“Elizabeth was amazing with our girls. She was very knowledgeable and gave us reassurance with leaving our girls. She provided updates and the girls did fantastic with her. Dogs know good people when they meet them and Elizabeth is Good people. Would definitely book with her again!!”
“I am so happy to have connected with Isabelle on Rover! I've had some questionable sitters before and I'm so relieved to have found a reliable person with great communication! Will definitely be booking again. 🐾”
“Katy did great with Kirby and she sent us updates while staying at our house, which we appreciated. We got lots of pictures which was very reassuring too. We would definitely book Katy for future stays and I think Kirby would be happy to see her again!”
“Nicole was everything I was looking for to take care of my Toby. He is very skittish and it take awhile for him to warm up to anyone. Nicole got right on the floor to get to know him and he was slowly getting close to her. She would send a text if she had questions. I will most definitely hire Nicole again. We really hit it off!”
“We loved having Lilly watch our two dogs. She took wonderful care of them and the house, while we were gone for a week. She was thoughtful and the dogs were very happy! We will be using her services again.”
“Maggie is outstanding!! She stayed with our Pit bull and two cats who were happy and content when we returned home?. Maggie took great care, and updated us with photos and comments about how our pets were doing, which we loved!”
“Ryan saved the day. I was nervous about traveling with a senior dog at home in less than perfect health. Ryan kept me apprised throughout the duration of my trip, and gave a level of reassurance that my dog was in good hands. No offense to my former boarding kennel, but I wish I met Ryan years ago. Thanks again!”
“Wonderful experience! Great with our dog and cat. Was so nice to leave them with someone to get love and attention while we were away. Thank you for loving on our pets, providing photos, taking care of our home and being so wonderful to work with!!”
“We really lucked out finding Amy! She accommodated our last-minute request and immediately put us at ease with her understanding of Milo’s reactivity and his individual needs. She took wonderful care of him and left our house clean and well-maintained. The sweet “welcome back” note and homemade gift she left were such a thoughtful touch! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and reliable dog sitter. We’d absolutely book with her again!”
“Paige did a great job of keeping me updated on my fur baby while I was working all day. She made me feel at ease when she sent me lots of photos and kept giving me updates! Thank you!”
“What a truly exceptional experience we had with Howie. This was our first time having Howie stay at our home to care for our rescue beagle Gigi and start-to-finish Howie had warm and loving attention to Gigi, great care of our home, and excellent communication and pictures. We fully recommend!”
“Another excellent trip with Elaine watching our reactive pups! She gets that they are super slow to warm up and even worked on some socialization with her new puppy. Excellent!! Thank you! We will book again.”
About: My wife and I love watching dogs. I grew up with dogs of different breeds my entire life. My family has owned large breeds (GSP, Munsterlander, Vizsla, Golden Retriever, German Shepard) and small breeds (Cavachon). I have been responsible for their care and training. I work from home, so your dog will not be left home alone. I am very active and will walk your dog several times per day. I work from home on Monday-Friday, so your dog will not get lonely. I walk dogs several times a day and will to take them to dog parks or swimming if requested by the owner. I groom and bathe dogs as necessary.
“Sam was great! Our girls can be a handful with a lot of energy but he handled them like a champ. When we came home they didn’t give us the stink eye so we know they liked him. 😂”
“Dannie did such an amazing job with my sweet Pax while I was out of town! He’s a slow-moving older guy who needs some extra TLC and I can tell he was wonderfully cared for by Dannie and loved having a new friend to spend the weekend with! My house was so clean and in wonderful shape when I got home, I would absolutely recommend Dannie and can’t wait for Pax to see her on our next booking!”
“Hisham was a great house sitter,he stayed at my house and took care of my dog and three cats. His communication was excellent, I received daily photos of the pets. He walked my dog every day and snuggled the cats a lot. He was very responsible, and one of the best things was before we got home he not only stripped the bed but washed the sheets and re-put them on, and vacuumed the house! Very impressive, will be using him again for sure.”

Maria was so great with Derby! The numerous pics she sent showed Derby doing the same funny, sweet things she does when we are at home, so I knew she felt loved and safe! Maria kept us informed of how Derby was doing and asked questions when needed. Our house was immaculate when we returned as well! We would book Maria again in a heartbeat!
Michelle stayed with our 2 miniature Dachshunds for the first time this past weekend and I couldn't have felt more comfortable. She sent many photos and updates throughout her stay and I could see how relaxed our dogs were. She definitely has a generous amount of love to give to your pets.
Abigail watched our dog, Leo, over the weekend and did a fantastic job. She checked in frequently, kept us updated, and made sure Leo got plenty of attention, including several walks and quality time throughout her stay. From the very first time she met Leo, it was clear she genuinely cared about him and showed both compassion and patience. We felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands, and we appreciated the consistent communication while we were away. We would gladly have Abigail watch Leo again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Stephanie stayed in our home and cared for our dog for two weeks while we traveled internationally. During the time we were gone we received regular updates, including pictures, which meant a lot when traveling for so long. When we got home we found a freshly cleaned house and a very happy dog, with some new enrichment activity toys thanks to Stephanie. I can highly recommend Stephanie as a house/ dog sitter. She is very skilled, and deeply cares for animals. We will definitely book with her again.
How fortunate was I to find Teresa. She provided all the TLC for my pups they needed and more. One dog has special medical needs and she handled them perfectly. I could tell from the photos she sent me that my pups were content and responded to her in ways only I would understand. Book Teresa and you will have assurance and peace of mind.
Megan was an amazing sitter. We both met before the actual start of care and I loved her. I reached out last minute for a travel plan and she met all my expectations in my home. In my opinion, SHE IS THE BEST and will care for your pet like you do. I will definitely be booking her again!! 🐾❤️🐾
We cannot say enough good things about Mollie! First time using a pet sitter for us. Mollie stayed at our home and took the best care of our three cats. She literally had my big bashful Maine Coon eating out of her hand. Literally 😹😹😹 Mollie knows how to work with cats and doesn’t force interaction which goes along way with them. Two cats were following her around basically the whole time she was here, a sleeping and snuggling with her. She sent plenty of photos and updates and was willing to accommodate anything we asked her to do. Tuna, Leo and Frank have been asking when we are going on vacation again so they can hang out with Mollie again😹

The average cost of House Sitting in Hopkins is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $77 per night. 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.

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 Hopkins 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 Hopkins 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 Hopkins 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 , 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 .
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 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.
