Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Hillside

“Travis will treat your fur babies as if they were his own! This was our first experience using Rover & we were very satisfied. I would wholeheartedly recommend Travis to take care of your pets while you are away. We had 100% peace of mind & no worries or concerns. We will use him again!!!”

“Jackie was great! Kitties were very well taken care of. Pictures were sent throughout of them playing, having treats, etc which was nice to see while we were away! Would definitely use her again!”

About: I’m a dog/cat mom who is a little obsessed with animals and can’t wait to meet yours! Open for boarding in my home, walks, check ins, feeding, etc. I currently have a standard poodle and a mini poodle who are the center of my life (let’s face it, the run my life!). They love guests and would be thrilled to meet your dog and cat while you’re away. I have 20+ years of experience with dogs and cats, able to give medications, provide senior care, and daily walks, play time. I’d love to help give your pet their very best life! I work a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate your needs. I’m available weekends and most holidays as well. I’ll do my best to work together to find the best schedule for your pet. My dogs have a lovely home and they kindly let me live there too. 😆. The dogs are allowed free run of the house at all times, though I do have crates for when they want some unbothered time, at their choice. I live in a great neighborhood filled with dogs so we meet a lot of friends on our walks, too.

“Jessica was great! Very responsive and communicative and appreciated how timely her visits were. Our cats seemed to be very happy having her drop in too and we loved all the photos 😊”

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!

“Ilene was a great sitter for our two-year-old kitty! She was very communicative, flexible and laid-back. She was able to come for a meet-and-greet ahead of time and amended the drop-in time, per my request, partway through our trip. We really appreciated her detailed write-ups and quality photos. Thank you, Ilene!”

“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!”

“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! :)”

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.

“Nevaeh was awesome! She sent us text updates including pictures/videos the whole time giving us peace of mind. Our dog Mallie loved her! Would definitely recommend!”

“Kat was great! She took the time to get to know Lily. She was punctual, great communication, and she sent pictures. I would use her again for sure.”

About: I’ve been a pet sitter since I was a kid and i’ve loved every second of it. I know that each animal is different and i’m prepared to give your pet the care it deserves. I’m working part time with a flexible schedule but I am mostly unavailable in the mornings. I will be more available in the late afternoon and night. I have been around dogs my whole life so I am experienced in the needs of dogs in their homes. I always prioritize the pets safety according to their owners instructions.

“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!”

Anika H.

“Qian took great care of my cat while I was away. She came to my house every day for a week!, refreshed his water, cleaned the litter box, and spent time playing with him. She was reliable, consistent, and made me feel very comfortable knowing my cat was nice and cared for. I really appreciated her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”

About: I’ve dog & cat-sitted for friends, neighbors, and family somewhat frequently over my life. I also used to travel when I first adopted my own cats, so I understand how important it is to trust the person looking after your animal. I prefer to stick to the animal’s routine as much as possible - I find it’s less stressful for them. On the days I’m available, I can flex to a customer’s needs. It’s all about the animal more than it’s about me. Routines are important, so I would want to stick to yours. Also, if you’re gone longer than a weekend/days I’m available, feel free to reach out. I have an unusual work schedule, and if I’m a good fit for you & your pet, I am happy to be flexible beyond what’s “officially” listed as my availability. I’m also happy to get mail, water plants, and I always wash food/water bowls for the pets I visit. I live in a condo very close to downtown. The neighborhood is very walkable. Because I traveled for work, sometimes at the last minute, I also accept last minute appointments - because those can be stressful enough! It’s nice knowing you can count on someone on short notice.

“Hope was so amazing with my kitty! She left very detailed notes, giving me complete peace of mind while I was dealing with a loss in the family. Hope was extremely communicative and responsive which was very helpful. She not only made sure my kitty’s basic needs were met, but went above and beyond to play with her, too. Very grateful for a phenomenal sitter like Hope. 😇”

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!

“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better dog lover, than Jamie. Jamie was fantastic to work with, and has great communication. I look forward to working with her in the future.”

“Mary Beth was great! She did drop in visits with Winnie this summer while I was at work and was a huge help. She’s very trustworthy, communicates well, and I always knew Winnie was in good hands. Thanks Mary Beth!”

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!
