About: I've absolutely adored animals of all kinds since I was a little kid. As an adult, I've worked in shelters, kennels, and in client's homes. I am also currently a certified professional dog trainer. Depending on the days, I may have to make short trips away to train my client dogs. I will gladly spend the entirety of the rest of my time with your pets, including overnights! I am happy to follow a schedule if one is provided. I will also provide video or picture updates as frequently as requested. I will also be happy to check the house the pet is staying in to make sure it's safe for the pet. Any messes or accident's are no problem for me to clean up and I will inform the owner about them.
“I could not ask for a better dog sitter! Between the care, concern and communication ,I felt very comfortable leaving my fuzzy baby with Paul! I will definitely use him again. He’s very reliable!!!”
“Asia took awesome care of our kitty! Even during a historic New England blizzard, she made every effort to make each check-in and was flexible with scheduling when our flight home got delayed. She left thorough visit notes and took tons of pictures. I think our kitty will definitely be hanging out with her again in the future!”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs since I was a child. My family dog was part of my life from when I was young until she passed away at 16 years old, so I understand how important pets are to a family. I have experience feeding, walking, and playing with dogs, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also have three pets of my own, but they are currently living with my family while I am living in Massachusetts. I work part-time and have flexible availability for dog walking and pet care. I’m responsible, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, and routines. I am patient and attentive and always treat pets with kindness and respect in their home.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats for much of my life, and am experienced with dogs less than 10lbs, all the way up to 100+lbs! I am familiar with caring for animals with disabilities and medical needs, as well as reactive dogs and those with behavioral issues. As long as I know how best to care for an animal, I am more than happy to meet whatever needs they have to ensure a safe and happy experience. I am always happy to come by to keep your pet company, indoors and out! I am available at varied times of day, so I am happy to provide care whenever you need! I ensure that I know the expectations for a pet beforehand, so that I can care for them how their owner wants. I am happy to cuddle your dog all night, or keep them company while in their crate!
“We're always so grateful when Paulina is available to watch our boys. Very communicative and we never feel a need to worry about how our kitties are doing while she's with them :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs from about 12 years old. Neighbors, friends, family; I’ve been trusted to care for their furry family members for a while. Having my own dog and being surrounded by many furry friends, I have much experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule that varies throughout the week. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I do my best to accommodate owners’ needs whenever possible. I prioritize communication and reliability, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I will follow all instructions regarding routines, feeding schedules, medications, and any special needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to create a calm, positive, and trustworthy experience for both pets and their owners. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years, and it’s truly my passion. I love helping puppies learn, keeping senior pets comfortable, and giving extra love to anxious or special-needs pets. Working remotely lets me be present throughout the day, making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine since I work remotely. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, timely feedings, playtime, medication administration, and attentive care throughout the day rather than limited check ins. I care for pets by following their established routines to keep them comfortable and stress free. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide attentive supervision, timely feedings, playtime, litter box maintenance, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection while respecting each pet’s boundaries and preferences.
“Tessa checked in on my 16-year-old kitties for a week. She is kind, responsive, flexible, and a true animal-lover. It was evident in all of the visit photos that the cats were being well-loved and having a great time playing and getting pats! Tessa even went above and beyond by leaving our home spotless after some kitty pukey incidents! Lol. We could not be more pleased with the care she provided!!”
About: I’ve fostered and owned cats and dogs since I was little. I worked at a dog daycare where I manage dogs from every size and breed! I’ve worked there for two years and have lots of experience! I work as a dog daycare attendant and a kennel technician there. I go to school at the University of Delaware and am home for the summer! I currently work a job of about 25 hours a week and sometimes will be shadowing veterinarians. My work schedule is not the same every week, but I can adjust as needed. I am trained from my job in animal handling and how to handle health challenges. I cannot do medicine unless it is already packaged in the food provided. I am a massive animal lover and am ready to give so much love & attention to the your pets!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and pets for over 10 years. Whether it’s a long walk, overnight stay, or drop-in visit, I treat every pup like they’re part of my own family. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust. Happy to schedule a meet & greet to see if it’s a good fit! I currently work as a truck driver on weekdays returning by 4 pm at the latest . And availability is free all weekends. I make it a priority for the dogs to be fed, walked and well taken care of throughout the day I have a fenced in yard at the end of a dead end street in a quiet neighborhood, giving your dog the space and peace they need to have a great time
“Holly was so professional and communicative. Responded nearly immediately and made a point to get to know our dogs and their space before committing to take care of them. She is exactly the type of person you want taking care of your pets. Would highly recommend Holly and will definitely use her in the future!”
“Julia took great care of our dogs! We have an older Jack Russell and a younger deaf & anxious Jack. They are wonderful dogs but require a little more work. Julia was wonderful with both. She sent updates and pictures and we could tell the dogs were comfortable and at ease with her. Julia came over earlier for a meet and greet and was very friendly & kind. We highly recommend her!”
About: I have pet sat for years and have my own fur babies at home. I'm in college right now and I'm missing them, so let me spend some time with yours! I am home on summer break. Besides a part time job, I don't have much else going on! This means I am able to spend so much time with your furry friends. Whatever instructions I am given is what I will follow. Not everyone is the same when it comes to their pets needs, so keep me informed and I can help us all feel safe and trusted!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly love caring for them! I have hands-on experience with a variety of breeds, including Goldendoodles, Labradoodles, Bernedoodles, and German Shepherds. I understand the unique personalities and needs of each dog of all ages and make it my mission to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or just a cozy cuddle session, I treat every dog like my own. You can trust that your pup will be in warm, reliable, and capable hands! As a teacher, my schedule becomes much more flexible after June 17th when the school year ends. I babysit on Tuesdays, but aside from that, my days are open for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I’m excited to dedicate more of my time this summer to spending quality time with pets and providing dependable, loving care whenever needed. I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment for all pets in my care. I have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and stretch their legs, and there’s a beautiful park just a short walk away for fun walks and exercise. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your pet’s routine, provide plenty of affection and supervision, and make sure they feel secure. I also send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Maya was very communicative and punctual for both of our visits. Our cat really seemed like he enjoyed her company and we are glad he was in good hands while out of town.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2015. I have looked after a whole range of health and abilities, including a diabetic cat who needed insulin injections, and a dog who needed eye drops! I’m a college student in the area, so I have pockets of time throughout the week and on the weekend to hang out with pups! I would not be able to board, but I am sure to be extremely respectful of your home and space! I love learning how you do things and doing my best to replicate it.

Lupia was able to care for both of my dogs on last second notice. Lupia had not seen them for about a year and a half, however despite this she still remembered exactly how to care for and interact with them. ( She also takes phenomenal pictures of them). They were ecstatic to see her and I can't thank her enough for being an incredible dog-sitter.
Hannah was wonderful with Maisie! Despite the pouring rain, she took Maisie out for a walk and play time and was patient while she waited for her to go potty. Hannah was extremely communicative before, during and after the visit. We are so happy to have found Hannah and have already booked out next visit!
We love Katie and will definitely be asking her to care for our cuddlebug pup again. She was very reliable and our dog’s joy was showing through every Rover card. We have a backyard, but she still took our strong and still leash-training pup on daily walks. Above and beyond care!

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.
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 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.

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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Hamilton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
