“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!”
“Amber is just as perfect as my cat Purrfect!! She sends me daily updates on what my cat does while she’s there and, of course, and picture or two! She’s been wonderful with Purrfect who has really taken to her. I am very happy this has worked out.”
“Danielle has been so wonderful with our older lab and he absolutely loves her! Danielle is professional, reliable, and so caring. We are so appreciative of her help and the peace of mind she gives us when we have to leave our fur baby. We cannot thank Danielle enough and highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, loving, and truly wonderful!”
“Jeffery is fantastic! He takes excellent care of my two dogs and always gives me peace of mind when they're in his care. He’s reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Super reliable! Whitney walks my dog twice a week while I'm at work and always sends a message w/ photos when she's walking him. So nice not to have to worry at all!”
About: Every pet has their own quirks, and I make sure they feel comfortable and loved while I’m with them! With an active lifestyle, a love for long walks, and a soft spot for cuddles, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved and cared for like my own. I work full time but am available on weekends to help care for your pets when needed! Happy to take on walks or check in however needed! I would offer services to care for your pets at your house and don’t have the ability to sit pets at my home. Thank you so much
“Kyra was really amazing! I was gone for 2 weeks and she was so consistent with check-ins. She took great care of my kitties. She is a lovely person and did a meet and greet prior to me leaving which was awesome. Highly recommended and I'm sure I will book with her again!!”
About: Columbus, Oh clients‼️ I am moving back to the area and will be available for dog sitting after June 1st, 2026!‼️✨ I grew up with dogs and have owned many different breeds, as well as cats, iguanas, snakes, etc. I am 29, a cat mom, and I work from home. I absolutely love animals and have a special place in my heart for cats!! My fiance is also a veterinarian at medvet. I have lots of experience dog-sitting for family friends, and over ten years of experience on rover. There is no way I would rather spend my extra time than to love on your dogs and cats and take care of them! I will sleep in your home with your doggies and update you with pictures the whole time! I do work from home, so I will not have to leave your dog alone for any long shifts. (I do have some live meetings, so if your doggie is the barking type I may need to leave to work sometimes at my house). *Your requested dates are not reserved until you have paid through Rover and we have both confirmed the stay. If there is a delay in payment, your spot may be passed along to the next person in line. Thank you! *One meet and greet prior to the stay is included in the stay price. The purpose of this meeting is to make sure your pets and I are a good fit for each other prior to booking, and to be given their routine and schedule. If you would like to request more than one meeting prior to the stay - an additional fee may apply to account for the time. *Additional services are available for a small fee. These include cleaning up dog poo in the yard, bathing your pup, or watering plants. I work from home M-Th 8:00-3:00 and will work from your house. I have a lot of free time to spend with your pups outside of work and can cuddle with them during work hours :) I love to spend lots of time cuddling with dogs in their own environment, going on walks, and spoiling them with treats. My biggest goal is to keep pets comfortable and stress free while you are away.
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!
“Ellen did an excellent job dropping by to take care of my two kitties. She was very responsive and did everything I asked for them. Would definitely have her cat sit again!”
About: I've been a dog owner and animal lover my entire life, giving me firsthand experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a current pug and cat parent, I understand the importance of providing pets with a safe, loving, and reliable environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and am committed to ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care fits well into my current schedule. I work a fulltime professional position during the weekdays, which allows me to provide pet care services during evenings, weekends, and select weekdays depending on the pet's needs. I'm organized, reliable, and committed to ensuring pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. We live in a community with walking paths and a couple of ponds that we enjoy walking to with our pups. I will be happy to walk yours through the neighborhood as well. As a lifelong dog owner and current pug and cat parent, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as a member of my own family.
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.
“Bonnie was wonderful! She was incredibly consistent with her visits, and played and loved our puppies like they were her own! she sent us great pics to let us see our girls, as we missed them so much🌴. she also went above and beyond to bring in the mail each day. Bonnie will be our “go to” sitter from now on!”
“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.”
About: I have had dogs in my family since I was little and adopted a little tuxedo cat two years ago. I have worked for various humane societies and watched family and friends pets for the past 8 years. Happy to watch dogs or cats! I will be available full-time from June through early August, so pet care will be a central part of my daily routine. With a very flexible schedule, I’m able to prioritize each pet’s unique needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just providing companionship. I'm committed to giving pets consistent attention and care throughout the day and adapting to any specific routines they may already have. I focus on maintaining the pet’s regular routine in a safe and friendly environment, which helps reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication, or just spending quality time together. I also make sure to keep the home tidy and follow any specific instructions the owner provides.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hilliard
Kim & Whitney are the first dog sitters we've ever hired and we could not be happier with their weekend visit with our pack of 3 high-energy chaos gremlins! The dogs got lots of care, attention and playtime while we were out of town, with minimal disruptions to their routines. With a senior, adult, and puppy, our dogs each have their own personality quirks and preferences, and Kim and Whitney did a phenomenal job of making sure each dog got their individual needs met. We got photos and text updates after every visit, and they even took care of some house-routine tasks while they were there.
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.
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!

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 Hilliard 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 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. 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.

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.

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.
