“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!”
“We are so happy our Bonnie has Sarah to chill with while we're out of town. We enjoy our vacations stress-free because we know Sarah is taking the best care of our girl.”
“Emerson was an amazing sitter for our two girls. I got daily updates, came home to a clean home and didn’t worry one bit while we were away. We came home to two very happy doggos and will definitely book again. Thank you for taking such good care of our girls and making it so easy to enjoy our vacation. We appreciate you!”
“Connie is an incredible house/Cat Sitter. She took care of our kitty like she was her own and did the same with our home.. Every day we got pictures and videos and could tell that Connie was really interacting successfully with our somewhat shy, sweet pet. We could not recommend her more highly! She is a gem!!”
“Stephanie did a great job caring for our pup, Scout! She sent me pictures, kept our home tidy, and was very responsive! We would definitely recommend her to our family and friends. ”
“LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE, Maliah! She's welcome back anytime! Mace absolutely LOVED her and so incredibly happy to have been blessed with this result being a 1st time Rover user! :). THANK YOU!”
“Ashley was an excellent house/dog sitter! Our pup was clearly well taken care of, she spent lots of time playing and walking him. We appreciated the routine updates and she left the house clean and secured. Glad to know we can work with her again!”
“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!”
“Jessica is fantastic. My rather anxious dog took to her right away. I felt so at ease knowing she was watching my cats and my dog. I have nothing but good things to say about her.”
“Sarah was amazing!! I have two very big dogs that both weigh 140 and she handled them perfectly. Highly recommend if you have any big dogs and need someone who can deal with that.”
“Ciboney was responsive and attentive to our two older dogs. One of them does get stressed easily, and she was kind and patient with them. She was respectful of our home and left everything tidy and clean. Will be rebooking!”
“My animals (2 dogs and a crabby cat) loved Carolyn. In fact she came over a few days after I returned and the were so excited to see her. They definitely got a lot of attention. She sent lots of pictures which I really appreciated and communicated everyday on how their day was going. I appreciated her taking good care of my fur babies.”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hilltop
I can't say enough good things about Juli. She is so caring and accomodating. We do hotel stays in Minneapolis and it means a lot to have someone I can trust in a city that isn't home. She has a great demeanor for my nervous boy and awesome communication i love getting pics so I don't have to worry.
Emily walked our 2-year old dog Gracie for a week, when we were unable to do so due to a medical issue and out of town travel. Emily took over, walking Gracie twice a day. She was professional, punctual and perfect for our rescue dog. I would recommend Emily to anyone who needs quiet, firm attention for their dog. Thanks, Emily! Christopher, Ann and Gracie
Madeline had great communication. She regularly sent updates, asked questions, and took initiative to resolve issues that happened during the stay (upset doggy stomach). The pups were happy and our house was in as good of condition as we left it in. She even threw the guest sheets in the wash before she departed. We would definitely use her again!
This is the second time Abigail has dog sat for our two boys and I will happily book her again! She sent pics everyday and we totally trusted and appreciated her judgement to adjust outside time/walks based on the horrible heat and air quality. We know the dogs are in good hands with her!!
Anna did a great job taking care of my dog Maddie! After plans changed last minute, I was looking for someone to dog sit in my home 4th of July weekend and Anna responded right away. I received updates and pictures/videos of her playing with Maddie. I felt comfortable with her in my home and I would book with Anna again.
Jennifer took great care of our dogs while we were gone and our house. Dogs were happy when we returned house was cleaned up. Jennifer sent pictures and updates to us a few times a day. Would definitely ask her to watch our pups again if we have need thanks Jennifer for taking good care of our canine family members while we were gone!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hilltop
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hilltop on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,492 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.

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.
