“Isabel was the best sitter we’ve had in a long time! Our cat was so well loved, I think he started to miss her! Followed instructions wonderfully, communicated with us through every visit, and provided detailed updates on him (with tons of pictures!!). she’s definitely our only choice next time we need a sitter!”
About: I have about 15 years experience with all sorts of animals ranging from big dogs to rodents, I provide walking an check-ins for dogs an cats. When going for walks just around the neighborhood I like to add just a little running to get those heartbeats pumping. With check-ins I'm available to do about 3-4 times a day if needed, I am also willing to give medicine if your pet requires it. I'm flexible when it comes to schedules an am always willing to work with you so you an your pet get the best service provided. If you have any questions or concerns I will be more than happy to address it, just shoot me a message an I'll get back to you within 24-48hrs It's something that I have always wanted to do, and I am willing to rearrange and schedule pet care and walking as needed for my client's pets. In my own home, I make sure that my cats are well fed, exercised, groomed, and up to date on their routine vet visits and vaccines to ensure they are healthy and happy. In my client's home, I make sure that the animal is comfortable with me in any and all situations. I ensure that they are also fed, given medications if needed, exercised, and loved all in a visit.
About: I’ve cared for animals for most of my life, including dogs, cats, chickens, peafowl, and other farm animals. I also have experience providing dog walks and drop-in visits through Wag!, where I have cared for a variety of dogs while following each pet owner’s specific instructions and routines. I understand the importance of following routines, providing safe care, and paying attention to an animal’s behavior and needs. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a drop-in visit, playtime, feeding, or companionship while you’re away, I will make sure they are well cared for and comfortable. I currently work part-time and maintain a flexible pet care schedule. My work hours can vary from week to week, but I communicate clearly with pet owners and respond promptly to requests. My weekday availability is typically in the afternoon and evening, most often after 3 PM due to my work schedule. On weekends and many days off, I have greater flexibility and can often accommodate additional daytime walks, visits, and pet care needs. When caring for pets, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and following each owner’s instructions as closely as possible. I make sure pets have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also pay close attention to their behavior and comfort level so I can help them feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away.
“Emily has only been working with us and our sweet pup for a week so far and we are very impressed! She’s punctual, shares detailed information with us and is very sweet. We are excited to continue working with her!”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I currently have two dachshunds and am also the designated sitter for three cats who belong to my brothers, so I have a love for both! I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and love surrounding myself with them. I’ve had lots of experience sitting for pets, ranging from German shepherds to kittens. I have lots of experience working with puppies and senior dogs. I am currently at home full time for the rest of the summer before I start my first year at law school this fall! I wanted to have a relaxing and fun next couple of months before starting possibly the hardest journey of my life, and I thought no better way to do that then spend time with animals. I’m always out walking, especially during the summer and would love to have a cute furry friend to accompany me! Since I am home full time, I am very flexible and have the ability to provide lots of love and care toward your pets. I’ve just recently finished up my internship, so I am available most weekdays. Mornings and early afternoons work best for me, but I am flexible! I always make sure my pets feel loved and cared for. My parents travel a lot and rely on me to be with the dogs 24/7 which I gladly do. I make sure to take them on walks (long enough that their little legs can handle). I’ve realized that a lot more dogs than expected have separation anxiety, so I always try to be as present as possible for them! The same applies for cats. I understand cats can vary when it comes to personality and temperament, and that has helped me understand the best approaches for them and how to interact in a way that is respectful to them.

I enjoy taking care of dogs on long walks and playing fetch with them outside in the yard i have experienced dealing with a variety of dogs and pets. I have ample amount of experience giving dogs medicine that prescribed to them and feeding and giving plenty of water

I'm likely to be available and would love to help take this responsibility off your chest! I understand that all dogs are different and may require different care! My dogs are fed three times a day, taken out 3-7 times a day depending on how often people are home. They are allowed on furniture & we have an unfenced yard with rope leashes and kennels if needed for boarding! I prioritize customized care for any animals I look after, anything to make them comfortable!

“I asked to drop in and let my 90lb Lab out during lunch times. She sent pics and updated me on how he was doing. She did a great job and I know gave my doggie some extra loving while we were gone. Absolutely will recommend to anyone and will request her again!”
About: I have cared for my own pets for ten years, and I began my pet sitting business at age 14. I absolutely love working with animals. I travel a lot, but love to work as much as possible when I am home! During that time, I am available pretty much 24/7 for pet care. I believe that communication is incredibly important, especially when you are entrusting your beloved pet to a stranger. I always message the owner with any concerns or updates.

Leah did an outstanding job dropping in on my 3 dogs over the weekend. She was attentive, made sure the Goldie did not sneak any of his findings past her, and was kind enough to clean up after them when needed. The daily reports kept me well informed, and she was very open to communication. I highly recommend her, and I know my dogs would love to see her again.

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

- 96% 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.
