“I think Moonlight likes Leah better than us! He was immediately smitten. She took care of necessities like food and water exactly as needed. But she also made sure to play with this feisty feline so he didn't get bored. And the daily pictures were so much fun to see.”
“I felt very fortunate that Chelsea was available to take care of my cat Ivan during my trip to Greece. This was my second booking and I had absolutely no worries. Chelsea clearly loves taking care of pets and they love her right back!”
“Nat was great with our big, overly friendly pups. She knew how to handle them. She was on time and very responsive to use in arranging for her to dog sit. We will work with Nat again.”
“Carolyn was extremely reliable and communicated well with us throughout her service. You can tell that she loves what she does and spent a little extra time during her visits with our pup. Would certainly use her again!”
“Brittany did a great job caring for my two ultra-shy cats, even managing to medicate my Daisy, a hide-and-seek champion! She was great at communicating their status and reaching out with any questions. Many thanks!”
About: From neighbors to strangers, I’ve cared for other people’s pets for some time now. I love animals so much. Long walks cure my soul so having a dog by my side makes it even better!! I attended the Norfolk Aggie in Walpole for high school, so I’ve been around many different types of animals. It’s my passion to care for animals and make them happy! I currently work part time picking up shifts, so my schedule is very flexible. I do attend college courses but won’t be for the summer! I provide fur friends with regular exercise, a safe environment, consistent routines, necessary grooming, AND I always adhere to the specific needs and instructions provided by the pet owner!
“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! 🐾❤️”
“Nicole takes great care of my cat Millie. She’s great at communicating and sending both pictures and updates. She’s even gets on the floor to play with Millie and give her lots of cuddles. I Highly recommend Nicole!!”
About: I am a fear-free certified professional trainer! Because of this along with almost a decade of experience, I am very confident in handling nervous or less-than-friendly dogs. I've absolutely adored animals of all kinds since I was a little kid, even the ones that most people were afraid of. As an adult, I've worked in shelters, kennels, and in client's homes without incident! Depending on the days, I may have to make short trips away to train my client dogs. I will gladly spend the entirety of the rest of my time with your pets, including overnights! I am happy to follow a schedule if one is provided. I will also provide video or picture updates as frequently as requested. I will also be happy to check the house the pet is staying in to make sure it's safe for the pet. Any messes or accident's are no problem for me to clean up and I will inform the owner about them.
“Ana is the absolute best!! She is truly phenomenal with our high energy, large dog. She is extremely loving with our pup and she treats him like her own. She is also reliable, trustworthy, and punctual. It’s great to know that our dog is in such capable and loving hands while we are away! I cannot recommend Ana highly enough.”
“Excellent pet sitter! She was always on time, flexible, and genuinely caring. My pet is on a temporary medicine and she helped with administration with the same care as if it were her own pet. Her expertise was evident, and she even went above and beyond by giving my pet a get-well treat at her own expense. Highly recommended!”
“Anna was fantastic! Really went above and beyond with our two cats (who can be a little hornery), but they quickly fell in love with her visits and the extra time she spent with them. Would book again!”
About: Hi My name is Julie & I’ve been an animal lover all my life. I’ve always had dogs since childhood and now am a proud dog mom to an adorable 10 year old rescue mix. He happily stays with family while I pamper and care for your pet in the comfort of their home environment. I recently decided to turn my passion for animals into a career and would be honored to be trusted to care for your fur baby as if they were my own.

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.

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!
“Carley took excellent care of my kitties while I was away for the first time since moving to a new home! She followed my info for feeding, playing etc to the tee and sent lots of photos during her visits. I could tell both my cats were super comfortable with her and were getting lots of love while I was away 🥰”

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 Hopkinton 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 Hopkinton 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 Hopkinton 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.
