About: Veterinary technician with clinical experience, skilled in medications, senior and anxious pet care, and recognizing illness. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and focused on low-stress handling techniques. I provide consistent, reliable care with flexible availability for drop-ins, walks, and extended visits. I’m most available Thursday through Sunday and can accommodate a wide range of scheduling needs. With a veterinary technology background, I prioritize safety and low-stress handling. I carefully follow routines, monitor for health changes, and ensure a clean, secure environment while providing attentive, compassionate care in your home.
About: Hi! I’m a full-time nursing student (1 month away from taking my NCLEX) with a lifelong passion for caring for both people and animals. I’m currently working toward my next round of nursing prerequisites, and pet sitting allows me to do something I truly enjoy while helping fund my education. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have cared for three dogs, two cats, two guinea pigs, a hamster, and a rat throughout my life. Every one of them has been a beloved member of my family. My current dog has epilepsy, so I understand firsthand the extra attention and consistency that pets with medical conditions need. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets and those with higher care needs. I’ve administered insulin injections to diabetic dogs and am familiar with many common pet medications, as a lot of them are very similar to human meds(although I do understand that there are many differences) so I’m confident following medication schedules exactly as instructed by your veterinarian. As a nursing student, being attentive, organized, and calm under pressure comes naturally to me. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with the exception of Tuesdays, when I’m in class from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. This schedule allows me to provide reliable care before work, in the afternoons, evenings, overnight, and on weekends. I’m happy to accommodate morning potty breaks, afternoon walks, dinner visits, medication administration, evening drop-ins, overnight stays, and weekend care. If your pet has a consistent routine or specific medical needs, I’m committed to following their schedule as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. If you have any questions about my availability or your pet’s specific needs, I’d be happy to discuss a schedule that works for both of us! When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’m happy to administer medications, provide basic medical care as instructed, prepare meals, refill water, clean up after pets, scoop litter boxes, and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I love spending quality time playing, cuddling, and taking dogs on walks or engaging them in activities they enjoy. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and needs. I’ll also provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make your time away as comfortable as possible for both you and your furry family member.
About: I’ve grown up around pet care because my mom has done Rover for years. I’ve helped her with many of the dogs and cats she’s cared for, from feeding and walks to giving them attention and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. That experience helped me learn how to care for different pets and their personalities. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins to make sure every pet gets the care and attention they need. When caring for pets, I focus on making them feel comfortable and keeping their routine as normal as possible. Since I mostly care for pets in my client’s home, I follow the instructions they provide for feeding, walks, playtime, and any other needs their pet may have. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while their owner is away.

About: I’ve been a dog owner for my entire life and I honestly wouldn’t have had it any other way. I am very flexible when it come to all of the furry creatures of all shapes and sizes. I have dog sat for both family members and other family’s. I have had about 8 years of dog sitting. I am very reliable, trustworthy and determined. I would prefer if the dog were under 150 pounds, since I am a smaller person and not very muscular, but with that being said, I do accept all of the lovable pets. I do have another job as a CNA at blessing hospital, so I will need days and times you would like for me to be with your lovable pets. I hope to meet them soon 🙂! I do have l my weekly routine because I have two little fur babies on my own that I have to take care of every day and night. I have a home of my own that has a fenced in backyard so I can watch your little furry baby from my house. But i prefer to watch them in their environment that they’re already comfortable with.
About: I've experienced with most kind of animals and have a vet technician certificate for both large and small animal. I work with money animals and there's not much that will scare me off <3 I'm fresh out of college and I'm available almost always, I genuinely feel like taking care of animals is a reward rather than a chore, Please tell me even if your creatures are weird little stick bugs, birds Or a kangaroo! For whatever animal you have please inform me in advance of behaviors that I might need to keep an eye on or if they have medical needs or just general needs. If you have a cat who's a Maine Coon that needs a lot of brushing but is sassy when getting brushed I would like to know in advance. I will not discriminate even if your pet may be a bit aggressive to new people I just want to know for everyone's safety going into this and to ensure your pets have the best experience possible. Frequent bathroom breaks are given however if your animal has different dietary needs I would also like to know that. I'm well aware that some animals may not get along with one another while eating even if they get along fine during the day and I am also aware that some may eat non-Stop with food in front of them and for that I would have to limit their food to meal times. Everything I ask is for the welfare of your pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hannibal on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 23 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hannibal. 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 Hannibal 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 Hannibal 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 Hannibal 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.
