“Thanks to John and Kathy for their attentiveness to Mick! He warmed to John very quickly and appreciated all of the cuddles and attention. Thanks so much !”
“Erin was very kind and caring with my two cats that are very frightened of strangers. It was good to see the pictures of them to see they were doing fine without us there for their first time with us being away for a long period of time. She was very prompt in getting to them at the designated times. I will definitely request her again.”
“I have never left my kitty in the care of a stranger before, but when Wendy came to our home to meet us, I was reassured by her obvious love and understanding of cats. She connected with my kitty as soon as she walked in the door, and took excellent care of him while I was gone. Even during the recent blizzard she made sure he got all the care he needed.”
“Jessica is extremely reliable. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and is a true extension with training our 8 month old Havanese, Pebbles. The consistency adds to Pebbles success. The lond voice and affection Jessica gives to Pebbles is appreciated and genuine. We highly recommend Jessica!!”
About: I am a 10 year pet owner and volunteer at animal shelters walking dogs. I love to go on long walks, play outside, and giving lots of love and treats! I am a current college graduate looking for some part time opportunities. My schedule is very flexible and this allows me to spend time with animals which I enjoy! I am responsible for the grooming and feeding of my own cats and dogs- talking them on walks, cleaning and making sure they are safe.
“Mary was awesome. She accommodated a pretty short notice request for our first time for a drop-in. And while our dogs can be anxious around new people, she had no concerns and took them out and played with them and they had a blast. We will definitely be using her services again.”
“Anahi is a wonderful person and sitter! She is friendly, kind, and a great communicator. I was very nervous as it was my first time using the site to find a sitter, but I made the right choice booking Anahi. I was not expecting my shy cat to interact with her right away, but from the first visit, she was sharing pictures of them playing together, and him seeking her out for affection as she walked in on the second visit. I do believe animals are a great judge of character and I will be booking her for my next trip. Highly recommend.”

About: I grew up with dogs. A dog, sometimes two or three, was always in our house and a part of my family. I’ve been around dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds, understanding each one is unique and needs certain care. I have helped train a chocolate lab (a very energetic boy named Brody) from a puppy. I understand dogs are a part of your family and will provide that love and care towards them. I care for my two cats, Avy and Moose along with my partner. Since we share responsibilities of our cats and my 9-5 job is remote I am able to schedule sits and walks regularly. My girlfriend and I currently have two cats who are a part of our everyday lives. They like to wake us up and sun bath by the windows. We love them
“Sylvan is wonderful with our very tentative rescue kitty. Lilith even sits on Sylvan’s lap-the ultimate endorsement! We missed out Lilith but knew that she was well cared for by Sylvan who went above and beyond for us.💖”
“As always, Madison is absolutely amazing with my cat. He loves her! She is prompt and sends the best pics. She is so trustworthy and highly recommended!! She has become my sweet Oliver’s regular sitter since I travel quite often.”
“Carly was a blessing to have while we were away. We have two senior kitties who both require medication and she was able to administer it all. Super communicative and personable. Highly recommend and will use again.”
“Catherine was exactly what I was looking for while my family went on Vacation. She was quick to answer and very flexible when it comes to taking care of the animal and their needs. 5 stars will be using again.”
“Emily is fabulous with our dog, Milo. She also did a great job caring for my mom’s dog who is staying with us. She came on time, took the dogs for a walk (even in the heat!), and sent photos and great communication. We love having Emily help us when we’re away!”

I have been around both my entire life, which has helped me become comfortable with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I understand that every pet is unique and deserves patience, attention, and reliable care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I am committed to providing attentive care, companionship, and plenty of affection while you’re away. I currently have full availability from Friday through Sunday, allowing me to dedicate quality time to your pets and ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine.

I am also available for morning, evening, and overnight care depending on your pet's needs. Having grown up around cats, dogs, reptiles, and horses, caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life. I enjoy spending time with animals and am committed to providing reliable, attentive care while keeping pets comfortable and maintaining their normal routines. When caring for pets, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and making them feel comfortable and safe. Having cared for my own three cats, I understand the importance of providing fresh food and water, a clean environment, playtime, and plenty of attention. In a client's home, I will follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, litter box or waste cleanup, and any special routines your pet is used to. I also enjoy spending quality time with pets through play, companionship, and enrichment activities to help them feel relaxed while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every pet with the same care, patience, and attention that I would give my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hamilton
Absolutely amazing, super knowledgeable, immensely loving, sweet, and patient with our fur-babies!!! We have yet to have ever, even once, found such a kind, responsible, communicative and absolutely unparalleled person - let alone such a dynamic duo - as these two!!! My partner and I can both tell for 100% sure, from all of the gorgeous, super adorable, photos that Kathy and John take on each of their drop-ins and long walks with our two doggos, that they cannot wait for the next time that Kathy and John come to care for them 🥰😍🤩. Each and every visit, they go for long walks, smell all the sniffs in our neighborhood, play games inside and outside, and get all the food, water, love and attention that they need!! They are simply the best!!
Rachel was great! Our dogs loved her. Not only did she feed and walk them to go potty, she spent time playing with them in the yard. They loved chasing the ball and getting belly rubs. Rachel is a sweet and caring person and would highly recommend her to care for your fur babies!
Tori has been an amazing help! She’s looked over my cat twice now and has done a great job of communicating with me while keeping my cat comfortable! I had to extend my vacation last minute and Tori was very understanding and accommodating with everything. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!

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 .

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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
