Isabel was an absolute delight! I was a little nervous booking with someone new, but the moment she came over to meet our dogs, I felt completely at ease. She kept us updated throughout our trip and sent plenty of photos. It was clear they were getting lots of love and attention—when we got home, they were relaxed and happy, so I knew they’d been well cared for. She will be my first call the next time I need someone to watch my boys.

About: I have owned a dog since I was born. I’ve watched plenty of my neighbors and friends dogs for them while they were on vacation and I also know how to deal with dogs with anxiety. I have semi trained some dogs and know how to control dogs. I work weekday mornings from 9am–1pm, Tuesday through Friday, so I’m available every afternoon and weekend for pet care, including walks, drop-ins, sitting, and giving your pets plenty of attention and love. For boarding, the dogs would be allowed on furniture and beds and less told otherwise by client we do have a backyard with a partial fence and a good neighborhood to walk the dog around

Ian is so patient with our sometimes stubborn 85 lb goldendoodle, penny! He is great in his communication and you can tell he truly loves animals. We booked Ian for sitting penny in our house and he is very trustworthy. Highly recommend booking Ian for your dog sitting needs!

Isabel was phenomenal with my three month old puppy. She took great care of him, followed my care schedule that I do with him. She did the same thing.My puppy requires a lot of care and constant supervision and she made sure everything was safe and sent me the cutest pics of my puppy throughout the day. I was able to go to work everyday relieved knowing that Isabella was taking care of my puppy!

About: I love being around pets, and I am said by many to be a very kind person. Kindness is my talent, I just love making other people’s days better by being funny or silly. I do not have a lot of experience with dog care, but I would make sure to do my best for you kiddo. I also work as a Portuguese translator, so it is very important that I receive a notice before booking anything, but I am pretty much available every day. Because of the passion that I feel about animals, I never did and would never allow them to be hurt around me. I will always make sure to protect your loved one!

About: With over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, I understand that every animal deserves patience, compassion, attention, and love. I have cared for pets of all ages, breeds, temperaments, and sizes — from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets needing extra gentle care and support. My experience includes administering medications, feeding routines, senior pet assistance, walks, play dates, overnight care, cuddle time, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I’m experienced with big and small breeds alike and truly enjoy building trust and bonds with every furry friend I meet. Whether your pet loves long walks, belly rubs, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience and care in their golden years, I always tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. I treat every pet like family because I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your beloved companion in someone else’s care. My goal is to make your pet feel loved, secure, and stress-free while giving you confidence that they are in caring and reliable hands. Tail wags, happy walks, cuddles, and loving care guaranteed! 🐾 Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine because providing dependable, loving care for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my life. I carefully balance my personal schedule to ensure each pet receives dedicated attention, consistency, patience, and quality care throughout the day. I maintain a structured routine that allows me to stay organized between caring for pets and communicating with pet parents, including scheduled updates, photos, feeding routines, walks, medication administration, playtime, and companionship. I believe it’s important to create a healthy balance that allows me to fully focus on each pet’s individual needs while also keeping owners informed, reassured, and confident that their furry family members are in caring and reliable hands. By maintaining clear communication, time management, and personalized care routines, I’m able to provide a calm, trustworthy, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I provide pet care in both my home and my client’s home, and in either setting my focus is the same — making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. When pets stay with me, they’re in a calm, secure, and welcoming space where they can settle in, stick to their routine, and get plenty of attention and affection. When I go to a client’s home, I respect their space and routines while making sure their pet is well cared for, relaxed, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m reliable, consistent, and attentive, and I always keep pet parents updated so they feel at ease while they’re away. At the end of the day, it’s about trust, consistency, and making sure every pet feels at home no matter where they are.

Ariela is Fantastic - took great care of my dogs! I have a mean 15 yo chihuahua/jerk mix and a delightful 6 yo shih tzu. Both get medicine and it’s nerve wracking finding someone when you are new in town. She was able to dose and feed them everyday, sent me a lot of photos, and checked in repeatedly. Her care and competency allowed me to leave with confidence and to enjoy my trip without worrying. She did great with my challenging dog, which was such a win. Ariela also cleaned up as she left, cleaning stuff and stripping the bed and putting the sheets in the laundry.Thoughtful person - Highly recommend!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, and many other animals since I was a child, and my love for animals has only grown over the years. Family friends and coworkers have consistently trusted me to provide loving, reliable care for their pets as if they were my own. I am currently in school pursuing my veterinary education, and caring for animals is truly my passion. I also have three fur babies of my own - Lily, Luna, and Loki - including one special needs cat, which has given me lots of experience with extra care and attention. I am comfortable administering medications, and I’m happy to accommodate any special requests to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for as if they were mine! I also believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own familiar home and routine, which is why I offer reliable house sitting services designed to keep your pets feeling safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I also take pride in keeping your home clean, secure, and well cared for, giving you peace of mind knowing that both your pets and your home are in good hands. I currently work Tuesday through Friday from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM, but I am fully available before and after those hours. I am also available on weekends and holidays, allowing for flexible scheduling to meet your pet care needs. I promise to care for your babies as if they were my own. I’m happy to accommodate any special requests to make sure they receive the best possible care. I’d also be more than happy to schedule a meet and greet prior to booking so you can feel completely comfortable and confident in choosing me.

We recently had the pleasure of hiring Kaitlyn to take care of our dog and house while we were away, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, Kaitlyn was incredibly professional, attentive, and caring. Before we left, we had a thorough conversation about our dog's routines, dietary requirements, and any special instructions. Kaitlyn has a natural affinity with animals which was evident at that first meet and greet. She also took on the responsibility of looking after our home. We came back to a home that was not only clean and well-maintained but also with all the little details attended to. Kaitlyn exceeded our expectations as a dog and house sitter. Her genuine love for animals combined with her professionalism and attention to detail, make her the ideal choice for anyone in need of pet and house care. We recommend Kaitlyn and will undoubtedly be using her services again is available

Best dogsitter ever! I received so many tips and tricks because I am adjusting to a new life with just me and my dog. Royiesha is patient and kind and absolutely has the best temperament to deal with a sassy and vocal dog like mine. Definitely will be booking again and I feel very comfortable with Royiesha in my space. She checked in several times a day, provided pictures and videos, and it was good to know my dog wasn't alone while I was away.

About: I have had pets my entire life and love animals with my whole heart. I treat mine like they’re my kids and genuinely love having animals around. I’m a college student with a lot of free time and incorporating animals into my routine is natural. I am home 24/7 and love taking care of animals. I can take them on coffee runs, long walks, play tug a war, etc. I prefer to exercise by going on walks so adding a furry friend is perfect. I make sure my pets are fed and played with as well as walked and hydrated. Pets are welcome on my furniture and all around my apartment. I provide ample attention to all my pets to ensure they have the best time and are fully attended to while in my care.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve had pets since I was very young and currently have a dog of my own, so I truly understand the care, attention, and patience pets need every day. I treat every pet like family, pay close attention to their unique personalities, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away 💗 I am a full-time college student with classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which I prioritize during those days. Outside of my class schedule, I have a flexible routine and am available any other days of the week unless otherwise stated. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I’m able to dedicate consistent time and attention to making sure pets are well cared for, comfortable, and on their normal routine. In a client’s home, I care for pets by following their usual routine for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, and any medications. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved by giving them attention, playtime, and companionship based on their personality. I keep their environment clean, including water bowls, litter areas, and any messes. I also respect the client’s home, keep everything tidy, and follow all instructions carefully. I provide updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away.

I would recommend Lucy 1000%. She stayed in our home for 3 days and gave our 2 dogs (and neighborhood cat) so much love and attention. One on our dogs is shy with most people but with Lucy she was affectionate and happy. We came home and realized the AC wasn’t working. Lucy said it broke during her stay but she didnt complain at all!! We felt terrible but she was very understanding. It was my first time using Rover so I was a little anxious but she sent lots of pics and videos to put me at ease. We will definitely be requesting Lucy again (and make sure the AC is working) :)

Outstanding service. So pleasant, patient. We have an 11 yr old Chihuahua that is a rescue and very nervous. She took such great time with him helping to reduce his anxiety through walks and comforting belly rubs. We will hire Isabel again and again. What a joy she is to work with. So glad we found her. We encourage everyone to tip generously for the extra care she provides because she truly cares about YOUR baby. She's sincere in all she does. Thanks you, Isabel.

We couldn't be happier with the care our home and dogs received while we were away for six days. Daniela and Marianna did a phenomenal job, and we returned to a spotless home and two very happy, well-cared-for dogs. One of our dogs is extremely skittish and wary of strangers, and they took the time and care to make sure she felt safe and comfortable throughout our absence. That meant so much to us and really showed how attentive and compassionate they are. It's such a relief to know we can travel with complete peace of mind. We would absolutely hire Daniela and Marianna again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and trustworthy house sitters and pet caregivers.

Deniro was great from start to finish. During our meet and greet, he had a nice, positive energy, and I could tell right away he was a responsible young man. My dog can be a bit of a handful, she’s injured, full of energy, can’t go on walks, and doesn’t like being alone. She also needs daily medication. Deniro managed all of that beautifully. His communication was excellent, and he sent me thoughtful updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind. I never had a single concern while I was away. I highly recommend him and would absolutely have him watch my dog again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hillsboro Pines

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Hillsboro Pines on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,462 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hillsboro Pines. 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 Pines 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 Pines 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 Pines 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 with handling special pet needs in Hillsboro Pines. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
