“Heather was absolutely amazing! Our senior cat recently started on insulin shots twice a day and we were nervous about leaving him. We were put at ease as soon as we met Heather. She came twice a day promptly at the times he needed his meds and cared for him as if he was her own pet! We got updates and photos at each visit and it seems like our old kitty fell into a nice, relaxed routine with her😊. She did an amazing job keeping his days as “normal” as possible for him and she went way above and beyond keeping his entire space (and ours) tidy. I wouldn’t hesitate for a minute to use Heather’s services again when we travel. I felt very comfortable having her in my home and with my pet. Thank you!”
About: I'm good with all animals. I've just always clicked with our little furry friends. No dog is too big and no cat is too spicy. I'm logical, fun, and love playing with animals. I'm currently in a tough job market as AI is really taking over a lot of the software world. I'd love to make a little side hustle money while taking care of our furry friends. I think the most important thing is I treat all animals with love and respect. And I'm not looking to mess up any routines you guys have set. I will execute them for the letter.
“Isabell was great with my cats while my husband and I were away. I was worried because i have a cat that needs more love and can be a bit much out of the 4, but they were all very happy!”
“Gena is amazing. She has been extremely reliable both times I was in need of drop-ins for my two cats. The most recent being extremely short notice, I was able to count on her and she was flexible. As I plan future trips, she will always be my first contact because I know Larry & Louis are cared for well. For anyone looking to book requests, scroll no longer. Gena has set the bar pretty high. Thankful to have found her on here!”
About: Hello! I am 25 years old with a ton of animal experience. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, and for the most part have trained my families dogs. I went to High school at Norfolk Agricultural High School and was a Veterinary Major there. My High School gave me the opportunity to meet, handle, groom, and train dogs that were not my own. I was also in a 4H club at Natick Organic Farm in which I took care of the live stock that lived there. I have always been the go to dog sitter for my extended family. Due to this I also had to handle dogs of all different sizes and temperaments. I am currently working on becoming an Airline pilot so my days are very wide open and can be manipulated to better suit the care for your pets. I am familiar with most dog training tools. Depending on what is best for your dog I am comfortable using and have been trained to use. I also understand that every dog has different needs.
“It was my first time using Rover and to have Jessica as my first sitter was truly the most amazing experience. She was very professional and kind. She paid attention and remembered the things I said. I pointed to the litter manual just in case she needed it but no she READ the whole thing to be prepared. That was just ONE of the many things she did to go above and beyond. The pictures and descriptions she sent made me feel at peace and that my cat was loved and cared for like it was her own. She always showed up even earlier at times, was very detailed with the descriptions of the visits, and took lots of pictures. We had an incident where the fire alarm was going off because of the low battery, I got so nervous my friend had to be the one that texted for me but Jessica acted promptly to handle the situation and made me feel at peace that my cat was doing okay afterwards. Definitely re-booking her every time if she’s available she’s truly great and I can’t recommend her enough ❤️”
About: I'm the go to girl for washing up our puppers, and even climbing in the tub just to set them at ease. I go the extra mile to make sure animals are comfortable and happy. I currently have all the freedom to play with your pup, walk them, and care for their needs. So please fill my calendar with puppy play dates! I would like to fully understand the routine the client has for their pet prior to make sure it does not get disrupted and allows the pup to stay at ease.
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog sitter who truly loves spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your pup company while you’re away, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. i just joined Rover, but I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience volunteering and caring for animals, so I understand how important routine, attention, and trust are when it comes to pet care. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with patience, structure, and lots of affection. I work full time during the week, but I always make time in my schedule to provide reliable care for pets. I plan ahead to ensure I can give each dog the attention, walks, and care they need, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends. I’m committed to being dependable and making sure your dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow all feeding instructions, walk schedules, and any special care needs, including medications if required. I also make sure to give plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so the pet doesn’t feel alone while their owner is away. I treat each home with respect and keep everything clean and tidy, and I always provide updates with photos so owners can feel confident their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner.
“Lindsay stopped by to visit my cat while I was in England. She brought her daughter with her, which was great- to give the cat some more attention. Professional, communicative, and on time. Thanks, Lindsay”
About: I have experience caring for all different types of animals, ages, and medical knowledge. Growing up I learned how to take care of horses, equine medicine, rehabilitation, and overall animal body language. I’ve always had dogs of different breeds (huskies, Akita/Shephard mix, corgi, pit bull/cattle dog) so I am very familiar with different needs, energy levels, and breed characteristics. I’ve had various different animals such as cats and Guinea pigs and truly call myself an animal lover. I am fully capable of handling all different sizes and dogs in various stages of their training. I am capable of keeping up with a puppy or a senior who needs special care. I am your all around sitter. I am currently attending MCPHS full time for dental hygiene so I will be attending classes during the day. I am able to provide care before I leave for classes, and after during the afternoon or evening depending on the day. I am around full time on the weekends to provide undivided attention and during school breaks/holidays. I understand how important it is to follow detailed instructions, I am very conscientious of medical needs, taking proper care of your home as if it were my own, taking care of your dog as if it were my own, and always being responsible and diligent about what training and behavioral needs/weather sensitivities your dog may have.
About: I have had cats and dogs in my life since the age of 6. I have raised two dogs from puppies, and have a lot of experience with older dogs as my friends and family prefer to adopt. I previously fostered a Lab-Pitbull, and currently have a Pomeranian, so I have plenty of experience with dogs of all sizes. I am currently available any day of the week from 1:30pm on. I work from home, so overnight or extended stays are no issue for me! I have a big fenced in yard where dogs can run and play, and I live in a quiet neighborhood that is great for dog walks. I am available on-call to take dogs for walks in their own neighborhoods as well! I love to play fetch and give some of the best scritches in town (just ask my dog) :)
“Kelsey is awesome! She took amazing care of our two shy kitties while we were away. Highly recommend Kelsey for anyone looking for a wonderful person to keep an eye on your fur babies when you are away.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was born. I have experience with senior and diabetic dogs, have given many different medications, and have a walking path right by my apartment that I can take your dog to play! I'm a teacher so I have lots of time after school and on weekends! I work in a school, so I can watch dogs or cats after 3. I can take care of your dogs at your home or take them on walks! I have many walking trails right behind my apartment that I would love to explore with your animals! I have cats who are good with dogs and other cats and will keep your animals entertained!
About: I have both the education and the experience to take excellent care of your pet! I have a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, but more importantly I have the lifelong love and experience for pet care. I have taken care of a wide variety of animals, including but not limited to dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, and fish. I have had a dog at home for my entire life, and I have personally kept reptiles and fish as pets. I am able to administer medication as needed or other medical tasks like cleaning ears or wounds. I would love to meet your pet and give them the best experience while you’re away. My schedule is currently open to whatever your needs are! I would love to take on some drop-ins or get outside with your pup and stretch our legs! I have a secured runner in my backyard, and I can confidently restrain and crate pets as needed in the home or on walks. I want to make sure that I keep your critter safe and healthy while they’re in my care.
About: I have been a certified trainer for almost 2 decades and love changing the behavior of dogs. I can train, walk, and pop in to help your pup when life takes over and you can't be there. I will also give your furry family member the luxury of staying home while you are away. I'm also a pet cpr/first aid instructor if you and your neighbors would like to get together and learn cpr/first aid. I am 100% all dog all day. Whatever your needs are we can discuss them. I am new to this area and am excited to work with some new pups and their owners! I like to stick to your routine when you are away. I can also walk and train your pup if they need a little help.
“Rachel was prompt, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful, even wiping our dog’s paws after a snowy walk. Highly recommend and would happily book again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hopedale
We are so happy we booked with Kerry! It was wonderful getting to meet her during our meet and greet, and we felt comfortable leaving our Labrador Retriever, Enzo, in her care. My husband and I were away for two days, and Kerry provided drop-in visits that included walks, feeding, playtime in the backyard, fresh water, and lots of great company for Enzo while we were away. She was so attentive and responsive throughout our time away and kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell Enzo was happy and well cared for, and we truly appreciated how thoughtful and reliable Kerry was. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pets like their own! 🐾❤️

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.

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 Hopedale 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.

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.
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. 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.
