“Karen did a wonderful job watching our three cats and sent so many great photos and updates, which we really appreciated. She is responsive and conscientious, and comes across as a very gentle and caring person. Thanks again Karen!”
“Ivy was wonderful. Super responsive, took great care of our fur baby and our home! I got fun pictures of walks and play time while we were away. We will book with her again and again!”
“Lauryn did an amazing job caring for our dog and sitting our house. She was highly communicative and clearly cared about our dog’s well being, going above and beyond to make sure she was well cared for. We will absolutely try to book her again in the future!”
“Amy was absolutely lovely. She took such great care of our pups and our house. The dogs loved her. She also brought in our packages that were delivered! She sent pics throughout her stay which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Amy and will be using her services again!”
“Michael made our pup with extreme separation anxiety feel comfortable. He obviously has a love of dogs and we are delighted to have found him. He was very punctual and communicated very well about arrival times and his availability. I would highly recommend him.”
“Abby was amazing with our animals! She stayed with them for 10 days while we were out of the country and in every picture she sent, all of our animals looked happy and relaxed and were snuggled up with her :) She also handled our large, anxious pit bull mix super well and he seemed very comfortable with her! She kept our home very clean. I would highly recommend her services and will definitely be reaching out to her for our future sitting needs. Thanks Abby!”
“Yareli is wonderful! She was so sweet with my recently adopted dog, and he loves her. She was super communicative with updates and pictures and she took great care of him. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets, and I’ll definitely be asking her to watch mine again, too!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner all my life, caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. There are 2 dogs - 1 poodle and 1 goldendoodle, and 1 cat in my home currently. I’ve lived with and cared for pit bulls, labs, small dogs, and very large dogs. Truly, I would love nothing more than to spend my days caring for your pets in whatever capacity they require. I’m up for any situation and down for any challenge your furry friend can throw at me. I’m currently working part time doing gig work and freelance creative work so I have plenty of free time to make your pets a priority! I will care for your pets in your home as if they were my own pets in my home. That means I will have the utmost respect for your space, and your pets will have my undivided attention to tend to their needs.
“We highly recommend Brittni for pet/house sitting! She took wonderful and loving care of our two rambunctious dogs and bunnies while we were on vacation. We will definitely ask for her again.”
“Jada did a phenomenal job watching our two dogs! She provided thorough and timely updates every day, and she truly put me at ease knowing our dogs were in good hands. Couldn’t ask for a better dogsitter!”
“Melissa was an excellent communicator and easy to work with. She took great care of our dog and our home while we were away. Would 100% work with her again and highly recommend.”
About: I had three rescue dogs of my own, two have since passed but we have taken my MILs dog since her passing so we have two dogs currently and three cats! I love animals and have been caring for them since I was a child growing up and always having a pet to care for made me very dependable and well mannered when it comes to training. I am experienced with animal rehabilitation and am comfortable with all animals but do have two young children in the home. Dogs that stay with us will have a designated heated and cooled space to sleep in. I am home all day during the day, am able to let animals out at any time as I have a large fenced in yard. We have cameras and a covered deck as well for complete safety and security for the animals. I am available for stop in visits, walking or general care. I work from home so am available to care for my children and pets. I have a flexible work schedule and am able to adjust it to meet my needs. I love animals, truly and honestly. I am patient and consistent and will ensure that your pet is cared for, safe and loved while under my care.
About: ’ve been a cat owner for over 10 years, so I understand the importance of reliable, compassionate care. While this is my first time offering pet care on Rover, I have plenty of hands-on experience with feeding, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable and safe. As a college student, I’m responsible, organized, and flexible with my schedule. I’m especially good with cats and enjoy giving them the patience and attention they need, but I’m also happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, and general pet care. I’m a college student here in Ann Arbor so my main time commitment is classes, but I’m very flexible outside of this time. I have Fridays and weekends open, as well as some mornings and evening throughout the week. I keep pets safe and comfortable by sticking to their routines and giving them plenty of attention. In your home, I treat your pets like my own and make sure everything is left just as I found it.
“Our cats have always been very shy around new people, but Aurora was able to coax them out in almost no time during our initial meeting. Throughout the week, she sent us regular updates with plenty of pictures, and with each one we could tell that they were completely comfortable with how naturally they were acting. On top of taking excellent care of our cats and the house, she was also great with our bearded dragon, making sure she got her regular meals (bugs included) and checking her comfort level frequently. We would absolutely recommend Aurora to everyone who wants to make sure their pets have a genuine animal lover looking after them!”
About: We are truly animal lovers! Our yard is full of bird feeders and we always stop to pet a dog. Our backyard is fenced and secure. We recently lost both of our fur babies, after the best 16 years of their life. We are not ready for another dog just yet, but we miss a fuzzy cuddle and wet nose. We have owned and cared for animals all of our lives. We have nursed sick animals and done a ton of training. We enjoy walking around our neighborhood and your baby will join us if possible. Bring whatever favorite things that will make the stay more comfortable. Rest assured, they will be well cared for and surrounded by love. Sarah works from home so there will never be a time when they are alone for more than a quick errand. We probably love dogs more than people. We excited to meet you! Rich owns a business and is flexible when needed. Sarah works from home. If we have a pet here, we will absolutely be home for their care. Our house is pet friendly. They are welcome on the furniture. We have baby gates to block stairs. We will follow your instructions on feeding. If you want pictures I will be happy to provide them. I work from home. I also have family nearby in the case that I need to be away. Richard owns his business and is flexible. We have a fully fenced yard and plenty of places to walk. Our house is pet friendly and gated where it is not. We will follow your feeding instructions exactly.
“Exceptional experience! We have a very difficult and fearful 60 lb dog, and Evan was incredibly patient and caring to bring her out of her shell. He provided us with excellent communication before and during our trip with frequent updates and photographs. He also cared for our two cats and our rabbit. He did such a wonderful job with everything and we are so very grateful. I was very anxious as I have never used a house or pet sitter before and he worked hard to set my mind at ease. Highly, highly recommended.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hamburg is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $78 per night. 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.

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 Hamburg 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 Hamburg 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 Hamburg 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.

- 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.
