“Brandi went above and beyond for our old girl. I never would have expected to have such an amazing experience and I am forever grateful for all of the attention, treats, walks, love, and care Brandi gave our special needs pup. I hope she never stops being available :D”
About: I’ve had dogs for over 24 years and have cared for all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve always been a dog lover, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I know every dog is different, and I’m comfortable following their normal routine and giving them the attention, patience, and love they need to feel comfortable and happy. I work from home, so I’m home throughout the day and have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they need. My schedule is pretty flexible, which allows me to easily fit in potty breaks, playtime, walks, feeding, and lots of attention throughout the day. I have an unfenced front and back yard with plenty of room for outside time and play. Since the yard isn’t fenced, dogs will always be supervised and kept safely on a leash when needed. I’ll also follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide so they feel safe and comfortable while in my care.
“Anneli was super thorough with everything. We were anxious free throughout our trip not having to worry about our cat. She is a great communicator and doesn’t hesitate to go out of her way. I really recommend her!!”
About: My name is Donald, Baltimore native, who has been sitting pets for as long as I can remember. After being on Rover for the last 6-7 years, I can say I have met some amazing pets and people and gained amazing experience (and incredible patience) when it comes to caring for dogs and cats alike. I have had an amazing time between French bull dogs and Burmese Mountain mixes. I’ve had stays for one night or three weeks. I’ve had dogs that were not potty trained and those who could only pee in specific locations along their usual route. I have sat for dogs and cats where the dogs had issues going up and down stairs, where cats were having behavioral issues with the litter box or needed multiple medications through the day. While I will let you know if a situation is too much, I will always take it into consideration. Book me today and I can almost guarantee you will also book me tomorrow. My schedule is pretty routine and also flexible in many aspects making it easy for me to work with whatever schedule your pet may have. During days I work, I’m away for 7-8 hours at a time, some remote work with enough notice. Outside of work I have a very relaxed lifestyle typically consisting of reading, watching movies, playing games or cooking. I treat clients pets the same way I treat my own pets which is with love and understanding. Pets have feelings too and are typically nervous when away from their normal family, but providing a comfortable and fun environment to keep them occupied is important. Same goes for the home. I live by the principle that you should always leave a space better than you found it. From ensuring everything to do with your pets is clean and safe to whatever space I used is clean and fresh as well. Whatever cleaning supplies are available I am happy to use.
“Christina was the best cat sitter we have had! Extremely responsive, extremely attentive to our three cats with very different personalities. Sent us a ton of photos to keep us updated and even helped us grab our mail when we got an unexpected delivery. We will 10000% rebook with Christina again!”
“Madeleine was wonderful! She was available at the last minute, very flexible, and had great communication throughout the process. She took excellent care of my dog and made the entire experience stress-free. I really appreciated her responsiveness and willingness to accommodate our needs. I would definitely recommend Madeleine and would happily book with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 11 years old! They’ve ranged from dogs to cats to turtles to birds and more! I’ve loved every second of it and I would be honored to care for you fur baby, too! I’m currently working remotely with great flexibility so I’m able to work around whatever you need! It gives me the ability to care for pets on your schedule! I love to learn what a typical day for your pet looks like so I can adapt to their needs! Some pets need playtime to keep them happy and engaged and some pets need a calm environment to relax in - wherever your pet falls, I’ll be ready to accommodate!
About: I’ve been a pet owner most of my life and have taken care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I am the one they always rely on to care for there’s pets and I hope to do the same for you. I’m currently looking for a job, so I will have lots of free time to care for your pets, and with flexible scheduling to what days you might need. Caring for pets at the client’s home I would make sure to ask where they keep the food, treats, toys for the pets, and cleaning supplies just in case if they make an accident by chance.
About: Since I was young I’ve loved dogs and have had lots of experience taking care of different breeds. A lot of people say I have a knack to connect with dogs with different dispositions well. I’ve helped friends family members train their young puppies over the years and am looking to get a certification in that soon! I currently choose my own schedule. So I have plenty of time to keep your pups company. I’m available most days before 5pm and after 10pm I’ll take care of your pups by giving them undivided attention and leaning in towards their specific personalities and encouraging them to be themselves .
About: Dogs, cats, horses, pigs, I’ve taken care of them all. From the smallest of animals to the largest I have experience the mental aptitude to handle multiple animals. I have taken on rescue dogs, and cats for 3+ years, and been the go to person by friends and family for watching their pets for extended periods. For our boarding dogs I can provide free bathing, safe paw clipping (granted the dog allows it), minor grooming of small dogs, a safe and fun environment. I’m currently living with my boyfriend so the dogs will get double the loving. He is a full time work from home employee with the leisure of working on his own time and pace. I’m a freelance graphic designer with the ability put all my needs towards animals at a moments notice. With the purchase of our house, and our family living near by we hardly travel and can accept pets at a moments notice. Our house is barebones with not a lot to get into. With the addition of multiple pets we understand that some animals may get anxious. We have the ability to separate animals between areas of the house (upstairs and downstairs) while providing them plenty of room still, and walks done individually at the clients request. Our most unique feature is all walks can safely be performed on our own land and doesn’t need to be done in busy areas. We sit on 2.5 acres perfect for walking, and for the more adventurous dogs we have 20 acres just across the street. We require all dogs to be treated with a flea and tick medicine, if you think your dogs medicine will lapse while in our care feel free to leave it with us and we will get it applied. Fleas are an unfortunate common occurrence especially when you have a large amount of dogs come in for boarding, day care and more.
“Did a meet/greet with Sophia before her drop in visit with my pups and she was great! During the drop in visit she did all the things we asked as well as updating us during her time with my pups. So glad we found Sophia and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their fur babies.”
“Jason was fantastic. When he came by to meet my dogs, I knew he was going to be great. He got right down and played with them... our boy dog Mojo can be very slow to warm to people but he lived Jason instantly. He’s also very accommodating to humans. We look forward to having him visit again!”
About: Whether you're looking for someone to help get that daily exercise in, to assist in taking them out for their potty breaks, or just be around to provide the socialization and care that your pup craves, I would love to provide that time to tend to your pup's needs. I have years of experience with many different breeds, and have assisted with leash training and behavioral training. As a fellow person with three pups and a cat (Shelties, named Moose, Eevee, Zora, and Zuko (cat) ) of my own, I understand how important it is to invest trust with someone for personable care over your companion. I can ensure your pup is my top priority for you and your family. Let me provide the peace of mind that you deserve, and schedule all of your pups service needs today. I work near home and my wife works from home. Your pets will always be cared for and we have years of experience with pets. Our property is in a great area and we have the space to accommodate. We live in a quiet neighborhood with helpful neighbors and great dog parks nearby.
“Carolyn B. is very dependable and thorough. She sent me pictures and communicated very well with me. This is my first time using Rover and I will request her in the future. She did extra little things while I was away and as time went on I felt very confident with her coming into my home and taking care of my fur babies.”
About: I am a big animal lover! I have had many animals growing up (cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pig & ducks!) I also pet sit for a family who had 3 cats, I have worked with them for 1 year now. I currently have an orange tabby named Theo, he is my world. Me & my spouse adopted him 2 years ago from the Humane Society & he has been the perfect addition to our little family. I am here to love your fur babies! Please feel reach out me with any questions. Thanks! I work a regular full time job. I have fostered 2 cats before and it was a wonderful experience.

The animals have plenty of space to move around and be free, or sleep super comfy on my furniture.

I also make sure pets get plenty of exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles based on their personality and energy level. I know being away from their owners can sometimes be stressful for pets, so I create a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and cared for.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hanover
Christine was incredible! Super professional, asked a lot of questions, and easy to communicate with. She went above and beyond in her drop in visits with our dog, gave updates, and provided great photos. Would absolutely recommend her and use her services again
Gabriella was phenomenal. My cat loves all new people but my adoptee dog is wary of new people and takes a bit of time to trust new humans, she was amazing at making her comfortable and updating me on how both pets were doing. I’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend Gabriella to anyone
Nia did an absolutely phenomenal job with our babies! We have never had a pet sitter before, but we decided we’d give it a go for this trip away from home. From the moment I saw her profile on Rover, I could tell she was such a good person and then once we met in person, I confirmed that! Nia took care of our 5 babies while we were in Tennessee, and completely put our minds at ease knowing the great care they were receiving!❤️ Nia consistently updated us with very detailed messages and the funniest/ cutest photos! (She’s really great at taking action shots😆) Every visit Nia made sure to make every animal feel super special and loved by dedicating time to do each of their favorite things (sitting outside, pets, playing with toys, giving treats, etc.) Nia even went out of her way to change up food to ensure everyone was happy with their meals when the animals started getting picky!😅 She also cleaned up the pets accidents with 0 hesitation! We could not be more thankful to have had Nia as our sitter, we feel blessed to have such an amazing person take care of the most important things in our lives! We look forward to having her again! I already know for a fact that all of our pets are going to miss her!🥹❤️
Caroline came in at the last minute and saved the day for a week-long trip for us. When we met, it was clear she had a ton of experience and she was so patient with our high-energy pitties, who absolutely loved seeing her every day! You cannot miss if you book Caroline, she's passionate, communicative, flexible, and the dogs love her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Hanover is $33 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $51 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 12,789 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
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!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Hanover with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
