“We’ve booked with Kim multiple times and she is always reliable and communicative. One of our cats needs meds and Kim is great with making sure he gets what he needs. Our cats are comfortable with her and Kim has made it clear that we can trust her to take care of our boys. Thank you Kim!”
“Rachel is AMAZING! Such a kind, responsible young lady who has a genuine love for all fur babies and four legged creatures! She recently took care of my two cats and Labradoodle while I was away for a few days and it was obvious they were very well cared for. Would highly highly highly recommend Rachel.”
About: I have had pets my whole life. I have had three cats and three dogs before. I have helped provide medications to both a cat and a dog. I have cared for animals by doing daily visits, taking on food responsibilities, taking care of litter, administering medications, providing walks, and just overall play visits. Hi! I am a college student going into my sophomore year of college. While I am home for the summer, I am looking for nearby Petcare opportunities. My schedule is very open besides one week in August. I have two cats and two dogs myself. I care for my dogs by taking them out on a daily walk and providing them with food and water each day. They also get a lot of playtime. I care for my cats by providing them with food and water each day. One of my cats has a hyperactive thyroid so each morning and night I make sure to give him his daily medication. I have looked after my neighbor's cats by cleaning their litter box and feeding them each day with some play time and treats. I have also looked after my neighbor's bunnies. This involved feeding them their kibble with cut-up apples and carrots. I also changed their hay and water. Along with this I have watched over friend's dogs by playing with them, taking them out for walks, and providing food and water.
“Kelsie was so good with our senior dog, Cash! Our updates were thorough, thoughtful and caring. My kids loved seeing the pictures she sent! It was very comforting to know Cash was in such good care. I highly recommend Kelsie’s services!”
“Rachel was great taking care of my two cats all weekend. She sent photos and made sure they were well taken care of for all of the visits. She cleaned the litter box and was respectful of our home. Would definitely have her pet sit again for my cats and my dog as well.”
About: Hello! My name is Andie and I work at VCA South Shore Hospital in ER, ICU, Neurology and Internal Medicine as a technician assistant and have prior TA experience at Old Derby Animal Hospital. I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I previously went to the University of Arizona for 3 years studying animal sciences and transferred my junior year to return to the East Coast. I also have some experience with a handful of farm animals from my time at the UofA. Additionally some of my experience comes from working on home farms taking care of horses and alpacas; all of this meaning my knowledge of animals is extensive to give the best care for your furry friends! I have always had the passion for animal care and medicine which is why after graduating I will be continuing my schooling to be a CVT and hopefully someday a veterinarian. A few years back I had participated in boarding through Rover, but after a hiatus I decided to come back to continue with walks and drop in visits because even outside of my main job I love to be around animals! We have a small family dog, but other than that I have rescue retired racing greyhound, Moose, who has travelled far and wide with me. My pets also include many fish, a leopard gecko, chickens and ducks! All this being said, I would absolutely love the opportunity to be alongside your best friends and scratch the itch to spend as much time with animals as I can! I am available Tues-Fri after 4:00 and free Sat, Sun and Mon! I am currently working full time at VCA Animal Hospital where I can do drop in visits before and after work depending on location, Sat, Sun and Mon can be anytime. I can also do any walks after 4:00 Tues-Fri and anytime on weekends. I take care of your pets like they are my own. I think every one has their own needs and personality, there is no "one size fits all" for any animal. I try to learn your pet on an individual level!
About: I am a dog lover and would enjoying helping out with anyone's pup who needs an active sitter! I have work from home and have 2 dogs who are very friendly! I am currently working from home and have lots of flexibility with my schedule. Please let me know if you have any specific requests and I would be more than happy to accommodate! I have a fenced yard and my dogs would love having a new friend around! They are both social and love meeting new dogs to hangout with :)
About: I can handle dogs of all different breeds and love to treat them with the love and respect they deserve! I love what I do! I am currently working a full time job during the week Monday through Friday, so weekends work best for me to be able to take care of dogs. I can easily crate a dog if needed and will use what is needed at my clients house to be able to keep the dog safe and sound.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Currently in my house, we have 3 dogs and 2 cats that I help take care of. I have been on Rover for about 6 years. I am an elementary teacher and high school girls basketball coach. I am currently on summer break since I am an elementary teacher. This means that I have a lot of free time because I am not working anywhere else. I am a very active person, so I love playing with all dogs and taking them on nice, long walks. I have also been around dogs and cats my whole life, so I love spending time with all animals.
“Shannon is AMAZING! She agreed to take my Charlie out after a few sitters turned me down due to timing. She is reliable, punctual and dependable. I have peace of mind knowing Charlie is in good hands with her. She also takes great photos of Charlie :).”
“Abby was absolutely amazing with my puppy. She followed instructions, took initiative and truly cared for my pup like her own. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a reliable responsible punctual caring pet sitter.”
“I trust her with my dog and two kitties - that says it all! I can see in all the photos she sends that they love to see her when she cares for them! She even made sure to clean up messes the kitties made on the rug while I was traveling. Her honest and timely communication is very appreciated. Highly recommend Madeline!”
About: I've always loved dogs and cats and felt very passionate about them. I have two years animal shelter experience taking care of dogs and cats. This included feeding several different types of foods and diets to pets, ensuring pets' safety, cleaning cages and kennels, cleaning litter boxes, and taking out dogs into the yard. I am available most days and times every week to care for your pets. I offer mostly drop ins and I do have exceptions like I will be going on vacation this month so just message me within one day to request a booking. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I pay attention to dogs and cats body languages to ensure their safety needs and emotional needs are met. I let pets come to me first so that they can feel comfortable and safe around me. I treat every pet with respect and if they do not want to say hi yet, that is totally fine with me I will feed them and clean litterbox, etc and they will warm up to me eventually. I watch puppies and young dogs very carefully so that they do not get into trouble and I always make sure the floors are puppy/dog proofed.
About: I’ve always had a passion for animals and caring for them! They bring peace to my life and I would love to care for yours! I’ve had plenty of experience watching/walking my friends and family’s pets! I am currently part time as a pharmacy technician so I have plenty of time to help you care for or check on your pets! My car is dog friendly if needed to bring your pups on walks! I love hanging out with cats and playing with them as well!
About: I have two dogs of my own (and three children). I am a high school teacher, looking to keep busy in the summer months. I am very responsible and love animals! I hope I can help you with your pet needs. I am a teacher and am off for the summer, so I have lots of time to take care of your animals. I look forward to time outside and long walks. I am happy to come to your home or take your dog for local walks. If needed we can take a drive to find more suitable places to get much needed exercise in!
About: Something I think sets me apart from other sitters is my experience working at a doggy-daycare. That environment and the chaos that comes along with it has prepared me to take care of any dog of any size. Likewise, last summer I spent approximately 2 months unofficially training and dog-sitting a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy, so I have experience in taking care of younger dogs as well. I also have a bulldog at home, so I have a deep understanding in what it takes to take care of dogs of that nature. Starting Mid-May I will be interning, so depending on my hours I may be more avaiable in the afternoon or mornings. However, that means I have every Sunday free and would be able to pop-in and out frequently. We have an electric fence for my dog, but she does not wear her collar (classic bulldog) so we make sure she is supervised at all times. I will not let any dogs play unsupervised and would only bring them on agreed upon areas to walk, or anything else owners permit.
“Meghan took great care of Dakota while we were away for a few hours. She gave her lots of frisbee time, and breaks and water to cool her off because it was a hot day. She is very caring and a true dog person. :-) Dakota was so relaxed and happy when we arrived home. We found Meghan at the last minute and are so grateful that she was available. Such a relief. We highly recommend her.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hanover on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 9,270 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hanover. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hanover stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
