“Our first time hiring outside of family membets so we were extremly netvous. The rover site was a nice easy platform and process as well. We chose Janice and we knew immediately at the meet and greet we chose the right person for us and Louie our 2yo Cavapoo. She had us feeling at ease and comfortable thruout the visit that we had no issues to worry about. She provided a pic and feedback to us while away. She was very professional,friendly, kind and knowledgable. Through our comunications with her i knew she loved and nutured all animals and safety was of utmost importance. She is a very loving and conscientious knowledgable caretaker and would not hesitate to hire her again! The very best and Louie and our family are very fortunate to have found her, we thank you Rover!!”
“Avery was great watching our dog Luna at our home! She arrived punctually and kept our puppy happy and healthy! The house was perfectly clean when we arrived back from our trip and Luna was very happy! Could not recommend more highly!”
“Catelyn was great! Very communicative and sent plenty of updates and photos of our dogs while we were away. Our house was clean and tidy when we got back, and she even put our pool furniture away for us to prepare for an incoming storm. Would definitely recommend!”
“Hannah was great with the kids. They took to her right away and settled in. She listened to our instructions and gave great updates. She kept the house clean and the dogs were well cared for. They are looking forward to having her back !”
“Laura stayed with our dog for 2 days and was fantastic. She sent lots of pictures, followed our directions to a T, gave him lots of attention and walks. She was very caring, and responsive and we felt extremely comfortable with her there because of it! Highly recommend and will definitely be scheduling with her again.”
“We wholeheartedly recommend Kimberly as a puppy sitter! She recently took care of our energetic puppy, Banksy, for 12 days while we were on our honeymoon, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met Kimberly, we felt completely at ease leaving Banksy in her care. She provided regular text and photo updates, which we absolutely loved and looked forward to – it was so reassuring to see Banksy happy and well-cared for. Kimberly went above and beyond by taking Banksy to dog parks for socialization and exercise, something he thoroughly enjoyed. A huge bonus was that Banksy got to stay with Kimberly's own dog, Henry, who he adored! Not only did Banksy have a buddy to play with, but Henry was also fantastic at teaching him valuable dog manners. Kimberly's home is a safe and inviting environment for puppies. Knowing she works from home provided us with extra peace of mind that Banksy was getting constant attention and care. Her years of experience caring for animals truly shone through in her confident and capable approach. We were also incredibly impressed that Kimberly continued Banksy's training and even furthered some of the things we were working on. It was evident that she paid close attention to his needs and was committed to his well-being and development. We were so grateful that Kimberly was available on very short notice when we had unexpected issues with our previous pet sitter. Her flexibility and willingness to help us out were a lifesaver. If you're looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and loving individual to care for your puppy, look no further than Kimberly. She is truly exceptional! Warmly, Banksy, Brian, and Cece”
“Yassy house sat for my dog and two cats for over a week and a half while I was out of the country. She was excellent at keeping a consistent schedule and was quick to ask questions when something wasn't clear. Feedback I would offer her is to send more frequent updates / pictures versus me having to check in, but all in all it was a pleasure. Definitely set my mind at rest with my fur babies.”
“Abhay was absolutely amazing. On first contact, his enthusiasm to meet and greet both us an our animals was encouraging. We knew from first meet that we could be confident and comfortable leaving our babies and our home in his care for two weeks. We were not wrong. Everything went as planned and our babies and our home were cared for perfectly according to our requests. We would, without question, request his services again and highly recommend to others.”
“Colleen and her boyfriend took wonderful care of our dog and cat while we were abroad. They left the house spotless, and Colleen even got our shy cat to come out of his shell! Highly recommend them for peace of mind while you're away.”
“Kelly was amazing with our Luna! She went above and beyond to care for our pupper: taking her on long walks, to the lake, playing with her, and sending us lots of updates! I couldn’t recommend Kelly more highly!”
“Sara took great care of my Dane while I was out of town. She was flexible and responsive, sent updates on how my guy was doing- which was much appreciated being so far away and having not left him before. I would absolutely recommend Sara and work with her again!”
“Kailey was great! We have a brand new puppy and our older dog injured her paw, so it certainly wasn’t the easiest job but she handled it like a pro. She was communicative and professional.”
“Olivia was very accommodating for a last minute dog sitting request and did two meet and greets leading up to it because my dog can be nervous around new people. They clicked well immediately and it was a huge relief to leave Sadie in great hands. Sadie had a blast with Olivia and I will definitely have Olivia watch Sadie in the future!”
“Breanna was excellent! Very compassionate caring for our senior dog Maya! She put our mind at ease on very short notice to attend our daughters wedding that was out of town. Can't thank her enough!”
“Hannah is super friendly and did a great job with our puppy! We had lots of specific directions for our puppy and she followed them without any issues. Great communication and sent us pics while dog sitting. Would highly recommend her!”
About: We have a large, very clean, and safe home with a big backyard. There are plenty of trails and sidewalks for walking around our house as well as a variety of parks nearby we can visit. I stay at home and will be available all day to supervise care for your dog(s). My three teenage kids will help provide care and are very responsible, loving, and diligent caretakers. Our own 2 small (4 lb) chihuahuas, Mocha & Lacey, are used to having other dogs around. When your dog(s) stay with us, you can be sure that they will be well loved, safe, and welcomed into the family as one of our own! We would be happy to keep you updated with pictures of your pet during his/her stay. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I currently stay at home and am available to care for your dog for most of the day. My husband also works from home quite a bit and helps as well. We have a large back yard but also love taking the dogs on walks through the nearby trails in the woods. Both my husband an I walk every day so there is plenty of opportunity for your dog to get out.
About: I have nine years of experience owning and taking care of an adopted dog. I have about two years of additional experience pet sitting and walking with dogs of all sizes, from young to senior pups, as well as cats. I am a recent college graduate currently job searching, so my schedule is very open at the moment. I am available most weekdays and weekends for overnight stays or daily check ins. The safety and health of your pets will be my number one priority. I will make sure your pet gets more than enough attention, exercise, and love!
About: Does your pet need a little extra care? Mine too — and that's exactly why I do this. My 9-year-old terrier, Lucky, has chronic kidney disease, so I'm experienced with daily medications (including injections), special diets, and post-surgery aftercare. If your pet's routine has to be followed exactly, I get it — I live it. I offer drop-in visits, dog walks, and overnight house sitting in YOUR home — early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I don't board in my home (my pup has little-dog syndrome and only tolerates about two dog friends!), but I'm happy to come to yours, where your pet is most comfortable anyway. Cats welcome too! You'll get photo updates at every visit, and I'll follow your instructions to the letter. Pet care fits around my full-time job in the best way: I'm available for early-morning visits before work, evening drop-ins on my way home, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I care for pets in YOUR home (I don't board in mine…my pup has little-dog syndrome and keeps a very exclusive friend list!), so your pet stays in their own comfy routine. Need something outside those windows? Message me! I'm happy to try to make it work! Your pet's safety and your home are treated like my own. I follow your instructions exactly: feeding, medications, and routines down to the letter (I'm experienced with oral and injected meds and special diets). Doors and gates stay secured, pets are never left unattended outside, and you'll get photo updates at every visit. If anything ever seems off with your pet, you'll hear from me right away. And everything is locked up and tidy when I leave.
About: Hello! My name is Kayley and I currently work from home. While caring for your pets, they will be with me all day. My schedule is very flexible and allows me to go on walks throughout the day. I love animals and would love to care for your furry family members! I had a German Shepard named Sarge growing up, who recently passed away. I don’t plan on getting my own dog right now in my life, so I thought pet sitting would be the perfect option for me. I have pet sat for many families over the years and have a passion for animals. I can take your dog to the beach, dog park, or on a long walk! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, making me available to pet sit for over nights! One of my goals is to eventually have a dog walking/pet sitting business full time. I have a large yard that is right next to Wompatuck State Park. If your pet is more comfortable in your own home that works for me too! Currently I am remote for my job, so I am available during the week and weekends! I am available all day to tend to your animals :) I love taking walks, behind my house are many trails that super enriching for dogs. I also love going to the beach for a nice walk or even the dog park!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hanover
Lora was great with our 1 year old husky mix Violet, who has very high energy and is quite stubborn and strong. We got daily updates and photos. She stayed at our house and took great care of the house as well, including filling holes that Violet dug in the backyard and washing the sheets. We would highly recommend Lora.
Liz was great with our puppy Sammie! She was very communicative and took excellent care of our pup and house. Sammie is in her adolescent phase so requires a lot of attention, and Liz didn't seem phased by her mischievous behavior. Will definitely use her again!
I could not recommend Shauna more! She stayed at our home with our pup for over a week while we were on vacation and our house and dog could not have been in better hands. She sent wonderful updates/photos and cared for our place as if it were her own. Having someone so responsible while being away made our trip just that much more enjoyable. We can hardly wait to have her back and I know our furry friend agrees! Thank you, Shauna!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hanover is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $105 per night. 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 5,527 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hanover. 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 Hanover 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 Hanover 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 Hanover 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.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
