“Absolutely no complaints! My dog is a bit... special. He is a 100lb German Shepherd who has high energy, doesn't know his size, and has some special needs. Breanna was able to give him his meds with no problem and handle his quirks. Will definitely use her again!”
“Jenna was terrific with my two Golden Retriever dogs, taking them for walks, feeding them and playing with them. They seemed very sad to see her leave after two days. Will definitely reach out again when they need sitting.”
About: I've spent more than 5 years as a licensed pet groomer, building strong relationships with dogs and their owners. I'm certified through the National Dog Groomers of America and skilled in full grooming, bathing, and nail care for all breeds. I take time to learn each dog's unique personality so they feel safe and comfortable in my care. Happy to provide house-sitting with the added benefit of professional grooming experience. I know that pet care needs don’t always follow a schedule, which is why I offer flexible availability, including weekends and holidays. I’m happy to consider last-minute requests whenever my schedule and travel distance allow. My goal is to make finding reliable care for your pets as easy and stress-free as possible! N/A to my household. More focused on home ownerships rules and in case of emergency I would have instructions to contact the owners veterinary clinic and depending on the situation I am certificated in K9 CPR.
About: Animal wellbeing has been a passion of mine since a young age. I started pet sitting and dog walking (individual and pack walks) in 2017. For me, it's easy to treat other people's pets like my own! I use Rover for my own pets, so I know firsthand how crucial excellent and reliable pet care is for our fury family members. Fear free certified since 2022 I’m available for walks and drop ins 7 days a week and boarding from Friday evenings through Sunday nights. Feel free to reach out with specific dates/times! I love visiting pets in their home because so many are comfier staying in their own space while they wait for their humans to return. I know firsthand how important a predictable routine is for our pets.
About: Lifelong animal lover and wildlife rescuer, here for you and your pets About: I've cared for animals my whole life: dogs, cats, birds, lizards, and fish. I'm the person friends, family, and neighbors call when they need someone they trust with their pets, for walks, feeding, playtime, or just good company. I'm also the one who stops for hurt wildlife and brings them to the Tufts wildlife rehab clinic, so I stay calm in unexpected situations and I'm comfortable with animals of every temperament. I have a flexible daytime schedule, which means I'm available for weekday walks, drop-in visits, and day care. Your pet gets real attention plus plenty of updates and photos while you're away. I treat every animal like my own. I have a large yard where dogs get plenty of supervised outdoor time, plus a dog park just a 3-minute walk away for extra play and socializing. Dogs are never left unattended outside, and I keep a close eye on every pup in my care.
“Our dogs had such a wonderful time with Marina! They got so much cuddle time, which they adored. The pictures and videos of them made it so much easier to be away. When we have to go out of town in the future, we will definitely ask Marina to dog sit!”

“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful with our dog! ❤️ She was so loving, caring, and attentive, and we could tell right away that he was in great hands. She did an amazing job keeping up with his usual routine and schedule, including his meds and she made sure to spend some time playing with him and giving him attention. We really appreciated how regularly she shared updates with us, and we especially loved receiving all the pictures—it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, our dog was so happy and comfortable with Stephanie! It was clear that he truly enjoyed spending time with her. We would definitely recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. Highly recommended! 🐾❤️”
“Bianca & Elizabeth did a wonderful job house sitting my two very senior dogs. They both required administering medications as well as specialized care being seniors. It was evident that Bianca & Elizabeth had experience with dogs and felt comfortable caring for them. Both of my dogs immediately took to Bianca & Elizabeth during our first meet and greet. Bianca was also very responsive with communication and sent pictures with updates during our time away which was greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend them for any type of pet care, and will be booking again for our next trip.”
“Marie is the best! Our dogs had a wonderful time with her and we felt so safe having them in her care. Marie is an excellent communicator and tended to our home, garden, and two dogs beautifully. We can’t wait to have her back!”
“Madonna was amazing! She communicated well, she was flexible as we had some work going on in the yard, and she was great with the dogs. The dogs love her! I will hope I’m lucky enough to ba e Madonna house sit again.”
“Elated to have found Paulette. Meet and greet showed us a kind, warm person and our pets were instantly comfortable with her. Regular updates while we were away helped ease our anxiety and Paulette was kind enough to send photos on request when we were missing our babies. Came back to a clean house and very happy and content fur babies. Looking forward to our next booking.”
“Nora is great! She came by to meet Mac ahead of booking and we could tell she had a really kind energy. We felt comfortable leaving him in her care while we were away for the weekend. She kept us updated and even drew us a wonderful picture of him.”
About: Volunteer at the Hotel for Homeless dogs for 4 years now. Lifetime pet owner with much experience. No age, size, or breed I would not care for. Currently Radiology student at CCRI. Set to graduate in May 2027. Take my responsibilities and duties very seriously. I would treat your animals like they were my own. I have my own vehicle and means of transportation. Whether it’s a drop in visit, walking or sitting I will make sure to tend to their needs.
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.
“Nyah was absolutely wonderful with Nelly! She was incredibly kind, reliable, communicative, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing Nelly was in good hands while I was away. She kept me updated and clearly gave Nelly plenty of attention and care, which means a lot to me. Nelly was happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I got home, and that’s really all I could ask for in a sitter. I would absolutely trust Nyah with her again and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her in the future. Highly recommend!”

Stephanie helped us out in a jam when our long term pet sitter did not feel comfortable with giving a pill by hand in the mouth of our cat every other day. Stephanie felt comfortable with doing this and made friends with the 2 cats quickly. She watched them overnight for a 9-day trip. She is conscientious. I plan on hiring her again.
Dusti Lee is one of the best dog sitters a dog mom has ever dreamed of. Ollie was in good hands while I was on the longest trip away from my little guy. He was well cared for, and I received several photos that put many of my worries to rest. So thankful we found this gem. Thank you, Dusti Lee!! From Ollie and Emmaline

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hopedale is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $50 per night. 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.

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 Hopedale 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 Hopedale 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 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!
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.

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.
