“Chloe, thanks for watching our pups while we were traveling! They came back happy and tired from all the walks and playtime they got with you and your family. We’re already looking forward to coming back!”
“This is our 3rd time leaving Goose with Quang, but this time it was for 3 DAYS!!! They are literally the best, we recieved dozens of photos and videos throughout each day, and it was very evident Goose was not only loved and cared for, but also had a blast! 110% reccomend!!”
“Zankhana was absolutely wonderful! Our dog got several walks every day, and we received lots of photos and updates throughout his stay. It was so reassuring to know he was happy and well taken care of. We already booked its next stay! 🐾❤️”
“Jermaine was great from the start!! He is great communicator; provided updates on how my pup was doing during her stay. Plus she came back healthy and happy :) (what else can a dog mom ask for)”
“Tony is fabulous and I will surely ask him to care for my dog when I travel overseas again. Tony’s demeanor is calm, confident and caring. His home is well-cared for, plus his backyard is fully fenced so he provides a safe and available access to outdoor play and potty breaks.”
“David and his family took incredible care of our dogs! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He sent daily photo updates and videos of the pups having a blast and doing things together. We will absolutely be using David again in the near future! Thank you for opening your home to our pups!”
“Kaylie is incredible! She is so communicative and our pups are always so excited when they get to spend time with her and her own pups! We always have a peace of mind when Kaylie is watching our sweet pups.”
“Kristen sent us daily photos logging Chloe's day of being spoiled. She had multiple walks everyday and even got to lick the spoon with her food on it. There were pics of her getting belly rubs, cuddling on the sofa, sunbathing, and helping with a puzzle. We noticed Chloe seemed to miss Kristen and her family when she got home. Chloe has been asking for walks after meals and wants more attention. We will definitely book again!”
“I was gone over a week and Xiaotong sent me pictures everyday, couple times a day. She responds right away and was very caring about my dog. And her dogs are very calm and friendly. I will definitely use her service again.”
“Chris and his dog family are so sweet. His house isn’t far from where our dog goes on walks sometimes. If we’re in the area our dog now gets excited and wants to go back to that house. Safe to say, he had a great time.”
“Rachael took such good care of my dog, Pippin. She was very patient and attentive which is much needed for this older dog. Great communication and very reliable too!”
“Dana was amazing! My Pug Pogi stood with her for 5 nights. She kept me posted with pics and updates. Her home is doggie friendly and so is her large fenced yard. She has a separate sleeping area for the dogs that is peaceful and she engages with her pet visitors as if they were her own pets. I highly recommend her and I will acquire her pet services again and again! Thank you Dana! Love Pogi and George!”
“Lisa was amazing. It was my first time leaving Henry (16-month-old mini bernedoodle) with someone I didn't know well. She took him on multiple daily adventures outside, sent tons of photos, communication was excellent, and he was a very happy and tired pup when I got back. I highly recommend Lisa and will be using her again in the future!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time with pets. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, so I like to follow each pet’s specific needs and instructions. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel comfortable while they’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can usually make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and spending time with pets during the day. I’m happy to work with each pet’s routine and provide consistent, attentive care. I always put the pet’s safety and comfort first. Before each booking, I take the time to learn about the pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions. I keep a close eye on pets during walks and visits, make sure doors and gates are secure, and keep their environment clean and safe. I also follow the owner’s instructions carefully and communicate promptly if I have any questions or concerns. During the booking, I’m happy to provide regular photo updates so pet parents can feel comfortable knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
“We consider ourselves extremely blessed to have found Maria for our dog. She is seriously an irreplaceable gem. Maria Is incredibly knowledgable about dogs, she helped our older dog settle in very quickly. Our dog is shy and has a very gentle spirit, and Maria just knew how to love on her so well. It is so incredible to finally have found someone that we can trust wholeheartedly with our dog.”
“Nichole and Andrew hosted Reg for the long weekend and I'm so happy he got to stay with them. Nichole and Andrew were great communicators, sending pics throughout the stay keeping me updated. When I picked up Reg, it was like he didn't want to leave! Reg will definitely be back to stay with Nichole and Andrew and their family!”
“Jaime is an excellent dog sitter!! She sent me pictures and updates frequently. She gave my dog Sky her medicines. I would highly recommended her and definitely use her again. Thank you Jaime!!”
About: I've been surrounded by pets my entire life! From a young age I learned the responsibility, dedication, and care that comes along with pets. I have experience with puppies, adult, and senior dogs, kittens and adult cats, and many small animals including but not limited to guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, tortoises, and sugar gliders. I am comfortable with all walks, feeding, bathing, and oral medication. I have experience with reactive/anxious pets, and know how to give them the space they need to feel comfortable. I own my own business and work from home. My husband works from home and is home all day, so plenty of time for cuddles and attention if we're boarding your fur baby! We live in a quiet neighborhood on a dead end street, with a large fenced in back yard for your pups potty breaks and exercise needs! Pets have free reign and are allowed on furniture and the bed, we treat every pet as if they are our own. We do have our own dog (Enzo) but we live in a two level house, and while boarding I stay completely separated in the downstairs part of the house, and the dogs never see each other. The downstairs has its own entrance/exit direct to the fence in back yard, so it's easy to keep everyone apart! I work a flexible hybrid job, in-office Monday thru Friday from 10am-2pm, and am available any time outside of those hours. My husband works from home and is home all day. We will absolutely make sure your fur baby gets plenty of love and affection! We live in a quiet neighborhood on a dead end street, with a large fenced in backyard. I am familiar with crate training, potty training, and leash training using positive reinforcement. I also have experience with reactive and anxious dogs.
“Shon is a very kind person who went above and beyond to take good care of my little dog. I felt very pleased knowing my dog was happy and well cared for while I was away. Shon gave her loads of personal attention and sent pictures and videos of her having fun.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hobart
This was our first time leaving the dogs at Janessa's and we'll be back! Luke and Finn were well cared for, had plenty of room to run, and enjoyed socializing with other dogs. Janessa is a real pro. She texted photos of the dogs every other day, and the dogs looked happy. We feel so lucky to have found her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hobart home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Hobart.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Hobart sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in WA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
