“This was the first time I used Barry, and I was extremely pleased with his kindness and the great job he took care of my dogs on such short notice. He even did a meet and great before I went out of town. I will be requesting him to watch my dogs again in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of big & small dogs and even cats of many kinds & sizes too. Whatever is needed, I make sure it gets done properly and that the animals are happy. This is something for me to do in my free time, I work part time and am going to school. I can be flexible with notice. I have a very large property for dogs to run around on, however it is not fenced so a leash or something is needed for when outside.
About: I love all dogs very much! I have always had a dog my entire life and I think I always will! I am a very active person so I will play and walk as long as your dog desires! I used to nanny quite often in 2019 and 2020 but things got busy when I got pregnant again so I’m ready to jump back in and take care of your pets! I am available Monday-Thursday 9am-11am and some afternoons sometimes and some Saturdays sporadically. I know how to cuddle, play, run, and love your babies as much as you do! They will be very well loved and taken care of as I have 2 dogs and one kitty of my own and I have 3 kids who love animals! I am a SAHM and pick up my kiddos at different times so I’m on the road a bit which is perfect so I can come and help out your fur babies! I always keep a very close eye on your furry friends and will make sure they are safe at all times! I love to give animals love and attention that they need!
About: I’ve always believed that pets deserve to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, especially when their people are away. I have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. I’m attentive to the little things, whether that’s making sure they get their medication, sticking to their normal schedule, giving them plenty of love and attention, or noticing when something just seems a little off. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job—it’s making sure you can be away knowing your pets are happy, cared for, and in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly schedule because animals are already a big part of my everyday life. I’m comfortable working around different routines and making sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I plan my schedule ahead of time so I can give the pets I’m caring for the time and attention they deserve rather than making them feel like they’re being squeezed into a busy day. My goal is to make their care feel consistent, calm, and as close to their normal routine as possible. Your pets deserve more than just someone stopping by—they deserve someone who genuinely cares about them. I provide loving, dependable in-home pet care tailored to your pet’s normal routine and individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and needs, including providing medications and keeping a close eye on their behavior and well-being. During visits, I’ll make sure your pets are fed, have fresh water, get potty breaks and exercise, and receive plenty of attention and affection. I’ll also keep their space clean and give you updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️

“Joshua went above and beyond what we asked. He not only came to feed, give our dog water, and let her out; he worked on commands, spent extra time with our dog, and made sure she was a happy pup by the time he left. Amazing pictures and videos too! We will always be booking with Joshua!”
About: I have been a dog sitter for the past 3 years. My experience has been from small dogs like yorkies to even bigger dogs like like Newfoundlands. I have also have experience dog sitting dogs who have just undergone surgery, who are deaf, and have other medicinal conditions. It is very important to me, to give them extra care and have them in their preferred environment. I am more than happy to stay at a home, to make it the best possible environment for the dog(s). I am a part time worker, recently graduated from Ferris State University. I have moved to Grand Rapids full time. With my availability, I am able to offer dog sitting, walking, and check ins services. I will dog sit at your own home. I have been doing that for the past three years and I have learned that it’s a more comfortable environment for not only me but the dog(s). I always make sure to meet your dog beforehand, if possible and learn more about their schedule.
About: **Beginning 9/22/26 we will be taking a few months hiatus as we welcome our first baby! If you are one of our routine clients, feel free to message us anyway as we may be ready to take dogs sooner - you never know 😊** I moved away from the New England area during the pandemic and came to the Midwest where I didn’t know anyone. Back home, I had friends and family begging me to go on vacation so they could dog sit my dog, but here, without knowing too many people, finding a dog sitter was a really difficult ordeal. Thankfully, Rover and other apps helped, especially when I was able to travel again. I'm looking to help out in the same way this app and others helped me. I live in a large home with my wife Kelly, two dog friendly cats, and a very chill dog of our own. Pearl and Boy are our orange kitties and Candy is a 55lb brown lab mix. Candy and I used to be a certified therapy animal team when we had more time on our hands. All three animals love company (mostly human company but other animals are more than welcome, too) so your pet will definitely not be alone while you're away between us five. We do have a fenced-in yard and all dogs are welcome to roam the entire house - especially if you also allow that in your home. But if your animal needs their own space, we have a loft area, the yard, and various dog beds to decompress throughout the house. The old owners of our home used to be dog breeders and the home came with amenities specifically catered to hosting dogs. While we don’t and won’t breed ourselves, these features of the home make a great dog-friendly home for any pet while you’re away! We both work full time but Kelly is home three days a week and I’m home the other two. Typically my day revolves around when I should take the dogs out anyway. Usually one walk around 7am, another around noon, another around 5 when I get back and one before bed. How we care for your pet will be completely up to you and how you normally care for them. The goal is to keep the disruption of a routine to a minimum while treating your dog to a change of scenery and a new friend
“If I could leave ten stars I would. Halle is simply the most intuitive, most attentive, and most caring sitters that my two cats have had the pleasure of spending time with. I cannot recommend Halle more favorably!”

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hopkins is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $34 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,725 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hopkins. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , 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 Hopkins. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
