“Our one year old Bernese mountain dog, Maize, spent four nights with Jeff. She is curious, loves to be outside and check out new smells. His yard was perfect for her! Jeff was perfect for her. He took her on walks and gave her plenty of time to explore his backyard. Maizie was exhausted and slept the whole afternoon when we brought her home. I'm sure she was dreaming about her new friend. Super Experience! We already have another time booked.”
“Buford absolutely loves going to visit. There’s great communication on any concerns and Heather provides a couple photos and videos each day. We’d recommend them to anyone!”
“I will definitely be using Melissa again if I need a dog sitter! This was my first time using Rover and was super nervous about leaving my pup with a stranger for the weekend. Melissa sent me pictures of Leia and reassured that she was doing great. When I brought her home, she passed right out! Could tell she had a fun filled weekend! Highly recommend Melissa!”
“We loved working with Kimberly. She watched our dog for the first time and suggested a meet and greet to make sure she was a good fit with her own dog. We loved that and it made us trust her from the start. When we met her, Kimberly asked us many questions about our dog that made us feel like she would take very good care of her. Also, Kimberly’s home is quite literally the perfect set up for dogs. We know that our dog loved staying there and we enjoyed the updates Kimberly sent us throughout her stay. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“I would definitely recommend Todd as a sitter! He took my dog for walks and she enjoyed playing in their fenced yard. My dog had an operation recently and was still on antibiotics every 12 hours. Todd made sure she got her medicine on time and texted me after each dose to let me know she got it. He also sent pictures and kept me updated with how she was settling in. Very happy with her stay with Todd and his family.”
“Such a Blessing of a Family to leave our puppy with! All our hesitations and anxieties of leaving our 4.5 yr old mini Aussie for a week were instantly gone as Shelby and daughter so lovingly gave her a home away from home. Along with her gentleness and patience came two gorgeous Bernedoodle friends to make our girl’s stay a superFun place to be while we were away! Felt guilty picking her up from her Staycation. Highly Recommend!!”
“Alex did a great job with our energetic, 2.5 year old GSD. He kept us updated everyday and our pup loved her time with him. She happily greeted us and then promptly knocked out soon after we got back on the road haha. No question your pup will be in good hands with Alex.”
“Michelle was wonderful! She made sure my pups felt completely comfortable the whole time. I loved getting so many photo updates every day. I always knew they were in great hands. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Raina watched my Snickers for two days and took excellent care of her. Snickers is old and she accommodated for her 13 year old body taking her out frequently and helping her up onto furniture. The home was clean and safe for my baby girl. I would definitely recommend Raina!”
“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful! Her and her family took amazing care of Monty while we were away — sending regular updates, photos, and making sure he got plenty of love, walks, and playtime. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands. I’d definitely recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Maria took such great care of our pup while we were away! She sent us pictures with updates, which made us feel connected! I highly recommend Maria for care, we will be booking again for future needs!”

“Great set up with the yard...friendly dogs...and Tara and her husband were very communicative. Dealing with them made you feel like they really cared and it wasn't just a job. Definitely recommend!”
“Clooney Marie was very well taken care of by Chase & Jessica. This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous at first. Highly recommend this couple. This dog mama was so happy my girl was in a good place with good people.”
“Kristina is an amazing sitter, she goes all out to care for your pup. She even went out to find the specific food I feed my dog when I forgot to bring it. Highly recommend her!”
“Kerry and her family took amazing care of our boxer, Betsy, while we were away for a week. From the start, Kerry was quick and easy to communicate with, which made the whole process stress-free. What really stood out were the daily updates and pictures—seeing Betsy happy, relaxed, and clearly loved gave us so much peace of mind while we were on vacation. It truly felt like Betsy was part of their family during her stay. She went on daily walks, got plenty of attention, and was very well cared for the entire time. You could tell Kerry genuinely enjoys dogs, and her whole family embraced Betsy like their own. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Kerry again in the future!”
“We had a great experience with Jill! From the beginning, she was super responsive and easy to communicate with. She took excellent care of our dog and kept us updated with pictures during his stay. She even brought him to our wedding so we could get a picture with him. Jill is so sweet and we will definitely be booking her again!”
“Kayla was absolutely fantastic and our pup Doc looks forward to the next time he gets to go back. Kayla sent us updates every day, she sent pictures, and she sent a video! She is very kind and went above and beyond when his hip dysplasia acted up and he wasn’t feeling the best-she did everything she could to make him comfy and in less pain. Thanks Kayla-our family is happy we found you and we will definitely book again ?”

We had a fantastic experience with Holly and Mike! They were excellent communicators, keeping us updated regularly and sending lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They were also incredibly flexible with our schedule, which we really appreciated. On top of that, they are just genuinely kind people who clearly care about the pets they look after. We will absolutely be using their services again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any dog owner looking for reliable and caring sitters!
Kerstyn took great care of my dog while I was on a week long international vacation. I really appreciated the meet and greet prior to booking to ensure a great fit. She kept me up to date and shared pictures and videos to ease my mind. I feel like my dog was truly welcomed into her home and wasn't just a job. I highly recommend !

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Hobart is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $79 per night. On Rover, sitters 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.

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.
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.
95% of sitters in Hobart can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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.
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
- 97% 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.
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 WI 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
