“Tyler was an absolute gem when we needed a great cat sitter while we were away for our honeymoon. Tyler sent constant updates (not enough to overwhelm) and was very prompt with answering texts. My cats seem to have loved Tyler and barely noticed us being away for 2 weeks! If you value your cats’ comfort while also being comfortable knowing your cats are safe, give Tyler a try!”
“Jacqueline took excellent care of the house and pets. Followed all instructions perfectly. Pets were happy! She left the house cleaner and tidier than she found it, too. Very pleased.”
About: Hi there! I am currently a student studying vet medicine. I’ve been working with all types of animals for 6 years now. I do work part time as a vet tech and would love to pet sit, take your furry friend for walks and give them loads of love! I have plenty experience caring for dogs and cats, I am very passionate about caring for animals and hope to open my own doggy daycare one day! I sometimes foster kittens but do not have any right now. If it says I am unavailable please ask and I can try to accommodate. I look forward to meeting you and any type of pets you have. I am comfortable caring for all types of animals, just let me know! :)
“Five stars isn’t enough. We’ve had great dog sitters, but Beverly blew us away with her kind, thoughtful, and communicative approach. We’ve never felt more comfortable and confident leaving our home and dog in her extremely capable hands. Thank you, Beverly! Will book again and again.”
“Angela is amazing! She houses sat and watched my Honey for 3 days while we were out of town. She kept us updated morning and night and sent lots of photos. Thank you Angela for spoiling our baby.”
“Veronica was so sweet, communicative and sent SO MANY photos of my dog which i really appreciate! I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a fun, communicative and overall wonderful sitter!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for years and I’m very comfortable caring for them. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping them company. I’m patient with different dog personalities and I’ll always make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I’m available throughout the week and on weekends. I can work around your dog’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care. I always follow the owner’s instructions and make sure each dog feels safe and comfortable. I keep doors and gates secure, pay attention to their behavior, and make sure they have food, water, exercise, and plenty of attention.
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have had dogs in my life since I was 5 years old. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs, and I genuinely love spending time with them. Over the years, I’ve owned multiple dogs and have experience caring for up to 4 dogs at once. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, feeding, or making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I currently work from home, so if your dog is staying with me, I’ll be home throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. If you’re booking dog walking or drop-in visits, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to stop by reliably and ensure your pet receives the care they need. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac in a townhome with a fully fenced private patio. My home is equipped with exterior security cameras, as well as an indoor camera that overlooks the main living area for added peace of mind. I enjoy taking dogs on walks through my quiet neighborhood, and there’s also a large fenced park nearby for exercise and play. If your dog is crate-trained, I’m happy to accommodate that routine, and I also have a spare room available if they would benefit from having their own quiet space to relax.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have always been the type of person who treats them like family. I currently have two Australian Cattle Dogs, Copper (7) and Oso (3), so I’m very used to energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise, attention, and stimulation. I’m an active person and genuinely enjoy being outside, so I’d love to take your dog on walks, hikes, or even runs if that’s something they enjoy. I’m also comfortable with puppies and can help with things like potty training and reinforcing basic training while you’re away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so my goal is to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while they’re with me. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible and treat them the same way I’d want someone to treat Copper and Oso. I’d love to meet your fur babies! I attend school every other day and try to do homework over the weekends, so I’d be available All day Monday and Wednesday and Friday mornings! I have had dogs all my life and will always be sure that the pets I am trusted with are always safe and in good hands!
“Kari was a great house sitter and took excellent care of Sammie. He had the time of his life while I was away. She was very attentive and sent lots of picture and video updates. Your pet is in good hands with Kari!”
About: I have had a dog since my first memory up until 3 years ago we lost our 3rd family dog. I have 3 years of experience walking dogs and about a year of training experience at a doggy daycare. I understand what pets need and the care they deserve from everyday operation at the facility I work at. I acquired a B.S. in Animal Science from Cal Poly Pomona to strengthen my understanding of animal health and welfare. I’m currently working towards my trainers certification, which is done at home at my own pace. I have an empty and free schedule to dedicate all my time to giving your best friend a positive experience!!! I have a 10 foot high fence and 8 foot surrounding barriers. My yard can accommodate 5-6 large dogs for them to run around and play comfortably. I also take dogs on 15-30 minute walks giving them opportunities to sniff and explore their environment just like they were meant to!
“We were SO grateful to have found Chloe. She is a great “baby”-sitter. She sent us so many cute pictures of the girls. Our girls were very comfortable with her. We had them with another sitter recently (and our dogs came back very stressed). With Chloe, we came back to happy healthy dogs! Lots of pictures of our anxious girl who doesn’t trust anyone else sleeping her usual “belly up” position which she only does when she feels safe. And a few sweet cuddle photos just after a day. On a practical note - she respected our house & our boundaries which was very appreciated. Followed all the routines. Took them on walks. We are very picky & we have full faith that you can trust her with your pets 😊”
“Tracy was absolutely wonderful! Our pets loved her and she took great care of both them and our home. She left our home clean and even took care of an ant infestation we had while we were away! She sent us updates with pictures of how the pets were doing while we were away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent sitter for their pets!”
“Here's a thoughtful review for your dog sitter Jenna: We are incredibly grateful to have found Jenna as our in-home dog sitter. She’s been amazing with our fur baby, treating them with so much love and care every time we need her. Jenna’s communication is always spot on, keeps us updated and is quick to respond, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. She’s not only reliable but genuinely passionate about taking care of our dog, and it shows! We feel lucky to have her, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter! Thank you so much Jenna!”
“Cristian went over and above our expectations. Kept us up to date sent photos and just provided complete reassurance we didn't need to stress over our dogs and home while on vacation. Highly recommend and our best experience to date using Rover. 5 stars plus!!!”
About: I've had dogs since I can remember. I've taken care of my family and friend's dogs for years as well and am experienced with walking, feeding, bathing, and playing ! :) I have a lot of free time even as college started considering I only have two days on campus so I'll have plenty of time to give your pups my full attention! I can follow any rules or directions given and will update you if needed. I will love and care for them as I would with my own.
“Jacqueline is a little shy in person but she communicated very well on text - she kept me updated daily how each of our pet were doing and sent lots of cute pictures of them! :) She also spent time playing with each pet, and they seemed very happy in the pictures. My cat is usually shy and would hide if a stranger is here but she warmed up pretty quickly to Jacqueline. Our place was also kept clean during her Stay too. Will rebook again!”
About: I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting, with care tailored to each pet’s routine and needs. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and have always loved caring for them. My family has had many rescue pups over the years, giving me experience with different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels—from Shih Tzus to German Shepherds and Rottweilers. I’ve also become the go-to person for family, friends, and neighbors when they need someone they trust to care for their dogs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and following each dog’s routine while their owners are away. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog and creating a positive experience that makes them feel cared for. I work part-time remotely from home in the mornings, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day, making pet care a natural part of my routine. My availability allows me to be present and dependable while your pet is in my care. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll provide a calm and caring environment while following your instructions, routines, and any special needs. Pets will never be left unattended and will always have access to fresh water. I’ll also share regular updates and photos so you can stay connected and feel confident knowing your furry family member is being cared for while you’re away.
About: I have 20 years of experience in dog care and can take house and yard and can also walk the dog on time. I’ve been raising dogs for a while now. It’s a joyful experience filled with playful moments and challenges. Every day, I learn something new about their behavior and needs. They bring so much happiness and companionship into my life. It’s amazing how much love and loyalty they show. 1. Feeding: • Once or twice a day depending on the animal and vet recommendations. 2. Fresh Water: • Change water at least once daily. 3. Exercise/Playtime: • Dogs need walks (15–30minutes depending on breed). 4. Grooming (as needed): • Brushing, checking for ticks/fleas, especially for long-haired animals. 5. Clean-ups: • Scoop litter boxes, clean up after walks, or spot-clean cages. Routine Care Includes: • Feeding and Watering: According to the pet’s normal schedule. • Exercise & Play: Walks for dogs, play sessions for cats or small animals. • Medication Administration: If required — pills, drops, or injections (if trained). • Litter Box or Yard Clean-Up: Scooping, changing litter, picking up after walks. • Home Care: Bringing in mail, watering plants, light tidying up, alternating lights or blinds to make the home look lived in.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hillgrove
Having a bulldog with severe separation anxiety, we were worried about leaving him for our 10 day getaway… especially since we have never before left him alone for more than a day. After interviewing Beverly, we were very comfortable allowing her to live in our home to take care of Buster and our house. She exceeded our expectations, showing us photos of her interaction with our dog and providing updates during our entire trip. We were excitedly greeted by a very happy dog upon our return. Beverly did an OUTSTANDING job!
Tasha did a great job of house/pet sitting for us. She kept us informed with frequent texts and pictures so we were assured things were going well. Our dog Ivy obviously enjoyed being with her. Our house was in great shape when we returned. Tasha kindly agreed to stay later when our return flight was delayed. We highly recommend Tasha.
Katya did a nice job . She had good rapport with Cassidy as well as taking good care of her.She also took care of my tortoise. She left the house clean and tidy. I really appreciated the care she took of my senior dog with the intricate feeding schedule I have for her.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Hillgrove walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Hillgrove maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Hillgrove choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
