“Leanne visited Mr. Shelby twice a day while I was away. She sent lots of photos and played with his favorite toys. This is the first time I have hired from Rover and not had a relative watch Mr. Shelby while I was away and this was the happiest he has been when I got home from a trip. I think he appreciated Leanne’s company and made a new best friend. I will definitely be hiring again. Without a doubt I highly recommend! I would even argue she is better than a relative watching him because sometimes relatives cut play time short, but Leanne was always at our home longer than the 30 minutes required which is so appreciated.”
“Nicole took amazing care of our cats! She sent us very detailed updates for every visit with plenty of pictures which helped make it much less stressful to have to leave the cats at home. We will certainly ask her to look after our cats in the future and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“Rebecca took excellent care of my slightly anxious and socially awkward rescue cat named Garage while I was away. I was a little worried leaving her for 3 days because of her behavioral issues, but found that she was in great hands with Rebecca. We will definitely be requesting her again!”
“Jessica did drop in visits while i was away for an overnight trip . She was punctual and thorough with pictures and kept in touch and was trustworthy . Will definitely use her again !”
About: I have lifelong experience caring for dogs, from growing up with them as a child to raising them as an adult. I currently own a puppy and love being hands-on with daily walks, training, and playtime. With years of experience providing consistent care, attention, and affection, I understand the importance of keeping pets happy, healthy, and safe. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday life! I’m home daily, so your pet will have plenty of companionship, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and lots of love rather than leaving pets alone for long periods of time. I truly enjoy having animals around and love making them feel comfortable, safe, and at home while their families are away. I’m happy to keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible and give them the individual attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I’m lucky to have a fenced-in dog park right in my neighborhood, which gives pups a safe space to play, exercise, and socialize. You can trust that your dog will always be cared for in a secure and loving environment.
“Jonathan was a lifesaver when prior a pet sitter canceled last minute, and in a way I’m happy it turned out that way! You can tell from the minute you meet him he genuinely cares for your animals like they are his own and makes every effort to show it. He even crocheted a blanket for our kitty! My husband and I never had to worry a day while we were on our vacation because we knew our cats were in great hands. We cannot begin to thank you enough!”
About: I've had animals my whole life! I currently take care of my own 2 senior kitties and know they need special attention. I also had two dogs (puggles) from the same litter for 10 years before sadly losing one to cancer. This experience helped me learn how to care for sibling pets and a pet that is grieving the loss of another. Additionally, in high school, I took many companion animal classes and learned from industry experts how to care for pets. My neighbor was a dog groomer and showed dogs professionally, and I accompanied her at times to help with the dogs. IMPORTANT SCHEDULING NOTE: I am typically available between 5-11pm Monday to Friday, or anytime Saturday and Sunday. I am typically available anytime Saturday and Sunday. Monday-Friday I am available between 5-11pm. I am a very routine person and am known for getting to places early/ on time. No special request is too "weird" to me! I can ensure your pets have free roam of the place or are secured in a crate! I can take dogs outside in a fenced yard or on a leash if there is no fence. I also fully understand pets can be messy and never mind if I have to clean up any accidents (my experience with senior pets and a dog with bladder cancer taught me that).
About: Hii! I volunteered at shelters but I preferred building a relationship with pets in Rhode Island :) I grew up around many dogs and cats. A fun challenge was when we adopted our German Shepherd puppy! Training him was a fun challenge, but it was harder (yet more rewarding) when we adopted his brother as well! Now they’re grown and trained but I can still see the little puppy they are in their eyes! I also have a senior dog that needs extra care, but I love making sure she’s comfy and gets her massages. I work a hybrid 9-5, so I can make time mornings and evenings for pet care. On my work from home days I am more flexible to do care during the day. Weekends are fully available! In your home I would make sure pets are in their designated areas and can’t escape! Cleanliness is the largest thing I would keep in mind while making sure your pet is comfortable!
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 20 years old. Friends have relied on me to do week long overnights with their pets and walk them each day! I love dogs and hope to work with your family soon! I'm currently a teacher looking to make some money and hang with my favorite animals! I love walking. My schedule will become more flexible in the next couple of weeks! I always listen to what the owners prefer. I make sure that they are on a leash when needed and treat the animals with respect and care.
About: I've been dogsitting for friends for the past few years! I've loved dogs and would love to continue spending more time with them! Always eager to help people and make dogs feel loved! I work in ministry and have a flexible schedule. I'm not free all the time, but can be really flexible depending on the season! Always down to have a conversation to iron out details! I have only cared for pets in other people's homes. I follow whatever guidelines, instructions, or rules that pet owners give me. I want to make sure their pets are on their regular schedules and are loved!
“Cailey took wonderful care of my kitties and made sure they had lots of play time. Cailey made sure the kitties received their meds and ate, even though they were being fussy and had her open at least 2 different cans of food while demanding to be fed in the window, on the table, and on the floor. Lol. I was very happy to see the kitties enjoying their time with Cailey.”

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, I provide loving, reliable, and attentive care that keeps your furry friends happy and healthy. From daily walks and playtime to administering medications and special care needs, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give both pets and their owners peace of mind, knowing that your beloved companions are in compassionate and trustworthy hand I follow your pets routine closely along so they feel secure, happy, and on schedule. Your pet’s comfort and consistency are my top priorities while you’re away. Pets are cared for in a loving home as if they were my own, no dog bed goes unused. Plenty of yard yard space to run around,
About: As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust it takes to leave your furry friend in someone else’s care, and I treat every pet like family with patience, love, and attention tailored to their unique needs. As a Shiba Inu owner, I know that every dog (and cat!) has their own personality, quirks, and comfort level. I have experience caring for energetic puppies, independent adult dogs, and gentle senior pets who may need a little extra time and care. Koda, our dog, is the sweetest, friendliest and most calm dog I know. He would welcome any visitor with open paws and play with them during the stay. I work from home, so pets get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule makes it easy to adjust to their routine, whether that’s feeding, exercise, or just keeping them company. At my home, pets enjoy a fenced yard, plenty of playtime, and the company of my friendly dog, Koda. In our home, I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them happy and comfortable.
About: I have been raising dogs with my family since middle school, starting with an Alaskan Malamute puppy that was only 30 days old when we first brought her home. I grew up alongside her and gradually took on full responsibility for her daily care. This experience helped me develop patience, attentiveness, a strong sense of responsibility, and a deep emotional bond with dogs. Now, after more than ten years of experience living with dogs, I treat every dog with the same care and affection as my own. Dogs tend to respond positively to me, and I genuinely enjoy building trust and companionship with them. Caring for dogs is not just something I do—it is something I am truly passionate about and committed to. At the moment, I primarily work remotely, and I spend most of my time with my wife. This allows me to have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I am able to provide pet care services at any time throughout the week, and I approach each task with full energy, attention, and genuine enthusiasm. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for every pet. During walks and outdoor activities, I carefully monitor the surrounding environment, making sure the area is safe and watching for any harmful objects or food that could pose a risk to the pet. I also pay close attention to interactions with unfamiliar dogs and other animals, ensuring that the experience remains positive and stress-free. I carefully observe each pet’s behavior, energy level, and overall condition, including monitoring their bathroom habits as an indicator of their health. I adjust exercise intensity based on the pet’s needs and make sure they cool down properly after more active play or walks. After high-energy activities, I provide water gradually and safely rather than allowing them to drink too quickly. I also provide detailed grooming care, including gentle brushing and checking for ticks or other concerns. If necessary, I will carefully remove ticks and make sure the pet remains comfortable. Beyond basic care, I enjoy spending time with pets through play, affection, and companionship. I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and love that I would give to my own pet.
About: I have always loved animals. Any time a neighbor needed a pet sitter they would call me, and I was always excited to help. I have been pet sitting and dog walking for close friends and neighbors for years and I have had many animals of my own. I feel as though I am experienced and responsible for this kind of job and it would be so much fun for me. I am currently in school to pursue a career working full time with all kinds of animals and I feel that Rover would be a great stepping stone for myself. I have a Bichon-Shih Tzu named Max and I love him dearly so believe me when I say your pets will be dearly loved as well.
About: I LOVE animals! I recently lost my 13 year old soul dog who I’ve had since she was 8 weeks old. I have experience with senior and hospice dogs. I know how hard it is to leave your “kids” with someone new, but I promise to keep them safe, happy and loved. I currently do work but have flexible hours and am able to work from home if needed. I am available weekdays/nights and weekends to watch your “kids” I have a single family home where dogs are allowed on the furniture. I also have a fully fenced in back yard for your pups to play in.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hillsgrove
Savannah was absolutely incredible. She even brought my little dog a sweater as temperatures dropped when I was away. She gave me complete peace of mind knowing my pups were well taken care of. Very communicative and sent lots of pictures. Will 100% use her again!
Jessica was awesome! Super speedy response time and she has a very kind, warm energy that put our dog at ease from the start. You can tell her love for animals is genuine and she was very professional and accommodating making the process run smoothly. 100% recommend! Our dog Watley definitely wants to hangout with her in the future. :)
I was in a bind and needed someone to watch my dogs on short notice of about 2 weeks it wasn't sure if I can find anybody. I was looking on Rover and came across Jennifer and all I can say is that my two pups Cosmo and Ginny absolutely loved her! Due to an illness though I had to cut her watching my dog short. She was helpful and took care of everything. I would highly recommend her to anyone and I am planning more trips in the future, so I know who I will be calling. Thank you again for all your help.
Like always, Kathy went above and beyond to take care of our animals and our home! When the smoke alarm decided to start chirping, she found a step ladder, got the thing down, and used her own batteries to make sure it was safe (and that the chirping wouldn’t drive our kitty crazy!). She is the only one our cat will seek out brushes from, which is saying something. 🐈⬛ Always provides the best, most detailed cards that make me giggle. Thank you Kathy!
Jean is very caring and accommodating and it’s clear how much she cares for my puppy while in her care. She’s easy to communicate with and is willing to adapt to my puppy’s ever changing needs. She also always sends the cutest picture updates and is just as excited to see the puppy grow and develop his goofy personality.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hillsgrove is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $36 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 2,707 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hillsgrove. 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 Hillsgrove. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
