About: I have had extensive experience house and pet sitting and I really enjoy it. My experience includes cats, fish, and dogs of all sizes including a pug that is paralyzed from the waist down and needs special care. I love animals but can't have one of my own quite yet, so let me help you care for yours! I would love to walk, play, care and give love to your pet. I am friendly, responsible and easygoing. I am comfortable with dogs of different temperaments and pets with different levels of care needed. I grew up with both dogs and cats and have also worked briefly on a ranch, making me comfortable with large animals as well. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
About: Animals are my preferred best friends. I grew up on a small farm and had animals everywhere! Newborn puppies to senior dogs were always in my life. My family raised Labrador's, horses, cows, pigs and chickens so I am not stranger to animal care. Currently my husband and I have a 9-year-old black Labrador named Charlie and he loves everyone and every pup. Most of days are spent at home so I can spend tons of time with your baby. If you need me to stay in your home, I am there for you and will love on your pets like they were my own. Maybe you just need a day care for your pup while you explore the area? We have a secure fenced yard and, in the summer, kiddie pools for your pooch to cool off. Your fur babies will be well taken care of, lots of love and belly rubs. We have access to miles of trails just across the street so if your pup needs more activity we can hike and have miles of fun. I can even assist in rides to and from the airport, ask me the details. Welcome! I work part time and can manage most dates to take care of your pup. My schedule stays up to date and will confirm any requests after you contact me. Your pup will be able to roam in our home and our fenced back yard. Our couch is their couch. They are allowed on the bed or if they prefer to sleep on a dog bed or maybe they are right at home in their crate. I live next to several open fields, parks and hiking trails to enjoy.
“Unfortunately we had to cancel last minute because my daughter died that day. Sandra was very understanding. I will definitely book with her in the future. We had a meet and greet and we were extremely impressed with her. We felt confident leaving our fur babies with her.”
“Kristina and winter are awesome. Kristina understood the assignment of working dogs and killed it. Good communication, problem solver, and the dogs were still alive when I returned. Winter provided a job for Siouxxsie and Saxxon which kept them busy looking out for him. Definitely a keeper house sitting duo”

FAQs for House Sitting - Hilt
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 191 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hilt. 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 Hilt 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 Hilt 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 Hilt 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.
