“I believe this is Alaska’s 3rd stay with Brittany and I can’t say how well she watches our pup. She keeps her active and snuggles with her. Brittany sends me updates and videos and communicates regularly. She loves dogs and she treats our Alaska as if she was her pup and you can tell — Alaska tends to be super shy around folks and she literally runs in to greet her every time now.”
“So & John J were absolutely wonderful! Ollie had an amazing week-long experience. They treated him like family. I loved all the pics and videos they sent. He had tons of fun and came home feeling happy and loved. I couldn’t have wished for better care for my baby and would not hesitate sending him there again. Thank you So and John for your loving attentiveness and care. He had an amazing time!”
“Daniel was a knight in shining armor for our family. Our original sitter had a family emergency and we had a flight to catch. Daniel was accommodating and made my pup feel at home with lots of walks and belly rubs. Daniel and his family will definitely be our go to for pet sitting!”
“We are sure that Bodhi got pampered by Ron and he sure did have some withdrawal symptoms. LOL. Bodhi would certainly love to stay with Ron again. Thank you so much Ron!”
“Kylee is the best dog sitter I have had. She sends lots of pictures Which I loved. She was very understanding that this was the first time we left our doberman. Being able to see Bella have fun was so reassuring that I picked the right person to care for her.. Kylee is going to be our go to person for Bella. Kylee and her family were so welcoming and her house was dog friendly which I loved as well. Other dog sitter have rules about their house, which is completely fine. But we treat Bella like she is a true part of the family, and I got the same feels from Kylee.”
“Chaun was a great communicator for the meet and greet and the entire visit during the weekend! Our pup had some tummy issues and she was super on top of it and letting us know what’s going on. I also loved all the pictures and videos of him playing with all the other dogs and kitten she had visiting. Thank you so much for taking great care of Wrigley!”
“Nicole is a great dog sitter. She was prompt with all communication, easy to meet up with, and took great care of our pup. She provided pictures and check-ins and our dog seemed very happy in her home”
“Hayley and Graham were fantastic! They were very communicative and easy to work with. Plus they were very sweet to my boy, even when he went through their trash! I will definitely use them again.”
“Christina is communicative, flexible, and caring. Our dog was feeling a bit nervous in a new environment and Christina did her best to support our dog while we were away. When we picked up our dog she was happy and healthy! Thank you, Christina!”
“Morgan was quick to reply to messages and her updates (with pictures) during the boarding period were much appreciated. She took good care of our Labradoodle. She was calm and happy when I picked her up, like she’d just had a nice vacation herself!”
“We had such a good first experience with Lajetta. She is a wonderful communicator, sent lots of photos and took great care of our dog. Our dog got along well with the other dogs, and was his normal self when picking him up at the end of the stay. Lajetta is proven to be great with dogs, and a responsible sitter, much appreciated!”
About: It’s hard to find someone to trust to watch your fur babies. I’m hoping to give you peace of mind when you are away. I can be flexible to a pet’s needs including exercise, socialization, potty schedule and medication regiments. I can’t think of a time in my life we didn’t have animals. As a child I wanted to be a Veterinarian. I worked at an animal hospital for a few years in my early 20’s. It was a great experience. I live close to a dog park and Forest Park or will take your dog on a run if needed. Also, there is also an emergency vet clinic nearby; just in case. A daily check in can be provided including photos. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby!! I work from home so my pet routine with Lilly and Winston grounds me. Especially for morning and evening feedings and daily walks. As they are getting older our activity has slowed but I’m ready to meet the exercise levels for any pet that I’m sitting. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs. I have been working with animals nearly my whole life so adding new animals to our pack is second nature.
“Heather helped us out in a pinch and we were so glad we found her. She provided updates with images or videos daily. Our Shih-Tzu / Maltese loved spending time there and meeting new doggie friends. He had so much fun he slept much of the day after we picked him up! We will definitely recommend Heather!”
“Robert was great with my dogs. They had a nice place to sleep and play. I think they thought they were on vacation. He was very thoughtful about making the dogs feel at home. Will definitely bring them back again!”
“Lyssette was extremely communicative, and my pup loved her and her dog. Her yard is huge, Valkyrie had the run of the whole downstairs and was super happy. Will definitely use her again!”
“Gage is really nice and responsive and he took a great care of Tater tot. We got regular updates and pictures and was easy to communicate with. I highly recommend! Will rebook again in future.”
“Annika, John, and Pepper were great with our pup Lemon. She’s very shy and takes a little bit to warm up, but she was cuddling with them in no time. They were very communicative and sent us updates so we were never worried. And Pepper is a perfect, well behaved playmate. :)”
“Mark was friendly and met with our puppy, Shae, ahead of time to make sure it was a good fit. Drop off and pick up was easy. Shae was well cared for during her time with Mark and she will be back soon!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Hillside can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hillside home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Hillside.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hillside. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
You and your Hillside sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
