Top rated Hillside dog sitters

“Wow!! I love Beth. She was fantastic and completely worth every penny (plus her well deserved tip). She always answered my messages, arrived on time, stayed the entire visit, used the app for every visit, provided multiple photos for every visit, and was so thorough. She followed all my directions and was the most professional, quality way sitter I've ever hired in KCMO. I pray that she continues to offer services in my area forever. My kids love her.”


“Estefanía took awesome care of my kitty Moji! She was always on time to the drop-in, sent plenty of photos, and very quickly converted my shy scaredy cat to her usual sweet self. Thanks Estefanía!”


“Sophie is the best - we are grateful with how diligent she is with Cappy, a 13 year old Savannah (think - huge bengal) who does so well with her. Thank you, Sophie!”


“Caroline is amazing! Incredibly trustworthy and so sweet with our two cats 😸 Very communicative, her visit updates and pictures are so thorough, we know our cats are taken care of when Caroline is there! Thanks Caroline!!”


“Jessica was wonderful. She was able to come on short notice, and still made time to visit ahead of time to get acquainted with our shy pup (and us). She is prompt, reliable, and easily made friends with Doxie. We would definitely ask her back for future needs.”


“We had a medical emergency the same week I had to leave town, and Casey (on very short notice) responded and agreed to watch our dogs twice a day. It's clear that Casey really has a passion and love for dogs, I will definitely use her again”


“We needed a couple of drop-ins for our boys who can be quite a handful. Jamie was fantastic! From the meet and greet through the drop ins, she was courteous, professional, and so good with our pups. They seemed very happy to have her around and we're so glad we found her!”


“I cannot recommend Zulema enough! They took incredible care of my cats while I was away, and I felt totally at ease knowing she was in such loving, capable hands. I got regular updates, adorable photos, and thoughtful check-ins that truly went above and beyond—every message reassured me that my cats were not just being looked after, but genuinely cared for. It’s such a gift to find someone who treats your pet like their own. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and all-around amazing cat sitter, look no further. Five stars aren’t enough!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 12 years — including my own sweet senior German Shepherd, who’s been my loyal companion since she was a pup. I’m comfortable with small, medium to large breeds and well-mannered giants, and I have experience with daily meds, senior care, and reinforcing basic commands. I believe patience, consistency, and love go a long way with any dog. Whether your pup needs a potty break, a solid walk, or just some company and belly rubs, I’ve got you covered. My schedule is currently flexible, and I’m only offering drop-ins and walks so I can give your pet my full attention. I treat every dog like family — because they deserve nothing less. I recently moved back from Denver and currently have full availability for dog drop-ins and walks. Since I’m not juggling another job, I’m flexible for weekdays, weekends, and even last-minute bookings. Your pup gets my full attention every time — whether it’s a quick potty break or some mid-day company and exercise. I know how much trust it takes to let someone care for your dog — they’re family. I’ve had my sweet German Shepherd for 12 years, and through every stage, I’ve learned that what dogs need most is patience, routine, and kindness. Whether it’s giving medication, following your exact instructions, or just making sure they feel safe while you’re away, I’ve got it covered. I’ll treat your home and your pup with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.

“Cristina was absolutely wonderful with my dog during her visits! She truly went out of her way to take care of him, making sure he felt comfortable, loved, and entertained the entire time. She played with him, gave him lots of attention, and treated him like her own. I could tell he had an amazing time. It honestly felt like he was on vacation while I was away! I’ll definitely be reaching out to Cristina again for future visits. Highly recommend!”


About: I have experience taking care of pets for more than 10 years I have always had animals and I teach them where to do their needs and tricks to improve their performance and well-being I have all the time available to take care of pets since I work with delivery applications so I manage my time Full time for animal I only have one cat in my house I can take it for a walk I have a park nearby and I have a backyard to take them out to do their needs

About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I have walked dogs for pretty much everyone in my family. Big dogs are my favorite! I have a pit/lab mix and a Maltese at home! My baby Maltese is old but I still love him. I am a big guy so I can handle your big dogs! I am a full time teacher, but dogs are a big part of my life. I get out of work at 4 pm so anytime after that can be dedicated to walking/caring for your baby! I am going to start with just weekends, but I will be looking to open my calendar more as I get used to it. If you urgently need a weekday, just let me know! We can make it happen. I have a large fenced backyard, and two loving fur babies myself. I keep them crated for the most part, especially to not overwhelm any new friends!

About: I am very patient with animals getting to know me and understand that not all cats will come out. I have practice with older cats and kittens. I used to have a dog of my own, and play with all of my friends dogs! I am usually availble early weekday mornings before work, and weekday nights after work. I am also available most weekends as long as I know in advance. I want to make sure the pets are comfortable and cared for when their humans aren't around. Fill food and water, scooping litter, playing (if they care for that), sitting around and patiently wait for them to approach me, basically make sure that the pets get what they need!

About: My family and I had a dog named Honey who we loved dearly, but sadly lost in a house fire around two years ago. I love dogs, and I really miss having one around. I thought Rover would be a great way to care for dogs and make some money on the side! I have experience as an emotional support assistant for students with mental disabilities, a role that demands great patience and understanding. I study Mechanical Engineering Asynchronously, and I work as a barista part-time. When I’m not working I’m usually studying, so I thought why not pack up my work and petsit while I study! My academic and professional lives require great attention to detail, so any sets of specific rules/schedules for any pet(s) under my care will be followed diligently!

About: I’ve grown up with cats, but I’ve taken care of multiple dogs of various sizes and ages for years. I’m good at wearing them out on long walks or just playing, and I don’t mind giving them bath if needed or any other medical or cleaning care. I currently work pretty consistently, but I typically start around 8:30am and I get out earlier in the day rather than evenings so I could watch your pet after 4pm or so. I also mainly have the end of Saturday and Sunday-Monday off as well so those are times where I’m completely free. I will constantly spend time with time with them, buy either playing with their toys, or taking them on nice long walks or runs. I’m alright with crating them if need be, and I don’t mind if you have a large dog. They’re just more fun to play with.

About: I’m a retired nurse who now wants to turn my nurturing skills to animals! I have had dogs and cats for many years (currently one dog) and have cared for others’ pets as well. I have experience administering medication to both cats and dogs. My dog Rocky and I are excited at the thought of having your pet in our home! We promise to taking loving care of your fur baby. I am usually home other than watching my grandchildren several hours a week. This is a flexible arrangement which allows me to frequently check in at home. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog to keep our guests company. I can accommodate pad trained dogs as well as outdoor trained.

About: I’ve been a dog owner and lover since childhood. I grew up taking care of dogs and rescued my own as soon as I moved out on my own. Currently, I have a 7 year old Australian Shepherd who is the light of my life! I am available 4PM or after on weekdays for check-ins or walks! I have more flexibility on the weekends for check ins, walks, or even dog sitting while you’re away. I am happy to care for your dog in the familiar environment of their home! Whether, that’s stopping by through the day, or staying at the house with them, I will ensure your dog is safe and happy!

“Our dog Luna loves Cheryl. We were impressed from the very first intro meeting how attentive Cheryl was to understanding our dogs patterns. Cheryl is lovely to work with and is so friendly. The updates we get after are so helpful.”


“Jen is the BEST! She is thorough, detailed and cares 1000% about making sure your pet is being taken care of properly! I feel so comfortable knowing she’s giving my cat some serious TLC when I’m gone. Thank you Jen!!”


About: I’ve had my oldest baby for 10 years now. I love anything animal related! I have 1 dog and two cats currently in my home in Westchester and two more fur babies my parents adopted at home in North Carolina! I’ve been pet sitting for the last 5 years as a side hobby from my dental assisting job. I’ve been a dental assistant for 3 years now and i love it. I am experienced in giving pills to cats and dogs, I’ve volunteered at multiple shelters and veterinary clinics so I know how to handle all sorts of conditions or concerns you might be having with your fur baby. I’m currently working as a dental assistant but am a navy veteran. I served for 4 years, 2 of those in Japan. I’ll talk your ear off if you let me. With my pets at home I LOVE using my cats favorite laser pointer. Even my dog joins in on the chase sometimes 😂 I take my dog on long walk and make sure he wears himself out cause a tired puppy is a happy puppy
