“Caleb was wonderful! He took great care of our dog Sully. He even stopped by the day before to get to know him. Caleb was incredibly attentive, caring, and responsible. Sully was so happy that he did zoomies! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their furry friends. We are looking forward to hiring Caleb again.”
“Paul was wonderful with our pups - he was amazing at communicating with us every day just as we asked and sent plenty of pictures and videos. We felt very comfortable leaving our furry loved ones with him. He did an amazing job and we would absolutely hire him again.”
About: What sets us apart is our dynamic as a dedicated sitters duo. With two pairs of hands, your pet gets double the attention, playtime, and walks. Because we don't have our own pets yet, your furry family member receives 100% of our focus and undivided love. We treat your home and pets with the ultimate care, ensuring a safe, personalized, and incredibly fun stay every single time. I currently work in a pet friendly office or have the flexibility to work from home if needed. I typically get home from in office work days around 5:30-6pm but that can be flexible if needed. I’m home most weekends and can care for your furry friends throughout the duration of the weekend. I live within a community that is within half a mile of a very large park! I also can travel to your home and have a ton of flexibility with whatever care your pet(s) need!
“Doug and Lauren are absolutely wonderful! They always do an amazing job house sitting and taking care of Lily while we’re away. We can’t thank them enough for the love, care, and attention they give her and for making sure she feels comfortable, safe, and loved in our absence. Knowing Lily is in such caring hands gives us complete peace of mind. We truly appreciate all they do and highly recommend them!”
About: We currently have 2 Dogs, 1 cat, and 2 kids. I have had animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with 3 poms and multiple cats. I have handled ALL different types of dogs through family and friends. Would also be willing to take care of other pets if needed. We currently foster cats and walk dogs when able through spca. I have delt with young pups to seniors with mediation. I love all animals and take care of them like my own. I can be flexable. I am a stay at home dad with my daughter and son who is currently in cyber school. Going on walks around the area or to the park to play are some easy ideas. Love walking or jogging a pet if they are up for it. I can drop in, take them for a walk, play with them at the park, play in home or back yard or whatever you/they need.
“Chloe is awesome! My pets were well taken care of and happy when we returned. She came over before the appointment so my dog will be used to her and she was super friendly, professional, and clearly loved animals! I will definitely be using her again!”
“Chelsea was a natural fit for my two “girls”. As kind and sweet as Chelsea is, my girls are used to being spoilt rotten and there is no doubt that Chelsea went above and beyond. When needed again, I would choose Chelsea again and my girls would welcome her back with open paws!!❤️”
“Kaylee did an amazing job of taking care of my fur family. She was proactive in meeting with me and my cats to make sure I was comfortable and the cats felt comfortable with her. She read my care instructions and asked good questions. She checked in frequently to help put my mind at ease. She was patient with my senior kitties who need lots of attention. She spoiled them with snuggles and movie night! She did a great job and planning on rebooking with her.”
“Kiah was outstanding. She took excellent care of my German Shepherd mix while I was out of town. Very conscientious, personable, and attentive. She gave me regular updates and really went above and beyond. I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended.”
About: I have been blessed with taking care of my two senior dogs; my labrador, Bentley, and my puggle, Lilly. As well as my puppy, who is also a Labrador, Toby! I have also pet-sat and walked my sisters GSP from when he was just a tiny, little guy! He’s a lot bigger now, and still has the same puppy energy! Either way, I am ready to care for your furry family. :) I currently work full-time as a barista. On average, I am at the cafe 4 days a week. Unfortunately, I do not have a set-schedule; however I am off every Sunday! Through the years of taking care of my three dogs, I can confidently say that I can take care of your fur-babies in many cases, whether they need to be let out to potty, need a play-mate, walk, etc. Growing up and having two labs, a puggle, and taking care of my boyfriends 2 Great Danes, and my sisters German Short-haired Pointer, I have knowledge on both smaller and larger dogs!
“Anna did an awesome job caring for our elderly fur baby Kingston! This was our first experience using Rover and we couldn’t be happier! Kingston can be very particular about his caregivers and he gives her ten paws up?!! We would recommend Anna highly and hope to use her again!”
“Rachel was great to work with on Finn’s first stay. She kept me up to date on his activities and shared videos and photos. She made sure to understand his routine and follow his needs. Gave him lots of attention through play, walks and cuddles. Everything at home is the way I left it and I have to say it was a very pleasant experience and highly recommend.”

“Hannah was once again amazing and took great care of our dogs while we were away. She did great with providing updates and sent lots of pics to make being away from our pups a little easier 😊”
“Madison was wonderful! I had a last minute trip and struggled to find anyone but she came through. My one cat requires medication twice a day and that wasn't an issue for her. She provided photo updates and was super flexible when we were arriving back late. She also responded very timely to messages. You can tell she cares for animals. Definitely recommend!”

About: I am an emergency nurse 2 days a week and a mom to 2 crazy girls full time. My availability on the weekends can vary because of my nursing job. I’m available early mornings and late evenings if needed, and I have Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays from 8-4:30 wide open! I’ve had a dog my entire life and currently have a 7 year old rescue! I absolutely love dogs and any other animals. I’m looking for another way to make money while doing something I love. I will treat all animals as if they are my own.

I love long walks or even just dropping in to ensure your loved ones are fed and comfortable! I am very good with all types of dogs no matter the size! I have personal experience with dogs who are food or toy aggressive so those will not bother me. I am comfortable with crating dogs if needed and doing whatever is needed to keep your animals safe
“Christian was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met him, we knew Dobby was going to be in wonderful hands—and that he’d found a new best friend. Christian took such great care of him and kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed, and very loved-on pup! We would absolutely love to have Christian stay in our home with Dobby again and couldn’t recommend him more highly.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Hanover Junction
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,510 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hanover Junction. 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 Junction 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 Junction 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 Junction 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.
