About: I have experience caring for all animals from their younger years to very senior. I’m comfortable handling an emergency situation if needed. Your pet will always be in safe, loving hands with me. The only day I can’t work is on tuesdays as I go into the office that day. Every other day is fair game! I’m available days or nights as needed. I spent two summers working as a vet tech assistant and learning how to handle emergency situations. Your pet would be in safe loving hands with me.
About: What sets me apart is my firsthand experience caring for a senior dog with special needs. My beloved dog lived to be 14 years old and required daily insulin injections, medications, and extra care as he became blind and developed canine dementia. Through it all, I learned patience, attentiveness, and the importance of understanding each pet's unique needs. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, and I will treat your pet with the same love, compassion, and attention that I gave my own. Whether your pet is young and energetic or a senior needing a little extra support, they will be cared for like family. Pet care fits naturally into my life because I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I also love being outdoors and enjoy taking walks, so your pet will get plenty of fresh air, exercise, and one-on-one time. After caring for my own beloved dog for 14 years, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I follow the owner's instructions closely to help pets feel comfortable and maintain their normal schedule. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications if needed, and providing plenty of attention and affection. Having cared for a senior dog with diabetes, blindness, and canine dementia, I am comfortable providing extra patience and care for pets with special needs. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their owner is away.

About: I’ve been a pet lover all my life. I was lucky enough to work in an Animal Hospital while I was in college and learned basic pet First Aid, and how to spot health issues with animals before they become a problem. I currently walk and pet sit dogs as small as 7lbs to my biggest client who is 135lbs. I’m semi retired and love spending time with animals, so walking and pet sitting has been great! I am flexible and have a good car that is reliable in all weather. I have two large pups at home ( Beau and Casey Jones), who stay home when I pet sit and walk dogs so that I can give my client’s pets my undivided attention.
About: I have been pet-sitting since I was about 11 or 12 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to feed, water, play with, pet, medicate, scoop, cuddle, brush, walk, and generally love their pets for decades, and I have enjoyed every moment of it! I have two cats and one dog myself, and would have many more pets if my property manager and my square footage allowed for it. I am a librarian by day, and a pet-sitter by night! My regular work schedule is Monday through Friday from 9-5, so I am available before and after work hours. I am also available anytime of the day or evening most weekends. I currently offer pet care in my clients' homes. I try to be very flexible with my clients and the needs of their pets. When I go away and rely on a pet-sitter to look after my fur babies, I always miss them terribly, which is why I send my clients and update on how their pets are doing during and/or after each visit, and I always take lots of pics and videos to share.
“Collette is the best. She responds quickly to requests and is always willing to help. She has taken such great care of our french bulldog and we would never hesitate to hire her again! She leaves great notes and pictures, especially when she thinks our pup is having an “off” day. You can tell she really enjoys working with pets.”
About: Welcome! I go by “Nancy!” 🐾🐈🦮 I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember and have had pets for over 25 years. Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life, not just a hobby. Over the years I’ve had different kinds of pets, and I currently have two budgies and a betta fish. I enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and earning their trust at their own pace. I’m naturally attentive and tend to notice when something seems off or when a pet needs a little extra patience and care. I understand how much pets mean to their families, and I would care for yours the same way I care for my own. Animals have always been a part of my life. I’m currently a student chaplain, a full-time mom to two girls, and a pet mom to two budgies and a betta fish. Caring for animals is already part of my daily routine, and in my free time, I’d love the opportunity to spend time with and care for other pets. While I’m new to this platform offering dog walking services, I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. 🐾 I treat every pet as if they were my own. I focus on safe, enjoyable walks, follow the owner’s instructions carefully, and make sure each pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they need. I also provide updates so owners know how their pet is doing.

About: Hi there! My name is Sam and I am a dog lover looking for more dogs to love on. My husband Eric and I have a very sleepy Pyrenees who we are always looking to introduce to more friends! I love getting to hang with all types of dogs whether it’s walking, playing, or having them stay with us. I’ve cared for elderly dogs, puppies, and everything in between for the last 10 years. Can’t wait to meet you soon! Since covid, I am work from home most of the day and would love an extra furry friend or two to get me out of the house.

About: I first discovered my passion for animal care in fifth grade when I brought home and later adopted my class pet, Spot, an anole lizard who remained with our family for two years. Since then, I have continued developing hands-on experience caring for animals, including working with reactive dogs. During the pandemic, my family adopted our dog Henry, and through that experience I gained valuable insight into supporting dogs with anxiety and learning effective, patient approaches to behavioral management. I currently have full availability for the summer and am flexible in accommodating a wide range of pet care needs, including daytime, evening, and weekend care. I prioritize clear and consistent communication with pet owners to ensure I fully understand each pet’s individual needs and routine. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care and make sure every pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving the highest quality care possible.

Perla kept nervous and super sweet bully breed for several nights, She treated him like one of the family, gave him lots of cuddles, and had him calm and snuggled up in no time. Her home is very peaceful, loving and quiet, and she has lots of nice outdoor areas for walks. She also had great communication and sent me lots of updates. Highly recommended!!! My boy will be back soon!!!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
To find sitters in South Hamilton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
