“This was our first time using someone other than family to stay in our house to care for Rosie, our spoiled bernese mountain dog. At our meet and greet we along with Rosie immediately felt comfortable with Rihana and knew she was a perfect match. While we were away Rihana kept us well informed and sent us numerous photos of their many walks on nearby trails along with a tired Rosie crashed on our bed. They were having a great time together. When we returned home we found the house spotless, sheets washed and bed made back up. Can't say enough wonderful things about Rihana. She was amazing!!!”
“Rebekah was really great - took care of our house, the dog (who totally loves her) as well as the chickens. She was responsive and communicative, but also easy going and flexible. Highly recommend!!”
“This is my first experience having a sitter through Rover. Olivia was great! She came by my house a few days before she was scheduled to house sit giving me a chance for her to meet my animals and run through their routines. On the day of my planned trip, We reviewed everything again She kept in touch with me throughout my time away. Everything went well. I would definitely Recommend her.”
“Reilley was wonderful to work with. Very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She took great care of my two large dogs and my home. I would hire her again and recommend her to others.”
About: I am an experienced pet sitter and animal lover! I grew up with a childhood dog whom I loved very much. When she passed, I began dog sitting often because I adore dogs so much I am a current Dartmouth senior with a very flexible day-to-day schedule. I have an active lifestyle and would love to add your dog into it! I live right next to several trail systems which I regularly use. I also live next to an extremely large, unfenced green space + a small front yard.
“We highly recommend Nicole. We had the absolute best experience with her and would 100% book her again. She has SO much dog knowledge and experience, and she knew just what to do to care for our 17.5 year-old geriatric Miniature Dachshund. Our dog was completely comfortable and happy with her, and she brought out the absolute best in our dog with both a stroller and regular walk. I can't rave enough about how happy we were with Nicole.”
“Payton was wonderful. She stayed with our doggo, Truffle, while we were on vacation. She was extremely communicative, friendly, and left our house very clean. We would definitely have her watch Truffle again.”
“Armani is such a wonderful dog sitter! She is so thoughtful and kind in caring for our dog, Edna. We can tell she and Edna have developed a close both after several repeat sittings! We are so grateful that our dog is so well taken care of and loved while we are away. We loved the daily video and photo updates, and we know Edna loved the special attention and extra long walks! We cannot thank Armani enough for her time with and care for Edna. Armani is also such a considerate houseguest, even offering to get our mail and water our plants while we were away. We so appreciate her time and help while we were away. I highly recommend Armani as an outstanding house and dog sitter!”
“Moira is an absolute gem! Leaving our dog is never easy, but Moira’s fantastic communication and calm, easy-going demeanor put us completely at ease. We loved getting our daily updates and knowing our pet was in such capable and caring hands. We have already rebooked with her for our vacation in November! Thank you Moira!”
“James is an awesome dog and house sitter! He took the dogs on great walks and sent us some adorable pictures while we were away. We came home to two happy, calm pups and a clean, orderly house. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up around all different kinds of dogs since I was a baby! I love my furry friends more than anything and am an excellent caretaker. I have lots of experience in dog sitting & babysitting and am super reliable! I’m super flexible, so please reach out to take care of kittens, puppies, bunnies, or anything else of that matter :) I am currently working part-time during the week, but am nonetheless still super available for weeknight sitting/walking/caretaking. My schedule is very flexible and I’d be happy to find a suitable time! I have two trained senior golden doodles at home with me, Rafa and Deuce :). We go on walks about four times a day and love to play! I’d love to care for an additional furry friend any time! As for taking care of animals at a client’s home, I will follow your instructions exactly :)

Emma spent three days with my 11yo dog Ginger at my house and Ginger was very well taken care of. She seemed very happy and content when I got home. Emma has a very friendly loving personality I would highly recommend her to anyone. I will definitely use her services again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hanover on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 136 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hanover. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Hanover walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Hanover maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
