“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.”
“Kathy and John were amazing! It was my first time using Rover so I was nervous about leaving my cat home alone while on vacation, but he was in great hands. I received multiple photos from each visit, and when I had questions or requests John and Kathy responded quickly. Cat was happy too :) Would definitely book with Kathy and John again.”
About: Over 10 years of experience caring for my own pets, fostering dogs for rescues and my local shelter, and pet sitting for friends and family. I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life from bottle-feeding newborn puppies to meeting the special needs of senior dogs. I’m experienced with positive-reinforcement training, daily walks and exercise, specialized feeding routines, medications and individualized care needs. Most importantly, I understand that our four-legged companions aren’t “just pets” - they’re family. I provide every dog with the patience, love, attention, and personalized care I would want for my own. While I work full-time, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide reliable pet care during evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’m happy to work with your schedule and your pet’s routine, whether you need a weekend sitter, evening visits, or extra care while you’re away for a holiday. My goal is to make your time away worry-free, knowing your pets are receiving plenty of love, attention, and personalized care. I’m happy to care for your dogs in the comfort of their own home, following your instructions and maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. I’ll tailor my care to your pet’s individual needs, whether that means feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training, medication, or simply providing companionship and attention.
“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.”
“Micaela was FANTASTIC!! Not only did she always reply quickly, she was very accommodating. She sent us multiple photos everyday and made a great connection with our cat. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Christy was great. Left updates and pictures the whole time. Comet was well taken care of played with and happy. Would definatrly have Christy care for my pet anytime im away.”
About: I have had dogs all my life. I have pet sat for dogs of all breed, age, and size. I was a bather at Petsmart and I worked at Red Bank Veterinary Hospital in Tinton Falls as a veterinary assistant and handled dogs all the time. I now work at Green Leaf Pet resort in oakhurst and I walk dogs, do daycare and more! I work 5 days a week. I have a set schedule that’s Monday’s, Tuesday's, Wednesday’s, Friday’s, and Saturday’s 2 pm - 9 pm. I’m able to stay overnight and during the day the days I work then I would stay all day on Thursday’s and Sunday's. I stay over at clients houses to keep the pets comfortable in their own environment. I keep the house tidy and can clean the house if wanted. I make sure that how ever the pet is used to there owners taking care of them I take care of them the same. I feed, take out, crate if they get crated, etc.

I work from home and have a flexible schedule to fit walks and provide adequate cares dogs need. 3-4 walks a day is what I typically can work with.

About: Hi, I'm Robin. I currently work as a nurse but have 10 years of experience as a veterinary technician at various animal hospitals.I was Fear Free certified at the last animal hospital I worked at and have experience with dogs, cats, and rabbits. I grew up owning dogs and cats all of my life and I have been a volunteer dog walker at an animal shelter since I was 16 years old. I currently share my home with my rescue dog, Riley and three cats, Willow, Julius, and Chase. I have off from work on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays so I am available anytime but also willing to do the occasional walk/drop in on evenings after work. I have a lot of experience walking my dog as I am in an apartment so I walk her frequently and a lot of experience walking other dogs in all kinds of settings.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I grew up on a farm. I know animals need excerise everyday as well as love and attention. If your life right now is a little busy and need someone to help out with your animals routine Ill be more than happy to take the job. Right now I’m not working, I have plenty of time to help out with your pets routine. I’m available 7 days a week, if that changes I will make note of it on this profile. I can do house trips to take your dog for a walk and give some attention. I can stop in few times a day/night if your traveling for work or just vacation. Also if you would like I also go to parks and dog parks if your dog likes to socialize. I have a female beagle mix named Khloe that I adopted 3 years ago. Khloe is very good with dogs and cats, loves to play. I have a 3 year old beagle mix named Khloe. She loves to play with other dogs big or small. If your pet needs to be separated from other dogs incase of surgery’s or they don’t get along well with others I can also do that! I walk my Khloe 3x a day at least 2x a day a half to hour walk each time around my neighborhood. I also go to dog parks and parks to walk!
“Kristin was so kind and helped us out last minute with a walk for our senior dog while we were out at a concert! Kristin was super communicative and came just when she said she would. Thank you so much, Kristin! Would definitely ask her again.”
About: Hello 😁 I have experience with dogs of all sizes but have an extra space in my heart for larger breeds. I grew up with 4 cats, so I’m no stranger to them either! All animals in my care receive “I love you’s” when I leave, and are talked to throughout the day. I truly treat them like I would my own. If I get the privilege of an overnight sit, you will always come back to a clean home, guaranteed ✨ I work from home, so I’m always available for longer sits as well as shorter visits and walks. Weekdays and weekends are great, I just like to plan ahead as much as possible. I make sure to honor specific and detailed instructions so that I can provide the same level as care as you do! I want your babies to feel like you never left. I’ll never fill your shoes, but I will surely try 🙂
About: I have 10+ years of pet sitting experience. I love walking and am happy to provide your pup with the exercise they need. I also specialize in senior dog care including medication administration. I am home full time so I can give your pet all of the love and attention they need. I am a very active person. I live in a pet friendly apartment with an outdoor space. I am happy to learn and adjust to the needs of each unique animal.
About: I was raised alongside litters of puppies and my life has revolved around animals ever since. My family consistently had 8-10 dogs in our home, ranging from big dogs like labs or American bulldogs to smaller dogs like French bulldogs or terrier mixes. Since I was in elementary school, I was tasked with feeding, grooming, walking and playing with all of our dogs. As an adult, I've helped my parents out in watching their many dogs (my dad has 12!) when they are out of town and pet-sitting for friends and family. I adopted my own two cats, who I've had since they were kittens, and love them with almost my whole heart - I have two ferrets that take up some space in my heart too. Ferrets are notoriously difficult pets to take care of, so if I can handle them and all their energy & mischief, I think I'm prepared to take care of just about any creature. I have been conscientious, responsible and caring for my own pets and I promise I'll treat yours the same way :) I work 9-5 on a hybrid schedule but, as a manager, I have flexibility in terms of remote work — I can always change my schedule around to accommodate yours! I need advanced notice for overnight bookings, as I commute into the city twice a week. I can always switch my-in office days with enough of a head's up, so please reach out if my current calendar availability doesn't align with yours! We may be able to work something out. Unfortunately, I know the feeling of coming home from a trip and realizing that some little things were unattended to by a friend I'd trusted with my pets: the water fountain was half full, the litter box hadn't been scooped in a few days, their 24/7 bird streaming YouTube video wasn't on (lol). Of course my pets were still fed, but it didn't feel like they were cared for the same way I would have. I promise that won't happen if I am entrusted with your pet. I am very good at noticing and handling those little details, even if you forgot to mention them, because that's what I would want. That said, I am great at following pet-care instructions, and I'll surely feed, walk, play with (and love) your furry friend according to the schedule you set out.
About: I’ve had a dogs in my family my whole life, and love dogs of all breeds. I help Family, friends neighbors care for their dogs when they aren’t home. I walk my own golden retriever 2-3 times a day down to the Brielle park and back plus we have a fully fenced in back yard. We also love to head to the dog park occasionally for some socializing. I have a flexible work schedule and am available to care for my dog and yours all day, everyday with morning and afternoon walks and many chances to go out in the backyard to play. We live down the street from the park, have a fully fenced yard, an9 year old golden retriever who loves all dogs and is very very chill. My husband and I have 3 daughters, 1 in college and 1 In high school and 1 in middle school and they love dogs and have been around dogs since They were born.
About: Hi! My name is Genevieve I'm a lifelong animal lover with a gentle, nurturing approach, and I understand just how much your dog means to you. I recently lost my beloved soul dog, and while no one can ever take her place, I've found healing and purpose in caring for other pets with the same love and attention I gave to her. Whether it's playtime, snuggles, walks, or just keeping your dog calm and comfortable while you're away, I treat every pup like they're part of my family. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your dog feels at home and you can have peace of mind. I’d be honored to care for your family member and will always provide updates, photos, and plenty of tail wagging joy. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Edit: I have recently moved, and since they don’t allow dogs outside of those you own, I will only be available for dog walking or visiting your home. One of the things that makes me a great sitter is that I work from home full time, which means I’m able to give your dog a consistent, calm, and loving environment. I can easily stick to their normal daily routine…whether that means feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just cozy companionship on the couch. I offer daily trips to your house for walks/feedings. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well being are my top priorities. I’ll always follow any rules, routines, or special instructions you provide, because I know that every dog, and every household, is unique.

Darlene is the best! Without even 24 hour notice, she was able to come take care of Leo. She even stopped over and met him first and he loved her from the second she walked in. Darlene is responsive, attentive, and gave me the full report on Leo during and after her visit. We will be sure to keep using her!
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!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hamilton is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per visit. 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 14,275 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hamilton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.

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 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.
