“Chelsea was amazing! She took such great care of our cats and gave great updates. One of our cats usually gets really stressed when we’re away, but he was so happy and relaxed this time with her checking in. I’m so grateful and will definitely book with her again!”
“This was our first time using Rover.com. I would highly recommend Sydney. She was prompt, professional and communication was great (she also sent us pictures). We felt very comfortable leaving our babies in her care. A++”
“I've never used Rover before and I was nervous about having a stranger watch my dog, Violet. Kaity came over for a meet & greet before our first booking and put my anxiety at ease! She was so good with Violet and I could tell Violet felt comfortable with Kaity. Kaity sent plenty of pictures from their visit and Violet looked so happy with her new buddy!”
“Michelle was great with our pups. She was kind enough to bring in a package outside our door, check their water, and feed them dinner while coming over to let them out. We will definitely be reaching out to her next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Teagan was awesome! She was available pretty last minute. She still came and met the pups before our trip. She worked around her schedule and ours. She kept the house cleaned up which is huge for me! And she helped water flowers while we were gone along with taking great care of our 4 pups!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Vivien is excellent. I have a high energy and very high drive dog and she does so well with him each visit. There is no one I would trust more with my dog than Vivien!! She has even been able to help me on very short notice, which I appreciate so much. I would highly recommend her for anyone and everyone!”
“She has been wonderful!! Always on time and our dog adores her! Even offered to stay later to make sure he got the chance to potty again before leaving. No complaints! Thank you for the help Amber 😁”
“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!”
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.
“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.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Ottawa Hills is $20

Fantastic experience! I needed someone fairly last minute and was very pleased with the services provided. He took good care of my pups and spent time petting and loving on them during visits. My dogs are happy, and I've already rebooked future drop-ins. I highly recommend this sitter!
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 Pet Sitting in Ottawa Hills on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 808 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ottawa Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
