“Dennis did an amazing job checking in with Ruby Sue- it was her first time ever having someone drop by without us there, and he made us and Ruby feel at ease! We are grateful for the meet and greet he offered prior to the scheduled visit, and the time he took to get to know Ruby as well as understand potential behavioural tendencies she could display. He took the time to read instructions we had provided, and sent details and pictures of the visit, which were very reassuring. Ruby seems to have enjoyed her time with Dennis and felt comfortable around him- we would definitely consider his services again!”
“I had an amazing experience with Dylan. He took exceptional care of my cat for almost three weeks, and I could immediately tell how well Balam had been looked after. Balam was calm, happy, and completely stress‑free when I returned — which says everything about the quality of care he received. My home was spotless, and Dylan even watered my plants without me asking, which was such a thoughtful surprise. He was respectful, attentive, and clearly very responsible. I truly appreciate the care and consideration he put into everything. I will definitely be booking with him again. Highly recommended”
“Outstanding service. The communication was excellent throughout the entire booking, and I always felt informed and at ease. My puppy is usually very skittish and anxious with new people, they approached her with patience, confidence, and a gentle demeanor that made all the difference. I’m extremely grateful and would absolutely book again.”
“Christina was reliable, communicative, and always on time for her daily visits. She took the time to understand all of our cats’ routines and care instructions, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. During each visit, she engaged with the cats, played with them, and made sure they were well cared for. We appreciated the updates and clear communication throughout. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable cat sitter.”
“Sheila was able to accommodate us with a last min drop in for our pup. Pictures and a message on how he was doing was perfect! Gordie is looking forward to his week long stay with Sheila very soon :)”
“This was the third time Amber has cared for our two cats while we were out of town, and once again, she did an amazing job. She provided daily updates with photos, which gave us peace of mind and showed just how well our cats were being looked after. It's always such a relief knowing they're in great hands — and coming home to happy, relaxed cats is the best feeling. We’ll definitely continue using Amber’s services and highly recommend her!”
“Arjun did a great job dropping in to play and look after Ruby Sue! He took our last minute request and even squeezed in a meet and greet, listening to all our instructions and suggestions attentively, which put us at ease. Ruby can be an anxious girl and selective with strangers, and she warmed up to Arjun right away. She can also be high energy and he knew exactly how to manage her energy levels and provide the right level of attention and care- the updates and pictures during the drop in were appreciated! We would be happy to use his services again.”
About: I've had the opportunity to care for several dogs over the years, and have enjoyed welcoming friends' pets into my home. Since the passing of my own dog, I have started pet-sitting casually for friends, and am now seeking to widen my client base. I am conscientious and seek to get to know each dog's unique personality and needs. I'm currently available all day to care for your pet. I have flexible pickup and drop-off hours. I can provide multiple walks per day and frequent bathroom breaks. I have a fully fenced backyard, and live in a bright, open house with plenty of space for play and rest. Note that I live on the second level of a house with stairs only access - dogs must be able to do the stairs to come in and out!
“Olivia was so incredible with our pup, Letty. It put our mind at ease that Olivia was dropping in to visit Letty twice. She kept us updated and followed instructions really well. Based on the photos we received, we could tell that Letty really enjoyed her time with Olivia. I have no doubt that we will contact Olivia in the near future to help us again. Thanks Olivia!”
“Very happy with how flexible and accommodating Lyna has been. We needed help a last minute drop-in for my Grandma’s 95th birthday and she was able to come feed and exercise our pups! We highly recommend her services!”
“Melina took care of my cats this week while we were away and couldn’t be more pleased with the daily updates and love that my kitties received in our absence. I would definitely use Melina again in a heart beat ❤️”
“Supada looked after our kitties over the holidays. As usual, she was outstanding - she always makes going away so easy because we know our kitties are in great hands.”
“Nick did a great job taking care of my cat and dog for a week. Even with them not being used to being with a stranger for an extended period of time, they warmed up to him quickly and really enjoyed his company.”
About: Hi, I’m Polly. I’m an experienced dog walker who genuinely enjoys getting to know each dog’s personality. I focus on calm, structured, and safe walks. I pay close attention to body language, pacing, and surroundings so your dog feels comfortable and understood. I’m especially mindful with dogs who may be nervous or need a bit more attention. You’ll always get updates and photos so you know how your dog is doing. I’m a freelancer with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for morning, midday, and afternoon walks. If you have specific timing needs, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. I always follow your dog’s routine closely, including feeding, walk style, cues, and any specific instructions. On walks, I use secure equipment, stay aware of surroundings, and keep a safe distance from unfamiliar dogs when needed. Your dog’s safety always comes first.

We can't say enough good things about Emma! She’s been walking our two dogs, Charlie and Pippen, twice a week and handles them beautifully. Emma is consistently great to work with. She is experienced and very skilled at walking two dogs together on separate leashes. Charlie and Pippen always return happy and well-exercised. We have complete peace of mind when Emma is caring for our girls, and we will definitely be using her for all our future pet sitting and dog walking needs.
Outstanding service. The communication was excellent throughout the entire booking, and I always felt informed and at ease. My puppy is usually very skittish and anxious with new people, they approached her with patience, confidence, and a gentle demeanor that made all the difference. I’m extremely grateful and would absolutely book again.
Britney took very good care of Misha (our cat) when we were away! She was very professional, friendly and provided updates every visit with pics of our cat! She responded promptly to my messages. I would definitely get her help again when we go away. She was a pleasure to work with!! Thanks so much Britney!!
This was our 4th time working with Sue to take care of our two kitties, and it won't be the last! She is the best petsitter we have ever had. She is extremely caring, amazing with her communications and updates, and even went out of her way to make sure the cats were okay in hot weather. She is incredible!!!
Lisa took care of our cat Winston for us while we were away. He can be a very rambunctious cat and finding someone who was very clearly comfortable with cats like Lisa is was very important to us. We go lots of pictures and videos and we’re really able to enjoy our time away knowing he was in good hands!
Rachael was absolutely incredible! She stepped in to care for our pets during an unexpectedly long period while we dealt with surgery, and she went above and beyond in every way. Her flexibility, reliability, and genuine love for our cats gave us total peace of mind. It was clear our cats adored her, and that meant everything to us. We’re so grateful for her help and would recommend her without hesitation …truly outstanding!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 2,450 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Hamilton. About 86% of Hamilton sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Hamilton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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 Hamilton 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!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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.
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.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

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.
