“Brad was so easy to work with from the beginning to the end. He remembered details from our Meet & Greet six weeks ahead of time. Our dogs were at ease with him from the first time they met which was comforting since we never had a house sitter service for them before. He communicated with us daily and shared pics of them too. He also left no trace that he stayed in our house for five days! It was clean and orderly when we returned which is a wonderful perk after being away. I will definitely request and recommend him for future stays.”
About: I have years of experience walking dogs and petsitting both dogs and cats, whether taking them out for a walk or just keeping them company, I always prioritize your pets needs to ensure they are happy & healthy! I have experience caring for puppies and kittens all the way to senior dogs and cats, from one-time visits to a week and longer stays. As an animal lover, I find great joy in spending time with dogs and cats, ensuring they receive ample attention, and doing all I can to keep them from feeling lonely while their owners are away. I keep pets safe by avoiding any potentially dangerous situations, like walking along busy streets or getting too close to dogs who show signs of hostility (i.e growling/aggressive barking). I’d love to care for your adorable furry friends! I have a flexible schedule - I’m available for drop-in visits and walks, or to stay with your pets during the day and/or overnight! Looking for pet-sitting work in the Lake Norman area! I always prioritize your pets safety - being mindful of where we are walking, surroundings, and weather conditions, and following routines for feeding and bedtimes! I am happy to do whatever is best for your pet - whether they prefer energetic playtime or just relaxing! I keep owners up to date with messages and photos so they know their pet is in good hands!
“Tommy was amazing from our initial meet and greet through his entire stay with our dog, Wally. You can immediately tell Tommy genuinely loves dogs and will treat yours like his own. It was our first experience leaving our dog with anyone other than family. It was so nice not worrying one bit about Wally being in good hands. Tommy communicated with us regularly, even helped with a few things around the house while we were away and when we returned, you could hardly tell he had been here. Everything was tidy and neat. We highly recommend Tommy and plan to have him watch Wally again in the future.”
“Jen is a fantastic and reliable friend to our fur-kid Gromit. She is always very responsive, even last minute, and reliable. We know Gromit loves her and enjoys his time out and about with her. Her attention to care and updating us on how he is doing via texts and photos is wonderful and we recommend her 100%!”
“Ethan was absolutely amazing with our anxious English Bulldog for overnight dog sitting! He took the time (and multiple visits) for George to become totally comfortable! He was excellent and very knowledgeable about dogs and their personality quirks! 10/10 will be booking him again!”
“Great overnight sitter for my two pups. They were spoiled while I was gone for half a week. The house was immaculate upon my return. Also good communication on updates.”
About: I have cared for and loved pets of all kinds all of my life. Cats, dogs, goats, rabbits, lizards and a bird. I am responsible and respectful. With age comes dependability and maturity. Plus, animals love me. I'm retired so everyday is a Saturday. I travel in a converted Sprinter van, but only a few times a year. I'm available unless already booked. I'll be happy to take care of your dog in your home and walk them in/around your neighborhood. Do they like dog parks? That can be arranged, too.
“Morgan did a great job caring for our dog and cat! Communication was seamless. The house was spotless when we returned home and I can tell she brought them a lot of comfort while we were out of town. Thanks Morgan!!”
“Kylie was so sweet and left a very happy dog after her stay! She even fed our neighbor’s cat who roams around and loves to hang out on our porch. She showed up on time, was kind enough to offer and do a meet and greet even though it was a last minute booking, And kept us updated with pictures. We would book her again without hesitation!”
“Addison was an amazing pet and house sitter! She took such wonderful care of our dog and home while we were away and gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. She even went above and beyond to make his birthday special while we were gone, which meant so much to us! We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a tidy home, and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely recommend Addison and would love to have her watch him and our home again!”
“Alonna was awesome! We felt at ease leaving town knowing she was caring for our pups. She checked in frequently, send pictures, and left the house clean. I would book her again in a heartbeat, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!! :)”
“William was prompt, reliable, trust worthy, kind, attentive, and fantastic at providing updates ( and awesome pics) of our fur babies! We would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a pet sitter!”
About: I have had dogs and pets my entire life. I love taking care of dogs, including walking, bathing, feeding, playing, going to the dog park, or going on an adventure hike! I am currently available seven days a week from 8 am - 7 pm to walk your dogs or to pet sit your dogs or cats. I provide all care in your home, where your pet is most comfortable and relaxed. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely so the day feels familiar, and I’ll keep your home tidy and secure, making sure doors and gates are closed behind me. For walks, I keep dogs on a leash, stay alert to our surroundings, and choose safe, familiar routes, and I’m happy to visit a nearby park if your dog enjoys it. I always recommend a meet-and-greet first so your pet and I can get acquainted, and you can walk me through your home and routine. You’ll get photo and video updates during every visit, and I’ll keep your vet’s contact information handy in case of an emergency.
“Reggi took care of our 2 dogs for 10 days. She made me feel immediately at ease as I never left them for that long. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the entire time which were most welcomed! They were well cared for and loved - thank you Reggi!”
“Briana was great in watching Zelda with Zelda accepting Briana the moment she met her. Briana gave frequent updates with pictures and we had no worries or concerns with her during her time here.”
About: I took care of my former roommates’ chihuahua and standard poodle during the pandemic. I enjoyed exercising at the dog park, bonding time, and connections with pet owners. I’m truly excited to care for your furry friends as my 3 year old and I love being around dogs! Please note: For drop-ins I will walk, feed, and play with your dog(s). For cats, I will feed, change the litter and play with them. I will only board dogs and cats that are small child friendly and will consider house sitting dogs that may not be as friendly if there is a crate and a gate available to keep my child separated. I am currently available full time to care for your pet needs! If you would like to set up a meet and greet prior to committing, we can meet at a local park. I have an open and spacious yard and can easily crate your dog inside if needed. We will walk in the neighborhood at least every 3 hours and I will log all bathroom activity for drop ins.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hopewell
Ashley was amazing! I couldn’t have had a better sitter. She was really sweet and cared for my dog as if he was her own. She sent me pictures of him and the communication was outstanding! When I came home and walked in my house it felt cozy and was cleaner than it was when I left. I highly recommend her and I will definitely have her back again.
I know my dog is in great hands with Julia She arrives on time, brings her lovely energy gives her full attention to my boy. Follows his routine perfectly Sends lots of updates and photos I greatly appreciate her, I am a repeat client and she is my first request when I need an in house sitter
Jeannie was wonderful with my pup, Benny! She took great care of him and also my home while I was away. He got plenty of exercise and snuggles and I got lots of updates and pictures. It was so nice to know Benny was happy while I wasn’t at home! Jeannie is warm, caring, loves animals, and I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
Allie was a great house sitter for my three cats, only one of whom is sociable with strangers. But her pictures prove that they became quite comfortable very quickly. She asked good questions during the meet and greet.Everybody was happy and the house was clean when I returned. Will definitely use again.
Natalia is excellent, and our girls loved her. We could tell they had been spoiled when we got home. She was accommodating to a schedule change and was available for a late night drop in last minute. I highly recommend her and we plan to use her for any future travel so our elderly dogs can stay home while we are away.
Bridget was the absolute best we could have asked for to help take care of our two dogs with our first experience using Rover. She was so prompt to respond and set up a meet and greet. We left for our trip feeling very comfortable and confident the dogs were in good hands. She sent us loads of photos and updates each day and our dogs sure had a blast! I would HIGHLY recommend her for anyone in the Huntersville-Cornelius-Mooresville area.
Sam Assemgul was excellent! She performed all expected tasks as requested in a professional manner. Sam treated my dog with good care and love. She also sent me daily text updates and photos/movies which made the 13 day separation doable without worry. Thus, without reservation, I highly recommend Sam as an inhouse, long term dog sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hopewell is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $84 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 October 2026, there are 2,933 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
