Jill did an amazing job! I’m so happy I was able to book her to do drop-in visits with my two cats. She also sent me some great photos of my boys as well. Thanks so much for your help!

About: Aside from my own fur babies - friends, family, and neighbors have often trusted and called upon me to ensure their pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know each one and provide the individualized care they deserve. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure you have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is for every pet to feel comfortable, happy, and loved from the moment we meet. I can accommodate any almost arrangement. I’m an independent contractor package delivery driver so I have plenty of flexibility when it comes to bookings. I will follow your requests, and make sure to keep your regular routine in mind while you are away so that your pets are as happy. I will maintain a safe comfortable enviornment, and keep you updated along the way.

About: I provide care for cats only. I grew up with kittens and cats at all times, and I have two adopted cats of my own. I will befriend them at any home I visit. I am a homemaker with lots of flexibility in my daily schedule. Taking time to visit your pet is no issue for me, and actually adds some fun to my day! I will always let the cat be comfortable. If that means petting and cuddles, I will jump at the opportunity. But if comfort means allowing space, that’s ok, too! (But I’m also happy to bribe with treats 😉)

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.

I am fully devoted to taking care of animals fir the time being. My schedule is flexible. I understand plans come up last minute so short notice shouldn't be a problem! I am very interactive with animals as I believe this is how they feel loved. I will tend to any special needs they may have!

Kaylee was so wonderful with our senior cat, Holly! Holly already misses her. ☺️ We knew she would be the perfect fit at the meet-and-greet when shy Holly came out from under the bed to eat treats from Kaylee's hand. Kaylee is very kind and patient with animals. Holly was given playtime, brushing, and treats daily along with her dry food and prescription wet food. Kaylee sent photos and videos every single day at the end each pet-sitting check-in. Her communication was consistent and excellent, allowing us to truly relax when we were on vacation. It gave us reassurance knowing that Kaylee was enjoying her time with our cat and that Holly warmed up to her so quickly. When we got home, we couldn't believe how clean everything looked! Kaylee also brought in our mail and followed all of our instructions for Holly. We will definitely hire Kaylee again without hesitation! She truly has a heart for cats and other animals, and for people too!

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!

This was our second time with Alex, they did an excellent job with our kitty and my guinea pig! Our kitty is pretty shy but after a few visits she started to warm up to them. Now our kitty can get snuggles when we are gone, especially when she's picky on who she likes.

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.

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.

Emily was wonderful!! This was our first time leaving Ricky (a cat) home alone. I was worried he would be lonely or upset when we returned. He was happy everyday to see Emily and she sent me some great photos that captured Ricky's personality . Ricky was happy to see us and waiting by the back door to greet us when we got home. I highly recommend Emily she is a sweetheart!

Andy was an amazing dog sitter, and we couldn't be happier with the care he provided for our boys. From the moment we left, we knew they were in great hands. He kept us updated, made sure they were well cared for, and treated them like they were his own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while we were away. We came home to relaxed, happy dogs, which says everything about the quality of care Andy provided. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely great with animals, we highly recommend Andy. Thank you for taking such great care of our boys!

Nicole was available on a days notice and despite being anxious about the drop ins because she and my dog had never met, she kept me informed during drop ins which helped ease my anxiety. Definitely plan to use her in the future.

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 Drop-In Visits - Hilltop

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 1,211 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:

  • 95% 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.
