About: I am a reliable dog sitter for friends and family. I owned 2 of my own dogs in the past, a boxer and cocker spaniel mix. I have a pretty flexible/varied schedule. Please send me a message and we can definitely work something out to fit the needs of your pet! Whichever directions or specifications you have for your pet I will always do my best to follow them! I do not offer home services at the moment.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Tracy. They took amazing care of our pets and kept us updated while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our pets were happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Bubba really appreciated Cassie coming every day. He ate well and his litter box also cleaned. He was in good spirits when we got back, reclusive as he is. We are very happy with the care given. And the koi were happy to be fed! Thanks Cassie.”
About: I have always had a love for all pets and have always had dogs in my family home ! I always look foward to meeting new furry friends and caring for them as if they were my own ! I’m currently not working at the time and with the weather slowly warming up I have a lot of free time to walk your pups , play ,etc ! Keeping your pets safe is my number 1 priority! I don’t have a yard unfortunately but a lot of parks and trails along Quinsigamond where I live along with a great field that I go to often with my dog and great neighbors with great dogs !
“Lauren is absolute wonderful! It was my first time having her watch the babies and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter! Very responsive and has a passion and love for animals. Went above and beyond for us and can’t thank her enough!”
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.
“Thank you Gabriela! Charlie & Frank were well taken care of while we were away. We appreciate that we can count on you to show up and provide caring and attention :) . You have been so helpful”
“Lingwen was super responsive and communicative, it was great that she was able to accommodate a last minute request. She also did a great job with the drop-in visit and took great care of our cat, I would definitely recommend her!”
“This was my 2nd time booking with Alison, I was so happy to know she was available for the time I was away again. She’s great to communicate with and always sends tons of photos during her visits 😊”
“Ashley was amazing! So incredibly kind and attentive to our fur babies. She was very patient and aware of their body language which is super important to us as our kitties are quite skittish and slow to warm up. But by the end of her visits they had definitely warmed up. We would recommend Ashley to anyone looking for their babies to be well loved!”
“Excellent pet sitter! She was always on time, flexible, and genuinely caring. My pet is on a temporary medicine and she helped with administration with the same care as if it were her own pet. Her expertise was evident, and she even went above and beyond by giving my pet a get-well treat at her own expense. Highly recommended!”
“Maya did a wonderful job taking care of my Lily. She sent lots of pictures and her updates were very informative. She also gave her meds, which Lily did not make easy, but she got it done. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing Lily was well taken care of. I cannot give her enough stars!! I would book her again!!”
“Jen was a punctual, knowledgeable, and reliable cat sitter from our first visit to the last check in. Her reports show her pertinent observations on changes in the cat’s play and feeding behavior with good solutions to these behaviors. She was also willing to bring in the mail and take out the trash while we were away. The cats were playful and engaged in the videos she posted. We recommend Jen as a pet sitter and will use her services in the future.”

Danielle was fantastic! She came for a meet and greet first, and she made sure she understood everything for taking care of my two cats. She was very friendly, and she was gentle and caring with my cats. She arrived on time for the visits, took great pictures of my cats, gave thoughtful and clear updates, and she left everything very clean. Danielle loves cats, and she is an excellent pet sitter. I highly recommend her, and I will definitely ask her to care for my cats again!
Mary checked in on my cats while I was away on vacation. Mary is wonderful with even the shyest of cats! She sent pictures daily and sent updates about all of my pets, with info on meals and liter box use. Even my shyest cat Salem came down to see her! My mind was at ease while I was away knowing my pets are being well taken care of.
Edith is hands-down the most remarkable pet sitter I have ever hired. While watching my cat, an unexpected health issue arose that required an emergency home visit from our vet. Edith rearranged her personal schedule to meet the vet, then expertly helped round up my cat, who is notoriously difficult during medical visits. My vet was full of praise for her professionalism and composure. Edith has a natural talent for reading animal needs, and I recommend her without reservation.
Asia was so wonderful our entire trip giving us tons of photos every update and keeping us up to date on Ebi’s behavior, mood, bathroom habits, and she even checked in on our gecko Benny’s light each day to make sure he wasn’t cold. Her experience as a vet tech really set our hearts at ease, and she asked great questions during our meet and greet before the trip. Ebi felt completely safe in her hands and I’ll definitely be reaching out to her first the next time we need a pet sitter!
Kiari was wonderful! We booked a little last minute and she was able to meet Booker the day before with us and give her a run down on his care. I felt very relaxed knowing my baby was being well cared for. I’m only in the area temporarily but I will be using Kiari again if I need to go out of town!
We have used Paulina’s services a few times now, and she is the best! She is very reliable and goes above and beyond the call of duty. Not only does she take great care of our cat, she looks after our home, too. She alerted us to a problem with our a/c and watched for our mail and when her booking is done she makes sure that we have returned. It puts our minds at ease when we travel knowing Paulina is there. We will use her services again and again.
I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received! Alison was communicative and sent plenty of updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved spending time with them. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone!
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!
Katie took care of my cat George for a full week of drop-in visits, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She spent time actually playing with him (not just the basics), and it showed—George looked so happy and relaxed in all the updates she sent. Speaking of updates, Katie sent a ton of them, which I absolutely loved. It made being away so much easier knowing exactly how he was doing each day. She also went above and beyond by watering my plants, which I really appreciated. I would 100% book Katie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hamilton on Rover is $21 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 6,539 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
