“Where to begin on the awesomeness of Holli? This woman basically single-handedly saved my entire vacation multiples times through the period that she dog/housesat for me. Last minute replacement for my original dogsitter (who was having a bit of a mental breakdown)? Handled. Fire alarms go off and my apartment got water in it? Handled. Holli rolled with the punches, taking care of my apartment AND my dog (who LOVES her and had a super fun week). She even gave Livy a good brushing, and she looks BEAUTIFUL! I will definitely be booking with her again. She's a lifesaver.”

“We had Susan come stay with our pup for a long weekend and it was wonderful. She took time before we left to meet us and our pup and really took note of all the details of his routine, like and dislikes. We got pics while we were gone and can honestly say I didn’t have a moments worry. Susan was great and will definitely use her again.”

“Thank you so much to Joanna! I came home to happy and relaxed pups, who received thoughtful care and loving attention. My home was spotless. Joanna provided me with great communication, updates and pictures throughout her stay. We are so extremely grateful because Joanna was able to step in at the last minute. We would definitely recommend her, and I hope to be able to book her as a sitter again.”

“Simply put, Joey was outstanding, both with his care of Pablo as well as management of our home while staying here. As a person, he’s a young man of high integrity who is kind, thoughtful, and detail oriented! He loves dogs; kept me posted with text and pics; and maintains a positive and loving temperament. He exceeded my expectations and would give him my highest recommendation!”

“We are new to the country and Rover app . Therefore had fair share of doubts with regard to leaving our pet Madder . Our experience with Emma has rested all our doubts. Her skills, smiling and affable demeanor instantly lifted our spirits and our confidence bounced right back. Emma updated us with pics and videos of our pet and her reassuring words made our day out, stress free and delightful. We look forward to her services again. Thank you Emma and team Rover .”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’ve fostered 8 cats and 1 dog to date, helping them adjust to new environments and getting them ready for their forever home. I also have two cats of my own and two family cats, so I understand the care, attention, and patience they need. I’m also the go to pet sitter for my friends whenever they’re away. I’m also a certified sitter through Southeastern Guide Dogs, where I’ve cared for and trained puppies and service dogs in training. This has really shown me how to work with dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I know every pet is unique and I really take the time to understand their needs and personality. I want to make sure your pet is comfortable and cared for, giving you peace of mind and lots of pictures while you’re away! I recently graduated, so I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate my time to caring for pets. Between pet sitting and other flexible work, my routine revolves around the pets I’m caring for, not the other way around. This means I have plenty of availability for drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, and can easily adapt to your pet’s normal routine! As of right now, I am only able to provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay where they’re most comfortable, but also to ensure that my own cats, who are nervous around other pets, remain comfortable. When caring for your pet, I treat both your home and your baby with the same respect and attention I do my own. I carefully following feeding schedule, medication instructions, walking routines, and any other care preferences you provide. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I take the time to learn their personality, comfort level, and routine so they feel safe while you’re away. Safety really is my number one priority. I’ll make sure doors, gates, windows, and any other areas are secure. I’ll be sure to keep your pet in approved areas, look out for any changes in behavior or health, and send lots and lots of pictures and videos!

About: I can take on the most hyper of dogs (I have one myself). I understand the high demand of a hyper dog and am ready to walk and play with your furry friend! I can also care for small critters! I work 2p-10p full time as a behavior specialist with individuals with autism. I am available most mornings and am available for overnights after 10pm! I always ensure that my pets have everything they need: lots of love, an extra long walk on sunny days, toys to play with, and food that meets their diets needs.

“Ryan was great! She stayed with our "pups" (as she cutely called them) for almost a week. Right from the start she sent texts, photos, and a sense that all was under control. Meeting her before the stay both her experience as a student working towards going to vet school and as a horse owner sealed the deal. We'd happily use her again.”

About: I am an avid lover of animals, having cared for my own and others’ pets for over 4 decades. I currently am the proud mother of one human, two cats, four chinchillas, a hermit crab and a beautiful Beta fish. Over the years I have also had turtles, guinea pigs, rabbits, and dogs! I am available for petcare indoors and out, whether you are looking for occasional service or routine. I do think it is important to build trust with your pet(s) and am happy to take the time to do so. I am happy to walk your dog(s) in all kinds of weather! I am comfortable administering medicine and care taking your exotic pets too. During the school year I teach middle school science, where I help youngsters to develop a comfort with and love for living things, indoors and out! My daytime availability during the school year is reduced as a result...

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with about 6 years of occasional experience helping family, friends, and private clients with dog sitting and house sitting. I offer overnight house sitting and drop-in visits, making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walks, basic grooming, and giving medications when needed. I’ve cared for a range of dogs, from small terriers to larger breeds like Labs and Staffordshire/pit bull mixes, and I’m comfortable adjusting to different energy levels and personalities. Along with pet care, I also help with light house tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping things tidy while you’re away. I currently have a mini lop bunny at home, so I’m also familiar with small animal care and the extra gentleness and attention they need. Since I can’t have a dog of my own right now, I love being able to spend time with other people’s pets and give them attention and care while their owners are away. My schedule is flexible, but I do work a full-time Monday–Friday job. I’m remote two days a week, which gives me extra flexibility for drop-in visits, walks, and pet care during the workday when needed. For overnight stays, I can adjust my routine to stay in the home and make sure pets are kept on their normal schedule with consistent care and attention. I’m also available for morning, evening, and weekend care depending on what’s needed. I like to plan my time around the pet’s routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable, cared for, and not disrupted while their owners are away. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I always prioritize keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific house rules. I’m very mindful about safety. I make sure doors are secured, pets are supervised during walks, and nothing unsafe is left within reach. I also take care to keep the home clean and respectful, and I treat every home like it’s my own. If I’m doing overnight stays, I make sure pets feel comfortable and not alone, especially at night. I also stay attentive to any changes in behavior and communicate right away if anything seems off. With pets in general, I’m calm, patient, and detail-oriented, and I always aim to make sure both the pets and the home are well cared for while owners are away.

“Kat was fantastic with our very anxious dog. We had planned a 5-night trip months ago, but didn't have a dog sitter in the area that we knew. After finding Kat on Rover, she came over several times in advance to get to know our 9-year-old dog and was so patient with her when it took her some time to warm up to her. When the trip came, we felt confident it would go well. Kat stayed at our house while we were away and made sure our dog was comfortable despite numerous thunder storms that week. She sent updates to let us know how things were going. We're so grateful for the care she provided and are so thrilled we now have someone local who we can call on in the future!”

About: I have owned boxers my whole life so I am fully capable of handling large and unruly babies. I have my own 85lb goofball and we live in an apartment so I walk him multiple times a day. I have also pet sat neighbors dogs all growing up. I would love to help care for your baby! I have a completely free schedule so I can care for your pets when you need me to! I am available to house sit as long as my husband is in town since I do have a boxer of my own at home. I can stay overnight if you prefer your baby/babies to not be left alone. Or I can do pop in visits as frequently as you like. I am always respectful of your space and your routine. I want your pet to be as comfortable as possible in your absence!

About: When I’m not at work, I spend most of my time with our 9 year old rescue dog Cooper, or spending time going on walks as a family. In my spare time, I’ve had the pleasure of fostering 7 rescue dogs in our home until they all were matched with a loving family and their forever homes❤️. Lover of all animals (cats included, although I cannot pet them due to allergies🤧). I enjoy getting to meet and take care of all sorts of pets on Rover. I’ve even had the chance to feed a families horses while they were away on vacation. If your fuzzy family member needs a babysitter, a nice walk, or anything in between then feel free to send me a message! Currently open 7 days a week for availability. Feel free to reach out regarding availability or with any questions, and I’m also happy to do a meet and greet if preferred. For high energy dogs I have taken them on neighborhood walks, hikes, or played toys with them. I always let the pet parent guide me on what their dog is up for. We have a senior dog gentleman of our own, so for dogs with a milder temperament I am happy to take them on short walks or can hang inside with them if that’s more their speed.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hopewell

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Hopewell on Rover is $111 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,829 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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
