Amber is amazing! I truly cannot thank her enough for how great she was taking care of my cat, Beans. He was pretty stressed when I left for vacation for a week and he wasn’t eating. After a few days, Amber took him to the vet and got him the care he needed. She is excellent with updates and communication. You can tell how much she cares. She really goes above and beyond expectations. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future and recommending her!

Sherill has been a huge help with getting our new puppy adjusted to being home without us during the day. Mabel loves her drop in visits and we appreciate her patience with the puppy energy over the first couple of weeks.

Jill was WONDERFUL!! So nice to be able to have the puppers/kitties stay at home and not be worried the entire time we were away. Jill sent lots of pictures and updates and even cleaned the cat litterbox which was unexpected, but certainly appreciated!! I would use Jill again in a heartbeat...the dogs miss her already!

Kaylee does a great job following the guidance you give her for watching your pets. She did a great job communicating with me when she had questions. I have used her twice before and would hire her again.

Alex was outstanding! She is professional, dependable, and an excellent communicator. It was clear from the moment we met that she genuinely loves animals, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. She took wonderful care of my dog and cat during each drop-in visit and consistently provided timely updates and photos so I always knew they were doing well. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Alex again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter through Rover.

Having a total care senior dog can be extremely stressful when planning a trip out of town. My dogs used to be road trip champs but unfortunately due to old age and one handicap, they have to stay behind. From the moment Mason came for a meet and greet both dogs greeted him and were calm and happy in their presence. Masons confidence and willingness to care for my total care senior dog was a relief. I was able to go out of town for 5 days with a peace of mind knowing that they were not only well taken care of but happy as well. I highly recommend him for all your doggie needs.

Andy was absolutely exceptional. I booked him last minute, had no idea what I was doing lol! He came over for a meet and greet and immediately put me at ease. I was nervous leaving my dogs care with someone I didn’t know. He’s warm, knowledgeable, great with the dogs. He really listened to what I needed, what I was worried about and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. My dogs are extra and he gave them the time and attention they deserved (and need)! He was thorough in communicating with me while away. My scheduled shifted and I had to reach out for a last minute session and he worked with me so well! Will definitely rebook his services and highly recommend. Thanks Andy!

We were so pleased with Heather. She stayed with our cat Stark and dog Layla( a pit mix with anxiety ) She kept us updated with reports and photos. We knew that our fur babies were in great hands with Heather. Layla was a bit nervous at first but she came around. Heather was awesome ? We will use any time we need a sitter for our fur babies

Kelly was so great with our anxious dog. She reassured me throughout the visit (and before haha). She took things slow with our dog and gave him his space. We are thankful to have her stop by on a weekly basis. Kelly also communicates very quickly and has good availability on her schedule!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have cared for pups from their playful puppy stages all the way through their senior years. Because of that, I’m comfortable with all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like my own. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, a calming presence, or gentle senior support, I’ve got them covered. I work night shift, which means my days are completely free for pet care. I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, dropins, and giving your pet lots of attention. In my home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe right away. I keep their routine consistent, give lots of attention, playtime, and regular potty breaks to keep them relaxed and happy.

About: I have experience working at a kennel where I cared for many cats and dogs at once. I was responsible for walking, bathing and feeding these animals along with checking on them throughout the day to make sure they were comfortable and safe. My friends and family have always relied on me to watch any animals while they were away. I have also given medication for diabetic dogs. I am currently working full time and am working at home while having a flexible work schedule. It would be very easy for me to incorporate drop in visits and dog walks into my schedule. There is a dog park near my apartment along with plenty of places to walk. I enjoy long daily walks within the neighborhood I live in. I love getting to know new animals and how they like to play and have fun all while ensuring safety for the both of us.

Amber did an amazing job taking care of our five cats! We have some scaredy cats and some more growly ones and she respected each of their boundaries. We came home to very happy cats. She also handled giving one of our more growly cats a pill each day with no issues. Very happy with Amber as a cat sitter and would recommend using her!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Hilltop

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 1,201 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hilltop. 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 Hilltop. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

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.
