About: As a dedicated pre-vet student, I bring 10 years of personal experience as a dog owner and hands-on training through my vet club. My passion for animal care goes beyond basic pet sitting—I’ve provided trusted care for friends’ and family’s pets, gaining real-world experience. I’ve also worked at a veterinary clinic as a veterinary assistant, where I helped care for dogs and cats, further building my skills in handling, health monitoring, and patient care. Winning 1st place in the state for veterinary science at HOSA showcases my deep knowledge and commitment to animal well-being. With me, your pet receives not just companionship, but expert-level attention and care. As a college student, I balance classes with a flexible schedule that allows plenty of time for pet care. I’m available for walks in the early afternoon and evenings, along with play breaks and quality time to keep pets active, happy, and loved. Even with my studies, I make sure your pet receives my full attention and care. I care for pets by following a consistent routine with walks, playtime, and attention. I’d do the same in a client’s home, making sure their pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.

We understand the reinforcement and patience needed for puppy behavior, and can continue any routines you have in place.

Available for multiple visits a day for up to an hour each! We are great with routines and will make sure to ask all the questions needed to keep your loved pet safe and comfortable. We are calm with nervous dogs and patient with all!

We truly appreciate the love and attention they showed and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them would absolutely book drop-in visits with Kate & Chris again”

About: I’ve spent years caring for both cats and dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s energetic pups that love long walks or independent cats that just need some company, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with feeding routines, administering medication, cleaning up after pets, and providing lots of love, playtime, and cuddles. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own (Rigby, my senior cavapoo, and Dante, my 1-year old black cat, would attest if they could)! Whether you're heading out of town or just need a helping hand, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work part time until mid-May, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet! Please DM for specific hours, as they will vary slightly! When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I always treat their space and routines with the utmost respect. I do my best to stick closely to your pet’s usual schedule, whether that’s feeding times, walks, play, or quiet time. I follow all instructions carefully and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I keep things clean, communicate regularly with updates and photos, and always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both you and your pet, keeping everything as normal and familiar as possible.

About: I’m an experienced pet owner for both dogs and cats. I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want for my own.

I’m happy to coordinate specific times that work best for you and your pet‘s routine.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hudson on Rover is $14 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $14 per visit. 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 381 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hudson. 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 Hudson. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.
