“Ahnalisa did an amazing job caring for both our dog Belle and our home while we were out of town for 9 days. Every day we got photos of Belle having fun, which let us know she was being well cared for. Our home was well taken care of, and probably looked better than when we left 😁. 10 out of 10 and would highly recommend Ahnalisa!”
“My dogs love Eliza! Eliza is great with my dogs and goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy! It is great to have someone I trust with my dogs on vacation. Highly recommend!”
“Quick and thorough communication before and during her care of my dogs. One of my dogs is a senior dog with special medication requirements and she was wonderful about making sure he got what he needed.”
“Patricia did an amazing job caring for our pets while we were away! We have three cats and one dog, and our dog had to wear a cone for medical reasons during our six-day trip, so we were understandably a little nervous. She stayed at our home and took excellent care of both our pets and the house. Her communication was outstanding - she sent regular photo updates and always let us know if she needed to leave the house, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We were completely comfortable with the pets being alone for up to eight hours, but we really appreciated that she kept us informed anyway. It was clear our pets were happy and well cared for, and we came home to relaxed, happy animals and a clean house. This was our first time booking with her, and we’ll absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since childhood and truly treat every pet like family. Although renting limits the number of pets I can have, it gives me the opportunity to dedicate my time and attention to caring for others’ pets. I’d love to provide loving, dependable care for your furry friend while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom with flexible availability and a love for animals. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including puppies and senior pets. I’m happy to provide check-ins, companionship, and attentive care to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I would love to stay at play with them if they are playful! I am happy to take them on walks and if allowed give extra treats and cuddles!
“I can’t say enough good things about Lilliana and how well she takes care of my pup. This is my second in-house booking with her, and definitely won’t be the last. I received lots of updates and pictures from her, and she followed all of my notes about medications, food, walks, etc. I have an Aussie who is super sweet but also very reactive, and she managed all of his quirks without any problems. She also went above and beyond to leave my house in excellent condition. I would recommend her to any of my friends looking for a pup sitter in a heartbeat (as long as they don’t try to book her when I need her to take care of my pup!). In all seriousness, Lilliana will take great care of your fur babies and I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Another great time working with Allyssa! After a long trip out of state, we came home to our house exactly as we left it, and our cats happily cared for. It is such a relief getting cute pictures of the cats while we travel and knowing that they are in good hands. Thank you for all the love and attention you give our boys, Allyssa.”
“Adam is an incredible sitter. He took fantastic care of our puppy, and we felt very confident that our boy was safe with him. He worked very hard to match our established routine, and we are so thankful to have met him. Thank you!”
“Emily is hands down the best sitter we've ever found! She is extremely communicative, sending lovely messages and beautiful photos and videos of our pup. Our dog can be nervous around new people, but with Emily it seems like they've know each other forever and bonded very quickly. She has gone above and beyond just watching our dog - walks, fetch, training on skills, all the snuggles - it is wonderful to know our dog was receiving everything she needs and more! We will absolutely be asking Emily to sit in the future and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone else!!”
About: As a pet parent myself, I know exactly what it feels like to walk out the front door and feel that instant wave of worry; leaving your furry family members requires an immense amount of trust, and my top priority is making sure you feel completely secure, updated, and at ease while you’re away. I bring extensive, hands-on experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and cats of all personalities—whether that means managing a young puppy's strict potty-training schedule, giving a senior dog a gentle afternoon stroll, or respecting a cautious cat’s boundaries. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own, and I am committed to following your exact routine while providing detailed updates and plenty of photo check-ins so you never have to guess how they are doing.🦮💜🐾 Pet care is my top priority, and I structure my daily and weekly life entirely around my work. Because I plan my personal schedule to fit the needs of my clients, I have an incredibly open, flexible schedule. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or evening care, I am fully available to ensure they get consistent attention and love exactly when they need it. When caring for pets, safety and comfort are my absolute top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly home with my own dogs, so I am deeply familiar with managing multiple animal dynamics and maintaining a secure, supervised environment—including the ability to keep my dogs completely separated from yours whenever needed. Whether hosting pets in my home or providing drop-in care and walks at yours, I strictly follow all specific care instructions, double-check that doors and gates are fully secure, and always keep dogs securely leashed during outings. My goal is to maintain your pet's exact routine so they feel completely safe, relaxed, and loved.
“Excellent Pet Care!! We are lucky to have found Allyson. She was stellar and we will be hiring her as much as possible. She was very easy to communicate with, and our two dogs loved her. She went above and beyond as we came home later than originally stated. Huge asset to find her! Highest Recommendation!”
“Remus was wonderful! Very patient with my anxiety at handoff lol. Remus took extra care with both our dogs, including my little one’s daily oral medication. We received pictures throughout the stay and regular check ins at mealtime. We returned to a clean space. We will definitely work with Remus again!”
“Donita was amazing! She came earlier to get to know our dog, coordinated with our other pet sitter, was available for the holiday, and sent me fantastic photos. She definitely helped us out in a chaotic time when we transition between two different people. A real self starter! Our also dog looked so happy every time we saw the photos. Can’t wait to have Donita back again!”
About: I have been responsible for dogs ever since I was 10. I have raised four different dogs from when they were puppies to elderly. I can speak their language and an act as an expert dog body language interpreter. I am gentle enough to handle small dogs and strong enough to handle 100+ lbs ones, as well. I recently took early retirement and have flexibility to take care of your pets, whenever needed, on walks, play dates, or overnight stays at my house with my dog. I love dogs! I grew up with Old English Sheepdogs and have had two as an adult. I'm a believer in routine and consistency. My own dog, who is 8 years old, is our fur baby and gets walked 3 times a day, rain or shine. I love being outside getting exercise with him, and keeping him socialized with other dogs and people. We spend lots of time playing and snuggling.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Hillsboro is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hillsboro
FANTASTIC! We were so impressed with the care Emily provided for our pets for a short house-sitting weekend. She provided us with frequent updates and went above our expectations, showing amazing care and quality of service we had not experienced. We are hoping that she will be available for future opportunities for our critters. Thank you so much Emily!!!
Remus was wonderful! Very patient with my anxiety at handoff lol. Remus took extra care with both our dogs, including my little one’s daily oral medication. We received pictures throughout the stay and regular check ins at mealtime. We returned to a clean space. We will definitely work with Remus again!
Petra was able to give our boy Dillon the walks he needed even in awful weather conditions! It was nice to have someone be able to keep up our daily walks and stay with him over night while we were away. Petra left our home clean when we arrived home as well.
Allison and Lorena took such great care of our pets and house while we were away! It's so nice to be able to go on vacation and truly relax knowing that your pets are well taken care of. We loved getting the daily updates with how everyone was doing. I was so impressed that even our most shy cat, that I was sure they wouldn't see while they were here, made an appearance! They were willing to provide medication management for our other cat, which was a huge relief while we were away. Our dog was so happy in all the update photos while out on her walks! I'm pretty sure the house is cleaner than how we left it!
Nolan was wonderful with our 3 dogs! I know that they can be a bit overwhelming and they have a lot of instructions but he was great! He was really good with communication while we were gone allowing us peace of mind and our babies to be comfortable in their familiar surroundings! Thank you Nolan!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hillsboro
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hillsboro on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,575 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.

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.
