“Jessica was pleasant, punctual and great with our Bella! Our dog has anxiety and is not the friendliest around people she doesn’t know. But Jessica did what I suggested and was able to have our dog feel comfortable with her and even alerted us about a situation in our house ! I definitely highly recommend her !”
“We’re always a but worried leaving our furry friends behind when we travel. But Jessica kept our worries at bay, and did an excellent job looking after our kitties! She provided updates each day and was even able to get our shy kitties to open up to her! We’ll definitely book again and are so grateful for all of her help!”

About: My name is Victoria and I have a wide range of experience caring for animals. Being a pet owner myself, I know what others are looking for while leaving their loved ones in the hands of others. Throughout my time looking after pets my duties have been; walking, feeding, boarding, giving pets with Diabetes their injection of insulin, giving animals their daily medications (both liquid and pills) and just about anything else you can think of! I have taken care of 6 month old puppies to 17 year old dogs of all different breeds and disabilities. I don't view animals as pets but as members of a family. When your pet is with me, they will be treated like royalty!

Animals are allowed on the couch and beds! Along with walks, there is a dog play area where I live to keep your pet(s) entertained and happy! Please note I do have a very friendly dog at my home (he loves all animals!) so if your pet is boarded my dog will be present. I would also like to add a note that if you are requesting house sitting services, I usually take my dog with me for the nights unless requested otherwise.

About: I am a full-time (remote) student at UMass and dog-sitter extraordinaire! I have a lot of scheduling flexibility and I don’t mind last minute bookings. Try me. I am a student and I study remotely so have the flexibility to accommodate daily visits & drop-ins for walks, feeding/potty breaks, playtime or overnight stays. Familiarity and routine are important for your pet in your absence. I prefer to come to your pet in their home for play, feeding, walks etc. so they won’t suffer unnecessary anxiety or stress from an unfamiliar environment, whether it be for drop-ins or overnight stays.
“Kaitlin was great with our two boys! They really enjoyed her dropping in! She made sure Bruno got some play time while our older dog Bundy got to enjoy the sun. She was very responsive and made sure to give us an update. Thank you so much !”

“Laney was FANTASTIC to work with! She was very responsive, and flexible, and sent me pictures of my dog happy and cared for which really brightened my day! I would 100% hire her again- and hope to! :)”

About: I grew up with dogs and animals around me so would love to continue being around them. Life is boring without them, in our world. I work full time and go to school during the week would love to help people out during the weekend and maybe even weekdays if there is that relationship. I currently am not offering pet sitting at my house because my Roomate is allergic but I can come to the dogs home and care for them.

About: I have a weiner dog named Benny whom I raised and trained since he was a puppy. I’ve cared for puppies post-neuter/spay surgery as well as walking and caring for injured dogs. I have experience administering medication to dogs and cats. I’ve housesat for friends to care for their cats and have lived with and cared for a cat for over 3 years. I love animals and I’m passionate about their well-being and quality of life. I know every animal is unique, and needs to be approached with that in mind. I’m currently working part time in the evenings for a couple hours so I have early morning to late afternoon available. I also have availability on weekends. I’ve spent time with many different kinds of pets and I feel confident that after spending a little time with yours, I’ll understand how they want to be approached and cared for. I raised my dog since he was a puppy and took part in his training so I feel confident with dogs of any age. I’ve spent many years around cats and know their mannerisms and the quiet language that they use to communicate. I’m meticulous and careful when walking dogs since I raised mine in NYC; I understand how to keep their attention and be firm when necessary to keep them safe and attentive on their walks. I want you to come home to a pet that is happy and healthy, above all.
About: I have loved dogs my whole life but have never had one of my own. Because of this, I’ve become the go-to guy for all my friends’ dogsitting needs. I spent 2020 as a professional dog walker in Boston and fine tuned my skills at handling multiple dogs at a time. I have picked up training skills and also enjoy taking photos of my furry friends! Additionally, I have cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Every dog is different in how much attention or exercise they need and I’m always ready to adapt to best take care of them. I love getting to know dogs and their unique personalities and I hope I can get to know yours too! While I may be a dog person, I love all animals and have met my share of cool cats so please consider me to care for all kinds of fur babies. I’m currently caring for two golden doodles, Muffin & Brandy, for the summer. If you ask them, we have a great routine of food, sleep and play! I know every pet has specific needs and I am always looking to meet those so they can live their best lives. I’m capable of handling dogs with high energy levels or chill out with kitties that just want to snooze. I’m always vigilant as well since I know our pals can sometimes be sneaky.
About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and have grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. I currently have two dogs of my own and am very comfortable with all types of personalities—from energetic pups to shy or reactive dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. I have hands-on experience with reactive dogs and am very mindful of their body language, boundaries, and routines to help them feel safe and secure. I also cared for my senior dog Toni for 17 years, so I’m experienced with medication administration and providing attentive, gentle care for older pets. I truly enjoy building trust with animals and creating a calm, positive environment for them. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and will always follow your pet’s routine closely so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. I’d love to help with walks, drop-ins, or sitting and treat your pets like part of my own family! I’m a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a very flexible and consistent schedule throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting during both weekdays and weekends, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests. Because I’m home-based, I’m able to be very attentive and stick closely to your pet’s routine, making sure they get timely walks, meals, and attention. I provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their own environment and routine. I’m very respectful of both your pet and your space, and I always aim to keep things calm, clean, and consistent while you’re away. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and individual needs, whether your pet is energetic, shy, or reactive. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific routines, so your pet feels safe and secure. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

Brooke was great! She was on time (with treats in hand) and did a great job with walking, playing with and taking care of my golden retriever puppy so I could take a work call. Charlie was pooped and went right down for a nap after. So helpful for those that work from home!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in South Hamilton is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $51 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 9,125 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across South Hamilton. 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.
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 South Hamilton 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 .
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.
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 .
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.

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.
