I care deeply for dogs and am safe and responsible at all times.

About: I have been a regular pet sitter for several friends and family. I recently did some pet sitting all over England for 6 months and received all 5 star reviews. I’m self-employed and work remotely so able to give a lot of care and attention to your pet. I can be flexible to best serve you and your pets needs. I want to keep your pet the most comfortable in their home and will honor their schedule and needs. I love to provide long walks and play enrichment.
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 just retired from my job as a a physical therapist so my schedule is very flexible! And I can accommodate whatever schedule your pet is on!

About: I’m a compassionate, responsible, and animal-loving person with years of experience caring for children, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and reliability. I’m currently pursuing my master’s degree in social work, where I continue to build strong communication and empathy skills. I bring that same care and understanding to every pet I look after and treat each one like my own! I am currently getting my masters degree in clinical social work which prohibits me from getting a full time job, so I would love to fill the openness of my schedule with caring for animals! I love all animals! I grew up with dogs, and I currently have two cats who I adore. I offer compassionate care and value safety of your animals as a top priority!
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. 🐾
“Allison was so wonderful! She really went above and beyond for our two dogs. We received so many great photos and her communication during the visit was excellent. Would highly recommend!”
“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: 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 2 1/2 years working as a Kennel Assistant at the Central Maui Animal Clinic in Kahului. I’d 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'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’ve had experience under my belt to care for lovable, furry animals that will put your mind at ease. 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: I have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and treat every dog like my own. I have the most experience with hunting breeds and high-energy dogs, but I’ve also cared for small dogs. Since I miss having my own dogs around every day, caring for others’ pets truly fills that void and is something I genuinely love doing. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I have most nights and weekends available. I’m even willing to bring your dog along with me when possible so they have plenty of company and attention. Daytime availability Monday–Friday between 8am–5pm is more limited, but I’m willing to discuss options for check-ins in the Howard/Suamico area. I make sure each pet is well cared for, comfortable, and given plenty of attention while you’re away. Depending on the dog’s needs and your preferences, that can include walks, playtime outside, backyard exercise, or trips to the dog park if allowed. My goal is to keep them active, happy, and on a routine that feels familiar and stress-free.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for and working with dogs of all breeds and ages. I worked as a dog bather for a few years, where I gained experience handling and caring for a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve also walked friends’ dogs, giving me experience with different energy levels and personalities. I’m patient, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m excited to give your pets the same love and attention I would give my own! I have a flexible schedule since I run my personalized resin pet tag business from home. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine while still having time to dedicate my full attention to the pets I’m caring for. I enjoy spending my free time with animals, so pet care is a great fit for my lifestyle! I am currently only interested in dog walking and drop ins! During walks I will ensure your pet is safe and well cared for. I will take all the necessary measures to ensure your pet’s safety.
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’ve been caring for dogs since I was in high school, giving me over 20 years of hands-on experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m a lifelong animal lover and have also volunteered at the Humane Society, where I gained experience caring for and interacting with animals from many different backgrounds Pet care is already a regular part of my daily life. I have two dogs of my own and enjoy staying active with them. I’m happy to work with pet parents to provide walks and care that fit their pet’s normal routine. I’m dependable, flexible, and will make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship while they’re in my care. I understand how much trust it takes to put your pet in someone else’s care. I always follow the owner’s instructions and respect each pet’s individual routine, personality, and comfort level. I pay close attention during walks and visits and prioritize safety at all times. I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own.
About: Hello! My name is Kyra and I've grown up around furry, cute animals since day 1. My 6 childhood cats were named Jack, Smokey, Tigger, Boozy, Timmy & Simon. My 5 childhood dogs were named Gage, Diesel, Sadie, Marley & Sammy. My partner and I currently have 2 amazing cats named Mickey & Sylvan. As you can tell-- animals are always welcome with cuddles and love in my household! I've taught both kinds of pets how to be potty trained as well as simple tricks like shake and roll over. I work flexible hours/ work from home so I am ready to help you and your pet! I will be respectful of your space and any instructions given to make sure your furry BFF is well taken care of with me. :) I am available/ flexible on days and hours-- just give me a proper lead time so I can accommodate to our schedules! I have a car and can visit you anytime!
About: I graduated with a degree in animal science from the University of Wisconsin- River Falls in 2023. I've been dog/ cat sitting for years, I grew up with 2 family labs and I have trained 3 service dogs through a non-profit company down in Madison. Whether I'm hanging out with a high-energy pup or a senior dog who just wants a comfy spot and some company, I always adjust my care to match their needs. I am big on routine, clear communication and creating a calm, positive environment while you're away. Lastly and most importantly, I treat every dog like they're my own: with patience, respect, and plenty of love. I’m available for pet care during mornings and afternoons, with consistent availability throughout the week. While I don’t accommodate last-minute bookings, I’m happy to schedule in advance to ensure your pet gets the attention they need. Whether it’s a morning walk, a midday check-in, or afternoon playtime, I’ll work with you to create a routine that keeps your pet happy and comfortable. I specialize in caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure while you are gone. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I’m respectful of your space, keep things clean, and always provide regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet (and your home) are in good hands. My goal is to make your time away as smooth as possible—for both you and your furry family member

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hobart is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $16 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 569 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hobart. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hobart. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
