“Lea took great care of our two cats while we were away. From our first meeting, the cats immediately took to her; we could tell she got along great with cats and knew all the best spots for ear scratches and petting. I loved the photo updates during our trip, and the detailed notes she left. When we got home the litter box was well maintained, there were no messes, and the cats were happy and fed! It was great peace of mind to have Lea looking after our cats.”
“Ashley was so great! She took great care of our pup, who can be a little difficult. She kept us up to date, spent quality time with Zoey, sent several pictures and took her on several walks. We can’t thank her enough!”
About: I’ve cared for animals since I was a kid. Dogs, cats, lizards, hamsters, chickens— you name it! I love animals and would love to meet yours. I am happy to help out whenever I can— I do seasonal work so I am in between jobs right now and my schedule is flexible. Just like with humans, I believe in the importance of animals getting enough mental stimulation and physical exercise to create happiness, healthiness, and reduce anxiety!
“Joanne took care of our cat while we were traveling for 2+ weeks. She came to our house and made sure everything was in order and the plants watered besides looking after our cat’s needs. There was time for playing and our cat warmed to her quickly. It was such a relief to know she was in good hands during our absence. We are definitely planning to hire Joanne again in the future!”
“Shena was professional and friendly. She checked-in on and fed my kitty. She kept the schedule requested and sent me updates and pictures. I am very happy I chose Shena to feed my kitty while I was gone for a weekend. I would definitely request you again Shena if you are available the next time we need pet care for Sydney.”
“Celina was excellent! There was a miscommunication on my part, but Celina handled it with so much understanding and she did a wonderful job with our very hyper Aussie. She sent us photos and updates at every check-in. I would highly recommend her for drop in visits.”
“Really appreciated Mackenzie looking after my 2 cats while we were on vacation! She kept me updated on when she dropped in and when I got home everything was exactly as I wanted! Will definitely have her back :)”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m a lifelong dog owner and an experienced equestrian, so I’m very comfortable being responsible for animals of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, and needs, and I’m happy to follow whatever makes them feel most comfortable while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, feeding, keeping up with a specific schedule, or simply giving them plenty of attention and company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. My experience working professionally with horses has also made me extremely attentive to animal behavior and the little changes that can indicate when something isn’t quite right. I’m dependable, patient, active, and comfortable with everything from energetic pets who need plenty of exercise to animals who just want someone calm to hang out with. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable while they’re with me — and I’m always happy to send plenty of photos and updates along the way! I’m currently home with my mom in Leesburg while taking a break from competitive professional horse showing, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. After years of having my daily routine revolve around horses and animals, pet care fits very naturally into my life. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks and drop-ins, as well as longer visits, weekends, and overnight care when needed. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s established routine to keep things as consistent and comfortable as possible while you’re away. Safety, trust, and making each pet feel comfortable are always my top priorities. With years of professional experience caring for horses and animals, I’m very accustomed to following detailed routines, reading animal behavior, and noticing when something seems out of the ordinary. For dogs boarding with me, I want my home to feel like a comfortable home away from home. I’ll follow their normal feeding, walking, exercise, and sleeping routines as closely as possible while giving them plenty of attention, affection, and activity. I’m also available to stay in a client’s home when that’s where their pet is most comfortable. I’m very respectful of someone else’s space and will keep your pet’s routine and home environment as consistent as possible while you’re away. For walks and drop-in visits, I follow all instructions closely and am careful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding, and any other specific needs. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m coming to them, I’m happy to provide plenty of photos and updates so you can feel confident that they’re safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Sofia rearranged her schedule to take my last minute request for a dog sitter to stay with my dogs in my hotel room while we ate dinner. Since one of my dogs is special need, I need someone like her who I could trust to know how to handle those needs. There was great communication and I felt totally confident leaving my dogs with her.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since my early teens. Majority have been my personal pets and have lived very spoiled lives full of lots of love and belly rubs.

I make it my job to ensure that all pets, whether they are my own or a strangers, have all of the necessities they need such as food, water, and comfort. They’ll be sure to receive lots of love and pets under my care.

I have cared for large dogs, such as Labs and Pit Bulls, as well as smaller breeds like Pomeranians, Pugs, and mixed breeds. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets with special dietary needs or medications. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog's individual needs, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hamilton
Reagan was amazing with Pepper! 💕 She was always punctual, responsible, and so caring. Pepper absolutely loved her! 🐶❤️ I’m so glad we met her, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets. Thank you so much for everything, Reagan! You’re the best!
Nicole was amazing with our 2 dogs and kitty. We were on a 2 week international vacation and I really appreciated her detailed check-in notes and photos. We have one dog who is skittish and Nicole came over for a meet and greet and a practice visit before we left just to make sure our dog would be comfortable and our dog warmed up to her on the first meet and greet! She kept everything tidy, used up our treats (which I hoped she would with our spoiled girls!) and everyone seemed happy to see us but definitely not lonely. We will try to use her for every trip from here on out and highly recommend for pet drop ins and dog walking!
We had a wonderful experience with Lea! She took perfect care of our two cats, sent updates and photos after each visit and kept their food and litter box areas as neat as a pin. She also brought in our mail and packages so I never had to worry about Amazon deliveries sitting outside. Lea helped us really relax and enjoy our vacation, knowing everything was being taken care of at home. We would definitely recommend her and would not hesitate to book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hamilton is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 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 5,982 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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
