About: I have my own animas of all species that I take care of. I’ve had animals my whole life and have taken care of them very well! I will treat your babies like they are my own! I am currently working part time which usually is closing at 10pm.. But I will have time to take care of your animals as needed and provide them plenty of attention and care! I give my fur babies plenty of attention on the daily. Their needs come first! They will always have a full bowl for food and water and be groomed as needed!
“Bridget went above and beyond to make sure the pups were taken care of. When there was an issue she reached out immediately and went out of her way to help. Would definitely use her again!”
“Abigail took great care of my cats and provided great communication. She was also able to accommodate a couple of last minute requests, which I was very grateful for. I will be booking her again.”
“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!”
“Kaity is absolutely amazing. She adapts to my cats’ medical needs, plays with them for exercise, pets them, communicates well, sends great updates, sends adorable update photos, and has always been professional. I trust her and highly recommend her. My cats also love her.”
“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!”
“Jess took great care of our kitty boys while we were gone on a trip! Followed all of their routines and spend time with them that I could tell they enjoyed from the pics. Would recommend ! (:”
About: I have had both dogs and cats in my life and I currently have 3 cats; Olive, Theo and Addy. I look forward to getting to know your little buddies and forming a relationship that offers the fun and familiarity that matters so much when your people are away. I recently finished my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and am doing some petsitting while I look for a permanent position. I will likely keep doing it in some capacity once I find one, just because I really enjoy meeting new furry friends :) I cannot offer boarding currently, however, I am happy to visit your pets in your home or take them out for a walk. I love to give pets the attention they deserve and form a new friendship with each creature I have the privilege of caring for.
“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!”
“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.”
“We’re sorry free anytime we book Teagan to come take care of Teemu, sent her profile to our friends we were with who were jealous we had someone to take care of our dog. Teagan goes out of her way to make sure our dog is taken care of. Trustworthy, reliable, communicative, and definitely cares about our animals when we’re away.”
About: Hi! My name is Amber. I have one dog, Maeve, who *loves* to play and make new friends. We are members of Glass City Dog Park so she is well-socialized with other dogs. She also had a feline brother for about 7 months before we lost our 14 year old cat, Marty, and they were best buds. I am experienced in caring for pets with special needs, diets, ailments, and am no stranger to administering pills and shots to both cats and dogs. I have a big back yard with privacy fencing and a very quiet and safe neighborhood to walk in. I also ha e the ability to keep pets separated, if necessary, with a retractable gate between my living area and kitchen, while pets are aclimating. I am also happy to come you! I have reliable transportation and a very flexible schedule, especially during the day. I can't wait to meet, play with, and care for your pets! I am a musician so my obligations are usually in the evenings and on weekends, but that doesn't mean I won't be able to check on pets before or after gigs and practices. My day time availability is extremely flexible! I have a big back yard with privacy fencing and a very quiet and safe neighborhood to walk in. I also have the ability to keep pets separated, if necessary, with a retractable gate between my living area and large kitchen, while pets are aclimating.
“Patrick could not have made my time away any easier or less stressful! My dog loves him, he sent me pics each time he was at my home & was responsive to my texts when I wondered how things went. I would not hesitate to ask him to do a pop-in again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ottawa Hills
Taylor was the best person to leave my babies with while I was away. I had Taylor booked for a majority of 2 weeks, the longest I havr been away from my babies. Taylor came and did a meet and greet and I was worried as Zuna can be hesitant meeting new people. Taylor reassured me everything would be great. Every update was amazing, detailed filled of their activities and amazing pictures. Taylor reached out when she had any questions and had wonderful communication. Taylor will make sure your pets have lots of cuddles and play. The cats felt very comfortable with her after just one day.
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 August 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 August 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
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.
