“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: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats of my own and have done lots of pet sitting for my friends and family: Cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters. I worked at a veterinary office for 6 years until I became a physical therapist. I love all animals and will treat yours as I would my own. I’m currently still working as a physical therapist, and I plan to retire in October 2026. But my current schedule is such that I have days where I go in late or come home early so I can accommodate overnight pet sitting or dog walking. I prefer to do overnight pet sitting in your home, as that is what your pet is used to and will feel more comfortable with. I will follow any instructions you give me and abide by any pet rules you have in your home. I will give them lots of love!!
“Cassandra was amazing with my little parrot, Mochi. She was originally only supposed to check-in on her once a day for about two weeks, but this got extended to a total of a month because I was diagnosed with cancer really unexpectedly and had to get surgery. Thanks to Cassandra, I felt 100% comfortable about Mochi's health, happiness, and well-being!”
“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!”
“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: 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’ve been around animals all my life, currently have a dog and have been around cats, reptiles, and fish. I’ve taken care of my animals and others animals for over 12 years. I am a quick learner so if there is a medication routine or different things needed for your pet it won’t be a problem. I will love your pets as if they were mine! During the summer I am off of school and work as a nanny. During the school year I am a teacher and can help after school and weekends. As for summer, I don’t work all day everyday I can provide morning and afternoon drop ins, walks as needed and don’t mind staying over to watch your pets. I will not be able to have any animals at my home but I will follow all of your instructions for your animals when I stay at your house or do drops and walks. My dog requires specific care and I will take that seriously in your home as well.
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: 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: I have 2 dogs myself, springer spaniels who are full of personality and energy. My pet sitting experience has been going on for almost more than 6 years now. On many accounts I have stayed for a week at a time to dog sit. I have watched all kinds of dogs from a French Bulldog to a Bernese mountain dog. I love nothing more than to spend time with dogs whether it’s walking them or just hanging out with them! I live in Appleton in the summer and winter for winter break, and in the fall and spring I live in De Pere! I am a sophomore at St. Norbert College and I am on the women's soccer team. On M/W/F I have classes from 9-1, on T/Th I have class from 8-11:30. I can definitely work around those times!! My dogs are home are extremely spoiled, so that carries over to whichever dog I get to pet sit. Little things like making sure they are walked/exercised everyday, water is filled, and a healthy amount of treats :)
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: Over my 12 years of experience, I have pet sit all types of different animals for several neighbors, friends, and family members…including my aunt’s 9 cats. I currently am working part time as I am in college which my college schedule is now very flexible for the fall semester. I wanted another low stress job I would enjoy so I figured why not be around adorable pets ! I treat all pets with kindness and the respect they all deserve. I emphasize their emotions with how they must feel with their owner gone and try to give them extra love and attention to help.
“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 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.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, starting with the pup I grew up with—walking, feeding, bathing, and of course, cuddling. That’s when I fell in love with the joy dogs bring. These days, I still care for my parents’ dogs and figured… why not spread the love?♥️🐶 I’m currently working part-time. I am available anytime after 4 pm during the weekdays. On the weekends, I currently have open availability for your pups! Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I provide a calm, loving environment where pups can relax, play, and feel right at home. Crating is available if need, and I offer regular walks to keep your dog happy and active. You can count on me to treat your pet like family— with trust, patience, and lots of care. 🐾
“Sydney was super sweet and very good with all our crazy dogs! Working in the rescue world, we have accumulated a high maintenance pack, and don’t let just anyone care for our dogs. She has great communication, is highly reliable, and has exceeded our expectations! I definitely recommend Sydney for any or all of your dog care needs!”
“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. 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 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.

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.
