“Anne Sophia was so wonderful with our cat Toast, and gave me such peace of mind on my first trip away from him. She was really great with communication, sent wonderful pictures, and went above and beyond to provide love and enrichment time with him. You can tell she loves the pets she looks after and our cat seemed to absolutely adore her. Would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Hope is absolutely fantastic! My buddies love her. She is responsive, sent pictures and notes, and left my house as clean as she found it. We are using her again soon!”
“Summer was a delight to work with and our dogs loved her! She did as asked and always arrived and stayed for her drop ins as arranged. We would definitely hire Summer again for drop ins with our dogs loved:)”
“Phoebe was amazing! This was the first time we left our cat. She usually takes a bit to warm up to people, but she was cuddling with Phoebe on the first visit (which we could see from all the pics she took). Phoebe was dependable and trustworthy with full access to our apartment. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve have had pets since I was a kid which created my love for animals and have had my own personal pets for 20 years (5 dogs, 3 cats over the years). I have also become a foster pet parent for the last year( 2 different fosters). My love for animals encouraged me to start a career as pet groomer for 8 years which gave me a lot of hands on professional experience. I can read dog and cat body language and health needs incredibly well. I have a lot of experience with handling and caring for pets. I work great with all personalities and can tell when they are shy, excited, fearful, happy etc. I have experience administering medications to cats and dogs. I have a lot of senior dog experience. Unfortunately due to carpal tunnel I had to pick a new path which lead to Real Estate and boy do I MISS MY ANIMAL CLIENTS. Currently I work from home 80% of the time and would love to once again have some fur baby clients. Working from home will give me a lot of time to spend with your baby. I am the go to person when my friends and family need their pets to be taken care of. I go the extra mile when it comes to making them happy. I treat every animal like they are my own. I work from home 80% of the time. This gives me much availability and flexibility to look after your fur babies. I am available 7 days a week. I have a lot of hands-on experience working with pets. I make sure they receive the care they need whether it is a long walk, some playtime in the home, or even just a snuggle session I’ll be there. I love to learn all about their quirks and make sure those are taken into account for each pet. I do specialize in working with fearful or anxious dogs and cats. I am very patient and have owned several pets that need extra time and patience.
“Brenda was amazing! She took such good care of my little kitty while I was out of town. She sent great pictures and updates and kept my house tidy and the litter box area very clean!”
About: I have always been passionate about animal care, specifically dogs. I have 3.5 years of veterinary technician experience and have also worked at boarding facilities such as Pet Paradise. I am a student at Saint Louis University majoring in Biology, furthering my education in animal behavior. I enjoy jogging in my spare time, and have the stamina needed to play with or jog with pets. I am available on weekends during the day and most evenings. There’s nothing I love more than taking care of pets! I look forward to taking care of your fur babies! I am a current graduate student, and therefore am working several hours a day during the week, but I am available most nights and on the weekends anytime! I am a helicopter parent when it comes to my own dog, and treat other pets with the same level of care and caution. I love sending pictures (if allowed) to ensure great care, and frequently keeps owners updated on how their fur babies are doing.
“Jessica did daily drop-in visits while we were on vacation for 9 days. She took great care of our kitties, gave us updates and photos, and they warmed up to her quickly. Would highly recommend.”
“KB is magical! Our cats (who are very shy/hide from new people) went to her on the first visit. KB is calm, responsible, took care of our house and kitties perfectly. She sent us photos and updates everyday, answered any questions we had — we could fully relax knowing our kitties were safe and well taken care of.”
“I would 100% recommend Charnell. She took great care of Attila and the pictures she sent were very cute. She also responded very quickly whenever I had a problem, she made the whole process incredibly easy. I will probably use her again if I ever need a cat sitter”
About: I had two dogs growing up which gave me a lot of experience taking care of pets. And when I wasn't to bring any more pets home, I turned to petsitting. This gave me more experience working with cats. Flexible work and fully remote school schedule! This makes pet care during the day possible for me. I am able to accommodate your pet's schedule as well. I am and always have been an animal lover. I would be taking care of your pet as if they were my own to ease their stress as well.
“Coleman has been doing a great job checking on my father’s cat. My father is elderly and can’t bend down to fill the bowls or change the litter. Coleman has been consistent with the check ins and keeps me updated on how things are going. Thank you so much!”
About: I've been hanging out with animals all my life; taking care of others' animal babies for close to a decade. No mess is too gnarly; I've popped pills and dispensed hairball meds. Love a long neighborhood walk or a long snuggle. Let me help take care of your fur babies! I do not have pets of my own; I much prefer being the fun pet aunt! I have siblings and close friends with dogs and cats, who I've spent a lot of time with and pet sit often. I'm flexible! Not having my own pets also means I have plenty of time and energy to spend with yours. I work full time M-F, but most weeks I work from home 3 days a week, and that can be your home with your fur baby. Whether I'm popping in for a walk or a potty break or spending several nights with your fur baby, they will be my priority. I love a long neighborhood walk, snuggles, and will take the time to play. Let me know if your pet has any special needs or routine, and I will be sure to keep things consistent. I'll work with you to be sure I understand your pupper or kitten's daily and weekly routine--feeding times, exercise needs, medications, and any other necessities.
About: I am a responsible college student with over three years of hands-on pet care experience, and I am thrilled to care for your furry family members! I have a steady weekday class schedule from 10:00 AM to 3.00 PM, Monday through Friday. Outside of those hours, my schedule is completely open for early morning or late afternoon drop-ins, and I love spending my entire weekend hanging out with your pets. Adult dogs have no problem with my short 3-hour class window, making me a perfect fit for overnight house sitting. I manage my pet-sitting around my college course load. I am in class from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday. For house sitting, I spend my evenings, nights, and mornings at your home. I will occasionally pop out for a few hours during the day to visit my own home for meals, showers, or personal errands, but your pet will always remain my main priority. On weekends, my schedule is wide open, allowing me to provide multiple flexible drop-in visits or consistent companionship throughout the day. I prioritize keeping your pets safe and your home secure. During drop-ins and house sittings, I operate strictly within your home environment, following your exact household guidelines, tracking precise feeding portions, and handling daily litter box or potty routines meticulously. Dogs are kept on a secure leash at all times when outdoors. I double-check all door locks, security alarms, and property gates before leaving, and I send clear photo updates and text check-ins after every single visit to give you complete peace of mind.
About: I have been pet sitting all through my life. I can take care of kittens and puppies as well. I am an animal lover to the core. I currently work full time from Monday to Friday 9am-4pm. I am available anytime after 4pm or before 9am on weekdays and all day on weekends. I don't have pets of my own due to my lease. But I have done sitting at apartment buildings and homes. I can acclimate as needed.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Hillsdale
Paige is, hands down, one of the best pet sitters we've ever had. From the very first visit, it was clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, not just the checklist of tasks. She sent frequent photo updates throughout each visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away — it felt like we never really left. Beyond the basics, Paige went above and beyond: she cleaned up a mess without being asked and kept the litter box spotless the entire time. Little things like that show real attentiveness and care, not just showing up and clocking out. If you're looking for someone thoughtful, reliable, and truly attentive to your pet's needs, look no further. I cannot say enough good things about Paige — I will be absolutely be booking her again.
We were thrilled with the time Sarah spent on our cats! They love attention so it was much less stressful coming home from a trip knowing that they were well cared for and attended to. They had plenty of food, clean water, and the litter boxes weren’t overflowing, what more can you ask for!
This is my first time using Rover and it was a great experience! I was concerned at first because I needed to be gone for over a month and my two cats have pretty different personalities that required different types of care, but Bethany was a pro in taking care of both of them and keeping them safe and happy.
Emma did a great job with my cats! Her rover cards always had pictures and video along with thorough updates so I didn’t have worry at all while I was away. It was clear my cats loved her and felt very comfortable around her. She also had no problem feeding my exotic pets and even watered some of my thirstier plants. She was always quick to get back to me will definitely book again!
Renee did a perfect job! Did all of the tasks I asked her to do and some more. She swept up some cat litter+washed the dishes the cats were eating wet food off of. I have awkward cats but she she didn't give up on trying to get along with them. Would book again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,339 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hillsdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
