“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!”
“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!”
About: I currently WFH as a Client Finance Manager and recently completed my MBA degree. Somehow, I still have plenty of free time and absolutely love pups! I have my own 4-year-old cavapoo, Eloise, and an 11-month-old mini poodle mix, Charlie Sheen. We go on walks 2–3 times a day along the beautiful Bay Trail and would love to walk your dog, too! Hire me to dog-sit, dog-walk, or care for your pup—I offer extra attention with snuggles, kisses, and plenty of outdoor time! I am home throughout the day to ensure frequent potty breaks, attention, and regular check-ins. I typically walk dogs twice a day, and with my flexible schedule, I can accept last-minute bookings. I can stay for a few hours at your home, take pups on a long walk, or simply drop by to check in and feed them. I firmly believe all pups should have access to daily cleaned and fresh bowls of water. My car can take me anywhere to care for your pup!
“Blessy was great! Our cats really enjoyed her company and she followed instructions really well. Would love to book her again to take care of our kitties when we’re out of town”
About: I have raised my almost 13 year old husky since he was a few months old, so I've handled both ends of the spectrum, from puppy training (potty training, crate training, puppy play time) to senior care as he approaches 13. Whether it's cleaning up messes or complex medication regiments, I'm comfortable and confident with pets of all sizes at any stage and I'd love to bring that same care to your dog. I'm self-employed and work from home full time, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. My husky and I go on multiple walks a day as part of our normal routine, and I have plenty of time and energy to share with more furry friends. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether that's a quick drop-in visit, playtime in the backyard, a walk around the neighborhood, or a trip to the park. I'm attentive to each dog's comfort level and adjust activities to what they enjoy most, so every visit feels safe and fun for them.
About: Hi everybody my name is Maya! I’ve been taking care of animals since I was very young ever since I adopted my first dog at 8! 🐕 I’ve had so many pets from dogs, cats, fish, birdies to hermit crabs 🦜 I work part time and finishing up my degree at the local community college in my area so I have tons of free time to take care of your baby! I have a friendly older mini schnauzer and would love to meet your baby! Of course if not, no problem, we have a balcony and tons of space to roam!
“Vanessa was very communicative around planning the visit and she was also very respectful of my cat’s boundaries around new people! She also was skilled in giving my cat her medication with minimal resistance haha. Thank you for taking care of her!”
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since high school. I currently have a sweet kitty named Luna, who is very loved and very much a part of my family. I also had a pug named Khloe, who sadly passed away earlier this year. She was truly my baby, and I loved her like she was my own child. I miss her everyday, and losing her left a big space in my heart. Caring for animals has always brought me so much joy and happiness, and I feel lucky whenever I get the opportunity to love and care for someone else's furry family member! I currently have a lot of free time and flexibility, so I'm able to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I'll treat your pets like they're my own and make sure they get all the love and care they deserve. I would love the opportunity to get to know your pets and become someone you can trust to care for them whenever you need a helping hand! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I'm available throughout the week and on weekends as well. I'm happy to accommodate different schedules and routines. I'm available for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. Having a flexible schedule means to can give your pets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship rather than leaving them alone for long periods of time. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I'm happy to care for your pets in their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment while you're away. I vow to always be respectful of your home and will follow your instructions and your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I have reliable transportation and my own car, so I'm able to easily travel to your home for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I will treat your home and your fur babies with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I will also always keep you in the loop while I'm caring for your pet and will send you regular updates and pictures, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're happy, safe and well cared for.
About: My personal approach to dog care is grounded in genuine care for their well being. Working with my clients I provide prompt communication to ensure your dog is safe, happy, and healthy! Growing up my family had a beautiful 30lb dog that I helped care for from a puppy to old age. Being a part of this process has shown me how to support dogs in each stage of life from rambunctious puppies (structure, training and enrichment) to easing the aging process (special diet, new steps to climb onto the couch, shorter walks etc). Depending on the activity needs of your pup, I’m happy to provide daily walks or short runs (1-3 miles). I'm currently taking a gap year so I have plenty of time for your pups! I'm available weekdays and, with advance planning, can provide housesitting through weekends as well. I live in a single family home with three dogs. However, our family dogs like their space, and it is not available for dog boarding.
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.
“This is our second time having Sandra watch our spicy, anti-social cat. She is great to work with, always thorough, and even accommodated us extending our vacation at the last minute. Highly recommend Sandra to take care of your furry friends.”
“Katie took wonderful care of our dog and two cats while we were away for a long weekend this past April. She was thoroughly professional, from her “meet the animals and owner” visit through the 3 days of care. You can tell she really loves animals and enjoys working with them. I will definitely use her again!”
“Maria is very communicative and my dog absolutely loves her. It's clear that she cares about the dogs she looks after and I feel at peace knowing she is checking in on my little one. I appreciate her detailed updates and photos. We're so happy to have someone like Maria to look after our dog!”
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: I have been a dog lover and owner for 20+ years. I love introducing new friends to my friendly 5 year old Poodle Terrier, Boba, as well as provide exercise services to pets who have busy parents. I have recently taken a break from the corporate grind, so I am available any time Monday through Friday. Weekend availability is possible if needed. I have a friendly 5 year old Poodle Terrier named Boba, who gets walked at least 3-4 times a day. I have a spacious one bedroom apartment and can take on short boarding. I can also make house calls if needed.
About: Hey there! I’ve been pet-sitting friends’ dogs and cats for years. I’m the person at the party that hangs out with your dog near the snacks 😄 Open to overnight stays and also walks/check ins, or local hikes if your pet wants a little adventure. I’m a healthcare admin professional, currently working a hybrid work-from-home schedule. I’m available mid-day through the evenings, and occasionally weekends for overnight stays as well! I am able to travel a bit to petsit your fur friend where they’ll be most comfortable. Can follow any rules you have for your pets, just let me know!
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.
About: I’ve taken care of domestic animals since I was very young. Animals have always been part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them, pets are part of our daily routine. My daily routine already includes caring for dogs. I run a small mobile dog grooming business, so I am used to being around pets every day. I’m also used to taking care of animals since I was young, so feeding, walking, playing, and giving attention to pets fits very naturally into my routine. I live in an apartment, but my complex has a dog park and very dog-friendly spaces. Pets will always receive attention, supervision, and a calm environment. I make sure they are safe, comfortable, and follow the routine provided by the owner, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest.
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hillsborough
Gianna took care of my cat for 10 days while I was away. She was warm and patient with him from day one, checked in right on schedule, and sent photos with every visit. Her updates were clear and detailed and communication was good. She was proactive in communicating any issues. During a heat wave she flagged the temperature in my place and suggested I turn on the AC, something I wouldn’t have noticed otherwise. Highly recommend Gianna.
Hope took great care of Biscuit for us. She arrived on time, followed Biscuit’s meal routine, walked her and got her back into the crate reliably. Hope sent me updates and photos, keeping me in the loop on how things were going. Biscuit enjoyed her time with Hope and we would certainly ask Hope to care for Biscuit again. Thanks, Hope!
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!
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!
Jasmeen was fantastic watching our cats during our extended trip. Since we’ve used her before, we already knew they’d be in great hands, and she went out of her way to accommodate our schedule. She is truly one of the best sitters on Rover, we couldn’t recommend her more!
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!
She was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of my cats, kept me updated, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She’s such a sweet and kind person, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if I ever need a cat sitter in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring!

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 12,166 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hillsborough. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hillsborough stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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.
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.
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.
