“Mariia was wonderful! So kind and our cat adored her! She was very communicative and kept us very updated on our cat as we were away. We will definitely book her again!”
“Frida was wonderful with our very shy cat! She tried for 2 days to get him to come out and play and on the third day he did! He played and let her pet him which means he was one happy cat! Frida took good care of him and our house, we highly recommend her and would welcome her back anytime.”
“Holly is very responsible, cat loving, and knowing person. She complied with a schedule. Our two cats accepted her from day one. We recommend Holly, and will call her in the future.”
About: I’ve had both a dog and a cat my whole life and have grown up with the responsibility to take care of them whether it be feeding them, taking them for a walk, or spending time with them. I also used to dog sit and walk for my neighbor five days a week while I was still in school. I currently only work 3 days a week and have a toddler so I’m limited to what I can work as far as a 9-5. I enjoy spending time with all animals and love finding new ways to get in my exercise My goal is to make you and your pets as comfortable as possible. Whether that be following a general list of what you prefer for your pets or a detailed agenda.
About: I am a local resident and a dog dad to a big Lab mix. I enjoy being outdoors and know how to handle dogs safely on a leash. I'm honest, punctual, and I'll make sure your dog gets a great walk. I have a very flexible work schedule, so I am available for walks throughout the day. Whether you need help in the morning or the afternoon, I can easily adjust my time to fit your dog's routine. I'm around when you need me. Safety is my number one priority. I always keep dogs securely on a leash and pay attention to our surroundings, not my phone. I will treat your dog and your home with the same respect and care that I give my own family.
“Xingcheng (Connie) looked after my two boys, Bobby and Jack, for 14 days while I was traveling, and she is hands-down the most reliable and best cat sitter I have ever had! She connected with them instantly, played with them regularly, and sent me tons of daily pictures and videos. I always felt completely at ease knowing they were in such excellent care. She gave me regular updates on their food and kept the litter box spotlessly clean. Communication was fantastic throughout the entire stay, so I always knew exactly how they were doing. I will definitely book with Connie again and highly recommend her!”
“Responsible and very responsive sitter! I appreciate Hannah's attention to detail. She was available for a last minute request with this booking and was also able to come for an additional visit so I could extend my vacation. Thank you!!”
“Chandra is very kind and took great care of Layka for us!! He communicated with us and was very easy to work with. We hope to have him care for Layka (and Sludge) again! :)”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I have BA from Rutgers and AAS in Veterinary nursing. I passed the National veterinary technician boards in 1999. I worked at the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School as an ICU, fluid therapy and neurology nurse practitioner. I trained veterinary students, veterinary nursing student and worked with clinical residents and attending veterinarians. I have experience with senior pets, pets with ambulatory challenges, pets requiring medications and sick pets. I’ve worked with a wide variety of pets including birds, rabbits, ferrets, snakes, hamsters, rats, mice and fish, and other reptiles. I’d love to help care for your pets! As a pet mommy myself I know how important it is to have a trusted care giver when you can’t be home. I am currently very flexible and can have plenty of availability to meet your needs. It will be easy to work with your busy schedule. I am willing to provide the care your pet needs, whether it’s walks, yard play or just sitting with them if they are older and need company. You tell me what they need or like!
“Sha provided fantastic care. She is extremely reliable, responds very aptly to any updates, and pays close attention to detail by following all of my specific instructions carefully. I would gladly book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Brittany took excellent care of my 3 cats, especially of our senior boy. He’s 16 yrs old and needed extra care. My two girls are shy and they usually hide from people they don’t know. Brittany was able to get them out of hiding and sent pictures of them playing. Communication was timely and included pictures of every visit. Brittany went above and beyond of what was expected for a first visit with our fur babies. Thank you Brittany!”
“As always, Cristina is amazing. She’s flexible, communicative, and has a sharp eye for the exact type of small thing you’d want a pet sitter to notice, like things laying around the cats could get into or something abnormal about their appearance or actions. She always does everything that’s needed to be done. We’ve been using her for over a year now and love her!”
About: I’ve cared for pups of all ages — from playful little ones to sweet senior dogs who need a gentler touch. I’m confident giving medications and even administering injections, always with patience, love, and care tailored to each pet. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, or extra patience and love, I tailor my care to meet every dog’s unique needs. Morning • 7:00 AM – Potty break & 20–30 min walk • 7:45 AM – Breakfast & fresh water • 8:15 AM – Short playtime or cuddles Midday • 12:00 PM – Potty break & play • 12:30 PM – Mental stimulation (training, puzzle toy) Afternoon • 3:30 PM – Potty break • 4:00 PM – Light play or nap time Evening • 6:00 PM – Dinner & fresh water • 6:30 PM – Walk • 8:00 PM – Relaxation, cuddles, or quiet play Night • 10:00 PM – Final potty break • Bedtime – Cozy sleep routine Creating a safe, loving environment is always my top priority. I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can play, explore, and stretch their legs without worry. Supervision is constant, and I make sure gates are latched and the yard is hazard-free. Inside, pets enjoy a calm, comfortable space where they’re treated like family. Whether it’s an energetic pup or a senior dog who needs extra care, I provide a trusted environment where every tail can wag with confidence.
“I was very nervous about using an online service to have someone watch my precious babies, as I had never done so before. Jennifer came for a meet and greet, took notes on what needed to be done, and took the girls for a walk with me to see where they normally walked. I booked 3 drop ins with Jennifer. Each drop in I received a report and photos on how the girls were doing. Jennifer put me at ease and kept me well informed each and every time. I will certainly use her again!!”
“Louie is always happy to see Alexis and she always leaves a detailed and enthusiastic report on their time together. He and the house are always in great shape when we get home.”
“My kitty was very happy when Megan came. She kept us update with pictures and messages. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our little guy was being taken care of.”

We’ve booked with Brittany a bunch of times now and she always does an excellent job with our pets! She updated us throughout the whole time we were away and we knew our crew was well taken care of! She’s super personable, punctual, and great with our pets!! We will definitely book again and recommend her to anyone!
Haley was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! From the moment I met her, I felt completely comfortable and knew they were in great hands. She was caring, attentive, responsible, and treated our dogs like they were her own. She kept us updated and made sure our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Haley was there taking care of them. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dogs. We highly recommend Haley to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and dependable. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future! ❤️🐾⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Viral was amazing with our pups! She was so attentive and considerate. Her communication was outstanding, even asking to purchase treats if we didn’t have any at our house. She sent daily pictures, which my children absolutely loved! I would highly recommend her to anyone and can’t wait to use her in the future!
Hannah was extremely responsive and caring towards my cat! I had been worried about my cat since I had recently traveled with her and wasn’t sure how she was going to adjust but Hannah was very communicative and often gave detailed summaries of her visits and lots of photos. I really appreciated it as an anxious pet owner and would recommend Hannah to anyone!
Thank you so much for taking great care of our three Golden Retrievers! We really appreciate you giving them a bathroom break and making sure they had fresh water. They have a lot of energy, so it means a lot that you handled them so well and made sure they got some time outside. It’s great knowing they were in good hands!
So fortunate to have connected with Brian. He was great with our dog and bonded quickly with him. Brian was responsive and communicated clearly. He asked great questions during the meet and greet. Throughout his care of our dog, he provided detailed updates, photos and pictures. We will absolutely be using him in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hillsborough on Rover is $16.85 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 5,224 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
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
