“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.”
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
“Olivia took great care of our pup, great communication and was patient with me as our door code didn’t initially work when she arrived…so waited several minutes until I was able to get it figured out. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her again and hopefully she’ll be willing after the door code issue today!”
About: I love both cats and dogs, and have grown up with both. I have been a pet sitter for many different sizes and breeds of dogs and cats. I have done pet sitting for multiple family members and friends during my college years and beyond. I have a fairly flexible schedule; I am fully available on Monday, I am available most mornings, and I am also available at various times mid-day throughout the week. I am gentle with animals and I am aware of their body language. I am careful with opening/closing doors or gates to make sure animals do not get out or get into a space that they're not supposed to be in. I am also careful to make sure that food is secured properly or anything that a pet might get into. I am detail oriented and will follow instructions carefully from the owner regarding their pet/s.
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.
“Natalie always does a wonderful job! This time Natalie took care of our cat Jean and our Tortoise Mr Kronk for a week. Jean can be pretty finicky but she thought Natalie was the greatest!”
About: I have experience with a range of dogs, from small to large, and have taken care of many of my neighbors’ pets. I currently have a rescue 7 month old puppy, my parents have a papillon and used to have a German Shepherd so I’ve taken care of each. I understand that each dog has different needs and different personalities! I can adapt to whatever you and your furry friend needs. I have a small bird and feel comfortable taking care of birds as well. I work full-time in healthcare but have a passion for providing quality care for animals as well! On my days off (M/T/W and select Sat/Sundays) I am fully available without work or distractions, which just means all the attention is given to your furry loved one! I’m available all Monday, Tuesday, Wednesdays per month along with three Sat/Sundays per month. I work Thursday/Friday and one Sat/Sun per month so I can’t do those. I live in a large 3,200 square foot suburban house and your dog is free to roam inside the home with my puppy. This offers a large advantage for your dog in comparison to other sitters who have an apartment with little indoor and outdoor space. Your dog/s and mine are always under supervision when they are here. Another advantage is social interaction from my puppy and your dog together. I have a front yard and back yard, unfenced. I will never let any dog outside without a leash. I have a huge trail system within short walking distance from my house (medicine lake regional trails and others) which spans multiple miles and is yet another perk of booking with me! I’m an avid walker/hiker and frequently take dogs out for walks but place priority on your needs and requests as each dog has different requirements. I am very comfortable with administering medications. I live in a smoke free, and kid free home. I truly love providing the best quality care to your furry friends, and treat them as my own. I pride myself on strong communication/updates as well. I am happy to schedule meet and greets to ensure we are a perfect fit.
“Rilynn has been great taking care of my pup, playing with her and taking her out for a short walk/outside play time and giving her kibble/water. Very responsive & reliable dog sitter.”
About: I grew up on a farm caring for all variety of animals. I am a dog mom of 2 pit mixes, and I adore puppies!! I love long walks on trails and neighborhoods, giving kisses while watching the sunset, and all about fine-dining treats! I work from home so I have the flexibility to care for your pets! I am active as well as love being a couch potato. I can take long or short walks (I need my steps!!) I am consistent and flexible! I have cared for many pets throughout my life, I am alert to any issues, and I am strong for those heavy pullers on a leash
About: Hello, Pet Parents. My name is Cory, and I'm going to tell you a bit about myself! I've always been involved with animals in my life and have had many pets! I've had 3 dogs, mice, hamsters, and even a frog! Not only have I had pets, but I've had past experiences with pets and pet owners, and here are some as follows! ————————————————————— Experience: Worked for an adoption center where I took care of dogs and cats. Dog walking Pet sitting Many animal based classes Currently working at a board and train facility Training/Fostering a soon to be police dog that will be stationed at a middle school and helping with tracking cases ————————————————————— If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask! I'm currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your fuzzy little friends whenever needed! I'll always talk to you about openings in my schedule that fit with yours! I have a couple pets, a Sheprador which is a German Shepherd and Labrador mix named George, and a hamster named Baba. I feed my dog George twice a day making sure to let him outside right after, I regularly brush him because he just doesn't stop shedding, I wash him every other month so he doesn't get stinky, give him all of his medication for his allergies, and just giving him constant attention such as walks! Baba gets fed once a day with a healthy balance of veggies, fruits, seeds, and original food. I clean his cage every 1 to 2 weeks depending how it looks and/or if it stinks, and finally I regularly take him out of his cage to pet him and let him run around in his ball! George and Baba get along haha! Plus a new member being Chunk a little lab puppy!
About: Hi! I’m Alex, and we’re a family of five with a lifelong love for animals! Animals have always been a big part of our family. We recently said goodbye to our two beloved dogs, who were both 13 years old. They grew up alongside our children and were truly part of our family. While we’re not quite ready to welcome another dog of our own, we would love the opportunity to share that same love and care with another family’s furry companion. We understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, loving environment where your dog feels right at home while you’re away. We have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for supervised playtime, exercise, and fresh air. Our home is family-oriented, and your pup will receive plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. We also have a resident indoor cat, so it’s important that visiting dogs are comfortable and respectful around cats. Having cared for our own dogs throughout their senior years, we understand that every animal has different needs, personalities, and routines. Whether your dog loves playing outside, relaxing on the couch, or simply being close to people, we want them to feel happy, safe, and loved. We know leaving your pet with someone new can be difficult, so we’re happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. We look forward to meeting you and hopefully becoming a trusted second home for your furry family member! 🐾
About: Hi there, I am a certified veterinary technician, I graduated from Minnesota School of Business. I would love to help out taking care of your pet! I love animals- of course. I've grown up with dogs as well as rodents and I currently have a cat, 2 dogs, and three chickens. I have been a CVT for 7 years, I have volunteered at the humane society as well as feline rescue. I also have plenty experience pet sitting, and am comfortable giving meds. I can pet sit in your home, or I can stop in up to twice daily. I am a full time CVT so I do have a full work day 5 days a week. I have every other weekend off. I am able to provide care before and after work, with more flexibility on my weekends. I am very conscious of locking doors and gates. I always pay attention to medication label directions, as well as keeping potentially dangerous items out of reach (I have a counter surfing lab).
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I’ve looked after dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, helping with walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll do everything I can to make sure both you and your furry friend feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide dependable care for your pet. My availability varies by the week, but I’m happy to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting whenever my schedule allows. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine, respect your home, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll provide updates and photos during each visit so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“I just love April and how she takes care of my cat! I’m so glad I found her. She has cats also so she always tries different fun things with my cat. I like that. And if I didn’t want April all to myself I would tell everyone to hire her for their pets…! She is great!”

Pet 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 Pet 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 4,810 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hanover. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
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.
