“Mallory was excellent sitting for us over a long weekend! She was very communicative over the whole period and gave our pup so much love. We will definitely be looking to hire Mallory anytime we need a walker or sitter. Bonus, she left our home spotless so our return home was super easy!”
“Jessica was great! She kept me updated with texts and pics regularly. She also took Zoey on long walks daily. I came home with a card saying thank you for trusting her with my dog and some really cool little pictures she took with her camera inside the card. Very sweet and thoughtful. I will definitely be using her again! My dog Zoey also loved her!”
“Emma watched Sadie while we were away for a day. She was communicative when needed, did everything we asked of her, and even stayed a little while extra to comfort Sadie when Sadie was afraid of fireworks going off outside. Sadie was cared for and in good spirits when we returned. We would happily book Emma again!”
“Emily is amazing!! We are so grateful to her for being so caring and for always communicating with us to let us know how our kitties are doing. She watched them for 10 days while we were away and we managed to have a totally stress-free vacation thanks to her!! We would 100% rebook Emily again- our cats adore her (even the one with severe anxiety)!!!”
“Samantha stayed with our two high maintenance Velcro pugs for 16 days. She was an incredible communicator (and photographer!) providing lots of updates and photos daily for us. She kept us in the loop on a minor health issue that our senior pup was having and even gave us a heads up that we’d be running out of medication in a few days. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs. We will absolutely use Samantha again! Our dogs will be thrilled to have her back too!”
“Madeline stayed with my babies over night which I much appreciated it. She sent pictures daily of them. The 1st day with them she didn;t leave which made them feel secure. Felt like they were loved and taken care of since have 2 puppy mill moms and 3 cats which think Zoey maybe slept with her since the room she slept in Zoey has now claimed for her room.”
“Second booking with Lauren was just as great as the first. She has a calming presence for my high energy pup. Lauren was responsive and sent great pics/updates. And she left my place cleaner than I left it! Wonderful experience.”
“Maggie went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were well taken care of and exercised every day. She took such loving end refill care of them. She took some great pictures and shared the on a regular basis.”
“Noah was an amazing dog sitter. Such a nice guy, he kept us informed of our two pups well being. He was able to stay with our pups during the night. As most of us are aware pups are needy like five year old children. Noah took care of their needs perfectly send photo updates. I think the dogs actually missed him when he left. We would definitely hire him again. Five stars.”
“Kailyn watched our dog in our home for a long weekend and was wonderful! She provided updates and pictures. She took good care of our home while we were away. We felt completely comfortable with her and plan to have her watch our pup in the future!”
“Kylie was great with Scout and provided updates to ease my mind (as this was our first time leaving her at home with a sitter). We will be rebooking Kylie in the future.”
“Emily was AMAZING! We were in town for a wedding, and she accommodated us very last minute. We used Rover for the first time and she made us feel very at ease and confident our dogs were in great hands. Lola and Birdie 100% recommend and we will be using her again when we are in Columbus!”
“Jamie was fabulous! She communicated often and sent lots of pics. She left my home and my fur baby clean and healthy and exactly as I left them. I can tell she made a new friend. ❤️”
“We love Megan. She is very communicative and always sends pictures of our dog while we are gone. Our dog is hard to warm up to people and she seems very comfortable with Megan while we are gone. We very highly recommend her!”
“Maeve was wonderful with our two large German Short Hair Pointers. She was on time, followed directions to a T and most importantly, she made our dogs happy. We will definitely ask Maeve to house sit again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Worthington is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Worthington
Eleanor was a great pet sitter and house sitter. She was very attentive with Penny and spent LOTS of time with her while we were away on vacation. It was great to know that my fur baby was in good hands with Eleanor. I really appreciate everything she did with Penny and the love and care she provided.
TLDR: Amber took great care of our dog Ginger for one week while we were out of town for vacation, and I would 1000% recommend her! I reached out to Amber with a last-minute request to dog-sit in our home for one week while we were out of town. She responded quickly and set up a meet-and-greet to make sure that it would be a good fit. She asked many insightful questions that reflected her experience with animal training and care, as well as her desire to be the best dog sitter possible. Our dog instantly took to her during the meet-and-greet, which isn't always a given. Ginger is an anxious, stubborn terrier who takes daily medication. Amber administered daily medication with no issue and sent very thorough and heartwarming daily updates on Ginger's walks, potty habits, food intake, and medication. Amber was a great house guest and left our place very tidy after her one-week stay. She is a fantastic sitter, and I would recommend her to anyone, and we will definitely be booking with her again!
Emily is an absolute gem of a dog sitter!! I was out of town for 6 days traveling and my Timber girl had the time of her life while I was gone. Emily gave me updates in the morning and night with lots of pictures, videos, and a general layout of their day. You can really tell that she loves animals and treated my dog as her own. For a little added touch she even left a note for me to come back home to, how sweet!!
Hallie was the perfect fit for our pets and home. The meet and greet allowed Vanna and Scout to be comfortable with a new person to care for them and we came home to relaxed and happy fur babies! Hallie was a perfect communicator- photos, questions, updates were all very comforting as we were away. She has a relaxed demeanor that I know Vanna and Scout appreciated!
Kaylee was awesome! Really came through for us and our pets. It was a last minute request but Kaylee accepted without hesitation and took great care of our home as well as our pets! We really appreciate it. We will definitely use services again in the future and I highly recommend.
Taylor was great! This was our first time using rover and we we’re going to be out of the country for over 2 weeks. She came over and met our cat Panther before we left gave us confidence she was good either way cats. During the trip she gave us regular updates and the most important thing was Panther looked happy. Our only regret with Taylor is that she’s moving out of state. We cannot recommend her more highly!
Loren took care of my two dogs while I was gone for 7 days. She sent updates twice a day (even when I was unable to access the internet) which I appreciated. I have a very reactive dog and she was very patient with him, even came to meet him twice before the trip. Would be happy to use her services again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Worthington on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,512 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Worthington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Worthington walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Worthington maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
