About: I been around dogs since I was 12 years old and have been dogsitting for 2 years now! I have experience with many breeds of all sizes. I would love to spend some quality time with your pup! I am very active; I love walks, hikes, and just being outside. I am up early in the morning and home most of the day. I have a large yard, and though it is not fenced in, pets will always be leashed and supervised. I have a quiet neighborhood behind my home and many parks nearby for some great walks. My favorite part of dogsitting is spending time with them, so we’ll be together pretty much 24/7!

“Emily was wonderful with our Great Dane! She was prompt, kind and patient with her. She was very in tune with our pups needs during their walks, and was so mindful on the very hot days to take it slow or return for water when needed. Our pup is known to have some undesirable behavior on walks, and Emily came a few days early to meet her, learn her nuances and took notes so she was prepared to manage it. Looking forward to working with Emily again!”

About: I grew up on a small farm and have always loved creatures great and small. I have always had pets and have been a caregiver for friend’s dogs for years. I welcome the opportunity to slather love on more critters 🩷 **Please note** Beginning September 1, 2026 I will be working from 8:45AM, my teenage son (more of a dog lover than even me!) arrives home at 3:15P - if your dog cannot be on their own from 8:45-3:15 we would not be the right fit. ** In warm weather I can leave the back door open allowing dogs to come in and out as the please. I have a fenced yard and a sweet 6 year old plott hound (Mojo), many fish, an axolotl (Buggie), and a hamster (Donut). My husband and I have two boys aged 10 and 12 who love animals as much as I do.

About: Finding someone you trust with your pet is a big decision, so I focus on providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care every time. I’ve spent over 10 years working with animals in a variety of professional settings, including as a dog groomer, and at an animal hospital. Those experiences have taught me how to safely handle dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, while also recognizing when something doesn’t seem quite right. Whether your dog loves long walks, prefers to stop and sniff every tree, or just needs a little extra patience, I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and treated like one of my own. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know what makes yours happiest. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and believe communication is just as important as great pet care. You can expect plenty of updates and photos from me! I know our pets are family, and my goal is to make every walk a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged best friend! I’m currently a full-time student, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. Since my classes are planned in advance, I can easily work around them to provide reliable walks and visits. I enjoy being active, so spending time with dogs fits naturally into my routine. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, an evening outing, or care while you’re at work, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that meets your needs. Your dog’s safety will always be my top priority. With over 10 years of experience, I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ll use safe leash-handling practices, stay aware of our surroundings, and always treat your dog with patience and care. I’ll also keep you updated after each walk, so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands.

About: I’m a devoted dog lover and stay-at-home pet caregiver with a friendly, nearly 5-year-old beagle who adores canine company. I have lots of time to cater to your dog’s needs—whether that’s plenty of cuddles, neighborhood walks, or longer hikes—and our beagle has a calm, social temperament and has never met a dog he didn’t get along with. He even helps new dogs settle in at daycare thanks to his gentle nature. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and energy levels and tailor walks and activity to each dog’s needs (short, slow strolls or more active outings). Safe, attentive care and lots of affection are guaranteed—happy to discuss routines, feeding, and any special needs your dog has. I’m currently not employed so my days are flexible. Any doggos that come to the house will be joined by our friendly beagle. Walks are completely up to your discretion. I will do whatever is easiest and the most safe for your pets. We have a crate in our house that can be used if needed. We also have a yard that is not fenced in.

About: (PLEASE review my photos and read through my profile to ensure I’m a good fit for your dog, we want to keep everyone safe!) I offer boarding and daycare with pick-up and drop-off services Monday through Friday. With over 15 years of experience working with dogs, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs. I started by helping family and friends, then volunteered at a local shelter, and today, I work full-time as a dog walker and sitter — and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’m committed to going above and beyond to meet each dog’s individual needs, no matter how big or small. I want every dog in my care to live their best life! I know how important it is to maintain a dog’s routine and to never cut corners, especially when working on behavioral issues. I look forward to meeting your dog and supporting them on their journey! Safety and Fun Are My Priorities Over the years, I’ve learned a few key things that help keep the environment safe and fun for everyone: • I require a meet-and-greet before any boarding stay, which includes a day of daycare. This allows me to see if your dog is a good fit, gives them a chance to meet the other dogs, and helps them feel comfortable and familiar before their stay. • At mealtime, I feed all dogs individually to avoid food aggression and to ensure each dog stays on their specific diet. • For dogs requiring medication, I administer it privately and carefully, to ensure it’s properly taken and to prevent any accidental exposure to other dogs. • I do not allow toys, bones, or personal beds from home during a stay. This helps prevent any territorial behavior or conflicts. Rest assured, I have plenty of comfortable bedding, engaging toys, and safe chews to keep your pup happy and entertained while they’re here! I can’t wait to welcome your dog into my pack and help them thrive! Daily Schedule: • 6:30 a.m.: Wake-up/morning bathroom break • 8:00a.m -9:00a.m.: Breakfast •. 9:00 a.m.-Morning daycare pick-ups (Monday–Friday) • 10:30a.m. – 12:00 p.m.: Playtime in the yard, with breaks as needed • 12:00 p.m.: Lunch • 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.: Quiet time/rest • 2:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.: Afternoon playtime in the yard, with breaks as needed • 4:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.: Afternoon daycare drop-offs (Monday–Friday) • 6:00 p.m.: Evening bathroom break • 6:15 p.m.: Dinner • 7:15 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.: Evening play session • 8:00 p.m.: Relaxation and quiet time • 9:30–10:00 p.m.: Final bathroom break and bedtime I have three separate fenced-in yards to keep things fun and engaging for the dogs, giving them plenty of space to run, play, and explore. There are multiple crates available for individual feeding or for dogs who might be a little too curious and like to explore things they shouldn’t. I also have my yard treated for ticks and mosquitoes every month to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for everyone. And that’s just the beginning! I provide a wide variety of toys and enrichment activities to keep the dogs mentally and physically stimulated. We do sensory games, have food puzzles to challenge their minds, and even offer quiet, cozy spots for rest and relaxation. Whether your dog loves to play, learn, or just lounge in the sun, there’s something here for everyone to enjoy!

About: Holly is the founder and primary dog walker at Down With Dogs Pet Care based in Weymouth, MA. She has cared for animals since a young age and is licensed, insured, and pet CPR and first-aid certified. Rescuing her dog, Rumi, and training her inspired Holly to want to work more with animals. She found that reactive dogs especially respond well to her calming nature and clear communication style. She also has a senior cat with medical needs named Coco who is her first baby. Holly has a special place in her heart for the kittys too! With a background in Marketing and as a registered yoga teacher, Holly started caring for her neighbors’ dogs in 2022 while they were away on travel. Four years later, she worked with a local dog walking company before starting Down With Dogs in 2026. Her signature offerings include dog walks, hikes, small play groups and drop in visits during the day time while pet owners are away at work or vacationing. Holly love spending time outdoors and getting to know your pet’s routine while offering them the critical exercise and companionship they need to live a long healthy life! Message Holly to discuss your pet care needs today! I enjoy walking dogs or making house visits during the week days when my children are at school (mornings, mid day, and early afternoon). I’m also available for evening and overnight visits in your home on a case by case basis. I’m looking to find clients who I can grow with and essentially become a part of the family. For now I’m offering care in your home or visits with your dog like walks, hikes, or play groups at an outdoor dog park. For overnight visits, I recommend visits 3 times in the day: once in the morning time for breakfast and a walk, once again in the afternoon, and then a night time visit as well before bedtime.

Wonderful to work with. Great with communication, on time, and was available last minute to walk my pup after another sitter bailed on me. They both understood that my pup can be nervous and went slow with her and even brought some treats to help her feel more comfortable. Thank you both!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Hanover is $28 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $50 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 9,207 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hanover. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Hanover. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Hanover after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hanover. On Rover:

  • 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers 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 walker.
