“Olivia took wonderful care of our dog, an energetic two-year old pup. She did a wonderful job of staying in touch with me with questions. I would definitely ask her to care for our dog in the future!”
“Katherine did a great job with my dogs! I really appreciate her staying at my place and keeping it nice and clean. :) Would definitely book with her again! :)”
“Ciboney did a great job taking care of our not so friendly feline and our very friendly Australian shepherd. She did a wonderful job keeping us in the loop about what was happening on the home front with pictures and updates. We have already booked her for our next trip.”
“My partner and I would absolutely hire Emerson again. He was on time, professional, and Jelly took to him instantly. Throughout our trip, he communicated regularly and was incredibly patient with Jelly, especially when she was testing him in the beginning. He won her over quickly, and from that point on, the entire stay went smoothly. We never had to worry about Jelly—she was clearly in good hands. Emerson followed every instruction, so there were no accidents or issues. When our flight was delayed, he reassured us without hesitation that he could stay longer and continue caring for her, which was such a relief. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. What stood out most was how laser‑focused he was on Jelly’s needs and his demeanour was kind and compassionate. That’s exactly what we needed, and he delivered it with care and professionalism.”
“Sofia is very sweet and respectful. She communicates well, and cares about your pets. She sent pictures and kept me up to date on what was going on. She gave meds on time and sat with the pugs to comfort them. I will definitely want to have her stay anytime we have to leave our babies home.”
“Abby is truly the best! She’s our favorite sitter. The pets are always so calm when we get home, and our house is super clean. She totally puts our mind at ease about traveling.”
“Our two pups loved Tierney. She overcame their anxious door barking finding a way to their hearts: outlasting Zaylee’s car hesitancy to take her (and her brother) to a favorite park, walking them around the neighborhood and spending the night with them to build comfort them while we were away. Great experience!”
“Rachel took wonderful care of our dog Timmy! We were given daily updates, some super cute photos and knew he was in good hands. He doesn’t like when we’re away; he food strikes. But she even got him to eat a little bit! She took him on daily walks and got him out and about. Thank you Rachel for taking great care of him for us!”
“Rebecca took excellent care of our pup and house while we were on a 2-week vacation. Our dog was so happy and content, she hardly noticed when we arrived back home. And our house was every bit a clean and today as we left it. I highly recommend!!”
About: I've always had a love for animals and caring for others! I grew up with dogs, spent my summers on a farm helping care for animals, and have had cats in my family for many years. I also regularly care for my four children's pets and house sit when they're away. Caring for others has truly been a lifelong passion of mine. I'm a proud mom of four and grandma to seven wonderful grandchildren! I owned and operated a daycare for 15 years, have worked as a paraprofessional in schools, and have experience caring for elderly individuals. I'm naturally patient, nurturing, dependable, and love making others feel comfortable and cared for. I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your furry family members. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I'll give your pets the same love, attention, and care I would give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for pet care! I enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and caring for animals. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, and I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet's needs. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pets and your home. With years of experience caring for animals and others, I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to individual needs. I've also spent many years professionally cleaning homes and office buildings, so I take pride in treating people's homes with care and respect. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow their usual routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I'll keep your home clean and tidy, follow any special instructions, and provide updates so you can feel confident your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I’ve grown up with animals in the house and on the farm my entire life, from small dachshunds to chow chows to large hunting labs. We’ve had very rascal puppies, young high energy dogs, and very senior dogs on medications and needing special attention. I’ve house sat all sizes of dogs, from terriers and corgis to golden retrievers, as well as cats, both friendly and standoff-ish. Growing up with animals in the house, I know firsthand that pets aren’t pets, they are family, you love them dearly, when they get sick you clean up after them, and they make the world go round. I love pets that are very involved with everyday life (see my photos) of pets “helping” with homework, regular walks and play time, and bedtime snuggles, as well as pets that are in their own world and coexistence works best. I work full-time outside the house, M-F, so I’m mainly looking for weekends and overnights. I’m able to check-in on my lunch breaks when needed, and happy to do so. I grew up in the country and our dogs roamed free, while most animals that I’ve house sat have fenced in yards, so regular walks and active play is necessary. I’m used to animals both being left to roam the house or be crated during the day. I’m a pretty active person and my animals are active parts of my life, so if your pet enjoys people and is able-bodied, we’ll probably be going on lots of walks, finding nearby parks, eating meals together, and snuggling up to watch a movie. No one is allowed to meet your animal unless there is prior approval, especially no other animals unless yours is friendly and willing. I (unfortunately) have experience with animals getting sick, jumping a fence and going for a run, and unfriendly dogs coming close. I recognize these are all unwanted, however very possible, and having experience navigating and handling these often stressful situations, is needed to keep your animal safe and comfortable. I take every precaution to mitigate these risks, and have learned from my own animals and their mischievery.
“Sergio did a wonderful job house sitting and taking care of all 4 of our pets. He was responsive, kept us up to date with videos and pics, and if anything happened that we needed to be aware of. When we got home the house was just as we left it, no messes, no old food or dirty dishes, even took the trash/recycling out, and shoveled the sidewalk and driveway (partially, it's a big driveway) from a snowstorm that happened. We'll definitely be asking him to house & pet sit for us in the future.”
“Despite the difficulty of my anxious dog, Geneva was very attentive and kept me informed throughout the day. She was very patient with my does needs and did a great job taking care of them.”
“Peggy watched our two doodles in our home for a week while we were out of town, and she was excellent. Communication was prompt and informative, and she sent daily photos of the pups with a quick summary of how the day went. The house was clean and put together when we got home. I would definitely recommend Peggy to anyone looking for a safe, reliable pet-sitter!”
About: I have had pets most of my life. I've experienced the highs and lows of loving another critter. I would love the opportunity to be a positive for your critter, pup, or cat while you are away. I will provide loving care and attention to your loved ones. I am an elementary teacher. I am able to travel to your location before work (7am) and after work (3pm) most week days and available for weekend beginning Friday at 3pm until I have a large 4' and 5' fenced yard with trees on a nice corner lot. Lots of space for running, playing, and lounging in the shade or bathing in in sunlight.
“Brandon was amazing watching our 3 doggos for the weekend! He was communicative and sent photos each day. He even made sure our dudes had fun in the sun and got their pool out. Could not recommend enough!”
“Hands down, this was one of our best pet sitting experiences! First of all, her communication prior to every meeting/obligation was fantastic. Exceeded expectations. Always on time fir in person commitments. Secondly, she was fantastic with our dogs. Sent us pictures, walked them regularly. Lastly, she took out our garbage, brought in packages and left our house in better shape than she found it. I would without hesitation seek out her services in the future. You can’t put a price on peace of mind while being away from your pets. She exceeded our expectations at every turn. Thank you!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hilltop
Angelica is an EXCELLENT dog sitter!!!! We booked her for house sitting for a week while we were on vacation. She gave great, detailed updates and pictures and I knew my dog was in great hands with her. I would recommend her to others and I would definitely book her again!
Sarah is fantastic. Our normally shy dog, Cricket, immediately warmed up to her. Our little lover, Birdie, couldn't get enough of her. Cricket is a bit on the higher-maintenance side, requiring meds and a little more TLC—we're often nervous about leaving her, but felt confident putting both of them in Sarah's care. We returned from a 10-day trip to a clean home and happy pups.
Maliah-Mae is amazing! She sent us photos throughout her stay and walked are dog even though the weather didn't always cooperate. Our house was in great shape after we returned as well. I recommend if you have a need for house/petting sitting you should book Maliah-Mae. We will work with her again in the future.
Madeline stayed in my home with my cat, Juan, for 10 days, and she was amazing! Juan really bonded with her, and her communication was top-notch throughout my trip. When he stopped eating for a couple of days, she let me know immediately, spoke with the vet clinic, restarted some of his medications, and picked up different food options. Thanks to her attentiveness and interventions, she was able to get him eating again. I came home to a tidy house and clean bedding. I will definitely have Madeline care for Juan again!
Kevin was great! We had him house/pet sit for 5 days, and he took great care of our 3 dogs and our kitty. He sent us regular updates, made sure our dogs got regular walks each day, which gave us a lot of relief to relax during our vacation, and all our animals seemed to love him! We will definitely book with him again in the future and definitely recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hilltop is $60 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hilltop. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
