“Anabella has been great. She is attentive to the dogs and has patience with one of our pets that takes a long time to warm up to others. We’ve had a scheduled routine and she’s very reliable.”

About: Hi there! I’ve had pets my entire life and currently have a 6 year old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix, so I’m no stranger to high energy dogs that need structure, exercise, and plenty of mental stimulation. Through caring for my own dog and helping friends and family with theirs over the years, I’ve gained experience with everything from daily walks and feeding routines to enrichment, playtime, and providing extra patience for anxious or reactive pups. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. One of the perks of working freelance is having a flexible schedule! That means I can often accommodate daytime walks, drop-ins, and last-minute requests. I love spending time with animals, so getting to care for pets throughout my week is something I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I’ve been trusted by friends and mutual friends to care for both their homes and pets over the years, so I understand how important that trust is and don’t take it lightly. I treat every home with respect, provide regular updates, and strive to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I have cared for dogs of all different ages and breeds from senior Italian Greyhounds to Leonberger puppies. Safety and comfort are my top priorities for pups and I believe every dog needs his or her special time to just be a dog during the day. I have a lot of free time to dedicate to your pup! I am experienced with administering medicine to older dogs/dogs with anxiety. I also have the energy and patience for younger dogs, and am able to walk multiple dogs at a time, if it is needed. I’m available for walks and overnight stays. I have reliable transportation for doggy day adventures! I look forward to hearing from you. Please feel free to ask my any questions you may have. I currently have open availability and am looking forward to meeting new doggo friends for day care, overnight care, walks, and drop-ins. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! When I'm dog-sitting or walking, I am happily and fully committed to your pup. No dog is the same, just as no person is the same. Each family has its own culture and needs. I want your animal friend to be as comfortable as possible, so I will follow any routines or dreams you have for them.
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.
About: I have cared for a wide variety of dog and cat breeds over the last 10+ years. I love pets of all sizes and energy levels. I can walk dogs and pet sit as needed! I am flexible with time on most days of the week and afternoons/evenings every day. My weekends are usually completely open so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet! You will get lots of pictures of your pet while I am watching them. I am gentle, patient, reliable, and trustworthy. I have experience with watching multiple pets at one time.

About: I grew up taking care of my family dog that we had for 13 wonderful years. I have been dog sitting for many years and have also volunteered at animal shelters in the past. My partner and I own a home in Hillsborough, where we have a large, fenced-in yard for our own pups, Reggie and Echo, to enjoy. Reggie is excitable and has a loud voice, and though he doesn't always know how to contain that energy, he's a lovebug who just wants to play with anyone and everyone. We've had a number of dogs here to stay with us, including a 12-week-old puppy, and he loves them all! We recently got him a little sister, Echo. After a 2-hour adjustment period, they were fast friends and snuggling as they napped! She's also a sweetheart and is working on learning good manners. Reggie and Echo spend most of their time traipsing around the back yard and napping in the sun. I work from home, so your dog can get plenty of supervised playtime! I can also send plenty of pictures during your little one's stay if you'd like! Let me care for your sweet pup when you are away from home! I work from home full time, so your dog and mine will have plenty of supervised care and time to play and explore the backyard! We live on an acre, and the back half is completely fenced in with a 5 ft fence to keep all pups safe and contained!
“Sarah was a life saver for us! A last minute unexpected need for a walker came up, and Sarah was so kind to lend a hand with my leash reactive dog. She was amazing with Schpoozi in handling his special needs, and showed up when she said she would. Dependable, responsible and sweet, what more could you ask for? Highly recommended!”


About: Hi! My name is Kellie and I live in Waterstone Estates in Hillsborough. I have a lot of experience with dog walking and pet sitting. I have two dogs - a Maltese who is now 16 and a Pomeranian mix who I adopted who is now 13! I also have a cat that belongs to my sister that I am currently taking care of. I love animals and always have. I am very comfortable with pets of all sizes. I especially love taking dogs on walks! Please let me know what you could use help with and I will do my best to accommodate you. I am looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I am open to pet walking and drop in visits at any time during the day. My schedule is wide open, as I am not currently working! I am available to walk pets, play with them, feed them, and take care of them in any way needed. I will make sure they are comfortable and safe!
“Sophie is outstanding. She is always willing to help, even in a pinch. She always snaps photos of their walks and im convinced she’s able to get Shelby to smile. The quality that I most appreciate is that she is very reliable.Thank you Sophie!”
About: I have been taking care of different types of dogs since I was young. Friends, family and others have relied on me to walk, feed, and watch their dogs over night in their own home. I’m currently working part time and I am a part time student, but they are different days so I have plenty of time with your pup or pups! I am free for walking, playing, and watching dogs in your home when it is needed. I will follow any instructions you give to me to safely walk and take care of your animals in your home or neighborhood, this includes backyard, front yard, and anywhere else I am given permission to take your dog.
About: I love animals, both big and small, furry and not. I currently have an 2 year old lab/Great Dane, a 7 year old corgi/chihuahua mix, 3 cats, a crested gecko, a bearded dragon, multiple aquariums - fish, and chickens! I have experience training my own young pups, and helping older dogs that are on medications and having difficulty getting around. I have pet sat for neighbors, family and friends for the last several years, and their animals are always just as important to me as my own. I want your fur babies (and other pets) to be happy and healthy while you are away, and I will send plenty of photos so you can see their happy faces and wagging tails. I also have experience with turtles, chinese water dragons, snakes, and frogs! CURRENT AVAILABILITY - I am only available early mornings (start time no later than 6 a.m.), evenings (starting at 5 p.m.) M-F and any time Saturday and Sundays (depending on our family plans) **SNOW/ICE - when there is snow and ice at my house, I am usually unable to get out of my driveway, much less make it to someone else's house** I can't wait to meet your animals. . . I will play with them at your house, take them to a nearby park, and/or walk them around your neighborhood- whatever meets your needs. I also enjoy just sitting with an older animals and giving them some sweet snuggle time, if that is what is needed. If your animals like and want interactions with children, my two sons (10, 14) would be more than happy to come with me provide play and snuggle time with me (they will not be with me otherwise). There is nothing more fun and rewarding to me than knowing that your animals are happy and being taken care of and that I am a part of that.

“Rylie was a great communicator and was very attentive to my fur baby! She was very understanding of my dogs shy/nervous tendencies and didn’t let it stand in the way of a good afternoon walk! I was very happy with her!”

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.
About: I enjoy animals of all kinds, and I understand seeing pets as family members. I have been primary caregiver for many pets over the years, from aquarium fish to parrots to large dogs. I have (with professional guidance) trained puppies and cared for elder dogs. My work schedule is generally flexible and mostly remote, so I believe I can accommodate most needs. Advance notice always helps but I can likely handle last-minute requests as well. I am not able to host any pets but I am available for pet-sitting, check-ins, and dog-walking. Above all I try to care for people's pets as they would. Information about your pets' routines, dietary and medical needs, training, etc., is always appreciated. I am alert to what pets communicate about their needs and feelings. I generally believe in positive reinforcement and addressing issues before they become problems.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Hillsborough on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Hillsborough. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Hillsborough.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hillsborough. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
