“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”
“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 wonderful with our kitty while we were away, Thomas really enjoyed her company which isn't always a given, and I appreciated the extra care when a painting fell and by taking care of our fish tanks too! Top notch sitter and will absolutely book again in the future.”
“Kaity is the best, I trust her completely and she does an absolutely wonderful job! She goes above and beyond, provides great updates and plenty of photos. She is ultra communicative and attentive!”
“From listing response to final visit, Margaret has been the perfect balance of profeasional + friendly. She allowed me to fewl calm, relaxed and ingormed. Steady communication with pictures was amazing, and her quick responses were outstanding. I could not have hoped for a better person, nor a better experience.”
“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!”
“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.
“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: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life—I’ve never been without one since the day I was born. From training my own puppy to providing gentle care for senior dogs, I understand the needs of dogs at every stage. My own dog is now older, blind, and has special medical needs, so I know how important patience and attentive care are. Whether your dog enjoys a leisurely stroll, a brisk walk, or an even a run/walk for extra exercise, I’ll make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for every step of the way. I’m happy to walk dogs in any weather as long as it’s safe for them (and me)! I work part-time from home and would love to start my mornings or end my work day with your dog! Whether they need a relaxed walk, a little extra exercise, or some gentle care, I’ll make sure they’re happy and well cared for. I have a fenced yard and two young kids that would love to throw or kick a ball for your fur baby. I also have a friendly, old hound dog that would love to meet your dog!
“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! 🥰”
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.
About: I understand that people need services for their pets as most people are heading back to work after being remote for over a year. Most people are heading back to the office four times a week in 2026. I work from home three to four days a week so I am able to provide the extra care at an affordable rate in the comforts of your own home. I regularly house sit for different animals. I have watched horses, lambs, dogs, & cats. I grew up with always having pets and never without. I’m available at different times throughout the week and mornings on the weekend since I work full time. Since I work from home, I would love to help other pet owners. Feel free to message for additional details. I took a break from Rover due to the loss of my golden retriever. But I am happy to be back and assist anyone. I can stop over to crate, let out for a potty break, house sit, and take your pet for walks. I do will offer boarding in my home for the right person. I’m pretty flexible in my time so please reach out for questions that you may have. This will allow us to get to know each other. I make sure your animal is my number one priority in my home or yours! If I have to stay a little longer; that’s totally okay. I hope you don’t mind if I bring my work laptop if my stay is over an hour.
“Kelsey is a great person to help with your pets. She is punctual, communicates effectively, and will show endless love for your animals! My Greyhound wags his tail 100 mph when he sees her! Better snag her before someone else does!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 654 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ottawa Lake. 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 Lake. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
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.
