“Always so responsible and communicative. Loves my animals a lot, and when I come home the house is clean and the pets are happy. I have booked with Sarah many times and will continue to do so.”
“Ashley did a first-time 5 night housesit for my almost 10 year old lab mix, and she did a great job. She followed my directions and gave me daily updates and photos. She was very responsive through the app. I felt confident my dog was well-cared for and would use her again.”
“Destinee was amazing, she took care of my two dogs for a full day, and i can confirm they were great took care, meals and walks on time, always asking how she can help, it was a great experience for me and my dogs, if i ever need someone to take care of my dogs any other day I’ll absolutely go with her with no hesitation!!”
“Carson was an excellent sitter for our dog Coco! We contacted him last minute after our other arrangements fell through, we were so lucky to have found him! He was communicative, took great care of Coco, and Coco seemed to have had a great time with him!”
“Jeanette is amazing. She cared for our dog, took him for long walks, took him with her so he had companionship during the day, and stayed with him at the house. Highly recommended!”
“Madeline was AMAZING with our dog and cat. She was responsive when messaging. She kept us updated with photos and messages. We returned to a spotless house and happy pets.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets - fish, dogs, cats, and birds primarily - for around 10 years. Possibly more. Absolutely love being able to assist elderly pups as well I’m currently a college student who has a lot of free time at various times during the day. Happily available to stay over as needed I play with and relax with the pets during the day and take them on walks as needed. Depending on age or size of the dog I try to give them one longer walk each day.
“Taresse was great. We felt very comfortable leaving our dogs in their care. They sent many photos and updates to let us know how our dogs were doing. We will definitely have Taresse watch the dogs again the next time we go away.”
“Aryanna was wonderful. The dogs seemed to like her and were content to be with her. Especially the one dog who is very anxious about everything and everyone. Aryanna also took the initiative to take care of some of the chores such as taking the trash out. I really appreciated that. I would definitely rebook with her.”
“Great and flexible dog sitter. Was able to adjust days and times as life happened and made us adjust our travel plans. Our dogs are not the easiest but they warmed to her quickly and it made for a great match.”
“Tabitha is WONDERFUL! My dog is very emotionally needy (has anxiety), and I needed a sitter very last minute. Tabitha came to the rescue and was so attentive with Franny and did such a good job with her! I really trust her and i can’t wait to use her again 🙂”
“Samantha has cared for our dog (and home) twice now. Again we returned home to a happy pup and clean home. Samantha kept us informed and sent photos, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.”
“Claudia is great. She has watched our pets multiple times. She is great at communication, sends pictures throughout her sitting period, shares important info, asks questions to ensure our pets are taken care of just how we want them to be, and she is a great house guest - very respectful and always timely. We will continue to use Claudia regularly :)”
“I highly recommend Katherine's dog sitting services. She recently took care of our dog, Peanut, and did an amazing job. Katherine was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated daily with photos and details about Peanut's routine, ensuring she was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hopewell
Taresse showed up at the agreed upon time, and my dogs really loved her. When I left the house they were so excited to be around her and got lots of affection. When I got home the next day I could tell my dogs were happy and comfortable. Their water bowls were full of fresh clean water, which is important to me. Taresse left the house clean and in good order. I felt like she prioritized my dogs' safety and happiness, which makes me happy!
Came home to a tidy house and two very cuddly pets. Our dog is pretty high needs in terms of attention, and our cat is terrified of new people. We got plenty of pics and updates over the 10 days we were out, and by the end of their time together the cat was actually coming out to spend time with her and the dog, which normally would take him months of meeting a person. Cannot recommend enough, and would absolutely book again.
Absolutely great! My dogs are very scared when left alone over the 4th of July and they felt very secure with her there. Our cat is also a very needy boy who constantly demands whatever he wants and she handled it perfectly. She also gave a ton of pictures and gave a lot of updates. I would definitely book again!
Jessica sat with my girl Lilly for 6 days and did a stellar job. She is exceedingly professional but also compassionate and kind. She sent me numerous photos of Lilly to keep me posted and Lilly looked alert and happy in every one. This was only the second time I've had a dog sitter and I am still anxious about the process. But Lilly is 13 (albeit with lots of puppy energy) and I just don't want to leave her in a kennel cage anymore. I was not worried for one minute while away. And when I returned, I was happy to see her in good health and spirit and thee house exactly as I left it. I recommend Jessica without reservation.
I wish I could give Yasmine a million stars! She is so attentive. When one of our dogs was having tummy issues, she offered to make her a plain meal to help. She is so responsive and sends so many pictures and updates. We were so nervous leaving our babies but she is a pro. 100% recommend her and we will be using her again in the future!
Johnny was great at communicating early and often. Made sure he met both our pets and came to the apartment beforehand to make sure everything was a good fit. He sent pictures and updates daily on our vacation and took very good care of our apartment. I definitely will book with Johnny again and would recommend him to anyone looking.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hopewell
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hopewell on Rover is $40.66 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 10,185 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.

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.
