“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.”
“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 have 8 years of experience as a professional dog trainer, with additional hands-on background in dog boarding. That experience has given me the ability to work with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments, create structured routines, and calmly handle behavioral issues. I now bring those skills to dog walking, house sitting, and pet sitting—providing confident, consistent care for puppies, seniors, and every dog in between. Pet care is a flexible and integral part of my routine. My part-time job allows me to prioritize the care and attention pets need. I schedule my days around walking, feeding, and ensuring pets are happy and comfortable, regardless of my other commitments. I provide attentive and reliable care in my clients’ homes, ensuring pets are comfortable in their familiar environment. For dog walking, I focus on safe, enjoyable outings tailored to each dog’s needs. When pet sitting or feeding, I follow the owner’s instructions closely, providing companionship, and playtime, and maintaining feeding schedules to keep pets happy and stress-free.
“Can’t say enough good things about Marissa! We had a few changes to our booking prior to her stay that she remained flexible on and was very communicative during our trip sending lots of pictures of our furbaby! The house was spotless when we got home and our baby was a very happy girl. I would definitely recommend and use Marissa again in the future, thanks for everything!”
About: I'm an passionate and excitable person who would love to care for your pet(s), huge or teeny! I'm very experienced working all sorts of animals, all with different needs and circumstances, as I have been volunteering at animal shelters for around 7 years and dog-sitting for 4! I am a CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) member as well, so if any situation were to arise, I am trained to handle them throughly. Please feel free to send me any information or questions before deciding on if I am the right match for you and your baby. There's no such thing as something being "too much" either, especially when it comes to something as important as your loved ones :) Pet care is my only job as I work on getting my AA degree! Immediately after my classes, I will be free. Please, feel free to reach out to schedule care on Tues/Thurs. My detailed schedule availability: Mondays & Wednesdays- All day availability! Tuesdays & Thursdays- classes from 8am- 6pm Friday-Sunday- all day availability! I am very accustomed to when animals needing extra special care, so there's nothing that could shock me! I love taking walks/playing, so you can rest easy knowing that your baby will be engaged and taken out if allowed. I just hate to see such sweet faces bored! I am a stickler for rules, so whatever is the norm for them will be a new norm for me. I clean throughly and will leave your home as clean as it was when I got there.
“Professionalism at its best. Loving and caring. Hellen O watched my partner for 2 days and went above and beyond any expectations I had. Extremely dedicated to the animals in our lives.”
“Samantha was absolutely exceptional. She showed up right on time and immediately put me at ease with how natural and confident she was with Lucky. He’s a large dog and not always the easiest to handle, but she managed him with such calm presence and ease — it was honestly impressive to watch. What stood out most was how quickly Lucky connected with her. He genuinely loved spending time with Samantha, which says everything. You can feel when someone truly cares, and she does. We’re so grateful we found her and will absolutely be coming back again and again. I fully trust her and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and truly great with animals.”
“Laura was amazing! Very professional and warm from the very beginning. Also very attentive and communicative throughout the process So grateful that we get to have her watch her animals. Looking forward to the next sit. 😊”
“Amber has taken care of Peanut and Noel before .Shes great .I feel confident when I go on a short or long trip that that they will be in the best hands. She is very punctual and my house is always in perfect order and I can tell that both my pets really like her. They are happy when I come home 😍”
About: Hello! I have been taking care of animals for a little over 3 years now and love it! I get to meet all types of animals and their personalitites and wouldnt trade it for anything. I am a college student but can work with any schedule. I would be delighted to watch your furry friends! I have open availability most of my day, the only time slot I wont be able to visit is from 9:30-1:30 because of highschool. Other than that my full attention is on your furry friend! I always keep an eye on whatever pets I am watching no matter what to make sure they are safe. I care for other animals as if they were my own.
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. Friends regularly leave their dogs and cats with me for boarding or ask me to stop by for feeding and walks. I also have experience caring for small-breed puppies. Your pet will be safe, loved, and well cared for with me. I am always at home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention. I can comfortably provide temporary boarding, visit your home for feeding, or take your pets out for regular walks. I live in a quiet area with very little traffic and a backyard without a fence, providing plenty of space for dogs to walk and play. I have a small, friendly dog who gets along well with others, and a cat who is rarely indoors and spends most of his time outside.
About: Experience- I have hands on experience with both cats & dogs, including delivering puppies & rehabilitating a newborn puppy with a birth defect who required around the clock care. I’ve also worked as a pet bather at a pet salon & volunteered at UFAR Animal Rescue where I helped transport, walk, feed & care for both cats & dogs. I’m currently working toward becoming a pet groomer. Cat Care- I have 2 cats of my own & understand feline behavior, stress signals & the importance of moving at their pace to help them feel safe while you’re away. Dog Care- I’ve had dogs for most of my life & understand that every dog has different needs. I provide attentive, structured care including walks, potty breaks & playtime. Schedule- I’m able to provide flexible scheduling & offer reliable, consistent care. I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine whenever possible. During Drop In Visits- I care for pets in their own home to help keep them comfortable & reduce stress. I follow instructions closely, maintain cleanliness & always respect your home. I’m also able to administer medication & can clip nails when appropriate, depending on your pet’s comfort level. I send regular updates, photos & videos so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. House Sitting- For house sittings, I’ll stay in your home & only leave for the maximum amount of time we’ve agreed upon. I’ll provide as many walks, potty breaks & playtime as your pet needs. If you don’t require an overnight stay, I offer discounted rates depending on your pet’s care needs.
About: At 19, I adopted my first puppy, Sophie. She was a Shepherd Mix with deceptively small paws and a calm demeanor. Time would later reveal her to be very hyperactive, loud and 100+ lbs of pure loyalty and love. Unfortunately, she also suffered from seizures at an early age and the medication was not easy on her body. Suffice to say that I adopted a lot more that day, and I would never change a thing. We learned and grew so much with each other in her short 12 years. I believe my experience owning, loving, and caring for Sophie translates seamlessly into my ability to take care of your furry family members. My current schedule is relatively open and allows for availability when I (or your pet) needs it. My weekday schedule is very flexible and allows for change accordingly. I’m also available weekends and holidays. I live on the first floor of my very dog friendly apartment building. The unit is about 1000 sq. ft. and sits above a utility room - so it can definitely accommodate your pet’s post-dinner zoomies. I don’t have a closed in yard but I live near a park that has a path so most dogs enjoy walks there. Additionally, I have a large, metal crate available if needed.
“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!”
About: I’ve had a a toy poodle my whole life who is literally my best friend we do everything together take car rides. She is back home with my parents due to old age. However she has 3 years of college experience under her belt. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care for pets. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I can work around my other commitments. I’m dependable, active, and comfortable adjusting my schedule to meet each pet’s individual needs. I’m especially happy to provide regular updates, exercise, playtime, and plenty of companionship while you’re away. In a client’s home, I respect their instructions and maintain the pet’s normal schedule, including feeding, walks, medication, bathroom breaks, and companionship\. I also keep the home tidy, provide regular updates and photos, and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hillsboro Pines
We have now used Daniela and Mariana twice for house and dog sitting services, and we could not be more pleased. They truly go above and beyond! We have two dogs—one who is very easygoing, and another who is incredibly shy and afraid of everything, including new people. Remarkably, they have managed to gain the trust of our anxious Chow Chow, Nala. Their patience and skill are truly impressive. We will definitely use their services again in the future and highly recommend them!
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.
Ian stayed at my house for two weeks. He took good care of my little Rosie and my house. He is very flexible and a very good choice for a reliable person to stay in your home. His work schedule allows him to work from home so he was with Rosie most of the time.
As a pet owner of dog two dogs I would never really go on vacation because I was always worried about who would love and care for my babies like do, and then we found Neusa, a true blessing for our family. Neusa, is kind , loving , honest and takes amazing care of our dogs. I can honestly say I leave without having any stress or anxiety she picks up where I left off and her communication with us while we are away is great and sends great pictures as well. We are very grateful ☺️
Can’t say enough good things about Marissa! We had a few changes to our booking prior to her stay that she remained flexible on and was very communicative during our trip sending lots of pictures of our furbaby! The house was spotless when we got home and our baby was a very happy girl. I would definitely recommend and use Marissa again in the future, thanks for everything!
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 4,448 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
