About: I’ve dog sat my families and friends animals while they’ve been out of town while also taking them on walks and giving them the attention they need. I currently have open availability after 11 am as I stay home home and also take care of my own animals and my house. I have plenty of time to drop by and check on them and also take them on walks I have two dogs myself who require daily medication, attention as well as taking them on walks, car rides and more. I’ve had dogs my entire life from puppy stage all the way to end of life. Whatever your pet needs I am there
“Shelly is amazing! She does a great job taking care of our kitties and always gives updates when she comes. It is wonderful to have someone you can count on ☺️”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 11 years old. I have always been trusted to love and care for animals. I always put the animals first and do my best to make them feel at home! I currently work a full time job from 9-5. However I am free most nights and more than happy to fill my days with quality time with pets! I have a fenced in yard and a dog park in my complex. I have also had numerous house/dog/cat sitting jobs where I have been trusted with taking care of these things.
About: Registered Nurse offering specialized care for senior and special-needs pets in the area: As a clinical professional with an extensive healthcare background, I bring clinical observation, safety, and gentleness to pet care. I specialize in providing peace of mind to owners of senior and special-needs dogs and cats who require extra patience or medical support. Because I look after a cat of my own, I know how stressful it is to leave a beloved pet with health challenges at home alone. I offer part-time care with open, flexible daily availability to ensure your pet stays strictly on their routine. Because I choose to work part-time with open, flexible availability, pet care doesn't just squeeze into my routine. Rather, it acts as the anchor of my day. My flexible schedule allows me to prioritize your pet's specific routine, whether that means a precise morning medication window, a midday wellness walk, or a late-evening check-in. Because I am not rushing between a rigid 9-to-5 job, I can dedicate my full, undivided attention to monitoring your pet’s comfort, pacing, and medical needs exactly when they need me. I love meeting animals right where they live! Because I have a temperamental senior cat who rules my own house, I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes. This environment is especially vital for the senior and special-needs pets I often work with, as keeping them in familiar surroundings dramatically reduces stress. Visiting pets where they are most comfortable allows me to focus on maintaining their precise daily routine, accurately administering any required medications, and providing a calm, dedicated presence right in their comfort zone.
About: I have walked and transported multiple breeds and all ages. Cared for all ages from pup to senior. Can walk multiple pets at once and typically use a waist leash for a more secure walk. I currently work part time and mostly from home so I I am able to provide easy care in my home or yours. We have a fenced back yard. We have a fenced back yard and 4 dogs at home various sizes but are all dog friendly of any age. We are the go to dog sitters for friends and families pups when needed.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and taking care of them has always come naturally to me. I treat pets like family, and they can usually tell - most warm up to me within minutes. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages and temperaments, including seniors, dogs who are hard of hearing, anxious, or need a slower pace. I started pet sitting at thirteen for family and neighbors, and over the years, I’ve cared for many Rover clients as well. Now that I’m settled in Clintonville, I’m looking to build long-term relationships with local pet parents. I work from home full-time, which means your pet isn’t just getting the basics - they’re getting company, attention, and a calm, steady presence throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or couch cuddles, I follow your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and at home. If you have a trip coming up or need someone reliable in your corner, feel free to reach out. I’m flexible, communicative, and truly enjoy spending time with the pets I care for. Working remotely allows me to cater to your pets specific needs. I am entirely flexible with whatever works best for your schedule, assuming the dates are not blocked on my calendar. I spend time with them as though they are a family member or friend. I prefer staying in the owners home because animals tend to be much more comfortable when they are accustomed to the environment. I am more than happy to take care of additional household chores such as watering plants or laundry. I can assure you your home is in good hands when I am staying there.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I had my own dog for 10 years before he passed away and have had cats throughout my life. I’m comfortable administering medications to dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. My healthcare background has taught me patience, reliability, attention to detail, and a trauma-informed approach to care. I’m especially comfortable taking things slowly with pets who are anxious, shy, older, or simply need a little extra patience. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. While I do work during the day on weekdays, when I commit to caring for your pet, they become a priority in my schedule. I plan my time so I can meet their needs with regular check-ins, feeding, playtime, and attention. I also have some availability on weekends and will work to make sure your pet receives consistent, reliable care while you’re away. I provide care only in my client’s home, where pets are most comfortable and able to stay in their normal routine. I focus on keeping things as consistent as possible by following your pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I take a calm, respectful approach and give pets time to adjust so they feel safe with me in their space. I also treat your home with care—keeping things tidy and making sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. My goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a well-cared-for home.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life, meaning I understand how to interact and handle dogs of all ages. I also enjoy being around dogs so spending time with your pet will never feel like a chore or inconvenience. I’m a medical student at Ohio university (Dublin campus), so would be open to walking or house sitting pets as I can around my school schedule. I am reliable and responsible, meaning I will be respectful of the home I am in and make sure to understand the care I will be providing for the pet and I will show up when I need to, I will not leave any pet stranded.
“Gwen took fantastic care of our cat when we were away for a two-week long trip. I am always nervous about leaving my pet for so long, but with Gwen’s help I knew he was not only being cared for, but nurtured as well. Gwen came over every day to make sure Rue had company, and I am grateful I got to enjoy my trip knowing he was well looked after. Gwen is friendly, has great communication, and sends photos every day. She even left a very thoughtful gift at the end of her last visit. I would/will 1000% book with Gwen again, and you should too!!”

My services have low fees because I am starting out on the app. Please leave a review! I work part time and have lots of daily availability to drop in or provide walks, with notice I am available for boarding and overnight stays! I have a low stress home environment, no kids, no other animals. A full unfenced yard - i live close to a park so I am always walking and would be delighted to take pups for walks.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Worthington
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Worthington is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 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.

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.

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