“This was our second time using Kethely and had the same great experience. Not only was she great with our little girl and shared daily photos/videos, but she was also kind enough to take in our packages while we were away. Highly recommend.”
About: As a veterinary technician and proud dog mom of two Cavaliers, I understand how important it is to find someone reliable for your pets. With years of hands-on experience and a genuine love for animals, I make sure each dog or cat feels safe, happy, and cared for—just like they do at home When I’m not at the veterinary clinic, I love spending my extra time caring for pets in my community. With flexible availability during the week and weekends, I’m here to make sure your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure every walk is secure, every visit is calm, and every animal feels loved and cared for. With experience in a veterinary clinic and as a dog mom myself, I know how to create a safe and happy environment for every pet I meet.
“Shannon was absolutely amazing with our 5 year old pitty. She was so thorough at our meet and greet over Quintley’s routine and needs. Shannon was there twice during the day at exactly the time we asked for. She kept me updated with messages and pictures. Her communication is fabulous. There was no question that our pup was in great hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again. The absolute best!!”
About: Hi, I’m Bee, and I’ve helped take care of dogs and cats for around 6 years. I don’t have any pets of my own (yet!), but I have assisted friends with dogsitting and also Rover-ing! I’ve also fostered cats, and that has given me an edge in knowing how to make an animal comfortable quickly, especially in a new environment. I also have experience in giving powder, pill, and eyedrop medication. I believe that in order to give your pet the best care, we should work together and be on the same page about your pet’s needs, habits, and anything else you’d like to share! I also love taking photos of them and sending them to update you on how they’re doing. If this all sounds great, send me a message! I work fully remote, so I have time to take your dog(s) on walks generally before 8:30 AM, sometime in the afternoon, and after work at 6 PM. We can work out an appropriate schedule that most closely mimics their usual routine! Within my community, we have a dog park, so depending on how comfortable you are with allowing your dog(s) to socialize with others while you are away, I can take them there or map a new route to avoid the dog park if needed. Around the community we have some good routes for walking as well as a pond in case your pup wants to explore and smell! In my home, we avoid any strong scents, plants, chemicals and cleaning products that could pose harm to animals. Trash is secured in a cabinet.
About: I’m new in Rover! But trust me, I will do my best! 😆 I’ve always loved both cats and dogs, and spending time with animals genuinely brings me joy! I believe pets are family members and deserve to be treated with love, patience, and responsibility. I have over 1.5 years of hand-on experience caring for cats, including looking after my friends’s Bengal cat and adopting my own cat about a year ago. I also have experience with dogs through helping friends with walking and feeding. I believe every pet has a unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know their habits, preferences, and needs. Whether they’re playful and energetic or shy and reserved, I adapt my approach to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Beyond basic care, I enjoy keeping pets active and mentally engaged. I even take my own cat on walks! :) As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously by following your instructions carefully, paying attention to details, and providing photos and updates during visits. My goal is simple: to make every pet feel happy, understood, and well cared for while giving their owners peace of mind. I work remotely from home and have the flexibility to arrange my own schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine! Whether your furry friend needs a morning check-in, a middle playtime break, or an evening visit, I’m happy to work around their usual routine and your needs. I love spending time with animals, so pet visits are something I genuinely look forward to, not just another task on my calendar. I believe pets feel happiest and safest in their familiar environment! I will respect your home and follow your pet’s usual routines, care instructions, and personal boundaries. From feeding and fresh water to playtime, potty breaks, and litter box cleaning, I will make sure your furry friend is comfortable and well cared for. I’m also attentive to safety, including securing doors, keeping their space clean, and watching for any unusual behavior. You’ll receive photos and updates during visits, so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands!
“Andrea took care of my dog, Pillar, and a cat, Muning in my home for 3 nights and 4 days. She was caring and I knew that from pictures she sent. It was my first time to use not only Rover but also a house sitter. Andrea made me comfortable and be at peace while away. Thank you Andrea.”
“Emma has been great with our senior dog we’re fostering. He doesn’t always want to walk or eat and she understands that. She’s reliable, flexible and responsive. Gives reports back on how Charlie is doing. Highly recommend her services.”
“Jade is AMAZING! Me and my Diggy are so happy we found such a kind and funny soul. She was very communicative while I was away but most importantly loving and caring towards my baby. He’s been sick the last few months so she helped give his medicine which is not easy. She sent me countless pictures and funny videos that gave me relief while I was on holiday 💚”
About: Hello my name is Lara, I'm 21. I am a big animal lover, been with cats and dogs almost all my 21 years! I get along with all pets which is great, I work at Dillard's part time job for now as sales associate at men's department, in my free time I like to go for long walks and hiking. I live only me and my mom and my kitty cat he's 8 months old, a ragdoll and his name is Neith! I'd love to take your doggos for a walk, funday, just for a visit or wherever you want them to go! I love all kinds of dogs really, I don't see myself minding any breed as long as they're friendly, and that would be all about me, let me know if you have any questions! I currently work M-F but if the opportunity comes and a furry friend needs me, I can show up; also available on the weekends at any needed time :) My pets are spoiled, well taken care of and treated with all the love there is in the world. Any of my clients’ pets would receive the same treatment :)
About: Hi there! 😊 My name is Anahi and I have been a dedicated pet sitter for the past nine years. It all started when I got my first dog at the age of five 💕🐶 Growing up alongside my furry companion, I developed a deep love and understanding for animals, which eventually led me to become a trusted pet sitter in my community. At the age of 14, I took on the responsibility of caring for not only dogs but also cats, extending my services to family friends and neighbors. Whether it's walking them or giving them a refreshing bath, I take pride in ensuring that each and every pet under my care receives the love, attention, and proper care they deserve. Over the years, I have built strong bonds with the animals I look after, establishing a sense of trust and companionship that makes their time away from their owners as comfortable as possible. With my experience and passion for animals, I strive to create a safe and enjoyable environment for them, making their well-being my top priority. If you are looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter, I would be more than happy to extend my services to your furry friends. Feel free to reach out to me, and together, we can ensure that your pets receive the love and care they deserve while you are away!!!! I have the perfect combination of having a part-time job and a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate ample time to playing and caring for your pet. With my part-time job, I have a great deal of availability on weekdays and can easily accommodate your pet's needs. Whether it's providing companionship, taking them for walks, or even assisting with baths, I am committed to ensuring your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Having a lot of free time gives me the opportunity to create a schedule that aligns perfectly with your pet's routine. When you choose me as your pet sitter, I will come to your home to provide the care and attention your pet deserves. This arrangement offers several benefits, as your pet can remain in their familiar surroundings, surrounded by their own toys, bed, and comforting scents. This helps to minimize any potential stress or anxiety that can occur when pets are taken out of their usual environment. During my pet sitting visits, I will ensure that your pet's daily routine is maintained as closely as possible.
“She took amazing care of my cat Jack. Everything was perfect from start to finish. I felt completely comfortable knowing Jack was in good hands. I really appreciated the updates and the way she treated him with so much kindness.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15. From puppies to seniors! I love them like my own. I am a God fearing woman and animal lover with maternal instincts. I have experience with disabled pets as well and pets with dietary restrictions. I have a very flexible schedule and am currently open for full time. I already pet sit once a month for a week or more at a time regularly :) I tidy up the litter boxes and do light cleaning around the house. clean the floors, sweep and mop. Take out trash, walk the dog or play time.
About: In both my home country of Argentina as well as in the US, I've taken care of small dogs and cats for several friends and families (as well as my own) for the last 15 years. I recently resigned from my regular job to spend more time with my family, and am ready to go back to do something I LOVE...care for cats and dogs :) I have 3 indoor cats who roam around my house, Pulgita, Simon and Patricio. Pulgita is the newcomer, less than 2 years old. Simon and Patricio are old timers, both 14 years old. I have a spacious house for them to roam around and play.
“It has truly been a pleasure having Zoë as our cat sitter while we were on vacation. Zoë is very pleasant, thorough and thoughtful. She checked in every day with updates, suggestions that were greatly appreciated and even navigated minor challenges very professionally! I will definitely re-book in the future and highly recommend Zoë as a great caregiver! Thank you Zoë🫶🏽”
About: For nearly 20 years, caring for pets has been a natural part of my professional caregiving experience. I've also had the privilege of caring for clients of RxTra Care Pet Sitting & Services, PetCare with Love LLC, and currently Pawmunications, entrusting me with the care of pets of all ages, personalities, and care needs. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to get to know their personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether I'm caring for a playful puppy, a senior pet, or a multi-pet household, my goal is to keep their day as consistent and stress-free as possible. I believe the best pet care starts with communication. I take the time to learn your expectations, your pet's routines, and the little details that make them feel safe and comfortable. Every visit is tailored to your pet, because no one knows them better than you do. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering routine oral medications, maintaining feeding and exercise schedules, and caring for multi-pet households. I'll also provide regular photo and text updates so you always know how your pets are doing. My goal is simple: for you to come home—or finish your workday—to happy pets and the confidence that everything was exactly as it should be. Pet sitting is currently my full-time focus, allowing me the flexibility to provide dependable care, accommodate a variety of schedules, and be available for overnight stays, drop-ins, and walks. My availability is updated regularly, so if you have recurring or long-term needs, I'd love to chat! Because I'm caring for your pets in the environment they're most comfortable in, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and respecting both your pet's needs and your home. Before every booking, I take the time to learn your pet's schedule, preferences, medications, and any household routines that are important to you. During each visit, I'll follow your instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, double-check collars and harnesses before walks, and provide regular photo and text updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you complete peace of mind.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Hillside
Let me just start by saying Hannah saved the day! She was quick responding to my same day request for drop in visit, and easy to communicate with at all times. She sent photos, gave updates and truly let me feel like I picked the right sitter. I will definitely be booking my future visits with her!
10/10! Absolutely amazing experience! She was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond, even helping me with things that had nothing to do with taking care of Dusty, and she did so without any hesitation. It was also clear that Dusty really liked her! She sent me adorable pictures of Dusty approaching her and showing affection, which gave me so much peace of mind. She consistently provided photo updates and detailed descriptions of how Dusty was doing. She is incredibly kind, caring, attentive, and always quick to respond to any questions. I genuinely couldn't have asked for a better experience. 10/10, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pet!
Naomi really helped me out when I had a last minute booking to watch my cat for the weekend!! She replied quickly, made sure to get all the information she needed to learn his routine and care for him best, and he had a blast! She sent lots of photos and text updates while she was with him. I felt much less stressed knowing he was happy in her care while I was away!!
Irisdelie was so good with me and my cat! Would definitely book with her again and I feel more comfortable with the idea of traveling knowing she is an option. She was so professional, communicative, accommodating, respectful, kind, and she made me laugh with her visit summaries. She did everything I asked for and put in effort to make my cat comfortable. My cat eventually felt very comfortable and affectionate with her, which is great because she is afraid of strangers. Irisdelie also met up with me beforehand and spent over an hour getting to know what I needed and during my trip she took lots of great pics! Thank you so much Irisdelie, it was a pleasure! :)
Angelica did a wonderful job taking care of our two kitties, Jellybean and Sid, while we were away! Her detailed rover cards with lots of pictures really helped us feel at ease knowing that our fur babies were getting so much love and care. Would definitely book again — thank you so much!
Cristina took wonderful care of my 4-month-old kitten for a week while my family and I were out of town. She communicated well, responded promptly, and sent us pictures every day. It was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with my kitten and took great care of her. Cristina followed all of my instructions and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Before we returned, she took out the kitty litter garbage and left the bathroom clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Cristina to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and responsible pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Hillside is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $39 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
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.
