“Paula is amazing! I loved all of the photos she sent, and she was great at communicating. My dogs looooved her. She tidied the house and had the sheets in the wash— really appreciated her extra effort.”
“Khaytlen was absolutely amazing while staying at my home to take care of my 2 GSDs. She treated both my pups and my house with the utmost care and respect. I received regular updates and photos, and it was clear that Holly and Kane were happy, super active with long walks, and well loved the entire time. The house was spotless when I returned, and my dogs barely seemed to notice I’d been gone — the best sign of all! I couldn’t have asked for a more reliable, thoughtful, and kind sitter. I’ll definitely be booking Khaytlen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted in-home dog sitter! 🐾”
“Great job staying with and taking good care of our dogs, lots of pictures and updates over the course of the stay. It was wonderful knowing they were being well cared for while we were away from them.”
“Outstanding house sitting care for my 10 year old Korean Jindo who still is very active. She clearly bonded very well and communicated with us often including sending pics of my dog happily doing different things. The house looked very clean and tidy when we returned. She will be our pick again.”
“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!”
“Hannah is amazing. She is patient and sweet and loving to my diva dog. She takes such great care of our home and keeps us updated along the way. We feel so much better knowing she is with our lil dog. We adore her and will rebook as often as she will take us!”
“Caroline was a wonderful sitter! She took great care of our dog and went above and beyond to accommodate unexpected situations. We felt extremely comfortable having her and are grateful for the many ways she helped us when we were traveling. We highly recommend her!”
“Stephanie was great with my Shih Tzus Belle and Finn. She administered oral meds and eye ointment without a problem, played fetch, and kept them happy with cuddles and loads of attention. Quickly responded to my texts - I had no concern my Littles were anything but happy with her. Will use Stephanie again in the future!”
“We were so lucky to have found Zach on short notice to house sit for our two husky mixes over the weekend. He was friendly, great with our dogs (despite our girl having quite a bit of anxiety with new people) and made us feel comfortable with lots of updates throughout the weekend. He even ran with the dogs daily which was a huge plus! He left our house spotless, and when we came home, our dogs were calm and happy and clearly well looked-after. Thank you, Zach! We will definitely be coming back as a repeat client!”
“If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would. Megan went above and beyond for our pups and we are so grateful to her for showering our pups with love while we were away. Great communication, left the house spotless, and sent pictures every day. We will definitely contact her again for any future needs.”
“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! 🐾💖”
“Drew really cares about animals. They went above and beyond to take care of my dog Oakley often times taking them to the park and paid close attention to details about my dog. Communication was top tier and she always updated me with pictures! If I ever need to book again I’m choosing drew!”
“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!”
“Christina sent regular pictures and updates and provided great communication. She left our house neat and tidy. She was very friendly and I enjoyed meeting her and appreciate her to taking good care of our sweet Luna girl.”
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.
“Parkre is wonderful! She was great with our brand new puppy and senior dog, took them outside and played with them a ton, sent us lots of pictures, communicated super well, and was really flexible with timing when our schedule changed. We came back to a clean house and happy pups. We love her and would highly recommend her!”
“Fawn was super kind and communicative. This was the first time in 10+ years that we have left our animals and the pictures and updates put us at ease. When we got home you could tell the animals were well taken care of. We will for sure be reaching back out if we need help with our animals again.”
“Fawn is by far the best house and dog sitter we’ve ever had! We highly recommend her services and will absolutely be using her again and again. Our boys adored her, and we loved the updates and pictures she sent throughout the day. Thank you again, Fawn, for taking such great care of our pups and our home!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Hillhurst
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 3,092 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 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 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.

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.
