About: I've taking care of dogs most of my adult life. I have worked in a dog salon as a bather/receptionist. I have experience bathing, drying, nail trims on dogs ranging from chihuahuas to newfoundlands. I lived with my sister helping take care of her two dogs, beagle and husky border collie mix. I'm currently working full time school hours, 930am to 4pm. I have more availability of weekends for dog ditting and anytime during the week for cat sitting. I live in an apartment. I have a seperate space to place any animals that do not get along with my resident cats. I love going for walks for potty breaks since I do not have a yard.
About: I love all animals! I give them my full attention. Play with them, snuggle, pet, take to the park. I’m great at following instructions and going above and beyond expectations. I am very available! I work mornings in a coffee shop so I get off by noon. For longer jobs or ones with more intense care needed, I can take off to be there more full time. I can provide any care you need. I put the needs of pets above my own. Their safety and comfort is top priority , especially when they are away from their family.
About: Have taken care of friends and family’s pets for as long as I can remember. Big animal lover with a big heart and kind spirit. Can’t wait to get to know you and your furry friend! More than happy to take pets out on hikes, walks, brewery hops and movie nights on the couch 🥰. Will give them all the pets and love as if they are my own 💕 I work hybrid in a corporate position going into the office Tuesdays & Thursdays most weeks and working from home Monday, Wednesday & Friday with the weekends off. My apartment is pet friendly with green space all around, near by parks & walking trails and many dog friendly businesses. Would love to explore these with your pup if they are adventurous or have a chill night in for the more relaxed pet 💕 I have my own apartment so will always have complete control of the environment. I keep things very tidy and dog is welcome on the bed and furniture if owner allows. Dog will always be leashed outside of my apartment and treated with the upmost care and love. Will of course get specific consent from the client regarding rules for their specific pooch and am happy to abide by owners request to make them & their animal as comfortable and happy as possible.
“Andy did an awesome job checking in our senior kitty. Instructions were followed, our home was left clean, and Andy took the time to get to know our cat, provide some additional treats, and get some play time in. We really appreciated the communication and the photos!”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life. In the past 3 years we’ve welcomed almost 50 fosters into our home, many with behavioral issues. We currently have two rescues that are our life - and we want to welcome your pup into our home. We are heavily involved in the rescue world. We crate train, work on obedience, have the tools for a smooth transition, and go on walks multiple times a day. I currently work from home and am active on breaks with walks, training, and providing puppy love. We believe in routine and keeping dogs on a schedule. We watch our dogs, crate and rotate if needed, and always walk with a secure harness or harness lead. We allow pups to transition as long as they need as being away from home can be stressful!

About: My love of animals started at a very young age. I grew up on a farm with many dogs, cats, and horses. I look forward to caring for your fur babies as if they were my own. I know it can be difficult to leave them, but know they are in excellent hands. I work as a nurse so I do have some extra time off during the week/weekends. I am mostly available early mornings or the late afternoons/evenings. On my days off, I can be flexible! I am here to accommodate yours and your fur baby’s needs!

About: I’ve been around dogs and all animals my whole life and an array of animals growing up. I’ve gained professional dog training and handling experience over the last year and a half. I’ve managed large groups of dogs and worked more independently on individualized training. I have 3 of my own dogs and 2 cats so I know how important it is for your furry friends to get loving care while you are traveling. I’m hoping to gain a clientele of drop in dog walking clients during the day on the weekdays. My work can be very flexible, so I can drop in to care for you dog during the work day. I will care for your pet by providing drop in services for dogs where we could go for a walk or play in clients yard if Applicable. Care for cats by dropping in checking food and water, scooping litter, and giving your cat some love.

About: Hi! My name is Ashlie, I live in Brooklyn Park, MN. I live right across from the Coon Rapids Dam, so there are miles of walking trails right outside my door and a brand new dog park just a block away. I have dog sat often for a variety of dogs for about ten years now. I have a 12 year old westie named Merlin. We love hiking and going to dog parks and breweries together. He’s a very social dog and used to being around other dogs. If you need a dog sitter, I can take your dog on several walks and to various parks each day, they will come home tired and happy! Your dog is welcome to stay in my home or we can stay in your home if preferred. I can't wait to meet your furry friend!! Thank you for considering me! Currently I have a lot of availability. Please message me with the dates you need a sitter. I am currently available all week and during spring break. Please let me know if you’re comfortable with me bringing my dog to your house. He does well with other pets and mostly keeps to himself.
About: I have been surrounded by dogs almost my entire life. I love the unconditional love they give. I enjoy spending time outside but also can relax inside. Whatever suits your dog best. I’ve dealt with crazy hyper dogs (like my own) and also the dogs that rather relax alone. Each holds a special place in my heart. I work full time currently 9 hour days Monday-Thursday and a 4 hours day Friday mornings! If your dogs are comfortable being home longer during the day I am more than happy to hangout in the evenings! Fridays midday-Sunday evenings is when I am most available to give your pup all the love and attention they deserve! I love to be outside so keeping an eye on any dog while letting them outside will not be an issue. I can leash them if preferred. The dog will be in the comfort on their own house!!
About: I lived with 2 cats for a majority of my life. I have experience watching animals for family and friends, looking to meet new best friends. I am currently working full time and going to school part time to earn my master’s degree. Looking for a fun side job to keep life interesting. I am open to having the animals out in the open or crated when not around. Would love to have a yard to play with animals, but not opposed to going to local parks.
About: I have had pets most of my life. I've experienced the highs and lows of loving another critter. I would love the opportunity to be a positive for your critter, pup, or cat while you are away. I will provide loving care and attention to your loved ones. I am an elementary teacher. I am able to travel to your location before work (7am) and after work (3pm) most week days and available for weekend beginning Friday at 3pm until I have a large 4' and 5' fenced yard with trees on a nice corner lot. Lots of space for running, playing, and lounging in the shade or bathing in in sunlight.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hanover
Shae is a great communicator. Texting instructions was easy, and she was quick to respond. She sent us pics each day of our dogs and guinea pig, which was sweet. One of our dogs got out during our time away—not her doing—and she handled getting him home like a true professional. We definitely would hire her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Hanover is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $24 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 4,649 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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 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.
