“Ron took great care of our dogs over a five day period during a busy holiday season. His drop-in visits occurred in the schedule we had requested, and he managed the daily walks we had asked for in addition to the regular feeding, watering, and backyard visits. With all the real-time notices of his visits, and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip. Great experience!”
“Mackenzie helped us out when we needed her most - she is super responsive and did a great job watching and walking our little Rowan. He's been a very happy pup since getting a break at lunchtime! Thanks Mackenzie!”
“This was our first time ever hiring a pet sitter so we didn’t quite know what to expect. We picked Lindsay based on her profile and reviews and we liked that she lived really close. We met her and immediately knew that she would be great with our two cats and dog. They all immediately took to her as well which was a great sign! We only did a two day one night trip but we will definitely look forward to having Lindsay watch our pets again! She communicated how they were doing and sent lots of great pictures. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our pets while we were able to go on a quick trip. Looking forward to longer trips in the future and I’ll know that our pets are in great hands!”
“Lori was amazing with my dog and 2 cats, one of which is extremely moody and temperamental, and I was able to enjoy being away from home knowing the animals were in great hands. Thanks so much!”
“Kylee was a WONDERFUL Rover sitter! She was on time based on our agreement every day, she treated my pup like her own, and sent the best pictures! I will definitely book her again! (Once Coronavirus allows me to get back to business as usual).”
“I cannot say enough great things about Marlee. She was so thorough and took absolutely excellent care of our cat while we were away. Our cat Jefferson is terribly afraid of everyone and hides under the couch at the sight of anyone new but she came out and let Marlee pet her!!! Marlee gave us complete peace of mind while we were gone and went completely above and beyond. We could not be happier or recommend her enough. Thank you, Marlee!”
“Jennifer was great! She came over once a day to feed the cat and clean the litter box. I got lots of updates and photos. It was nice to get messages from someone who enjoyed hanging out with my cat.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for both small and large dogs, as well as cats. I’ve also worked with many animals through volunteer work and grew up spending time around animals on farms. Whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, playing, or simply spending quality time together, I approach every animal with patience, care, and respect. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adjust my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for weekday and weekend visits and can often accommodate mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day. I genuinely love being around animals, so pet care is something I enjoy fitting into my everyday routine. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m respectful of your home and your pet’s normal routine, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I grew up with a miniature beagle and now our family has two tuxedo cats. I love all cats and dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I work from home and have flexibility to care for cats and dogs. I also have three daughters that love cats and dogs as well. I also like to run and would love running or walking dogs. I am very friendly with dogs in cats in the client's home. I like to scratch them and make them feel loved and safe. I also like to walk/run with dogs and play with both dogs and cats.
“This is the second time we have used Valerie. She communicates with us and we never have a concern that our kitties are played with and cared for by Valerie. We will definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Sophie watched our dog again, and she was fantastic as always. Our dog absolutely loves her and is always so happy to see her. Sophie is reliable, caring, and treats our dog like she’s her own. We feel lucky to have someone we can trust with our sweet girl.”
“Lauren was so great with our sweet boy! We appreciate how flexible she was with us and how comfortable she made our boy while we were gone! Thank you Lauren!! I know we will be reaching back out in the future!”
“Vanessa was awesome! We only booked a drop in, but she helped us out a lot when we needed our girls to be taken potty while we were out of town for the day. Thank you again! We’ll definitely rebook in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and I have over 8 years of hands-on pet care experience. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 16 and love giving walks, playtime, cuddles, and consistent routines. I care for every dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy!!! While I’m in classes during the day, my evenings are very flexible and focused on pet care. I prioritize consistent routines, long walks, and quality time, and I’m especially available in the evenings and on weekends for dependable, loving care! I care for pets in their own home, following their regular routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and I’m always happy to send updates and photos!
About: Lifelong Animal Lover with Advanced Care Experience I grew up surrounded by both dogs and cats, and my life has always revolved around animal companionship. I don't just love pets; I understand them deeply. Because I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits (up to 3 times a day), my focus is entirely on providing structured, safe, and attentive care right in your pet's familiar environment. Expert Medical & Senior Pet Care I have extensive, hands-on experience managing complex care for pets of all life stages, including disabled senior animals. If your pet has specialized needs, they are in highly capable hands. I am fully confident and experienced with: Administering oral medications, pill hiding, and precise schedules. Managing advanced medical treatments, including injectables and subcutaneous (Sub-Q) fluids. Assisting pets with mobility aids, harnesses, and specialized diets. Managing senior pet hygiene, including diaper changes and cleanup. Understanding Behavioral Quirks & Big Personalities As a proud owner of two large bully breeds—one who manages severe anxiety and reactivity, and another a rescue recovering from past neglect—I understand that not every dog is a textbook "easy" walker. I am trained in patience, hyper-vigilant environmental awareness, and reading subtle animal body language to keep your reactive, fearful, or strong pup safe on walks. My home is also run by three incredible cats ranging from 3 to 10 years old (including an aloof kitty, a social butterfly, and a sweet disabled cat requiring extra patience). Having previously rehabilitated a rescue cat who became disabled with age, I know exactly how to respect a feline's boundaries while ensuring their needs are met. Whether your cat wants a high-energy play session, gentle grooming, or just a quiet human presence to keep them company, I adapt entirely to their mood. Because I work from home full-time, my schedule is highly flexible and reliable. I am available throughout the day to accommodate your pet's specific routine, offering dog walking and drop-in visits anywhere from 1 to 3 times a day. Here is how my lifestyle benefits you and your pet: Punctual & Consistent Timing: Since I am not tied to a rigid office commute, I can visit your pet at their preferred times for meals, medication, or potty breaks. Mid-Day Break Specialists: I am readily available for lunch-time walks to break up the day for high-energy dogs, puppies, or senior pets who cannot hold it for long. Rapid Emergency Response: Working locally from home means I am never far away. If your pet has a sudden change in schedule or an urgent need, I can adapt quickly. Your peace of mind is my top priority. I treat every animal with the same meticulous care, patience, and fierce love that I give to my own unique fur family. Here is what I bring to every walk or drop-in visit: Frequent Photo & Video Updates: My camera roll is already completely full of my own pets. You can expect detailed, visual updates during every single visit so you know your pet is thriving. Proactive Dog Safety: I bring hyper-vigilant environmental awareness, patience, and deep knowledge of subtle animal body language to every walk. This ensures your reactive, fearful, or strong pup stays completely safe. Customized Cat Care: I know exactly how to respect a feline's boundaries while ensuring their needs are met. Whether your cat wants a high-energy play session, gentle grooming, or just a quiet human presence, I adapt entirely to their mood.
“Becky was a lifesaver with a last minute request! This was our first experience using Rover and we feel so lucky to have found Becky. We enjoyed the updates during her visits and returned home to 2 very well cared for doggos. She even brought in our mail! ?”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mission Hills
Sharon was very professional. We had a thorough meet and greet where she took detailed notes and met the fur babies. Her check-ins were thorough and detailed and the animals seemed genuinely taken with her. Excellent work overall. I would highly recommend her.
Lindsay did a fantastic job looking after my two kitties, one of which needs insulin shots twice a day! Her communication was impeccable, which gave me peace of mind during my long 20 day absence. She was also quick to reach out for instruction & helpful in suggesting solutions when a couple of issues came up around the home that needed attention. Lindsay is reliable, friendly & trustworthy. I recommend her 100% & will definitely use her services again in the future!
Ron is fantastic! Great communication, 100% reliable, and the dogs love him. When we leave them in Ron’s care (several scheduled drop-in visits a day), we can relax and enjoy our time away without having to wonder for even a moment whether the pets are okay. This kind of peace of mind is priceless!
Absolute perfection! Crissy watched my two kittens for 3 weeks and I could not have asked for a better Rover experience. I’m so grateful for the peace of mind she afforded me while traveling - via consistent updates and wonderful photos that showed how happy and relaxed my kittens were. Crissy was great and super prompt with communication. I will absolutely be booking again and cannot recommend her highly enough! 5/5 stars!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Mission Hills is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $24 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 October 2026, there are 2,799 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mission Hills. 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 Mission Hills. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
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.
