“Gloria was great with my dogs! They warmed up to her immediately. I’m very thankful for her taking the time to play with them and make sure all their needs are met. Will definitely plan to rebook in the future!”

“This is the first time I have used Rover and 5 stars is not enough for the great care Nicole gave Toby! She did an excellent job communicating from our first visit to the duration of our trip out of town. Loved the pictures and the updates. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her services.”


About: I have been taking care of my own pets for my whole life, and other people's pets for the past 8 years! I love working with animals, and I also have several years of experience volunteering at animal shelters just for fun. I have experience with taking care of both cats and dogs, but have extensive experience with elderly cats who need medication assistance or extra attention. I currently run my own private practice, so I have full control over my schedule. Making sure that your pets are taken care of on the schedule you prefer is my priority. I personally have two cats at home and they are completely indoor so I can monitor them. When I go to a client's home, I am a stickler for following exactly what was asked of me by the owner. Safety, affection, and having their needs met are what I most emphasize. I also am more than happy to share videos and photos of your fur baby. I know it makes my day when I'm away and I get a picture of my babies waiting at home!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, both big and small, from dog sitting to dog walking. I have two of my own dogs and know how important it is to make sure they are safe and well cared for! I will make sure your pet is well cared for like they are my own, and has fun! If you have a certain schedule, I will try my best to accommodate your needs! I am currently in between employment so I have a super flexible schedule to care for your pet! I have time for morning walks and afternoon play time and evening check ins pretty much everyday of the week. Please let me know your pet’s specific needs or routine and I will do my very best to follow it to keep them safe and happy!
“Kristin is awesome! I booked check ins for Christmas day and the morning after. I'm so happy she could check on my two cats. She had mentioned to me at the meet and greet that this was her busiest Christmas week yet with a lot of bookings. I have worked in retail for a few years now and Christmas week can be so overwhelming, especially with now that I travel for family while having pets at home. I am so appreciative that she was able to show them care and attention even with one of the craziest weeks of the year. I had booked her in advance but even then I was worried and anxious about this. My job had me scheduled christmas eve, and then I was taking a midnight train to Florida that night. Plus this would be the first night that my cats were alone together without me. I'm just so happy that Kristin could check on them, they were happy and comfortable seeing her while I was gone. I am really thankful for her and she's a great sitter.”

“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!”

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.
“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!”

“Aaron was so wonderful! The dogs loved him right away. He sent us pictures and updated us on how they were doing each time he came. Loved him. Would absolutely recommend!”

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 have been pet sitting for multiple families and neighbors since I was in early high school. I have lots of experience with caring for multiple dogs/pets at once and I love getting to play with furry friends all the time! I have multiple dogs myself and I can’t get enough! I am currently a student at the University of South Carolina, I can be flexible when needed and I am available for drop in visits and walks! I spend time with pets giving them lots of love and attention while their families are away, as well as feeding the pets and playing with them outside to get their roomies out!

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, especially bulldogs and other large dog breeds, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and personalities. I also have experience caring for cats. In addition, I’ve watched neighbors’ small dogs while they were on vacation and have volunteered helping take care of dogs at Final Victory Animal Rescue. I’m active, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s walking, playing, or making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. My schedule is widely open for the summer! There is no doubt I can fit your pet into my schedule whether that be on the weekends or throughout the week! I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their normal environment. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and house rules to help keep pets stress-free. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and supervision while also keeping the home clean and secure. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and safety on walks, around other animals, and in new environments. Having grown up around both large and small dogs, I’m comfortable handling different temperaments and energy levels. My goal is to make owners feel confident that their pets are being treated like family while they’re away
About: I have 6 dogs of my own. I'm not allowed to rescue anymore so this is the next best thing! I am 29 and I love doggos!. Every other week our home is filled with 5 kids. Its like a zoo over here, you might as well let your dog join the party! We have a fenced in backyard, unlimited access to a water bowl, a pool if your dog likes to swim, its fenced in if not so no worries about those who can't swim. I have a love for dogs and they especially keep me busy when the house isnt filled with kids. All our dogs are spayed and neutered so no worries about any accidents. I drive a very large yukon with fold down seats so traveling wont be a problem. I am located about 2 miles from the local vet in case of emergencies and the pet store is right down the road in case you would like your doggo to come back with any extras or you need me to pick up food. I am home all day with the exception early mornings and errands or grocery shopping, etc. so most of my time will be spent with your dog so they can feel comfortable and safe. I have plenty of crates if needed for sleep time. I have a fenced in back yard with toys to play. I make sure to take the pups for walks and that they get plenty of exercise while they are here.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was in middle school. For four years, I assisted in end-of-life care for a senior dog along with being a farmhand for two horses. My previous job in Florida was at an animal shelter, and consisted of feeding, cleaning, and medicating up to 40 kittens/cats/dogs a day. I am available any time, any day of the week. I’m currently job searching for a position at a shelter, so in the meantime I would love to meet your animals and make friends! I live in an apartment with my partner and two kittens. I feed them twice a day, with a capsule of Proviable split between them. They are strictly indoor kitties, and I have given them both a flea bath.
About: I’ve loved animals ever since I’ve been a little girl, I got my own dog when I was around 11. I’ve been the main caretaker of him and I absolutely love it. He brings me so much happiness and I wouldn’t trade him for the world. My friends and family have also depended on me to watch, walk, feed, and even wash their pets occasionally. I think pet care fits perfectly for my daily/weekly routine because I’m a college student and it’s hard to find a job that wants my type of availability and since the summer is coming up I wanted to earn money while doing something I’m already good at and love. I always try to make to recreate a similar environment that the pet is use to. I can try and crate them if needed, or be interactive with them if that’s something they enjoy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hopkins is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $26 per visit. 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 1,140 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hopkins. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
