I highly recommend Yujia! She’s been taking care of my dog for the past 4 weeks and has been great. She feeds her, takes her to the park, and always sends me pictures and updates. My dog seems very happy and comfortable with her. I’m really glad I found her!

Samantha was so so great with our dog! Our husky can be a diva and she was so patient and communicative with us while we were away. It was so great knowing that our dog was so excited to see her every time she checked in.

We had a wonderful experience with Blessy and are more than happy to recommend her! She is incredibly knowledgeable about all things cat-related, and we felt completely at ease leaving our cats, Alex and Lulu, in her care. Blessy is communicative, reliable, and kept us updated with photos and videos throughout our trip, which gave us great peace of mind. She was also very flexible and accommodating, especially when our plans changed and we needed to add extra visits and adjust the dates and times. Most importantly, she took excellent care of our kitties, and it was clear they were happy and well looked after. She even taught one of cats to spin around for his treat!

About: I grew up on a farm in Colombia, where I was surrounded by animals from a very young age. Caring for dogs, cats, and other animals has always been a natural part of my life. I am attentive, patient, responsible, and affectionate with pets, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I can provide feeding, playtime, walks, companionship, and basic care according to each pet’s needs. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treating them like family. I am available to care for pets in the mornings from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the owner’s home. I can also take dogs for walks, provide companionship, feed them, and make sure they are comfortable and well cared for during my visit. I am reliable, responsible, and enjoy spending time with animals. I always prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, ensure pets have fresh water, food, and exercise, and keep them in a safe environment. During walks, I use secure leashes and pay close attention to their needs and behavior.

Gina was great with my cat who warmed up really quickly to her. She is very friendly and has the patience to allow pets to get familiar with her. She made sure my cat was getting the care and playtime needed during the 4 days we were out of state. I highly recommend booking with her to watch your pets.

About: I've cared for my own 2 cats since 2018 when they were kittens. Now an expert in convincing and bribing cats to love me (while sometimes shoving meds down their throat). An excellent poop scooper! I work from home in Burlingame (Hanover Burlingame, if you are a neighbor, hi!). Weekdays are wide open for me to care for your pet child. Check calendar or with me for weekend availabilities :D For drop-in visits, I first take off my shoes (always!). I strive to keep your home, your child's food & litter setup as mess free as possible

About: Pets are humanizing. They remind us of our obligation and responsibility to preserve and care for all life - James Cromwell As a child I spent summers on a farm and have always been connected to nature & animals. My first pet was a chicken at 7yrs old and had cats my whole life, even throughout college! My first dog was a female Shelted Sheepdogs (sheltie) then we got her a brother a year later. What fun sweet memories and joy having them growing up. Humans can learn a lot from our pets, their unconditional love & playfulness. Caring for animals is a privilege. Similar to raising children (I have two teens) and requires lots of awareness, love, patience, attention to detail, and kindness. Safety is always priority number one I work an office job from 8a-5p during the week and am available for pet care after hours, early mornings, and on the weekends. If a client is near my office or home I’m able to visit sooner. I live in a nice neighborhood near a great park and walking trails. My home is safe, organized, clean with fenced yard and two pets (dog & cat) to keep your fur baby company. If your pet is crate-trained I can support that too.

Camille was absolutely wonderful! Her thoughtfulness and care while watching my sweet kitty Oliver was more than I could have asked for. She was attentive, asked all the right questions and took a ton of photos to share with me while I was away. I would 1000% book with her again. I felt really safe and secure having my fur baby in her hands. :) Thanks Camille! Couldn't have asked for better!

This was our second time booking Andrea, and she did an amazing job once again! Our kitties really like her, and I can tell she gives them extra care and attention. She follows all instructions perfectly and always sends me such nice photos and videos and detailed report, which we really appreciate while we're away. We feel very comfortable knowing they’re in her care. We would definitely book Andrea again!

Outstanding! I cannot recommend Natalie highly enough. She looked after our cats for three weeks and each day gave them excellent care with detailed reports and photos. She outfoxed an invading ant colony, offered to do laundry where cats had sickup-ed, cleaned floors of accidents, brought extra treats, supplies and litter from home.

Aik went above and beyond when I had a time sensitive package unexpectedly delivered while I was out of town. Aik went back to the house 2 extra times to be sure it was put inside without me even asking... I was SO appreciative as it allowed us to enjoy our time away without stressing or having to track down someone else to put it in!

Maria was amazing! My cat Henri is an anxious kitty; Maria knew exactly what to do to make him feel comfortable and safe! She played extensively with my cat (even brought her own toy) and followed instructions closely. She clearly loves cats and her photos of my cat and visit description clearly displayed that! Maria was so flexible and receptive to a last minute booking I had and I am so appreciative of it. I will be booking again with her in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Hillsborough on Rover is $38.85 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 6,024 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hillsborough. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hillsborough. On Rover:

  • 90% 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.

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.
