“Tina was so amazing with our Nala! She came by and did drop off visits when we were away for the weekend. Tina sent tons of photos of her playing and walking our girl. It was obvious when we came home that Nala wasn’t stressed at all to have us away with Tina looking out for her:)”

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.
“Madelyn was an amazing sitter! She was incredibly friendly, followed all of our instructions, and left everything clean and tidy. She took wonderful care of our cats, Mochi and Buyo, making sure they were well cared for, played with, and given plenty of love while we were away. We came home to two happy cats and had complete peace of mind throughout our trip. She’s very trustworthy, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter :)!”
“Mariela did an amazing job watching my 2 cats while I was away. She gave great updates on the cats and everything was neat and clean in my house when I got home. Would definitely book again!!”
“I appreciated the detailed messages Monica sent about my cat’s mood and behavior. Monica made it easy to trust that she could watch my cat for such a long time. I will use her again!”
“Teresa was amazing with my cat. I can tell my cat was very comfortable around her and she was very considerate with everything. Things were left tidy and neat and my cat happy. Just wonderful!”
About: Hi! I’m Sarah, a lifelong dog lover who has always grown up with multiple dogs in my family (besides my freshman year of college in the dorms, which was a long enough break for me before I adopted a dog of my own again). I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from black Labradors and American bulldogs to smaller breeds like pugs. I’ve also dog-sat for friends, family, and neighbors many times, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I currently have two pugs of my own, Bean (3) and Gus (5), who keep me on my toes and bring a lot of joy to my everyday life. Being a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. While this is my first time on Rover, I’m not new to dog care. I bring years of hands-on experience and a calm, attentive approach to every dog I care for. Whether your pup is playful and energetic or more relaxed and cuddly, I’ll treat them like my own and make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m an elementary school teacher, so I currently have the summer off, which gives me a lot of free time during the week and a very flexible schedule. During the school year, I still have consistent mornings, evenings, and weekends available for pet care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already structure my day around my two pugs and am used to taking on that sense of responsibility and consistency. I’m used to managing feeding/walking schedules, routines, and daily needs. I also enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so incorporating walks and check-ins is something I genuinely look forward to. In my home, pets would be cared for in a calm, safe, and supervised environment. I have two very friendly pugs, Bean (5) and Gus (3), who are social, gentle, and get along well with other dogs. I always do slow, supervised introductions to make sure everyone is comfortable. Dogs in my care get regular walks (at least 2–3 times a day depending on their needs), along with plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. I also have a securely fenced outdoor area for quick potty breaks, but I prioritize walks for exercise and enrichment. My goal is to make visiting dogs feel at home while keeping a structured, safe routine so they feel comfortable and cared for during their stay.
“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.”
“Caitlin took EXCELLENT care of our kitties, she gave us super detailed check ins, lots of photos, and I can tell she really treated our babies like her own. We would 1000% recommend Caitlin!”

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!
Monica was fantastic ! We didn’t have a chance to meet prior to her visit as I booked last minute . Everything went extremely smooth and my two cats were well cared for . I will be using her again for future trips and highly recommend . She sent daily pictures and notes on the visit . Thank you again Monica for taking care of my Fur Babies !

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:

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.
