“Erika had helped me out of a tough spot more than once. Twice now I scheduled overnight plans away from home and forgot to set up coverage for my fur babies. Erika swooped in and saved the day both times with literally a few hours notice! She’s prompt, highly communicative, asks the right questions ahead of time so she’s not disturbing me at my scheduled event, and my fur babies are happy. 5 stars all around!”

About: Hi! My name is Sofia B., a lover of art, travel, and especially animals. I have three pets- a dog (Miniature Schnauzer; 6 yrs), cat (Bengal; 7 yrs), and fish (Betta; 2 yrs) . I have experience working at a pet store for 2 years and specialize in regular feeding, cleaning, walking, and quality time. I value like-minded owners who are just as passionate with pets as I am. I can’t wait to meet your pet! I take care of three pets that my parents have in their households. Because they live in separate places, I am a part-time care taker for each animal. I step in whenever each pet needs their care and create a schedule around each pets’ needs, prioritizing each of their individual routines. In the home, I spend as much time with the pet as I can (if they allow me). Quality time with my pets is of utmost importance. At designated times, I routinely follow daily routines in order such as regular feeding, cleaning, and walking. If a pet requires anything more, I immediately tend to whatever need that may be and learn about their behaviors to form bonds.

“Taresse did an excellent job taking care of my cats during my recent trip. She is very responsible and reliable kitty sitter and my cats love her! She manages multiple cats, senior cats and cats on medications situations very well. I am usually greeted by my happy cats and everything looking very good and tidy when I return home.”

About: From a dog-filled childhood to a mom who ran a humane society, my journey makes me your pets ideal companion. I have extensive experience with a wide variety of breeds. My tall stature ensures safe, fun times for all dogs or cats. All sizes welcome. Your pets are sure to receive the love and attention they need to make them feel safe in your absence. In addition to their 3 daily short walks, your babies will get 1 long walk or run a day around the lake, where we can get some exercise and go on a “sniffari.” They’ll also have access to our large, fenced-in backyard to play and hang out. Pictures and videos included at no cost of course! My years of experience with animals has taught me that every pet is unique and needs different levels of care and attention to ensure not only their safety but their happiness. As a baseline, all walks will be leashed with an appropriately sized collar/harness. In my absence your pet will have a private room in the house with a comfortable bed, toys, food, water, and lots of sunshine. Please communicate with me about any special attention your animal may need and I will be sure that they are tended to.

About: I have taken care of many different pets aside from growing up with mostly dogs. Other than my absolute love for animals, I am reliable and hard working. I am currently available at almost all times! If you need a sitter during the week or weekends, I’m here for ya! Will keep schedule updated and current as life events come up! I am willing to do most things that are asked of me and follow the instructions I’m given. In the case of more freedom, I will use critical thinking and good judgement to solve any problem there may be and to take great care of your pet.

About: What truly sets us apart is that caring for dogs has always been something we do from the heart. We’ve loved and cared for dogs at every stage of life—from energetic puppies who need extra patience and attention to senior dogs who need a little more care, comfort, and understanding. We had the privilege of caring for our 13-year-old Great Pyrenees through her later years, including when limited mobility meant she needed extra help and patience. We’ve also welcomed friends’ puppies into our home for several weeks while they were away, and our neighbors have trusted us with their dogs month after month, knowing we’ll make sure they get their daily walks, playtime, meals, and—of course—lots of cuddles. We know how hard it can be to leave a beloved pet behind, so our goal is to give every dog a safe, loving, and fun home where they feel like part of the family—not just a guest. I'm currently working a hybrid schedule so there is a lot of quality time. With daily morning and evening walks, along with a run, your pet has plenty of opportunities for exercise. Regardless of the workday, your pet would have a home companion with our loving, mellow husky and three cats. We have a yard and very walkable neighborhood for your pet to get nice daily walk! Daily enjoying the company of our husky and three cats, your dog will have new friends to spend time with. For walks, we offer a 15 minute walk or 20 minute run option. For in-home drop- ins, we can offer both morning and evening walks/run and feeding services.

About: I grew up with dogs and fostered sick and behavior needs dogs (and 2 cats) in home for three years. I've trained and cared for puppies and older dogs. I love interacting with dogs and getting them outdoors for fun and exercise. My work schedule varies and I can be flexible for walking hours. I'm happy to care for pets in their own home and provide them the best care with minimal disruptions to their routine. I currently don't have space to board but I'm happy to care for dogs in their own home and take them for walks or hikes.

About: Hi Im TJ, a lifelong dog lover who truly understands how hard it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’ve been there myself, and that’s exactly why I joined Rover, to offer pet parents peace of mind knowing their pup is safe, loved, and well cared for. My Care Philosophy: I treat every pup I care for like my own, with patience, affection, and attention to their comfort and well-being. I work from home full-time, which allows me to be very hands on and present throughout the day. Whether your pup is energetic or laid back, I’m able to match their vibe and provide a safe, nurturing environment. I have experience with administering medication, puppies and elderly dogs. In my home, I specialize and care for small and medium sized pups. I’m focused on quality care, I make sure each pup has a comfortable, cozy setup. I understand that every pup is unique, so I follow their established routines as closely as possible to help reduce any stress or anxiety. What to Expect •Constant supervision and companionship •Lots of playtime, affection, and mental stimulation •Regular walks, potty breaks, and updates to you •A calm, pet-friendly home environment • Crate-Trained Canines Only Your pup must be crate-trained because we serve meals and naps in their cozy "doggy suite." While you’re away I’m here to make your pup feel at ease, cared for, and loved. As someone who works from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. From morning walks and playtime to consistent potty breaks and cuddle sessions. Pet care is naturally built into my routine, so your pup will never feel alone or overlooked. I also keep their spaces clean, cozy, and calm to make them feel right at home. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and structured environment where dogs feel safe and loved. I follow each pup’s routine closely, offer regular potty breaks, playtime, quiet rest, and use crates for overnight safety and comfort in line with Rover Trust & Safety guidance. For drop in visits, I make sure pets are fed, exercised, and given attention while keeping their home routines consistent and stress free.

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember! Friends and family have always noticed my natural connection with animals and have trusted me to care for their beloved pets. Through pet sitting for friends and relatives, I've enjoyed getting to know each pet's unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your pet! I'm always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet so we can get acquainted, discuss your pet's needs, and make sure we're a great fit. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! 🐾 I work full-time, Monday through Friday, and am generally available for pet care starting at 5:30 p.m. on weekdays. I have two work-from-home days each week, which can offer some additional flexibility depending on my schedule. My weekend availability varies, so please feel free to reach out and we can see what works! For overnight stays, I'm happy to discuss your pet's routine and make sure my work schedule is a good fit for their needs. 😊 Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! Having grown up with dogs, I've developed a strong understanding of their needs, behaviors, personalities, and the care it takes to keep them happy and healthy. I'm comfortable with the day-to-day responsibilities of dog care and understand that every dog has their own unique personality and routine. In addition to caring for my own dogs throughout my life, I've also pet-sat for friends and family, giving me experience caring for dogs in different homes and making sure they're safe, comfortable, and well-loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I'd want someone to give my own. 🐾

About: Hi! I’m Michi and I’m 26 years old. I’m an experienced pet owner with six cats of my own, so caring for pets is already a huge part of my everyday life. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I’m happy to adapt to whatever helps them feel safest and happiest while you’re away. I also have experience taking care of dogs, guinea pigs, turtles, rabbits, birds, hamsters, fish, sugar gliders and more. I absolutely adore all pets and I can guarantee that I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own. I can walk dogs and can watch your pet at your home. That includes feeding, playing, walking, cleaning up after your pet and any other requests you may have. I am open to last minute scheduling and will travel to your location. I would love to watch your pets if you are unable to, just let me know! *I typically have classes Monday and Wednesday nights from 7-10pm so I’m available for a drop-in either before or after

Susan is such a wonderful caretaker for my animals! I have two very different energy level pets, and she manages them both with adaptable ease. With my senior cat, she is very calm, respectful, caring, and diligent to his needs. With my high-energy puppy she is playful, attentive, and gives her all the play and structure she needs. Will definately be booking her again!

Yasmine is the best person you could possibly have to care for your fur baby! All week I received detailed visit reports and many adorable pictures. First time I had left my 7 year old big kitty but after first visit knew he was in the best of hands! Yasmine even washed the couch cover when he threw up and took out trash/litter which I never would have expected. She figured out his favorite thing is to snuggle on top of you and indulged him. Yasmine will be one I call when need arises and I strongly recommend her!!!!!!

Charles was wonderful with Bear and Luna! This was actually my first time leaving my pups home alone for the entire day, so I was a little worried about them. Charles made the whole experience so much easier and gave me great peace of mind. He stopped by twice—once in the morning and again in the evening—to feed them, give them potty breaks, and make sure they had plenty of fresh water. He also sent me pictures during his visits, which I absolutely loved. Being able to see Bear and Luna happy and doing well really helped put my mind at ease. Charles is also very responsive and easy to communicate with, which I especially appreciated since I was a bit of a nervous dog mom this time around! Bear and Luna are both fairly big dogs, and I felt completely comfortable having Charles care for them. He was dependable, attentive, and made sure they had everything they needed. I’m so happy with the care he provided and will absolutely book Charles again. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to look after their pups!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Hopewell

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hopewell is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $38 per visit. 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 15,681 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hopewell. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hopewell. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

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.
