About: I'm a web designer who works 100% remote, am a true animal person at heart, and have been petsitting on the side since 2021. My family has three kitties (pictured in my profile is the sassy Bee Bee) and I have grown up with animals my entire life. I promise to care for your pets like my own. 💙 I work full-time about 8:30-5 fully remote - so wherever I have WiFi I'm all set! I love to house sit so I can give your pets even more love and attention throughout the day. However, I am also available for occasional drop-ins in the morning and evening during the week, and am usually fully available on weekends. I pride myself in following your instructions to a T. I'll always leave your home clean and your pets happy, fed, and safe. I also make it a priority to gather emergency information before any booking to be prepared in the case of any situation. Finally, I ask that I please be made aware of any cameras inside and/or outside of the home for the safety of myself and your pets.

About: I will provide a fun, family friendly home for your beloved pet to stay while you are away. I have had 1 wonderful dog of a mixed breed that I grew up with during my childhood and one large breed dog that I owned for 10 years during my young adulthood. I currently have 3 dogs at home, 2 pugs and a female golden retriever. I only hope they can bring joy and fulfillment to my children as they grow with our family. I appreciate the time and money that you have spent in utilizing a service such as this instead of a boarding kennel. Thank you for your consideration and I hope we can meet soon! I currently work from home so I am available to care for your beloved pet at anytime of the day. I can do multiple drop-in visits throughout the day. My hours are very flexible. I can walk your dog around the neighborhood if that is what you prefer or let them out into your backyard if you would like drop-in visits at your home. I also provide boarding at my home if that is what you need. I have an unfenced backyard with a lead in the ground so your pet can be in the backyard and have safety and security to run around or I can take them on walks if that is what you would like. I also provide overnight stays as well.
About: As a life long dog owner, I know how important it is to have someone else in your circle to care for your pets. I have raised my own lab from a puppy and trained her to be the best house dog she can be! I love to be active and on the go! Senior dogs who want to soak up every moment this life has to offer is also in my wheel house. I'm currently working part time as a substitute teacher and I am done for the day around 2:30 pm. I will have evenings free for walks and boarding. I don't have children of my own, so offering services for pets is a way I can contribute to this new community I have found myself in. I have a fenced in yard and access to an open walking path within walking distance of my home. As a PE teacher, I am very active and love to stay moving after school. I have always believed a tired dog, is a happy dog :) I also have experience in nannying and professional organizing, so staying in a client's home is also something I am privy to.
“Joy was an absolutely ideal dog sitter. She really did look after my dog as if he was her own. She monitored his eating habits, kept to his walk schedule, and gave my boy lots and lots of love. 100% would recommend and will definitely re-book in the future!”
“Skye was very good with Mochi and took him out to the dog park which he loved. He keep him out and safe for a couple of hours which allowed him to get tired out in a safe and exciting way”
“Super communicative, always sends pics and was the best sitter for our golden retriever pup and was super understanding of the puppy growing pains especially for a demanding breed. Would absolutely have Ami sit Desmond again in the future”
“Kaleah was the perfect sitter! She stayed at our home for 4.5 days with our puppy, Duke, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very first M&G, she was so lovely, warm, and trustworthy, and we immediately got such good vibes from her. Throughout her stay, she was extremely responsive and communicative. She sent us pictures of Duke every morning and again in the afternoon/evening, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was also able to stay with Duke pretty much 24/7, which was exactly what we were looking for. She also very flexible when we added that Duke would need to be given medication which we had not previously planned for. We felt 100% comfortable leaving both our puppy and our home in her care. Duke was clearly so happy and well taken care of when we got back, and everything at home was perfect. We would absolutely recommend Kaleah to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, communicative, and genuinely great with dogs. We will definitely be booking her again!”
About: If you’re looking for a dependable, loving sitter who will treat your dog like family, you’ve come to the right place. I have years of experience dog sitting, house sitting, and caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, enjoying daily walks, keeping up with playtime, or providing attentive overnight care, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I believe pet care is about more than meeting basic needs, it’s about building trust and creating a positive experience for both you and your dog. I take the time to learn each pup’s unique personality, routines, and favorite things, so they feel comfortable and cared for from the moment we meet. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and attentive. I’m the sitter who gets down on the floor to play, remembers your dog’s little quirks after just one visit, and sends plenty of photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your best friend is having a great time. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and providing the same level of care and attention that I would give my own pets! I am currently employed in the Howell area with my schedule varying but flexible. My work day starts in the afternoon/late afternoon into the evening. I can stay at a client’s home as I have experience with this. Most people I dog sit give me a list of rules and instructions for caring for their furry friend as well as staying safe.I have experience staying at clients’ homes, so I can do this. Most dog sitters I know give me a list of rules and instructions for caring for their pets and staying safe in the home.
“Meg was absolutely wonderful with our pups! They loved her the moment they met her. She is definitely a dog person. Meg took pictures of the pups during walks and when they were lounging in the living room. They looked so relaxed and chill, not looking as if they were anxiously missing us. She was very diligent in her care for our pups. We have two senior dogs, and one has special needs and she handled them as a pro. We are looking forward to having her watch them again.”

I'm currently on my summer break so I have plenty of time to take care of your little ones! I'm available Monday-Friday from 10 am- 4pm. Times are flexible and can vary! I double-checked everything and added wire shielding. While also obstructing some parts. In addition. I can provide playpins if necessary. I'll make sure your little ones are safe.
“John was an excellent sitter for our two senior pups. Both of them get meds these days and he was very willing to take care of them and spent hours hanging out with them. It was clear they were well loved while we were gone. He always made sure to check in with photos and any questions and was always clear if the schedule for the day was ever a little altered due to his regular work schedule. (Not that it mattered much as our pups are very adaptable but it was nice knowing he thought through each day and how it would be laid out!) We definitely will be keeping him in mind for future times we need a sitter!”
“Folks, I can't recommend Heather more if I tried! She was phenomenally responsive, caring, and super diligent about each and every detail. I had major surgery, so working with Heather was one big area I didn't have to think twice about. The cats LOVED her. I could tell because when I came home they didn't even look at me twice. ;-)”

About: I’m on Rover to help you out with any / all your pets needs while you’re away! I work full time as a student analyst in a public school. I don’t dog train, but I am familiar with any techniques that you may need for your pup! I have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own. I have experience with all breeds! All mutts and senior pups are welcome. I also have experience administering medication to dogs. All dogs of breeds and age deserve attention and love. I’d love it if you let me love your pets as if they are my own too! Thank you for reading this. I am able to work with the families in terms of what they need. My calendar may not always reflect accurately as my times with my full-time job (human) clients do fluctuate. If it is blocked off it means I am 100% unavailable. I don’t recommend myself in terms of full-on puppy training and 24/7 puppy care due to my schedule but I am versed in the training techniques due to my career. I am available weekends for extra care and staying in your home full time. My pets are well loved and taken care of while I care for others. I will never be able to host in my home, so please consider this! I offer in home care, overnight, daily walks, and check ins.

Tina took amazing care of my very anxious and shy pup! She was extremely willing and flexible to meet with Fig multiple times prior to the weekend she was watching him. She made him feel comfortable to trust her, and took amazing care of him over the weekend. She sent us updates throughout, and we were very grateful that Fig was in great hands. I will definitely be rebooking with Tina!
Savannah dog & house sat for about 8 days for us. She was very responsible. It was nice that she took the time to come meet the dogs and go over what the job entailed prior to our vacation. We were pleased with the care she gave our pups, and how nicely she kept the house. We will absolutely hire her again, and would recommend her.
Having a strong connection with my boys, I hoped to find someone who could empathize. Rachel empathized and cared for my nervous lab and demanding staffy for 9 days. But more importantly she took time to get to know my guys and me. They were walked, cared for (during a storm, and late evening). The care Rachel provided helped me to enjoy our trip without worry. Thank you, Rachel
Hunter took wonderful care of my sweet animals while we were away. My senior dog wasn’t feeling well and was unable to move from her bed, which could have been incredibly stressful. Hunter handled the situation with so much care, patience, and compassion. She was able to easily administer her medications, made sure she was comfortable at all times, and gave her the attentive, thoughtful care she needed during a vulnerable moment. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such capable and loving hands. She also made sure our cat was well cared for and loved while we were away. I’m incredibly grateful for Hunter and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and trustworthy pet caregiver.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hamilton is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $163 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 9,871 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hamilton. 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 Hamilton 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 Hamilton 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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!
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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
