“We are so grateful that Shaun stepped up to check in on our pup as we quickly needed more help caring for her during the day. Shaun is kind, caring, communicates clearly. I love getting a note about Shaun’s visit with Louise, who is hesitant with new routines but who is doing great with Shaun.”
About: I grew up on a farm with horses, pigs, sheep, cows, a dog and a cat. I particpated at a young age taking care of them (feeding, brushing, removing manure). Throughout my life I have had personal pets as well as helped care for pets of family and friends. I currently work full-time remotely M-F 8:00am-5:00pm. I also have a 9 year old son. I am typically available weekday evenings after work and weekends. I have a runner that extends from the side entrance of my house to my detached garage with a partially fenced backyard. I live in a safe neighborhood and have great neighbors. Three of my neighbors on my street work for the police department.
About: I’m a wildlife biologist and have experience caring for all kinds of species but my favorite are dogs! I’ve fostered and raised dogs my entire life so I have experience with senior dogs, pups, aggressive dogs, and dogs with special needs. I love puppies of all ages and breeds and I’m excited to treat your babies just like my own! I am currently not working so I am available 24/7! I will send pictures and updates of your pup and provide plenty of potty breaks and walks! I have one cute corgi named Moose and he is the sweetest and gets along with everyone! My boy is kennel trained and up to date on all of his vaccines but I will keep him separate from your babies since he’s young and too playful for most dogs!
“Lily provided excellent care for our cat Hobson. Our directions were followed completely and we enjoyed the daily photos. Hobson is in excellent condition after this booking. We are very grateful.”
“Amelia was incredibly responsive and took excellent care of our dogs when we had to leave town unexpectedly. She sent daily pictures and was very friendly and professional. We will happily book her again the next time we need a dog sitter!”
About: I've always had dogs or cats as pets. I currently have 2 dogs now. Dashy is 16 year old Dashhound who was severely neglected and abandoned at 13 and Beau now 8 is a Rat Terrier mix adopted as a puppy. Both boys are very friendly, happy, healthy and quite spoiled. I also have my Pet CPR & First Aid cert from Red Cross as well as some behavioral training. I work best senior, handicapped and terminally ill pets though the fee may change depending of medical need. I'm retired and I have full daily availability from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and some night time availability as well as overnights. Overnight rates are based on 1, 12 block of time. I have a fenced/blocked back yard, another fur baby and plenty of room for them to play. Grass, gazebo and lawn Charis for them! The inside is spacious, has AC and safe for dogs and dog friendly cats.
“Sarah did a great job with our dogs Mercy, a 2 yr old very energetic Shepherd and Blu an equally energetic 2.5 yr old Heeler. We contacted Sarah via Rover only a few days before our trip, she came out the following day for a meet and greet. We liked Sarah from the minute we met her, the dogs did as well! Communication was great. We loved the pictures Sarah sent us. Sarah even went so far as to research and replace the batteries in our keypad entry system which started flashing after we left. We will definitely call on Sarah the next time we need to leave the pups at home. We highly recommend Sarah if you need a trusted dog sitter. Thank you Sarah!”
“Jessica is super reliable, always on time and very responsive, providing lots of photos. I always feel comfortable having Jessica do drop in care visits for my cat. I know she'll be well cared for!”
“Toni is a true animal lover! She sent me dozens of photos and truly spoiled my cat. While away I had no worries over quality of care and was able to relax on vacation knowing my cat was loved. Thank you Toni!!!”
About: We are the people you are looking for to help, care, and watch over your pet family. Joe and Erin at your service. Let us know how we can help your pets when you aren't around. We love all animals big and small. We are very capable, and have experience with many breeds and sizes, including experience with poultry and livestock. We look forward to meeting you and your fur family! We follow a weekly pet care work schedule to make sure your pets are taken care of based on our agreed commitment. We prioritize the schedule, and operate on a first come, first serve basis. At an initial meet and greet, we come prepared with questions. We use a written questionnaire covering your pet’s routine, personality, health, and quirks, along with home access, expectations, and emergency plans. We want to understand your pet holistically, so they get the seamless care and love they need. We then use this as our guide when they are in our care. We carry professional pet care liability insurance covering pet sitting, dog walking, and house sitting. That includes animal bailee (pet protection) coverage, which goes beyond what a standard liability policy usually covers. It’s there to protect you and your pet if the unexpected happens while they’re in our care. Our policy also includes veterinary reimbursement, so if your pet needs urgent care during a visit, we can get them to the vet right away. We’re covered for lost keys too, so your home access is protected. Proof of insurance is available on request. We’ll keep you in the loop with updates that fit your schedule, and we’ll always treat your home and your pet with the care we’d want for our own.

“Carla provided exceptional care for our cat during our 2-week trip. Communication was excellent and the daily photos of our cat assured us that all was well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hampden is $30 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $46 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 171 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hampden. 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 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 Hampden. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
