“Jordyn did a great job caring for my westie in my home while I was away for a week. She sent updates and pictures. He was well cared for. When I returned home, Jordyn made sure everything was in perfect order! Linus misses her already! We’ll be calling Jordyn again! I highly recommend her!”
“This is the second time Dani has taken care of Vinny. She kept me up-to-date while I was away on how he was doing each day and sent me plenty of pictures and videos. She kept my house spotless and when I came home everything was exactly where I left it. You can definitely trust her in your home and with your fur baby.”
“Travian took great care of our dog and cat while we were away for the weekend. It was clear they both got a lot of attention and he also left the house spotless. Would definitely ask Travian to housesit again!”
About: I have been proud to be a shih tzu owner for 3 years with my family. I have also been pet sitting and walking since I was 12 I walk and feed my dog on a daily basis. I also play with him during my free time and weather permitting, take him to the dog park I currently live in an apartment while occasionally staying at my parents house. I make sure to give them the care they need and show them how much they are loved.
“Alissa was fabulous! I was hesitant leaving my 8 month old puppy with anyone for a week since he is just a little guy, but Alissa made me feel so comfortable from the second I met her and watched her interact with my dog! She stayed at my house for a week, sent me daily updates, and even sent me multiple pictures a day! She was phenomenal and if I could give her more than 5 stars I would! She even gave me tips on what worked and what didn’t since my dog is a picky eater! I definitely recommend and will be using her again!! I not only trust her with my little love, but I trust her in my home!”
About: I have been taking care of my 2 cats for 8 years. And I take care of several dogs when my friends are out of town for about 6 months I can play with your pets during pet sitting, to prevent them feel too bored. Also check their metal and physical health. Make sure they are eating and drinking enough water I have plenty of pet toys to play with them. They have multiple cat trees and . I played fuzzy balls with the everyday almost. Sometimes bring them outside in a cat bag
“Shanette provided regular updates on Celia and took care of her like she was her own! She was also very flexible with our schedule! Definitely will be booking Shanette in the future again. 10/10!”
“Cheryl was great! She took care of all 5 of our pets (2 dogs, 2 cats and a turtle) as well as our house. She sent photos of the animals and was really engaged with our dogs, who are not easy. Cheryl was responsive, left the house in perfect shape and picked up any waste in the backyard. Definitely recommend her and we’ll use her again.”
“First of all Anthony deserves 10 stars for his time with us. Someone mentioned dog whisperer, I second that recommendation. My dogs fell in love with Anthony from the start. If you’re hesitant to book on here,we highly recommend booking with Anthony. I will be using his services again. I came home to two happy dogs. He is prompt, confident in himself with caring for your pets and obviously loves what he does!!!! Contact Anthony if you want a peace of mind while you are away!! Thanks Anthony”

“Nicole did such an amazing job taking care of Ruby, our young puppy, and home while we were out of town. While it was tough for us to leave her for the first time, we felt very comfortable having her in Nicole's care. She sent us frequent updates and pics and Ruby had a blast playing and hanging with her. Would highly recommend Nicole for any of your pet care needs!”

About: I’ve walked and cared for dogs while working at a senior living community, where I often took residents’ dogs on walks and played with them during the day. As much as I help dogs, they help me too, spending time with them has been a huge blessing for my mental health. Pets fit into my weekly schedule on Fridays and Saturdays, which are my days off. I like to spend that time doing things that bring me joy and peace caring for dogs is one of them! It’s a great way for me to unwind while doing something meaningful. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm and loving environment that keeps your pet comfortable and safe. I follow all instructions closely, make sure they have food, water, potty breaks, and plenty of playtime and affection. I respect your space, keep things clean, and aim to make your pet feel like I’m a familiar friend while you’re away. I may be newer to this app, but I take this responsibility seriously and always show up with care and patience.

Allie took very good care of our cat while we were away. We got regular updates and could tell when we got home that he was happy and healthy. As well as that she took great care of the house keeping it clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend Allie to look after your pets and will book her ahain in the future, Thank You Allie
Grace watched our senior pup for a week. He is very boring to watch - he just likes to sleep and hang out (no walks or play - too old for that nonsense anymore lol) Jett is very particular who he likes and he was lying next to Grace by the end of the week! WOW! We are so happy with Grace - always kept us updated on our little guy and was reliable and took care of Jett perfectly! Highly recommend, Grace to watch your babies!
Natalie took great care of our dog while we were away! Our dog is very shy and she was so good with him. She sent updates often that made me feel at ease. She left our house very clean and just as we left it. I can tell he really enjoyed spending time with Natalie. We will definitely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hanover is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $58 per night. 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 18,384 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 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.

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.
