Megan was an amazing caretaker of my cat. She was very attentive to detail and her visits provided the comfort my senior cat was longing for while I was away for six nights. I’m looking forward to provide her services whenever I’ll be out of town.

This was my first time using Rover and she made it such a wonderful experience. My dog can be difficult, and she handled her with no problems. I will be using her again.

Christopher took excellent care of our 4 month old puppy for a 30 minute drop-in each day this week! Our pup has so much energy and is still learning how to be a dog, but Chris did awesome managing him! We got updated pictures of them on long walks each day while my partner and I are at work. Our apartment was kept in great condition, he followed our instructions perfectly. We will definitely be using him again.

Claudia was great! She is very caring and loving. This was our first time leaving our cat Linda with someone else but it seemed like she was fine with Claudia. Our cat is very shy and not friendly with strangers. We would definitely book her again!

Wonderful walks with detailed updates. I think our dogs would be happy if we went on another trip as long as they get to stay with grandma and have these lovely walks! Caring and kind. Will absolutely book again. It’s a relief to have Laurie and James available for our pups.

We had a great experience with Yeji! She took wonderful care of our cats and followed all of our instructions perfectly, including their different feeding routines. She was reliable, communicative, and made it easy for us to enjoy our trip without worrying about the cats. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. We would absolutely book with her again!

Melinda was the absolute best! She was prompt, communicative, and loved on our best buddy as if he was her own. She went above and beyond to make sure he felt cared for, and what more can you ask for when it comes to your fur baby! She sent the best pics and even a video of our big boy *attempting* to do a spin move! 🤣🥲 safe to say Oakley already can’t wait for her to come back!

About: I’ve been a lifelong pet owner and have always had a genuine love for animals. I’ve cared for my mother’s and sister’s dogs, as well as my neighbor’s cat, giving me experience with different personalities and care routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important they are to their families. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior pet, or a shy cat, I’m committed to providing patient, reliable, and loving care. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide attentive care and accommodate your pet’s routine. I do train mixed martial arts in the evenings, but I have plenty of availability throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your best friend. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also take pride in keeping their environment clean, respecting your home, and providing regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for your pet in the place they know best.

About: I've been a pet caretaker for over 15 years, and have experience in all ages of dog and cat, from the very young to the very old, from fostering since I was young. I show dogs in AKC conformation myself, and can handle all types of stubborn! I'm a terrier owner. I do have a full time job, but between my partner and I there is always someone home to spend time with a pup! From the time I get home to the time I leave, my priority is my, and subsequently your, dog 100%! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a play area. I live close to Patapsco and love to take my dog on hikes and to pet friendly businesses, if it's something you would like me to do with yours as well! In your home, your rule is law, so whatever you would like me to do, I am comfortable following! I'm open to any feeding routines, walking & play routines, etc!

About: While you are away, let your dogs enjoy a pupcation! My wife and I have been caring and training dogs for 10+ years. We have a fenced yard with a lake just beyond that. We currently have 2 friendly dogs who love to play. We can guarantee your dog will have an awesome time! We will train your dog as well if you would like. Dogs will get walked every day and plenty of play time. In this house hold, dogs are part of the family! Able to adapt and provide whatever care you require for your dog. I work 6am - 2pm and my wife works at a hospital over night. So there is always someone home to look after the dogs. If you want, we can take the dog out to the lake. We take ours out there all the time, it is shallow. But if you don't want them to, they don't need to. Our yard is fully fenced and cut off from the pond. Both my wife and I work, but she works night and I work days. So at all times we have someone home watching the pups. We treat your dog just like they were our own. We give them all the love, attention and care that they need. Your dog will gets plenty of play time, cuddles and care.

About: Hi, I'm Ryan. I live in a house in Elkridge, MD with a large fenced backyard. I run a dog rescue and have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs. I've had dogs from 3lbs to 150lbs. I currently have a 8ish year old mix that is very used to other dogs coming and going. He is a great playmate or nap buddy for other dogs. I have experience with giving medication to dogs and cats ranging from pills, eye cream, ear drops, liquid in the mouth, insulin shots and other injections. I am comfortable and experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I often work from home and am able to be with the dogs most of the day. Most days I am available to go on walks with your pup! I love all dogs and can't wait to meet yours! I require all dogs coming into my yard/home be on flea/tick preventative, up to date on rabies, distemper, bordetella and canine influenza. I work from home so your pet will rarely be alone. I am able to provide extra potty breaks or give extra attention if needed. I have a large grassy backyard with a 4 foot fence and one dog that is always down for a play buddy but will also happily nap on the couch. I have extra crates if ever needed.

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!🥹❤️

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Hanover

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Hanover on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 12,950 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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.

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
  • 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.

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.
