Jennifer took care of my 2 kitties. She provided updates with photos of the girls. Sometimes they can be shy and hide, but they both came out for her during each visit.

Exceptional Dog Sitter and Walker Unparalleled Professionalism and Expertise I cannot recommend Lucy highly enough. Her exceptional skills, unwavering professionalism, and dedication to her craft truly set her apart from others in the industry. In the face of challenging circumstances involving aggressive dogs, she handled the situation with unmatched expertise, demonstrating her unwavering commitment to the well-being of both the dogs under her care and the community at large. From the moment I first engaged Lucy to care for my beloved canine companions, I knew I had made an excellent choice. Her extensive knowledge and experience in handling dogs of various temperaments reassured me that my pets were in capable hands. Her warm and compassionate nature immediately fostered trust, both with my dogs and with me as a concerned pet owner. Unfortunately, my dogs have exhibited aggressive tendencies, making it difficult to handle them. However, Lucy met this challenge head-on, demonstrating unparalleled composure, professionalism, and an unwavering dedication to overcoming obstacles. She implemented a comprehensive plan and put forth considerable time and effort to ensure their safety and the safety of others. Throughout the process, Lucy maintained open and transparent communication, keeping me informed of the progress she was making with my dogs. Her ability to assess and manage their behavior was truly commendable. Not only did she navigate the challenges posed by their aggression, but she also consistently maintained their well-being. What impressed me the most about Lucy was her tireless commitment to continuing education. She stayed up-to-date with the latest techniques and methodologies in dog behavior management, using positive reinforcement methods to encourage positive changes in my dogs' behavior. Her resourcefulness in seeking out professional development opportunities further demonstrated her dedication to honing her skills and ensuring the highest standards of care. Furthermore, Lucy consistently went above and beyond what was expected, tailoring her services to suit the unique needs of my dogs. Her attentiveness to detail, reliability, and punctuality were evident in every interaction. I felt an immense sense of relief knowing that my pets were receiving the utmost care and attention, even in the face of difficult circumstances. In conclusion, Lucy is an exceptional professional who has truly earned my admiration and gratitude. Her unwavering commitment to the welfare of animals, coupled with her expertise, sets her apart as a remarkable dog sitter and walker. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to any pet owner seeking a compassionate, knowledgeable, and skilled individual to care for their beloved companions. Thank you, Lucy, for your outstanding service and for going above and beyond to ensure the well-being of my dogs. Your exceptional abilities and unwavering dedication are a testament to your professionalism and the genuine love you have for animals.

I’m incredibly grateful to Deirdre for stepping in on such short notice to care for my 80 lb German Shepherd puppy. It was our first time using this service and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was warm, professional, and attentive to my dog’s needs. Her thoughtful updates and excellent communication instantly put me at ease. I’m so happy to have found someone I can trust, and I look forward to reaching out to her for future visits!

Sara was amazing with my cat Sophie. This was my first time using a pet service and I was nervous about the prospect until I met Sara and immediately felt at ease. The whole experience for me and my cat went very smoothly and I have already booked Sara for another time in a few weeks. Thank you Rover and of course Sara.

Chelsea was so awesome! We were so happy she was able to fit us in on a busy holiday weekend. She was very communicative and kept us updated about how everything went during her visit. It was clear the cats loved her after seeing the photos she sent; even our very timid cat who hides from other people. We could tell she takes the job seriously and is experienced with pets. Will definitely be booking her again!

Amruta was very nice and great with Scooby! She is a natural with dogs - when he met her and started jumping (still a pup learning his manners) she turned her back and immediately went into trainer mode which was great. Thanks Amruta!

We are so happy we booked with Kerry! It was wonderful getting to meet her during our meet and greet, and we felt comfortable leaving our Labrador Retriever, Enzo, in her care. My husband and I were away for two days, and Kerry provided drop-in visits that included walks, feeding, playtime in the backyard, fresh water, and lots of great company for Enzo while we were away. She was so attentive and responsive throughout our time away and kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell Enzo was happy and well cared for, and we truly appreciated how thoughtful and reliable Kerry was. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pets like their own! 🐾❤️

About: Hi, I am Julie, a lifelong animal lover who grew up with dogs and recently said goodbye to my cherished 13-year-old pit/lab mix after years of loving companionship. Four years ago, I turned my deep passion for animals into a professional career, and I would be truly honored to care for your furry family members as if they were my own. Dogsitting is a calling that chose me just as much as I chose it, and because cats and dogs naturally gravitate toward me, I take special joy in winning over even the most timid pets. I am currently working part-time with a highly flexible schedule, allowing me ample time to give your furry friend the love and attention they deserve. As a massage therapist, I bring a gentle touch to my pet care, ensuring your pup receives plenty of petting, belly rubs, and ear scratches—if they enjoy that kind of affection. I prioritize their comfort and well-being, adjusting my daily routine to meet the specific needs of your pet. Whether it's taking them for long, leisurely walks or adhering to a strict feeding schedule, I am dedicated to providing the best care. Additionally, I am experienced in administering medications, ensuring that your pet’s health is always in good hands. Your pup will feel pampered and loved while you are away!

About: I’m a caring, reliable dog lover with experience caring for multiple dogs at once, plus owning a dog myself. Your pet will receive lovingly, attentive care! I am a stay at home mom looking for some extra work, I’d prefer to work afternoons/night but I am flexible if other arrangements are needed! I focus on keeping cats comfortable and stress-free in their own home while their owners are away. I follow your cat’s normal routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any special care instructions. I always move calmly and respectfully around cats, especially those that may be shy or anxious. I’m very attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or health and will communicate with you if anything seems unusual. I also send regular photo updates so you know your cat is safe and well cared for during every visit.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Hopkinton on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 5,098 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hopkinton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
