“Naomi took wonderful care of our dog Stella! She was on time, very responsive, and sent lots of great photos! We wouldn't hesitate to have Naomi take care of our dog in the future!”
About: I have taken care of neighbor's cats since I was 12, providing meals, medicine and love. I have had my own dog for 9 years who I also care for. I volunteered at SAVE animal shelter for 3 years taking care of cats. I just graduated high school so I am free this entire summer before I leave for college in the beginning of September 2026. I work at the YMCA on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4-7 but am free the rest of the week. I can easily take care of the pet in my clients home. I have experience doing so; cleaning litter boxes, taking care of the house, cleaning up messes, and more. I can water plants or provide any other house services while the owners are away.
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. From the very first moment, it was clear that Ella truly understands cats—not just their routines, but their emotions, boundaries, and quiet language. My cats felt safe and genuinely cared for, which says everything. Ella has what I can only describe as soul cat energy: patient, intuitive, and deeply kind. She went above and beyond, not just making sure everything was done, but making sure my cats felt loved. Ella is a true star and a rare find.”
About: I have always loved animals. Beginning in middle school, I would always volunteer at shelters because I saw the great need for help with so many dogs that had been abandoned or rescued from neglect. and I myself decided to adopt a few of them and give them the life meant for a prince or princess:) I am always vigilant to their wellbeing, I love playing with them, they give so much unconditional love. I love my dogs with all my heart. I currently work with an attorney as a paralegal in Princeton Junction, NJ. I get plenty of breaks during the day, and that’s when I take care of dogs! 🐕 🐕🐕 I can always work around your schedule and your needs. I can dog sit at night, and/or overnight boarding, Saturday and Sunday all day:) I am also available during the day to walk dogs and check up on them❤️ My parents have a big fenced in yard, which is great for my 2 dogs to play around. There’s also a big dog park not far for more playtime and there’s plenty of playgrounds too to take the doggies for a walk.
“Bhali was so helpful and caring with our two dogs. They were well taken care of and very happy to go on walks with her. She catered to their needs and we appreciated the punctual check-ins with detailed updates and photos. Thank you so much Bhali!”
About: I’ve dogsat for friends and coworkers many times before! I love their company, I think each dog has their own interesting personality so I’m excited to meet yours! I work M-F 9-4 but am free to walk your pup anytime after that and or dog-sit as needed! I’m usually at a park getting my steps in anyways, so I’d love to bring your dog with me next time! I can’t dog-sit in my new apartment unfortunately but I will gladly watch them at your house as needed! Please let me know! Thanks!
About: I am a very loyal and caring animal lover (dogs, cats, horses, etc.) I grew up in Lawrenceville, NJ with cats and dogs. One of our chores was taking care of our animals, whether walking the dog, feeding them or changing cat litter and making sure all animals had fresh water daily. As a child, having an animal is a big responsibility but it is one that makes you learn and grow as a child to become a trusting and caring individual with responsibility in the big world we live in today. To be honest, animals are like family, they make you laugh and smile but their always there for you with unconditional love at the end of a busy day which everyone always needs. I am a true animal lover. I am semi-retired and have enjoyed taking care of dogs/cats all my life. Animals bring so much joy each day. I normally stay at clients home. I always make sure animals are fed and cared for each day. It’s important that they have exercise always.
About: I have two cats of my own who I have taken care of for 4 years! Along with that I frequently walk and dog sit for neighbors who go on vacation! I also volunteer at the nearby animal shelter! I currently only work a part time job some days a week leaving me plenty of time! My work schedule is flexible in case of any emergencies as well! I don’t mind early morning visits or late ones! I’ll follow any instructions given! I’m very patient so if you have a shy pet, no worries! I’ll let them warm up to me no pressure at all! If they want to play, perfect! If they just want to sleep, that’s also okay! I’m super flexible and can adapt to any situation.
“Louie is always happy to see Alexis and she always leaves a detailed and enthusiastic report on their time together. He and the house are always in great shape when we get home.”
About: When I was young I used to have a ton of rescue dogs and it always made me happy having pets to love and comfort. Im currently working a part time jobs and going to college so it’s the perfect hustle since it will not feel like work but instead a little play date! I care for pets in my home I have a big backyard that is fenced it’s perfect for the zoomies and for some play time.
“My kitty was very happy when Megan came. She kept us update with pictures and messages. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our little guy was being taken care of.”
“Vee was a very thorough sitter for my 2 year old cat. She took the time to visit with my cat beforehand and really understand her needs and what she’s used to. Vee sent me plenty of photos and a very detailed follow up note about her visit. My cat is definitely very particular and Vee did a great job caring for her!”
About: Since I was born, I have been surrounded by animals and have discovered my strong love for all types of them. I have had dogs and cats all of my life, and have had my own horse since I was 12. I have utilized the knowledge of veterinary care that I have learned while caring for my own horse with all animals. Caring for and spending time with animals is a passion of mine, and I would love to be able to share that with yours! I am also a Registered Nurse at RWJBarnabas. I work M-F 7:30AM-4PM. Weekends are free, however during the week if your pet needs to be let out during the day I will not be available unless it is before/after work. I’m happy to take your animals for walks outside of their yard, stay with them for the night, etc. I’m flexible and would love to do whatever fits best for your pet!
“Responsible and very responsive sitter! I appreciate Hannah's attention to detail. She was available for a last minute request with this booking and was also able to come for an additional visit so I could extend my vacation. Thank you!!”
“Kristen took great care of my puppy Emma on short notice, she gave me great updates and was super easy to communicate with. Will definitely be using her to care for Emma in the future!”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hopewell stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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 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.
