“Irma was a fantastic cat sitter! We were in a bind when our normal sitter decided to go on vacation last minute. We couldn't find a sitter in our area because of the winter holiday, so we searched along the route of our road trip East and luckily found Irma! Such a gem! She has a cozy space, perfect for shy cats, with plenty of toys, cat trees and hiding spaces for our cat to feel comfortable on his own timeline. Our cat, Gary is a people cat, so needed somebody around, but he also does not like other animals, and Irma only boards one family's cat(s?) at a time. So the situation was perfect for us. The cherry on top is that Irma is a kind, caring person who clearly loves taking care of cats. She sent us daily updates with Gary's activities and was immediately available with any questions we had through the whole process from booking to pickup. When we came up pick up Gary, he was clearly so happy and comfortable. :) We would absolutely recommend Irma for sitting, and will definitely use her again when we head East. Thank you SO much Irma!”
“Julia was fantastic! She was kind, compassionate, and caring towards my kitties and she followed my instructions perfectly (since I have a cat that needs medication). She helped ease my anxiety, gave me updated pictures daily, and was quick to respond if I had any comments or questions. I will absolutely be using her services in the future!”
“Jake was awesome !!!! We can't thank him enough for taking care of our 4 fur babies, he was polite, considerate, punctual, quick to respond to my texts. We would highly recommend his services. The idea of leaving our dogs while we were on vacation was stressful, Jake and Rover.com completely relieved us from the worry of the care of our dogs while we were away.”
About: As an animal lover, I know pets are family—not just animals. I take pride in giving them the same love and attention they get at home. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just extra cuddles, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and stress-free while you’re gone. As an elementary teacher, I have a structured schedule that actually works really well for pet care. I’m available before and after school, in the evenings, and on weekends. During breaks and summers, I have even more flexibility, allowing me to provide extended care, walks, and drop-in visits. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on making them feel loved, safe, and comfortable—whether that’s sticking to their usual routine, giving them extra playtime, or just spending quality time with them. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Kaleigh was an absolute life saver! She helped me last minute when I had to go out of town for work and provided such a great service. My cat Oma is pretty shy when it comes to meeting new people and Kaleigh did an amazing job of making her feel comfortable enough to come out, get lovings, and play. I appreciated her sending all the daily updates with pictures and loved seeing Oma being taken care of properly. If I could give her 10 stars I would. Thanks Kaleigh.”
About: Hi fellow pet lovers! My love for animals has led me to work in the veterinary field, and I also offer pet sitting as a fun and fulfilling side hobby. With my experience, I’ve learned how to spot signs of distress and can respond quickly if medical attention is needed. I’m also very comfortable giving medications and caring for pets with special needs. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and you can count on them being in safe, loving hands. If you’d like references, I’m happy to provide them. Thanks for considering me! I am located in the beautiful northeastern Ohio area, and can travel further away to the West Side of Cleveland. My day is planned arounf drop-in pet visits. Our home has big land for pets to run around. For kitties i have separate sun room with many play spots, litter box and other necessities.
About: I am a mom to two cats who I adopted as kittens in 2020. Bringing them home was one of the best decisions I made. I’ve utilized pet sitting services in the past and they’ve given me so much peace of mind, I want to be able to do that for others too. I can care for cats of any age as well as small and medium dogs. I’m a big runner so walking is a fun activity for me! I can be flexible with my schedule and I’m here to help! I work part time as a Pilates Instructor so I have free time thought the week and weekends to do drop in visits for your pets. My schedule can be flexible and open. I prefer mornings but I can always make evening visits as well! I will do drop in visits at your home. As part of those, I’ll make sure that fresh food and water is put out, scoop any litter boxes, and administer medicine if needed. I can also bring in mail and packages that arrive while you are away, water plants, and take out trash.
“Stefanie fit us in last-minute and did an amazing job with our pups! She gave us daily updates and pictures, and went above and beyond for us. So thankful & would definitely book again :)”
“I was very happy having Emily care for my two cats while I was away for 9 days. She kept me informed and updated with photos and my place was very tidy when I arrived home. Would highly recommend Emily’s petsitting services.”
About: Recently left my quality management role at Amazon and now pursuing a career in what feeds my spirit - animals. My pets have changed my life for the better, I believe everyone should have the ability to experience what I have! Since I was in kindergarten I have had a unique connection with animals, and starting this new chapter in my life is terrifying yet amazing. So if you decide to book with me or only will you be supporting local (so thank you), but you will feel completely at peace knowing your pet is not just another checkbox on my list…. But a new friend I am happy to have made. I exercise my pets everyday and ensure they are training consistently. I currently have a flexible schedule so we can work on your needs and scheduling. My home is puppy proof, along with a gate I use to separate the upstairs from downstairs so my cat can have some peace and quiet lol
“Love having Reagan come for my cat. He seems to really enjoy her visits and I get the best pic updates 🥰. Also so easy to communicate with, thanks for staying with my Charlie again!”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals in my life and also train my cat to play fetch and tag. I also have taken care of senior dogs during their final moments. Im currently a stay at home housewife and have some free time and I love animals so I definitely don’t mind how long or price for the care I’ll be giving. Also, if I am unavailable due to me, house sitting my husband could always attend and he is a Rover user. I give my cat and my friends animals when watching them all kinds of vitamins and supplements with salmon, fish, squid, and all kinds of other stuff. I give them attention so they know that they are loved and cared for. If the cat at my place is an issue he could stay in the bedroom for the time being
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors’ and friends’ dogs for several years and all throughout my childhood. I love spending time with animals and I’m comfortable with a wide range of pet personalities and needs, and I always treat every pet as if they were my own. I also grew up with cats, so I’m very familiar with daily pet routines:) I’m currently in graduate school with a flexible schedule. Because I don’t work 9-5, I have time to walk, play, and feed your pet throughout the day. When caring for pets in your home, I maintain a calm, clean, and safe environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and routine. I follow all instructions closely, stick to your pet’s usual schedule, and make sure they feel comfortable in their space. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to keeping your pet happy and stress-free.
About: Hi, I’m Debbie! I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly believes dogs are family. ❤️ While I’m new to professional dog walking, I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a variety of situations. I’ve had dogs for many years, cared for my sister’s dogs, helped with the arrival of multiple litters of puppies, and have experience caring for senior dogs. I’ve also recently fostered dogs and regularly walk dogs at my local animal shelter, where I get to spend time with dogs of different personalities, ages, energy levels, and backgrounds. I especially have a soft spot for rescue dogs and love helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every dog is different. Some pups want an energetic adventure and lots of exploring, while others—including senior dogs—may need a slower pace, extra patience, or a little more TLC. I’m happy to meet your dog where they are and give them the individual attention they need. I genuinely love being outdoors, hiking, walking, and spending time in nature, so getting outside with a dog is something I truly enjoy—not just a job. My goal is for your dog to get exercise, attention, companionship, and plenty of love while you’re away. And I’m a cat lover, too! 🐱 I currently have cats of my own and would be happy to provide cat drop-in visits as well. Whether they need food, fresh water, a clean litter box, playtime, or simply some company and attention, I’m happy to help. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. Their safety, happiness, and comfort will always come first. ❤️🐾 My work schedule changes from week to week, so I don’t have the same days off every week. I keep my Rover calendar updated with my available days and times, so what you see on my calendar reflects my current availability. If you have a specific date in mind that isn’t showing as available, feel free to message me and I’ll see what I can do! 🐶🐱❤️ Trust means everything when someone is caring for your pets and entering your home. I don’t take that trust lightly. I’ll treat your home with respect and your pets with the same care and attention I would want for my own. Safety always comes first. I’ll follow your instructions, stay attentive to your pets, make sure doors and gates are secure, and be mindful of their individual needs and surroundings. I’ll also keep you updated so you know how your furry family members are doing while you’re away. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk or stopping in to care for your cat, my goal is simple: keep them safe, happy, comfortable, and loved—and leave you with peace of mind. 🐶🐱❤️

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Columbia Station
This was the first time ever that I didn't have a family member or a friend stop in and take care of my six cats while I was out of town. Jordan T. did such a great job. He came every day after work hours and scooped boxes, refilled water in two locations, filled dry food when needed, gave cat treats and gave wet food to six cats! I received pictures every day and had great communication from him. There was one day he wasn't going to be able to come at the same time as the other days due to a personal appointment. He sent me a message and asked if I wanted him to come earlier or a little later than he was normally coming. I appreciated the ask! My 6 cats were very content when I returned home from my week long vacation. I'll definitely use him again. It was great not having to worry about them while I was gone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Columbia Station is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $16 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.
As of November 2026, there are 319 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Columbia Station. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
