Sarah was great!!! She watched our dog for the first time today, and we will definitely be rebooking. She was very communicative and took great care of our girl! Our dog absolutely loved her! Today we only needed care for one of our dogs, but she previously did a meet and greet with our other dog who is extremely scared and skittish around new people. Sarah was amazing with her too and made out scared pup so much more comfortable. We highly recommend Sarah and will definitely be booking her again!

About: HI I’m Heaven, and I’ve always loved being around animals. I have a one year old cat named Ponyo and a three year old English Bulldog named Molly, so I’m used to both playful energy and laid-back cuddle time. I’ve done pet sitting before and love it! I know how important it is to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m easygoing, patient, and attentive, and I try to match each pet’s personality so they feel safe and happy. I’d love to help take care of your pets and make things a little less stressful for you while you’re away! I’m currently working part time, and have a lot of wiggle room to fit in your needs! I take daily walks with my own dog and love getting to be outside with pets. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and playtime. I treat every home with respect by keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. I also provide regular updates with photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for :)

Jessica was amazing with my two Great Pyrs and they both fell in love with her immediately. She was very attentive to the boys and gave detailed updates during her visits. I would recommend Jessica to anyone that wants their fur babies in good hands.

About: I am an experienced dog owner and sitter. I grew up in a family that always had pets, including cats and dogs, and have owned multiple dogs since living on my own. Currently, I have one small chiweenie and regular dogsit dogs including Cocker Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, and Great Pyrenees. Shy or nervous rescue pets are no problem! I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, counter surfers, etc. Pets with medical issues are welcome as I have experience taking care of dogs and cats with a variety of issues who’ve needed everything from shots throughout the day or diaper changes or to receive mobility assistance. I also have experience caring for chickens if you need someone to care for your chicks. I work full-time from 8 AM-5 PM. I have a long lunch, so I can stop by to take care of any needs during the day. Drop off/pickup prior to or after work is preferred, except on the weekends when I’m free. If you really need a specific drop off or pickup time, please let me know early so I can try to accommodate that. I am up early every morning to give pets plenty of time to eat and play before leaving. When I get home, the first thing I do is let pets out to potty and to play. Throughout the evening, there is plenty of time for walks and playtime before bed. . First and foremost, I will strive to match or mimic the care and routine you give your pets at home. With a fenced in yard, your pet will have a safe place to potty and play. There are also many parks nearby to take your pet on walks or provide them with socialization. Pets are able to climb on furniture, sleep on my bed, and have mostly free rein of the house — my home is their home while we’re here. However, I have a pet gate I can put up and experience crating pets (as well as crate training dogs) for any pet who can’t be left free to roam.

I've never used a dog sitter before. This was the first time I've ever left my dogs in the care of anyone who was not a family member. I was also nervous because this was the longest I've ever been away from my dogs!! Leah and Zoe quickly made the nervousness disappear. I received tons of pictures and feedback regarding my girls! And once I saw how friendly my Chihuahua grew to be towards them (because she's very picky), I knew I made the right choice!! I plan to use these ladies each and every time!

Luciana took wonderful care of my senior kitty while I was away for a long weekend, and I’m so grateful! Beyond making sure he had fresh food/ water and a clean litter box, she took genuine care to make sure he felt safe, happy, and loved. Luciana was incredibly kind and patient with my kitty, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I highly recommend her!

It was great to have Sarah drop in & take care of our dogs! Luna is very shy & takes a bit to warm up to new people. When Sarah came over for a meet & greet I could tell Luna like Sarah right away. That’s a big relief for me! Tito loves everybody so I wasn’t too concerned about him. Sarah did a great job & communicated with me throughout. I will definitely have her come back!

About: I don't have any professional experience, but I've grown up in a family that has housed a lot of dogs and cats since I was born. We've had 4 dogs and 7 cats from my early childhood until today, so while I did obviously have the rest of my family to assist with them, I've still had firsthand experience with a lot of different behaviors and habits of these pets and how certain traits or preferences vary between them. I finished college at UGA recently, so I'm currently at home full-time. Pet care would be pretty easy to fit into my weekly schedule. I always try to make sure I feed my cat her treats once a day around the same time, so consistent feeding and cleaning wouldn't be that much harder with additional pets. I am gone some evenings on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, but other than that my time is fully open to help your pets stay relaxed, happy, and healthy. My backyard has a fence, but it's currently old and unrepaired, so the gates cannot close properly, so any pets prone to running will be staying inside or on a leash. My house is very small, but my front and backyard are very spacious, ideal for pets that are uncomfortable in small spaces. My cat can be skittish around other animals, so I will need to keep her in a separate space from them, but my family's done that with many of our cats, so it will not be a problem for the client or their pets. My roommate stays inside most of the time, so but he's also very friendly and should not pose any issues for the pets.

About: I’ve loved animals and owned dogs my entire life, so caring for pets has always been something I genuinely enjoy! Before pursuing my current career, I planned to go into veterinary medicine and spent three years working at a veterinary office, where I gained extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. Through that experience, I became comfortable with a variety of pet-care needs, including giving medications, bathing, nail trims, and caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I especially love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I currently work full-time, but my schedule allows me to be available before 8 a.m., during my lunch hour, and after 5 p.m. each day. So, if your furry friend needs to be fed, let out, or taken for a walk three times a day, I can make it happen! My weekends are much more flexible, although my job does require some Saturday work during the fall. My Saturday availability can vary, but I am typically available in the mornings and evenings. I know how important it is to have someone you can count on when it comes to your pets, and I’ll always do my best to be dependable, communicative, and flexible with your routine! When I’m caring for a pet in their home, my biggest priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any other instructions you provide. I’m also very mindful of keeping doors, gates, and leashes secure and making sure pets are never put in a situation where they could get loose or hurt themselves. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and in good hands!

Ashley has been sitting for our cats for over a year now, and we love her. She consistently goes above and beyond, and we feel incredibly confident they're getting the care they need. medical and behavioral issues aren't an issue for her. She's super communicative, and we love how many photos and videos we get.

About: @ahartpetsitting on insta!! I’ve been taking care of animals as long as I can remember. Hermit crabs, guinea pigs, lizards, fish, chickens, you name it! I just love every animal, and I still believe that they can speak, just not when we’re in the room. I work professionally with dogs every single day as a manager of a dog care facility. I’m known for liking the “bad dogs” at work along with special needs and older pets as well (I love powdered sugar faces)! I treat each animal as my own, and I would do the same with yours! I work full time as a manager at a doggy daycare, I would be able to get you a registration forms and take your pup to work with me if you’d like! My job is very flexible so I can also come home at any point and let your pup out instead of bringing them with me. I am also open to not working during the time I care for your pet. Message me and let’s talk! If you don’t have a dog, I am more than happy to talk with you and figure out if I need to come home for breaks or not work! I care for each pet exactly how owners ask me too, just with lots of extra love! I can chill if that’s what your pet likes to do, or I can adventure. I love being outside in nature as well as cozying up on the couch :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 536 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:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.

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.
