About: I have always had a love for animals. I have two dogs and two cats. I adopted two of them. I enjoy spending time with animals, it makes me feel stress free I am currently a student athlete. I play softball and majoring Chemistry. I am currently in off season so I will have more free time. I can really fit anything in my schedule. I will safely guide your pets on their walks and their potty breaks. I will love your fur babies just like they are my own.
“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: I’ve had and taken care of cats and dogs for pretty much my whole life. I frequently volunteer at an animal shelter where I walk dogs and sometimes even take them home to foster for a while. I currently have 2 lab mixes and 2 kitties which are my whole world! I have such a strong love for animals of any kind! I work Monday-Friday so I have most evenings free as well as weekends. After just getting married, I’m finding myself with a lot of extra time most days since I spent so long planning the wedding. I care for pets by always doing what is best for them. Giving them the play time, potty time, and feeding time that they need. It is important to me that animals get the care and love that they need. I treat any animal like a part of my family!
“Molly took excellent care of our cat, Louie, while we were away for an extended ten-day trip. She was extremely responsive to all messages and requests, made sure he had fresh water/food and clean litter each day, and made him feel comfortable and loved with lots of attention and treats. We so appreciated her sending us photos of Louie and his food/litter stations each day for reassurance he was in good hands!”
“Gracie is amazing!!! My husband and I added a new fur baby to our family and we were worried about having someone come and play with our Nala girl but thanks to people suggesting Rover I found Gracie! Gracie comes to do a drop-in visit for about an hour! Within that hour she lets Nala out, plays, and makes sure our girl is okay! I would highly suggest Gracie for any service you need for your fur babies!”
“Oralee is amazing. She's very nice and I trust her completely with Frank. She makes the experience on Rover work for someone like me, who isn't tech savy. I'll be calling on Oralee often.”
About: I love pets because they all have different personalities like us. We get to know them and who they are while they get to know us. I am a senior in high school who loves pets and I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my free time than being with animals. I have my own toy poodle named Cody at home and we go for walks everyday. We love to take runs after I get off of school and come back for a nice lunch with some rest. While I take care of others dogs, I ensure they have clean water and food bowls, that they get fresh air, and enough time to use the bathroom. I think it’s important for dogs to be outside and active (especially if they’re as hyper as my dog), so walking, running, or even sitting outside is my favorite thing to do.
About: My pups were extremely picky, extremely loved doggies with daily scheduled enrichment activities and very peculiar routines and I loved every moment of it. People called them “high maintenance,” but they just knew what they want and how they wanted it and that was okay with me. It fits really well! I am in a hobby filled part of my life and I miss my dogs, so I’m excited to get a lot of time around animals. I have a fenced yard, but I would only keep animals at my house in an emergency. I would prefer going to a client’s home so the pet can be comfortable and in their element.
About: I have had animals for my entire life and have been pet sitting for the past 8 years. I also worked for an animal rescue where I cared for dogs of all sizes with all different types of needs. I can feed, walk, bathe, brush, give meds, and most anything else! I have so much love for animals and hope you choose me to share it with yours! I am currently a nursing student with great flexibility! I only have classes for a few hours a day, 3 days a week. At home, I care for my 2 cats, Great Dane, and bearded dragon daily. I have a safe, pet friendly home (including an extra bedroom) with friendly cats and a dog who gets along with everyone. I have a large, unfenced backyard.
“Holly is great taking care of our cat Lovi. She ensures Lovi is fed, refresh water bowl, clean litterbox, bring mails and water the house plants. We find our cat happy and healthy whenever we come back from vacation. We ensure to bring her chocolate from our vacation country.”
About: I’ve always had a home filled with many animals. Multiple ages, different breeds, and different abilities. I’ve had first hand experience raising puppies and also providing a comfortable space for senior dogs as well. I currently have two dogs and two cats of my own!! I’m currently a college student home for the summer. I have a few pets that I see every week, but would love to see more! I have a 3 year old golden retriever if your dog is looking for a friend to spend the day with! I will help out with feeding, water, walks and more!
About: I'm a self-employed pet lover and dog sitter with lots of experience under my belt. I also work part time to make sure my family future is secure. While I don't have any dogs of my own, I will welcome yours with open arms and care for them as if they're mine! I live in a spacious, two story house and have ample room for your pet to play. My yard is fenced in and very secure. Since there are stairs in my house, dogs with hip or back problems may sleep downstairs. I keep a clean home. If it is a faint smell of dog pee, it’s because dogs do use the restroom on my carpet (I am a dog sitter and most dogs do so in my home, especially the “not so potty trained” ones). I make sure to clean up after every service rendered. Stays on day of pick up after 2 pm can occur additional fees. References are available upon request. About this sitter: I have been pet sitting for several years. I love all animals, especially dogs. I am self employed who work from home, which leaves me plenty of time to spend with your dog. I also have a part time job to make sure my family future is secure. Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up around them and have been pet sitting for several years. About my yard I have a spacious, fenced-in backyard.
About: I have helped my childhood cat deliver babies. My first official babysitting job was caring for my newborn puppy brother. His mother passed away giving birth so I have lots of hands-on training with both dogs and cats. I'm currently a full-time student. I do not work so my schedule is only based on what classes I have at the time. If you're located near campus, I am able to stop by almost any time. If you need specialized feeding, walks, or just someone to cuddle with your fur baby, then I am the person for you. I will also do litter box changes and clean ups as necessary.
“Reliable and consistent! Exactly what you are looking for in somebody to care for your pups. Also, really sweet to the dogs, her rover card write ups are the best! Highly highly recommended!”
“Emma did a great job. Emma is very kind, she showed up on time and looked after my cat's Thor and Dena exactly as I asked her too. She made sure they always had food, water, a clean box and all of their needs were met. She texted me every day exactly when she was going to check on them and sent me pictures/videos of them so I could see how they were doing each day. If you need someone to watch your pets, I cannot recommend Emma highly enough.”
About: I have had a cat since 2015 and have experience giving 10+ medications a day to cats. I have had a dog for a year. I work Monday to Thursday in person and am home around 4 every day, after which I typically play with my dog and go for a walk. On the weekends, I am available for house sitting and boarding. I have a nice sized fenced backyard, a one year old lab/blue heeled mix, and a cat. I provide a very loving home with lots of toys.
About: I have a Pekingese who is almost 20 years old and a Great Dane that is almost 9! Let me love your animals like they are my own ❤️ I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I will send all the pictures/videos you want of your furbaby(s). Work entirely remote and am home with my babies all day. I am entirely flexible to meet the needs of any client circumstance. How can I help? I have a fully fenced in backyard but am always outside with the pups playing. If it’s a rainy day, we have plenty of room inside for shenanigans.

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 .

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.

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.
