Another wonderful trip away and our girls were well taken of by Cathy! Our oldest cat recently started an oral medication and she was glad to administer it.

Randi went above and beyond to make sure our animals were taken care of. She even voluntarily took home a chick that could not walk and fixed it's leg so it can get around on its own now. She also watered our plants and brought in mail while we were gone. She seems to know a lot about dogs and is a wealth of info on chickens, as well. Some of my chickens were not doing so well and thanks to her advice, they are looking healthier. I'd highly recommend her.

About: I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors who need a gentler pace. I’m comfortable with basic training, medication routines, and keeping pups on a consistent schedule. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every dog like my own. I pay attention to each dog’s personality and make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood—plus I always share photo updates so you can relax while you’re away. I just recently graduated from university, so my weekdays and weekends are mostly free! I am available to take care of your pets from Monday-Saturday. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home where they feel safest and most relaxed! Whether I’m staying overnight or stopping by for a few hours, I stick to your dog’s routine, keep their space clean and secure, and make sure they get plenty of attention and supervision. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and always focused on creating a calm, safe environment for your pet.

Sierra takes great care of our 2 puppies and adult dog during the day while we are at work! She makes sure they have everything they need and follows every detail of your instructions big or small. We get lots of photos after each visit and know our babies are always in good hands! You can tell she really cares for your pets - we couldn’t ask for anything more!

About: I have owned dogs all my life. At one point I owned 4! I am moving home from college and just got a job in Richmond. I am very flexible and will be in town to help out whenever needed! I am an elementary school teacher in Hanover County during the school year! I am fully open during the summer to care for your pets during the day. I treat them like my own! I love to hang out with pets, and I love a list. If there is a specific set of things to do, I will follow it exactly and make sure the pet gets what they need.

About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been caring for dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets gave me a natural love for animals, and over the years I’ve helped care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, administering medications, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give every animal. I treat every pet like family and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, or simply keeping them company in their home. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I wait to begin my career as an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant in late August. Because of this, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My flexible availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and last-minute scheduling needs whenever possible. I love staying active, so spending time outdoors walking and caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy during this transition period before starting work. Providing a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for pets is my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I always strive to create a calm, dependable, and comfortable experience for both pets and owners. I live in a pet-friendly environment with plenty of safe areas for walks and outdoor time, and I carefully follow each owner’s home instructions regarding routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special needs. I’m attentive, responsible, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾

Shannon did a fantastic job checking in on our two cats while we were out of town. The kitties are still fat and sassy, and actually came out to say hello for their check in photos! Highly recommended.

About: I have experience with many sizes, ages, temperaments, and breeds of dogs.

Our line up is Mochi - Great Pyrenees, Pawnee - Pitsky, and Remy - Border Collie mix. We also have chickens and cats on the property. I have a flexible schedule that allows for pet care in my weekly routine. I also have flexibility that can match unpredictable changes in your day or schedule. I can work with each pet to meet their visit needs to allow their day to be as enjoyable as possible while you are away.

Once again, Steven stepped up when the unexpected happened! I failed to provide the alarm access - and he had to deal with that ALARM sounding and the impact on the kitties. He is always calm and handles all issues with professionalism. Thanks (again!), Steven!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats of all temperaments and types for my entire life. Pet-care is something I take seriously and seriously enjoy! We don’t deserve our animals, so they deserve the best! I’m working part-time from 4am-12pm so my daily schedule is pretty open! I’m comfortable house-sitting if needed or just checking in and caring for your pets, whatever they need! I know how to handle and care for dogs and cats and i’m very open to your requirements or instructions!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Hanover

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 1,258 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hanover. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hanover. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.

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.
