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!

About: I've cared for dogs by sitting for them, ensuring their comfort. I'm always ready to walk, play, and provide love and attention to keep them happy! Pet care fits perfectly into my regular schedule! I'm available on Fridays into the weekends, making it easy for a nice get away for the weekend! I will maintain a constant feeding and walking schedule to keep the pets comfortable. I ensure the space is safe and pet friendly. I engage in playtime and walk to keep them active and happy. I monitor their health and behavior ensuring they're well and alerting the owner if needed.

“I have been having Meg take care of my pets and house while out of town for extended periods of time. She's great with communication and status updates... does a wonderful job - highly recommended :) - Mike”

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’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 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!!

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and taking care of them through the years I’m reliable and caring and will treat your pets like they’re my own. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my schedule. I work full time, but I’m available before and after work on weekdays, as well as on weekends. I can provide walks, drop in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention during those times. I’ll make sure your pet stays on their regular routine and receives reliable, consistent care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs.

“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: 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.

“Very prompt and caring. My poor guy has some orthos issues and can only do 15 minute walks so she sat with him the other 15 and just loved him and massaged his poor stiff joints. 10/10 highly recommend”


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
“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 was born into a dog family and have been exposed to animals of all sorts starting at a very young age. I have had five dogs in my life. The one that meant the most to me was the one I raised myself. Her name was angel and I started raising her when I was only eight years old. My aunt had a litter of puppies and was giving them away to family and friends, I had gotten an Angel and since then she had been my best friend. Unfortunately, she passed away when I was 19 years old due to breast cancer, but she was my responsibility throughout her lifetime. I had only gotten her when she was a few weeks old, and I had the patience and caring heart to take care of her until the day that she passed. I also had a German Shepherd, a black lab, a pitbull /basset hound mix, and a pitbull who only had three legs. Each one of these animals has had a big impact on my life. I have also had many experiences taken care of other animals besides dogs and cats, including, not limited to snakes, wildlife, fish, hamsters, gerbils, birds, etc. I take special care to each animal that is in my responsibility because I believe that each animal should have their own individual cares met, as well as their own happiness and satisfaction met in life. I work full time as a Team Lead at Paragon Community Services. I work 8am-4pm Monday-Friday with no weekends or holidays. I am available on weekends and holidays unless I am scheduled as unavailable. I am also open to evening services after work :) I will always follow the owners instructions as that is my main priority. Any directions given to me will be well followed! I know crate training, walking on leashes, how to operate bark collars, really anything you will use for your pet and if I don’t I am always able to learn!
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: 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.
“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!”

“Rochelle is great; she understands if your pet has certain allergies; understands pet temperaments in that all pets have their own personalities especially Whitey and we appreciate her help.”

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.

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.
