“Donna did a great job for us while we were out of town. She provided great care for our dog and house while sitting for us. Our dog immediately warmed up to Donna and accepted her as part of her pack. Donna conducted timely walks with our dog and provided daily feedback on what was happening.”
“Jessica was great! She stayed at my apartment with my mina for a couple of days while I went out of town. Mina got a few walks and Jessica even cuddled with her and administered her medicine (which is no easy feat). They had a great time and Jessica sent many photos throughout her stay. She left my apartment in great order. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“We had such a great experience! She took amazing care of Morty and made us feel completely comfortable leaving him with her. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was happy and well taken care of. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we were away. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets!”
“We had a great experience and couldn’t be happier with the care provided for our pets! He stayed at our home for three nights and was professional, reliable, and respectful of our home throughout the entire stay. We returned to find everything just as we left it, which gave us peace of mind. It’s not always easy trusting someone with your pets and your home, but he made the experience stress free. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with him again for future trips!”
“Carol and her son Avery were hands down the best sitter I’ve come across. Avery completed an in-home sitting with my dog Beau. The love and care he gave truly made me feel safe while I was out of town. I would recommend Carol and Avery to anyone!”
“This was a last minute booking. We had to leave for NJ when my father died and Kelly stepped up for us. She did a wonderful job taking care of our three dogs. One has diabetes and needs insulin shots twice a day and is also blind. Kelly had no problems with the shots or with bonding with our babies. She kept us updated, which was wonderful. Kelly even did some unexpected cleaning during her down time, which was unexpected, but so appreciated. I would not hesitate to recommend Kelly and would definitely use her again in the future.”
“Jylesha is amazing. She is communicative and works with you to make sure your pets are loved and taken care of. Whenever she stays over watching the pets she makes sure to clean up after herself so your pets are happy and the place is clean when you return.”
“This was the first time we used a house sitter thru Rover.com and the experience with Jordyn B. was outstanding. We received regular updates and photos and the three dogs; Raylan (2 years), Riley (one year), and Olive (14 years) really seemed to enjoy her and being able to stay in friendly environs. I can recommend Jordyn wholeheartedly and we will definitely use her again when we are out of town and need a sitter..”
“Chrisztina was amazing with my pet furry boys. She sent me videos and pictures every day. She understood that Oscar has never being boarded or left our sides since he was two months old. Charlie was adjusted fine. Oscar likes to follow us around the house or he is in his home. I believe he knew that we left him as he followed Chrisztina everywhere too. I love Chrisztina for her get go personality. She really does care care about animals. Also, she’s very reasonable, too reasonable. She should increase her fee.”
“Taylor is AWESOME! She arrived and we did a quick meet and greet with our Sweet Trio! She jumped right in and they adored her! Handled our 3 as a pro and kept us updated on their daily antics. We will absolutely again reach out to Taylor future sittings!”
“Amy was absolutely wonderful! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to stay with our three dogs over the weekend. She was incredibly attentive and kept us updated throughout the weekend, letting us know how each of them was doing. It made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our time away knowing they were happy and being so well cared for. You can tell Amy genuinely loves animals, and our dogs were clearly comfortable with her. We’ll absolutely be asking her to stay with them again and I know they’ll be excited to see her soon!”
“Bridget stayed in our house and took care of our three doggies for 8 days while we were gone. We are so happy to have found her! She did a great job and we feel confident that the dogs were loved and well-cared for while we were away. We returned home to a clean house and happy pups. She kept in touch with us during our trip with photos and was very responsive whenever we reached out to her. We will absolutely hire her again and I definitely would recommend her to anyone we know! Thanks Bridget!”
“Elise went way above and beyond while house sitting for us over an extended vacation. She took care of everything while we were gone and kept us up to date. We came home to a happy dog and lizard. I would highly recommend Elise and will definitely request her help again.”
“Kayla was amazing!! She watched my two dogs at our house for a week and took great care of them!! She was fast with communicating and always updating me with cute pictures of my boys!! I will definitely be using her again!!”
“As soon as I met Loren I felt completely comfortable leaving our 15 month old pampered Coton de Tulear with her. She sent me great pictures that showed Moppie was relaxed and happy. I would not hesitate to get her to dog sit again!”
About: I have professional experience working at a veterinary kennel and am trained in proper medication and subcutaneous fluid administration. I also know how to work with anxious, elderly, and disabled pets. I love getting to know each pet’s personal needs and quirks in order to give them the best care possible! I am a recent college graduate and am doing pet sitting full time! This means I will be able to schedule my days around your pet‘s needs. My care includes feeding, walking, continuation of training, and giving pets all the love they deserve! I will be at your house as much as I can to give your pet the best experience. I am willing to help pets that need assistance getting around the house or that have other special needs. Overall, I want to create as safe, comforting, and loving of a space as possible for your pets while you’re away.
About: I've always believed that every pet has their own unique personality, and one of my favorite parts of pet sitting is getting to know who they are. I love talking to animals (yes, I know they talk back in their own way!) and learning what makes each one happy! Whether they're goofy, shy, energetic, cuddly, or a little dramatic. I grew up volunteering at local animal shelters with my family once a month and have continued that tradition into my adulthood. I am known as the "go-to sitter", among close family and friends, and now as a recent college graduate, (with some extra time on my hands) I would love to take my passion and serve other pet families as well. I genuinely enjoy keeping pets active and entertained. I love going on walks and exploring different neighborhoods, parks, and walking trails, so if your dog enjoys an adventure, we'll have plenty together! I'm also happy to play games, provide enrichment, or simply relax with pets who prefer a quieter day, as I too love a good snuggle on the couch! I have experience administering medications and carefully following care instructions, so I'm comfortable caring for senior pets or animals with medical needs. I understand how important consistency is, and I always make sure medications, feeding schedules, and routines are followed exactly as instructed. I also offer house sitting, so your pets can stay comfortable in the place they know best while you travel. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible, for both you and your pets. You can rest assured your baby will be given lots of love, attention, and dependable care. As a recent college graduate, my schedule is very flexible. Which, thankfully, allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I'm caring for. Whether it's morning walks, midday potty breaks, evening playtime, overnight house sitting, or sticking to a specific medication schedule, I'm happy to work with your pet's routine. I believe pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to keep their day feeling as normal and comfortable as possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home through house sitting or drop-in visits, I follow your routines closely, keep doors and gates secure, monitor pets during walks and outdoor time, and make sure they always have fresh water, meals, and plenty of attention. I know that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their habits, boundaries, favorite toys, and little quirks. Building trust is important to me, and I believe it starts with patience, consistency, and lots of positive interaction. I also volunteer with local dog shelters, and have been doing so for the past four years since coming to Charlotte, which has deepened my love for animals and my understanding of all kinds of personalities and needs. I'm also comfortable administering medications, keeping you updated with messages and photos, and making sure your home is treated with the same respect and care as I would my own. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet who has been loved like family while you were away.
About: I have been a cat and dog owner my entire life. I have had experience pet and dog sitting for 5 years and look forward to the chance to spoil yours. I am an author and can work from anywhere. I previously was in technology sales for twenty years. I would like to pick up some regular dogs to walk as well as occasional overnight sitting. I will not have my pet when caring for your pet in my home. Prefer to care for pets in your home. I like to spend time engaging with your pets.. lots of walks and fur baby luv.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hopkins is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $68 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.
As of October 2026, there are 2,641 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hopkins. 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 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.
