“Victoria was incredible. She kept us so well informed on how our three dogs were doing while she was caring for them. Very detail-oriented and very hands on with our kids. Would recommend her to anyone.”
About: My husband and I treat pets like family, caring for all ages from energetic pups to seniors. To give your dog our 100% full attention, we only host one family's pets at a time. I’m happy to keep up your pup's routine and basic obedience. Whether your pet needs active play, gentle senior care, or a quiet space to relax, we’ll make sure they feel right at home! I work from home full-time, so your pup will have constant company and attention throughout the day. They won’t be left alone, and I’m always nearby for belly rubs, regular potty breaks and walks. Every dog thrives on routine, so I’m very flexible and happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible. They’ll get all the care and cuddles they like. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every furry guest like my own, keeping a clean, pet-friendly home where they can relax safely and play comfortably. I take instructions very seriously, whether it’s sticking to a specific feeding schedule, medications, or house rules.
“Jennie is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond in every way and treated my dog, Max, like he was her own. From the very first walk, I could tell how much she genuinely cared about him. She sent me updates, gave Max lots of love and attention, and made sure he was happy and comfortable the whole time. Max came back from his walks full of tail wags and smiles! It was such a relief knowing he was in such great hands. I couldn’t recommend Jennie more—she’s the best!”
“Jeanette did and absolutely great job looking after our 17 year old Pomeranian while we are on a cruise. Would recommend Jeanette to all our family and friends. Will definitely use her services again without thinking twice. She was great.”
“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.”
“Stephanie was a fantastic sitter for our two cats! We loved the photos and detailed updates during her visits, and know the cats were well taken care of. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Melissa Z. Is an awesome drop in sitter. She has been great with our pets, Mesha (2 yr old cat), Emma (16 yr old cardigan Welsh corgi who passed away recently), Hope (13.5 yr old standard poodle), and Beau (2 yr old golden retriever). We just relocated and we will miss Melissa greatly! ”
“Antoinette provided drop in visit for our elderly (13 yrs) dog and was really great! She was a great communicator (kept us up to date and shared pics) and we got back to a happy and content dog. We hope we can have her sit for us again in the future!”
“Whitney was very communicative and prompt. She responded with very short notice to us in a “we need to leave town for a funeral and have nobody to care for our cat and dog” situation. She met with us before leaving to get instructions and meet our pets, and totally removed this as a stressor during our time of need. Very grateful, and highly recommend her!”
“Christina took great care of our lil guy while we were away. She was very timely, sent wonderful pictures, and followed all care/feeding steps to the letter. Without question we’d rebook and recommend.”
“Anneli was WONDERFUL! I couldn't ask for a better person to drop in on my fur babies! She was very attentive, proactive, and sensitive to the needs of my cats. I recommend her highly - your cats will be in good hands!”
“Samantha took great care of our animals, she was prompt and communicated all concerns immediately. We were able to have a great vacation knowing our babies were well cared for!”
About: I've had pets all my life and I'm starting to care for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different breeds and sizes. I currently work full time, I work 1 day remote at home and 4 days in the office. I will make plenty of time to be there for your fur baby though. I am very active, I go running, take long walks as well as hiking with my pup. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves to have company. Any special needs, diets or behaviors I will need to know in order keep your fur baby happy and comfortable.
“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: 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.

I could not have picked anyone better to watch our girl. Victoria has been a pleasure from the get-go. Our meet and greet was wonderful, and she really took care of Lemon! She is responsive, professional, and very kind! She is so sweet and really is great! I will definitely be working with her in the future! :)
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
Nicole was absolutely fabulous with our cat, Penny! She was prompt, dependable, and clearly takes great pride in her work. Everything was left clean and tidy, and her consistent communication gave us such peace of mind while we were away. One of our favorite parts was receiving the photos and videos of Penny—they made our whole family so happy to see her looking comfortable, happy, and so well cared for. It was clear that Nicole genuinely cared about Penny and went above and beyond to make sure she was in great hands. We would absolutely recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and hardworking pet sitter. We’re so grateful for her! 😻🐾
Kelly was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter for Luna and Oliver. She was very proactive in her communication and provided detailed updates on how the two were doing, which gave us peace of mind during our travels given Luna’s regular health issues. The cats were clearly very comfortable with Kelly and we greatly appreciated the care and attention she gave to them to ensure they were happy and well-taken care of. She even went the extra mile to help us out during an unexpected incident, which was a huge lifesaver for us. We highly recommend Kelly if you are looking for a sitter who truly cares about your pets and wants to give them the best experience when you’re away!
Madison got along very well with our two cats when we were out for the weekend! They followed all of our instructions to the letter and did extra work to make sure our cats were happy and our home was just the way we left it. She was attentive to the specific emotional needs of each cat. I would highly recommend them for pet sitting.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hanover is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 October 2026, there are 13,398 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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hanover. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 .
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.
