“Nicole was fantastic with my senior pups during her housesitting stay! Mobility issues and medications were handled with great care. Lots of cute pics were provided and my pups soaked up every minute of love and attention. Nicole has stellar communication skills and was very flexible when I had a last minute change in plans. I will definitely book her housesitting services again. I highly recommend her services!”

“Dawn is an absolute gem and took amazing care of our Boxer rescue, Bruno. She sent regular updates with tons of pictures (something our daughters loved) over the three days we were gone. Dawn went above and beyond during her stay and we are grateful to have found someone who can handle our anxious boy. In fact, we’ve already rebooked her for our beach vacation this summer!”

“Donna is amazing with our dogs and our house! She is truly a special sitter and you’d be lucky to have her! She took very good care of our two pups while we were out of town for almost 2 weeks. She diligently cared for them and also watched over our house! On top of that, she’s a wonderful person and we highly recommend her!”

“Another great sitting session. Akira rolled our trash can in when she didn’t have to and ran the dishwasher. Rufus was happy and well behaved. She sent pictures and videos. Akira was in constant communication. I already have her booked again. Leaving my baby at home with someone I know is taking care of him makes traveling less stressful.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. From puppies to senior dogs. Ive turned aggressive dogs calm. Understanding your dog and its triggers are key. I will treat your pet like it’s my own. Lots of love and playful stimulation. I’m not just watching your dog, I’m creating a bond. Creating a safe space for your pup to be able to relax and have fun. Building trust with you is step 1. I am available anytime for your fur babies needs. I can handle up to 2 dogs at a time. Plenty of play time and potty breaks. I have an open yard. Not big but big enough to play. I use e collars to help direct playtime and to have control over them as needed. Dogs roam freely in the house when I am home. They go in crate if I am not. Multiple post breaks and plenty of playtime and healthy stimulation

“Jessica was a Godsend. Due to a last minute sitter cancellation that left me scrambling for a long work trip, I found Jessica. Then right before my trip, my pup got an injury. I walked through everything with Jessica and with her prior experience caring for fosters, I knew he was in the right hands while I was away. She took amazing care of my guy, kept me up to date on everything and sent loads of pictures of my guy. I am forever grateful for the care she provided while I was away for an extended period and helping Beckham recover from his injury. Highly recommend booking with Jessica!”

About: I’m an experienced and lifelong animal caregiver with a strong background in caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I grew up around dogs and have raised multiple pets from puppy and kitten stages through adulthood, giving me a solid understanding of animal behavior, socialization, and daily care needs. I have extensive hands-on experience with large-breed dogs, including my 150 lb Labrador, who I trained in obedience, leash manners, and routines through consistent, positive-based training methods. I also have a mini Dachshund, so I’m comfortable with small breeds, their unique personalities, and their care needs as well. In addition to dogs, I care for two one-eyed cats, which has built my experience with special-needs pets requiring extra patience, attentive care, and gentle handling. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter maintenance, medication assistance if needed, enrichment activities, and creating a calm, loving environment for cats of all temperaments — including shy or anxious pets. I prioritize safety, comfort, routine, and affection to make every pet feel secure and loved in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, enrichment, training reinforcement, or extra cuddles, I adapt to each pet’s personality and needs to ensure they feel at home while you’re away. Because I attend school part-time and complete most of my coursework from home, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m able to be home throughout the day, which means more consistent supervision, playtime, walks, and companionship for your pets — not just quick check-ins. My routine gives me the ability to accommodate morning, mid-day, and evening care, with availability for overnight stays, extended visits, and last-minute needs. I’m able to adjust my schoolwork around pet care, ensuring your pets receive reliable, steady attention and a calm, loving environment. My home is set up to provide a safe, calm, and welcoming space for the pets I care for. I have gated-off areas both inside and outside, which allows me to separate pets when needed for comfort, feeding, rest time, or safety. This setup is especially helpful for pets who prefer their own space, are shy, or need a slower introduction to others. I also have friendly pets in the home who are used to being around other animals, but introductions are always done carefully and based on what is best for your pet. Whether your pet enjoys social time with others or prefers a quiet, private space, I can accommodate their needs. Your pet will have a secure environment, plenty of supervised time, and a comfortable area where they can relax stress-free — just like home.

“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.”

“Morgan has been our person for over a year now. She takes the absolute best care of my dogs and my home. This was my first international trip in a very long time. Having Morgan watch the girls brought peace of mind and allowed me to relax and enjoy my 10 day vacation. She sent lots of pictures and updates and kept the girls on a pretty good schedule. The dogs love her and always seem really happy and relaxed when I return. Cannot recommend her enough. We’ll miss you when we move! Thanks for everything”

“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..”

FAQs for House Sitting - Hopkins

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Hopkins on Rover is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $68 per night. 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 2,664 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.

<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.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.
