“Laura was fantastic and caring for our cat Cosmo! She was very communicative and flexible with our need for someone to check in during a holiday. Cosmo loved her. We will definitely be booking her again the next time we need someone to watch Cosmo!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I can remember! I even have my own dog and cats that I love taking care of. I have worked in kennel and have pet sit for family, friends, and neighbors. You can count on me for your pets! I currently take care of my dog of 4 years old and cats every day. I walk my dog 1-2 times a day and feed both animals. I absolutely love doing it for them and would love to help you out when you’re in need! I have a wonderful neighborhood to walk my dog around in and a big house to play in as well. We love to throw the ball and play with all of the toys! I offer almost all services in my home and yours like walking, day care, and potty visits.
About: **Please understand we can only consider requests with completed profiles. Think of it like online dating for pets—we just want to make sure it’s a good match on both sides! We share our home with one large, lovable dog—who just so happens to be the ultimate dog sitter! He’s incredibly gentle and gets along wonderfully with dogs of all breeds and sizes. With experience fostering through the Humane Society, we’ve developed a deep love and understanding for pups of all kinds. Spoiling them with love, care, and attention is just what we do best! **Just a heads-up—we’d really appreciate it if you could choose drop-off and pick-up times that match your plans as closely as possible. It helps us keep things running smoothly! If pick-up is after 10 PM, we kindly ask that your pup stays an extra night to keep things calm and comfy for everyone.** I work from home, so I’m able to take quick walk or play breaks throughout the day. Whether your pup needs a little activity or just some quiet companionship, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. While we don’t have a fenced yard, we do have a cozy screened-in sun porch where our own pups love to lounge and keep an eye on the birds. If your dog prefers a crate, I’m happy to accommodate that. And if they’re more into the laid-back lifestyle, they’re welcome to relax on the couch or guest bed—whatever makes them feel at home!
“Kelly was a wonderful sitter for our cat and dog while we were away for an extended weekend. She's very kind, and both our animals were well taken care of. We especially enjoyed that she added photos at our request, despite our cat hiding often. It gave us some sweet photos and peace of mind.”
About: As a family of animal lovers with past pet‑business experience, I know how to give pets the gentle, reliable care they deserve. Our own pup, Duke (1.5), is a special‑needs dog himself, so we truly understand patience, routine, and calm support. He’s playful, friendly, and loves making new furry friends at their own pace. I have plenty of time to play with your pet. I’m available every day after 4 PM, and on weekends we’re flexible as needed. I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly dog who can keep your pup company if they enjoy that. I’m very comfortable caring for pets with special needs — whether they need a calmer environment, slower activities, medication, or extra reassurance. I always adjust to whatever helps them feel safe. They’ll get supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, and lots of attention. I follow each pet’s routine closely and can send photo updates throughout the day.
“Megan was great! She took excellent care of my kitties, following their care instructions exactly, and gave the kitties supervised porch time each day too. Megan was communicative and thorough. I would be happy to book Megan again in the future.”
About: Your pup will become part of the fam when they’re with us! I grew up with three dogs and two cats in my home at all times. Now I own a sweet little Yorkie, Athena, who is my best friend. :) I taught her how to sit, lay, jump through a hoop and give high fives! She loves other dogs and people and is always ready to put in her dress harness and go! She doesn’t even care where. Im actually a realtor who mostly works from home! :) Fall and winter are slower months for me and other than the occasional walk in the parks, I’m usually home haha I have a gate that prevents them from going upstairs and an adjustable size crate with a bed for when it’s time to wind down. Frequent walks around the neighborhood. Very safe and friendly neighborhood.
About: Hello! My name is Karissa and I'm 25. I've taken care of, fostered, and owned many cats and dogs throughout all life stages. As a child, I always had animals in the house to take care of, and I've been dog/cat sitting since I was 16. I am familiar with kittens and puppies, but also with elderly dogs/cats as well as dogs/cats with various medical conditions that may need different kinds of medicine administration or lifestyle adjustments. I am currently working Wednesday-Sunday from 4pm until 10pm, but I am still available for overnight stays on all of those days as long as your pets are okay with me being away for those periods of time. I am available for house sitting bookings and short-term drop in visits at this time. I understand that keeping our pets safe and happy is of the highest priority, and how I will take care of your pets will reflect that. It is always important to make sure your pups are going on walks fit for their lifestyle/needs and that every cat is getting the stimulation they need while you are away.
“Definitely recommend Caleigh for a drop in visit! This was our first time doing Rover and as someone who was pretty nervous about it because at the end of the day you are trusting your pets/house to someone you have never met before, Caleigh gave us peace of mind when we first met. Definitely rebooking for our next trip. We have a recently diagnosed diabetic cat who needs insulin shots twice a day and it was no problem at all.”
“Elise was wonderful with our kitties, Henry and Maizey. She was caring, communicative, and took great care of them while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I myself have a deaf and anxious pup. From her, I have learned how to navigate certain tough situations. I have had to put so much time and effort into her training and am watching her become an amazingly happy and well behaved dog (she even knows a bit of sign language!) I also lost a buddy back in July. He was 14 years old and required medication administration many times a day. With him I learned a lot about helping the old guys feel as happy and safe as possible because they are probably scared of the changes they are experiencing in their lives. I am very active and love going on long walks, so having a dog there would just be an extra bit of fun! I am currently in school but only taking a few classes. I'll have time to play with your pups in the evening especially if you need a night off but they still need a walk! I live in an apartment so leashes are crucial. I would never let my own dog off the leash, so I would never put your dog in a situation where something could go wrong. My own dog is quite reactive on the leash, so if I sense that we are approaching a person/dog/object that might trigger her reactivity I usually steer clear of it to avoid any kind of avoidable altercation. I want every dog to feel safe so i will adjust based on what your dog’s body language is telling me.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Maria watching our cat! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and went above and beyond to make sure our cat was happy and comfortable. She spent lots of quality time with her and sent us frequent updates and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and loving to care for their pet. We would definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve grew up having animals. From cats to dogs to some small pets. I can feed, bathe, or take them for a walk if need be. I currently work full time from 8am-4:30pm. Very flexible after I get off. I’m off on Saturdays and Sundays. I try to be as flexible as I can be :) I’m willing to take your dogs in the yard or walk them down the street if needed. If you prefer to crate your pet when you are not home I can do that as well. I'm comfortable with taking care of cats as well as reptiles. If they love hikes as well I would love to take them on one!
“Jasmin is kind, responsive, responsible and patient. My puppy is always happy to see her and it’s been a huge weight off my shoulders to know she’s being cared for while I’m away at work.”
About: Hello! My name is Paulina! I am a college student at Salem College majoring in Chemistry and an aspiring dentist who loves animals. As a proud owner of two cats, Chobani and Vela, I know firsthand how much love, patience, and dedicated care pets need to feel safe and happy while you are away. Beyond caring for my own cats, I have hands-on experience looking after pets of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Either ranging from high-energy dogs to quiet, timid kitties. My chemistry studies and experience teaching piano to children have made me naturally detail-oriented, patient, and extremely reliable, meaning I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and medication instructions as written. Whether your pet thrives on energetic fetch games, interactive wand play, or gentle belly rubs and low-stress neighborhood walks, I tailor every visit to their unique comfort zone. Above all, I prioritize safety and clear communication, making sure your home is secure and sending you frequent photo and video updates so you always have total peace of mind! Hello!

“Ceymone was great and I’ll definitely book with her again! She fed my cat while I was out of town and I got updates and pictures with every visit. She was friendly upon meeting and gave me peace of mind while being away!”
“Nina is great! She was super flexible as my return dates fluctuated. Made my heart happy to know my crew was left in very capable hands! Will definitely use her again.”

This was the first time we used Matthew and were impressed and will certainly request again. He was willing to do a meet and greet first, took notes and made sure he understood what was needed. We have 3 dogs and we needed 3 visits in one day to include feeding and medications. On day of visit, he interacted with each dog during each visit and provided detailed notes and photos about the visits and followed up with us afterwards also. We would recommend Matthew to anyone needing a pet sitter in area.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hillsdale is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $5 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,399 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hillsdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Hillsdale. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
