“I need to begin with the fact that I work in vet med and have a first hand view of everything that can possibly go wrong at any time with a family member. I do not like to travel. I do not like to leave my large house full of babies. I know all too well what can happen. That said, Melissa made this recent trip unbelievably easy and stress free for me, both with her attention to detail and herself, her humor and personality, which left me able to relax and trust that things were going smoothly. After 7 days, so smoothly, in fact, that my own babies whom I have never left didn't care that I was back! TRAITORS!!!!! She updated me daily, and even scolded me for not letting her know I received all the photos. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND with my Nordic dog and her blowing her coat (if you have one, you know this season is awful), sweeping up after my messy kitten, tackling some unusual pets, fitting me into her schedule....I cannot truly express in this format how wonderful this entire experience was. I am singing her praises to my entire hospital of pet owners and anyone else that I know that will listen. She was a bright light of my entire week, knowing the most important things in my life were being cared for to a standard that I trusted. A million "thank you"s will never be enough.”
About: I have been taking care off dogs since age five, when my family first got my childhood dog. Since then I have cared for two other dogs, providing basic training. Professionally, I have been watching dogs for 4 years, walking, feeding, and providing a fun experience to many dogs. I love dogs and would be so happy to care for yours! I currently work part time, mostly on the weekends. This means I would have around the clock time to assist during the week. For the weekends, I could board dogs if they are able to be apart for up to six hours, which typically would not happen. I have a large one bedroom apartment which will allow ample space to play with the dog inside. Regarding being outside, I love going on walks and can take them to the dog park, as well as using the yard outside my apartment.
“We just got our puppy and had to leave for a wedding so we decided to book with Rover. Savannah was great with our puppy and made sure he received love throughout the day!”
“This was our first visit away from our kitten, Nico, and I was incredibly nervous. However, Kayli took excellent care of our guy. She was incredibly communicative, gave Nico very well rounded visits (lots of snuggles, all of his favorite toys, etc.), and made sure to ask all of the right questions before our trip began. We will definitely be booking her again, Nico will miss her!”
“While I didn’t actually get to meet Edmond and Nafis, they were very easy and pleasant to work with. They were also accommodating when my trip got unexpectedly extended. I got detailed summaries of each visit and lots of pictures which always puts my mind at ease! I will definitely be booking them again in the future.”
About: I’m a dedicated dog owner with hands-on experience caring for multiple fur babies with different needs, personalities, and sizes. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic care, and giving pets the patience and attention they need to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also have experience with dogs who deal with allergies, sensitive stomachs, and anxious behavior, so I understand how important it is to pay attention to routines and little changes in behavior. What sets me apart is that I truly treat fur babies like family. I know every pet has their own personality, comfort level, energy needs, and routine, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel secure. Whether your dog is playful and active, shy and nervous, or just wants cuddles and consistency, I aim to provide loving, dependable care and regular updates so you can feel at ease while they’re with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for dogs of my own and structure my day around feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m used to keeping up with routines, paying attention to behavior changes, and giving pets the time, patience, and affection they need. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or boarding, I make sure each pet gets consistent care, attention, and a calm environment. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean, secure, and calm environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, potty schedules, medications if needed, and any special routines or triggers your pet may have. In a client’s home, I respect your space and do my best to keep your pet on their normal routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I also believe in regular updates, clear communication, and treating every fur baby with the same love, patience, and care I would want for my own.
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: Cat papi Trav. Good for watching after your little fluff of love while you’re out enjoying yourself. Avid pet lover, but have a soft spot for cats Work from home so I have time to sneak in belly rubs and ear scratches throughout the day. If your cat/dog isn’t the most social we car look at each other from the across the room. I have a 2 bed room condo. Enough space for all to enjoy themselves. A nice park for the walks, and nice windows for the cats to peer into the outside world.
“Jada And Nazir are two amazing people. They were very personable and communicated effectively. I booked them for drop in services and they were on time and thorough.”
About: Even with just one year of hands-on pet care experience, I stand out because my approach focuses on attentiveness, patience, and understanding each animal’s unique personality. I’ve worked with a variety of cats—shy, energetic, senior, and special-needs—and I’ve learned how to build trust quickly through calm interaction, consistent routines, and gentle handling. I’m currently in college on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, but outside of those hours, my schedule is very flexible. Since I am not working right now, I’m available most weekdays, weekends, and evenings. This allows me to be dependable, responsive, and able to adjust to pet-care needs with plenty of open time. When I’m caring for your dog in your home, my focus is on keeping their routine consistent and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow all instructions closely and treat your space with respect.
“Thanks so much Yerlis. Very professional. Dogs took to her immediately. Timely and accommodating. First time on the app and a great impression so far. Will see you soon.”
“Mikela was very personable and very communicative when we did our virtual meet and greet. Our kitty is very old and needed some extra care and she was very understanding and helpful about it. We were away with no service except for emergencies/ rare service spots so when we were able to check in she was very fast with responding and giving us updates. We super appreciated her and her attention to detail and how well our little old lady was cared for. We would absolutely book her again. Thank you Mikela!”
“Alejandra did a great job dropping in on our cats over the weekend. She was on time, provided detailed reports, took lots of pictures, and asked good questions when some of the instructions we left were unclear. I plan to hire her again if she is willing!”

I currently am not working right now , so I do have a lot of free time to care for pets and spend time with them!! I treat every pet like my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hillcrest Heights
Cynthia is wonderful! She takes excellent care of my dog and cat and always goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She’s reliable, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. She’s also one of the very few people my cat actually likes—which says a lot! Highly recommend her!
Nina was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time hiring a cat sitter, and she made the entire experience completely stress-free. She sent thoughtful updates with photos and videos twice a day, which allowed me to truly enjoy my vacation knowing my kitty was happy and comfortable at home. She went above and beyond my expectations, and I couldn't recommend her more!
Shelby always takes such great care of Tulip when we’re away. We haven’t found a sitter we can rely on like Shelby in such a long time! We always know that when we book with her Tulip is in great hands. I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for someone responsive and reliable. The pics and videos are always a nice touch!
I highly recommend her! She took wonderful care of my dog and treated him like her own. She made sure he was well-fed, gave him plenty of love and attention, and took him on regular walks. It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and responsible hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
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!

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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.
