Valerie was awesome, and very attentive to our fur babies. She went above and beyond to make sure they were taken care of, and that we were aware of anything concerning that came up!

Gabby did a great job with Reuben. He looked very happy and relaxed. I appreciate her sending pics during the visit, and the fact that she picked us up as a first time walker on very short notice.

I really appreciated Brooke’s communication when setting up the visitation and throughout the weeks we were away. Brooke cared for our two cats while we were out of town and everything went smoothly. This was my first time using Rover and I’d definitely call on Brooke again. Thank you, Brooke!

About: I have previously volunteered at a rescue for 10 years. I have fostered many animals for the rescue and kept some of those as well. I can handle almost anything. I've also had my fair share of special needs animals, so I'm comfortable handling pets whose needs are out of the ordinary. I've also worked with and owned most types of animals ranging from a few weeks old to 20+ years, so I can provide care to very young or very old animals. I just graduated college and am currently between jobs, so I am at home working on my fixer-upper apartment all day. My schedule is entirely flexible! I will be available almost all waking hours of the day. I can stop in on your schedule to provide care and walks, or just stay over to give the pets round the clock care. I will make sure that your pet stays happy and healthy while in my care!

About: I love caring for dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I’m patient with dogs of all sizes and personalities and always follow feeding schedules, provide regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention so every dog feels at home. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week, including weekends. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m happy to work with different schedules and last-minute bookings whenever possible I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, I take dogs on regular walks for exercise, potty breaks, and fresh air. I also provide plenty of attention, playtime, and follow the pet’s normal feeding schedule and routines. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and at home while their owners are away.

Hannah does an amazing job with my labrodoodle puppy. She is timely, follows care instructions, and is very communicative. I would definitely recommend Hannah if you're in need of someone trustworthy and who treats your animal like her own.

About: Owned a dog since forever. Currently have 2 shelties-3yrs and 1yrs old. But have taken care of dogs all breeds, sizes, ages, and stages of life. I am currently taking a break from my career to reset, recharge, and just enjoy life with my 2 young Shelties. Daily we walk, run, play. It is part of our life. Cat wise my cats care is part of our daily routine. I spoil them and have cat trees in windows for them to watch the neighborhood and provide them with all their favorite toys. Walking and drop in service wise- let me know times, dates, ways to enter the house. If able I would love to bring my dogs to join. If not that is fine. I am willing to walk as much and as long as needed. Drop in share what you need and I will help. I can also give medications if needed.

About: I love all animals! I have been pet-sitting since I was in elementary school. I currently have two tuxedo cats, one of which has to be given medicine twice a day, so I am comfortable with medication administration. I recently graduated from Physician Associate School and I am waiting for the credentialing process to be completed before starting my job! So i have plenty of time to take care of your animals! I care for every pet as if they were my own while also respecting each client’s home, routines, and instructions. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive any approved medications, get appropriate exercise and potty breaks, and have plenty of attention and companionship. I also keep their environment clean by tidying food areas, cleaning up accidents, and maintaining litter boxes or other pet spaces as needed.

About: I grew up with cats and have helped care for friends and family's pets for overnights. I drive for animal rescues to help save animals at risk of euthanasia. Most of my recent experience is with puppies and adult dogs but feel confident I can help with most any pet. I am a huge animal lover and can't wait to meet you and your pets. I have varied availability to care for pets with walks, drop ins, and overnights. I have kept animals in my home for friends and family. I have also stayed with animals in their home. I can administer meds but not injections.

About: I am a caring and dependable pet sitter who has always loved animals. I have my own dog who I love and care for very much, so I understand how important pets are to their families. I also previously worked at a dog kennel, where I gained experience feeding, bathing, cleaning up after, and caring for dogs of all different sizes and personalities. I would treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine because I take care of my own dog and cat at home. Every day I make sure they are fed, have fresh water, and get the attention they need. I also walk my dog and spend time playing with both of them so they stay active and happy. Because I’m used to doing this regularly, taking care of other pets fits naturally into my weekly schedule. I care for pets by making sure they are safe, comfortable, and well taken care of while their owner is away. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walking, playtime, and any other needs the pet may have. I also give pets attention and patience so they feel calm and cared for. When caring for a client’s home, I treat it with respect by keeping things clean, locking doors, and making sure everything is left the way I found it. My goal is to make both the pets and their owners feel comfortable and confident in my care.

About: I have three fur babies, golden retriever x2, and a blue heeler mix. Having animals is such pure joy. The dogs run the home, I just live here! Dog hair and slobbery kisses … I wouldn’t want it any different. My fur babies are happy and very generous to other animals. We have fun here. So bring your dog over, let them jump on the couch, and play with my pups! I work part time, but have a very flexible schedule. I have two boys at home that would give your pups all the love they need. I have a small fenced in yard for your pups. We enjoy talking walks, and playing fetch. My fur babies are the sweetest things and will get along with your pups!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hardy on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 728 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hardy. 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 Hardy 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.

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

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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 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.
