About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and have recently started watching people’s animals for long and short periods of time. I also have experience taking care of disabled dogs! I currently work part time only a couple days of the week so I have plenty of time to play and take care of your animals! I’m available most days and times of the week! I take care of animals in my clients’ homes by following their normal routines as closely as possible so their pets feel comfortable and safe. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, and I keep the home clean and secure while the owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so clients know their pets are happy and well cared for.
“LeeAnna was a Godsend for our family as we just moved to the area 8 days before our scheduled vacation. She was quick to respond to our request. She came over to meet us and our pups before our vacation. She went above and beyond taking care of our pups, and sent pictures and updates at each drop in visit. Her sweet boys also came along to love on our pups which was great since they are used to having our kids around. She even brought our trash out and checked our mail for us. Knowing that LeeAnna was checking in twice a day gave us so much peace of mind. She even gave us weather updates and went back to let our pups inside on stormy days. We cannot say enough about how wonderful LeeAnna was. We will definitely book with her again for future vacations!!”
About: I’ve been grooming and boarding dog and cats since 2008. Quality care with the experience to match. Always available via text and I’ll answer any questions you have. This is my full time job. Monday thru Friday and some weekends as well. Dogs are my joy in life its not work if you love it. I have a fenced in play yard as well as trails and pastures to take long walks on leash. I live on a farm with lots of room to run. I’ve been a pet Nanny for years it’s just my life and it’s not work to me I love it. My dogs are here everyday on the farm playing and so what’s a few more. We walk everyday and play in the play yard daily. Lots of outside time I love the outdoors and hiking. We have multiple play yard for different size dogs. A separate cat room is available.
About: Having worked in an administrative position for a gated community, I was able to get to know many residents we served and through that, dog-sat for several residents (including the Mayor's two terriers!) I was able to build a reputation that allowed me to also watch a client's pet for an extended time of nearly two months as well as care for pets of friends and family while they were away on vacation. I believe that trust and respect is essential when caring for another individuals pet. You deserve to feel at ease knowing that both your pet and your home are in safe and trusting hands, your instructions followed and all needs are met! I am currently available seven days a week, 6am to 9pm. I understand that many animals may be used to their routines, which might include an evening bathroom break or medication taken at a certain time. I believe in treating others how you wish to be treated. I expect someone entering my home to treat it with respect and I want someone who I know will not leave a mess or get into my personal belongings. Rest assured, your home and pet will be in safe hands that you can trust.
About: I’ve cared for pets personally for years and understand the importance of routines, exercise, attention, and patience. I’m reliable and focused on making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while owners are away. I’m very flexible during the week/weekend and respond quickly! Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I work regular daytime hours and have evenings and weekends available. I can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets attention while keeping owners updated. I also work 5 minutes away from my house, and I have flexibility over my schedule completely so it makes things much easier. I prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. During dog walks, I keep dogs securely leashed and stay alert to surroundings to ensure safe, controlled walks. When pet sitting in homes, I carefully follow all instructions, keep pets on their normal routines, and make sure the home is secure before leaving. For cat check-ins, I provide food, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and calm attention based on each cat’s comfort level. I always respect each pet’s personality and boundaries and aim to keep them safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away.
“Melanie was awesome! My dogs loved her and I knew they were being well cared for by her! She is also quick to respond and was willing to work around my schedule! Def gonna use her again!”
“Ansley is a great sitter and a kind and sweet person. She has taken care of our pets a few times now and each time she has shown excellent service, flexibility, and respect to us, our pets, and our home. We appreciate her help and continue to look forward to her service to our furbabies.”

About: Hi! I’m Alexis, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so I know they aren’t “just pets”, they’re family. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and cuddly, or somewhere in between. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and to care for them just as I would my own. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry best friend, so I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages to give you peace of mind. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup and become someone you can trust whenever you need a helping hand! I'm a recent college graduate so I am home fulltime and have more than enough time available to love on your fur baby! There is nothing better than having furbaby love! I do not have a fenced in backyard but will be more than happy to take your furry baby on a walk, welcome them into my apartment and/or drop in and see how they are doing!
“Lindsey did such an amazing job with our dogs and made sure to send us lots of updates and pictures! I definitely recommend using her! We will be using her in the future for sure!!!”
“Kenny did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats while I was out of town for a few days. He was great at following instructions, making the cats as comfortable as possible, was punctual at their scheduled feeding times, and stayed to play with them past the required 15 minute visit time. I’d highly recommend him if you’re looking for someone in the bay area to take care of your furbabies while traveling.”
“Madison is great! My dog is skittish around new people and seemed to do very well with her! She arrives on time and takes care of girl perfectly! Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve always had a strong connection with animals, they seem to know that I love and care for them immediately. I’ve had the most antisocial pets snuggling me within the first few minutes of knowing me. I’m not a magician but I will treat your beloved babies with same amount of care and love as I would with my own. I can be booked from anytime! This is my only obligation and it’s what I’m passionate about, I look forward to caring for your fur babies! Every pet is different and has their own routine they’re accustomed to. I try to know as much about their day to day as much as I can prior to, so I can provide the best and most comfortable experience for your babies! I’m very adaptable, so anything I haven’t done before I will learn quick. I will treat each and every client, (and their pets) with respect and honesty.
“Very happy to have Brent and Connie’s help. They are reliable, spend time loving on our dogs and do a great job communicating. We will definitely use them again.”

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hamilton on Rover is $15.54 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 428 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hamilton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty 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 to 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.
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 Hamilton. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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 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.
