She was friendly, on time, and very professional. She was calm and patient and came out to do a meet and greet with the dog and discuss any concerns that I may have had.I would highly recommend her to anybody that wants to use her.

Emily was absolutely hands-down the best sitter we've ever hired. She was amazing at being punctual for our daily drop-ins, and keeping up daily communication to let us know how things were going. We have a special needs cat that needed extra attention and a long to-do list that comes with the job, and she handled it so easily and professionally! I would highly recommend to anyone with high anxiety about their pets!

Hana is amazing! She’s so flexible and understanding when it comes to schedules and demands of each animal in the home. She truly cares about our animals (she will leave our tv on for our dog so she isn’t lonely) and does enrichment treats without us even asking her to. I trust her with our babies 100%

Darnell was great with our fur babies! He was super thorough and made sure everything was taken care of each visit. We felt so comforted knowing that, while we were away from home, Darnell was checking in on them, spending some time with them, and taking care of everything they needed. He was also quick to communicate if anything came up and we really appreciated that as well! It’s hard to find a pet sitter with whom you feel totally safe leaving your pets, but Darnell is definitely a sitter that I would request again after seeing how well he treated ours :)

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and currently have two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels of my own, so I’m very familiar with the day-to-day responsibility that comes with looking after a pet. From feeding schedules and medication to exercise, playtime, and keeping to their routines, I understand how important consistency is. I also grew up with larger breeds including Labrador Retrievers, Rottweilers, and Golden Retrievers, so I’m confident and comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals rather than just “checking in” on them. Since I naturally spend a lot of time at home, I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention, companionship, and care while you’re away. My goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you’re back home. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m often available for walks, drop-in visits, or house sitting throughout the week. I also work as a personal trainer, so there are occasional times I’m with clients, but I’ll always communicate my availability clearly before accepting a booking. I enjoy spending time with dogs, so I’m happy to build my day around giving them the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I’ve had dogs my whole life, from Cavaliers to larger breeds like Labs, Goldens, and Rottweilers, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and energy levels. I know every dog has their own routine, preferences, and sometimes medical or dietary needs, and I make it a priority to follow your instructions as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m naturally calm, patient, and attentive, so I’m happy working with shy, energetic, senior, or more nervous dogs. I keep a close eye on changes in behaviour, make sure they’re always safe, and give them plenty of affection, playtime, walks, or quiet company depending on what they enjoy most. If they’re ready for a nap, I’m equally happy to sit nearby and work on my laptop so they still have someone keeping them company.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets. I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping your fur baby company. Being able to care for them doesn’t feel like a job—it feels like spending time with some of the most pure and loving souls. I am currently full time military but I have no problem making time for the fur babies specially on the weekends! I am willing to work with you if you can work with me. I currently have no pets but I care for animals in your home as well as make sure your home is the way you left it and with your fur baby/babies there and happy.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends and coworkers for about two years, and volunteered at the local pet shelter during high school. I grew up around lots of dogs and cats, I owned a cat growing up who is now 14 years old, and adopted my first dog six years ago! I currently work full time but have the ability to check in on your furry friends in the morning, around noon, and in the evening, in addition to house sitting on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs who can be crated and kept separate from other animals when necessary, and there are multiple rooms in the house in case space is needed.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old and I am 22 now. I consider dogs to be one of the many keys to happiness so I treat them as such. Whether that be long walks in the neighborhood, endless cuddles, or a friend to play with, they get what they need. I have never discriminated against a dog based on size or breed because all dogs deserve love and care no matter what. I take care of my dogs to the best of my ability so I will always do the same for others. You can be assured that they are in good hands. So if you need someone to love and care for your dog when you're not there I'm your girl! I am currently the primary care taker for my family dog, Raine. This includes walks 2x day, feedings, bath, etc. I ensure he takes his medicine, has lots of play time and clean bedding. I do not currently care for other dogs in my home. However, in my client’s home I ensure that the space is clear and void of anything that could bring harm to their pets. I make sure to regularly check up on them and listen to their needs.

About: I have had extensive hands on experience caring for pets, beginning with my own animals and expanding to those of friends and family. Over the years, I’ve been responsible for feeding, walking, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Having owned my own pets, I understand how important routine, patience, and attention are to an animal’s wellbeing. This personal experience has helped me become reliable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about providing the same level of care to every pet I watch. I have plenty of time and flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care while dog sitting and caring for pets of all needs every day confidently. I provide loving, attentive pet care in my own home or in clients’ homes, following each pet’s routine, giving treats, affection, playtime, and a safe, comfortable environment.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hopewell on Rover is $14.43 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,501 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hopewell. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.

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.
