“Eko and Sarah were SO nice with Cleo and really took their time to play with her and keeping her company☺️ truly happy to have found them after our previous Rover moved!”
About: I have had cats my whole life- growing up there were times when we had up to four cats at once, I believe. I have a cat now, as well. I also have some experience walking and caring for dogs, though not nearly as much as I have with cats. I am always willing to learn, though! And I really love walking dogs, it's fun to see where they want to take you, and to have a little buddy as a person who already loves walking probably as much as dogs do. I am unemployed for the month of July (and the rest of June), so I've got lots of time to spend with your pets! Though I am relocating to the Arlington, MA area in mid July. I definitely want to closely adhere to any instructions given to me so as to provide the best care possible for you and your pets.
About: I have taken care of pets and houses through TrustedHouseSitters since 2022. I have completed over 13 sits and have a 5 star rating. I have taken care of many cats and dogs of various ages and sizes, including golden retrievers, labs, Irish water spaniel, Yorkshire terriers, Maltese, pomeranians, Scottish terrier, Bichon/Poodle and mutts of many varieties. I respect a pet's schedule and aim to make them as comfortable as possible. I can handle reactive dogs while on walks. I can administer medications in pill or powder form if the pet is compliant. I love brushing animals if the pet is willing. Personally, I had 2 wonderful medium size dogs growing up. Sadie (German shephard and collie mix) and Mindy (collie and mystery mix) taught me compassion, patience and so many tricks. As an adult, I adopted my first cat in 2026. While I did not grow up in a cat family, if felt like a rite of passage as a librarian. I am thoroughly enjoying being a cat mom to an incredibly talkative and playful cat. He is very opinionated and craves human interaction. I work full time so I will typically only be available for overnights, walks or check-ins on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. For cat check-ins, I may be able to accommodate weekdays depending on your location. I have taken care of animals in their own home for over 4 years. I like to follow owner instructions as closely as possible because it is will make the pet most comfortable. I always use caution when entering/exiting the home and while walking dogs.
“Alison was wonderful to work with. She was friendly and kind. She sent lots of pictures of our pets. We felt relieved knowing our pets were in such capable hands. Would definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Andreana was once again amazing in taking care of our sweet Lady, but also a very rambunctious puppy! With all the updates and pictures, my wife and I felt assured both dogs were being well cared for.”
“Kelly was great! She did what we asked and offered to come ahead of time to do a quick walkthrough before she did her check in to make sure we were on the same page. She communicated wonderfully and our cat loved her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to check in on their pet.”
“Nicole has been fantastic with Avery and Cody. She's great with them, she's great at providing updates on every visit and we will be continuing to use her services as much as possible.”
“Evelina took such wonderful care of my cats, Alice and Noodle, while I was away. I could tell she really cared about them, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She was thoughtful and attentive throughout and really went above and beyond, even helping with things around my home like cleaning up a plant that had spilled. That kind of care really meant a lot to me. I would absolutely trust Evelina with my cats again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind and reliable.”
“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!”
“Highly recommend! Grace took great care of Reese over the long weekend, providing regular updates and making sure she was happy and well cared for. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands”
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.
“Lauren is the BEST! She did such an amazing job taking care of my three cats while I was out of town. Her pictures and updates were amazing! Lauren is kind, punctual, and such a light. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!”
“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!!!”
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.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has grown up with dogs in the family ever since I was born. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and over the years I’ve also frequently pet-sat for friends and family members. I currently have two English Springer Spaniels who are brother and sister, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. I absolutely love staying active and spending time outdoors, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, long walks, playtime, and attention while in my care! Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a slower-paced routine with lots of cuddles, I’m happy to tailor care to their individual personality and needs. Having dogs of my own has taught me how important consistency and routines are for pets. I will gladly follow any feeding schedules, medication instructions, crate routines, training expectations, or special requests to help your dog feel comfortable and at home. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds, and temperaments, and I truly treat every dog like family. I know how nerve-wracking it can feel leaving your pet with someone new, so communication is very important to me. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel confident and relaxed while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup and provide them with lots of love, care, and attention! General Availability: Monday-Friday: 5AM-9AM & 6:30PM-11PM Saturday-Sunday: 5AM-11PM
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.
“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!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Hamilton is $24
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hamilton
Edith is always so thorough and caring with my cats. One of our cats absolutely falls in love with Edith and gets lots of pet and love every time she visits. The other cat is more shy, but is also feeling more and more comfortable when Edith visits! I was really anxious about having to take the long international trip and not able to take care of our cats, Edith's help really made this time away much less stressful for me and my cats.
Paulina is a reliable, experienced, and thorough petsitter. She made pertinent observations about our three cats, and adjusted feeding routines to get a picky eater to take her medication. Her fotos demonstrated her interactions and playtime with the cats. We highly recommend her and will rebook her in the future.
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!
Evelina took such wonderful care of my cats, Alice and Noodle, while I was away. I could tell she really cared about them, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She was thoughtful and attentive throughout and really went above and beyond, even helping with things around my home like cleaning up a plant that had spilled. That kind of care really meant a lot to me. I would absolutely trust Evelina with my cats again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind and reliable.
Sara was amazing and my disabled cat loves her. She was so responsive and caring by keeping me timely informed on my fur babies progress while we were gone halfway around the world for over a month. I cannot recommend her more. She truly bonded and cared for my animals. Hire her!

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 6,584 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:
- 90% 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.
