing my care on reliable, evidence-based information rather than guesswork. Learning about animal behavior, nutrition, and health has helped me better understand how animals communicate and what they need to feel safe and comfortable. I enjoy caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I’m patient with puppies who are still learning routines and boundaries, and I’m equally attentive with senior pets who need a gentler pace and closer observation. I believe every animal deserves to be treated as an individual, with kindness, respect, and consistency. To me, pet care is more than a responsibility—it’s something I truly care about, and I always aim to provide a calm, loving, and thoughtful environment for every pet I look after. Here’s a natural, caring English version that sounds thoughtful and responsible, not overly medical: — I also adjust my daily care based on each pet’s specific needs. For example, because Golden Retrievers are more prone to developing tumors, I make a habit of gently feeling my dog’s body every day while petting him, checking for any unusual lumps or changes so I can notice issues as early as possible. My cats have more sensitive stomachs and are prone to diarrhea, so I pay close attention to their litter box habits and stool consistency. To me, careful observation and early awareness are an important part of responsible, loving pet care. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always start by learning their routine, preferences, and any special needs. I follow feeding schedules carefully, provide appropriate exercise and playtime, and make sure pets have both stimulation and time to rest. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and bathroom habits so I can quickly notice any changes. I keep living spaces clean and safe, including daily cleaning and regular deep cleaning of areas like litter boxes, food bowls, and sleeping spaces. I adjust my care based on the individual animal—whether that means gentle handling for senior pets, structure and positive reinforcement for younger pets, or extra patience for shy animals. My goal is to help pets feel comfortable, secure, and as close to their normal routine as possible while their owners are away.

Another wonderful experience with Kaitlyn taking care of Patsy. She does exactly what she’s asked to do, and then some. She’s attentive, takes excellent care of her clients, and her communication is spot on. Not that I want her to get booked up, but if you’re hesitant about this young lady to take care of your pet, don’t be.. they are in great hands. Thank you again Kaitlyn

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Worthington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Worthington on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,650 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Worthington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Worthington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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. 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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.

To find sitters in Worthington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Worthington. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
