About: I have recently experienced the loss of my own pets. Im not quite ready to get any new pets, but as an animal lover and dog enthusiast there is something missing greatly in my heart. I am eager to utilize my free time to care for your pets. If you or someone you know requires pet-sitting services for a weekend or an extended vacation, please do not hesitate to contact me. This is a new endeavor, and I am uncertain about its duration, but I am committed to providing the same level of care that I gave to my own pets, ensuring your peace of mind while you are away. Please message me if you are interested or know someone who is. 🐶🐱 I am good to take on puppies or senior dogs that require additional care or medicine. I do have a full time job, but am able to be remote. I would glad stay at anyone’s home to sit the pets and add them into my daily routine as I did with my own dogs. Let them out, feed them, walk them, play with them, cuddle them, and ensure they know they will be taken care of under my watch. I can easily take on a crate in my home. I do not have a yard, so I would need to walk them on a leash for them to use the bathroom. Apartment dogs will be great to watch in my home, as they would be use to that atmosphere!
“So grateful I found Beth! Even on short notice, she suggested a Meet & Greet to make sure she understood all instructions, where items were placed, etc. for my cats' drop-in visits. Sent Rover Cards with updates and pictures. Even my cat who is timid of new people came out from hiding during the visits. Will definitely book again!”
About: I have had Dogs ever since I was born! When I was 13, I started watching dogs around the neighborhood doing drop and visits for families while they were out of town. Starting in January 2025 I watched Dogs overnight for this one family and watch them throughout the day for weeks when they went out of town throughout the year. I work a part-time job at a golf course and have very flexible hours. I’m willing to be very flexible and work to help out with your pups. We are also coming into the slow season so I have even more time. Obviously, every animal has its own different needs, so I am able to adapt to what your specific animal needs and will make sure your animals are happy and healthy.
“Sorillian was great! My kitty was well taken care of while I was away and I got daily updates/pictures. Would definitely recommend her and will hopefully be using her again in the future!”
About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life. Growing up, my family was always rescuing pets, and our home was filled with three dogs, three cats, and three birds. We loved giving the "misfit" animals a safe, loving place to call home, and that experience helped shape my passion for caring for pets of all kinds. Over the years, I've cared for my own animals as well as pets for family and friends. As a pet owner myself, I know how stressful it can be to travel or spend time away from your furry family members. You want to know they're not only safe, but also receiving the love, attention, and care they deserve. My goal is to give you that peace of mind while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to your pet's routine, I'll treat your pets like they're my own and make sure they're happy, comfortable, and well cared for until you return. Lastly, I do have lots of experience with geriatric dogs, as one of my dogs currently is 17 years old. I work from home with flexible hours, so drop ins during the morning, afternoon, or evening work well! My schedule is quite flexible and can be worked around based on your pets' needs. One of my pups requires very specific instructions while we are away, so I understand the necessity of this. I will follow your instructions on how to best take care of your pet in your home and on walks. I am comfortable using a multitude of harnesses, leashes, crating, etc.
About: I have many years of experience with all types of dogs. From tiny chihuahuas to great danes! I live in a very dog friendly community and I understand puppies and the importance of their training needs. I am willing to exercise/run your dog if you need me to! I am also experienced with deaf dogs. I know it’s a tough time to get your dog outside for a walk and that’s where I come in. I currently am only accepting dog walks but I’m open to boarding if needed, just message me! I have two mixed breed pups named Teddy and Rex. Can’t wait to meet your pup! I take care of my pets 24-7! I know how important they are to a family. I currently only work part time so I have lots of time to spend with your four legged family members if you need me to! We treat our dogs like family and I would do the same for yours. We have a fenced yard that has room to run around. No dogs on the bed but everywhere else is free reign.
About: I have owned a dog myself since I was eighteen years old! Friends and family rely on me to help care for their pets too! I have two children who are in school during the weekdays. I am available during the day to walk and do potty visits. Some weekends. I am happy to help you with your pets in anyway I am able during the time my schedule allows. Please ask if you need something.
“Solana did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs! We enjoyed all the pictures while we were gone and she made sure to give our pups lots of attention! We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Rebecca is WONDERFUL! She took care of our two cats while we were traveling recently and she really put our minds at ease. She stopped by to meet the cats before our trip so I could go through all the things with her. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future. Thank you, Rebecca!”
About: I have years of experience caring for my own dogs, as well as the pets of friends and family. I fostered for a local rescue group for 5 years and also worked for 2 years as a veterinary assistant, where I gained experience caring for dogs with all sorts of medical and behavioral needs. I have fostered many different types of dogs of different energy levels and sizes. My personal dog is a Jack Russell mix whom I adopted through Franklin County. I am also experienced in giving various types of medications and am willing to work with special needs dogs. I also have a bearded dragon, two rats, a tarantula and some other invertebrates, so if you have any unique pets you need help caring for, let me know! I have a fully remote job that has flexible hours. I work a typical Monday-Friday 8-4 schedule, however I am able to work from your home if needed as long as there is wifi and a place for me to set down my laptop. On weekends, I am happy to take your pets around to a local park, a pet store, or anything else that may help them feel pampered and happy. I have my own car so can arrive and leave at my leisure. I am happy to bring a book or a crochet project to your house and hang out with your pet if they would prefer just knowing someone is around, and I can also take them on walks and help wear them out so they are ready to relax with you after the work day is done.
About: I have over 8 years of experience working with animals, both as a private sitter and as an employee at PetLand. Throughout this time I have cared for dogs of all different sizes from French bulldogs to Mastiffs. I have been a pet owner my entire life, having raised everything from high-energy puppies, a calm rabbit, and a diabetic cat. I know firsthand how stressful it is to leave your fur baby behind, which is why I treat every guest pet exactly like my own family. I operate on a highly flexible schedule, which allows me to build my entire day around the needs of my pet guests. My mornings and evenings are completely open, meaning we start and end the day with dedicated, unhurried routines—long structured walks, fresh meals, and plenty of focused attention. During midday, my flexible hours allow me to easily pop out for drop-in visits or dog walking without rushing. If I am boarding your pet or house-sitting, they will never be left alone for more than 4 hours at a time, ensuring their comfort, safety, and bathroom schedule remain perfectly on track During a typical visit, my priority is maintaining your pet’s normal routine to minimize any stress. I will arrive promptly, greet your pet warmly, and immediately attend to their primary needs—whether that's a fresh litter scoop and food bowl wash for cats, or a structured walk and potty break for dogs. When your pet stays with me, I have a highly flexible schedule, your pet will have constant companionship throughout the day. They are welcome to curl up next to my desk or relax on the couch. We wrap up the evening with another round of exercise and plenty of wind-down cuddles. I strictly follow your rules regarding furniture, crating, and feeding boundaries to keep their routine seamless Safety is my number one priority on every walk. Before we even step outside, I always double-check that collars and harnesses are securely fitted. I tailor the walk entirely to your dog's age and energy level—whether they need a brisk, high-energy cardio walk to burn off steam, or a nice slow calm walk' for curious or senior pups. I practice positive reinforcement to discourage pulling or leash reactivity. Once we return, I’ll wipe their paws if it's rainy, ensure their water bowl is full, and send you a map of our route along with a summary of their potty breaks
“Shannon was awesome! She was able to check in on my dog on super short notice and was super communicative while on the visit. I would highly recommend her to everyone and I would have tipped more if the app would have let me. Thank you so much Shannon!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hilliard
Jamie is an excellent pet sitter. She followed instructions well and took really good care of my dog, Birdie, stopping in three times a day for two days to feed and walk her. I love her calm attitude and can't say enough good things about Jamie! Thanks Jamie!
Kaylee was amazing. She did great with our boys. It was the first time we had left them without someone staying in the house with them and she put my nerves at ease that they would be well taken care of. Highly recommend Kaylee. We will definitely use her again when we take a trip.
Erin was fantastic with our three older dogs during her drop-in visits this week. Taking care of senior pups requires a certain level of attentiveness, and Erin delivered. She was incredibly punctual, showing up right on time for every single visit, which kept our dogs on their necessary routine. Her communication was prompt and detailed, giving us peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely work with Erin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!
Kyra was amazing! My dog and cat really liked her. I was nervous to leave my dog with someone new, but she was great with him! We received regular updates and photos, and it was obvious they were getting lots of love and attention. I would highly recommend booking with Kyra!
Tom was very flexible and communicative when I reached out for a drop in visit/walk. He arrived on time and gave my dog lots of love and attention while he was there. He also sent me lots of pictures which is always nice to receive. I will definitely have him back to help!

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 Hilliard 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.

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

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.
