“Eliza was a wonderful sitter for our senior cat. She was very thorough, thoughtful, and provided timely updates. Highly recommend and would book again in the future!”
“Andrea was great at initiating our first meet-up as well as continuously communicating throughout her drop in visits. Our pet was well cared for and not nearly as anxious as she usually is when we are away.”
About: I have been dog-sitting consistently since 2016, and it's something I truly love! My budget and schedule doesn't allow me to have a dog right now, but I love getting to care for others when they need someone reliable and trustworthy to help them out! I work part time and have a pretty flexible job, so can work with your schedule and needs. Reach out to me and we'll see if we can work it out! I am very thorough, detail-oriented, and responsible. I always aim to care for your pets the way I would care for my own, so rest assured, they will be in good hands!
“Natalie is such an amazing sitter! We had to find a new sitter and she is wonderful. She cleaned up some messes one of our older cats made, ensured that their waters were clean, and loved on my cats. Keeping her info for the future!!”
“Thank you so much for dropping in to check on our two kitties. We really really appreciate that you were able to visit around Mollee's bedtime and to see her in the photos all relaxed in her usual places. Della jumped down from the cat tree in the office when we got home, she was napping up top. Hopefully, as she gets to know you, she will come out and play with you!”
“Erica and her daughter were super helpful when I was in a bind finding care for my lab on short notice. She was even willing to drive a nice distance to care for him and took really nice, professional looking photos of him. It was such an added bonus! It made me smile while I was at work, looking at his photo, and how happy he was with them! Made me feel comfort with such wonderful people in my home. Will definitely be booking Erica again! Wonderful with dogs!”
“Beyond kind to both me and my kitty! Always on time, very attentive, and sent great updates and photos! Took the time to interact and play with my cat and always responded quick! Highly recommend!”
About: I understand an animals body language well and absolutely adore them. Making your pet feel special and thoroughly played with is my specialty and the joy goes both ways! I am very responsible when it comes to potty breaks, feeding and (like I’ve mentioned) giving attention! I’ve only ever had one small dog growing up, but am always gravitating towards animals when I have the chance—Hence this job! I lived with my sister and her 4 cats for 2 years and took care of them the entire time—litter box cleaning, feeding, bathing, etc. For 4 years I took care of 2 giant great pyrenees, akbash, and anatolian shepherd mixes who were a lot of work. That being said, if there is anything unique with your animal I am determined to learn and am passionate about it! At the end of the day my goal is to make them feel loved. I work full time and my only true day off is Monday and I will have one other day off (either Tuesdays or Thursdays) on days I work I’m usually done by 5pm—I can always switch around my schedule if I know ahead of time! Currently my roommates have an indoor cat that I will play with and give treats to. Unfortunately, I would not be able to bring your pet inside my home. One of the main reasons I want to pet sit is so I can be with animals since I don’t have the space or recourses for them!
“Kaitlyn is a great cat-sitter. I returned to a quite happy cat. She followed all provided instructions and promptly replied during the entire duration of the cat sitting. Even though my cat is pretty shy around new people, Kaitlyn quickly earned his trust. Kaitlyn provided many pictures and prompt updates for each day's visit and was thoughtful enough to double-check that I was returning as expected. I unequivocally recommend her as a cat-sitter and would book again.”
“Ryan is a great dog sitter! I have trusted him for my 3 dogs’ care. I appreciate him for being helpful whenever he notices something. My dogs were comfortable around him. We want to ask him again!”
About: I’ve always been a dog girl & for as long as i remember there has always been a dog in my house; truly the best feeling the relationship you can build with dogs. I am able to check in or even stay over night whenever , my schedule is pretty open with online school and only working friday nights and saturday nights from 4-9, besides that i can make time. I have a pretty big spacious house and a back yard that’s not closed all the way off with a fence but a pretty good open area , i will always make sure your pets feel loved and well taken care of.
“Breezey provided daily updates to us while we were out of state. When our spare key to our home didn't work, she reached out for help. Fortunately, she was then able to enter our home and care for our cat. I highly recommend Breezey.”
About: I was born into a family of German Shepherd lovers, and grew up primarily taking care of our German Shepherds until about 10 years old when we also adopted cats and labradors. Once I graduated college, I adopted an 8 week old Alaskan malamute, who I cared for his entire 11 years of life until he passed just recently in January. I am not ready to adopt again, but am missing the presence of dogs in my life and looking to fill that space by helping friends, family, neighbors and members of the community with their dog care needs. I am experienced with puppies, high maintenance animals, and especially with large breeds (my boy was 150lbs at a healthy weight and required at least 5 miles of exercise a day). I am kind, caring, uniquely experienced, energetic and reliable. Due to my experience, I know all too well what it feels like to have to find reliable, safe, trusted care for a large, high maintenance, and/or misunderstood breed - I know that I can definitely offer that unique service in this arena. I currently am taking a break from my career as an executive assistant. I am extremely active during the week, and have plenty of free time in general. I am respectful to how you’d like your dog to be taken care of in your home and out and about. No matter what the need, I am able to discuss, negotiate and accommodate. Though all are welcome - due to my experience, my niche has become working with and caring for large, high maintenance, and/or misunderstood breeds.
About: I have been taking care of family pets all of my life, but I haven't had experience officially pet sitting. I love animals and helping take care of them, which is why I signed up for Rover, so that I could gain experience and spread that love to other pets. I am also a college student at the University of Oregon, and I recently got back from a study abroad trip and am looking to earn a little extra money this summer. I have a dog at home named Buddy who is a Golden Labradoodle, and he is my world. I would say I am the primary caregiver for Buddy in my family, as I am the first person to feed him, take him on potty breaks and walks, give him treats, bathing him, etc. Thus, pet care fits naturally in my daily routine. I care for my dog by making sure he has food and water, taking him on walks, showing him love and giving him treats, bathing him every two weeks, and also going on adventures to the dog park so that he can socialize with other dogs. While I haven't officially pet sit as a job, I have pet sit for family members and family friends many times, and have done a great job.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 3,235 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hillside. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hillside. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
