“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: 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!
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.
“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!”
About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician at a shelter I used to volunteer for, and have had my own dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve recently gone part-time and would enjoy walking your pets or stopping in for those needed potty breaks. I used to walk dogs for the shelter I now work at. I also foster animals for them, most dogs and puppies. I work at the shelter Thursdays and Fridays. I am available other days of the week on a part-time basis. I don’t have preferred days in mind at this time. I will certainly follow all instructions provided and will treat your pet as my own while in my care. I will respect and properly care for your home environment.
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages and personalities, including puppies, senior pets, shy cats, and high-energy dogs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications if needed, and giving pets lots of attention and patience. My schedule is pretty flexible, and pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and just spending time with animals throughout the day. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I always make sure pets are safe, secure, and comfortable. I treat your home with the same respect as my own and your pets with the same love I give mine.
“Abbi did a really great job with our cats. We had never used a pet sitter before and were really nervous about it, but she kept us informed and was available for off time contacts. We will definitely use her again.”
“This was our first time using Rover. Even though Evie had a family emergency, she still went over and took care of our cat. We appreciate her dedication! We will use her again when we travel.”
“All I can say is AMAZING job taking care of my fur babies! I would recommend Nicholas to care for your fur babies, as he will treat them as his own, giving them all of the care and love as you would! He sent the cutest pictures, I could see just how happy my dog kiddos were! Awesome job Nicholas, Tilley, Louella, Dave, and Bill all day Thank You and are happy to have made a new friend!”
“Emily was wonderful! She took great care of my kitty over my 11-day vacation and sent pictures, videos, and updates everyday and was very easy to reach through the messenger. She even brought presents for my kitty! I would definitely book Emily again next time I need a cat sitter.”
“Vivien is so sweet with my pets and takes great care of them and my house whenever she watches them. She is also super reliable and responsive. Thanks for being such a big help Vivien!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember, and I’ve loved every second of it. Dogs bring so much happiness into our lives, and I truly believe they deserve the best care and attention possible. I know it can be tough for pups when their family is away, so my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re gone. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or playtime, I’ll make sure your dog feels cared for every step of the way. I’m a junior in college and currently help train and socialize service dogs in training, so I’m very comfortable reading dog behavior and making sure each pup gets what they need. I’m also great with watching more than one dog at a time and love giving them all the attention they deserve! I’m currently a student at Miami University, and pet care is one of my favorite ways to spend my breaks when I’m home from school! Since I’m not too busy during those times—especially over winter break—I have plenty of time to give your pup all the love and attention they deserve. I may take a short trip to visit family here and there, but I’ll always make sure your dog is fully cared for and happy while you’re away. Spending time with dogs truly brightens my days, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I always make sure to follow your expectations and routines because every dog is unique, and what matters most to me is caring for your pup the way you would. I’ll stick to their usual feeding schedule, give plenty of potty breaks, and keep their day as normal and comfortable as possible. I’m also experienced with giving medication and handling basic medical care if needed. Most importantly, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and at ease while they’re with me at your home (I will not be doing care in my home).
“Raegan went above and beyond while caring for my two cats! Great communication, lots of updates and pictures daily! I never had to worry while on my vacation because she kept me in the loop the entire time. You did such a great job Raegan, thank you so much! I will definitely be getting ahold of you again in the future! 🥰”

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 Ottawa Hills 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 Ottawa Hills 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. 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 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 Ottawa Hills 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.
