“Amber was awesome with our two cats! She was very communicative, followed our instructions, and was great with our two boys. We could tell they were very well cared for while we were gone. We’ll definitely be booking with Amber again!”
About: Hi! My name is Camille and I’m a caring and reliable pet lover with over 5 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. Whether your animal needs a fun walk, a meal while you’re away, or some extra love and attention while you’re out of town, I’m happy to help! I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your furry family members in someone else’s care, so I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated along the way. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friends!❤️🐾 I’m a nurse, so I typically only work 3-4 days a week! On my days off, I am easily available to provide care for your furry friends! Unfortunately, I am currently unable to care for pets in my home. I am available to provide services at your home such as feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes, or simply providing some extra love and attention!
About: Registered Nurse offering specialized care for senior and special-needs pets in the area, temporarily offering introductory rates to build my client base. 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.
“Jayde was amazing! Our girl Luna absolutely fell in love with her and had the best time. She kept us updated, took great care of Luna, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth is fantastic! Purrfect loves her and so do I. She’s so good with my cat and knows just want she wants as far as her food and toys. I highly recommend her.”
“Mikaela was great! She always sent pics and did everything she could to get my little scaredy cat out and playing. She followed all instructions and left the house nice and clean. Would definitely hire her again!”
About: Hi! My name is Lucy, and I'm a current veterinary student at the University of Illinois. I have previously pet sat for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes and would love to care for your pet while you are away. I originally started pet sitting in high school (about 6 years ago) to gain animal care experience. Since then, I have worked at kennels and vet clinics and am learning new skills every day at school! I'm hoping to pet sit while I'm home during school breaks, so I am pretty flexible when it comes to my availability. I'll do my best to accommodate you and your pet's needs! Because of my family dog at home, I am currently only offering drop in visits, walks, care, etc. at your home. This is to guarantee the health and safety of all animals involved. While pet sitting, I love to keep you updated with photos and notes! If I notice anything at all, I will reach out to you so you can stay informed and make the best decision on how you would like me to proceed with the care of your pet.
About: Hello! I'm a proud Upper Arlington parent who's worked with animals my whole life. I'm a registered and insured member of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS), and I've called Columbus home for over 20 years. I care for pets in Upper Arlington, Grandview Heights, Marble Cliff, Clintonville and Worthington. I have 28 years of personal experience with dogs and cats and time volunteering with local humane societies and shelters. Animal care and advocacy has always been a big part of my life. A large portion of my experience is in senior care, which is one of the most important times in a dog's life in terms of their relationship with us. It is always an honor to work with seniors. I also work in dog socialization, and have significant experience with cats, along with incidental exposure to ferrets and rabbits. Pets who need oral meds or a little extra patience are in good hands with me, and so are the easygoing ones who just want a great walk. When you book with me, the person who answers your first message is the same person who shows up at your door, every time. Cats get the same full attention dogs do too, with a promise of fresh water, a clean litter box if requested, playtime, and a photo with a little blurb about how the visit went. One dog. One walk. Every time. In a multi-dog home, each dog gets their own walk. House sitting covers evening, overnight, and morning care, with a 20-minute walk for dogs each evening and morning. I can also blend services: a visit can add a walk, a few visits a day can stand in for an overnight, and an overnight can add a midday drop-in. Each piece is booked at its regular rate. If you need an odd mix, ask. As a registered and insured NAPPS member, I take pet care and building trust with owners very seriously. Every new relationship starts with a no-pressure meet and greet at your home before anything moves forward to determine compatibility and to learn more about your family member. Off duty, I share the job with Steve, a rescue rat terrier from Columbus Humane who's appointed himself Chief Inspiration Officer, Morale Officer, and, most days, The Real Boss. Pet care is my full-time focus during working hours, for neighbors and clients who can't get home in time or who need reliable at-home visits while they travel. Evenings and weekends are available for vacations, travel, or emergencies. If you need an odd time, ask. I can usually make it work within the pricing structure. I'm insured through Pet Care Insurance and a NAPPS member. Before any booking we do a free meet and greet at your home. When I care for pets at your place, I stick to your routine. As a personal policy, I keep dogs leashed on every walk.
“Holly did an amazing job taking care of my fur babies while I was away. She made sure to do all the check ins, keep their litter boxes clean,and gave my babies extra love. Thanks Holly!”
About: I grew up caring for medium and large dogs, and for the past few years I’ve been a devoted cat dad. Friends often ask me to look after their pets because they know I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with a variety of pet personalities and routines, and I take pride in making dogs and cats feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their people are away. I am currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible. I am generally available any day of the week and can accommodate most scheduling requests as long as I am given advanced notice. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by trying to follow their normal routines to the best of my ability. In your home, I make sure they get the right balance of attention, exercise, and quiet time. I handle feeding, walks, litter care, play time, and any special instructions with care and consistency. I always check in with updates so you know how your pets are doing, and I aim to create a calm, safe environment where dogs and cats feel relaxed while you’re away.
About: I grew up with a pup of my own and also regularly house sat/ walked friends and families pups! I’ve also helped out with senior dog who might need a helping hand. I recently gained some dog training experience and continue that now! I’m currently working full time but am willing to dedicate my entire weekend to you and your pup/pups! I can walk and house sit pups from very early morning to very late at night! I am also willing to stay the night! I will cater to whatever the homeowner decides! I may also bring my own fur baby if the owner wants a friend for their pup! Due to my dog training experience, I can tell if your dog wants to play or even give a quick nail trim!
About: I grew up around dogs, never having lived without one. I love all animals, and firmly believe that no matter what, they all deserve love and care. I currently work part time with a varied schedule, so I will typically have half of any day of the week to provide pet care. Whenever I am unable to directly watch a dog, I will crate them; I am NEVER comfortable leaving a dog roaming free by themselves. I apply toddler logic basically: the worst things always happen when you turn your back on them. However I understand that there can be exceptions, such as a dog or cat that roams freely without any issues whatsoever. I never want to put an animal in a situation where they may cause harm to themselves or others, and I am more than happy to comply with any specific safety standards you have set for your own pet's health and well-being.
About: I have been an animal lover since the day I was born. My mom’s nickname for me growing up was Snow White because I would make friends with the animals everywhere I go. I work full time as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic where I work with animals 5 days a week and find work on the side house and cat sitting for family, friends, and mutual. As the designated “responsible mom friend” amongst my peers I’m lucky enough to have been honored with the task of looking after multiple pets, homes, and apartments throughout the years taking care of peoples furry family members they sadly have to leave behind when out of town and the homes they live in just to keep a responsible eye on things while their owners are away. I’m a type A, an Aquarius and an ENFJ As mentioned I do work full time at a Vet clinic. I get 2 weekends and 2 weekdays off a month. My schedule is typically either 7:15am-4:30pm with a break from 12-1pm or 10:30am-7:30pm with a break from 1-2pm. I am willing stop by to perform pet care during my breaks at work depending on the distance. I get my schedule out a month in advance and typically schedule my personal (trips, obligations, appointments etc.) a month ahead of time as well I have experience administering medication, feeding, changing litter box, dog walking, and of course giving lots of love and affection and play time to pets.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Hilliard
This was our second time using Kyra's sitter services for our three cats. Everything was just as amazing as the first time! We didn't have to worry about anything. We knew she would arrive on-time and take care of our kitties per the details we left. We have a finicky eater amongst our three girls and Kyra was patient with her and was able to get her to eat all her food. Looking forward to having Kyra cat sit for us again!
Alexandra took great care of our cats while we were out of town. She made sure their water was fresh, cleaned the litter, played with them, and gave them all the pets/treats! She sent lots of photos and was able to head over early the next morning to help when we noticed one of the feeders got knocked over. Would definitely recommend!
Erin is a great sitter that takes amazing care of our 2 cats. I appreciate her communication, her attention to detail to their routine and that she was able to continue my cats new medicine. I know my cats are in great hands when she is watching them. Will book with her again!
Kayla did a fantastic job watching my cat, Jasper, and maintaining my plants while I was away. I could see that Jasper immediately took to her and he was happy and comfortable being around her. She was quick to respond to my pet sitting request and she was professional, prompt, and met all my expectations. She even had to deal with the unfortunate situation of my front door lock getting stuck in place from the humidity. She was great at communicating and was willing to do what was needed to get into my house. I felt badly for the door getting stuck on her, but she didn't let that stop her!
Alexandria was very attentive and nice when we did our meet and greet. Our cats are high maintenance (multiple food additives, a very picky eater, etc.), but Alexandria took care of it all. They even were able to give my one cat his pill and administered his inhaler, which they said they have never done before. It can be a little daunting, so I really appreciated they were willing to give it a shot and did so successfully. They sent lots of photos and even did the dishes before they left, which was definitely not an expectation. They noticed one of the microchip feeders stopped working right, and immediately messaged me and did all the steps to try and get it fixed. I made an oopsie and didnt add that I needed Alexandria to check in on the weekend. They were able to catch that and checked in with me to make sure someone was coming. I didnt have anyone, but they were able to make 2 hour long check ins for the whole weekend. I appreciate Alexandria's thouroughness, attentiveness, and the small extra things they did to make my cats as comfortable as possible for the entire week we were gone. We greatly appreciate you, Alexandria!
We had a great experience! Communication was excellent throughout the entire booking, and we really appreciated all the updates and photos of Ted while we were away. It was clear that Ted was well cared for and getting lots of attention, scritches, and love 😊 We also appreciated the extra thoughtfulness of bringing in our package and cleaning up after Ted when he got sick. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We would absolutely book again!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Hilliard is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 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.

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.

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 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.
