“Naomi was wonderful! She communicated well, was reliable, sent photos and even offered to come back if our flight was delayed due to bad weather. We’ll definitely hire her again!!”
“Tressa is a one-of-a-kind dog sitter. As first-time Rover users, we were hesitant about leaving our dogs with a stranger. She kindly accommodated multiple meetings with our dogs before we left for vacation so our girls could become comfortable with her. She sent multiple photo and video updates daily which provided peace of mind during our entire vacation—always showing how happy our girls were. She left the house spotless and I would not hesitate to book her again!”
“We had another great experience with Jenna! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our fur babies. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for pups. We would definitely book with Jenna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Bonnie stepped in for a last minute booking and got the job done. Myka was fed and cared for while I was away, and everything at home was as I left it. Communication was fine. Nothing went wrong, and I appreciated her flexibility on short notice.”
“Olivia was wonderful! I came home to a happy, calm pup. I was really anxious to leave him after a bad experience with a previous sitter, but this is the happiest I’ve seen him after being away in a long time. She also took great care of the house and my flowers. I highly recommend Olivia for any pet-sitting needs!”
About: I work at a doggie daycare and boarding place. I have experience with reactive dogs, I know how to administer medications like: eye drops, pills, supplements, sprays, (not injections but I can learn). I have experience with meals that have multiple components. I have no problem with multiple dogs. I tend to feed and take out ten to fifteen dogs in the morning at work. I work four days a week at a doggie daycare and boarding place. Thursday to Sunday. 6am to 3pm. But I’m typically up at 4:30am. I have an hour break from 11am-12pm. I would be gone about five hours in the mornings but after work i have nothing. On Tuesday I have a standing class from 9-11am and an appointment from 2-3pm. I really like to build trust and understanding with my animals. They each have their own unique personalities and you have to adapt to them. It would be the same with my clients. I have taken care of horses before and you can probably imagine how unpredictable they can be sometimes. Working at my job, I have to have a real eye for stressors. They play and groups and any misbehavior can lead to a fight so I have to be on top of it.
“Leilani did excellent, the dogs and cats were well taken care of. She followed our written instructions and was great at keeping us updated on how things were going. The home was taken care of very well and we will definitely book her again in the future.”
“Britney watched our two older basset hounds for 2 weeks. She did an excellent job. She sent photos and updates daily. She took excellent care of the dogs and our home. I would highly recommend.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years, and during that time I’ve become the go‑to sitter for friends and family. Whether it’s walks, drop‑in visits, overnight stays, or keeping pups comfortable in their own home, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and understood. I’m big on connection — head scratches, cuddles, and calm reassurance for shy pups, plus plenty of ways to burn off energy for the more playful ones. That might look like throwing a ball, going for a walk, or playing chase around the yard until those happy tail wags kick in. Your dog’s routine, comfort, and happiness come first. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like they’re my own. You can trust that while you’re away, your pup will be cared for with patience, affection, and attention to detail. I work from remotely, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your dog throughout the day. I can provide potty break in the morning, at lunch, and in the evening and head scratches, playtime, and lots of love through out the day. This schedule is ideal for house sitting in your home where your pup gets consistent attention and a calm, reliable routine. I can also offer drop‑in visits in the morning and afternoon if you prefer your dog to stay in their own space. I offer gentle, structured walks to help your dog burn energy, stay mentally stimulated, and feel confident throughout the day. Whether it’s a quick morning walk or an afternoon outing, I make sure every walk is safe, calm, and tailored to your pup’s pace and personality. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I create a steady, reliable environment where your dog feels secure, understood, and genuinely loved. Because I work remotely, your pup benefits from consistent presence and attention. I maintain their routine, watch for stress signals, and ensure they get the right balance of potty breaks, affection, and play. Whether I’m staying in your home or stopping by for drop‑ins, you can trust that your dog is in patient, attentive, and responsible hands.
“Frenchie stayed with our two pups for a week. She was fantastic. Very responsive with her communication and attentive to our dogs. We'll definitely use her again!”
“Amberly was hands down the most caring and attentive pet sitter. One of our dogs gets separation anxiety and has a hard time eating when we are gone, but this was no issue for Amberly! She took the time to sit with him and comfort him as he finished his meal. Amberly was also very flexible by meeting with me prior to watching the dogs to go over details and stuck around longer when we decided to extend our trip. If you are looking for a great pet sitter, I highly recommend Amberly. She was fantastic! I hope to rebook her for future needs.”
“Vanessa was amazing! My dog recently had surgery & I was so nervous to leave him for the night. Vanessa was super knowledgeable & made me feel so much better about leaving my pup with a sitter! She sent a ton of updates, photos, and was very communicative! She was great!”
“Rylee took great care of our pups on a last minute trip. She was flexible with our timing and was great at communicating with us. We look forward to her watching our pups again.”
“Hailey was absolutely amazing with both of my dogs! She’s a great communicator and keeps you updated throughout your time away from your pups. When my truck broke down and I was delayed, Hailey was incredible, she extended her stay and made sure my dogs were perfectly taken care of. Both of my dogs loved her! I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“John (Hilton) was great! He did a great job taking care of my two dogs and everything was neat and tidy when I got home. He sent updates and photos the entire time. I will definitely use him again in the future to watch my two dogs.”
“Emma is amazing. She is super conscientious- very communicative, honest, reliable. She immediately bonded with our big St. Bernard and took great care of him. We returned after a long trip with our sweet doggo looking healthy, happy and relaxed. She sent tons of pictures of our boy. She took great care of our house including trouble shooting moving cars for street plowing. Highly recommend having Emma care for pets, houses, or honestly anything. Would book her again in a heartbeat.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Hillman 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 Hillman 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 Hillman 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
