“I can’t recommend Hannah enough as a pet sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves animals and takes her job seriously. She was incredibly attentive, responsible, and caring while watching over our pets. Hannah kept us updated daily with messages and photos, so we always felt at ease knowing our furry family members were in good hands. She followed all care instructions perfectly and even went above and beyond with a few extra touches, like bringing in packages. We came home to happy, relaxed pets and a spotless house. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy, kind, and thorough. We’ll absolutely be booking with Hannah again!”

“Melissa took great care of our babies and our home! Our shy cat warmed up to her super fast, which is always a good sign. We could tell she was having fun with him and our puppy from the pictures she sent. We also came back to a spotless home with a little welcome back treat which was very sweet of her!”

“Xavier has watched my pet Mojo twice now and I could not be happier with the experience. From our very first meeting, his professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals were incredibly clear. I highly recommend Xavier because of his fantastic communication. Xavier sent daily photo updates and quick text check-ins, keeping me completely stress-free while I was away. He followed all of Mojo’s dietary and relief routine with no issues. My home was left completely spotless, organized, and secure. Mojo is a naturally anxious pet due to his separation anxiety but warmed up to him almost instantly, which speaks volumes about his gentle demeanor.”

About: For me, caring for animals has never felt like simply “pet sitting.” They are family—and when someone is trusting me with a member of theirs, I take that responsibility to heart. I’ve been caring for pets since I was 13 years old, and today I help care for my family’s lively crew of four dogs and two cats. I’m comfortable with different breeds, personalities, energy levels, and ages—from the young and playful to the older companion who needs a slower pace, a little more patience, and extra tenderness. Senior pets hold an especially meaningful place in my heart. This past September, I said goodbye to Shadow, my Blue Heeler/Pit Bull mix, whom I had loved since he was just three months old. Loving him through his later years gave me a very personal understanding of both the beauty and the weight of caring for an aging pet. I understand the routines, vigilance, patience, and emotional energy that senior pet care can require. I also understand how difficult it can be for their people to step away—even for a weekend—because you worry that someone else won’t notice the little things you notice or care for them with the gentleness they deserve. That is one of the reasons I’m especially interested in supporting families with aging pets. Sometimes loving your pet well also means allowing yourself to rest, travel, celebrate a milestone, or simply take a break knowing they are in caring hands. Whether your pet is energetic and ready to play, independent and particular, or a senior who prefers a quiet companion and an unhurried pace, I meet them where they are. All breeds. All ages. Lots of love. My goal is simple: while you’re away, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and loved—and I want you to feel at ease knowing someone is genuinely looking after them. I work from home, with either a daytime schedule of 10 a.m.–6 p.m. or an evening schedule of 4–11 p.m. This allows me to build pet care into my daily routine and make time for meals, bathroom breaks, play, and companionship. Being home is only part of it; paying attention matters just as much. Pets can’t tell us what they need in words, so I take time to notice their habits, body language, and little requests for attention. Whether that means a nudge for a bathroom break, an invitation to play, or wanting someone nearby, I care about learning how your pet communicates. I do have focused work periods, so we’ll discuss your pet’s routine and care needs before booking to make sure my availability is a good fit. This is especially important for older pets who may need more frequent check-ins or a particular schedule. I want to understand what a comfortable day looks like for your pet and how I can help keep it that way while you’re away. I start by learning the little things that matter to your pet: their familiar routines, favorite activities, where they like to rest, and how they let you know they need something. I follow your instructions for meals, walks, bathroom breaks, litter care, and rest, with time for play and affection on their terms. In your home, I keep your pet’s routine as familiar as possible and treat your space with care and respect. I let your pet get comfortable with me at their own pace, whether they’re ready to play right away or prefer a quieter introduction. Senior pets are especially close to my heart. Caring for my dog Shadow through his later years taught me the importance of patience, gentleness, and noticing small changes. I’m happy to move at an older pet’s pace, and we’ll discuss any health, mobility, or supervision needs beforehand so I can be clear about the care I can reliably provide. Before you leave, we’ll confirm care instructions, veterinary and emergency contacts, and your preferences for photos and updates. I want you to feel comfortable sharing the details—even the ones that seem small. They’re part of knowing your pet, and they matter to me, too.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years, including dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m attentive to routines, patient with anxious pets, and experienced with senior animals and basic training reinforcement. I have a flexible weekend schedule that allows me to provide reliable care for both dogs and cats. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and check-ins on weekends and some weekday evenings. I make sure feeding times, potty breaks, litter care, playtime, and medications are followed exactly as instructed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, maintain a clean and secure environment, and respect each pet’s routine. Whether caring for dogs or cats, I focus on minimizing stress, providing attentive supervision, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

“Draven was an amazing dogsitter. I had newly adopted a dog right before I was supposed to fly home for Thanksgiving and unfortunately I could not fly with my new pup. I was worried about needing to cancel the plans but Draven was able to watch him last minute which I was so grateful for. She and her husband stayed with him at my apartment. They sent pictures, took amazing care of him, and even groomed him for me while I was gone. Everything was clean and he was extremely happy when I got back. I would definitely recommend using Draven for any petsitting/housesitting needs. Also ask about the baking services because they are amazing as well! :)”

About: Hi, my name is Diana, I’m a mom to 3 wonderful humans and two sweet dogs. I have always had a dog at home and couldn’t imagine life without them. Dogs are more than pets, they’re family. As a military family who has moved so much, I know how important it is to find someone loving, caring and reliable to take care of your pets. My goal is to provide a loving home for your fur babies while you’re away. I’m also happy to help administer medicine as I’m experienced in this field. My older dog Lilly has been taking medication for over 5 years. My experience includes taking care of my dogs for over 20 years and helping friends at different bases care for their pets while traveling. I’m a proud AF veteran; homeschooling mom who would love to care for your pups while you’re at work or away. My schedule is very flexible and I’d love to help in any way I can. As a young military member, I worked full time and couldn’t have survived without having someone check on my dogs and take them for walks at lunchtime. If this is your current situation, let me help you with your fur babies. Or if you’re traveling, I’d love to take care of your pups by providing a loving home to them. My kids and I are usually home since we homeschool, we will play with your doggies and will love on them as much as we can. I have a fenced yard and two super friendly dogs. They’re both mixed pups rescued in two different states. My dog Lilly has been with us for 11 years and our youngest pup, Panda has been with us for almost 2 years. They are both vaccinated and have all their ticks and fleas meds up to date. I have crates to put away my pups if needed.

“Tia was an awesome, Dog Sitter for our 70 pound, somewhat anxious, rescue dog, Lucy. She instantly knew how to make Lucy comfortable and feel secure, which is no small feat. She was also completely reliable., showing up on time, responding quickly to questions, taking as much time as we needed during our meet and greet. I cannot recommend Tia highly enough.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Hill Top

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Hill Top is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 7,852 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hill Top. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Hill Top walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Hill Top maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

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 Hill Top 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!

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.

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.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hill Top. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
