“Tina is new to us but we've already felt like she knows our boys pretty well! She has sat for us a couple times now. One of our pups have dementia and is difficult to care for at times, Tina goes above and beyond to try to understand him and his needs. She is always very responsive and sends many updates and communicates well. It's always scary finding a new sitter for our babies but Tina makes that anxiety go away. Would recommend her if you're looking for a compassionate and caring sitter!”
“Latisha was so great with my little pup!! He’s been shy and having trouble adjusting (we recently moved) but she was so patient and kind and helped bring out his confidence! I couldn’t recommend her enough 😊”
“Danielle was amazing with our cat Leo! I was a nervous cat parent leaving him alone for the first time and she was so easy to communicate with and made me feel very comfortable that he was in good hands. She went above and beyond and sent lots of photos which was so appreciated.”
About: I have experience walking, feeding, and caring for dogs, cats, and even quails! I want to help your pet get the exercise, food, water, and relief they need! Just let me know :) I am available until the sun goes down most days. If anything changes, I'll be sure to let you know ahead of time. Thanks! I have a fenced-in backyard with plenty of space to roll around, explore, sunbathe, or sit in the shade under a palm tree with a fan.
“Leilani did some drop-ins for our dog Moxie as we were away for the evening for a special event. I loved the reports we got from her with updates and our dog loved her at the meet and great! Will definitely be rebooking.”
“As aways, Madelyn was great. She was super accommodating when my plans changed like 3 times unexpectedly. I appreciate her being able to work with me. Also, my cat really likes her!”
“This is our second time using Olivia and she was wonderful! She’s so communicative and makes us feel totally at ease while we’re away. We will absolutely use her again; we completely trust her and highly recommend!”
About: I have been pet sitting ever since I have been a little kid and have never had a dissatisfied pet owner. I love all kinds of animals and can’t wait to take care of yours like my own while you’re away. I work a full time job with a flexible schedule. I will be to adjust my schedule to fit yours and your pets needs. I am available for drop in visits or able to stay at your house. I am usually more available on weekends but can also be available during the week. I prefer jobs in hillcrest or nearby area. I grew up with large and medium size dogs and have been pet sitting for about 14 years. I am very responsible and will take care of your pet like it’s my own. Your pet and home will be in very good hands.
“Kristin was the best. I have a new dog, and I was worried about leaving my dog alone for the first time. Kristin kept me updated and communicated frequently. She put me at ease. Appreciated her!”
“Tessa was absolutely amazing with our cat! She was so attentive and communicative. We loved getting pictures while we were away and appreciated the well-informed updates and cute anecdotes she sent us. It made it a little easier to be away from our beloved cat knowing he was in such good hands. She handled his medication well and gave him lots of love, brushing, playtime, and attention. We are so grateful for the time she gave our cat and will absolutely be rebooking her for our future trips!”
“Mariela took such good care of my two cats! She sent me update pictures and a great description of how the visit went each time. My VERY shy cat enjoyed her so much, Mariela even got some pets in! I had full peace of mind while away- and that’s priceless!”
“Phillip took wonderful care of my cat. He was communicative and provided nice updates about how my cat was doing throughout the week. My cat seemed content when I returned. The liter box was well maintained, and the apartment smelled clean.”
“My dogs love Caitlin. She’s amazing in how well she cares for my dogs while I’m gone. I can be certain that they are in great hands. She thinks of the smallest details to make sure they are comfortable and safe. Thank you!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Hillcrest
We had a wonderful experience! They took great care of our cat, kept us updated with photos and messages, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our cat was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!
Rachel is an actual Angel. During a long term stay she noticed something wrong with one of our cats and she took him to the vet on a Saturday. She called promptly and then texted with me all through the night about his condition before taking him early the next day to the vet. She waited with him, FaceTimed me and the vet twice and then went back to get him and returned him home. She wasn’t even scheduled to watch them that day and cleared her day to help us. She made an incredibly stressful situation for us as tolerable and easy as it could be. Her communication was incredible and I don’t know what we would have done without her. We are genuinely indebted to her and so thankful we chose her to watch them.
Armando is awesome! From the time we made contact, communication was great. My cat, Buddy, really enjoyed his time, and we are very grateful for Armando's commitment to Buddy's health and to the safety of our home. The first couple of days Buddy wasn't feeling well -- Armando and I reviewed the symptoms, made adjustments to food and medication, and within 24 hours we had turned a good corner! I got photos, activity reports, and we had a few phone calls at my request to make sure Armando had what he needed to keep my spoiled kitty happy :-). Thank You Armando!
Tina was such a fantastic caretaker for our cat over a 10-day trip in the summer. Tina kept her cool with ice cubes in her water, engaged with a scavenger hunt of treats through our apartment, and calm with plenty of cuddling time and pets (which as a very social girl, she always craves). We were also thrilled by how thoroughly Tina updated us on the visits with our cat--it was a real treat to read a little daily blog post about their time together. We'd love to work with Tina again, and I'm sure our cat would say the same :)
Jayms was lovely with my kitty! She was communicative, flexible, and easy to work with. A glass frame broke while I was away, and Jayms came over, earlier than planned, to make sure my kitty was ok and to clean up the glass. I would absolutely book her again!
Sarah took excellent care of my cat and was incredibly communicative throughout the entire time. She kept me updated regularly, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. When I got home, my cat was happy, healthy, and clearly very well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.
Sarah was amazing with our senior cat, Kitty. She is very thorough, sent videos, photos, and even cleaned up parts little uh-ohs of vomit. She even checked on our packages and our mail and our patio plants. She came by twice a day to help give my cat nutrition and her pills. I’ve never had anyone as good as Sarah and I would definitely book her again!
Great experience having Madalyn for drop in visits with my scaredy cat while I was out of town. From the meet and greet when he came right over to see her I knew it was a good fit. I could see from the daily pictures that he was seeking her out for attention instead of hiding under the bed. Thank you Madalyn!

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 Hillcrest. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
