About: I've been caring for animals for over 11 years. I got my first family dog when I was 7 and my second dog at 13, giving me experience with dogs of different ages and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've looked after neighbors' dogs, cared for a friend's dog for over a week while they were on vacation, and have experience feeding, walking, playing with, and giving plenty of attention and love to pets. I've also had a cat since I was young and have cared for my neighbor's cats, so I'm comfortable with both dogs and cats. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I'm home and very available throughout the summer, so your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I work part-time only 2–3 days a week for a few hours at a time, which gives me a very flexible schedule for boarding, drop-in visits, walks, and daycare. I'm available on both weekdays and weekends and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight care. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large yard for supervised play and two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love meeting new friends! I have over 11 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats and will follow your pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions to help them feel safe, happy, and at home. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Josephine did a wonderful job. She took care of our cat Charlie for two weeks and sent daily great updates and pictures. She also took care of our two fish tanks, reliably checked when the feeder blocks ran out earlier than expected and fed the fish with additional flakes as needed. She responded very timely to all texts. When we got home everything was perfect. Will definitely want to hire her again for our next vacation.”
“Megan was terrific! She's totally dependable and went above and beyond, even doing things for us we hadn't thought of. She took good care of our cat, and we couldn't be happier with her care! We will book her again. Thank you Megan.”
“Sarah was great and my kitty was very well looked after! She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Would definitely book her again. I know my cat appreciated the company 😊”
“Jordan from Rover was awesome!! The dogs liked her right away and had fun playing with her even when the outside weather was lousy. Her messages to us were great and we knew that everything was ok with our dogs. Will definitely call her again when we go out of town!”
About: I grew up on a small hobby farm in Vermont and have always had animals around. In high school and college, I volunteered at High Horses Therapeutic Riding Program in Sharon, Vermont and developed a love for horses. Whether it be your cat or your cow, I am excited to meet and care for your animals and home! I am currently job searching as I just finished my master's with Middlebury College, so I have plenty of availability for the summer and possibly beyond. I am comfortable caring for many different kinds of animals and I will closely follow instructions on how you wish your pet to be cared for
“Rihanna was wonderful with my anxious girl, Lua. She was patient and took time to let Lua get comfortable with her. I was so nervous to leave Lua, but Rihanna did such a great job with the Rover card updates, I was at ease while away. Highly recommend her, and will definitely be using her services again.”
About: I have volunteered at animal shelters in WA and worked alongside animal behavioralists to read canine and feline body language to gauge interests, anxiety, and pain levels. I love being able to help my client’s animals reach relaxation without being over stimulated. I’m versed in enrichment activities that alleviate stress and help the animals reconnect with their playful, trusting side! I love to make animals feel like they have a new trusted friend while their pet parents are away and to provide care that makes their owners feel like they're with family. (Disclaimer: I have a full time job working graveyard. Please keep this in consideration if you're looking to book in-home overnight pet-sitting. Thank you! Feel free to message me questions.) I live near Hanover and have reliable transportation. I have no conflicting agenda items or holidays in the near future. I do gig work to help support my best friend going to Dartmouth and have a flexible, open schedule. I try my best to plan outings with pets when the weather is best for their paws and especially if the dog is a breed prone to heat or breathing issues. I have had animals all my life of various breeds, ages, temperament, and unique needs. I have knowledge and experience through my animal shelter work on what silent pain signals or distress can look like in dogs and cats. I've administered medications before but would prefer to let the animal get to know me before providing injections. My preference is to have a meet and greet with your pet(s) ahead of the scheduled outing so they may acclimate to me and to have a brief in-person discussion to go over the scope of the service you wish to see.
“Omri was excellent, extremely responsive and offered fantastic care for our girls, Izzy and Asher! 10/10 recommend! will be using his services in the future! Thank you, Omri!”
“Rainie is such an amazing sister! She’s incredibly attentive to my fur baby’s needs. Plus, she’s a wonderful person who always knows what I need and offers any help she can while I’m away from my babies. I would definitely recommend her to take care of your fur baby—I’d give her a perfect 100/10! 🩷😁😁”
About: My experience comes from caring for my own dogs and dog sitting big dogs for friends who don't want their pups to stay in their comfy familiar home while they are away. I've owned labs, huskies, shepherds and collies. Most recently I had two collies that have travelled with me around the world. Sadly both have passed recently So I'm without a dog of my own but love having them around. I am happy to meet new dogs of all ages and breeds. I love large dogs too but my place may be too small for some but I'm happy to meet up and see what works. I work from home a lot and am very flexible to drop in or take your pup(s) for a walk. I run most days and can have pups join if that's something they like. I am very cautious about dog handling and will follow your instructions. I will only care for dogs in my home after I've taken care of them at your home and I am familiar enough with the dog so that I am sure it will be ok in a new space and that I can accommodate its needs.
“Julia is fantastic! She took great care of my 22 year old cat while we were away… she checked in regularly, was always on time and would send detailed notes about her visits. I highly recommend Julia and will absolutely be booking her again for our next trip.”
About: Been around dogs my whole life! Have a dog at home, he is 5. Trained during COVID pandemic from 8 weeks old until now. Get along well with all dogs! Main availability would be weekday afternoons-nights! Weekends can help with advanced notice! I work 8-5 typically but my schedule often varies on a weekly basis. I cook food for my dog, he is spoiled. I like to be active myself so going outside to play is always my go to. Love the parks too!
“Armani is great! She has good energy, is attentive, and very considerate. I recommend you giving her a chance as we were grateful for her assist with our puppy! We only stopped working with her due to her schedule needs, but we'd happily consider her again!”
“Grace is so sweet to our old girl Gilly. She takes her for walks at Gilly’s pace, feeds her, give her treats, and lots of pets! She is extremely communicative and was so kindly adaptable to our many last minute schedule changes. Will happily book again & would recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hanover on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 228 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.

- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
