“An excellent dog sitter who is responsive, attentive, easy to communicate with, and most importantly, great with our dogs! Jonathan took great care of our pups and our condo while we were away for about 4 days. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Lauren was a wonderful house sitter! She kept me updated with plenty of photos and short summaries of what my pets were up to each day. I didn’t have to worry at all that my pets were well taken care of during my vacation! I came home to a clean house and happy animals. I would definitely book with Lauren again!”
“Lauren was fantastic with Atlas. She was also very communicative with pics, updates, and asking questions when he got anxious about a party next door and how to best support him. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Jesse did great with Montana while we were away. Montana needs a little extra attention and they clearly got along well. Great to know we can get away with someone like Jesse taking care of our little girl!”
“We came back to a clean house and happy dogs, which is difficult because Coco is never happy with anyone. :) Coco must have had an especially good time, because she was in a very good mood. And my old lady, Maya, looked well cared for and clean, which is tough given her incontinence problems. The house looked well cared for as well. Meredith herself was extremely professional and responsive! I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Vanessa took wonderful care of my dog Riley including spending time cuddling, going on walks every day, and sending photos and updates to give me peace of mind. We are definitely looking forward to having Vanessa watch our pets again in the future!”
“Jennifer was wonderful! She was very attentive, communicative, and took great care of our three boys while we were away. She sent tons of photos and made sure to keep us updated, which was very appreciated. We would definitely recommend!!”
“Katie was amazing. She initiated a meet and greet! She stayed at my home watching my beloved puppy Alabaster. She kept me updated all throughout the time with pictures and updates. When I returned my puppy was more calm when I returned than when I left. I will absolutely have Katie watch Alabaster again.”
“Sam was an amazing sitter for our 3 dogs and they loved her company so much. She watched the dogs while we had to travel far for a concert and she kept them loved and entertained until we returned. She is kind, sweet and clearly loves our dogs. She updated us with photos and kept us up to date frequently. We will hire her again without question!”
“We couldn’t say enough great things about Matt! He was beyond awesome. Not only did he take great care of our pups, communicate every step of the way but he also helped do some odds and ends around the house. We would highly recommend using Matt for your pup needs!”
“Halla did an amazing job with our babies. This was a last minute booking with a day added. I was so scared to leve the house and our fur babies with someon we didnt know. Once we met Halla we felt so comfortable. We appreciate her flexibility and I know the animals felt the same way. We have an older dog with a younger 2 year old and a cat. She did great with them all. We will be using her again for future bookings.”
“Jacklyn took great care of our two young (3mo and 1.5yr old), energetic pups! She made sure they got the exercise & enrichment they needed, as well as the calm, rest time. She left the house in perfect condition, and we came home to two happy, healthy girls!”
“Maria was amazing! This was our first time using Rover, and Maria was so accommodating with a last minute request to watch our dog, Zolie. We felt so comfortable leaving her with Maria as she has experience with reactive dogs. We would definitely love to work with her again!”
“On time and very communicative! She was very attentive and let us know when one of the dogs got sick. Our boys loved hanging out with Branka for the day and would love to play with her again!”
“Emma was a great dog sitter. She was both communicative and diligent in sending updates. The dogs were happy and well taken care of when we got back. Emma was also very flexible and understanding about logistical challenges that came up with travel and willing to accommodate where she could. I would definitely rebook Emma again for our next trip.”
“Jessica is a dog-whisperer! Our dog Timba immediately fell in love with her. Jessica looked after our two "shell-shocked" dogs with love and care. They have recently been transplanted from abroad and have had a hard time living in a more "socialized"environment. Jessica's dog expertise offered them a calming caretaker and allowed them to settle into a new relationship over a couple of days. We are very happy to have found Jessica and highly recommend her.”
“We had a great experience leaving our dogs, cat, and home in Annie's care! She was communicative and shared lots of photos but also gave us the freedom to enjoy our time away. The animals seemed to enjoy their time with her and the house was in great shape when we came home. Really all you can ask for! We look forward to using Annie's services again in the future.”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Hamilton
Jennifer was so wonderful with our dog and cat. Our dog is older and had a respiratory infection so she gave her necessary medicine and checked in with us with pictures and updates. We felt very comfortable leaving them in her care and having her stay at our house. Both my dog and cat were well cared for and so happy being with her. We highly recommend Jennifer as a kind and trustworthy pet sitter!
We are very happy with the care Bella provided for Sonny when she spent the day/evening at our home. She genuinely loves dogs & quickly formed a bond with our little guy. We have already booked Bella for another stay and will continue to depend on her kind, loving & responsible pet care services!
We had a fantastic experience with Leah! She stayed in our home to watch our pup, Candy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Leah was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, providing frequent updates that gave us total peace of mind. Candy was well-cared for and clearly happy, and we returned home to find everything in perfect order. It’s such a relief to find someone who treats both your pet and your home with such care and respect. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - South Hamilton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Hamilton on Rover is $76.2 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 5,838 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Hamilton. 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 South Hamilton 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 South Hamilton 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 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!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
