“We have used Marleigh C. Twice now and I have absolutely loved her each time. She is so caring towards our animals and loves to keep us in the loop with them the whole time she’s there. I’d refer her to anyone looking for a dog care/sitter.”
About: I’ve loved every animal I’ve come in contact with since I was a little girl. I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, a few birds, small caged animals and aquariums for 35+ years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from Chihuahua's to Rottweiler’s, the high energy of Boxer’s and the laziness and cuddles from my very own Shih-Tzus. I know how I want my animals to be cared for and I can guarantee yours will be loved as my own when in my care. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom. My days and home are open to care for your pets when you are away at work or on vacation. Your dogs vacation will here will be as enjoyable as the one you are on. In the event I have to leave the home, your dog will only be left for a maximum of 2 hours. I have a fully fenced yard, a gated front porch, a two point entry coming in from garage. Dogs will have big comfy couches, plush dog beds, fresh blankets, clean bowls and endless love and treats (if allowed) If you prefer a crate for overnights or down time, one can be provided for you. If medication is needed I am a master at administration, just ask my dogs :)
“Vanessa was great with our two cats. She sent daily updates and pictures. Made sure she saw both cats and gave them pets and treats. She came during the agreed upon times. Vanessa contacted us when there was an issue with our door and was kind enough to bring in our trash cans for us. Definitely will contact her for our next trip!”
About: I’ve been the owner of various pets including bunnies, dogs, birds, cats and more for 20 years and have volunteered for about 8 years at a humane society walking, socializing, and caring for dogs and cats of numerous breeds, sizes, and ages. As a dog mom I have found great areas for walking nearby & have a dog park area close by that is securely gated and spacious (as well as empty quite often) We’d love to have your special friend with us for a few days! I work from home & have the ability to take breaks as needed! I have a routine set with my own dog & would be able to adjust to the needs of your pet. I have a backyard with a lead & a walking path nearby. As a seasoned pet sitter I am comfortable caring for your pets in your home should they feel more secure in a known environment!
About: With two years of experience caring for dogs and other animals, including volunteer work at a local dog shelter, I offer reliable and compassionate pet care services. As a pet owner myself (two cats, three dogs, fish), I understand the importance of a safe and nurturing environment. I am also comfortable caring for fish, reptiles, and plants, and can provide light housekeeping. Currently, I am pursuing a degree in veterinary medicine, further enhancing my knowledge and skills in animal care. i am open availability and update my calendar regularly! i can do drop ins multiple times a day, and walks multiple times a day ! i have 3 friendly dogs in my home and 3 cats, right now since i do not live alone it isn’t in my range to keep animals in my home
About: I have two dogs of my own and LOVE high-energy pups just as much as the laid-back, lazy ones! Your fur babies will get all the attention, playtime, exercise, and love they deserve. I want every pup to feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away! 🫶 I’m available for early morning walks and evening walks after 4 PM on most weekdays. I can also fit in a weekend day when needed! I’d love to work with your schedule and make time for your pup! I love taking my boys on walks, and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! Whether it’s getting outside for some fresh air, going on a fun walk or run, or stopping by for a drop-in visit to give them some extra love, attention, and care, I’m excited to make sure your pups feel happy, safe, and loved!
“Samantha did a great job checking in on our cat, Louie. On a previous vacation, he came to a cat with a UTI because the person we hired (not through Rover.com) did not clean his box properly. Samantha kept us up to date on how Louie was doing and kept his boxes clean. We came home from vacation to a happy and healthy cat. I will definitely use Samantha again!”
“I was able to relax and spend time with my parents, knowing Lexi was in good hands. She tried to get a second dinner from me, but I didn't fall for it because Ashlyn communicated so well. ? Thank you, Ashlyn, for taking such good care of my sweet girl.”
“Justice was absolutely amazing! She did a meet & greet before dogsitting in our home for our 3 dogs while we were away for the weekend. Left great notes & put up pictures of our dogs, and really took them time to make them all comfortable. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Sydnie is a life saver! I asked for her help at last minute ages she immediately was happy to take care of my senior dog, she is trusted and a person I will definitely consider for the future”
About: I have been a dog lover my entire life. I am known as the dog whisperer. It' is rumored amongst pets of the existence of a dog petter who has the most loving energy. Many dogs only believe it to be legend. It is a real live person. It is me the dog whisperer. I have experience walking, administering meds through mouth and providing exercise and treats. There is no pet to big or small. I love them all. I have a rather flexible schedule due to working online. Only times I am not available when traveling for business as host for a travel group. I care for pets to the instructions of the pet owner. I know most dogs that are properly cared for require a lot of attention and prefer to be in the company of someone. I enjoy the company and love to give quality time to dogs. Such as playing fetch tug a war or long walks.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hanover is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $16 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 796 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
