“Joanna took care of my dog like he was one of her own. He needed some extra TLC, so Joanna went above and beyond to make sure every box was checked. She’s definitely my go-to in a pinch!”
“Taylor was amazing with our dog Oden! He is sometimes reactive to new people but they became fast friends!! He was very communicative and quick to reply. He sent pictures and updates about each visit and even brought in our mail!! We will definitely be booking him again! Thank you so much Taylor! We appreciate you so much.”
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!
“Carly treats my dog as she would her own. She’s patient toward my shy pup and puts in extra effort to make her comfortable. I feel very assured Layla is in great hands when I’m working and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“Kya really helped me out last min to drop in on Grayson . She was lovely and followed instructions- I did feel like my cat was taken care of - I would definitely use and recommend her .”
“Kat is absolutely wonderful with our dog Maggie. She is reliable, communicative and clearly cares about Maggie’s well-being. It gives me great peace of mind knowing Maggie is in such good hands while I am away!”
“When we returned home after 4 days away, Caesar was friendly and happy, so that tells me that Tracy did a nice job visiting, petting and feeding Caesar. Caesar often will not make an appearance for guests but he came right upstairs to see Tracy each visit.”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was eight and my parents gave me a cat. I love animals and walking them is the best part of my day. I work from home right now so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. We are up early to get the kids off to school, then it’s breakfast for the animals followed by a walk. I work at my computer with the dogs napping nearby until it’s time to keep watch for the kids coming home. Sometimes one of the kids will come for a second walk in the afternoon. Otherwise they have a chase/ tug in the backyard. Then it’s time to watch me prepare dinner, snack on the leftover veggies from the kids lunchboxes and finally settle down in the living room to watch a show! The dogs sleep in our bedroom, but we do have a crate if needed. I have two friendly female dogs aged 3 and 4 of small and medium size who love to play but equally love to nap. We have a fenced in yard and lots of trails nearby. The dogs spend most of the day with me and get extra love and fuss when my kids (12 and 15) get home from school.
About: I have been a pet owner for over 30 years and can provide a calm, loving and patient environment for your best friend. I have a large, grassy, fenced in yard for endless zoomies and we live very near trails and pathways for walks. I work very close to home and am currently part-time (6 hours) daily. I live independently and have a pet-friendly home with plenty of space and freedom. I am an early riser and love long walks in most weather. I have a large, fenced-in yard and live near multiple trails for long walks. If I am visiting your home I can spend extra time playing and hanging out with your best friend. I am experienced and confident in administering dog meds and caring for elderly dogs.
“Xingcheng (Connie) looked after my two boys, Bobby and Jack, for 14 days while I was traveling, and she is hands-down the most reliable and best cat sitter I have ever had! She connected with them instantly, played with them regularly, and sent me tons of daily pictures and videos. I always felt completely at ease knowing they were in such excellent care. She gave me regular updates on their food and kept the litter box spotlessly clean. Communication was fantastic throughout the entire stay, so I always knew exactly how they were doing. I will definitely book with Connie again and highly recommend her!”
“Again, Heidi helped us to take great care of our cat. Our cat loves her and really enjoyed her care and loves playing and cuddling with her. In particular, we also enjoyed to get Heidi’s daily video updates of our cat. Thanks!”
“Frida was wonderful with our very shy cat! She tried for 2 days to get him to come out and play and on the third day he did! He played and let her pet him which means he was one happy cat! Frida took good care of him and our house, we highly recommend her and would welcome her back anytime.”
“Carley did a wonderful job watching my dog, Luna. She spent more time with her than I was expecting, took care to give her lots of walks, fed her well, and even straightened up a bit on her way out! I highly recommend her for pet watching needs, particularly if you’ve got an anxious dog like mine.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hopewell
Joanna Z was wonderful. She exceeded our expectations. She was very thorough in her questions and fact finding during the first meeting with her. On her first visit she was able to coax the shy, skittish one of my two kitties out of hiding. By her second visit the pics from the visit showed that he was truly engaged. My cats were lounging in their usual spots with their typical postures which showed that they were content and comfortable. I will definitely request Joanna for all my future pet sitting needs.
Courtney is absolutely wonderful to work with!! Two of our cats are on medication every 12 hours and she jumped in and learned their routine so quickly! She did a fabulous job administering insulin, an inhaler and a pill! Courtney kept us updated and sent cute photos each visit. Thank you Courtney for taking such great care of our kitties, we appreciate you!

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.
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.

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 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.
