About: I have great knowledge and experience of dogs of all breeds and sizes, and have house sat and walked dogs through rover since I was a kid with my mom. I am experienced in training, introducing, and watching dogs as I have fully trained a male lab puppy, an African mastiff, my personal dog, and a therapy dog! I am currently taking full time college classes online, with two in person weekly. I also work marketing remotely so I have a lot of flexibility as I get to create my own schedule. I also am very fit and like to walk/hike daily finding new trails for me and the pups! I do hourly walks depending on the dog, as well as parks/hikes to make sure they fullfill their energy needs. I also ensure they are let out to use the bathroom on a consistent schedule as well as food and water. I myself have some energy so I do like to run around the backyard and/or play with them lots! If training is requested that is also done on a consistent strict schedule.

About: I’ve cared and loved dogs of various backgrounds. In my experience, I’ve successfully integrated a reactive dog with others, while maintaining a loving environment. I’ll make sure your pet gets the enrichment they need to fulfill a life an animal deserves (love and fun) ! I’m currently working full time from Mon-Friday from 9-6PM and mostly free on weekends. But know that after work feeling of wanting to just hangout, focus on hobbies, or go out to eat. That’s where I come in! I’d be happy to help drop in and make sure your pet gets the love and proper care they need so that you can have time for yourselves! :) I’m open to many services of care, whether that’d be taking your beloved pet outside to receive the enrichment they need, OR will happily take care of your pup and take the time they need to train at home.

About: Hi! My name is Vanessa, I am a graduate of Kutztown University with a degree in Special Education and two minors in social work and case management. I am seeking positions as a dog sitter as an additional gig. I have prior experience working with dogs and kittens/cats at the EASEL shelter so I am comfortable around animals. I personally do not own a dog, but I love the happiness and companionship a dog and cat gives. Being a sitter allows me to gain the proper experience I need to be able to own a dog in the future! I have experience in dog walking, drop-ins, and house-sitting (for both pets and the elderly). I have my own method of transportation, and a flexible schedule. I hope to meet you shortly!

About: When you entrust your pet to me, you're choosing someone whose career has been built on compassion, responsibility, and exceptional care. As a registered nurse with over 12 years of experience, I understand that every living being deserves individualized attention, patience, and a safe, nurturing environment. Caring for others is second nature to me. Throughout my nursing career, I've specialized in caring for seniors and individuals with unique medical and emotional needs. Those same skills translate seamlessly to pet care. Whether your pet is a playful puppy or kitten, a senior needing extra patience, requires medication, has special needs, or simply thrives with extra love and attention, I have the experience and confidence to provide attentive, reliable care. Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always been more than a job—it's a passion. In addition to nursing, I own and operate my own concierge nursing and pet care business, where trust, professionalism, and personalized service are the foundation of everything I do. I know leaving your pet behind can be stressful. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind by treating your dog or cat like a member of my own family. You'll receive dependable communication, regular updates, and the reassurance that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you're away. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all pet care. Every pet has a unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved from the moment they arrive. My commitment is to provide the same level of compassion, attention, and professionalism that I would want for my own pets. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work as a nurse three days a week, which allows me plenty of flexibility and dedicated time on my days off to focus on pet care. On my off days, I structure my schedule around the pets I’m caring for by making sure they receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, playtime, and any needed special care or medication. Because I’m used to working in a caregiving profession, I’m very organized and attentive to routines, which helps pets feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to provide dependable, unhurried care so each pet gets the attention they deserve, whether that’s extra walks, cuddle time, or sticking closely to their normal routine. I provide flexible, reliable, and attentive care both in my home and in my clients’ homes, depending on what works best for you and your pet. I offer drop-in visits, daily care, and overnight stays, as well as boarding in my own home where pets are welcomed into a safe, calm, and loving environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely including feeding schedules, walks, medication, playtime, and any special routines are handled with consistency and care. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable in their familiar surroundings while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. When pets stay in my home, they are treated like part of the family. I provide a clean, safe, and supervised environment where they receive plenty of attention, affection, and individualized care throughout the day. In all settings, I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, respect, and genuine love. I also believe in clear communication, so I provide regular updates and check-ins to give you peace of mind while you're away. My goal is always to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for at all times.

About: My love of animals developed through the influence of my mother and grandmother, who both trained dogs, horses, and other commendable beasties throughout my childhood in rural Maine. The beginning of my professional life was spent as an Early Childhood Educator at a local daycare, in addition to providing occasional pet care services to families around the community. I later moved to NYC, where I worked as an in-home Nanny, Chef, and Household Manager with families located on Manhattan and Long Island. Dog(and cat!) sitting became a part-time job that I loved so much I never gave up. I currently reside in Southern Maine, where I spend most days promoting “The Way Life Should Be” as an Associate Broker with The Hatcher Group at Keller Williams. My goal is to make sure that your family and home are exceptionally cared for, while providing peace of mind via live updates so that you enjoy your time away. I am flexible with the services I provide, so please reach out to me if you have any specific needs. I am able to make my own schedule these days, so I only need a little notice in advance to plan around your pet’s needs. I do not have a place that can entertain pets at the moment, but I am happy to care for yours in their own home however they need.

About: My friends and family call me Tom Care-a-lot, Tom the Mom, and The Dog Whisperer. I am often told I am too nice, but sometimes kindness and patience can be what someone needs to be a good caregiver. I have worked at East Memphis Pet Hospital & Resort as a Daycare and Kennel worker, and occasionally perform Vet Tech duties such as administering medication, which has taught me a lot about caring for multiple dogs and adapting to each dogs' individual needs. I have also worked for GoDog West Nashville and Morris Animal Inn. To be responsible for another life sometimes means that you have to be flexible, I understand if something comes up last minute, it happens; I will be as flexible as you and your dogs' needs. Your dog will be in good-hearted, caring hands while you are doing what you need to do. Your dogs and their home will be safe, you can leave it to me. I will respond to booking requests with 12-24 hours if not immediately. If something doesn’t work in my schedule I will let you know ahead of time unless there is an emergency. I work Freelance from home (remote), so my hours are flexible. I have obligations with other people and clients but I will make any booking done through the app, if they are accepted and scheduled. Failure to contact about a booking before service will result in a cancellation and YOU will be charged a cancellation fee and will take all responsibility for your pet(s). I treat them with respect, I will not hit or discipline them physically, if you instruct me to do so I will decline and cancel the stay or appointment. I do not tolerate abuse or neglect. I will clean up if they have an accident and my motto is to “leave the house roughly in the same state you came/found it in”. I will use your amenities like washer/dryer/sink/shower/dishwasher if I am staying multiple days or overnight. I will do my best to clean up after myself but I cannot conform to all expectations of perfection. Make sure there are no illegal drugs or weapons in the residence (weapons must be away and sealed in a secure location, if any are in the residence) failure to comply with this will result in an immediate cancellation and it will be on YOU.

About: I’ve always had multiple pets my whole life from a young age, learned responsibilities by feeding, grooming, walking, entertaining, training and medically providing for all my pets and any animal in my care. I have experience working in multiple vet clinics throughout my childhood as I was a pre-vet major up until junior year of college so I have a lot of experience with all kinds of animals and medical knowledge as well. I now have my own dog, Appa, who is 2 that I raised from a puppy and am currently self training. I am currently a phd grad student at vanderbilt university so I have morning classes and lab work, but I live right down the road from campus (less than 5 min drive) and I always come home immediately after my classes/work to be home with Appa. Pet care fits into my daily schedule as I spend as much time as i can working from home so I can be with my dog. I have a 1 bedroom apartment and i live with my 2 year old fur baby named Appa! I have an apt with room for some zoomies and room to play with toys, I have a balcony if they like being outside and my buidling also has a small dog park on the roof with 2 fenced circular yards lined with turf so they can run around at a mini park as much as they want!

About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for a 60 lb Labrador Retriever, whom I raised from puppyhood. During that time, I learned how to understand dog behavior, body language, exercise needs, and daily routines at every stage of life. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has its own unique personality. I take the time to build trust, whether a pet is playful, shy, or needs extra patience. Although I no longer have my Labrador, the experience gave me a strong foundation in responsible pet care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, following each owner’s instructions carefully to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m a faculty at Rutgers, and most of my teaching is online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend a lot of time at home. This makes it easy for me to provide pets with regular attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet in my care receives consistent supervision and the care they need. I live in a clean, pet-friendly two-bedroom apartment near downtown New Brunswick. I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable, and calm environment where they can relax and feel at home. I follow each pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to help reduce stress. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and regular updates with photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe and well cared for.

Joanna was wonderful. She showed up 3 times a day as agreed upon, was punctual, and took good care of our 2 dogs. The dogs were totally new to this situation and in general very anxious. Joanna knew just what to do to win them over. We will happily rehire her!

Devon was great with our dog Oden. He warmed up to her quickly and her dog Layka. She sent plenty of pictures and updates about him and even walked him during the storms. She also played with him inside to get more of his energy out. She was very attentive, which we appreciate. We will definitely book with her again!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Hopewell

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Hopewell is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 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 October 2026, there are 4,683 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

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!

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.

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Hopewell with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
