“Leanna was amazing and attentive at taking care of our precious fur babies. She helped us out literally last minute and sent the cutest pictures at each visit! She was respectful of our home and to our dogs and we will be recommending her over and over again!!! Thank you so much Leanna!”
“Sara has been a blessing for my cat and I. My cat used to be very anxious when I come home due my work hours; however, since having Sara's drop-ins she is very calm, sweet and playful when I come home-!!. Sara is very sweet and has a calm demeanor. She follows the given instructions , responds to messages on time, send you awesome pictures and videos and you can tell she tries to take care of your pet like one of her own. I would highly recommend her!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child, and I’ve always had them in my life! I have been relied on to give medications, board pets, and take them on walks. Dogs bring me so much joy and I will provide the best care possible! I currently work as a nurse 3x a week, and will be able to provide pet care on my other 4 days off when available. My schedule varies each week, but I am open for booking on any of my days off! I will walk into my clients home slowly and be sure to gain the pet’s trust before approaching. I am active and will be able to provide long walks when necessary!
“I recently had the pleasure of having Cheyenne cat sit my two beloved cats, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. Cheyenne was attentive, caring and insured my cats were comfortable and well taken care of. Her reliability and dedication truly made a difference and I returned home to two very happy cats. I highly recommend Cheyenne to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring cat sitter. She is a true professional and a wonderful person who clearly loves what she does. My cats and I are grateful for her excellent care and will definitely be requesting her services again in the future if need be. Using the service for the first time, there were a lot of exceptional candidates to cat sit, but I am very happy with my decision to hire Cheyenne’s services, and you would be too. Thank you Cheyenne!”
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 had dogs ever since I was born ranging from large dogs to small dogs. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care, walk, and watch their animals. I work full time during the week, but I have weekends and evenings to care for your pups! I love to fill my spare time with loving animals. When I do drop-ins or walks, I treat your dog like I would my own—making sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. I’d love to hear any tips or quirks about your pup so I can give them the best possible experience and meet their individual needs.
About: I have owned a few pets over the course of my life and have learned I need them as much as they need us. It’s a pawfect life with a dog. I’m currently working part-time and would welcome the time spent with your pet. Hugs and cuddles are always welcomed! Love walking and playing with all pets, or relaxing with those that are less active. I have a fenced in yard, we play fetch and work on teaching tricks and having lots of fun. Dog parks are also nearby for additional exercise.
About: I have had all kinds of animals since I was six. I had cats, dogs, guinea pigs, bunnies, etc. I am very experienced when it comes to handeling animals. I currently work Thrusday-Sunday as a server at one of my jobs. During the mornings, I dedicate my time to pursing a tattoo apprenticeship. I will be available to take care of your pets after 7 on Monday-Wednesday. I am able to take your pet for walks, as well as play with them outside. Additionally if they need to be crated, I can do that as well.
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.
“Rochelle did an awesome job caring for our three dogs while we were out of town for the day. She was sure to take LOTS of pictures to put me at ease for being a first time rover user. Last time we left our dogs with a sitter we went across the country and ended up having to put down one of our dogs while we were gone as she got really sick and needed multiple blood transfusions, so you can understand how aprehensive I was to leave my dogs again. Rochelle put my mind at ease from the moment I saw her interact with our dogs. She interacted with each dog personally and made sure each dog got 1x1 time with her which I loved. She was soo good with our girls, following our notes perfectly on feeding and sticking to their schedules. You can tell she loves dogs and is super patient with them. She's the next best thing to myself staying home to care for my girls. We will definitely book with her again hands down!!”
About: I have grown up with pets, dogs specifically my entire life! I love dogs of all ages, all shapes and sizes! Having an animal companion to spend time with is some of the best company you can ever have! In my family I have helped raise/train puppies, we have also fostered in my household, and I have taken care of animals for friends and family. I am a very active person, I teach phy ed, so I love getting out for walks or runs. I am a teacher, so during the summer my hours are pretty flexible. I do have to teach summer school in the mornings for a short period of time, but then I am available for mid morning or lunch time pet breaks! Making sure all animals are safe and well taken care of is very important to me. Following instructions on how a dog best responds is very critical. Dogs are animals of habit when trained, so I want to continue to follow routines and expectations that their owner has. In my full time job I am trusted with children and I understand that for many people, pets are loved just as much as a child.
About: I grew up with a golden lab and have been around a variety of breeds and sizes of dogs through out my life. I also grew up with two cats and am the proud parent of both a male and a female cat that I have raised since they were each around three months old. Gus is the first cat I adopted, he just turned three years old and is a little lover boy. He is a very smart cat and knows how to sit, stand, spin, and we are currently perfecting shake. Muffin is my little lady. She is a year old and has the personality of a stereotypical female cat. She doesn’t really like anyone other than me and even then she has to initiate all the affection. She may be a diva in that aspect but is the most playful and energetic cat I have ever owned. I have previous experience with dog sitting. I have worked with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. Overall, I have not had a bad experience or have been unable to bond with a dog I was watching. I have had to learn how to problem solve in certain situations. For example, one of the senior dogs I used to walk wouldn’t eat unless I physically fed her out of my hand. Due to my schedule, I am not able to own a dog myself so this is a way for me to fill that void! I am a full time college student, but all my classes take place on line. I also work roughly 30 hours a week and take care of my house and cats. I typically work in the afternoon and then all day on the weekends. Therefore, I would be available to check in on your pets in the morning, noon area, and sometime after 8 pm! I am very big on trust and will ensure that your pet and I are a good match before taking them out on a walk or a public area. I can also crate the pet or follow whatever care instructions you may have!
“Cassandra was fantastic! She stopped by the week before for a meet-and-greet and immediately sat on the floor to let our three dogs meet her. They took to her immediately. She provided lots of pictures and information when she came over, so we knew just how the dogs were. Highly recommended!”
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!!
“Great communication, always sent pictures of my cat at each visit to put my mind at ease, and very pleasant when I met her in person before I left for my trip. No complaints at all and I plan on booking with her again if I need to travel.”
“Meg was awesome! She sent pictures every day, took care of the kitties with care, and had no trouble with our complicated (and spoiled) crew. We will definitely ask for Meg the next time we travel.”
About: Since I was one month old, I’ve been around animals. I treat them with respect, love, boundaries and instinct. They’re family, and should be treated as such :) I run my own business and make my own schedule, so animal care will be around your schedule. I would ensure your pet’s routines are accommodated. My house and yard are over 3 acres. if there’s a way in which we can care for your pet here, we will and will be quite happy

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.
