About: My name is Luke, I am a CATCH Canine Trainer Academy certified dog trainer. I use positive reinforcement to encourage and maintain behaviors. I have always had a passion for working with dogs but after losing one of my rescues to cancer only 2 months after saving her my passion grew. This had inspired me to help owners and their dogs learn and grow together. I am a Co owner of a food truck which we are only operating part time. On the opposite days I have open availability to help support you and your current fur baby. I am unable to offer boarding for animals at this time. I am certified in pet cpr and first aid through ProPetHero by Pro Trainings
“What a great sitter!! This was our first time using Rover and generally have relied on family/friends to watch our 3 boys! Since moving to new state we dont know many and based upon reviews we gave Rover a shot! Mike was welcoming and we instantly knew our boys would be fine. Very personable and easy going, Mike took to our 3 boys like they were his own. Would highly recommend him!! In fact we have already booked him for more future dog sitting.”
About: For the past year, I have spent every Wednesday night volunteering at my local dog rescue. I feed, clean, administer medication, and play with the rescued dogs. We have two senior dogs that need extra care, and we also take care of dogs that have been injured or are sick. I have almost two years of experience volunteering at the local cat rescue as well, and I'm known to be an animal whisperer. I have three cats of my own, and know that pets truly are family members. Normally I go in the evenings to the dog rescue around 5 o'clock to feed the animals before going home. It has become a weekly ritual for me outside of taking care of my own cats. I won't be able to keep client's pets at my own house, since my cats are very possessive. I am available for check ins or overnight stays.

“Campbell, was right on time and he was wonderful. We could not have ever asked for anyone better for out Louie. Campbell left us worry free to attend the wedding. We would recommend him for anyone that needs a sitter. We would love to give him more stars than we had to give”
About: I have been a veterinary technician for 3 years, and have experience working with and caring for dogs, cats, birds, fish, and rodents of all ages (a few days old-senior ages) for 10+ years. I currently work full-time at a veterinary clinic, but normally have 2-3 days off and often have scheduled half days where I am able to tend to my own pets as well as other people’s pets. I have a large yard and love walking, so your baby will get plenty of exercise. I also have cats and a dog, all of which are very friendly and well socialized, to keep your babies entertained and keep them company.
About: I have five cats and a dog currently and am always looking to play or help take care of a furry friend. I have previously worked in a daycare as well which helped me get a lot of experience in caretaking. I am not a permanent employee anywhere and have a flexible schedule so i’m able to work my plans around the needs of any pet. All work is either online or gig based so I am always available! I have the energy to keep up with hyper dogs but i also love the lazy dogs/ cats who just want me to pet them and hang out around them. whether your pet needs a workout or a nap session, i can keep up with it!
“Hannah aka Mikki house sat for us and watched our mini dachshund. We did a meet and greet a few days prior to our trip (which we booked with her on short notice) and she was so great with Banjo, even totally unphased by his typical dachshund barking. She seems to truly love her job and love animals. She checked in while we were out of town and sent pictures. This was hands down the best experience we’ve ever had with a Rover sitter and we will absolutely be booking her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets from rabbits to dogs for several years. I understand that you know your pet best so I look forward to taking on the various tasks that your pet needs to continue to feel like you are the one taking care of them! My husband and I are run a commercial real estate company remotely. This puts us in the position to be flexible while pet and home sitting. We are active walkers and will gladly take your pet/s on a walk. I am attentive to their needs and I am able to follow special instructions. I love to take the customized approach since you know your pet best!
“Coty was responsible and took very good care of my 2 dogs. Fed them on schedule and let them out alot. They obviously liked him and were comfortable with him. Coty sent me pictures and updates all the time. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing my doggies were taken care of. Definitely recommend!”

About: I am friends and families go to dog sitter for when there is vacations, or someone is busy. I have been doing this for family and friends for a couple of years now im currently college student and would love to watch over your fur babies! with me being in school and work i’m normally pretty flexible with my schedule as all my classes are early in the morning! I have a huge fence around my yard and two adorable fur babies if yours are needing some company. I will be able to watch over your dog at all times if needed.
About: I’ve always loved animals! And all my life I’ve always done something with them. Whether it be in boarding and daycare facilities-grooming-mobile grooming-volunteering at shelters all of it! I do have a job! But i always find times to care for those who trust me enough to give it. I’ve been doing this for many years so finding a just right schedule has been easier to manage! I personally like to schedule meet and greets before any overnight stay,dog walking,check ins ! Bevause that levels a ground of calmness and knowledge for the pet rather then showing up out of the blue. I always follow strict feeding protocols and make sure to communicate with the owners about how they expect things to be done for there furry friends.
“Our giant doofus of a dog loved her. She took care of not only the dog and cat but also two dramatic pigs and two stubborn goats. When we had last-minute scheduling hiccups she was flexible and understanding. We're grateful we found her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats of every kind for 10+ years. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, play with and bathe their pets. I have experience in medicine giving, grooming and other special needs. Open availability Monday to Sunday. I’m currently looking to walk and do drop ins. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m always moving around and staying in tune with their needs. It’s just part of the rhythm of my day, and I truly enjoy the responsibility and connection that comes with caring for them. When it comes to caring for pets, I focus on making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well-loved, just like I do with my own animals. I tailor my care based on the needs of each pet, whether that means sticking to a specific feeding routine, giving them time to play and exercise, or simply being a calm, reassuring presence. Whether it’s in my home or a client’s, I treat every animal like family!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hillsboro
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hillsboro on Rover is $29.97 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 73 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
