Jennifer was amazing! Super communicative & so kind. We felt completely at ease leaving our pups with her as soon as we met her. Huck & Wyatt enjoyed their time with her so much that I don't think they even noticed we were gone ha! We enjoyed our time away even more knowing they were being so well cared for by her, thanks Jennifer!

Julie kept us well informed about how Cooper was doing. He had nice long walks and play time in the yard with Julie. These are things we are unable to do with him so he loved it. Definitely would use Julie again.

About: Animals have been one of the greatest loves of my life. As a yoga teacher, former pharmacy professional, and full-time traveler, I bring a calm, attentive, and compassionate presence to every home I care for. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages—from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and medication. I understand that every animal has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to help them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, hiking adventures, fetch in the backyard, or simply curling up for quiet companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you can relax knowing your beloved companion is in caring hands. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, overnight companionship, or extra attention while you’re away, I strive to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’m happy to accommodate mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holiday care when available. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. As a certified yoga teacher, I naturally bring a calm, patient, and grounded presence that many animals respond to with ease. I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs—whether they’re playful, shy, senior, or require medication. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. My goal is to create a peaceful, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable, secure, and genuinely cared for.

About: I've always had a special connection with animals and genuinely enjoy being around them. Over the years, I've cared for dogs and cats for family and friends and have always enjoyed getting to know their unique personalities. One of my favorite things about working with dogs is teaching them fun tricks and basic commands. I've successfully taught dogs to sit, stay, roll over, and beg. Once, I even taught my dog to walk backwards on two legs 🤭 I love seeing them learn and gain confidence through patience, consistency, and plenty of positive reinforcement. I'm also someone who loves being outdoors, so long walks, playtime, and making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need is something I truly enjoy. Whether your dog is energetic and adventurous or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, I'll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for a member of your family. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making sure animals feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I live in a pet-friendly home with family members who also love animals, along with a friendly Golden Retriever and my cat. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because every pet has a different personality and comfort level, I take the time to help them feel secure and adjust at their own pace. We have a spacious backyard and deck area, and I enjoy taking dogs on regular walks to make sure they get plenty of exercise and enrichment. I'll always follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, routines, and any special care your pet may need so they receive the same love and attention they're used to at home.

About: I have been taking care of animals since i was a child. From neighborhood walks to training and of course love and care is always at the top of my list. I currently don’t have a job so i can focus on around the clock care for your furry friends. And have no problem with that. I have a fenced in yard and have 2 other dogs to keep your baby company. i also have crates and space to separate them if needed.

About: I've cared for pets of all ages and personalities, providing daily walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and lots of love. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away, and I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I have a flexible remote position that allows me to have more open availability and be available anytime of the day or night for your pets needs I have a 7 month old lab mix that is great with other dogs! He sleeps crated at night, and we go on plenty of walks!

I have used Laci for both drop in and overnight services. She met with us for a meet and greet before the sitting dates. My Lola took up to her right away. Laci provided updates and picture and followed directions left for her the day of the sittings. I would seek out her service again for sure!

About: I’ve always loved working with animals. I have hands on experience caring for all breeds of animals. I'm active, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors, whether that's going for walks, hikes, or simply getting fresh air. Because of my animal background, I'm comfortable around animals of all sizes and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care. As a pet caregiver, I'll treat your pets like they're my own. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk to burn off energy, or extra attention while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I’m currently working part time, which allows me to have flexibility and availability throughout the day for dog walks, drop in visits, and pet care. Your pets safety, comfort, and well being are always my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and home is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I strive to provide a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for while you're away.

About: I've always grown up around animals, I've never even lived in a home without some kind of furry friend. I've had dogs since I was younger than 5 and my family used to foster for a program in Alabama called a New Leash on Life. I've had my own dog since college and he is dog reactive. Through patience and consistency, he's now able to comfortably play with other dogs while still understanding his own limits. I genuinely love animals and this seems like a great opportunity to spend time with some without adopting 16 more pets. Since I work full-time during the week, pet care fits best into my weekends. I can also help on weeknights after 6pm, with no conflicts. My schedule can be flexible with enough prep time. I don’t offer boarding in my own home, but I’m happy to come to yours for potty breaks, playtime, and overnight sitting. I make sure pets get the attention they need — whether that’s exercise, cuddles, or just keeping their routine consistent. During overnights, I stay attentive to their comfort and safety, so you can feel confident they’re well. I can accommodate any weird or fun quirks that your pet has because mine definitely has more than a few.

About: I've owned a dog most of my life. I love dogs, but at this stage of life, I find it more rewarding to care for other people's pets and not own one of my own. I had a black lab for 14 years. She was my best friend. I'm sure you feel the same way, which is why you are looking for a sitter. Why place your pet in a kennel when I can stay with them in the home they know? Take that long weekend, or extended stay, knowing your home and pet are safe under my care. I'm an early riser. The dog is often my alarm clock. I prefer to let the dog out in a fenced yard. If the dog is well-trained on a leash, I can walk it and pick up droppings. We enjoy breakfast. I avoid people food, no matter how much they beg, unless you tell me otherwise. Active dogs want to play. Most will show me their favorite toy or game. I am retired but work from home. I am an artist and post my work online. I will ask for your wifi connection. Most pets stay with me while I work. We take frequent breaks to play, cuddle, or go out. The dog tells me what he/she is used to, along with your instructions. I'll follow your feeding and treats schedule to the letter. Later in the day, we watch TV. Many dogs enjoy Animal Planet or sporting events. I am an NFL fan and find many pets like the games too. At bedtime, I am OK if your pet wants to sleep with me. I find that a family with a fenced yard works best for your dog and for me. Your pet may act differently on a leash around other people or animals with me than they do with you. Keeping them safely in a yard avoids them breaking free of their collar or tangling with another dog. I will rarely need to leave your home during my stay, but if I do, your pet will be secured per your instructions and your home locked.

Zoey did a great job taking care of my cat, dog, and house. She brought in my mail, took out the garbage, and watered my plants. She sent me pictures of my animals almost every day that we were gone, and she left behind the cutest doggy "report cards." Both my animals were "pawsitively purrrrrfect." :-) I will definitely use Zoey again!

Julie was an amazing sitter for our golden retriever, Murphy! She made an effort to meet him prior to booking. When we were out of town, she sent us several pictures of their adventures, communicated with us if she needed anything, and made sure our dog was well taken care of. I’d recommend Julie to anyone looking for an in house sitter!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hopkinsville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Hopkinsville on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,577 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hopkinsville. 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 Hopkinsville 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 Hopkinsville 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 Hopkinsville 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.

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

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
