About: I’ve been caring for pets for friends and family for the past two years, providing reliable and loving care for both dogs and cats of all ages. I genuinely enjoy spending time with the animals and have always been able to build strong trusting relationships with them. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and commitment to maintaining each pets routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and I take the time to get to know their individual needs throughout my pet and experience. I’ve had no issues or problems and have consistently provided safe dependable care that owners can trust. I work a part time job at a coffee shop so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pups or kitties! I make time each day for feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. Over the past two years I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends and family so I’m comfortable managing different schedules, energy levels and personalities. I enjoy spending time with animals and can easily incorporate pet care into my weekly routine while ensuring each pet receives reliable attentive care. I follow each pets normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I ensure the home remains secure and that the pets are always supervised and safe. I love building trust with both pets and their owners. It is very important to me so I provide reliable care, clear communication, and give regular updates. My goal is to create a calm familiar environment where pets feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners our way.
“She was amazing! I felt very secure knowing my babies were being cared for while I was gone. I constantly received pictures of them. The fact my old boy came out of the room for someone besides myself says a lot. If you are looking for a pet sitter, you will be very pleased with Lashonna’s service.”
“Alana did a fantastic job! The pups took right to her from the beginning. She was very prompt and never missed an appointment. She sent pictures of their walks with a detailed report. We will work with Alana again!”
“Haley provided excellent service over six drop-in’s one weekend for my 3 dogs. She was on time for every one, did exactly what we discussed, and shared timely and effective communication. I will definitely feel comfortable having Haley care for my dogs again.”
About: I’ve lived in houses with pets my whole life ranging from dogs of all different breeds, cats, bunnies, and goats :) I have a lot of love for animals. I enjoy spending time with them and getting to see their personalities. I’m currently working a seasonal job so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I have a flexible schedule so most days I should be available! I take extra care and consideration for every owner that allows me to sit in their house. I follow the instructions given to me as well as leave everything the way I found it. I wash and put away everything I used during my stay. And of course I will give your pets all the love I have!!🩷
“We are so thankful to Kaitlyn for checking in on our 4-month-old puppy! She was so easy to communicate with, kept us updated, and sent us amazing photos of our boy! We would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter!”
“Maddie quickly won over all of our cats, even the most shy girl of the bunch! She is friendly, communicative, and observant of the pets in her care. I will definitely be booking Maddie in the future because I know our girls will be in great hands with her.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I could remember. They’ve always held a special place in my heart. I offer flexibility like no other, as I work from home for my day job. Let me treat your animals the way i’d treat mine, nothing but love and respect! I currently work a hybrid schedule. Some days i’m in the office until 4pm, monday and fridays I work from home, leaving me tons of time to look after your animals! Weekends are typically free. I’m also very flexible on what I offer. You need a house sitter for a getaway weekend? I’m your guy! You need a drop in for bathroom break/walk during the week, I’m your guy! I have a fully fenced in backyard with a very good amount of space. I have 2 cats that love all animals. If i’m coming to your home, it will be treated with the same respect and standards I have for my own. Very clean, safe, and trustworthy!
“Michele was great watching our 2 large dogs for 2 days while we were out of town. She communicated the whole time with updates and photos. Gave great peace of mind!”
“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.”
About: Dependable, loving, experience with horses and dogs of all breeds. I have had dogs all of my life until now. I love them from puppy to senior stages! I am currently unemployed so I am available during the week at any time. Last minute calls are ok with me. Weekends, I am flexible. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I prefer to walk your dog in their own area. However, I will gladly take them to a park for walks also.
About: I've taken care of cat's and dogs all of my life. I have 2 cats that are litter trained. I also know how to teach dogs basic training! I'm currently available everyday except Tuesdays and Thursdays as I have college those days but I'm looking to get extra cash and I love animals I only have 2 cats that I don't allow outside but I let them wonder anywhere in the house.

About: I have six years of experience and have work for multiple kennels. I know how to do daily routines and how to distribute medications. I give a lot of my attention to detail and make sure the pets have the best care. I actually work for a veterinary clinic at this time. Also, I care for my family member's pets on the weekends, when I have time. I normally care for any pet I have in my care in their own homes. I have in the past stayed overnight in my clients' homes.
“Jayson was great with our high energy Australian shepherd while we were gone. He threw the frisbee with her every day even though it was freezing cold! He was very reliable and easy to work with!”
“Isabel was fantastic!! I was nervous about leaving my cats for two weeks, but she took care of them so well and I felt very at ease thanks to her! She arrived to the meet and greet with her own special forms to take notes, was extremely detailed, and so sweet with the kitties :) Would definitely book again in the future!!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, helping care for my family’s Border Collies, Kooikerhondjes, and Labradors. I’ve been walking, feeding, and playing with dogs since I was little, and I love their energy and how easy it is to connect with them. My sister is a dog breeder, so I’m used to being around all kinds of pups! I mostly offer dog walking and would love to keep your dog active, happy, and having fun outdoors. I’m a college student with classes during the day on weekdays, but I’m flexible and happy to work around my schedule. I’m usually available for morning and evening walks, and weekends work great too! I always make sure each dog gets plenty of time and attention. I always make sure dogs are safe and comfortable on our walks. There are some great nearby nature trails and parks where I can take them for exercise and fresh air, or I’m happy to walk them along their usual routes if the owner prefers. I keep a close eye on every dog and make sure they’re happy, secure, and having fun!
“Carrie is the best with our dogs! They absolutely love her, and she always provides excellent care while we’re away. She’s dependable, thoughtful, and leaves the best detailed notes and pictures. We couldn’t ask for anyone better!”
“Tori is wonderful with my girls. One of the girls had an accident and she cleaned it up and made sure everything was clean for me to arrive home. So thankful for her attention to detail.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Yellow Springs on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 904 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Yellow Springs. 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 Yellow Springs 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Yellow Springs. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
