“Great communication and I could tell from what they were saying about Roger that he was well taken care of and they were truly spending time with him. Will definitely book them again!”

We will definitely be booking her services again in the future. Highly recommend Jody for all your pet sitting needs! 5 stars all the way!”

About: Hi, I’m Sara! 👋 Dogs have been my passion for over 12 years, and caring for them is one of my favorite things to do. Whether your pup is an energetic adventurer, a couch cuddle expert, or a senior who just wants a slow stroll and some extra love, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I owner-trained my own service dog, which taught me how to truly understand canine body language, behavior, and communication. I’m always paying attention to the little things—whether a dog is feeling playful, nervous, overstimulated, or just needs a little extra patience. I have extensive experience with bully breeds, am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and have experience safely managing crate-and-rotate households. I’m also confident administering medications and caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away and for you to have complete peace of mind. Expect plenty of photo updates, belly rubs (if they’re into that!), playtime, enrichment, and lots of one-on-one attention. I know how much trust it takes to leave your best friend with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! I do this full time since I was laid off last year. I have very open availability and time to dedicate to your fur babies! I make sure each client leaves detailed instructions for food, medication and any vet care needed. I’m ocd about having all the info I need to make your pet as comfortable as possible while you’re out of town.
About: Hello, my name is Kim! I am a former vet assistant, and current wildlife biologist with extended experience caring for critters of all kinds. I have worked in vet hospitals, kennels, as well as private homes caring for both cats, and dogs. I have extensive experience administering daily medications both oral, subdermal, and injectables like insulin I pride myself in making the process as stress free as possible which means treats, and pets. I'm also experienced in walking dogs of all shapes, sizes, and activity levels so no need to worry about you pup not getting enough exercise! I'm more then happy to take them out for a long hike with plenty of photo updates for you! I am currently only working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of you precious family members weather it be walking and exercising you dogs. Or entertaining your tiny feline overlord, preparing a feast for you reptilian regent, partying with your parrot I'm prepared for it all. With dogs I am more the happy to take them out on hikes as well as out things to places like private dogs parks to let them get all the sniffing and fetching out of their system. Before any pet sitting occurs I'd love to sit down and chat with you about your pet kids and what needs it is you would like for me to fulfill while you are gone to help keep everything as stress free as possible for both you and your pet. Along with more special needs if your pets need them like medication administration and the time frame of when it need to be administered, or things such as diet restrictions. If there are multiple pets in the household how feeding times go if pets are ok with being fed together or need to be separated or observed during feeding times.
About: Furbabies have been my best friends since childhood! From sitting for friends to taking care of my own, dogs and cats have always held a special place in my heart. I have house/pet sat for family and friends as well as worked at a dog daycare, so I am familiar with a variety of dog types and the care these animals need to be at their happiest! I’m currently working a very flexible part-time job, so I am able to spend plenty of time with all your furbabies! I am usually available anytime on Friday-Sundays and after 5pm on weekdays! I am always happy to pet sit and house sit overnight if needed! And am able to provide any and all kinds of walking/playing time. From being the personal driver to the park or just walking around your neighborhood, I will always bring forward a caring environment for your pet.
“Mateo was geear and professional to work with. He was able to come by multiple times a day to check up on Domino and provide him the care he needed! Would recommend to friends and family!”
About: Over the 10 past years, I have been able to build amazing bonds with my furry clients and their owners. I started pet sitting when I was 14 to show my mom responsibility and that I could take care of a dog on my own (it took 5 years to convince her btw). My mom agreed to it, and my classmate dropped off Leo, a 7 year old Shitzu, at my house and it was the best week of my summer break. Since then, I have cared for puppies as young as 8 weeks to seniors up to 17 years. I have been able to keep loyal and consistent clients because of my trust and honesty, but also because I am able to adapt to each pets different personality and energy. I have experience with all types of dog breeds from chihuahuas to pitbulls and yorkies to labradoodles, as well as cats since 2020! I treat every home with respect and every animal as if they were my own. My main goal is to keep them happy and in their normal routine for meals, walks, and medications, as well as providing peace of mind for owners. Message me with any questions or to set up a meet and greet 🐾 I'm currently in my last year of college and am on campus Monday - Wednesday. I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets and I'll be looking forward to having new study partners 🐶🐱 I ask about and respect boundaries they have for the home. I keep pets in their routine as close as possible. If a feeding or walk time interferes with a class, I communicate with owners to let them know. I like to ask questions and then schedule a meet and greet to make sure we are a good fit.
About: Dogs aren’t just my passion—they’ve been my way of life for as long as I can remember. Having raised and cared for breeds of all shapes and sizes, from tiny lap dogs to gentle giants, I understand that every pup has a unique personality and pace. As an active foster parent, I specialize in creating a calm, supportive, and safe environment tailored to your dog's exact needs. Whether your pup thrives on high-energy hikes, loves exploring neighborhood trails, or prefers gentle neighborhood strolls, I make sure every outing is safe, engaging, and thoroughly exhausting in the best way possible. When your dog stays with me, they get the full royal treatment. My home features a spacious, fully fenced yard for safe daily zoomies, alongside a comfortable, loving indoor setup where they can stretch out and relax like family. I’m currently building my full-time career around doing what I love most: providing top-tier care, safety, and endless belly rubs so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. i do currently work part time monday-friday so i am available for dog walks after 1pm and i am open friday after 1pm- sunday evening for any stay the nights i do have a fully fenced back yard, tons of room for fur babies to run. 3 fur babies of our own along with a senior cat. i have 2 senior fur babies along with a 4 year old that is great with both seniors and puppies.
About: I have a dog, 3 cats, 2 ferrets, and bearded dragon, who I love very much. I grew up taking care of all kinds of animals and have always had a passion for it. I love that every pet has its own quirky personality and would love to meet your baby! I am currently available full time which gives me plenty of time to care for your pet. I am available Mondays- Sundays, at all points in the day. I strive to make your baby as comfortable and happy as possible while you are away. I love to keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away and feel at peace about leaving your pet at home.
“Savannah is an absolute gem! She recently took care of our 3 pups and our home while we spent a week at the beach, and she went above and beyond! She made sure we were updated on how the pups were doing and actively looked for ways to help us around our home to make our return so much easier. Our pups were so happy when we came home, we could tell they received so much TLC. Highly recommend!”
About: I have 3 dogs of my own that I take care of on a daily basis ranging from 2 months old to 2 years old. I have an American Eskimo, Border Collie/Shih Tzu Mix, and Miniature Goldendoodle. I love playing with my dogs as well as taking them on walks throughout the neighborhood! I currently work in office and am available to drop by twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. I am typically at home enjoying my evening if I’m not at work! I can take your dog(s) on walks and/or dog parks. I can visit often to let them out to play in the backyard and to feed him/her.
“Joanna always does an amazing job! She is very good at keeping you updated and following all pet care directions. Somehow I also always come back to my home cleaner than I left it too. My cats genuinely seem comfy with her and I would 100% recommend her.”
“We never worry about Mysty when Kira is sitting for us. She takes care of Mysty and our home as if it is her own. We come home to a happy fur baby and the house is always as we left it. We would highly recommend Kira to anyone for the care of your fur babies!”
About: I dog sit, baby sit, and house sit consistently. I am a person who goes above and beyond for you and your family. I have experience with large and small dogs, along with cats. I work short hours, so I am flexible with the needs of you and your pets! Morning walk? Lunch time drop by? Overnight stay? I am flexible, let’s talk! I am hands on and glad to play with your pet and bathe when it applies! I can accommodate most needs including but not limited to: medication, bathing, bedtime needs, walks, etc. Communicate with me and we can achieve a happy stay for all of us! I do not board at my own home.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and loved every single one of them! I also worked at an animal clinic all through high school and college, so I’ve picked up a lot of experience reading dog and cat behavior and adjusting to each pet’s personality. I’m comfortable giving medication (including insulin shots), and I can help with baths or nail trims if needed. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away—whether we’re out for a walk, playing, or just hanging out for some cuddle time. I am available for pet sitting in your home, walks, and drop-ins after 6 pm on weekdays and anytime on the weekend. I can offer engaging play and 30+ minute walks, whatever you like. I offer bathing and toe nail clipping per request, or if your pet gets exceptionally dirty while you are gone (it happens!), I will bathe for free. Feeding and treats will be given per your instructions, and I will do whatever your pet needs to be comfortable while you’re away, so don’t be afraid to ask!
About: As a proud owner of three Golden Retrievers (ages 3 to 10), I understand the level of trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I’ve built that trust with family, friends, and repeat clients who rely on me for dependable, in-home care, walks, and check-ins. My experience ranges from puppies to senior dogs, and includes hands-on work at a boarding facility and volunteering at an animal shelter. As a full-time student, I have the flexibility to be fully present and attentive. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and your pet a safe, loving, and comfortable experience. As a full-time student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet your pet’s specific needs. Whether it’s consistent check-ins, extended stays, or extra playtime, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and never rushed. I provide care exclusively in your pet’s home, where they feel most safe and comfortable. I follow your routines closely, from feeding schedules to walks, medications, and any special instructions, to keep things consistent. I’m very respectful of your home and keep you updated with regular check-ins, photos, and communication. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for both your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Good Hope
Great sit with Abigail and Brayden! They arrived at the agreed time and followed all instructions regarding Enzo's care as well as our home and provided updates as requested. Returned to a very happy boy and house well cared for. You can tell they love animals and gave our boy plenty of undivided attention and play time. Highly recommend and will definitely use them again.
Nik was wonderful! We went away on a vacation and we are not sure if we had a better vacation or our pets did. He was attentive, played with them daily and gave them special tlc time. He sent pics and communicated with us so we were able to truly relax and enjoy ourselves. We will definitely use Nik and his lovely wife Shay who helped out. They are great people and were the perfect team/fit for our full house:)

The average cost of House Sitting in Good Hope is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $61 per night.

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 Good Hope 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 Good Hope 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 Good Hope 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Good Hope. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
