“Great experience, Aiden bed Shadow as well as played with him and took him on a nice long walk. He also took the job last minute and we are very grateful for him helping out! Will book again”
“She did a great job with my fur babies! I also noticed when I got back from my trip that she swept up the litter, because I know they really kick it around the house. Very communicative & sent pics of them daily.”
“Taryn did an amazing job with Dipper. She made sure he did his business outside and calmed him down. Dipper is not used to new people, but she got him to warm up to her very easily. If I need someone to watch him again I would definitely hire her.-”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and dogs have always had a special place in my heart! Growing up, my family had dogs, horses, goats, chickens, cats, birds, fish—you name it. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me, and over the years I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for friends and family whenever they go on vacation. I understand that every dog is unique, whether they’re full of energy and love long walks or prefer cuddles and a relaxing day at home. My goal is to make your pup feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away by keeping their routine as normal as possible. You can expect plenty of playtime, belly rubs, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I treat every dog as if they were my own and will keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in good hands! I currently work full-time from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM and have an hour commute each way. Because of this, I offer boarding for pets who are comfortable being alone for an extended period during the workday. I am fully available on weekends and can dedicate plenty of time to your furry family members! I also offer evening dog walks and drop-in visits after work. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about my schedule or your pet’s specific needs—I’m happy to accommodate whenever possible! Your pet will be welcomed into a safe, loving home away from home! I live in a top-floor apartment with carpeted stairs and plenty of windows, perfect for curious pups who love to look outside and watch the world go by. There’s also a private dog park directly across the street from my complex, giving your dog a great place to play and burn off some energy. My neighborhood is quiet and pet-friendly, making it ideal for long walks and plenty of sniffing adventures. I make sure every pet gets lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and, of course, treats (with owner approval!). My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away, treating them like part of my own family.
About: I have worked in a doggy daycare that required us to not only manage the dogs but also teach them how to properly socialize with other dogs! This sparked my love for dog training and once I got my dog Turtle my journey to becoming a dog trainer began! My mission is to help you and your dog’s life be more fulfilling together in any way I can. Whether that be teaching you guys how to communicate better, being there while you’re working to support them, or taking them out on adventures I will do my best to make it worthwhile! I can’t wait to meet you but specifically your pup! 🙏🐶❤️ I work two part-time jobs with one of them being a dog trainer. This means plenty of time and skills that I can use to not only be there for your dog but also help them learn! When it comes to your pets care you tell me what is best. You know your dog better than I ever will, which means you know their discomforts. My job is to care for them to the best of my ability and I fully intend to do so by avoiding any extra stress!
About: I have over five years of hands-on pet care experience and currently own a senior cat who is currently 13 and a 9 month old puppy who I recently adopted. Both have taught me the importance of patience, routine, and gentle care. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including seniors who may need extra attention, slower pacing, or medication reminders. I focus on understanding each pet’s personality and needs, making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine, as I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of time and attention. I’m available for weekday services after 6 PM on Fridays, and I’m fully available on weekends for boarding, drop-ins, or extended care. This flexibility allows me to be present, attentive, and consistent with your pet’s routine. I focus heavily on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I follow owners’ instructions closely, maintain clean spaces, and make sure pets are always supervised and secure. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and individual needs, and I always prioritize your pet’s comfort, safety, and well-being whether in my home or yours.

About: Hi there! My name is Andrea and I'm looking forward to helping provide support for your fur-friend. I enjoy walking dogs and cat sitting. I have been dog walking for a few years and grew up with several cats. I enjoy talking dogs on walks so that we both (the dog and I) can get some much needed fresh air! In summertime, I make sure to go on early walks with the dogs so that the heat doesn't affect them as much. I do dog walks and house sits/visits for all pets and have references by request. I am responsible and value communication so that we can both have a great time using Rover. I’m looking forward to helping make your life easier! My schedule is very flexible and I am able to help out throughout the day. I can easily modify my work schedule to help suit your pet’s schedule! I enjoy spending quality time with animals and believe that they are an integral part of a family. I enjoy taking them on walks and letting them get fresh air. I like playing fetch with them as well as just hanging out and giving some good pets.
About: I am very experienced in pet care and have no reservations when it comes to working with animals. I have been in the industry for approximately 5years, I started off as a veterinary assistant and moved on to be a vet tech. I also have worked as a kennel tech, pet nutritionist and doggy day care lead and am a certified dog trainer and groomer! I live in Algonquin and work in northbrook so I can cater to any area. I can work on small things with your pets as well such as door manners and nice leash walking! I am very flexible and have no restrictions. I can occasionally board in my home but it depends on the length of stay. You can always message me with questions!
About: Depending on the needs of your animals, I can come over how many times you need me to and take care of them! This even includes staying overnight if it is what your animal needs! As of right now I am currently unemployed, taking 1 online college course, allowing me to have flexibility to care for your precious animals all throughout the day! Animals are always most comfortable in their home environments and for this reason, pet care in a place where they are used to is best. I do require meet and greets before I take care of your animal, just so you know they are in safe and trusted hands!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hobart stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
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 Hobart 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Hobart with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
