“We could not have asked for a better pet sitter! Annie took incredible care of our two dogs and two cats while we were away for a week. She sent us lots of pictures and consistent updates, which gave us total peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation. Her communication was excellent, and we came home to happy pets and a spotless house that felt like we had never left. Annie is professional, reliable, and genuinely caring we are so grateful to have found her and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Tess was wonderful with our dog, Timber. She provided us with updates (which we loved!) and was very responsive. Tess was home & dog sitting, and we trust her completely to do it again! She met with us before hand to get a lay of the land and was here about 1 week.”
“Acacia was amazing with my dogs, they loved her! She was timely, thoughtful, playful with the dogs and sent great pics. Can’t wait to have her house/dog sit again!”
“Alex recently stayed at our house to take care of our Cocker (Cooper) as well as tropical fish. Cooper took to her right away. She obviously has a love of dogs. Many walks and pictures. No dead fish! Highly recommended!”
“Abigail absolutely saved me and my Frenchie when my originally-booked sitter no-showed me hours before an international trip. Abigail was communicative, calm, and quickly formed a rapport with me and my dog despite never having met either of us! I’m so grateful for the exemplary care and kindness she showed and will 100% book with her again in the future!”
“We are so happy we found Shea to take care of our fur babies! She has a very calm and caring presence which made us very comfortable. Our 2 pups clearly enjoyed her company, she was great about giving updates, asking questions when I forgot to tell her some instructions and sent us pictures too. We will definitely be booking her again! Thank you Shea!!”
“Autumn is such an amazing dog sitter, I wish I could give her a 10 star rating! She takes such good care of our 2 dogs, so much exercise and love while we are gone. She’s a gift to doggy parents!”
“We had a great experience with Jennifer! She stayed at our house for 5 days to watch our dog Joe and took excellent care of him the entire time. She provided frequent updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Joe is an anxious dog but was very comfortable having her around. On top of that, she left the house just as clean as she found it. Would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter!”
“Kelly was amazing! It was our first time using Rover and she helped ease my first time jitters. Our dog has separation anxiety and she was available to house sit and be there the majority of the time. She sent videos and photos for our kids and us to see. She walked and played outside a lot keeping our dog active and thus calmer.”
“Isabella was great with our 3 month old puppy! She sent us pictures and was very communicative and gave us updates while we’re were away. Thank you for taking care of our little guy and we hope to work with you again soon!”
“We could not have left our pup and our home in better hands. Deb was great with Jasper, and that's not an easy feat, as he is a big, rambunctious, and sometimes unpredictable guy. Our weekend away was stress free and we loved getting the photo updates from Deb. We are already dreaming of our next getaway, and Deb will be the first person we call to dog and house sit for us again.”
“Kelsey took great care of our dog, Mochi. She asked good questions at our meet and greet. We received a daily photo and update from Kelsey while we were away. Mostly importantly, Mochi was very comfortable with her and we trust our dog's intuition very much :)”
“Justin was wonderful! Charlie and Margaret were so happy- we could tell from the pictures that Justin sent to keep us updated over the weekend. We will absolutely book him again!”
“Erin has watched my dogs several times over the years and, as always, did a great job communicating, sending photos, and most importantly taking care of my dogs for two weeks. Also left the house in great shape.”
“Ciboney was responsive and attentive to our two older dogs. One of them does get stressed easily, and she was kind and patient with them. She was respectful of our home and left everything tidy and clean. Will be rebooking!”
“5 star stay with Kristen! Our dog, Ellie, fractured a bone in her paw about a week before our trip and Kristen handled her medication schedule perfectly. So nice to know Ellie is in good hands anytime we have Kristen stay with her!”
“We recently had Claire come stay at our place with our two labs for two weeks, and she was absolutely amazing. Not only was she very flexible with our constantly changing plans, she also went above and beyond during her stay. We came home to a clean house, and two happy dogs (who got more of a workout in those 2 weeks than they had all winter). We will definitely be using Claire again in the future and would highly recommend her to any other pet owner.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hamel
First time user of Rover - hopped on to find quick care for our dog Frank - and Izzy responded immediately that she was available and willing to help. She did a great job checking in on our dog - getting him fed, fresh air, and some love and attention that he of course needs - would recommend Izzy! She was punctual, and a great communicator - a job well done! Thanks Izzy!
Annie watched my dog at my house while I was away for a week and was wonderful! She took my dog for walks, gave her lots of cuddles, and sent lots of updates and photos. She was a great house sitter as well (took out my trash, grabbed some mail/packages, checked on plants) which was above and beyond! Would definitely recommend her to others.
Tess was wonderful with our dog, Timber. She provided us with updates (which we loved!) and was very responsive. Tess was home & dog sitting, and we trust her completely to do it again! She met with us before hand to get a lay of the land and was here about 1 week.
Sophia met our dogs multiple times over the course of two months so we would feel comfortable leaving them for an extended period of time. She did a great job walking our two large dogs and playing with our small one. She sent over videos and photos as well. The dogs were always happy to see her and when we came back we could tell that she really did a great job taking care of them!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hamel on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,395 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hamel. 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 Hamel 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 Hamel 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 Hamel 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hamel. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
