“August had a great time with her dogs. We left for a cruise so I wasn’t very responsive but that didn’t stop Reanna from communicating with me. She kept the photos and updates coming. I will definitely be booking again. Thanks so much!!!”
“Shani responded quickly to take a last minute long term booking. She was very communicative & hands on with Malcolm. Felt very comfortable leaving my baby while out of the country.”
“Janis and family did a fantastic job in making my dog, Cubbie, feel welcomed and well taken care of. I received daily photos in which I could tell that she was happy and enjoying her stay, unlike the times I took her to an Animal Hospital for boarding. I highly recommend Janis if you are looking for a great stay for your fur baby!!!”
“Andrea and paul were a godsend! I am an over protective pet parent and they both took hazels care as importantly as I do! I received communication while I was gone and pictures of hazel having a great time! I am so grateful that we have found someone as trustworthy as them! We are looking forward to booking again!”
“Danielle watched my Australian shepherd for 3 days and was very sweet and kind with her!! I got regular updates and pictures of how much fun they were having together. My dog bonded with her immediately! I recommend Danielle and will definitely leave my dog with her next time we need a dog sitter....thank you Danielle!❤”
“T’wanna has been taking care of my two cats in her home for a month now while my place is under renovation,and they are doing really well. Because they were going to be there for so long I took all of their cat toys and their cat tree and they’re scratching post and their litter boxes over to her place so they have all the comforts of their own home.She sends me updates and photos and videos. I have been able to visit them a few times. T’wanna has been flexible with my requests to come see my babies. She also takes pictures and photos of me with them when I’m visiting and send them to me. As much as I miss them, I am so grateful that they have someone caring to look after them.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog and cat for 7 years and before then was the go to sitter for all my friends with pets! I’m also a PhD student in psychology working in animal behaviors. Since young, I understand animals and respect them: how we treat them influences their behaviors. I’ve got the heart and the training to give your babies the best care they deserve when you are away! My schedule is flexible as long as we communicate in advance. My weekdays are mostly spent at home for academic work, and can adjust for drop in visits easily. I have a comfy apartment with one dog and one cat. They’ll keep your baby company if you board with us. I’m skilled in introducing new animals to each other, I try to adjust to each animals temperaments. For all services, I appreciate your tips as you know them the best!
“Dominique is great with my girl Pip !!! My dog recognizes her block in the neighborhood as we walk by and even stops to smell the entrance with excitement each time we pass by. Dominique is quick to respond, sends lots of updates with pictures, and I come home to a happy tired dog after being away!!”
“I cannot express enough how wonderful Ebonee is! Our fur baby stayed with her for two weeks while we were on vacation. She keep us updated with pictures and videos and treated him like her was her own. We look forward to using her again :)”
“Daphnay was wonderful. I was really scared to leave my baby with a stranger and Daphnay put me at ease. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future.”
“My Gizelle walked right into Victoria's place inspecting every corner before Victoria could give her a proper greeting! Gizelle was very comfortable and tool to Victoria who sent photos throughout the days I was gone. Somehow Victoria got Gizelle to use a pee pad and play with a toy. Things she never does at home. I am grateful for Victoria's care. Thank you!”
“Ashley B. was phenomenal with our dogs. They came back home happy and well rested. Our tiny dog is very anxious and can be hard to deal with so we truly appreciate her!! She sent photo and video updates and was great with communication leading up to booking and during the stay. Will definitely book with her and her family again! Book with Ashley B - you and your pups will not be disappointed!!”
About: I've grown up living with dogs and have been the primary trainer for my family's dogs. I do pretty well working with new pets and can handle full size dogs. I'm an engineer who gets home from work around 4 or 5PM. My weekends are empty 3/4 weekends a month. I can do overnights on Sunday and during the work week if your dog is used to being alone 9-5. I have a small yard, and live next to the beach. I typically walk my dog to the beach 2-3 times a day on the weekend and she swims often. I usually use a harness to walk dogs, never leave them unattended outside since I have no fence. Make sure they have food twice a day and water always full.
“Cassandra took great care of my dog Ace during his 4-day stay. I can tell he had a good time hanging out with her dog, Chewy. Cassandra was a pleasure to work with and I hope to use her services again for future boarding.”
“I left my dog with Dara for 2.5 weeks and I did not worry about him at all. Finding a good Rover is tricky especially that my dog is reactive and can’t stay with other dogs. She consistently sent updates with photos and I loved hearing about his little quirks! I appreciate her celebrating his birthday too! I can tell that my dog had a great time, we highly recommend Dara!”
“What can I say about Natasha..... we absolutely loved her!!!! This was the 1st time we were away from Denim since we adopted him in May. He's so skittish around new people we were afraid to leave him anywhere. Natasha assured me he'd be in great hands and boy was she right. She spoiled him and loved on him just as we would have. She was available last minute (3hrs before on a holiday weekend) which wad so great. We met at her home and stayed for about 15-20mins until Denim felt comfortable and let her give him belly rubs. She was super patient and didn't mind me checking in on him. She even provided me some photos of him relaxing like he took over her home. I'm super thankful for all she did and would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a trusting person to care for their fur baby. I can't wait to contact her again in the future ??”
“Maria did a very good job taking care of Bubba while I was out of town. I would recommend Maria she not only cares for your pet, but also shows compassion towards their individual needs.”
About: I’ve grown up around big and small dogs all my life! I have fostered dogs with PAWS Chicago in the past, including puppies (2 week old) and dogs with specific medical needs. Since I work part-time, I have plenty of time in the day to go on long walks, play in the park, work on tricks and, of course, cuddle on the couch. Any change in routine can be stressful to handle, so when dog and housesitting, I stick as closely as possible to the dog’s schedule (walks, meal times etc.), to keep them calm and comfortable.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Hobart is $50

Angela is an incredible dog sitter and goes so far above and beyond with communicating and sending photos of my dog. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and I trust her completely with my dog!!! She recently watched Faith for 3 and a half weeks with zero issues and tons of photos every single day, cannot recommend her enough.
Daryl was absolutely amazing with Jellybean this week. My cat is extraordinarily shy in new environments, and Daryl was super patient, keeping me up to date with pictures and texts on his progress to eventually leave his crate and getting comfortable with her family. She even built a fort so that he could have a safe space to hide and provided him a quiet space to retreat to if he was anxious. I could not ask for a better sitter for him. Thanks again!
We had a great experience with Serena and her family while our dog, Stella, stayed with them for eight days. From the start, it was clear Stella was in a warm and welcoming environment, and she quickly settled right in. Serena and her family were incredibly kind and gracious, and it really showed in how happy and comfortable Stella was during her stay. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing she was being well cared for and treated like part of the family. One of the highlights was that Stella even came home having learned a few new tricks! It’s obvious that Serena goes above and beyond, not just looking after the dogs but actually spending quality time with them. We’re very grateful for the care Stella received and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Serena again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!

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 .
