“Yasmin was great with our dog, Oreo. She was able to arrive earlier in the day when Oreo is used to getting her morning walk. Oreo loved seeing Yasmin first thing in the morning.”
“Tia was great with my puppy. She let her out to potty and played with her. I felt very at ease knowing my puppy was well cared for with Tia. I love the pictures she sent of my puppy. I will definitely be using Tia again. Highly recommended her.”
“Madison was absolutely wonderful! She took the time to come meet my cats a few days before the visit, which gave me the opportunity to walk her through their routine in person. I really appreciated her willingness to do this, as it made me feel much more comfortable leaving them in her care. She was kind, attentive, and easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!”
“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: 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.
“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!”
“Bonnie cared for my cat and my friend’s two dogs. She visited them individually and even had them visit in my home during the week we were away. The many photos she shared were wonderful! I highly recommend her care for your treasured fur babies!!”
“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!!”
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
“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.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have owned many different breeds, as well as cats, iguanas, snakes, etc. I am 30, 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’ve taken care of pets for family friends and colleagues since high school. I love to go on long walks, runs and play around in parks or backyards. I’m currently work in before and after school care so I am free 9:30am-3 pm on weekdays but I am happy to do check up’s early in the morning and late in the evenings. On Saturday’s I’m free all day except for 8-2 and Sundays I am free all day. In clients homes I will care for your pets in anyway they need whether that is cuddling inside all day or playing in the backyard. On walks I will ensure the safety of your pet by double checking the leash/harness and catering the walk to their liking.
“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!”
“Katie did an amazing job! She took my request last minute and followed all of my instructions with no problem! And she was great at communicating! I never had to worry about my cat while I was gone I knew she was in great hands! Would highly recommend and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Beth gave us good visits with the my two cats. She was even was able to get pictures on the shyest one. I was very comfortable with her checking in and making sure they were taken care of.”

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!

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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hilliard is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $8 and $27 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 October 2026, there are 2,661 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hilliard. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , 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 Hilliard. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
