“Donovan always does an amazing job with our pups! He makes sure to always communicate with me throughout the visit and even bought my pups a treat (asking me first!) He makes sure my pups get the best care whenever he watches them! I would highly recommend him!”
“Lawton is awesome!! She sent great updates with photos and videos, was so easy to communicate with especially with me changing some times to take care of our dogs! She left our house clean and cared for and is just a sweet soul. We will for sure be using her again to care for our sweet fur babes!🫶”
About: I’ve been a dog mom to my Golden Retriever, Ellie, since I was 9 years old, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Along with raising Ellie, I’ve also helped care for family and friends’ pets over the years, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and routines. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. Whether they love long walks, playing outside, or just getting lots of attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets throughout the week. Outside of class, I have availability for walks, drop in visits, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I enjoy being active, so spending time with animals fits naturally into my routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I will care for them with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own dogs. I will always follow your pet’s routine, respect your home, and provide a safe, calm, and caring environment.
“Sweet and kind to our pups, respectful of our home and patient with our anxiety about leaving our pups. Super nice person who asked great questions about caring for our girls. We will definitely reach out to her again when needed to ask if she is willing/able to work with us. ❤️”
“Kate did a wonderful job taking care of my pup while I was away on business. Having an older dog requires extra feeding instructions, along with medications, and it all went smoothly. Definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for a sitter sometime soon!”
“Kacy is fabulous! We had a meet and greet prior to booking and felt so comfortable with her friendly and positive energy. She is such an animal lover. She took care of our babies by house sitting while we were away for a long weekend. She sent multiple updates a day, and really put our minds at ease. We are so so so thankful. We had no doubt that they were in such caring hands! Highly recommend!”
“Bennett did a wonderful job watching my two dogs while my family was on vacation. He bonded with both of them and helped them be comfortable while we were gone. I will definitely ask Bennett to watch my dogs again.”
“We are very happy with the care our dogs received. Kayla is reliable and great with communication. We have already booked for future stays! I would absolutely recommend. Thank you Kayla!”
“Madeline was the PERFECT fit for our family! She was amazing from start to finish. We got daily updates and photos and she was so easy to communicate with. We can tell that our home and our pets were very well taken care of and we’d be happy to have Madeline back again!”
“Sarah was amazing! Our dogs were well taken care. She would send us updates and pictures routinely. Our dog Lily can be apprehensive about meeting new people but Sarah was understanding and patient with Lily. She was able to win Lily over. We definitely recommend Sarah and will be booking her again! Thank you!”
“Emily was an absolutely exceptional dog sitter for our Frank. From start to finish, her communication with us was outstanding—she kept us consistently updated and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond by sending plenty of pictures of Frank, which we truly appreciated and looked forward to. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. On top of that, we came home to a clean and well-kept house, which was such a thoughtful touch. We couldn’t have asked for a better companion for Frank and would highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter!”
“Katie was great with our pups for a full week! Got tons of pics and updates while we were away and left everything in good condition upon return home. She even offered to help put away decorations for us. She definitely did a good job and we were happy to have her watch our pups.”
About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. As early as adolescense, I helped care for litters of puppies. I have had the delight of caring for dogs of various ages and temperments in more recent years. From bottle feeding runts to helping anxious elder dogs feel comfortable and safe, I have enjoyed providing compassionate care and companionship. I know that your pet/s are an important part of your family and will provide resposible care for them with the same level of compassion that I would my own. I am available most weekdays and some weekends after 12pm. I have good flexibility for in-house sitting overnight and can work with you if you need any care outside my window of availability If I am caring for pets in your home, I believe in "leave it better than you found it." I will respect your space and treat the care of your space as an extension of my duty to your pets.
“Really great at keeping us informed and sending pictures of our girl every day. We could tell that Nala (our dog) was doing great from the pictures sent. The house was extremely clean when we got home. Ruth cleaned our tub and shower and even our floors. She went above what we expected of her for watching our dog.”
About: I've taken care of a multitude of different dogs since I was 13-14. Neighbors, friends, family have relied on me to take care of their fur babies. I feed, walk, bathe, and nourish their pets as if they were my own. I'm currently in school still right now but I have plenty of time on the weekends and after 3pm during the week. Once the summer picks up I will be more available I come with a positive attitude ready to take care of your pets as if they were mine. I find joy in the outdoors so taking your animals out to get some fresh air is no problem.
“Our experience, and more importantly our dog's experience, with Ashley was fantastic! Ashley cared for our dog while we were on vacation. She immediately connected with our dog who likes to get a lot of attention. It was truly a vacation all the way around -- highly recommend!”
About: I have worked with dogs for quite a while now, started off as a boarding attendant at kennelwood, then managed some group play at dogtopia. I do now work full time at a spa. But, I am looking forward to taking care of your pet rather that’s dog-walking, pet sitting! I do know how to administer medication, and care for senior pets! Questions? book with me today. This is a part-time thing for me. I work full time at a veterinary clinic! This is more of a monthly thing for me. I care for pets in clients home, same with drop-in’s and walks. I stay in contact with clients via text/call. I always provide pictures during the stay.
“Marissa was great! She is such a nice person, and I was able to enjoy my time out of town even more, knowing that my dogs were happy in our home. She sent pictures of our dogs each day, and when we arrived home, she had put a cute autumn scene on our tv to greet us.😊”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,505 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hamburg. 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 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 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
