“It’s quite clear how amazing Christy was with my very spoiled cat. This was my first time using Rover and it was a wonderful experience and I could feel good knowing my baby got lots of playtime and love. Greatly appreciated the daily notes and pictures, I could tell my cat was much calmer and happier then other times I’ve traveled.”

“Whitney was absolutely wonderful with our four cats! They have a few extra needs, including medications and one who needs to be kept separate from the others, and Whitney handled everything so attentively and confidently. She went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for, gave them plenty of attention and pets, and even fixed our microchip feeders when they were giving us trouble. She was incredibly sweet, kind, and communicative throughout her visits, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our cats and their individual needs. We would absolutely hire Whitney again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Dave and Shawna did a great job taking care of our kitties and updating us while we were away. You can tell they’re truly pet lovers!! Dave even made an extra courtesy stop for us to save a decoration that our cats had pushed out to the edge of a ledge, which we had noticed in the background of one of the photos he sent us - we really appreciated it!”

About: I’ve had dogs as pets since I was 6 years old. I’ve had German Shepards, Pugs, Labs, Boxers, puggles and mixed breeds. I love all dogs~ and am currently dog free. I will care for yours as I would my own- like children. 🥰. I’ve had a long career in Human Resources, and with that comes great responsibility, trust and integrity. I have clean background- not even a parking ticket. I enjoy playing with dogs, petting them (maybe some smooches as evidenced in my photos) and giving plenty of love and attention. I can walk dogs, feed them, give medicine, throw a few balls - whatever their favorite activity is just let me know! I have had special needs dogs as well- so special circumstances are not a problem. Thanks!

“Ellen was very responsive, and agreed to check in on our kitties even without much advance knowledge for a holiday weekend. She made a separate trip to run through where the litter boxes and water bowls and treats were so that she was prepared when she was stopping by. We really appreciated her thoroughness!”

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 love helping owners and families feel confident that their dog is happy, safe, and comfortable, whether with me for a daily walk or when entering your home to visit with them. I grew up living with dogs from the age of 5, adopting and caring for 7 dogs over 3+ decades, including my current pup, super senior Arthur. I have experience owning dogs of all ages - puppies to elders, and various sizes - 8 to 60 lbs. I am comfortable working with dogs who are timid, high-energy, or anywhere in between. I also have experience addressing special dietary needs and giving medication. I am a reliable communicator and will keep you informed of your dog's wellbeing with regular updates. I will treat your home and all who live there with respect and kindess. I believe it is a privilege to own, care for, and love a pet, and I have gotten a lot of joy from the dogs in my life over the years. I'm eager to meet yours! I have a part-time, remote work schedule that allows me the flexibility to dictate my own schedule. I rarely have unexpected meetings, appointments, or travel in my schedule. I always ensure that pets - new or known to me - feel comforted and safe in my presence. I match their energy and needs, and lead with calmness when meeting any new animal. I never make assumptions about other peoples' pets and consistently use any feedback or guidelines provided to bring the best care. I err on the side of caution when working with all animals, ensuring that their safety and comfort is paramount, as is my own.

About: Hello, my name is Claire. I have been lucky enough to grow up surrounded by dogs and cats, and have pet sat many times for friends and family. Because of this, I have learned to care for animals at every stage of life. My experience ranges from command and walk training for puppies, to adhering to a regimented medicine routine for senior dogs, to doing daily playtime and pet waste clean-up. I am very tidy, organized, and am happy to adapt to you and your pets' needs. I also love to spend time outside, so I can promise plenty of walks and safe outside time for your pet. I'm excited to meet and care for your furry friend! I am a graduate student at the U of Minnesota, but I will have time outside of class for your dogs. I am most available to stay over on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights, as well as Wednesday and Friday during the day. On weekdays, I will be out for several hours at school in the middle of the day, but will be available for drop in visits or walks during the morning and late afternoon. While I do not offer boarding pets in my home, I am happy to do home visits that adhere to your pets' routine. I will respect what time they typically eat meals, wake up, play, go outside, and walk, as well as where they sleep in your home. I will also ensure that your home is kept clean during my stay.

About: I have always loved being around dogs! I had a pup in my family for about 5 years when I was younger. Other than him I enjoy my family and friend’s dogs. I love taking them out for potty breaks and walks. I have house/dog sat multiple times for my family members. Treats are my love language and I never mind cleaning up accidents! I currently work full time but I get done with my days around noon. My schedule can be flexible if I get noticed ahead of time. I also travel for work. It’s not often but I will give a good heads up! Dogs will always be on a lease with me, unless trusted in a dog park. I take child and others safety seriously when it comes to public interactions.

Thank you so much! The dogs were well cared for and happy! Abigail went above and beyond and carried in two heavy packages for us as well. She did a great job communicating before, during, and after the visits to reassure us that our Pyrenees was getting more comfortable and things were going well.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Hilltop

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hilltop is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $36 per visit. 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.

As of November 2026, there are 5,896 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hilltop. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.

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.
