“Elizabeth was a wonderful pet and house sitter for us and would heartily recommend her to others. She was great with our elderly cat, who was happy and calm upon our return. She had clear, frequent, and professional communication that helped us enjoy our time away, knowing all was well at home.”
“Samantha was terrific with my quirky dog. She learned his vibes and personality quickly and worked well with him. She kept me informed, cleaned up after herself, and I would absolutely hire her again.”
“Kelly was an awesome sitter for our dog with separation anxiety! It was our first time booking and she couldn’t have been more accommodating. Kelly sent frequent updates and photos to keep us informed while we were away. We’d recommend her to anyone.”
“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. 🐾”
“Nicole took care of our house, dog and cat during a winter storm for 3 days. Not only were the animals well cared for but she even went above and beyond, shoveling our walkway. She has certainly earned our trust and future business. Thanks!”
“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!”
“Summer was so great from meet-and-greet through the stay with my two pups. I appreciated the prompt communication and could see my dogs had a great time while I was away. Thank you!”
“Our boy Hagrid absolutely adored Andy! She took amazing care of him and our home, and sent plenty of pictures while we were away. Highly recommend and would definitely book again for future trips!”
“Brooke was stellar in her communication! I was getting pics and descriptions of what my dogs were up to. Let me know when they ate, how they did on their walks, and how much she enjoyed them. I would highly recommend Brooke for any of your pups' needs!!”
“Skai did a fabulous job taking care of our toy poodle for 4 days. We did a meet and greet with her and our dog immediately warmed right up to her. Skai was warm and caring and a fabulous communicator sending us updates and photos daily. We arrived home to a happy dog and a very clean house. You wouldn't have even known she was here. I highly recommend Skai and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“I absolutely cannot say enough wonderful things about Molly! Having Molly staying in my home for 3 nights with Willie allowed me to be worry-free while out of town. Molly has a great personality, she obviously loves dogs, and she is an incredibly responsible house sitter. I came home to a house that was cleaner than when I left it (NOT an expectation at all) and a happy, fulfilled, relaxed Willie. Molly provided many daily updates with fun photos of her walks, playtime, and snuggles with Willie, which gave me even more peace of mind! I would gladly have Molly stay in my home again - any time. And Willie says, “Woof woof! Me too!””
“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.”
“Nancy is awesome! She tended to my pup like it was her own. She provided plenty of love and attention including daily walks, playtime and cuddles. She kept me updated with daily pics and texts, and left our house in pristine condition. She's a keeper!”
“Savanna was great with my pup. Provided lots of updates throughout the visit. She was also super helpful in bringing in mail that was delivered. I would highly recommend Savanna to those looking for a great provider.”
“Kristen is truly a phenomenal pet sitter and all-around wonderful person! She took care of our dog, cat, and fish for nearly two weeks while we were on vacation—and went above and beyond by also tending to our home and garden. We’ve entrusted our pets to Kristen for several years now, and every time we leave, we can rest easy knowing they’re in her incredibly capable and caring hands. She’s responsible, communicative, and genuinely kind to our animals. We feel so lucky to have found her!”
“Lindsay was wonderful with our high energy Australian Shepherd. She sent pictures each day and even watered some plants for me without being asked when they were looking dry. She went above and beyond what was needed and we felt very confident she would be there for our pets.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hopkins
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😹

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
