“We could not have asked for better dog sitters than Vickie and Kylee. They met with us beforehand to learn about specifics (they dog sat for more than a week for us, so we were grateful they wanted to learn the ropes first). They were so communicative with us, sending updates & pictures nearly every day. They’re friendly and professional. Our dog was happy and eating well and clearly not stressed out when we returned home, which was a relief (much better than when we’d picked her up from other boarding situations in the past). Our little boy had a birthday during our trip away & they even left him a gift! I hope they’re available next time we are on a trip away.”
“Meredith always communicates her arrival, responds quickly and shares information about Finn’s day. She is wonderful to work with. Finn loves her and is always so happy when we get home. We highly recommend Meredith”
“Rachael is a wonderful pet caregiver! Finn is so happy in his Rover pictures as well as when we get home. Rachael is punctual and she is responsive with communication. Thank you, Rachael!”
“Bella was a delight to communicate with, extremely responsive and kind. She took great care of our three pets while we were away. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Kate took care of my fur family while I was out of town. I was often worried about them, but Kate put my mind at ease by providing me with regular check ins on how everyone was doing. Kate sent photos of my cats showing that she spent time with them. Seeing them sitting on her lap brought me so much peace. I looked forward to receiving the photos of them she sent! Thanks, Kate!”
“Betsy is great! Very reliable with good communication. She went above and beyond making sure the house temperature was comfortable when our A/C went out and retrieving our cat when he slipped out. I will definitely hire her again.”
“Julie did a fantastic job with our three cats. She got the shy one to warm up to her, and gave each of them a lot of attention. She was fast to respond and gave detailed cards which I appreciated. Very trustworthy and caring.”
“Sophie has been patient and caring with Coco; She is fabulous! Follows instructions and keeps me updated on her visit with Coco. Most importantly, Coco loves her. He gets super excited to see her. I highly recommend Sophie.”
“Jennifer was GREAT! She watched our 2 dogs while we were away at the beach. She is very responsible and always provided us with updates during her visits! It was nice not to worry while we were away. We will be return customers!”
“I booked Amanda for a drop-in visit for my two dogs and she was AWESOME. I appreciate that she really spent the time to give them what they needed, even cuddling with them which was so sweet! Overall, she's super reliable and would definitely book her again in the future should I need a sitter.”
“Kelly was able to accommodate us last minute for a drop in visit for our pup. She was prompt and followed our instructions for our senior boy. We would highly recommend!”
“Sarah was so sweet and took great care of my pets. She updated me the whole time and is one of the nicest pet sitters I've ever had. Love her and look forward to using her again”
About: I have extensive experience providing care and support, whether for people or animals. I’m naturally compassionate and attentive to the needs of any living being, and caring for others has become second nature to me. Since I complete my college coursework online, I have a highly flexible schedule and am available most of the time outside of regular rest hours. I prioritize safety and responsibility, ensuring pets are never left unattended and always have their needs met. You can rely on me to provide consistent, dependable care.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Hillsborough
Our regular sitter of over 10 years was unavailable so we met with Amanda and two other potential caregivers. While they all were quite competent, there was something special about Amanda…and we hired her to care for our 14 year old cat. Amanda had big shoes to fill in following our regular sitter, but she did an outstanding job! We would hire her again in a heartbeat. The only downside was the cumbersome communication through the Rover app.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Hillsborough on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 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 .

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.

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.
