“Mae was amazing!! She stayed with my two kitties for 5 days and they were well taken care of during that time. They sent me daily pictures and kept in contact and promptly responded back when I sent a text. It was such a relief having someone to depend on when out of town. Don’t hesitate to have Mae stay with your animals… they will be happy and you will be at ease as well. Thank you Mae!! Will definitely use them again!!”

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I strive to make your pet’s routine as seamless and stress-free as possible while you're away. I am completely comfortable with anxious pets and well-versed in administering both pill and topical medications. Whether it’s stimulating walks, endless affection, or gentle patience, your fur babies will receive the exact level of love and dedicated care I give my own girls. You can count on detailed updates and plenty of photos daily—or per visit—so you always have complete peace of mind. I currently have open availability for drop-ins and walks from 7:30 AM to 9:00 PM. As a dog and cat owner myself, my pets always come first—and while your sweet baby is in my care, I will treat them with the exact same love and dedication. I provide personalized, gentle care tailored specifically to your pet's routine in the comfort of their own home. Being away from family can be stressful for our little dudes, so my top priority is making my visits a fun, stress-free highlight of their day, giving your pets extra love and giving you complete peace of mind.

About: Animals have always been a major part of my life from cats to dogs to toads, I love them all. Over the years I have always had indoor cats and dogs in my care that have ranged in age from newborn to senior, energetic to unwell and everything in between. When I’m not caring for my pets or others, I’m a work from home artist and volunteer at the humane society as a foster and dog walker. Take comforting in knowing I would treat your best friend right. Currently I work from home as an artist (predominantly pet portraits) and can set my own schedule leaving me with ample availability for bit time or day and days throughout the week. I have a three acre yard with a large fenced in area, my dogs are extremely friendly and there is lake access that my own dogs use for swimming very often

“Karrie did an awesome job watching my fur babies while I had to travel for a work week. She regularly provided updates and pictures which put my mind at ease as I had never hired an overnight pet sitter before. The place looked just like it did when I came back and she clearly understands and loves cats. I definitely would recommend her to house sit for your pets.”

About: Animal lover with hands-on experience raising wildlife from a young age and a professional background as a veterinary technician. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all personalities, ages, and medical needs. What sets me apart is the calm, patient, and attentive care I provide — I treat every pet like family and focus on making them feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. Pet care naturally fits into my daily life as I’m currently home all day with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’ve raised wildlife from a young age and also have a background as a veterinary technician, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. My home provides a safe, calm, and loving atmosphere where pets are treated like family. I also currently volunteer at the humane society with my daughter, which reflects how important animal care and compassion are in our everyday lives. I have a fully fenced backyard, plenty of dog toys and treats, and provide a safe, loving environment for pets. We currently do two walks a day with our pup, River, so daily exercise and attention are already part of our routine. We also have two dog-friendly cats that are comfortable around other animals.

“We were so happy to have found Jayne to take care of Simba. She provided exceptional care for him sending us detailed reports and pictures daily. We knew he was in good hands which alleviated a lot of stress for us. She has a good heart and we could tell that she genuinely loves animals. We would highly recommend Jayne if you need a caring, thoughtful person who is willing to go above and beyond to take care of your fur babies.”

About: Cai has been providing in home pet care since she was a teenager and began boarding pets when she started grad school in 2020. Joe has been boarding cats since around 2019 and has began boarding dogs since 2024. My partner and I work from home and provide full time care, meaning that, unless discussed beforehand explicitly, your pet will not be left alone and you can rest easy knowing they have our full attention. We only accept more than one pet at a time if they live in the same house and we are pet free right now, so you dont have to worry about how they might get along with any other animals. We have a fenced in yard for your pup to run around in and we live minutes away from Tower Grove Park where I love to take walks.

About: I have dog sat for multiple people starting when I was about 13. I’ve also worked in a professional setting with dogs of all ages & sizes, as well as taken courses on professional training!! I know more about dogs than you could ever imagine, learning about dogs is my favorite thing to do. I’d love to meet yours! I work full time and during my breaks I like to go home and let my dogs out to go potty as well as top off their water! They have lots of toys and we play allllll the time!! My kitty loves to cuddle and run around with her toys while meowing. We are a very happy bunch! I have two dogs and a cat of my own, they’re all very friendly. One of my dogs is very energetic and the other is extremely submissive. We do not have kennels in our home but I have no issue using them.

About: I used to have two dogs: a German Shepherd and a Pug. I also had two cats. My friend took them in when I moved and I still get to see them regularly. They were the most loving dogs and cats I could have ever asked for. I love animals and will treat your pet like it’s my own! I work from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM on weekdays, but I’m always available after work and on weekends to take care of your pet. I can provide your pet with all the attention they require. I reside in an apartment with ample outdoor space, but I’ll take them for walks whenever necessary.

“We had Mallory stay overnight at our house with our senior Persian. Before her stay, she came over for a meet and greet so everyone felt comfortable. It was apparent that she is a very kind and caring person. During her stay she kept us updated with how things were going and pictures. She cleaned up a couple of puking incidents and let us know that Marigold had in fact puked, had been sneezing and hadn’t had a bowel movement. These updates were truly appreciated and I was relieved she was paying attention to things that seemed out of the ordinary. Marigold routinely potties on potty pads and Mallory kept up with those changings which, in my opinion, is above and beyond kitty care. Additionally, Miss Marigold tends to yowl in the nights as she has aged and has reduced vision in one eye. Mallory was patient with those night time needs and brought her back to bed with her to comfort her. Overall, I appreciate the above and beyond care and I recommend her to anyone who has kitties!”

About: I love all animals. Ive worked in a vet clinic, a PetSmart and an animal shelter. Animals are not seen in pets in my eyes but part of your family. They are very therapeutic and comforting. I'm okay with any breed of dog, mutt or pure bred. I have had multiple breeds of dogs and currently have a hound, cane Corso, and three cats! Working at different locations I have set with any (stubborn) breeds. It brings me joy taking care of animals. They have no voice so we have to be their voice. They give us unconditional love and support so we must return that favor. If you have any questions please feel free to get ahold of me. I'm flexible with hours. Have a good day, and enjoy your companion! I am a stay at home so I have all the time to spend with any babies! Everyone gets a lot of attention, the dogs eat twice a day, cats have food all dat. Water available 24/7 I have a huge yard! We have 9 acres and love animals! I love meeting new animals but I cant bring anymore home! So I shall try and pet sit and walk instead

Amber was wonderful! Our dog can get stressed out when we’re away, and Amber was very understanding and patient with her. Our dog also had some stomach issues while we were gone, and she handled it very well. She communicated the issue promptly and made some tweaks to the feeding schedule to help the dog adjust.

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!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Hilltop

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,220 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 .

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hilltop. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 , 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.
