“Chris was an excellent pup sitter for our black lab. We were nervous to leave our boy and it was our first time having a stranger in our home to care for him. Chris was kind and patient with Cayde and gave us frequent updates on how things were going. Chris put us at ease and left the home as he found it. We'd definitely have him return for future in-home pet sitting!!”
“Wes was amazing! He was very conscientious and caring of our pups. I think he took on a little more than he expected with our situation but he was such a trooper and made us feel very comfortable leaving our fur babies for two and a half weeks in his care! He sent us photos every day so we could see our pups were happy and well cared for! He also did an awesome job watching over my house and taking care of my plants! I would highly recommend him! And would definitely book him again! Thanks so much!”
“Wow! Alex was wonderful. Communicative, respectful, left our house nest and tidy and took such good care of our pets. I hope we get to work with her again and feel blessed to have found her.”
About: I am extremely detailed oriented and very observant. I sense when animals need something different and will always tend to their needs first over anything. I can chill with them or play forever and anything in between. I work 5-6 days a week with and average of 6 hours a day. My schedule is pretty set to only working mornings and being off work around 11am to 12:30pm. After that I am free and available! I am more than able to be in your home and you never question that I was there. I leave places cleaner than what I found them and make sure all the boxes were checked that are expected of me.
“Our second time booking Alyssa and it was just as great as the first. She’s so patient with our little rescue Chiweenie and will absolutely be our go-to sitter going forward. I’d give her 100 stars if I could. ❤️”
About: We are a duo who help others with their pets! My name is Desiree, and my partner’s name is Tyler. We are adventurous! Often, we fill our free time with hikes, walks around cities, and exploring parks. We would love to take your dogs on these walks too! I grew up around animals—anything from rabbits, mice, cats, and dogs to some exotics like raccoons. As a kid, I would rehabilitate animals like deer or wild rabbits. I feel we need to look out for our little friends, as the world is hard for everyone. Being kind is important to me. I have experience with basic dog training, teaching good leash behavior, and giving extra care to older dogs! I'm comfortable with giving medicine, or going the extra mile to help upkeep their health, may it be brushing teeth, giving baths, or grooming. Our goal is to provide the best, and perfect routine for your pets while you're away that would match closely to what you would do in your daily life to assure max comfort for your animals. We currently go to school online, so we are very flexible with our time and since two of us are on duty, we can always give attention! We mainly care for them in your home, and this is very flexible to how you would want them cared for. We love to follow exact instructions, or approximate instructions. Whichever you want to provide. We want your trip away from home to be stress free, and confident your pet is getting treated with the utmost care and love.
“Had a wonderful experience with Rachel. Kindly offered an initial meet + greet. Pups and house appeared well maintained upon our return. We received some regular updates throughout the stay. Grateful for her help and would absolutely book again.”
“Great communication. Our Great Weimaremer, Hugo, who can be discerning around men, loved Phillip. At the meet and greet Hugo was ready to go home with him! ;>) Everything left neat and tidy and animals were well-cared for.”
“Selena took great care of our dogs!! She was great at communicating, the dogs were very happy and the house was tidy when we got back :) we would definitely have Selena watch our dogs again”
“Fantastic experience with Mariah! She was attentive, caring and responsive. She took great care of my dog and home while we were away for a night. I will definitely hire her again. Highly recommend!”
“We were in a real bind to get a sitter and she was able to help us at the last minute. She took great care of both of our dogs and even washed some of their blankets while we were gone. Would recommend her again!”
“Xavie is great, this was the first time we have ever hired someone out side of family/friends and she put our mind at ease caring for our girl. We loved all the updates and photos she sent, they made us feel comfortable knowing she was in great hands. I would love to book with her again in the future.”
About: I'm an animal lover. I had dogs and cats and mainly had just dogs/cats in the past. I've always wanted to take care of animals. Even starting out as a walker/sitter it’s fun to be able to help I live in a house with a yard and they do allow animals. I will make sure they will not be able to escape. I will never forget to feed them. Play with them. Take them out whenever they need to go. I will keep the owners up to date with everything involving their pets. I have a small back patio but the place does have a big dog park! I do want to put that making a list of things that you normally would do with your pet, fill free to write down and tell me. Any questions at all ask me. Please review on booking me. Currently unemployed and my first time being pregnant! So I am looking into making some income someway before starting back up work but I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! And or cats! I’m available for walking/ check ins any time of day(I’ll be a bit slow but definitely high energy for the furry ones! I’m great at providing whatever needs fit, either high energy for a young pup or a low casual exercise for those senior babies lol :) If I were to care for someone’s pet in their home I’d make sure to bring extra items for their pets like extra food bowls, walking harnesses/leashes or food.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for family pets, including our two Chihuahuas and my sister’s Labrador. I’ve also spent time around cats through friends and roommates. I enjoy walking dogs, playing with pets, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. My background as a supervisor and coach has taught me responsibility, communication, and consistency, and I bring those same qualities to pet care. I’m comfortable with feeding, administering basic medications, playtime, companionship, and keeping owners updated with pictures and messages. I have a flexible schedule throughout most of the day. My mornings and evenings are typically spent coaching rugby and working out, but outside of those times I have plenty of availability for dog walks, drop in visits, cat care, and house sitting. I enjoy staying active and love spending time with animals, whether that means going for a walk, playing, or simply providing companionship and care while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves patience, attention, and a safe environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from owners. I prioritize safety by keeping dogs leashed during walks, making sure doors and gates are secure, and paying attention to each pet’s comfort and needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I've been taking care of my families pets as well as the pets of my friends, and neighbors since I was a kid! We never had less than three animals in the house and would always watch over our neighbors pets when they were gone. I have also worked as a pet sitter for many other families in a more professional setting. Taking care of animals isnt always clean or easy but its worth it to me to see them happy. I do my best to treat your pets like family knowing that I would want the same treatment for my cat when I rely on someone to watch her! I am not available in the mornings unless I am taking care of them across multiple days. I am available in the afternoon and evenings both during the week and weekends. I am not able to keep your pets in my home because I have a very non-friendly cat. However I am more than happy to spend an afternoon with them at the park, take them on a short walk, or just stop in to make sure they are doing ok. I am also able to stay at your home or check on your pets multiple times per day if you will be out of town.
“Natalya was very friendly, communicative, and took good care of the pets and house. I really appreciated her picture updates, and she even took my dog on an extra trip to the park! Would definitely re-book”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,341 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.

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.
