“Happy with Patrick. Not impressed with Rover though. Quite a few things and would serve no purpose to complain on deff ears. Its a shame as im sure sitters loose repeat business and 1st timers learn valuable lesson.”
“Kaity is always reliable, communicates well, and is great at caring for my cats. She is able to give my cat her medication. She gives cuddles and plays, and our cats really enjoy her.”
“I can't say enough great things about the care Jessica gives our cats. Out cat Quiigley used to meow and cry for hours after our return, but that has all stopped since Jessica came into his life. Jessica has a big heart for animals. Thank you so much Jessica!”
About: I’ve had dogs around my whole life. I’ve had a couple puppies and have done basic training with them. From young to seniors I’ve had to give medications or special diets. Caring for animals is already part of my everyday life. I have four cats of my own, so feeding, playtime, and snuggles are part of my routine. Adding dog walks, drop-ins, or extra cuddle sessions fits in easily. I have a flexible schedule, which means I can dedicate time to making sure your pets get the love, exercise, and attention they need throughout the day. I don’t host animals in my own home, but I’m more than happy to care for your pets in their home where they feel most comfortable. I’ll follow your routines closely whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or bedtime snuggles to make sure everything feels normal and stress free for them.
“Natalie was great! Kept great communication before and during her visits. Really grateful she was able to check on the cats and the house for us!! Would definitely recommend. Thanks again!”
“Autumn was truly the best!! I can’t thank her enough. It’s never easy leaving your fur babies at home while your away but Autumn put my mind at ease. She was very reliable, quick to respond, and treated my pets like they were her own. We would be happy to have her again💛🐾🐶🐱”
“Rachel is fantastic! She is loving to our elderly dog Zoey. She puts us at ease while we are gone by taking many pictures at each visit and giving detailed descriptions of her visits.”
“Allan did a great job taking care of my cats! I got pics every day, he played with them, and generally put my mind at ease while I was on vacation! I would recommend him!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our cat sitter Paige! From the moment we met him, it was clear how much he genuinely loves animals. He took excellent care of both of our cats, including one who requires insulin injections twice a day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. He was communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly kind, keeping us updated and making sure our cats were happy and well cared for. We came home to two relaxed, well-loved kitties. We were so happy with the experience that we’ve already booked him again. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
“Hannah was great! This was my first time using rover and she helped walk me through it. Leaving your home and your dog with a stranger is definitely an intimidating thing, but with all of Hannah’s communication I felt confident that it would could go well. I would recommend her to anyone! She was so nice and my dog Aussie seemed to have an amazing time.”
“Claire helped us when we were in a bind! We actually booked with WAG biggest mistake ever! They canceled due to lack of walkers and we were out of town and left our baby there at the house without us being able to come back...I was so upset but I downloaded Rover and I couldn’t more happy! I met Claire and she was immediate with her response and she was able to get out to our house ASAP and oh our doggy was so happy to see her! She fed and watered out growing boy and walked him and even clipped his nails when we have been trying she was calm and Rocky knew who was in control and decided he would win her over with smooches we couldn’t be more happy and she even is going to go tomorrow to care for our baby!! Best wallet and sitter ever!”

I have experience in care giving, bio hazard, and cleaning. I take pride in giving the care that I want my pets, and friends and family to have.
“Highly recommend Kayla! I have a 19 week puppy full of energy and Kayla surely gets all his energy out like requested. She doesn’t just let him out to go potty and sits around. She actually plays with him and makes sure he’s running around and spending all his puppy energy. I’m very happy with her services!!!! Used her twice already and will be rebooking for sure.”
“Ava was great in stopping in to check on our dogs while we were away for extended hours. I appreciate her providing some pictures and comments on Cooper and Bailey. I would highly recommend”
About: While I specialize in cat sitting and absolutely adore caring for feline companions, I'm also happy to help with dog sitting for friendly, well-trained pups. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions and making sure your furry friend feels comfortable and cared for while you're away. I am also well versed in the care of our smaller companions such as birds, reptiles, rodents, ferrets and rabbits to name a few. I'm happy to work around your pet's unique needs whether it's regular visits or last-minute plans, although it would also need to work with my work schedule. Your pet's comfort and routine always come first so I'm sure we can work something out. I do require an in-person meet and greet before confirming any new booking. This helps ensure your pet feels comfortable and we're a great fit! As a proud cat mom, I care for my cats with a lot of love, patience, and attention to detail. Each of them has their own personality and needs, so I make sure their routines are consistent, their environment feels safe, and they get both playtime and quiet comfort. From feeding and litter box cleaning to brushing and cozy cuddle time, I treat them like family because to me, they are.
About: I have had both dogs and cats in my life and I currently have 2 cats, Olive and Theo. I would love to meet your pets! I work part time and go to school part time and love caring for animals. I have time during most days to check in on your pet(s). I have a private bedroom in which I can keep your pet if they need to be separate from other animals, and plenty of toys and treats!
“Diana did amazing with Paisley while I was gone on my trip for a week. This was my first time using rover and she exceeded my expectations! She sent daily updates and pictures and you can tell she really loves & cares for animals. She made it a point to meet my cat before and get to know her. I will definitely be booking again!”

Natalie was great about letting me know the daily status of our 3 cats. She was able to send me pictures of 2 of the cats but not my skittish girl. I know she tried but she can be very elusive. All the cats are rescues and each have their own personalities but she was still able to assure us while we were gone

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ottawa Hills on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 403 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ottawa Hills. 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ottawa Hills. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
