“Andrea is very professional and clearly has experience with animals. Our cat Zelda was well cared for during our 8 day vacation and although we missed her we knew she was getting some lovins' along with fresh food and water daily. The pictures she shared with us were much appreciated from her visits. We have booked Andrea for the rest of our vacations this year and feel comfort knowing Zelda will have consistent care while we are gone. We've used kennels before but am thinking no more knowing Zelda would prefer being home without the stress of other animals around, different smells and sounds, etc.”
“I was so impressed by Emily’s quick response and thoughtful communication. She was able to accommodate a short notice drop in and sent lots of pictures. I could tell my pup loved spending time with her and she sent a wonderful post-service update. Will definitely be requesting her for house sitting and drop ins in the future. 10/10 recommend.”
“Heather, did a great job caring for my cat. She even brought a laser pointer to engage my cat in play and make her more comfortable. I highly recommend Heather and look forward to hiring her again in the future.”
About: I have over 12 years of personal pet care experience from growing up with and caring for my own pets. As a full-time physical therapy student, I’m highly responsible, detail-oriented, and compassionate. I’ve cared for my own pets for years, including senior animals, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, grooming, and medication routines. My background gives me a special sensitivity to mobility and health needs, making me a calm, attentive sitter who treats pets like family. I’m currently a full time graduate student. As of right now, I am off for the summer and am available during most weekdays and weekends until the beginning of August 2026. I enjoy spending my free time staying active and caring for animals, so pet sitting is a natural and rewarding part of my weekend! I provide care in the client’s home to ensure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions like medications or crate time. I always aim to keep pets happy, safe, and stress free while their owners are away.
“Adara was right on time and gave her full attention to my pups. She was respectful of our property and did all she could to make them comfortable. We also had a good "meet and greet" a few days before her visit with them. All went really well and I'd recommend Adara as a reliable pet sitter. I don't need help often but when I do will call on her again.”
“Our first experience with Eliza and So far all good. We have a dog that needs space with strangers and are reactive. She seems to have the skills and the knowledge to deal with it. Thanks 😊”
“Thanks to Theresa I wasn't concerned about leaving my kitty alone for a couple days. She listened carefully to instructions and was attentive to our cat's needs. She sent me an update and photos of their playtime together, which I greatly appreciated. I will not hesitate to book her again the next time we plan to be away.”
About: I have taken care of senior dogs for a while and tend to give medication and special care + attention. I have helped train puppies to do basic tricks. I have been in two dog attacks so I am aware of dogs boundaries and intentionally watch their behavior. I’m currently a college student who works part time on cam, so I have plenty of time to give your pets all of the love and make sure they get to go out on their walks. I can easily take care of your pet as long as I have instructions! I appreciate there to be a breakdown of your average day or expectation.
About: I grew up surrounded by pets of every kind, mainly cats and dogs. I overall have a decade worth of experience in helping my mom raise her pet cats. I have about one year exprience of dog care from helping my mother-in-law's sweet, senior dog by mainly feeding, grooming, walking, playing games and administer oral medications for him. I have no prior professional pet-care experience, but have animal handling experience from raising them and my recent volunteer position. I am currently volunteering at House Of Dreams Feline shelter located in Northeast Portland. I am an avid animal lover looking to gain more professional hands-on experience in pet sitting, dog walking, and general animal care. Someday, I would love to start my own daycare and boarding business for cats and dogs. I'm only offering Drop-in visits and Dog walking at this time. I'm currently working part-time & volunteer once a week. My availability starts on Saturday, August 1st and then from here on my availability will between Monday-Friday after 3pm. Saturdays and Sundays, I am available all day. 🐕🐈⬛☺️ Whether it's drop-in visits or dog walking, your pet will always be my number one priority. I'm more than happy to adapt to the routine they are most familar with. I respect other peoples' rules with pets and house rules as well as my own. I completely understand that it takes time for most pets to warm up to a new person in their social circle. When your pet is under my care, he/she is my best friend and will be treated like family I have no pets of my own at this time, but highly desire to become a cat and a dog mom after my husband and I get a place of our own. I'm currently staying with my mother-in-law who has a tender-hearted, senior chesador dog. I take him out for walks a couple times a week in my spare time, play fetch, feed and groom him and shower him with love and affection. My mother currently has two adorable twin gray tabby kitttens and a sweet, energetic female hound-border collie mixed puppy. She currently resides with them out in Southeast of Oregon and every time I come out to visit her and her furry children, I can't get enough of their overwhelmingly cute and heartfelt affection.
About: I did off leash packs hikes for a few years with up to 18 dogs, working first hand with a trainer. I have Dog daycare experience. I worked alone with up to 22 dogs with safety being the biggest priority. I am able to ready a dogs body language and act accordingly, along with redirection and distraction. Knowledge with both positive training and E collar training. I respect everyone’s choices with how they train and willing to work with it. My work schedule is not 5 days a week so I have a lot of down time I want to fill with helping dogs get out more and have some fun adventures. Or check in with some loving kitties that are in need of some attention I treat others animals and homes how I would want mine to be treated. I respect boundaries and understand homes are safe spaces and should be treated as such

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Hillsboro
Caitlin was so fabulous with our little Piper. Piper spent the first 18 months of her life in and out of shelters and foster homes so she’s extra skittish. Caitlin was so kind, calm, and gentle and earned Piper’s trust within the first few drop ins. We’re so sad that Caitlin is moving out of the area but we’re grateful for the love and care she gave Piper and know she will be a great match with pets in her new area.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Hillsboro on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,527 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.

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.
