Pet Sitting Hillside

“Hope is the best. I have an old cat with lots of special needs making it hard to leave him alone but Hope was super communicative, caring and made me feel comfortable that he was in good hands.”

“Our kitty was in great spirits when we returned. It was evident that she had been well taken care of. Jackie was amenable to our requests and provided helpful and frequent updates. Thank you, Jackie!”

“The pets seemed super happy with Alex’s visit, we’re so excited we found her here on Rover- gives us so much confidence and relief for our pets’ care needs for any future drop ins/stays. Super impressive she was able to get the puppies to cuddle up all together on her first drop-in, they clearly liked her a lot! The photos and updates were great little check ins to see the goobers acting well, enjoying some company, and resting happily. Alex is also amazing at following their specific care instructions and asking any questions to clarify or check for things. Communication is 1000/10, plus super responsive, attentive, and easy to coordinate with. Thank you!”

“Ilene was fantastic and went above and beyond my expectations which is so greatly appreciated! Ilene’s communication and timeliness is perfect and even provided me with adorable pics & videos of playtime with Rozz which warmed my heart while I was away. Ilene’s love and care for animals is exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend Ilene for any of your pet care needs!”

About: I have had dogs my whole childhood, and been around dogs since I could remember. I understand that every pet has unique needs and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I had a miniature dachshund growing up- so bonus points for a weenie! 🌭 I’m currently working part-time this summer so I have a lot of time to care for your pets. My schedule is kinda random as I am in healthcare currently. I either work from 7-1pm or 1-8pm. Fridays I have mornings available until 12pm, and Saturday evenings, free Sundays. I have two Maine Coon cats at my home currently. They are very friendly but a little skiddish. We have a litter robot at our home, and they are very spoiled & loved!

“Jamie is amazing! She is so kind-hearted and really cares about my dogs. She reinforces all of their training. I feel really good knowing that she is stopping in to take care of my babies when I'm not there. Thanks Jamie!”

Eliz G.

“Avery was great with my dog! Followed all requests and went above and beyond. She was very communicative and accommodating. I would definitely recommend booking with her and I will again too! :)”

Briana O.

“Megan was so wonderful!! Our sassy cat loved her and we could tell he felt comfortable with her and was calm when we got home after a week away. We are so thankful to have found her and are way more confident with leaving in the future!”

“Travis stopped by for a short meetup and walkthrough before my trip. He became fast buddies with my kitty, and also put me at ease knowing my kitty would be in great hands while I was away!”

About: Hi! I would be an amazing pet sitter because I love animals. Ever since I was little I have had pets whether dogs, cats, ducks or turtles. I am currently in college and away from my dog Nalla so taking care of your pet would honestly be special for me too. One of the main reasons I am on rover is because I love to walk and hike and figured why not add a companion. Hi! I am currently on break from work and school so I can make anything work! I am available everyday of the week at any hours necessary! I sadly cannot have any pets in my home because I live in an apartment but I can take that out for walks in areas near me! I also am used to taking care of a dog when I am home so can do whatever the owner needs!

About: I grew up with both cats and dogs, have two spoiled cats of my own, and spend some of my free time volunteering with cats at a local animal shelter. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, snuggles, or just having a friendly human around, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also provide plenty of updates and photos because I always want a million photos of my cats when I’m away from them! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize visits, walks (for dogs), and drop-ins without rushing. I’m able to plan my day around pet care commitments and make sure each animal gets consistent attention, care, and reliability. As I currently have two cats of my own, feeding, playtime, litter box care, and general check-ins are already part of my daily rhythm. On top of that, I volunteer at an animal shelter, which keeps me regularly engaged with different cats and their needs. I provide care in my client’s home through drop-in visits and/or walks, depending on the pet’s needs. I always follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress free while their owner is away. During visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any medication needs if instructed. I also make sure each pet gets attention and companionship based on their personality, whether that’s active play or quiet company. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and always prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication with pet parents through updates and photos.

About: I've grown up with dogs since I was 8 years old and have loved taken on the responsibilities. I also have experience taking care of friends' and family's variety of pets. I currently have my own 1 year old Australian Shepherd who has taught me so much about raising and training a dog. I will give your pets the attention, time, and patience that they deserve. I currently work remotely so I am very flexible with providing pet care and ensuring that your pets get quality time! I love spending time walking, playing fetch, or exercising with my dog everyday and would love to do the same with yours. I am always thoughtful of a pet's needs and am respectful of their space. I practice good spatial awareness with my own high energy dog and understand how important it is to properly monitor a pet's behavior. I currently have availability at any time of day throughout the week. For my own pets, I ensure that they are properly fed and watered throughout the day. All of them have designated time to play each day and are groomed regularly. I will give this same attention to care to any animal I watch and am responsible for. While house sitting or dropping, I follow instructions given to me as best I can and I respect you and your pets' space. Whatever is best for you, I will accommodate!

About: 🐾 PREMIUM SERVICE: Off-Leash Dog Park Excursions Want your dog to get maximum socialization and energy out? I offer dedicated 1/2 hour to 2-hour trips to local fully-fenced dog parks like Roverwest or Estabrook. This includes pick-up, drop-off, active playtime, and a fresh water break. Message me for custom booking rates! While I continue to provide these premium off-leash park excursions, I am currently opening my schedule for new recurring, daily weekday walks to provide consistent, reliable care for your pup. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I am fully comfortable managing multiple dogs at once, maintaining your exact routines, and ensuring each dog feels safe, exercised, and cared for. Because I work from home full-time, I can take your pup on potty breaks as often as needed throughout the day. My approach prioritizes calm, structured walks, positive reinforcement, and clear communication with pet parents. I am highly experienced with overnight boarding, strict feeding schedules, administering medication, building leash manners, and providing constant companionship. I have a small, friendly Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Bob who gets along great with other dogs. With your permission, Bob can join our walks to provide extra socialization and companionship, which is especially helpful for dogs with anxiety or those who just enjoy gentle interaction. •SAFETY PRECAUTIONS• Your dog’s comfort and individualized care are always my top priorities. Please bring your pup with a secure harness instead of a collar for walks and outings. Harnesses are significantly safer, more comfortable, and help keep your furry friend protected at all times. My daily routine balances client care with my own dog's needs. I schedule every morning, midday, and evening walks, ensuring every dog receives attention, exercise, and socialization while my small, friendly pup joins safely when appropriate. I provide attentive, loving care for pets in my home including feeding, walks, playtime, and safe socialization. My small, friendly dog can join walks for companionship and comfort with owner's permission.

About: I’ve been a dog owner and lover from a very young age. I had 3 small dogs growing up, including a chronically ill girl and an elderly animal. I dog sat often growing up and in high school, both small and large dogs. This also included medically complex dogs and elderly animals. I have taken care of single dogs and up to 4 small dogs at the same time. I am good with dogs that are high energy and very smart, and love to play with them! I’m currently in college, with classes daily from around 8am to 2pm. Over the summer I will only be available before 9am and after 4pm on weekdays and available all day on weekends. I believe dogs should be treated with respect and care that humans are treated with. I am able to handle scrappy/barking small dogs on walks and in home. I can handle larger, less aggressive dogs. Energy levels of all kinds are welcome.

“We are repeat clients of Leandrea’s and she is wonderful with our sweet kitty. She is always engaged, communicative, friendly, and shows lots of love to our beloved pet while we are away. We love the updates she gives on the rover card with lots of pictures and details on her visits. Thank you again Leandrea!!”

About: I love nurturing all living things from children (although I am not yet a parent to a human), to plants and animals alike! I tend to put all living things before my own needs to prioritize their well-being. In addition, I recently took in a crested gecko and have learned so much about caring for reptiles as well. Everyday before leaving my apartment I make sure that both of my pets have plenty of food and water. In addition, I check to ensure that my plants are out of reach from my cat and that my bioactive terrarium is maintaining humidity. I care for pets by making sure they have food, water, a clean liter box, a moist environment, and get taken out for potty breaks depending on which animal I am caring for. I am willing to care for your pets with the same considerations in mind.

About: I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every pet like they are my own. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets, energetic with playful dogs, and gentle with senior animals who may need extra support and slower-paced care. I’m also very detail-oriented and make sure routines are followed closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, potty breaks, and playtime. I communicate consistently with pet owners through updates and photos so they always know their pet is happy and well cared for. What sets me apart most is the amount of genuine attention and affection I give to each pet. I don’t just “watch” animals — I spend quality time with them to make sure they feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for while you’re away. I'm currently nannying on weekdays from 8:00am - 4:30 pm, so I’m available for morning visits before work, evening walks/check-ins, and overnight care depending on the pet’s needs. I’m especially flexible on weekends and have much more availability for walks, drop-ins, extended stays, and quality playtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent, stress-free, and fun. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, attention, and playtime, and feel comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I have two large-breed dogs at home, so I’m comfortable handling bigger, high-energy dogs, and I have also frequently dog sat for smaller-breed dogs with different temperaments and care needs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care requests.

“Carrianne was amazing with my cat! My cat has never come out for any sitter before, but with Carrianne he even allowed some pets! She was punctual, reliable and personable, clearly made my cat feel very comfortable! I will definitely be booking her again for my next trip!”
