“Emily was very caring and try her best to be flexible for my last min request. She is very responsible when it comes to care my cat while I’m gone and share with me of my cats behavior to avoid any possible issues. I appreciate her to above and beyond as I love my cat. Will definitely look for Emily to care my cat again and highly recommended! :)”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals at our farms and my dad's veterinarian practice. I have always had cats and dogs and sometimes a turtle. I have dog walked for others, off and on, for 20 years. I am currently between positions as a professional educator and am looking to fill my time and make some extra money. I am usually available all days. We have a fenced yard and 2 50 pound rescue mutts and 2 rescue cats. I only walk dogs on fixed leashes and inspect your home and clean up any potential accidents.
“Ollie took great care of our 2 kitties, having great playtime and taking cute photos. He consistently cleaned their spaces and litter, allowing my partner and I to be stress-free during our travel! Thanks so much!”
“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.”
About: I’ve been in the doggy daycare environment since August 2021, and dog walking since April 2023, I believe every dog should be treated with love and respect just like humans, I have 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own :) I’m currently in college on Tuesday nights and will probably be working on some homework but i can always make time to help take care of your pups :) I do like building a trust bound with your pet just so they feel safe with me, I do like to do evaluations test with your pet to see how comfortable they feel with me.
“Isabel is a wonderful pet sitter! My cat can be pretty anxious and a little scared to new people but Isabel was able to win him over quickly! She provided lots of photos and updates and it was very reassuring knowing everything was going well. I cannot recommend Isabel enough!”
About: I’m excited to meet you and your pets! I’m experienced with every animal. I can assist you with training and learning your pets language with half the cost of personal trainers. I believe that our pets are family, I will take care of yours like my own. I understand nutritional, medical, and behavior traits in animals, especially dogs! I will greet you, note some basic day-to-day agenda for your animal and you can take care of what you need to. I provide a wide amount of services, including basic grooming and check-ups. Let me know what your pet needs and I’ll see if I can accommodate! Huge backyard and plenty of toys in my home. My dog loves to play with others and nothing wears doggos out more than another dog! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility and availability for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for boarding, walks, drop-ins, and plenty of playtime and attention. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog who love having company. I’ll provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your pet while following their normal routine and any special instructions.
“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!”
About: Hello! My name is Allison, and I have decades of experience caring for animals of all kinds, including dogs, puppies, birds, hamsters, and farm animals. I grew up in a family that owned multiple pet stores, which gave me hands-on experience with animal care from a young age. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands with me and will get plenty of attention, care, and cuddles! 🤎 I’m currently available full-time, including weekdays and weekends 😊 I’m home most of the day, so pets will get plenty of attention, supervision, and time to play or relax. I’m happy to crate dogs if that’s part of their routine, but otherwise they’re welcome to roam the house and enjoy time in the backyard. I’m flexible and always try to follow each pet’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable and at home! 🐾 I have a fully fenced in large backyard that your pet can explore! My house has plenty of space for your pet to stretch out and make themselves feel at home. I also live near a large dog park!
About: I've pet sit cats, dogs, chickens, guinea pigs, and lizards for the past few years and have taken care of my own my whole life! Most of my experience is with German shepards and pitbull mixes when it comes to dogs, but I've had my fair share of little dogs including chihuahuas, dachshunds, and Boston terriers. I'm a college student currently on summer break and available to spend time with your companions after 9 am during the week, and am open to discussing weekend times! I want to learn about what works best for your pets and any special rituals they may have! I've worked with dogs that were crated at night, ones that were needed to be walked to use the bathroom, and ones with a fenced in backyard that they were free to roam! My top priority is making your pets feel comfortable!
About: My own dog recently passed away at the age of 20, so I am an expert in care for Senior Pets and Special Needs (blindness, deafness, etc), and a calm and patient sitter for anxious dogs. I am very experienced with medication and specialized diets. Your pet will have a wonderful time in my care! I run my own businesses and am very flexible at the current time to care for your pets! I can even bring my work with me on occasion if needed. I am very respectful of your space and often take dogs out to the park or somewhere outdoors to play if there is no yard. Your animals will get plenty of playtime and love, and I value staying in close communication should any issues arise!
About: I’ve been raising animals since I was a child and have continued throughout life. Golden retriever and German Sheppard was my first two dogs. Have raised and taken care of all types of dogs big and small. All with different personalities and needs whether it be meds or to not be around other animals at all. Absolutely love our fur animals and they will be treated just as I treat mine. I’m current available most weekdays and weekends with an hour or two of dr appointments and then can be right back to your furry family member. I can do overnights and extended stays if you want a vacation but your animal to enjoy staying in their home. I care for your pets as if they are my own. Very safe and have great situational awareness. Even with a fenced in yard I still go out with the dogs to play, pick up poop, and to make sure they don’t escape.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hillsboro
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hillsboro is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 6,651 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hillsboro. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hillsboro. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
