“This was our first time using a pet sitting service and it was absolutely amazing! Aniyah is so sweet and kind and she treated our Kingston like her own from the very first time of meeting him. Aniyah sent us pictures and updates throughout the whole stay which made us feel so relieved and comfortable knowing our boy was being well looked after. If you're looking for a dog sitter we highly recommend Aniyah, she was the best!!”
“Jasmine has taken care of our animals several times and has done a great job each time. I like having consistency when it comes to our animals caregiver and Jasmine is who we use exclusively.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and empathy I bring to every pet I look after. As a pet parent myself, I understand that pets are family—not just animals. Recently, I experienced the loss of my own beloved fur baby, which deepened my appreciation for the trust pet owners place in someone caring for their pets. That experience reinforced how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable when their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet's personality, routine, and individual needs, whether that means extra playtime, a slower pace for a senior pet, or simply providing companionship and reassurance. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented. Pet parents can expect regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing their pet is receiving genuine care and attention. My goal is not just to watch your pet—it's to make them feel cared for, understood, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work a structured schedule that allows me to plan dedicated time for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so providing consistent care, attention, and updates to pet parents is something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it's maintaining a pet's regular routine, administering medications if needed, or simply providing extra affection and exercise, I make sure each pet receives personalized care and attention. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine is respected, so I take the time to learn each pet's feeding schedule, exercise needs, preferences, and any special instructions. In both my home and a client's home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible through regular walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also provide updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and connected while they're away. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I monitor pets closely, ensure they have access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and opportunities for play and enrichment throughout the day. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for most of my life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I constantly rescued dogs—despite my parents telling me not to—and eventually my passion rubbed off on them too. I recently lost my two longtime furbabies, Isaac and Luckie, both rescues who lived long, happy lives of 14+ years. Losing them reminded me how quiet and lonely home can feel without a pet, which inspired me to begin pet sitting. It allows me to share love, provide comfort, and help pet parents feel at ease when they need someone trustworthy. Over ten years ago, a sitter once lost my dog Luckie. Although I found him, that moment showed me exactly how stressful it is to leave your pet with someone else. Because of that experience, I take safety, communication, and supervision extremely seriously. I’ve cared for several neighbors’ pets over the years, following their feeding instructions, providing multiple walks a day, and sending frequent updates. I offer photos, videos, and even FaceTime check-ins upon request. My goal is for every pet to feel at home, and for every owner to feel confident they’re in good hands. Your pet will receive personal attention, consistent care, and plenty of love here at Canine Clubhouse—their home away from home. Pets are family, and I treat them exactly that way. Available **7 days a week** for overnight and drop-in visits. I provide flexible scheduling, attentive one-on-one care, and a safe, loving environment where your dog will feel right at home. **Additional Services** * Pick-up and drop-off are available for an additional fee. #Important Policies **Puppies & Potty Training** * I do **not** accept puppies **1 year of age or younger**. * I do **not** accept dogs that are not fully potty trained. * If a dog is checked in that is not potty trained after you have been informed of this policy, a $10 per day additional fee will be included. NO SAME DAY BOOKINGS ! **Large Dog Fee** * Dogs weighing **60 lbs or more** are subject to an additional **$10 per day**, which is due at check-in. These policies help ensure a clean, comfortable, and enjoyable environment for every dog in my care. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! I provide personalized, attentive care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, calm, and cozy environment with plenty of affection, supervised play, scheduled walks, and consistent feeding times. I also send regular photo and video updates so you always feel connected. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep your pet comfortable in their familiar space. I maintain their regular feeding, walking, and medication routines, provide companionship, and ensure their environment stays safe and clean. Your pet’s comfort and well-being always come first, no matter the location.
“Wallace was great with our little circus! We got daily updates and pictures and our dog and two kittens warmed up to him very easily. Wallace had great communication and a strong sense of responsibility. We will definitely be using his services in the future!”
About: After spending my childhood years helping take care of dogs of many breeds and sizes, I naturally became a dog lover! I have been a dog owner for 15+ years to my pom-chi and I recently added a bichon-poo to my pack. They are treated like my babies as I have been nurturing them since they were puppies. Along side my mom's Chihuahua at times- the girls are very healthy, happy and playful. Outside of being a dog mom, I always have a love and connection to the animals and enjoy volunteering at the shelters and horseback ranch. I've administered oral and ear medication, post op care, given baths/grooming, brushing teeth, taken care of puppies... among other pet care needs. I signed up to provide these services as I enjoy the company of dogs. They're fun loving animals and a pleasure to take care of. I ensure to make your fur baby feel like they're at a home away from home. I currently live with 3 dogs and a cat of all different ages, while working from home full time. We have a routine of our own which other fur babies are welcome to join. I'm currently working from home full time and have time throughout the day to look after and care for your pets with plenty of play, rest, water and care. I have a fenced in back yard for the dogs to enjoy. My 2 other playful girls are there to join in on the fun while my senior dog can show off her favorite spots to lounge and sun bathe. I sometimes take the dogs for walks around my neighborhood so they're able to release energy and enjoy time outside the property. Although I am home, I do have crates available, if your dog prefers their own personal space. I've administered oral and ear medication, post op care, given baths/grooming, brushing teeth, taken care of puppies... among other pet care needs. In case of emergency, I'm 5 minutes away from a caring vet that I use as well as a 24 hour animal hospital.
“Sahara was wonderful! Our previous sitter cancelled last minute, and Sahara made herself available to watch our 3 dogs 5 days before we left for vacation! I always have some anxiety about leaving my pups for vacation, but Sahara made me feel comfortable that they were in great hands. She sent videos and photos daily, and kept me updated on how she was taking care of them. We will gladly use Sahara again and are so grateful for her!”
“Marylizza was careful to meet our dog before the trip and make sure we would all be comfortable. Our dog is not the friendliest, but she warmed up to Marylizza. She sent us daily photos, and we had no worries.”

About: Lifetime of experience with dogs and cats, 5 years of furster care for puppies (training, love, and preparing them for their forever homes), and puppy love. I work full time, but making sure they start and end their day with love is important. Walks in the evening and weekend adventures are options. I have a fenced in yard for watching my parents animals. My own never miss a day of snuggles and play. If your furbaby stays at my home it will need to be cat friendly and would be safe downstairs where there is plenty of room to play. Giving all animals a safe space.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hopeful
Aniya was absolutely wonderful with Diamond! 🐾💗 She arrived on time, was very communicative throughout the day, and kept us updated with pictures, which we really appreciated. She came to our home to house sit and took such great care of Diamond. She made sure Diamond got her walk and even captured some sweet photos along the way. What stood out most to us was how loving and affectionate Aniya was with Diamond. She made her feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We had a great experience with Aniya and would absolutely trust her with Diamond again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and attentive sitter! 🐶❤️
I couldn't be happier with Lori! She took excellent care of my kitty while I was out of town. Not only did she go above and beyond by messaging me with daily updates with photos and videos, but she was also extremely responsive and kind, as well as accommodating when my trip got extended unexpectedly. I will definitely be booking Lori again and again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hopeful is $57 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $58 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.
As of November 2026, there are 3,578 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hopeful. 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 Hopeful 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 Hopeful 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 Hopeful 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 Hopeful. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
