“Janice took wonderful care of our two kittens and our cat in her drop-in visits. She was intuitive with them and was able to give them the individualized attention they wanted. We appreciated that she was practical and took care of our pets like they were her own, and she managed to get vomit out of the carpet- totally above and beyond! We hope to book with her again!”
“Cailin truly went above and beyond for our kitty. A true professional in communication and care! She not only made sure that Millie was fed, pet, played with, and litter box cleaned, but she took the initiative of watering my plants and retrieving our mail. We’ll definitely be booking with Cailin again in the future!”
“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. 🏠😸👍🏻👍🏻”
“Kind to all my “kids” who were happy and content when I got home. This drop in is a bit extra with our special needs pup. Jen managed her needs beautifully. Thank you for the care and peace of mind.”
“We used Alexa twice within the first week we met her and we are very happy to have found her! Lexi enjoys her visits and we feel very comfortable knowing that Alexa is taking good care of her!”
“Emma was amazing. She was able to help me with very little notice. She was attentive & very communicative. I felt super comfortable leaving my fur baby with her and I will definitely book with her in the future.”
“Jennifer was fantastic with my cat, Emily! She did drop-in visits and was incredibly reliable and communicative throughout the entire time. She sent detailed updates and photos each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Emily was comfortable and well cared for, and I really appreciated the extra attention she gave her. I came home to a happy cat and everything just as I left it. I would absolutely book with Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Bethany was very professional and my dogs absolutely took to her the minute she walked in the door. She gave photos every day and messages about their day. Very responsible and reliable. I will definitely be using her going forward.”
“Gabriel was attentive, caring and wonderful with our pets. He was reliable and we will definitely be using him again. We loved seeing the updates. The pets loved him too! Thanks for all your help!”
“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!”
“Tereasa is great with our dogs! She is reliable and a great communicator. She lets you know how the drop in visit went and provides plenty of pictures of her visit. Highly recommended!!”
“Callie was great with communication and solved a problem with a food mixup to make sure our dogs were taken care of. She is definitely someone I recommend for drop in support. Thanks Callie!”
About: I've taken care of my family dog for 6 years, and I also was entrusted with my friends and family's dogs since I was 9. Currently, I am doing volunteer work and shadowing physicians as I am home for the summer from college. I am available majority of the week and weekends. I make sure to let our animals have their separate spaces for when they are in need of a rest. They also have fulltime access to food and water, and I have a fenced in yard with enough room to run around. In a client's home I will make sure your pet has food, water, and a clean place to go to the bathroom. I will ensure they are mentally stimulated with plenty of play time and cuddle time.
“thank you so much for looking after my cat and my bunny. edina also administered meds to my cat who is going through some health issues rn and i had ease of mind knowing he wouldn’t be off his meds schedule :)”
About: I owned a pug who was blind and deaf , and took care of him daily. I also help my neighbors with their dog and I help my parents. I have fostered a dog before and believe being around animals is great for your soul ! I'm available for house sitting and stopping by but the time varies. Weekends and weekday evenings are best but It can change . I enjoy being outside and taking walks , so walking your dog would be a pleasure ! I have a lot of love to give to the fur babies .I'm also very active so it takes a lot for pets to wear me out . I have 2 cats at the moment , and they live with my daughter and I. I feed them in morning and evening and have even been training them on leash walking. It's quite amusing. My cats are my world so I always make sure they are well taken care of and healthy. I also take care of my parents dog quite often.
“Steven is truly amazing! He showed so much care and attention to our 3 dogs. He is excellent with communication and we will definitely continue using him. I trust him with my dogs care and the safety of our home as well!!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Hamilton is $20

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 for Pet Sitting in Hamilton on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 .
As of August 2026, there are 2,547 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hamilton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
