Tina was amazing with Monte!! She was very kind and responsive - also sent me tons of pics which we loved. My 10 month old puppy can be a handful but Tina was patient and made sure to adhere to the current training tactics we’re working on with him. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future.

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 grown up around dogs and cats my entire life and have always been responsible for helping care for them. I have experience walking dogs, feeding them, and spending time with them at the beach and outdoors. I enjoy being active with pets and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I am reliable, patient, and attentive, and I treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already prioritize structure, responsibility, and being attentive to details. I plan my day around scheduled visits so I can consistently show up on time and give each pet my full attention without rushing. Since I’ve grown up caring for cats, checking on feeding, water, litter boxes, and giving companionship when needed feels like a normal part of my day rather than an extra task. I make sure to stay flexible so I can accommodate morning, midday, or evening visits while still keeping pets’ routines consistent and stress-free. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, whether in my home or the client’s home. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and their environment is clean and comfortable. I pay attention to their behavior and comfort level, giving them space when needed and gentle interaction when they’re open to it. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything tidy while focusing on the pet’s needs first. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for so their time away from their owner is as stress-free as possible.

Our pups loved Phillip the moment they met him. He stopped by and did a meet and greet, which was very comforting. One could tell he also enjoys being around dogs. He kept us updated daily and even collected our mail and packages. We left him a letter regarding caring for the pups and he followed every step. On the last day he spent a few minutes with us and the dogs and you could tell they were happy to see him. Will definitely use him again.

About: I am a young, energetic, and dedicated pet sitter with a lot of experience caring for dogs, cats and more. One of my greatest strengths is the genuine connection I build with animals. I have loved and cared for animals since I was a child, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience fostering both puppies and senior dogs, giving me an understanding of the unique needs. I am patient, attentive, and creative when it comes to keeping pets engaged, comfortable, and happy through play. I have a very open schedule so pet care is my full time job at the moment I’m still job searching, and I love animals so I’m grateful I’m able to hang out with dogs for a job. I provide attentive care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. My experience includes fostering both puppies and senior dogs, so I am comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels and requirements. I ensure pets are fed on their regular schedule, always have access to fresh clean water, and receive baths as needed. I take dogs outside frequently for bathroom breaks and provide walks throughout the day as needed. For social and active dogs, I also enjoy taking them to safe places such as dog parks or Fiesta Island for exercise and enrichment. Safety is always a priority, and when caring for multiple pets, I carefully manage feeding times and treats to prevent any conflicts and create a calm, positive environment for everyone.

About: Hi, I’m Jana! I am a full-time physical therapist looking to spend time with some pups since I currently do not have one of my own. I’ve been a passionate animal lover my entire life, growing up with a beloved family dog and later raising my own Australian Shepherd from a puppy. Because of my Aussie, I am incredibly comfortable managing high-energy breeds and keeping up with demanding exercise schedules, making me the perfect match for active dogs who love long, fulfilling walks. Over the years, I’ve also become the trusted, go-to dog and cat sitter for my friends. Through these diverse experiences, I’ve developed a deep understanding of animal behavior and know exactly how to read their cues to make them feel safe, secure, and completely comfortable around me. Above all, safety is my absolute top priority. I approach every walk and sitting session with extreme care, ensuring your furry family member is never put in danger. I can't wait to meet your pet and provide the reliable, attentive care they deserve! Certifications: Cat and Dog First Aid and IAP Dog Walker certified. I currently work Tuesday through Fridays so I am available Saturday, Sunday and Mondays when most pet parents may be traveling. Also, I am willing to walk or drop in during my days off for those who work weekends! When caring for pets at their own home I prioritize their needs as well as the privacy of my clients. I will always treat their home with respect. If your pup is staying with me, be assured I will keep them on their normal schedule and give them the love and attention they deserve.

Rhys was the first ever professional pet sitter I’ve ever hired, as I’ve been too afraid in the past to leave my pets with people who aren’t family. He was kind, professional, sent me daily pictures and updates and best of all my sweet girl LOVES him. Torta is usually very shy and cautious with people but warmed to him quickly. Rhys was flexible when I extended my trip as well and it was a huge relief knowing he was caring for her. I will be hiring him again (if he agrees to have us!!!)

Anthony was fantastic with my cat Misty! She’s definitely shy and wary of strangers so she didn’t warm up completely, but he still put in the effort to make her feel comfortable and not so alone while I was gone. I got updates after every visit and pictures to see how she was doing. I even had some scheduling issues near the end of my trip and Anthony was extremely accommodating. I’d definitely recommend him and he’ll be at the top of my list the next time I go on vacation.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Hillcrest on Rover is $23.31 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 4,407 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hillcrest. 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 Hillcrest. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
