“Does a great job! We’ve used her 3 times now and she is responsive, sends lots of pics, and most importantly our pup is always happy and well when we get home. Couldn’t recommend more!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Great first drop-in visit with Meredith ahead of our upcoming house sit. She was attentive, asked thoughtful questions about Wallaby’s routine, and clearly cares about animals. Since Wallaby takes a little time to warm up to new people, this visit gave them a great opportunity to get to know each other. It was a really positive first step, and we’re looking forward to the upcoming stay!”
“We are so thankful to have found Kate! She is amazing with our energetic puppy. He absolutely adores her and is thoroughly tuckered out after their walks, playtime and adventures. I have never used a service like Rover before, but Kate immediately put me at ease. I was able to schedule our visits very timely and feel like Kate keeps us updated with how each visit goes. She is cognizant of puppy development and helps to support our training of our pup by using the same language, routines, and providing incredibly helpful tips. She is a lifesaver and I wholeheartedly recommend her services!”
“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.”
“Jennifer did a wonderful job taking care of our cat Charlie and our four chickens for a week while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond by watering our veggie gardens during a hot spell. Thank you, Jennifer!”
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.
“Deb is great! She keeps me updated about her visits with my fur babies and always lets me know if she sees any changes or concerns with them. She makes sure that they are well taken care of and loved on during her visits. I do believe she cares for them as of they are her own.”
“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!”
“Joy went above and beyond, continuing to check on my cat in the midst of a tropical storm. She also made sure other aspects of the house were secure, as requested, and was respectful of covid cautions.”
About: I love animals and have volunteered at animal shelters since I was 9. If I could, I would spend all of my time walking dogs and playing with cats! Currently I am a dog walker and sitter for a couple dogs and cats and am excited to befriend more! I currently work out of the house on Wednesdays and Saturdays for 7 hours. The rest of the week I work from home and love to spend quality time playing, hiking, and snuggling with the pets I care for! I exclusively pet-sit at the moment. When I am home I love spending as much time as possible with your pet! When I am out I will follow your lead on crating or not.
“My dog loves Kellie! She is great about sending pictures each day. It is nice having a reliable sitter each day while I am at work. Will be re-booking with her, and would definitely recommend her to others as well!”
“Violet was a super prompt communicator and had no issues taking over on caring for our cat, Miso. She even traversed rough storm weather to check on her when we were out of the country. Would def book again!”

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.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Hillsborough on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
