“Cora was an excellent sitter that got Ozzy and Dee out for many walks. They loved her and she was attentive and an extremely good communicator which put our minds at ease. Definitely will look to book again and highly recommend to all pet owners!”
“Maura, thank you for taking care of Murphy overnight. We knew he was in great hands with your care. We appreciate the photo updated so much! We will be in touch again!”
“Really appreciate Jared's attention to detail. Our pets have a somewhat complicated feeding schedule! Communication level was great and gave us peace of mind while we were away.”
“Anthony watched our senior pup and cat and they were happy and healthy when we got home! Anthony was a good communicator leading up to and during the stay and treated our home with respect. Thank you!!”
About: I love pets! I have experience house/dog sitting for clients that have taken vacations of up to 15 days. While house sitting, I can also bring in mail and water plants. In the past, I have been able to watch up to 2 dogs at a time. I love the exercise that comes from walking dogs, and I welcome dogs that have both high and low energy levels. When given specific instructions about caring for someone's dog, I always follow them, never letting my previous experience and "what I usually do" come before meeting the expectations of my clients. I have lived with at least one dog as a pet for 18 years of my life. Let me take care of your dog and be an extension of your love towards them when you cannot be there. I have graduate school classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, but I am free for pet care outside of those hours. I am flexible to work around your schedule. I’ve house sat and taken care of cats and dogs while I’ve lived in the house. I’ve also stopped by houses periodically to walk dogs and feed them. I’m open to both methods.
“Andrea was our first experience with a Rover pet sitter & she was wonderful! Our cat needs medication 2x a day and she had no issue making sure he got his meds. We came home to our home cleaner than we left it & our pets at ease and obviously well cared for! Would absolutely hire Andrea again :)”
“Giovanna was a wonderful dog sitter and stayed in our home overnight. She was super responsive and communicative, sent us regular updates with adorable photos, and took outstanding care of Diego. Would definitively work with Giovanna again!”
“Julianne became our fur babies' best friend from the moment she arrived. She took great care to maintain both Harley's and Blue's daily routines. Her regular updates throughout our trip brought us comfort while we were away. We really appreciated how attentive she was with both our dog and cat, and we would highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs.”
“This was my dogs first experience with Zach. My dog cried when he realized Zach had left! Zach was on time, very attentive to all he was asked to do for a needy greyhound and a lively macaw. I received regular updates and pictures. Zach was great and I will have him again! Thank you Zach!”
“Shaina was a wonderful caregiver for our boys! She kept in touch with us the entire time we were away, we love seeing pictures of them playing & napping. The boys like having someone in the house while we are gone and did a great job keeping them company too.”
“Savina did a great job with our dog Rosie! Rosie has pretty intense separation anxiety and Savina was super understanding and gave us great, detailed updates and pictures throughout our trip.”
“Landy was wonderful with our dog Benji, who we are always cautious with because of his reactivity. She was super responsive, left our house cleaner than any sitter we've ever had, and made us feel instantly comfortable with her staying in our home. We'd love to have Landy sit for us again!”
“Chinyere was great - she took excellent care of my cat and was very respectful in my home! She sent updates and followed all my instructions! Would absolutely rebook”
“Aaron was a pleasure to have in our home to watch our two kitties. He followed all our instructions and took amazing care of our girls. He sent plenty of updates as instructed and when we returned, our home was left the same as how we left it and he kept it clean. He made sure our girls were happy and safe. We will definitely be booking him in the future. We have no complaints. He treated our home and cats with respect. If you’re looking for a trustworthy pet sitter please consider Aaron. My fiancé and I are so grateful we found him . Thank you so much again Aaron. He made our trip care free knowing our kitties were in great hands. We love you Aaron!!”
“I had a wonderful experience! Minelis was incredibly attentive to detail, flexible, and genuinely caring when it came to Ace’s needs. I really appreciated the daily updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. The communication was excellent, and it was clear that Ace was well cared for throughout. I would absolutely recommend and book again!”
“Miranda did a wonderful job taking care of my dog! He is an elderly dog with health issues who needs to receive multiple medicines multiple times a day, and she handled it so well and made my dog feel safe, loved, and cared for while I was away. I am very grateful for that and highly recommend her!”
“Kymberlee was great! It was our first time leaving Bella for this long and we were nervous. She provided regular updates, sent pictures, and kept Bella company the whole time we were gone. And the place was cleaner when we got back then when we left it! Will absolutely be calling Kymberlee in the future!!”

Savina took excellent care of our pup over a multi-day trip. They followed our instructions to a "t", took Ursa on long walks and sent regular updates and photos. They also left the house in perfect condition - even laundered the sheets without being asked to. We would absolutely book Savina again and recommend them for your dog-sitting needs.
Coralie watched our cat while we were away and was wonderful. She was very flexible with our late booking and gave Yogi fun and entertainment. We got home to a very happy and relaxed cat. She also communicated the entire time very well and the house was wonderfully clean. We’ll definitely book with Coralie again
Veronica was a fantastic sitter for my 2 year old Redbone Coonhound River! She kept me updated from the second she stepped through the door until she left. She sent multiple pictures and updates everyday and answered and questions I had promptly and without delay. She is a life saver! I couldn't have asked for a better person to house sit for River. She's beyond great!!
Nichole is absolutely amazing! My dog Lilo, is very skittish and is very slow to warm up and trust people but she warmed up so quickly to Nichole and even allowed her to take her out on a walk which is a win bc it can be difficult to get Lilo to go with someone she doesn’t know. You could tell that she definitely knows dogs really well and how to interact with them which is super important to us because Lilo is a rescue dog. Nichole was also super communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout the stay and is very warm and nice! We’ve already booked her again to watch our pup during our next trip. Thanks so much again Nichole.
Steven did an awesome job with our very elderly pup while we were out of the country for over a week. He followed his food, walk, and medication routines, and gave daily updates with pictures. We came home to a pup who had been well-cared for. Thanks so much Steven!
Charlotte took great care of my dog Juniper! She sent lots of pictures and Juniper was relaxed and happy when I got home. Juniper is a reactive dog who is afraid of new people, Charlotte did a great job overcoming that challenge and walking Juniper in a neighborhood full of other dogs!
My dog loved Alexis, he just stared at the front door when she left. Guess he didn’t miss us as such as I missed him. He had lots of walk and MANY treats. From all the pics he looked very chill. Can’t say enough good things about Alexis and the care she gave my dog.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hillandale is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 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.

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 Hillandale 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 Hillandale 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 Hillandale 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
