“Melanie did a great job checking in on my cat while I was away on vacation. I would recommend her for anyone looking for dependable care for their animals. Thanks, Melanie!”


“We booked Jacob with a short notice. Great first impression during the meet-and-greet and took great care of our dogs. House looks good when we returned and dogs are well taken care of. Highly recommend, will definitely book again in the future.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up around animals and have experience helping care for a wide variety of pets. This has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand the unique needs and personalities of different animals. I grew up with Labrador Retrievers and have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra care and attention. Whether it's feeding, exercise, playtime, walks, or simply providing companionship, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I am dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets like they are my own. I understand that every pet is part of the family, and my goal is to give owners peace of mind while providing their pets with the care, love, and attention they deserve. As a college student who works part-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I carefully manage my classes and work hours so I can give pets the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Because I genuinely enjoy being around animals, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding, playtime, or evening visits, I am committed to making sure pets stay happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am dependable, responsive, and dedicated to following each pet's routine to help them feel safe and at ease. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I follow each pet owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication needs, and any special care requirements. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality and routine so I can provide consistent care and minimize stress while their family is away. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I also respect my clients' homes by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as they left it. My goal is to provide dependable, trustworthy care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind.
“Carly did a great job looking after Murphy. Murphy had orthopedic surgery in February and now possibly another surgery to the other leg. She is on pain medications to keep her pain controlled and calm. Carly was on time twice a day to feed and medicate Murphy for pain and then stayed 30 minutes for ear rubs / reassurance. Carly also notified me that some boards were damaged on my back fence when a storm rolled through. I was able to get someone to quickly repair the fence while I was still out of town. I'm a first time user of Rover and will definitely use it again! Thanks!”

About: Hi! My name is Kamile, I am 24 years old and I am looking for anyone who needs their pets walked or taken care of! For about a year I was part of a Vet Assisting Program where I learned how to care for a wide range of traditional and exotic pets. I was the sole caretaker of my family's dog of 15 years and in 2020 I started officially dog walking multiple days a week for a family member. In 2023 I started walking a family friend's dog full time and provided house/dog sitting services for them as well for the 2 years I worked for them. Currently I am available anytime on weekends for house sitting or drop ins. During the week I am available in the afternoon for drop ins. If house sitting during the week I will be at work from 8:30am to 3:30pm. I enjoy getting to know your pets routines and being available for their needs during the time we spend together. I have ample amounts of time to spend with your pet to make sure they have a good experience with me.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. While I’m not able to have any furry companions of my own right now because of my current living situation, I truly miss having them in my life. I’d love the opportunity to give your pet plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and, with your permission, a few well-deserved treats! I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently work full time at home Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:30pm however, my schedule is flexible and I am able to take breaks throughout the day. I can make almost anything work with enough notice. I provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay in the environment where they feel happiest and most comfortable. I understand that keeping their normal routine helps reduce stress while you’re away. I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, and lots of love. I’ll also follow any specific care instructions you provide to ensure your pet’s routine and needs are met every step of the way.
About: My love for animals started at a young age along with my desire to protect and care for them. What I can offer you is my commitment, dedication, and loyalty. I've completed a year working as a Kennel Assistant at the Central Maui Animal Clinic in Kahului. Basically what I do is clean kennels; set up kennels so it's more of a "comfy" feeling for the animals; take dogs outside to play & poop; provide food & water; and lastly, administer medications if necessary. I admit that I'm not quite comfortable administering medications, but if you explain it to me thoroughly, then I'll be more than happy to do it! I've had a fair share of what it's like working with animals. I mostly specialize in puppies; dogs; kittens; and cats. With that being said, it's safe to say that I do have some experience, but not quite as advanced. I wish I could expand on the services that Rover suggests, but the services that I can offer you are: house sitting; drop-in visits; doggy day care; and dog walking. I look forward to meeting up with you and your lovable fur babies. I'm currently working full-time, 4 10 hour shifts a week from 7:30am to 5:30pm. That means that I have 3 days off (Sunday - Tuesday) and work Wednesday - Saturday. The days that I'm off, I can provide the services that are stated above in "Pet Care Experience". The days that I do work, I can provide house sitting services and drop-in visits since I mostly work through the whole day. Living in a low income apartment has made it difficult for me to care for pets, so it will be very unlikely that I'll be able to care for your pets in my home. Hence, this is why I won't be able to provide any boarding services. I like to think of myself as a very respectful, considerate, compassionate, and trustworthy person. As I've gotten older, I realized that everyone has boundaries. My utmost purpose is to prove to you that you can trust me and that I'll be respectful towards caring for your pets and household as if they were my own.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve helped care for pets for friends, family, and neighbors for years, including feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them attention while their owners are away. I’m patient, reliable, and love getting to know every pet’s personality. I’m currently working overnight so I’m usually free during the day, around noon would be perfect but I’m pretty flexible as far as letting your dog out or feeding your cat if needed! As a pet owner living in an apartment with my own dog, I understand how important it is for animals to get exercise, attention, and time outside instead of feeling cooped up indoors. I make it a priority to keep pets active, comfortable, and emotionally cared for through walks, playtime, and quality attention. I always want every animal in my care to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in whatever environment they’re in
About: I have two French Bulldogs, Louie and Rufus and often dog sit for my siblings. I enjoy being outside and taking dogs for a walk. Retired, which leaves me with lots of free time. I enjoy spending time with my two dogs, Louie and Rufus and my 8 year old grandson. I will happily walk your dog(s) and/or drop in for a play date. I care deeply for dogs and am safe and responsible at all times.

About: I am a young energetic dog owner of two 1 year-old puppies that have high energy and love to play in our big fenced in backyard. I have also taken care of pets since I was young and grew a passion for it! I do make the schedule for the shop I work at and the partner I live with is the owner of the shop, so we are able to work around the needs of clients as well as the needs for our own dogs. I have a fenced in yard that has plenty of space for the dogs to run around in and two friendly dogs that love other dogs. I am also willing to navigate around people’s feeding schedules or daily routines that are made for their dogs as well!
“Nora is super responsive and respectful. She instantly connected with my dog when they met for the first time. And she is very detailed in her notes. She was even kind enough to bring my garbage bin back in on a particularly windy day.”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals ever since I was small. I want them to have the best life they can, so I make sure to do things right for them! I’ve had pets of my own (like fish and hamsters) along with the family dog that I’ve cared for, and I have also assisted other family and friends with pet sitting before. I am currently a bridal stylist at David’s Bridal and am busiest on the weekends. I am very flexible during the weekdays, and if timing allows I’d love to help you out on a weekend too! I am committed to following all instructions given to me for your pet. I want everyone to be as comfortable as possible, meaning that I will try and keep their routine as close to normal as possible.

About: My name is Holly, I worked as a Pet groomer for 4years. There I learned all sorts of things. From nail clippings to anal gland expressions. After my arm gave out I went to a vet clinic where I was in charge of the kennels. I have experience working with all sort of dogs at all sorts of ages with all sorts of temperaments. Some needed special attention and some where happy with just hanging out. I must say the special needs animals are my favorite. I love giving that extra care to make sure every pet I encounter feels safe and comfy. At the vet clinic I also learned various first aid techniques. I love animals more than I love people. I'm pretty flexible and don't mind bending my time slots in order to accommodate your 4legged friend.
About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember! Growing up we had Great Danes, bulldogs, Dalmatians, and a wiener dog! Other family members and neighbors have relied on me to feed, bathe, walk, and care for their beloved fur babies throughout my life! We also currently have 2 cats that I will occasionally care for while my brother is out of town. I work 12 hour shifts as a nurse, so I have 4/7 days free to care for your fur babies! I can take your dog on a walk, feed them, let them out potty, etc. just let me know how I can help! I recently moved to Green Bay for work and live in an apartment that does not allow animals; however I am more than willing to travel to your home to care for your fur baby!
About: I've always loved animals. I've helped to walk my families dogs since I was a kid and have always loved hanging out with furry friends. I currently work a full time job but have the weekends free to spend lots of time with your pet. I also have plenty of time on weeknights to still give your baby some love. Keeping your pet feeling comfortable and safe in their home with a new person is extremely important. I seek to provide a stable, as close to normal routine for your pet while you're away.
“Our dogs took to Amme right away, and so did we! She is easy-going, but also mature and reliable. She has been easy to reach and communicates before and after the visit. I recommend her!”

About: Friends, families, and neighbors have relied on me to dog sit, dog walk, and do potty breaks for them for over 10 years now! I love all breeds and ages of dogs! Growing up I’ve always been around dogs, I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to to find and make the needed time for your pets! I prefer to care for pets outside of my own home as I have two dogs of my own at home! I am very flexible with meeting the needs to take care of your dog!
“This was our first time using Madison and Rover. Madison was great with our cat while we were away for an extended trip. She had to give him meds and apply medication topically. When we returned home we knew he was taken care of well. We will definitely call her again in the future for any pet needs. Thanks again, Madison!”

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Hobart choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Hobart with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
