“Brittany was fantastic and went above and beyond! We were away for 3 weeks, which is the longest we’ve left our kitty, but we felt completely comfortable and at ease. She was even sweet enough to acknowledge my daughter’s big accomplishment with a gift. I won’t hesitate to book her again in the future!”

“This was our 2nd time booking with Barb. She adapted well and adjusted her approach with our senior kitty who is on medications, as he had some challenges during the first few visits. She was patient with him and utilized her knowledge and expertise to administer his medications. Our other two babies enjoyed the visits. All three loved all the treats and lovins.”

About: I’ve grown up around big and small dogs all my life. I have also been dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors and love to take my German shepherd on runs. I live at home right now and am taking one class online and work-part time so I will have lots of time to play with your pets and snuggle them. I make sure the animal will stay within boundaries if they have to stay in a fence and will make sure that they get all meds needed or food on time.

About: I work well with all animals. I have trained Pomeranians, Rottweilers, and everything between usong positive reinforcement. I understand they have different needs and none are the same. I listen to your animal. I have cats, a dog, and a bearded dragon. Big dogs don't scare me. Tiny dogs don't either. Cats are to be respected and reptiles are fun. Routines are important to all animals. I work 6:30 am to 3:30 pm daily but am happy to do morning or evening check ins walks or clean ups. My dog loves evening walks. Safety is number one priority and pets will be kept on a leash and with me when outdoors. They are like toddlers and need consistent supervision.

“Peace of mind. Our pooch was in very good hands. Maybe too good. Arriving home Storm acted indifferent to our home coming. She was excited to see us but not like if she was in a kennel for 10 days. Very good job.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 16, and my lifelong love for animals ensures every furry friend receives dependable, affectionate, and joyful attention! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine, as I prioritize walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, making animals a constant part of my everyday life! I work Monday - Thursday from 8am-6pm so weekends and nights are my open availability 🙃 Caring for pets is all about love and balance. I start the day with fun walks and play, followed by nourishing meals and plenty of cuddles. Between bursts of energy, I make sure there’s calm, cozy downtime so they feel safe, happy, and loved—just like they’re part of my family.

About: I have had pets all my life. Cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, hampsters.. the list goes on. I was in Human healthcare and found its not much different. I can help with your pet care needs. My work schedule can be flexible so I can adjust it to fit most pet needs so you can plan that vacation free from worry. I have a fenced in area and a designated space in my house I call the “pet room” . My house resembles someone who has a 2 yr old but instead of kid toys and beds it’s dog and cat toys.

About: We feel blessed to serve your pet! My teenage daughter and I are a team and have taken care of many different types of dogs and cats (even cows and sheep). We love animals! Our neighbors, friends and family rely on us to drop in on their pets to feed, play and love on them while they are away. We appreciate your business and look forward to meeting your furry family member. ♥️ I work Monday through Friday during the day but am available for early mornings drop-ins and anytime after 3pm during the work week for a drop-in and play. Full flexibility on the weekends. I have experience with giving medication and injections. Our dog requires daily (am and pm doses) apoquel tablets and weekly allergy shots so we are familiar with allergies and giving injections as well. Whether you’re working late or out of town, we can stop by and give your pet some love and care. We will be happy to adapt to your routine and drop-in as requested for feedings, treats, medication, belly rubs and play. We can send you pictures, videos and updates as often as desired.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Hillsboro

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 789 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hillsboro. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
