Julie took wonderful care of our 3 kitties, giving us such peace of mind while we were out of town. We knew they were in great hands, and Julie went above and beyond!! We’ll gratefully rebook with Julie anytime we have to go out of town in the future. Thank you so much Julie!!!

About: I've been taking care of dogs & cats my entire life. I have experience as a vet assistant. Animals are my passion and not only do I love providing a loving home for my animals but I also know how hard it is to balance work and life in general when you have pets so I want to be able to care and help you with your fur babies as well! I'm currently only working part time so I have a lot of free time to care for your fur babies ! My schedule is pretty open so on my days off I can take last minute requests . I also enjoy being outdoors even if it's just sitting in the backyard with the dogs I have a fenced in yard with a loving yellow Labrador ! Your pup will have fun and will stay safe with plenty of exercise! I do not go on walks without a leash or without your consent.

I needed care for our cat unexpectedly over Labor Day weekend and Megan not only quickly responded to the request but was flexible when booking. She showed up and sent the best pictures and thorough update. She made it really easy and gave us peace of mind. Thanks!

Eli cared for my boys Symba and Eli for 12 days. I was so blessed to have been able to choose him for this visit. The notes he sent daily told a beautiful little story. I found myself waiting to read the next one🥰🥰🥰. His caring spirit shows through his work. One of my boy's is named Eil!!! 🥰🐈And on that alone , I knew this was perfect. Blessings to you Eli, until next time...Carolyn

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.

Alexis does a great job for me. She’s very conscientious. Both my dogs like her from what I could see in the pictures that she sends me and she does extra things with the dogs. Doing some obedience training with my younger dog. When I first started using Rover, I just expected her to let the dogs out so they could go to the bathroom. She does more than I expected would highly recommend her.

Allie was wonderful with my dogs and put me at ease. It is so hard to find a trustworthy and reliable human that you trust to take care of your beloved dogs. She was timely, sent pictures, and our golden girls really adored her! To top it off, she washed my dog's bowls after their lunch! That was so unexpected, but it was sweet surprise to come home to clean bowls. She definitely goes the extra mile. I would definitely use Allie again, ven for overnight pet sitting while we are out of town.

About: Hello! My services offer walks and drop in visits. I’ve absolutely adored animals since I was little and have grown up with cats and dogs. I’ve been taking care of my own pets as well as strays and fosters for years. My work experience includes managing kennels at a vet, watching large groups of dogs at Beach for Dogs, and I was a bather at Petsmart. When your pet is in my care I can promise you they will be safe, happy and comfortable as can be every time. I’ll love them like my own! I am self-employed. I am able to work my Rover appointments into my schedule without any issues or potential of inconveniencing my clients in any way. I have a calm and nurturing energy when dealing with dogs to make them comfortable. It’s important to give them the opportunity to get their energy out so you can come home to a tired, relaxed dog!

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 am currently an owner of an Alaskan Malamute. My dog gets along and does well around other people's pets. I have grown up with dogs ever since I was a child and I have taught them how to do respond to commands and do tricks such as sit, shake paw, roll over, and even crawling. I have taken care of Huskies, a Pug, a Chihuahua and currently own an Alaskan Malamute. I enjoy taking dogs out on walks to parks and trails or just around the neighborhood with my husband and son. We also like to play fetch in the yard with them and they always enjoy their treats! We love the joy a pet brings to ones home and we enjoy making our furry friends happy. I am available everyday of the week and am always at home except dropping off and picking up my son from school. I do not have any other jobs. I have a fenced in yard where pets love to play fetch or run around. I also enjoy taking daily walks with dogs around the neighborhood and giving treats. I stick to their feeding schedule and pets can sleep wherever they feel comfortable here.

Daryl has been an amazing daily dog sitter for our pup during the week! Our 6 month old puppy is a handful at times and full of energy and Daryl handled him wonderfully. She did exactly what we asked and sent lots of updates throughout her visits. It was such a good feeling to come home to a happy pup at the end of the day. I would highly recommend her to care for your fur babies .

We had a great experience with our cat sitter over four days. They were reliable, communicative, and took excellent care of our two cats. We appreciated the updates and came home to happy, relaxed pets. Highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hobart on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,654 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hobart. 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 Hobart 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 Hobart. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
