“Brooklyn was the best and took such good care of our pups! She bought our dogs toys, took them for walks, and sent updates everyday with lots of pictures. I would highly recommend her!”
“Hailey was great! Our pup is a nervous wreck. Of course she pouted for half the day because we were gone. Hailey gave her space and we received an abundance of pictures and updates! Lainey loved her and we will be using her for any other times we need as Lainey is now comfortable with her!!”
“Hannah was great. She sent lots of pictures and videos which we loved cuz we missed our fur babies. Keeping in touch and knowing everything was good made our trip so much more enjoyable. Will definitely use her again!”
“Kelsey was the absolute sweetest. She came prior to my trip to meet my two cats so she could learn a little about them and my apartment before hand! Kelsey watched them over a holiday weekend where I assumed there would be lots of commotion and fireworks in our area and she was very communicative in reassuring me that the cats were safe. She sent me photos of the cats every night and they looked so so happy! In addition to all of these amazing things, we came home to our apartment fully cleaned even tho we told her no cleaning was necessary. Kelsey really helped to alleviate the anxiety of traveling and leaving your pets at home for me!”
About: I’ve cared for newborn puppies on multiple occasions, so I’m no stranger to tiny paws and big responsibility. I bring patience, love, and plenty of cuddles to every pet I care for. Caring for pets is part of my normal day-to-day life. I enjoy building my routine around their needs, whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or extra cuddle time. My own pets are cared for with a mix of routine, enrichment, and lots of love (okay… maybe a little spoiling). I stay attentive to their needs, moods, and habits, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I sit.
“Great experience overall! He was responsive, easy to communicate with, and very nice to meet. Our home was well taken care of and left clean, and the pets were happy when we returned. Would definitely consider booking again.”
“Ashley did a great job watching our pups. Communication was fantastic… pics and texts, as we’d discussed up front. She even checked on our chickens when the weather became unseasonably warm! Thanks Ashley!”
About: I have primarily pet sat for cat owners over the past 6 years, but have at least 15 years of experience in owning multiple medium size dogs. I am well accustomed to large breed dogs as well as smaller breeds and love to sit for multiple at a time! I currently work full time in Eden Park, so as long as your home is within 30 minutes of my drive to work I can stop home at my lunch to let them outside. Otherwise, they will be let out immediately following me getting there. I care for pets as if they were my own. I ensure they are supervised as well as loved and cared for in the time I am there. My full attention is on your pets and their needs.

I'm currently available for daily care for you pets! Time to care and play with any type of pet, not only dogs and cats! I offer house sitting services as well as pet care so your pets can stay comfortable in their own environment. I can be there to water plants while playing with your pet!
“I cannot say enough good things about Alyssa and Eve, our amazing pet sitters! From the moment they arrived to the moment we landed back safely in Cincinnati, they exceeded our expectations in every way. Their communication was exceptional, keeping us constantly updated with messages and loads of pictures. They stayed at our home and maintained everything wonderfully, showing incredible love and kindness to our three pets, each with their own unique personalities. One of our dogs is particularly anxious and doesn't handle change or thunderstorms well. Alyssa and Eve took special care of him, even turning on purple lighting and playing calming music to help him relax and cuddle. This thoughtful touch made a world of difference for our stressed pup. Our home was treated as if it were their own, and their attention to detail and respect for our space was evident. They spent time outside playing with the dogs, ensuring they got plenty of exercise and fun. They also made special time to play with our cat, ensuring every pet felt loved and attended to. Both Alyssa and Eve dedicated their days and evenings to our pets, providing them with constant companionship and care. Their dedication, compassion, and professionalism have truly set them apart. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such wonderful pet sitters and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of exceptional pet care.”
“Jacqueline was great! She provided updates and pictures on a daily basis of my dog. I could tell he was having a fantastic time with her and was being loved on. He was ridiculously excited to see her again when she stopped by the next day to pick up something she forget.”

“Emma is amazing! She cared for our girl like she was her own and helped us out on short notice. Our dog has separation anxiety and was right at home with Emma. We hope to have her back again soon.”
“Misty was great and Luna was safe and secure, happy and healthy when I arrived home. Finding a dog sitter on Memorial Day seemed like an impossible request so imagine my surprise when she accepted, arrived and did a great job. I highly recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hilltop
This was our second time using her, and once again she exceeded every expectation. Not only does she take the most wonderful photos and updates of our pets while we're away, but we always come home to a spotless house. This stay was especially stressful for us because we're in the middle of selling our home and received a showing request while we were gone. She went completely above and beyond by making sure the house was show ready and handling things that were well beyond what I would ever expect from a pet sitter. Most importantly, our pets absolutely adore her, which gives us so much peace of mind when we're away. It's rare to find someone who cares for your home and animals as if they were her own. We would absolutely use her again if we can before moving, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. Your home and your pets will be in great hands!
Brooklyn was amazing! She watched our dog on very short notice and made the entire process so easy. She responded quickly, was friendly and kind from the start, and even came to pick up our dog, which was a huge help. We felt comfortable leaving our dog in her care, and she kept us updated throughout the stay. We would definitely book with Brooklyn if we ever visit this town again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hilltop
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 677 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hilltop. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Hilltop walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Hilltop maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Hilltop choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hilltop. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
