“Katie was amazing with our two crazy dogs! She was kind and respectful to our house and our routine. She cleaned up an accident for us and she came over to meet the dogs prior to the drop ins, which is super important! I would love to use Katie again in the future and I highly recommend her!”
“Alexis was amazing. Our dog has huge anxiety and can be freaked out when meeting people. He took to Alexis right away when she came to meet him. He was even sad when she left. Our cat is known to hide out but she even made a few appearances when Alexis checked in on them.”
“Emily was absolutely amazing. My puppies loved her! She played with them, walked them and even bathed them. Instead of finding traumatised puppies when I returned home, I came home to happy puppies who smelled like blueberries! Thank you Emily!!!!”
“thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my little girl!! she must have really loved your energy to be so sweet and snuggly with you, that says a lot! 💕 i appreciate you so much!!”
“We are so thankful for the wonderful care our dog, Rudy, and guinea pigs received from Kade! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were well cared for and happy while we were away. Communication was excellent. He gave Rudy lots of attention at each of his drop-ins with walks, playing with toys, etc. He was also attentive to our guinea pigs. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Aleksandra went above and beyond taking care of my two cats for a week at the last minute after my prior coverage fell through. I highly recommend her and she will be the first I ask should I need someone to watch them again.”
“Gracie is and has always been amazing in taking care of my fur baby Nala! Mind you Nala is a puppy! Not only does she help with the little things like training, etc. but her communication skills are top notch!”
“My dogs adore Alyssa. She has a special way of connecting with all animals. I don’t worry when I leave them in her care because I know they are not going to be stressed and are well cared for along with getting some extra scratches and kisses. I also know that if any problem comes up, with all of her experience, she will handle it. I feel lucky to have her help!”
“Sami did a great job caring for our two cats while we were gone for a week. She kept in frequent communication with me (which I really appreciated cause I can be kind of needy, lol), and the cats were happy when we got home. She got our mail too! Thanks, Sami!”
“Molly did great taking care of our cat and house. She sat patiently waiting for our cat to come see her (which most previous cat sitters have not done) and went and looked for her when she didn’t come out. Our cat was much less lonely when we got home this trip.”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was little, I am always willing to help our friends or neighbors with their dogs! I enjoy being able to help and take care of the dogs. I am home for the summer from college, I will be taking one college course online but looking for something flexible. Being able to work around my course will be easy and flexible. I have a fenced in backyard with a dog friendly dog. I can easily crate the dog if needed and or keep the dogs separated if necessary.
“Sam was wonderful! She arrived on time and texted us to let us know her ETA. Our two babies are slow to warm up to new people, but Sam was great with them. She was very engaged and asked questions that clearly indicated how focused she was on learning about our babies. We were surprised at how quickly our two little ones acclimated to Sam. I highly recommend her!”
About: Hey there! I'm an avid dog lover and experienced dog caregiver ready to provide exceptional care for your furry friends through Rover. I've got you covered whether it's dog sitting, taking care of young pups, or providing attention to older dogs. I spend most my days at home so don’t worry about them getting left behind! While not on rover, I open my home to foster dogs to help them find their fur-ever homes! When it comes to bath time, I'll make sure your dog receives a spa-like experience, keeping their coats clean and healthy. And let's not forget about exercise! I know how important it is for dogs to stay active, so I'll be sure to provide engaging playtime and regular walks to keep them happy and energized. I’m right next to the riverwalk so walks and runs with a view are literally right around the corner! But let's get real, what's dog care without some quality cuddle sessions? I'll make sure your pooch feels loved and comforted, as cuddling is an essential part of the dog-human bond. So, if you're looking for a responsible and passionate dog caregiver who knows the importance of exercise, and plenty of cuddles, I'm here for you and your four-legged friend. Let's make sure your pup has a tail-wagging time with me on Rover! I work part time and do lot on my computer. I’m a photographer so I spend time on my computer editing but if you ever want a puppy portrait session I’ve got you covered! Taking care of pets is like second nature after a life of taking care of pets. Making sure they get fed, exercise, and treats for good behavior! I’ll be sure to give them time outside and lots of affection, and whatever else you’d like!
About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs my whole life! I have experience with young, senior, active, and working dogs. My family dog growing up was born deaf and with a thyroid condition so I am very familiar with medication admission or other disabilities. My husband and I often work different shifts so someone is often home with the dog(s). I have no problem moving work around to care for your furbaby! I have a fenced in yard and large home. There is only one dog and plenty of room for the dogs to stretch their legs or spread out. I am active and will run or walk your pet!
About: I own two dogs myself, one being a 6mo old puppy! We are always having fun at the dog park, long sunny walks, or cuddled up on rainy days. I always have extra love to share. I am currently a stay at home first time mama! I have full availability currently and would be delighted to help out with your fur babies needs! It would be awesome to have a few routine pips/kitties to check up on weekly/daily. I can drop in and care for you baby while you’re away for a trip or long day at work, I have two overly friendly dogs that I can play date with if desired for a more tired/stimulated pup.
“Maddie was great with my fur babies and communicated each time she dropped in. She was very aware of their needs and if the Rover cards are any indication, they really enjoyed her company!”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hopkins stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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!
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Hopkins with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
