“Emily was awesome ! Very friendly and knowledgeable, On short notice she was able to accommodate my schedule. She gave me daily updates, would ask questions if anything came up . Maverick enjoyed Emily and my home was left in better condition after she left than when she came. Very conscientious about the needs of Maverick. She will definitely be requested to come back again.”
“Emily was fantastic! From the first point of contact, she was professional, kind, and very responsive. We had a great meet and greet prior to her stay at our home and she brought such a calm and comfortable energy around our doggos. We appreciated how communicative she was while we were away for the long weekend, taking great care of our pups and house and sending plenty of updates along the way. We would highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for an experienced, professional sitter. We will certainly look to book her again in the future!”
“Lexi is one of the best sitters out there! You can tell she is passionate for animals and treats them as her own. She was so great at communicating with us and is very responsive. We received a video update on our pups as well. The house was left in the same shape we left it in. Very kind, sweet, and caring girl!”
“Shelly is a treat! We've never gone on vacation without our dog because she can be a real handful and we didn't want to burden anyone else. Well, a trip came up where we couldn't take her and we decided to give home sitting a shot. Enter our hero, Shelly. She made the whole process easy and, more importantly, our dog loved her, which is a rarity. Long story short, we love Shelly!”
“Needed some last minute help watching my Dog Catie. Thank goodness Heather came to my rescue. Very responsible willing to go above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable with her even offered to stop and get treats for her on her way. Send pictures of our pup so we knew she was happy. Very nice and communicative. I would recommend”
“We are always scared to leave our dog with a stranger, but Sammy did great!! She updated me each time she went over and sat with him for a while so he wasn’t alone for so long. Will definitely book again in the future!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I make sure each pup gets the right mix of exercise, playtime, and affection to keep them happy and healthy while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or sticking to their specific feeding and care routines, I treat every dog like they’re my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands! I am at home full time and manage my business from home. I am available 24/7, 7 days a week for all your needs of care for your pet! I have a large secure privacy fenced in backyard for lots of free run and potty breaks. Your pet will be able to roam free or be crated if that is your typical routine! They are able to go out to potty every 30mins- an hour and playtime is all day! Feeding schedule varies on the pet and the preferences of the owner. We provide lots of fresh treats always! Please let us know of any allergies or things you would rather your pet not consume (treat wise).
“Lo took great care of our dogs and the house. I will be using her again and highly recommend. My dogs take a minute to let new people in their circle and she did great with them. They loved her!”
“Andrew did a great job. He communicated very well and let us know what was going on with a lot of pics and videos. It was nice to not be stressed and worry about home. He went above and beyond and made sure everything was taken care off and even helped with house chores! Very grateful to find a great sitter!”
“Stacey was amazing! Our baby has pretty high energy and he was having a really hard time the first day but she had so much patience with him & kept working with him to make him feel more comfortable. She even did daily check ins with me. We will definitely be using her again! :)”
About: Hi, I’m Bri! 🐾 I’m the kind of pet sitter who treats your pets like family — with patience, love, and plenty of attention to the little things that make them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your cat needs a calm companion, your pup needs extra playtime, or your pet simply needs someone reliable while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel cared for in their own home. I’ll follow their routine, respect their personality, and keep you updated so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. ❤️ My goal isn’t just to “watch” your pet — it’s to make them feel loved, secure, and spoiled while you’re away. 🐶🐱 I work full-time, but pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy doing outside of work. I understand how hard it can be to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets when you’re busy, traveling, or away from home. While my weekday availability is centered around my work schedule, I’m dependable about the times I commit to and make the most of every visit. I’ll give your pets plenty of attention, follow their normal routines, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m especially passionate about providing reliable, personalized care rather than treating every pet the same. I’ll take the time to learn their personality, needs, and little quirks — and I’ll keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. ❤️ **Your pets get my full attention when I’m with them, and you get a sitter you can count on.** 🐶🐱🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I believe great pet sitting starts with creating a calm, secure, and trustworthy environment where your pets can feel relaxed while you’re away. I take the time to understand your pet’s routine, personality, and needs, while making sure their surroundings stay clean, safe, and comfortable. I’m attentive to details, respectful of your home, and committed to providing dependable care you can feel confident in. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or simply loves to relax, I’ll give them the patience, supervision, and personalized attention they deserve. **Your home is their safe space, and I’ll treat it — and your pets — with the same care and respect I would want for my own. ❤️🐶🐱**
About: I've grown up my whole life with dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I feel very comfortable with energetic and large dog breeds & can recognize their behaviors. I love to talk to owners first to make sure I cover any special instructions or needs but I can promise lots of cuddles, care, attention, and ear scratches. Evenings, Nights, Weekends are all available. I have a full time job but I have a lot of job flexibility so coming to feed or walk throughout the day is completely doable. I usually like to talk to their human first and see if there are any special instructions & then show up to care for them.
“Hannah was very flexible, meet n greet, and is kind, confident, and understanding. She clearly has experience with loud and large dogs as well. I would trust her to watch the dogs again!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for multiple dogs throughout my life, giving me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and everyday care. I treat every dog like family and prioritize their safety and happiness. I am currently home from college for the summer. I do not have other responsibilities, so caring for your pet is my top priority. I am free every day to be able to feed, walk, and play with them. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their everyday routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether I’m providing walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll ensure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, meals, and any other care instructions you provide.
“Janell was absolutely wonderful! We have five pets (two large dogs and three cats) who, while all lovely, can be a lot to manage all together. Janell took everything in stride and was an excellent caretaker while we were out of town! She was extremely communicative, sent plenty of pictures, and was very conscientious about their care. She also was very respectful of our home and left everything in great shape! There’s nothing better than knowing your pets are in good hands while you’re out of town and coming home to a happy and cared for crew, and Janell definitely fits that bill. We would absolutely have her watch our pets again!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 6 years. I’ve also worked for a dog daycare/boarding facility where I was trained in Fear Free dog handling. Outside of official pet care experience, I grew up with three family dogs! I work as a barista Monday-Friday 6am-12pm. My shifts are never longer than 6 hours, so accounting for travel time, I would be gone 7 hours at a time max. At my dog daycare job, I took courses on the “Fear Free” technique. Fear free techniques encompass a considerate approach, gentle handling, positive reinforcement, and creating a calm environment. Listening to the behavior cues of the pet is most important to me.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hopewell on Rover is $22.2 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,381 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hopewell. 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 Hopewell 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 Hopewell 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 Hopewell 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hopewell. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
