Top rated Hillside pet sitters
“Ashley was a wonderful sitter for our cat! She was very communicative and went above and beyond to make sure Poppy was well cared for. She even noticed when the automatic feeder was low on food and made sure to refill it, which I hadn’t thought to ask her to keep an eye on.”
“We were so lucky to have Kathryn help us! We have two dogs, fish and a rescue bunny that needed a little extra attention. Kathryn even helped cover a bunny nest at let-outs each day that we discovered in our yard! She was prompt, communicated well and very kind to our animals. We would definitely use her help in the future.”
“She did a great job taking care of my two cats. Very attentive and responsive to messages. Thanks Angelina!”
“Collette is such a lovely dog person. She immediately greeted Abbey with ear rubs that led to belly rubs. I highly recommend Collette as long as you dont need her when Abbey and I need her.”
“Rae was very reliable and on time! She took great care of our two cats, and was able to coax our shy boy out of his shell. I will absolutely be rebooking with Rae in the future.”
“Jamie is an excellent caregiver who is trusted and reliable! She took care of my kitties better then I could have hoped and gave me peace of mind and comfort knowing she was there to give them the love and attention I needed for them. She was respectful of our home and definitely my go to sitter. Thank you, Jamie!”
“Ola was a wonderful cat sitter, especially for my older cat who requires special attention and insulin injections. She handled everything with great care and confidence. I truly appreciated her reliability and how comfortable she made me feel knowing my cats were in good hands. Highly recommend! :)”
“Rebecca did an awesome job doing drop in visits for our 3 cats while we were away for a long weekend. We loved getting pics every day and all three were in great spirits when we got home.”
“Kiersten did an excellent job taking care of my two cats. She send update photos and responded to all my questions. Safe to say the cats were in good hands 🙌”
“Brian is an outstanding sitter! I was in the hospital having a baby and was experiencing so much stress finding a trustworthy person to watch my senior pit bull in my home. He cannot be boarded or crated. My dog has separation anxiety and Brian was able to help calm him and walk him or just hang out at the house with him when he needed a nap. Unexpectedly, my daughter needed to stay in the hospital and Brian was flexible and understanding. You are a life safer. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking great care of my dog-son.”
“Odalys went above and beyond with my five cats while I was on vacation. She updated me at every visit as to how they were all doing. My cats enjoyed her company. She followed all of my instructions. I would definitely have her take care of my cats again when I go on my next vacation...without hesitation!”
“Alexa was great and responsive on short notice!”
“Zoryna, was very prompt and loving with my pepper.”
“Adriana was amazing and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. This was our first time having someone watch Caius and she kept us notified and sent photos the entire time. He is definitely more of a reactive dog and gets pretty territorial of our home, but he felt so comfortable with Adriana. She also watched him over the holidays which was much appreciated. We will absolutely be having her watch him again in the future. Thank you so much! ❤️”
About: In my life outside of Rover, I’m a therapist for humans — but taking care of dogs is therapeutic for me! I have had pets all my life -- cats, dogs, hermit crabs, fish, and horses. I have my own pup that I love more than anything and live in a cat household with 4 kitties. I am very experienced in caring for animals and have pet sit for friends and family while they are away. My friend said "Anyone else, I would be worried, but I'm not worried about you taking care of my dog...I see how much you love yours and how well you treat her, so I have absolutely concerns going out of town." Current people therapist looking to get therapy from animals by helping you! I have a flexible schedule and love animals. Able to pet sit, drop by, or dog walk! My home has too many cats (4) and one dog so I would pet sit in your home, treating it as if I were a guest and treating your dog(s) or cat(s) like I treat mine! (which means a lot of love)

I give dogs freedom to sniff, stroll, and play at their pace—always sticking to their routine and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.

“If you are looking for someone that will treat your fur babies with the ultimate love and care? Becky is the number one person for you! She is my little sister & our entire lives there has not been one dog that has walked past us that she hasn’t asked to pet. She has knowledge, compassion & is very reliable. When she told me she wanted to make this her new job I thought who ever hires you is going to be ecstatic that they found you! She loves animals more than people, you will be very happy you chose her.”
