“Phenomenal!!! Lisa you are an amazing person and we'll never be able to thank you enough. Our initial booking of 4 drop-ins, that turned into 11, after a family emergency kept us out of state for 3 extra days. The love and care and attention to our dogs and cats, I don't know what would have happened without you. Thanks for taking one big stress off our plate during a crazy emergency. If anyone needs top tier attention for their animals then look no further!!!!”
“We couldn’t recommend Autumn more! She sent us multiple pictures & detailed updates. She went out of her way to watch our pets and took the extra mile to make sure they were well taken care of while we were out of town.”
“Katie is so kind and caring! I have an extremely anxious dog and he always seems content and happy after hanging out with Katie. She communicates very well and sends pics without being asked to❤️”
“Erika is an amazing pet caregiver! Both our pups Koda & Ranger loved spending time with her. They both looked extremely happy on the visit reports, and did quite well throughout our absence. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boys.”
About: I've been around dogs and pets my entire life and understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels through walking, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I prioritize safety, reliability, and communication, treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, a drop-in visit, overnight care, or extra attention while you're away, I'll ensure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, making walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship a regular part of my day. I'm available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and overnight care, and I work hard to maintain your pet's routine so they feel comfortable and happy while you're away. 🐾 Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and secure environment where pets can feel at home while you're away. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll keep a close eye on their well-being and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.
“Abigail was fantastic! It was an initial meet and greet for her to watch our pups and house for a night, and our dogs loved her IMMEDIATELY. She asked all the right questions, and made us feel certain that our pups and house were in great hands.”
About: I absolutely love dogs, grew up with a Shih Tzu Poodle and now my mom has a pure bred Shih Tzu that I steal from time to time (see picture). My boyfriend’s family has an English setter and a blue healer, so I love hunting/high energy dogs as well! I do work in office Mondays, Wednesdays and some Fridays which is about an hour commute. I am usually gone from 7:30-5 ish, so dogs who can be alone for that long work out well. I work fully from home Tuesdays and Thursdays so I can let them out whenever on those days. I live in a 2,200 sq ft town home, and a half fenced in yard. Just me and my boyfriend live here so no kids or other animals will be around. We do allow dogs on the furniture and they can sleep with us if they’d like, we like to snuggle
“Madison did an excellent job with my dog, Simon. Her communication was fantastic and she did a great job sticking to Simon’s schedule. To top it off, I could tell Simon was well taken care of as he was a happy puppy when I got home. I highly reccomend Madison for any pet care needs!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and they have always been a big part of my family. I currently have a sweet Yorkie Poo and a gentle Newfoundland, and I truly believe every dog has their own personality, needs, and little quirks that make them special. I have over 5 years of professional dog grooming experience, which has taught me so much about dog behavior, body language, handling, and how to make dogs feel comfortable and safe. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors in all sizes. I also have experience with dogs who need extra patience and care, including dogs recovering from procedures and blind dogs. Besides walks, daycare, and boarding, I can also offer basic maintenance care, such as brushing, baths, nail trimming and grinding, ear cleaning, and teeth brushing, feet - paw and face trimming. I love going on long walks (usually two one-hour walks a day with my own dogs), and I’d love to give your pup the same attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. My goal is for your dog to feel comfortable, loved, and cared for like they’re part of the family. Our day includes two long walks, usually around 8:30 AM and 5 PM to avoid peak heat. We enjoy walks, park visits, playtime, cuddles and enrichment activities throughout the day. I provide a safe, calm home environment with supervision throughout the day. I’m home most of the time, offer structured walks and playtime, and have crates available if dogs need quiet time or separation. While I don’t have a fenced yard, dogs receive plenty of outdoor exercise through secure walks and nearby park visits. I also have experience handling different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities.
“Alicja was great and was able to come over after a very last minute request! Took great care of my kitties, gave my diabetic cat insulin and even took out the garbage on the way out! Would definitely rebook and recommend to others! :)”
“Allison did a great job taking care of our pup Lucy. We got so many pictures of Lucy having a great time with Allison. It made our vacation so much nicer knowing Lucy was in good hands.”
“My first time on this pet sitting app and with Amy. I highly recommend it and her. I make a mistake in booking dates and she was very understanding and accommodating. Way beyond expectations. She took great care of my dog and I loved getting the thorough updates.”
About: I have had pets my whole life and cared for my own for the past 20 years. I've had all creatures small (hamster) to large (St. Bernard). I currently have 2 dogs, a hamster, and 4 chickens. My family and I have also fostered pups through a local rescue for the past 5 years. We have aided in puppy training to senior care through both personal pets and fostering. I also work at a vet clinic with regular interaction with all sorts of animals. Outside of all the experience, I love animals. I love playing, snuggling, training and treating all animals as if they are my own. I have 3 children who have also inherited my love of animals and love to interact with any pet that comes through our home. ❤️ Both adults in the home work. My hours are part time allowing more availability to spend with your pet. Our resident dogs have free roam of the house for up to 6 hrs unattended, but can be crated if need be. There is typically someone home until 10am each day and home by 3. Potty breaks and cuddles in the morning and then walks, and lots of cuddles in the afternoon and evening. 1 weekday and weekends there is someone home all day to give all the attention. Our resident and foster pups have a basic schedule of eating and morning, afternoon and evening potty breaks in our backyard. Dogs that are trained well on a leash, or new puppies that need training, will get 2-3 walks a day. We have cozy places for naps and all pets are allowed on furniture. Depending on the pet we are happy to let them free roam or crate, whatever the preference is of owner for times we are not home. Between the adults and kids in the home, your pet will get lots of cuddles and playing, treats and mind stimulation.
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats growing up. I always take care of other animals like i treat my own, if not better. Monday and Tuesday I work 12-4 so I can watch your furry friends before or after. My schedule varies but I'm really flexible. I take care of 3 cats and help out with 3 dogs. I help with other people's animals whenever I can. I have 3 cats. I have toys that my cats can play with and an open area for them to run around. I love dogs, I had a family pit growing up and I loved her. I would throw a stick or ball for her to get, we had fun.

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 for Pet Sitting in Hanover on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,817 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
