“Tina is super great! =) She took care of Penny while I was in a long trip. She went twice a day to my house to take care of her, sent me pictures and kept me posted always about how she was doing. Penny loves Tina =). I have schedule walks with her more than 20 times now. I definitely recommend her =) I have schedule with other walkers, but nobody is as nice, supportive and attentive with me as she has been =).. She deserves 10 stars! =D”
“Danielle was so great with my two cats! I really appreciated her quick communication and her flexibility with their changing routines, since recently moving to a home with a dog. Her care and attention towards them made me feel super at ease. I will definitely use her again!”
“Latisha is amazing! She has such a calming energy, my cat took to her immediately during the meet and greet. She provides such thorough visit info and great photos, that even half way across the world I know that my cat was well taking care of 🥰”
“I can't recommend Emily enough! She is incredibly kind, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about my senior pup. I always feel completely safe leaving my dog in her care, which gives me so much peace of mind. She's also an excellent communicator and keeps me updated every step of the way. Even when my family threw a few unexpected curveballs her way, she handled everything with patience, flexibility, and a great attitude. We are so grateful to have found her!”
“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!”
“Olivia is the absolute best! She took such great care of our sweet boy. She left very thorough report cards every day and brought in our mail which was really above and beyond.”
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.
“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.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“The only bad part about highly recommending Ana is that her schedule might get too full 😂 now for real, Ana is a saint. My dog is very picky and an old man and somehow she just gets him. She's incredibly reliable and quick to respond. I had a two week trip planned and Ana continuously gave updates and pictures, moreso than my own sister who was actually house sitting with him! She's so caring and loving, your pup will be so happy with Ana as a new friend”
“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!”
“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.”
“We have used Owen for nighttime care a couple of times. He came highly recommended by a friend, so we felt good about trusting him alone in our home with our dog, Linda. He shows up on time, sends updates with cute pictures, responds in a timely manner to my texts, and takes care to follow the instructions that I leave him. Linda is always excited to see Owen, and you can tell he truly cares for animals.”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hillcrest
Latisha has done an absolutely incredible job as always! Our cats adore her, and she always goes above and beyond in the care and love she provides them. It’s hard to leave our pets, but we know they’re in incredible, kind and capable hands thanks to Latisha!
My dog can sometimes be a little shy of new people, but Darya was so patient with her which let my dog easily became comfortable. Great communication and pictures made me feel at ease during time away. I also had a very last minute request and she did it with no problem. I will definitely be rebooking again when I need!
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 !
Derya went above and beyond while dog sitting for us. She brought and gifted a toy to our dog, walked her multiple times, played with her, did check ins, and was very quick with responses. Definitely will be booking again next foster dog we have. They are truly the best
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 :)!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hillcrest on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hillcrest stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
