About: I’ve loved and been obsessed with animals of all different kinds for as long as I can remember. I grew up around lots of dogs and have always felt so at home with them. I also have experience with cats, goats, horses, reptiles, amphibians, you name it! I grew up going to camps with farm animals and had friends with llamas and horses and I always enjoyed helping them. As a kid I would take care of neighbors or my friends dogs or cats when they needed it. I have a very deep love for animals and being able to turn that passion into a job has been really special for me. I run my own business from home so my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m happy to visit your pets whenever is best for you. I love taking pictures and will gladly send you video and picture updates! I love tending to each pets needs and finding what works best for them. Whether that’s playing and getting them really tired or providing them company, I want your pets to be as happy and comfortable as possible. I will treat your pet as if it were my own and hopefully I can provide you with some peace of mind while you’re away 😊 I’m available for early mornings, mid day, or evening visits. Weekdays and weekends. I have a very active life style and enjoy being outside. My love of animals and being outdoors go hand in hand and it works perfectly for me. I really love getting down and dirty and keeping your pet(s) happy and healthy I’m very adaptable to fit what works best for each pet parent. I can feed and replace water bowls, play, run around in the backyard with them, scoop poop, give medication, give love and pets, or simply just company. I can also work on training and go on walks

Lindsay was wonderful with our very particular/anxious/stressed kitty!! She was incredibly patient with her and respected her boundaries and space. She followed all of our instructions for care and was very communicative with us. She left great rover cards and took lots of photos. We knew our cat was in great hands while we were out of the country. Will definitely book with her again! She is reliable and overall a great sitter!

I had such a great experience with Shannon as my sitter. She was very attentive with my cat Momo and made sure she got lots of love and playtime. Shannon sent updates and photos every visit, which really put me at ease while I was away. Momo can be shy but warmed up to her right away, that says a lot! I’ll absolutely book her again.

Janine did a fantastic job caring for Wally while we were traveling! She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and patient throughout the entire process. Wally can be a little cautious and takes time to build trust with new people, and Janine was so understanding and willing to work with him at his own pace. Her patience, kindness, and dedication gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. We truly appreciate the care and effort she put into making Wally feel comfortable and safe. Janine is wonderful, and we will absolutely continue using her services. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!

Sara was accommodating and personable with me and great with my two 14-year-old cats. She was able to medicate Esteban and got both of my cats to warm up to her by the end of the stay. It warmed my heart to see them seeking out pets and cuddles!

Ardelle came to our place to do a meet & greet with our dog. Our very anxious Bear warmed up to her instantly! As we talked through all of our dog's needs, Ardelle was very friendly, receptive, and knowledgeable. She has a lot of working dog experience and it shows! That put me at ease really quickly and I'm confident that our dog will be safe & happy in her hands. Thank you, Ardelle!

About: Hi there my name is Kelsey and I have centered my life around the health and well being of our furry friends. I spent 6 years working in pet insurance and have gained a lot of knowledge about how to create healthy and safe environments for our animals. The key is giving them time to warm up to a new environment, routine care and lots of affection. My own dog turns 15 this year and people still ask me if she is a puppy because of how active and happy she is around others. I always treat every animal as if they are my own and would be honored to do so for your pet too. I spend the majority of my time at home, hanging out in the backyard and have a pretty flexible schedule. We’d go outside at least 5-10 times a day, always early in the morning and right before bed. I have a fenced yard on over an acre of land and lots of non-harmful plants that my dogs loves to sniff around. When the dogs are outside I will be right there with them enjoying the afternoon.

About: Caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making them feel safe, loved, and understood. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra patience—whether it’s for training, medication, or just comfort. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they’re not only cared for, but also feel happy and at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life—I truly enjoy spending time with animals. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to offer consistent, attentive care throughout the week. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I make time every day to give pets the love, attention, and routine they thrive on. I’m happy to adjust my routine to match your pet’s needs and make them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, love, and attention. I follow your instructions carefully—sticking to routines, respecting boundaries, and making sure pets feel secure. I build trust by showing up consistently, staying communicative, and treating every animal with patience and care, just like I would with my own.

About: I’ve had cats since I was a baby, and I was tasked with feeding them and cleaning their litter once I was old enough, and I have a few tricks up my sleeve regarding their medication. I’ve been around a variety of pets my whole life, so I’m very adaptable. I’m also welcoming of any special needs pets, seniors or otherwise! If they’re blind, deaf, paralyzed, can’t control their bladder, need wound care, you name it, I’m perfectly fine with all of it. The amount of pets doesn’t bother me either. If you need a quiet presence for your fur-babies, or one that can keep up with high-energy or high-maintenance pets, I’m your sitter! If there’s one thing I can guarantee, it’s that your fur-babies will be given a lot of love and attention under my care, even if it’s from afar. Your fur-babies needs and comfort come first, regardless of how cute they are, so if they’re wary of strangers I’ll keep my distance. Their boundaries will not be pushed, and I will do my best to not stress them unnecessarily unless I think their safety is at risk. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me and ask, I’m happy to answer! As of right now, I’m taking a summer break from college and have no active jobs that require me to go in person. So I’d say my schedule is probably one of the freest one’s you’ll see. The few responsibilities I have can be attended remotely as long as I have a working computer, but they never take more than two hours at most. Unfortunately, caring for your pets at my own home is not currently available and is incredibly unlikely to be, as I DO live with my parents and they gave a very adamant “no” to that idea. So apologies about that, however I’m more than happy to stay overnight if needed! If your fur-babies have special quirks or need special care, I’m perfectly capable of giving it as long as detailed written instructions are left. However I may ask for a visual demonstration in certain cases, but they’re not required as long as the instructions are written down. I’ll try to stay in the same general vicinity/room as your pets unless instructed otherwise or I notice the action is stressing them, or if they go into a room you don’t want me in. Otherwise, what I do will depend on your instructions to me or what your pet(s) want! Once everything has been attended to for the day and your pets have no longer wish to play, I will be chilling near your pet reading a book or on my phone. During longer stays, I may ask to bring my laptop or tablet. If it’s for more than five days, my laptop WILL be brought as there are certain things I need to attend to on or with it. Regardless of what I’m doing, I’ll always be keeping an eye on your fur-babies and drop what I’m doing if needed. If you have me stay overnight, I’ll bring my own pillow and blanket along with my overnight bag and use either the sofa or any provided sleeping arrangements. I also won’t touch anything in the fridge or pantry unless given EXPLICIT permission, and will instead order in or have my parents or a friend bring me something if I haven’t packed anything. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out and ask me!

Madeleine was amazing! She sent us lots of pictures of our kitties everyday and was very accommodating! She’s super good about communicating everything she did and how the cats were doing during her visit. The kitties were very relaxed when we got back from our trip - thank you so much Madeleine for watching our cats!

This is our second time using Shannon for our cat Momo and she's the best. Tons of photos, great communication, and when a snow storm caused some damage at our house she let us know and even offered to help. Total peace of mind knowing Momo is in good hands. We will keep using Shannon!

I had such a great experience with Shannon as my sitter. She was very attentive with my cat Momo and made sure she got lots of love and playtime. Shannon sent updates and photos every visit, which really put me at ease while I was away. Momo can be shy but warmed up to her right away, that says a lot! I’ll absolutely book her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Hobart on Rover is $17.76 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 6,151 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hobart. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
