“Brady doesn’t warm up to new people easily, so Amy had quite a challenge from the start. She was incredibly patient, and kept us updated with frequent pictures, which gave us peace of mind. She took Brady on several walks to help calm his nerves. I felt comfortable knowing Brady was in her care, and I’ve already booked Amy again in November. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced pet sitter.”
“I was hesitant to have a near stranger stay with my fur babies for 6 days (including overnights) and am beyond thrilled with my experience with Lisa! She came twice to meet/visit before my trip and I knew she right away she was “Good People”! I received updates, photos and videos everyday. I would give her a hundred stars if I could! Thank you to Lisa (& Rover) 🐾”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs almost my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am! For the past 5 years, I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family, giving me experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies who need extra attention and playtime to sweet senior dogs who need a little more patience and care, I love them all! I also have a big dog back home named Hank, so large breeds definitely don’t intimidate me! Whether your pet is big or small, young or old, I’m happy to give them all the love and attention they deserve. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your furry family members just like they’re my own! I am a full time student but my class schedule is flexible and gives me plenty of time for visits and time to take care of your pups multiple times throughout the day. One of my biggest priorities when caring for your pets is making sure they feel as comfortable, relaxed, and loved as possible! I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always do my best to match the energy and environment they’re used to at home. Whether that means lots of playtime, long walks, extra cuddles, or simply having someone there to keep them company, I’m happy to do whatever makes them feel most at ease! I understand that being away from their owners can sometimes be stressful for pets, so I want to be a familiar, comforting presence they can count on. My goal is to keep their routines as normal as possible and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for every step of the way.
About: Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover with 13+ years of hands-on pet care experience, and I truly love what I do. Whether your pet is playful, shy, senior, or needs a little extra TLC, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ve worked with animals in veterinary and grooming environments, so I’m comfortable in many pet care scenarios, including administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and helping maintain coats with brushing or basic grooming. I also have a special place in my heart for senior pets and anxious animals. I’m patient, gentle, and happy to move at their pace—whether that means slow walks, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to their normal routine. Got a high-energy pup? Perfect. I’m an active person who loves long walks, playtime, and outdoor exercise. Got a couch-loving senior? I’m just as happy providing calm company and lots of affection. 🐾What you can expect from me:🐾 • 13+ years of pet care experience • Veterinary medicine & grooming background • Comfortable administering medications • Experienced with senior pets & anxious animals • Active sitter who loves walks and playtime • Flexible schedule for reliable care I treat every pet like family and always aim to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! 🐶🐱
“Hannah stayed in my home with my dog and cat while my husband and I were on vacation for a week. I have nothing but good things to say! Hannah was so sweet and took excellent care of my babies and my home! She was very communicative and sent me several updates per day. I trusted her with my babies and I could tell they were so happy and relaxed in her care! We will definitely work with her again in the future!”
About: I’ve had animals since I was a little girl. I know how to make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of. I’m very patient and kind with animals, and will treat them like they’re my own! They would be in great hands while under my care! I work a full time 8am-5pm job, Monday through Friday. That gives me ample time to take care of them in the mornings and afternoons. I live in a smoke free apartment, with a dog park that I’d take them for daily walks! The community is great and most residents have friendly furry companions!
“I can’t say enough great things about Laura. I couldn’t be happier with her sitting with my two pups during the holiday weekend. She went above and beyond to make my pups and myself comfortable. Laura sent frequent updates, always kept me informed . And my pups loved her!! I will use Laura for all my sitting needs. She is the best beyond happy .”
About: Hi there! I’m Z, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a deep understanding of both cats and dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs and have a wonderful cat of my own. I also have years of experience caring for the pets of both my family and friends. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or ensuring your pet sticks to their routine, I treat every furry friend like they’re part of my own family. As someone who works part-time during the day, I have the flexibility to provide pet care in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. My schedule allows me to plan drop-in visits, walks, or playtime around your pet’s needs. Caring for animals is a natural part of my routine since I already care for my own cat. Whether it’s an early-morning visit before work or evening cuddles, I’m happy to adapt to ensure your pet feels loved and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and happy in their familiar surroundings. I stick to their established routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime, or walks, to keep things consistent and comforting for them. For dogs, that might mean exciting walks or outdoor play, while cats might prefer quiet companionship or engaging with their favorite toys. I make sure their environment stays clean and safe, and I’m happy to administer medications or meet any special needs. Along with meeting their physical needs, I give plenty of cuddles and attention to help them feel secure and loved. I treat every pet like part of my own family, ensuring they’re well cared for until their owner returns.
About: I have had my doggy since I was 17! She has been with me through a lot! I love animals and enjoy meeting new ones and bonding with them! Sometimes I have a really flexible schedule and can work with whatever your schedule needs may be. My schedule can change from week to week. So it’s best to reach out. I typically am free most days during the day. Late nights can be arranged. Child free home. I have 1 dog and 1 cat. The cat will be separate from other animals. She likes to stay in her space.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hookerton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 230 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hookerton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Hookerton walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Hookerton maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Hookerton 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
