“Alison is the best! We have 2 small dogs who are nervous around new people. It took less than 15 minutes for the dogs to warm up to her in the initial meet and greet. She watched the dogs at our house for 4 nights and did an amazing job. Her communication was excellent, with check ins and pictures a couple times a day. She kept the house clean and tidy. The dogs were snuggled and played with. We’d be happy to have her back anytime! Definitely recommend her services!!”
About: I'm a caring and dependable pet sitter with a genuine love for animals. They've always had a special place in my heart, and I take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. From feeding and potty breaks, to snuggles, walks and play time, l'm committed to treating every animal like they're my own. I am currently working part-time while exploring my long-term career goals. Because of that, I have plenty of time to give your pet the care, love, and attention they deserve. I have always had a genuine love for animals, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. I truly enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m comfortable meeting new animals and focus on helping them become familiar with me in a calm, reassuring way. I prioritize making them feel safe and comfortable, then provide them with plenty of attention, care, and affection.
“Kelle was wonderful with Dany and Sadie — caring, reliable, and attentive. She gave us regular updates, which gave us real peace of mind. We truly appreciated her and would happily work with her again!”
“This is our second time using Hannah and she was so great! We loved how she communicated with us daily on how Cash was doing and sent photos. She left our house as nice as we left it. She also started our dishwasher and washed our towels! We would highly recommend Hannah!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life, both big and small! I've helped take care of my family dogs since I was 7, and been working with dogs beyond my family for 2 years. I have experience working with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with disabilities. Your pup will never be wanting for affection! I'm working full-time during the week, so I am available for house sitting on weekends. I am available for dog walking and play dates during the weekday evenings and weekends. I can provide your fur baby with the bathing, brushing, medicating, exploring, and loving that they need to thrive. I have a small, friendly pup of my own who can play with your dog, and a car that can take them to the dog park if desired. Otherwise, I'm more than happy to provide them every comfort of their own home.
“Shylina was so sweet with our June who is a little anxious- she was calm with Shylina right from the first meet and greet! The house was just as we left it. We got lots of photos of a happy June, too! Thank you so much Shylina. We will be calling on you again!”

“Anna was a phenomenal sitter and took excellent care of my four senior dogs. She was kind and attentive, sending periodic updates while I was away. I will be using her services again in the future, and I highly recommend her to others for house/dog sitting.”
“Nick is an awesome pet sitter! He and his wife, Mary Kate, took great care of our dogs and cats during a last minute weekend stay. Helo and Lupa loved spending time outside and playing fetch with them. They sent pictures and were quick to respond to texts. We’ve booked him again for another weekend so we highly recommend him and Mary Kate!”
“It was so nice that Ashton sent photos of our dogs every day. They were well cared for, and we never worried about them in his care. He was flexible and kind. Would book with him again any time!”
About: I have taken care of dogs as large as an Italian Mastiff and as small as mini schnauzers. I am comfortable and confident with handling dogs of all temperaments. I currently go to college full time. I only have classes in the mornings, so my days are pretty open to spend time with dogs or take them on walks. I currently have 4 mini schnauzers at home and provide them with a safe and loving environment. I would bring that same care for your beloved pet.
About: I have had pets all my life. I have had dogs of mine that I’ve trained . I know how hard it is to leave pets behind so helping people take care of them while they are gone is a passion. I currently work part time in the mornings and have a very flexible schedule. I would be happy to help your family out when needed. I have 1 frenchie and 3 cats. Our yard is fenced in. If no fence, I ALWAYS use a leash! Safety is my top priority!
About: Hello! My name is Griffin, I'm 21 years old and I absolutely love to work with animals! I have had dogs and cats in my home my whole life and I have two years of prior experience working in an environment that supported boarding, daycare, training, and even rescue work with pregnant strays and puppies! Shortly after I started working with dogs I realized that not only did I love being with them all the time, but I really loved training and watching each dog progress. In March of 2026 I attended my first training conference. After seeing so many aspects of that side of the dog world I decided to pause working at the facility I was at and began dog training school online at Karen Pryor Academy. I am still continuing to learn more through schooling, but after a few months I was ready to put my learning to use and began on Rover! During my time at the conference I was able to learn more about Pets for Vets and speak with them throughout the weekend. The work they do is so heartwarming and I couldn't help but want to be a part of their service animal training eventually! I love to work with all ages and breeds of dogs! During my time at the boarding facility I handled a wide variety of breeds and I always look forward to meeting new ones! Recently I have been working on training with three puppies and it has been amazing watching their progress. Working with animals has been such an important part of my life and I couldn't imagine it any other way! If you think I might be a good fit for your pet please don't hesitate to reach out! I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! -Griffin Working at a boarding and rescue facility I work with dogs daily and for hours at a time. I own one dog as well that I work with around the house daily! I am able to do walks, feeding, bathing, nail trims, play, and continue any training that your dog may currently be working on! I am also open to working with anxious or less confident dogs as well as handling more than one dog at a time!
About: Full time college student which allows for flexibility. I have dogs of my own but trusted with family and friends to care for their pets as well. I have classes Monday-Friday with a super flexible schedule especially mid-day. I work part time and I’m easy to schedule with for your specific needs. My favorite part of my day is taking my dogs outside for a walk, and I would love to take care of your dog(s) with the same love and care. I am able to crate your dog if you prefer, walk them safely, potty breaks during the day if needed, any TLC your dogs may need.
About: I have been involved in lots of pet sitting throughout my life. In high school and in college, I was trusted to take care of animals often. I love dogs unconditionally and I am personally getting a puppy in June! I believe that all dogs deserve great care and I will be sure to shower them with love! I can do Monday-Friday and occasional weekends. I do not work in the summers and this is a perfect fit for my own schedule. I enjoy exercising daily, so dog walking would be a perfect addition. Daily walks of course! They enjoy getting to see people and feel loved. I always want to make sure a dog is comfortable. I am always doing my best to make sure a dog is receiving the best care and unconditional love. They are constantly kept up on their feedings and treats of course!
About: I love pets and have taken care of them in my family as well as for others since the age of 12. I also have experience with all sorts of farm animals from helping at my grandparents’ ranch every summer— horses, cats, chickens, dogs- you name it! I’m truly an animal lover and will treat your pets like family. I'm a recent college graduate with a very open schedule! I am very flexible and free most weekdays and weekends to help care for your pets :) I'll treat your pets like my own and make sure they are as safe and comfortable as possible. Honest communication about how to best serve their needs is always helpful, such as crate/potty/eating habits and expectations.
About: I have cared for many dogs over the years. I love taking our Mokes to meet other dogs and exercise areas to meet new pups! I am also comfortable administering medications, and have been a nurse for many years. I love taking our dog everywhere I go and your dog would be treated, just like my own! Throwing a ball and long walks are what every dog loves, so let me help you with your busy schedule! I’m currently working full time during the day, most weekdays. I am available evenings, on the weekends and most all holidays! I can be very flexible with last minute needs. I have one very friendly chocolate lab, that loves to have new playmates! I can also easily crate your pup, if that’s what you prefer. We love to take walks to the nearby park and play fetch. I also like to watch animals in their own environment if that is where they are most comfortable!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 184 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hammond. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Hammond walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Hammond maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Hammond choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
