Angela was wonderful. She visited before the overnight to meet everyone, and they all reacted positively. I came home to a peaceful house with calm animals, everything was clean and neat, feeding areas were ready for the next meal. She contacted me when one of the gang had an accident, about my preferred method of dealing with it. She arrived promptly and started sending pictures and updates. We will be having her to house sit again.

About: I have been sitting dogs off and on for the last 5-6 years. I have an Aussie that loves playing with other dogs and is the sweetest. I currently work full time from home and can play throughout the day. I am able to let my fur baby out multiple times a day whenever he needs. I have a big backyard without a fence. There’s plenty of room to run with my dog each day and to keep your fur baby company the whole day.

We had an amazing experience with our pet sitter, Abbigail! She took such great care of our pets and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, communicative and treated our fur babies like they were her own. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and we couldn’t be more grateful!!! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Catecha was wonderful in every way. Our dog took to her immediately and they obviously fell in love. We were nervous because Roki had NEVER in his 14 years stayed with anyone he hadn't known all his life. Catecha. Sent photos and reports almost every day We highly recommend Catecha and will ask for her if we have future dog free trips

About: I have volunteered at an animal rescue around a year. I was responsible for fixing them food, water, cleaning their crate and playing with them. I also had a family dog growing up and currently have three cats. I work from home full-time and get multiple breaks throughout the day, so I am always available at home. I am a homebody and have the time to care for animals. I have a fenced in back yard with a grassy area. Pets sitting on the furniture and being around is no issue. I do have three cats, but I am able to keep them separate at all times.

About: I have taken care of all types of animals since I was 5 years old! I spend most of my free time with my pets and I work at a pet store! I own a Jack Russell Terrier, a Mainecoon, a cockatiel, a hamster, many different types of reptiles, and fish. I am very experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to pets! I am constantly caring for animals of all shapes and sizes, as I own 14 myself! It is part of my daily routine and I enjoy doing it. I am very well versed in dog training, as I have studied it in hopes of becoming either a dog trainer or a groomer. I have easily taught my 7 year old rescue dog basic commands such as sitting, spinning, laying down, and even potty training after he had been an outside dog for years. I am able to correctly follow care instructions as I've been doing it for over a year now working with a pet store!

About: I absolutely adore animals. When I was younger, it was my dream to go into the veterinary field (the only thing that stopped me is I have a hard time saying goodbye to any animal.) I've cared for horses and other farm animals on family and local farms, and I currently help my family and friends care for their animals when they're away with work or need help dog training. They come to me with any training questions about puppies, too. I'm experienced with potty training, crate training, socialization, regular care, and elderly pet care. I've always been involved with girl scouts, 4H (animal science), and FFA (future farmers of america), so you can trust that I am widely knowledgeable about everything from lizards to pigs to cats and dogs! Every fur baby will be in loving hands in my care. My pets come first, always. I wake up 5-6am and take care of pets, including feeding, medicine, and litter boxes, then spend some time outdoors whether that's a walk or spending some time in the window to bird watch with cats. My cat eats 3 small meals a day, so lunch time comes next, followed by calm and wind down time. I spend an hour minimum playing at a higher energy with animals, and we take a trip outside (for walkable babies). When we are back inside, it's more wind down time before dinner. Another walk, and it's bed time. I have an indoor cat to keep your baby company when inside I have two outside lovable and energetic dogs and a huge yard Dogs are always on leashes and always within my line of sight Wind down time before eating to prevent bloat Experienced with a variety of warning signs for emergency care Able to give medicine, shots, special prepared foods, and any other needs for babies who need special help

About: My love for animals started when I worked at an animal shelter. I’ve had reptiles, cats, dogs, birds, and even ferrets. I have over two years of housesitting/ petsitting experience. I currently work from home so I am available to sit in your home any day of the week. This ensures that your pet gets all the attention they desire. The only requirement I have is that you have home Internet. I would love for your pet to keep the routine that they are used to and in the home they are used to while you are away.

About: Hi 👋 I offer overnight care in the pet's home environment to be sure they are well cared for while you're away. I'm available to care for them, love on them, and go above and beyond your expectations! I will come do an introductory visit with the pets while you are there so I can meet them and we can go over their routines, what they like to do during the day, discuss any medications, discuss any household chores, and we can be sure the pets will feel comfortable with me as their caregiver while you are away. I've been blessed to care for dogs, cats, horses, ponies, chickens, ducks, turtles, and even catfish. I’ve been blessed to pet sit for years and I will happily provide references at your request! I am available to pet/home sit for any duration. One day/night up to weeks at a time. My rates are fair and affordable. Along with caring for your fur family, I can also handle everyday household tasks such as watering plants, taking the trash to the road, checking the mail, and etc. Household chores are no extra charge. Please, no snakes or lizards. Let's chat! Other than pet sitting, I do ministry with a Christian camp. When we discuss the dates and what you need, I can tell you about my ministry schedule for the dates that you need me. Rest assured, I will be sure to take excellent care of your fur family! During the introductory visit, I make it a point to learn the general household schedule so I know what is normal around your home and what is not normal. I take safety of your fur family and your property seriously. If your fur family needs to go outside, I am right there with them. If your fur family stays outside, apart from me spending time playing with them, I check on them routinely to be sure they are safe and content.

Emily took good care of my pets while I was gone for a week. She sent pictures and I could see that my dogs were having a good time with her. She also left my house clean—I think it was even a bit cleaner than when I left. I would definitely have her watch my pets again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hillsboro

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 196 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hillsboro. 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 Hillsboro 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 Hillsboro 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 Hillsboro 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hillsboro. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

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.
