“It was such a relief to know Rachel was stopping by twice a day to check on my cat. It was my first time leaving him and I felt really bad. This was very helpful. I will definitely reach out again whenever I need to leave town in the future.”

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: 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: I've had dogs my whole life. I have experience with puppies through seniors and small to large dogs. I have a lot of flexibility with my time and can be available as needed. Happy to take dogs on walks or care in their own home. I am a stay at home parent, so I have a lot of flexibility for times I'm able to help out. I'm happy to work around whatever your schedule and needs are. I am very good at reading a dogs mood and cues for their needs. I can tailor my care for the needs of each individual pet. Whether they are more comfortable being inside their own home, like to play in the backyard, or go for walks in the park, I can guarantee they will have a great time and feel safe.

About: I am the proud owner of Lilly. She is a sweet and fun loving Lab mix who loves to play and spend outdoor time with other pups. She is well trained and obeys many commands; especially when treats are involved😁. Lilly would love to go on local walks with your dog or spend dedicated blocks of time (play date) at our residence in East Bridgewater (fenced back yard and open land adjacent to property). Lilly would start with a meet and greet to get acquainted since the priority is your dog only for the walk or dedicated play date. Lilly likes to go on walks multiple times a day. She has been asking for play dates for several years😁. She is excited at the opportunity to meet your pup. Aside from short walks in your neighborhood, I have a fenced back yard and open land adjacent to our residence. These areas will be primary used for play dates with Lilly. The play dates are dedicated to your pet and no other dogs will be present during the date.

About: Becoming a dog mom in January 2026 has taught me so much about caring for puppies and understanding their unique needs. Over the past several months, I've gained experience with potty training, crate training, daily walks, feeding schedules, socialization, enrichment, and all the energy and love that comes with raising a puppy. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet because I would want the same for my own dog. I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog's personality and routine. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners confidence that their furry family member is in good hands. I work full-time on a hybrid schedule, with three days working from home each week. Because I have a young puppy of my own, I spend much of my free time at home and maintain a flexible routine. This allows me to provide attentive care, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. My puppy is still learning and can be a little shy around new dogs at first, but she is friendly and typically becomes more comfortable with proper introductions and time to adjust. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. As a puppy owner, I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and close supervision. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions. My puppy is friendly but can be a little nervous around new dogs initially, so I take introductions slowly and always prioritize a calm, safe environment. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is being cared for like family.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Hanover

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hanover is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $44 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 November 2026, there are 9,080 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hanover. 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 Hanover. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% 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.
