“John took great care of our dog, and was excellent to work with. Prompt communication, and he was very accommodating and supportive with an injury our dog has. Highly recommend.”
“Christina was amazing with our 50lb boxer. He is very high energy and when he got home, he was worn out. I would definitely recommend her and hope to use her again as well!”
“Lisa was the perfect person to look after my puggle. Lisa and her family treated Maisie was their own which was very important to me. I would highly recommend her.”
“Gabriel was great in taking extra steps to care for Coco while I was out of the country. He sent pictures and updates that put me at ease! He has a wonderful home and yard that my dog enjoyed. I definitely would recommend him for your animals stay. I knew Coco was safe.”
“Brendan and his family made sure our pups were cared for and happy while we were on vacation. We appreciated his updates and wouldn’t hesitate to book him again!”
“Mike and Annie took great care of my baby. It was her first stay and I was naturally a bit nervous. They were amazing and sent me pictures along the way. They even cooked her chicken when she wouldn't eat. Thank you so much for taking such good care of her.🩷”
“We have a very timid and Anxious puppy and Tasha and Joseph really knew how to handle him and slowly introduce him to their home and other dogs. He ended up doing great with their dogs and I’m not even sure he was excited to see me when I picked him up! Thanks again guys and we will definitely book again ?”
“Misty was wonderful and sent photo and message updates about how Moona was doing and helped make her feel comfortable being away from home and soothe her anxiety. Highly recommend!”
“Nicole was so sweet to our girls. She’s very accommodating and her communication was great! She sent us a bunch of pictures and videos to keep us updated. She has a great yard for your dog to run around. Highly recommend her. I will definitely be back.”
“My nervous 1 year old dog seemed to have a lot of fun and be very happy staying with Chrissy. She got to play with other dogs and even got bathed. I would definitely have Josie stay here again.”
“Patrica is THE BEST. We’ve left our little guy with her several times. She takes him on lots of walks every day and sends lots of pictures and video updates. Apollo is always excited to hang out with his buddies (her other dogs)”
“Teah and Eric are THE BEST!!!! I could tell my puppy loved them and felt comfortable at their house right away. Teah sent updates throughout the day as well as AMAZING photos and videos of her playing with the other pups!!! I WILL be booking Teah and Eric for any upcoming trips I may have and you should, too!!!!”
“Kanika and Jan were great! They sent updates frequently and have been so understanding and accommodating with my schedule. Will continue booking with them in the future, I highly recommend them! They also administered medication to my dog when he was sick. They are awesome!!”
“Kimberely was truly exceptional with my dog, Rooster. She treats every dog she watches as if they are a member of her own family, and it genuinely shows. From her daily updates, it was clear she took the time to understand Roo’s unique personality and little quirks — something that meant so much to me. Rooster can struggle with separation anxiety, and this was our first Rover experience where, when I arrived to pick her up, she happily greeted me and then immediately went back to playing instead of making a beeline for the car to go home. That alone speaks volumes about how safe, comfortable, and loved she felt in Kimberely's care. Her home is also clean, cozy, and perfectly set up for dogs, with a fenced-in backyard that gives them plenty of space to play and relax. I can’t recommend Kimberely highly enough. Knowing that I have such a wonderful, trustworthy sitter makes me genuinely look forward to my next trip — and I know Roo will too.”
“Loved what Jancie did with my dogs. They got attention from her all day. She sent pics several times during the boarding. My dogs were relaxed and seemed happy there. I highly, highly recommend Janice. She will get my business again. It was easy and low stress to deal with her!”
“Karen was GREAT with our golden retriever Max and I would totally work with her again! Our family went were away for a week and wanted to leave Max at a house so he’d have 1:1 care instead of boarding, We hadn’t met Karen previously but from the first minute we talked with her it was obvious she was a dog person and Max would be in great hands! Thanks Karen!!!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including both large and small dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, turtles, and fish. My professional background includes working at a veterinary clinic for several months, followed by a year and a half at an animal humane society, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals with diverse needs. I currently work at a doggy daycare, where I continue to build my knowledge of canine behavior, safety, and care. In addition to my professional experience, I have provided dog and house sitting services for family friends. I am experienced in caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs, ensuring they receive the patience, attention, and specialized care they require. As a lifelong animal lover, I also care for a variety of pets of my own, including three dogs, five cats, a rabbit, and a betta fish. My hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments allows me to provide dependable, compassionate, and attentive care for every pet as if they were my own. I work Monday through Friday, typically from 6:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., which gives me plenty of time each afternoon and evening to provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and companionship for your pets. I also have weekends completely free, allowing me to dedicate full days to giving your furry family members the love, attention, and care they deserve. I am committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and always follow the owner's instructions and routine. I strive to provide at least 30 minutes of playtime and enrichment activities during each visit. For pets without access to a fenced yard, I also provide approximately 30 minutes of neighborhood walks, depending on the pet's age, size, energy level, and overall health. Afterward, I continue engaging them with indoor play or enrichment activities to keep them mentally and physically stimulated.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Hamilton is $40
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hamilton
We found Rover after a family member who was supposed to watch our dog got sick. Robert was able to accommodate our last minute request to watch our dog, Zara, for a week. At the Meet & Greet, he was very gentle and attentive to Zara and she took to him almost immediately. He asked about her schedule, likes/dislikes, etc. He made feel us feel comfortable and put our minds at ease. Robert communicated with us often, sending pictures, videos, and updates. Zara was happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend Robert, he's a great dog sitter!
If you are looking for someone, reliable, communicative, honest/trustworthy, respectful, and very loving, Morgan is the one for you! Morgan went out of her way to make a last-minute booking work for us, taking a 45 minute drive TO OUR HOME just to do a meet and greet to make me feel more comfortable (my puppy was boarded in her home). Morgan kept me in the know with my pup’s care, was very patient, and didn’t make me feel like it was a hassle at all for her to watch my puppy (despite how high maintenance she is)! It was clear when I got my puppy home, that she had been very well loved! I am very thankful to have found her, and if you book her, you will be too! I seriously cannot say it enough, Morgan is amazing! I will definitely be using her again in the future.
I'm pretty careful about who I let watch my dog because he's can be reactive if he gets stressed enough. Only people who are really good with dogs can watch him successfully. It was immediately clear to me that Kelsey knows dogs and dog body language really well by how she handled the meet and greet. Also her dogs had really high EQ and were really good at reading his body language. I'll be back here the next time we have a trip. If you need someone really good with dogs go with Kelsey.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
90% of Hamilton sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Hamilton landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hamilton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Hamilton.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Hamilton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
