“Had a great first experience with Michael! He was super responsive, right on time, really kind, easy to work with, and sent lots of sweet pics. Our dogs were definitely in good hands.”


About: I’ve cared for pets for friends and family for years and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m dependable, attentive, and understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and well cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, overnight care, and giving your pets plenty of attention and affection. I’ll also make sure to keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I’m self employed as a photographer, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. When I’m not photographing a wedding or session, I work from my computer and can easily plan my day around walks, drop-ins, and overnight pet sitting. I’m also happy to work with your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I know how much trust it takes to have someone care for your pets and stay in your home. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s normal feeding, walking, playtime, and bedtime routines as consistent as possible. I’m respectful of your home and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing everything is going well.
“Sarah was excellent! She accepted my request last minute and accommodated changes in plans. She kept me up to date before and after visits. Sent pictures and tracks from walks. She understood the needs of my aging but active border collie and kept her active and engaged while I was away for the weekend. She made sure that my dog was fed left the lights and music on for her when she left. She met and exceeded expectations. Would highly recommend. We look forward to Sarah visiting again!”

About: Took care and watched my mom’s boss dog when she went outside the house to tend to the plants and go to the market for food I have depression and so doing this will cause me to be more energized and have a structured schedule and routine. I also am thinking about getting a service dog for my mental health so this will help a little. I will get there leash safely and tie it to the end of the dinner table if I don’t want the dog to go upstairs.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 11, administering medicine, taking them on walks, and keeping them company while their families are away. I’ve gained trust from friends, families, and neighbors over the years and love doing it! I am student teaching this year, so weekdays will often be occupied for me once the school year starts. However, weekends and evenings should be available, so just ask! I have cared for many dogs and cats with different needs, so whatever you would like me to do for them, I can. When pet sitting, I like to make sure to keep the pets company while their families are gone by hanging out and playing with them as much as I possibly can while they’re under my care. Even if I have work to do, I do my best to do everything at the house so that the pet is not alone.
“What a blessing to find our MJ!! Thank you!! 🙏 Gilbert and I are so happy to have you. How amazing it is to have peace of mind when traveling that my boy is loved and well taken care of. I cannot thank you enough!! Gilbert said “I love you!” 😘❤️🥰🥰🥰”

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m very attentive to each dog’s routine and needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply providing calm companionship. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, comfort level, and any specific instructions from their owner. I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, walks, basic grooming like brushing, cleaning up after pets, and making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. My goal is always to make pets feel as relaxed and loved as they would at home. I also make sure owners feel at ease by providing updates and photos so they know their dog is in good hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I currently have a very open and flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day rather than rushing visits. I’m able to adapt to each pet’s routine and make sure they get the care, consistency, and attention they’re used to at home. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every dog in my care is supervised, secure, and in a calm environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, routines, and any special needs their dog may have. I pay close attention to behavior and body language to make sure dogs are comfortable and not stressed. I also keep a clean and organized environment, remove any potential hazards, and make sure dogs are always handled with patience and care. When outside, I prioritize leash safety and awareness of surroundings to ensure safe walks. Building trust with both dogs and their owners is very important to me. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing and can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, positive, and dependable experience for every dog I care for. 🐶
“Raeven is clearly gifted! She is one of the good ones. She is truly a dog whisperer. My dog, Gabby, absolutely loves her like I have never seen her behave with another person save for me and my husband. It makes my heart smile. I know she is being well taken care of and super happy. Raeven is communicative, sends pics, and clearly cares about each animal like they belong to her personally.”
“Juan came by to take care of our kitties and it was perfect. He was communicative, respectful of our house, and did everything exactly as we wanted. Definitely rebooking with him again for Kitty care.”

“Martina was patient with my old reactive pup! He's in a new apartment in a new town and Martina did everything to help him feel comfortable and gained his trust quite quickly and easily. Very satisfied and I look forward to working with Martina further in the future!!”

About: I've had two dogs of my own for the past 14+ years and two cats for the past 4 years. I also helped foster and train several puppies as well as take care of older dogs and administer meds. I have a husky so I am familiar with high-energy dogs. I'm currently not working at the moment so I will be home full time with your pets. They will receive full attention, love and care. We have a fenced yard as well as a greenbelt in our neighborhood with a walking trail so your dogs will get exposed to many different areas and will love the walks. There's also a dog park nearby if that is something your dog prefers.
“Elsker and Kody were happy to meet Tania and Cristian. Kody took a lot of liking to Cristian! Overall it was a positive meet and greet and they are both looking forward to the walk around the school!”


About: Hi! I joined a local organization called Purrfect Pals at 16 years old. It was a place dedicated to giving our feline friends a chance for or they provided a happy life for our feline friends where they could live out the rest of their days in peace. Old or young, healthy or sick, grumpy or happy. They all had a home at perfect pals! I strive to follow the same ideals and treat all furry friends as my own family. I grew up with dogs and cats and have spent my entire life around them. Often being called a Dog or Cat whisper (Though i always deny it!) I know how difficult it is to trust your baby with a stranger, I promise to treat your baby as mine. As I would wish no less for my Loki. Hi, Honestly it’s only three days out of the week that I need to limit the exact times that i can provide potty breaks. I work three 9s and two 6.5s, while having Thursday and Fridays off work. I often start early in the morning and am off work by early to mid afternoon, which provides plenty of time for our furry friends even on days I do work my other job! As long as i’m aware of the time frame I can be pretty dang flexible! Base Expectations for Cat Care: Food! water refresh, litter box cleaning, brushing (if cat likes) and play time (this length and type depending on cat (please tell me all about your kitty!)), Base Expectations for Dog Care: Feeding, water refill, potty break! play time! please tell me what your dog likes! I prefer to meet the dog where they are :) *I’ll follow all feeding schedules as best I can!

About: I am an avid pet lover and caregiver with many different breeds of animals. I have an innate ability with animals who sense my compassionate nature for their well being. I am trustworthy, honest, seeking part time supplemental income. I have a friend who owns a Bernice Mountain Dog, who I have dog sat for many times as well as taken on long walks and fed. I also helped raise two female Alaskan Huskies from pups. I taught them basic obedience training (how to shake, sit and lay down). I am available to work anytime Monday-Friday and anytime on Saturday and Sunday. I can do overnight stays during both week nights and weekends. I’m currently unemployed, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends and would love the opportunity to watch your pup. I will make sure to actively walk your dog, feed and play with them. If you have a fenced yard I will make sure your dog gets plenty of play time outside.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Hobart is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 10,951 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hobart. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Hobart. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Hobart after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hobart. On Rover:
- 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
