“Jeanette was so good with our dogs!! She left our house spotless and even washed the sheets she used. She was amazing at keeping us updated and sent us cute pictures of our girls. I would definitely recommend having Jeanette (Donna) keep your pups company while out of town.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I also have my own fun baby, her names is Maple. She has problem with your affections and sensitive skin. So I can clean ears and can apply medicine. I currently have an part-time a job, I will sit and play with your for babies for as long as I can, as often as I can. Even though my fur baby would love it if I was with her twenty 24/7. But I know she loves have her treats more. I let the Fur babies decide what they want. If they want me to sit on the couch and pet them for an hour, I'll indulge them if they have no interest in me being around. I'll leave the room and let them have their space.
About: I’m dependable, loving, and attentive, treating every pet like my own. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with seniors, and dedicated to keeping every pet happy, comfortable, safe, and cared for. I work mostly nights so I will be able to walk or take care of animals all throughout the day! I can do anything before 3! I take my cats very seriously, if there is any sign of anything I’m immediately take them to the vet, I feed them twice a day with a mixture of wet and dry food and some probiotics! And I play with them for at least an hour a day!
“Tristan did an amazing job caring for our four pups! It was clear they were happy, relaxed, and well cared for while we were away. He kept us updated with plenty of photos and thoughtful stories about our fur babies, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us feel connected to them the entire time. We returned to a clean home and four very happy dogs. We would gladly trust Tristan with our pups again!”
“Emmeline a was very flexible with scheduling and I was pleased to see how much she enjoyed my dogs. They all have their quirks and she was very cool with their personalities. I got lots of updates and photos, but best of all if anything weird happened in the house (like a gate breaking outside or packages arriving) she was quick to communicate and try to make things work. Thank you so much Emmeline!”
“Kira was great!! She was supper attentive and called or texted if she thought anything was off with our babies! Our 3 pups loved her and she treated them like her own!”
About: Hey! I’m Hunter! I’ve always loved animals, and I’ve spent the last 3 years working at a humane society, as well as some time working at a doggy daycare. So I’ve gotten to meet (and clean up after) just about every kind of dog/cat personality. I’m pretty laid-back, reliable, and I genuinely enjoy hanging out with animals. Whether your dog wants to run around and play, go for a walk, or just chill on the couch, I’m happy to do whatever they’re comfortable with. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone, so I’ll treat them like they’re my own and keep you updated while you’re away! 🐶🐱 I have completely open availability. I am able to work with any schedule. Whatever your pet needs, I can provide it. I enjoy making animals my priority! I want every pet to feel comfortable and safe while they’re with me. I’ll take the time to get to know their personality, routine, and any specific needs before I start caring for them. I’m also happy to follow your usual routines as closely as possible, whether that means walks, feeding schedules, medications, playtime, or just giving them some extra attention.
“Kristina is amazing! We’ve never left our 8 year old vizsla with anyone but family so we were a little hesitant to try Rover. We are so lucky to have found Kristina. She stayed at our house for three nights while we were out of town. We received text and photo updates multiple times a day. She took wonderful care of Riley and our house. We will 1000% book with Kristina again.”
About: I’ve taken care of my friend’s dog while out of town. I love doggos and hope to adopt my own in the future! I used to be a teacher for many years. Right now my schedule is very flexible! I’m a homebody and love going for daily walks. I’m a very clean and organized person. This makes it easy for pets to roam around freely and safely! My husband unfortunately is allergic to cats so I will not be hosting cats in our home. If your cat is hypoallergenic (short haired and bathed beforehand) we can discuss overnight stays!
About: I have taken care of animals since i was a child! I personally had 4+ dogs/cats at a time growing up since I was 5 years old and even now! As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home the majority of the day and night, which allows me to give consistent attention and supervision. I only step out briefly for school drop-off/pick-up or short errands, typically no more than a few hours total. Your dog will not be left alone for long stretches and will be treated like part of our daily routine, with regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of interaction throughout the day. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We live on 2 fully fenced acres, providing plenty of secure space to run and explore while always supervised. When indoors, pets are part of our family environment — relaxing, playing, or cuddling in a calm and clean home. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to ensure they feel safe and at ease. My goal is to create a structured but loving environment where your pup feels right at home.
About: My jack, Russell terrier, Chili passed away in August of 2022. The house feels empty without a dog running around, but I’m not quite ready to be a full-time permanent mom just yet. However, I would love to take care of your loved one in My Home, and the house would not feel so empty. I have a fenced in yard. It’s not very big but plenty of room for a small, medium dog. I make your pet my first priority. I used to work from home and that was great because I was able to be with the pups all day and night. I now will be in the office on most week days. I do not work far from home so if needed, I can pop in at lunchtime. I have a fenced yard. Your fur babies are welcome on my furniture and the bed but if you prefer them to be crated, that is fine too.
About: I’ve worked with and had the honor of loving dogs from their puppy years all to the way to their final senior years. I am compassionate toward and love caring for animals of all ages, breeds, species. I’m the person that everyone I know goes to when they need animal care or for someone to show extra love to their pets. I volunteer at the animal shelter, love being active and going for long walks/runs, so pets will always get their exercise in (but also love lounging around and cuddling animals just as much!). I currently work part time and take online classes, so having the privilege to work with animals as much as I get to makes me feel so lucky! Getting to take care of your pets and make them feel at home is the best part of my week. I offer any type of accomodations that clients need for their pets! I’m happy go out for long walks, play in-home, or be active in back yards or dog parks. I accept animals of all types - dogs, cats, rats, all of the above!!
“Jasmyn was so wonderful! She sent daily updates and went above and beyond to make sure my dog and myself were comfortable. I will 100% be using her as my go to dog sitter from now on!”
About: I grew up with many pets and have been dog/ cat sitting since I was 9 for friends and family, alongside my own golden doodle now! I’m currently working part time at nights and I love dog walking in the mornings. I have plenty of time every day until 7 to walk!! I have a golden doodle and no yard so I often take him on walks and outside to potty every other hour. I also love the dog parks in the area!
“I can not recommend Oscar highly enough. He did such a great job staying with Finn. Super attentive to details and great at providing photos and updates. Plus my apartment looked better than when I left!! I will definitely book him again.”
About: Hello! I’ve worked at an animal shelter & had the responsibility of doing the nightly routine for them before leaving to come the next day. neighborhoods dogs all the time. I’ve always been involved with animals, especially dogs. I’ve grown with knowing more about dogs and their behavior. I love caring for dogs even if it isn’t my own, I have good customer service & I’m willing to show that you can trust me to care for your companion! I am home most of the time so I have time on my hands, I’m available anytime during the week. My schedule is open 24/7😊 I believe dogs need potty breaks every 2 hours, your dog will be safe with Me. I can definitely read body language on a dog.( I have a dog park in my apartment building)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hanahan
Donna was an awesome fit for Lucy and our new puppy Matilda. She sent pics and she also cleaned up the house before she left. She washed the sheets and made the bed so we didn't have to do it when we got home. She also prepped Lucy's food which helped as well. Would definitely recommend her for your fur babies and we will be using her again. They were very well taken care of.
Since our normal sitter was not available we had to find another which is stressful. Aaron was amazing with our pups and cat! One of our dogs had developed a small hot spot on his foot a few days before our vacation and Aaron went out of his way to bandage it up to make sure he would not continue to lick it when he noticed him doing it more and irritating it. Will definitely use him again! It is nice to now know we have several options when one doesn’t work out.
Katlyn was a great sitter! She left my apartment spotless, took great care of my cat, and sent me lots of pictures and updates. She was extremely responsive, answering my initial request within minutes. She came by to meet Iggy and immediately fell in love with him. I felt extremely safe and confident leaving him in her care. I will definitely reach back out to her for any future sitting needs!
Carla was amazing! My kitties absolutely loved her. She took such great care of them and sent me the best photos while I was away, which I really appreciated. It was so nice knowing they were happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Carla and would happily have her kitty and house sit again! 🐾❤️
Liz was fantastic! She sent plenty of photos, checked in regularly, and responded quickly whenever I reached out. My dogs clearly loved her and were happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

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 Hanahan 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 Hanahan 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 Hanahan 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 , 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 .
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 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.
