“My family is so grateful to have found Paula! She is absolutely wonderful with our two large dogs and really put our minds at ease while traveling. She went above and beyond to make sure our pups got what they needed while we were gone and kept us updated throughout. We have one dog that typically doesn't eat when we leave, but Paula patiently sat with her and got her to eat her meals. Plus, she clearly loves dogs, especially our itty bitty pitty, and gives them so much love and attention! We will definitely hire Paula to pet sit or drop-in in the future!”
“Halston was fantastic! He followed every single instruction I left for my dog and made sure he stayed on his routine, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. His communication was excellent. He sent regular updates with photos and videos, so I always knew how my pup was doing. Most importantly, it was clear how much he truly cared for my dog. When I came home, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. I will absolutely be booking again. Thank you so much!”
“Emily did an amazing job caring for my Phoebie girl! She kept me informed throughout her stay with regular updates, photos, and even pictures from their walks, which gave me so much peace of mind. Phoebie can be a little anxious and shy at times, but Emily was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding with her. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about making Phoebie feel comfortable and loved. I felt completely at ease knowing my girl was in such trustworthy hands. Emily went above and beyond, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and attentive to care for their pet. I will definitely be booking with Emily again! 🐾💖”
“Lillian was absolutely great with my dogs! She was extremely reliable and gave lots of updates with pictures included. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for care for their animals!”
“Hannah is great! We love her! She stayed with my pup during the snow storm with NO power in the house. She cuddled with my girl and kept them both warm through the night with no complaints! She is a real trooper🩵”
“We are so thankful for Victoria! She took care of our 3 dogs and home for a weekend and we trusted her through out our stay. We appreciate her communication and the time she spent with our dogs. Thank you Victoria!”
“Katey was amazing. She was very communicative and attuned to my pets needs and personalities. She was reliable and I came home to happy pets. I would definitely use her again!!”
“Great service, very attentive and handled my grumpy dog with care. Appreciated all the pics and updates! No issue with my older dog or giving medicine. Really gave me peace of mind!”
About: I’m a passionate lifelong animal lover offering dependable pet care who believes every pet deserves patient, compassionate, and attentive care. Having lived the military lifestyle firsthand I can cater to Military unique situations too! I work full time but my schedule is very flexible and I don’t work weekends or holidays. If there is special requirements that are required I can adjust to meet unique needs. I have a completely fenced in 12 foot wooden fenced in yard with plenty of room for running around and playing as well as a covered patio for crates.
About: As a proud dog mom to three large-breed rescues—a Great Pyrenees and two German Shepherd mixes—I know just how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family members! I have plenty of hands-on experience with large breeds, different personalities, and energetic pups. Whether your dog loves a leisurely stroll or needs to burn off some energy, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’d love to treat your pup like one of my own! I am available for walks after school drop off and before pick up Monday through Friday. 8:30-2:30pm. I am Flexible to help given proper notice I am positive reinforcement driven. Lots of praise, while also making sure they are being corrected for theirs and my own safety. They will always be on a leash and I will always follow your direction - as you know your pup best.
About: I grew up in a large family with many pets. We had five dogs and two cats growing up, and I have had my own pets since. I’ve had multiple dogs and cats over the years, though I just moved back to Washington, so I have no pets at the moment. I currently have open availability and am able to provide visits or stay over at clients homes to care for pets. I’m able to arrange arrival and departure to fit your schedule. I am able to fit whatever needs the client has. If your pets are accustomed to being out and about in the home, I can spend time with them that way. I also am able to use kennels for feeding or sleeping if that’s what they are used to. I’m comfortable keeping things tidy and making sure it’s a safe and clean space for them to hang out.
“Jade was great with our pets! They were loving her company while we were away, and we even got some great photos out of it too! Would highly recommend Jade for house sitting!”
About: I had an Australian Cattle Dog that I helped raise and train from 8 weeks old then got another ACD from 8 weeks old that became a reactive and aggressive dog. I learned alot about canine behavior, psychology, body language, desensitization/counterconditioning. I also learned how my energy contributes to a dog's state of mind. I also taught basic obedience such as sit, stay, down, leave it, come, walking loosely on a leash. From May 2022-Aug 2023, I lived in a multidog household with my ACD, my partner's 17 year old mix, and 2 Shiba Inus and helped take care of all of them while managing my dog's aggression while my partner worked 12-14 hour days most days of the week. I currently work from home and am self-employed as a therapist. So I'm pretty flexible and have lots of time to dedicate to ensuring your pup is taken cared of. I am a morning person so I typically like to go to the gym early in the morning (usually by 5-6am) and prefer to stay home or indoors by 5-6pm. I always treat other's home with respect and always ask what I'm allowed to touch or where I'm allowed to be while in your home. In doubt, I will always ask first.
“Gisella was an outstanding pet sitter. She went above and beyond to care for my 11 years old golden retriever, Samhara. The two bonded instantly. She played with Sam, walked her, fed her and when time came for Gisella to leave, Sam was glued to her; wouldn’t want her to go. I can’t describe the feeling of knowing that your dog is happy and safe while you travel. I highly recommend Gisella!”
“Olivia is a gem. It’s such a gift to find a pet sitter that is very communicative, considerate, thoughtful, and trustworthy. Olivia was proactive with our pets and asked us really good questions to ensure all their needs were met. She was wonderful with her updates and photos. Our pets just loved her! We highly recommend her pet care and we will be booking again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since my childhood, both my family dogs and those of friends and neighbors. I am comfortable giving oral medications as my dog takes daily oral medication. I have also watched our friends and neighbors cats since I was a teenager and know how special it is when they take a liking to you. My schedule is very flexible as I am currently between jobs after moving! Even when I start working it will be 3-4 days a week. My dog is not always dog friendly so I will not be bringing her on any walks. I can follow any specific directions you have about your pet as they are all unique!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,994 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hillhurst. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Hillhurst 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 Hillhurst 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.
Tip: 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 Hillhurst 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
