“Kayli did a fantastic job checking on my cat! Her Rover cards were very detailed and she provided great photos! She is the sweetest and went above and beyond throughout her sessions, even watering my plants when she noticed they needed it! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a drop-in pet sitter.”

“Savannah took such great care of my cat Zena while I was away on travel. She sent so many pictures and updates, and followed all my care instructions, it gave me peace of mind. Was very happy to see Zena so well taken care of. Will definitely book Savannah again for future sittings!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I currently have an American Staffordshire Terrier (AmStaff) and have had several dogs throughout my life, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and consistency that come with caring for a dog. I’ve also spent time learning about dog training and behavior, which has helped me better understand how dogs communicate, learn, and respond to their environment. I’m comfortable recognizing different temperaments and adjusting my approach to help each dog feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I currently work Monday through Friday from 8 AM–4 PM, but I’m available after work and on weekends to assist with your canine companions. I’m happy to provide dependable, loving care and give your dog the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I’ll work with your schedule and do my best to make things convenient and stress-free for both you and your dog! I have a fenced-in yard and a friendly dog at home who loves to play and make new friends! Your dog will have a safe space to enjoy some outdoor time, play, and get plenty of attention. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or visiting yours, I’ll treat your home and your dog with the same respect, love, and care that I give my own. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

About: I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog's individual needs, whether they enjoy long walks, lots of playtime, or simply relaxing with companionship. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies who need consistency and positive reinforcement, as well as senior dogs who require a slower pace, extra patience, and gentle care. I enjoy being active, so regular walks and outdoor time are something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it's a quick drop-in visit, a daily walk, or overnight care, I make it a priority to provide dependable, loving care while keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions so they can stay happy and comfortable. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, and affection while ensuring they're always supervised and secure.

About: I have extensive experience in caring for both cats and dogs. I have a rescue Bombay cat named Mojo, who unfortunately has FIC (Feline Idiopathic Cystitis). However, this has made me proficient in administering medication to animals and monitoring them closely! Additionally, I grew up with many Pit Bulls in my childhood home. This has given me the ability to handle larger animals effectively. I actively volunteer at local shelters in my free time as well. I aim to create safe yet homely environments to ensure optimal well-being for every furry friend under my care. I am currently on summer break from college, granting me open availability. With no constraints on my schedule, I can provide round-the-clock attention and care to furry companions. Whether it's early morning walks, midday playtime, or late-night cuddles, I am fully committed to catering to the individual needs and preferences of each animal under my care. I provide a fenced backyard for safe playtime and a separate room for restful sleep. With the presence of my friendly cat, Mojo, companionship and socialization are encouraged. Animals are free to roam, including my room if comfortable.

Cynthia J. is a fantastic sitter. She asks thoughtful questions prior to and during visits, always sends photos and updates, and goes above an beyond to ensure that both your pet and your home are taken care of. She's much appreciated in a city where customer service can leave something to be desired. She more than compensates. Anyone hiring her is lucky to have her.

Mickela was great with my cats, and we have a lot of cats. She was able to make each of my cats feel safe and cared for while I was gone on a very long work trip. Normally I come home to a house with some kitty messes due to stress and this time I came home to a clean and happy house where I could just hop right back into our normal routine. I have already booked Mickela for my next work trip and she will 100% be my regular sitter. I highly recommend!. She was able to give my cats their medicine, handle a pretty hectic feeding time, and keep everyone happy and stress free. If you want someone to love your cat like their own Mickela is your person!

Cassandra is an absolutely fantastic sitter. She is proactive, detail oriented, and reliable. We were gone for a week and have two very spoiled cats. I left a long list of things I wanted her to do for us, including giving one of our cats his inhaler every day, and mixing in supplements into food, along with lots of preferences to keep their routine as normal as possible. Cassandra not only followed everything we requested, but went above and beyond. She gave us detailed reports about how the cats were doing and photos every day for us. We do not leave our cats alone often and I was so happy to have someone that I knew was exceedingly capable of caring for them. We had a few issues with another sitter that was also booked for another time of day while we were away on the same trip, and I think I would've lost my mind if Cassandra wasn't around. She gave me peace of mind that she was handling any potential problems, even if she wasn't the one that caused them. Thank you again for all of your efforts and keeping Spooky and Jinx happy and healthy while we were away!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Hillcrest Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hillcrest Heights on Rover is $22.2 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 16,370 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hillcrest Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Heights 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 Heights. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
