“We have never left our dogs alone and they seemed to be extremely stressed based on the mess that they left. Estrella did an amazing job caring for them and cleaning up. She exceeded my expectations and did an amazing job!”
“Cypress was great with our cat! She checked on everything during the visit and sent us photos and updates which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our cat seemed comfortable with her and we really appreciated how reliable she was. We would definitely book with Cypress again!”
“Harlee enjoyed her stay with Elena. She was happy and relaxed in Elena’s loving home. A perfect place for Harlee. We will definitely leave Harlee in Elena’s care again in the future.”
About: I have been a pet sitter for cats and dogs -- My friends tend to rely on me to take care of their furry friends while they are away! I have more experience in working with medium and smaller dogs/ cats. If you will hire me to be a sitter, I will not stay at your house, but I will make sure your furry friend is doing great! I am currently a full-time worker at a physical therapy clinic, but my evenings are free to give your pup a good walk so they can sleep through the night! If they are not looking for a long walk, I am great company and enjoy caring for your furry friend. I have guinea pigs at home, and although I am busy during the day, I find time to take care of them and make sure their enclosure is clean and livable. -- When caring for my friends' furry pets, I make sure that they are receiving what they need when I am there, leaving them as comfortable as possible, and updating my clients on what I did and how their furry friend is doing. Communication is key to my work.
About: I've had dogs and cats almost my entire life, and caring for animals has always come natural to me and has been a part of my day-to-day for many years. I raised my cat, Winnie, for 20 years, and I currently have 2 pups of my own: a 13-year-old female Alaskan Klee Kai/Corgi mix and 3-year-old male Corgi, so I am familiar with senior dogs and high-energy younger pups. I am currently between work and trying to stay busy and earn some income while my son is at school. I am available after school drop-off from 8:30/9 am until 3:15 pm. If your pets are comfortable with younger children, I can do drop-ins and walks after my son is out of school and on weekends, but that can be discussed privately. I create a calm environment where your pets will feel safe. With my own senior pup and younger corgi at home, I am used to balancing different needs and energies. I will follow your directions and routines closely and watch your pets' body language to keep everyone happy and safe.
About: I’ve had pets since I was born. I can care for cats and dogs. I personally have a 110 lb dog, so giant dogs don’t bother me. I’ve spent two weeks house sitting for family friends before to care for there couple labs. I’m currently in college part time with online classes, I have tons of flexibility with my time. I can wake up early to walk your pets, since how hot it has been lately. I have a 110 lb Pitt-bull mastiff mix that I walk daily, and care since she is my fur baby. I understand how people will react to big dogs on walks and I have the ability to control a big dog is startled or provoked.
“Bri did wonderful as always! She has great communication, always shows up on time, has a can-do attitude, and is very trustworthy. She made me a wonderful loaf of bread last time - it was delicious. Thank you so much Bri!”
“Olivander took excellent care of our two dogs when we were at work. The dogs were able to play outside, then chill inside and get some lovins. We will use Olivander again and would not hesitate to recommend him!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities! I have a 3-year-old Australian Shepherd, so I know firsthand what it takes to care for a high-energy, crazy dog of my own! I’ve worked through training challenges and reactivity after he experienced a traumatic event as a puppy. Because of that, I have a lot of patience and empathy, especially with pups who need a little extra attention or structure. I also have two sweet cats at home and grew up around animals my whole life, so I’m totally comfortable with multi-pet households. Friends and family often trust me to care for their pets when they’re away, and I always make sure to stick to routines and give pets the love and attention they need while their humans are gone. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog who needs a gentler pace, or a cat who likes their own space, I’ve got you covered! Pet care fits naturally into my daily life, I already spend a lot of time walking, playing with, and caring for my own Aussie, so I love adding more furry friends to the mix! I’m off on weekends, work from home on Tuesdays, and my weekday schedule is generally flexible. I’m typically at work from 9–5, but if that’s too long for your pet to be alone, just let me know! I’m more than happy to flex my schedule when I can to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. I’m more than happy to follow any instructions you provide, down to the smallest detail, so your pets can stick to the routines they know and love. Whether it’s special feeding, medications, or just the way they like to be tucked in at night, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and cared for. In your home, I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect I would my own. I want both you and your pet to feel at ease, knowing they’re in loving hands. I’ll keep you updated along the way so you never have to wonder how things are going, just a little extra peace of mind while you're away.
“Angyl has been so amazing with our dogs! We felt safe knowing our dogs were in good hands while we were out of town. She even made sure our turtles had everything they needed. She’s great!!”
“Natalie is such an amazing sitter! We had to find a new sitter and she is wonderful. She cleaned up some messes one of our older cats made, ensured that their waters were clean, and loved on my cats. Keeping her info for the future!!”
“Ahnalisa is one of the best pet sitters I have ever hired. She did way more than I requested of her as far as caring for our pets, house and plants. My one cat is elderly, needs a pill twice a day, and is a picky eater. Zumbie has to have a different food every time he is fed. Ahnalisa even organized his food cans by flavor! My other cat stays in the utility room (sprays). He needs lots of play, brushing and petting. Jitters and Zumbie both were happy and healthy. They got lots of time with Ahnalisa and her son! The house was neater than when we left. She also cared for two llamas, watered our plants, got the mail and piled it neatly and took the garbage can down and back up our long driveway for garbage pickup. I would recommend Ahnalisa to anyone looking for a conscientious and caring sitter!”
“Misty was great! I had a last minute need for pet care and luckily she was available to help me out. My dogs seem very happy and I didn't have to worry while I was gone. She showed up timely and spent quality time with my pets.”
“Talon was a thorough pet sitter. She was detailed in ensuring the hygiene, activity, food/drink, and med needs of eat dog and cat. In addition to other additional pet care instructions, she kept me updated of the pets’ health status and that their needs were being met. She asked questions when she didn’t know something clearly and ensured my home was safe and secure. Thank you for the Meet and Greet and for the excellent care!”
About: I don't have a dog right now so I’m currently living my best 'cool aunt' life for your dog! I have an unlimited supply of belly rubs and long walks, just waiting for your pup!" Looking for a reliable daytime companion for your furry friend? I’m a stay-at-home mum with plenty of time to give your dog the love and attention they deserve! From energetic walks to fun play sessions and regular feeding, your pup is in safe, caring hands. I have a fenced garden and several local parks for lovely walks and daily play! I will crate train for sleep and have a safe indoor sleeping area for boarding.
“Isaac is awesome! We have 3 dogs, 2 very large Cane Corsos and a pitbull mix. Our male Corso is the challenge, his trust has to be earned before he relaxes. He is actually our most loving dog, but not to strangers. He’s a guard dog no question. Issac is working with him, earning his trust and is not intimidated by him. ( thank goodness 🙏). We have FINALLY found someone! I highly recommend Isaac.”

I highly recommend Emily. She took EXCELLENT care of my dog! He is blind and takes a couple daily medications and she was great with him, making sure he received his medicine and food on time. She gave him plenty of exercise, lots of play time, and most importantly, attention and love. She also sent lots of photos, which helped me feel confident that he was happy and taken care of while I was away. Emily even went above and beyond by providing extra visits when our flights home were delayed. It’s clear that Emily loves animals and wants them to have the best possible care. <3
Becky is very sweet and reliable. She was able to meet my dogs and quickly built rapport with my very shy little pup. It was only one week later and my shy baby was giving her kisses and not barking when she came to care for her. Becky sends me photos from the visit and regularly checks in. I appreciate her help with my grandma dog and the extra love and care she needs. Becky has been great and I am very thankful for her help!

- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;

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!

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 Meet & Greet .
