“Carrie is an ANGEL! She was able to help us on super short notice, and took amazing care of our pup. We loved getting cute little summaries of her day, and slept well knowing she was in wonderful hands. Thank you so so much, Carrie! We will totally be using your services in the future, you did great with our girl!”
“I liked Chloe the minute I met her. She came over for a pre visit to meet my cats and learn about their routine. Ava and Tucker warmed up to her right away and I knew they would be in good hands. Chloe arrived on schedule for four mornings and five evenings to feed, play with and attend the litter box. When I arrived home from my trip, the house was in order, and everything looked as I left it. I’ll definitely request Chloe again. 🏠😸👍🏻👍🏻”

About: I treat every dog like family. With experience in both puppy training and senior dog care, I understand the unique needs of dogs at every life stage. Whether its providing gentle, attentive care to older dogs with mobility or medication needs, I bring patience, love, and reliability to every visit. I'm also comfortable with administering meds, following special diets, and offering enrichment activities to keep dogs happy and healthy while you're away. As a part-time worker and nursing student, I’ve built a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. Caring for animals is not only a great balance to my busy routine it’s something I genuinely love. Whether it’s early morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or weekend stays, I make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. My background in nursing also helps me stay calm, detail-oriented, and attentive to each pet’s health and behavior. In my client’s home, I aim to keep pets comfortable by following their usual routine as closely as possible. I make sure they get plenty of love, exercise, and attention whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or just relaxing together. I’m respectful of your space and always leave it clean and tidy. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I limit the number of pets I care for at once to ensure each one gets personalized attention. I keep a consistent schedule, maintain a clean space, and give pets lots of affection and enrichment throughout the day.

“Kristin was so sweet and dedicated. She took thorough notes at the intial meeting and kept in contact with me, even though i was completely confident. We had her booked during snowmageddon '26 and she insisted on trying to make it to our house on Sunday (we have an automatic feeder so there was no urgent need), even after she got stuck and dug her car out. She was so dedicated to our buddy Eliza (feline), like she was her own. I've already rebooked her for a future need.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hamilton
Hannah was phenomenal! I have a relatively high needs cat and needed a last minute sitter after previous plans had fallen through. She was kind enough to make time and meet us the next day, and did an excellent job taking care of Hazel while I was gone. Hannah was very responsive and clearly enjoys the company of animals which put me at ease ❤️
Emma did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Hazel while I was out of town. Hazel has several specific needs, like medicine, special feeding instructions, and grooming needs, and Emma handled her complexity with care. She sent daily updates while I was away, which gave me peace of mind to know Hazel was being looked after during a stressful time. Emma absolutely came through for us and I’d recommend her to anyone!
This was our first time ever using Rover and we were a little hesitant with having someone come into the house to care for our furbabies (2 cats) while we were on vacation. Enter in Kelsey! She was great! Kelsey showed up, took photos, and communicated greatly. We never had to worry at all while on vacation. I would definitely be booking Kelsey again for our next vacation to watch after our furbabies.
Cheryl was incredible!! She took great care of my dogs, as well as my house. She even brought my packages inside for me. She was very communicative and easy to get ahold of. 10/10 would recommend and definitely will be using her again for our pet care needs. My dogs loved her and she was very attentive to their needs. Thank you Cheryl!
Paige was so kind & very patient with my cat ! She made sure she had plenty of water & food every day! Even though my cat was very shy, she tried to give her love & attention in little ways. She sent me pics every day & was very responsive. She helped out with little tasks around the house too. Thank you Paige for taking care of my girl!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hamilton is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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 2,493 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hamilton. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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.
