“Jeffery came for a drop by visit on short notice and did a wonderful job making Rio feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend him and will certainly be requesting his services again.”
“Jeanne is the best! Our dogs adore her and she goes above and beyond. She send us updates and the best photo updates of the dogs. They have so much fun. Would definitely use her again!”
About: I've been taking care of animals since I was very young. Fur babies seem to seek me out, whether it is in nature or encounters on the street; you can catch me waving at animals before humans (lol). I've had dogs, cats, a horse, and bunnies off and on throughout my life. I just lost my bunny George, so finding Rover is the perfect opportunity to get some fur baby time in to help mourn my little love 🥲 Im excited to love on your babies if you'll have me 🫶 I'm currently very flexible with my time as I make my own hours. I would like to fill my time with fur babies as much as possible :) I will follow any instruction you have regarding your home and your furry companions. Safety and trust are important to me and I want to make sure you know your animals are loved by me too.
“Noah was amazing with my foster pup- Daisy! She came from a tough situation and Noah took great care of her while we were away. Would definitely recommend and rebook again!”
About: Ever since I was little I have loved animals. Recently I’ve been helping walk dogs at a local rescue. I have two dogs of my own that I take care of. I’ve taught one of them a few basic commands like sit and stay. Currently I work in the mornings and go to school in the afternoons. Monday-Friday I would be available after 4pm. On the weekends I would be available throughout the day. In my own home the dogs get let out every couple of hours and 2 walks per day. I would be flexible depending on how the owner wanted things scheduled though.
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 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 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. 🐾
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!
“Allison has come 2 times now to take care of our 4 pets. She has been amazing! I have anxiety about leaving my animals and I feel at ease while she is there. She leaves such great detailed information about the visits and she takes great care in watching our animals. I am hoping she is always around to watch our animals!”
About: I have vast experience taking care of loved one’s dogs, and can’t wait to use that experience to give the same care and attention to your four legged friend! I work part-time so I’m looking for a more part-time role. I work in the afternoons, so my mornings are free for your furry friends. Let me know what works for you! I will work to keep your pet safe on all of the walks that I take them on. I stay alert and vigilante when walking my loved ones dogs and will do the same with yours.
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: 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

I will be out of the green bay area mondays and tuesdays for school, but am around most of the week otherwise! I will make sure that the animals are comfortable and get the best care that they can.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hobart is $16 per visit as of October 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 October 2026, there are 575 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 .
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 , 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
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
