“Lucy took excellent care of our dog Lincoln, taking her time to let him warm up to her and sharing thorough updates with us. She even snagged some great photos of our un-photogenic boy. Happy to have her keep taking care of our pup! Highly recommend.”
“Gianna was super communicative and attentive, she did a great job taking care of our nervous puppy and making sure he had the best experience for his first Rover visit. She was also so thoughtful about small details, like cleaning his Kong toy and bringing in packages, which goes such a long way :) will book again!”
About: Hello! I am 25 years old with a ton of animal experience. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, and for the most part have trained my families dogs. I went to High school at Norfolk Agricultural High School and was a Veterinary Major there. My High School gave me the opportunity to meet, handle, groom, and train dogs that were not my own. I was also in a 4H club at Natick Organic Farm in which I took care of the live stock that lived there. I have always been the go to dog sitter for my extended family. Due to this I also had to handle dogs of all different sizes and temperaments. I am currently working on becoming an Airline pilot so my days are very wide open and can be manipulated to better suit the care for your pets. I am familiar with most dog training tools. Depending on what is best for your dog I am comfortable using and have been trained to use. I also understand that every dog has different needs.
“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.”
About: Hey There! I'm Becky. I'm a mother, small business owner, and life-long dog lover. For my entire life I've always had dogs, but a few years my sweet dog crossed the rainbow bridge to doggy heaven. When that happened, my children started asking for a new dog, but I wasn’t quite ready. As an alternative we started helping others with theirs. It’s become an incredible journey for our family, and brings us so much joy! We’re happy to have dogs here for boarding. I only take ONE dog at a time, unless there are multiple dogs coming from the same home that already live together. I have two children (11 & 15) who both love dogs as well. However, my son is nervous around bigger dogs and certain breeds. For this reason, a trial visit is required. Dog sitting has brought an unexpected amount of happiness into our home and family. We get very excited with each new furry friend that we get to love while you’re away. I have a fenced yard and a cozy home. I allowed my dog on the furniture when I had him. I don’t have a crate. Whatever rules apply in your house are what we try to do here. Dogs can run free in my fenced yard or walk on a leash around my neighborhood and in the nearby nature trails. I run a small part-time preschool enrichment program out of my basement, in a separate area where dogs would not have access. During work hours I am generally able let dogs out as needed in a separate fenced area. If you are interested in having your dog stay with us, please feel free to contact me. We would love to provide a safe, happy home away from home for your beloved pet while you're away. Your pet will be treated as if they were our pet. We try our best to make our routines look like yours, creating a safe, happy home away from home. I live in a cute neighborhood abutting conservation land. It is beautiful! We use an organic pest company to keep ticks out of our yard and I keep my home tidy.
About: When I lived in Brazil, there was such a surplus of dogs in the area I was located and my family and I were the family on the block to rescue everyone we could. I drive special needs kids to/from school and at the moment I am blessed to have spots in my schedule between driving., therefore I free on hours where a lot of people are usually working. My apartment has a wash room special for dogs only. And dogs don’t pay rent at all. I’m around dogs and kids all day long!
“Marcella was very attentive to our furbabies! She asked great questions initially, was very timely and spent time with them. They seemed quite happy when we got back. Very good experience!”
“Sarah was really great with our two cats! She was able to give our one cat the meds she needs and sent many updates throughout the week! She was very attentive and always answered right away. Definitely will book with Sarah again in the future!”
“Nicole was great and my cat loved her! She kept me up to date with lots of pictures and texts during her visits which was awesome. It made leaving my cat at home a little easier knowing Nicole was checking in on her and giving her lots of love.”
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for a wide variety of dog breeds both personally and professionally. I bring deep knowledge, patience, and heartfelt dedication to every pup I meet. My love for dogs runs deep, and I always strive to make each one feel safe, loved, and truly at home. Whether it's energetic playtime, long walks, or cozy cuddle sessions, I tailor my care to each dog’s unique needs and personality. Your furry family member will be treated like one of my own with compassion, consistency, and lots of belly rubs! Providing the best care possible isn’t just my job, it’s my passion and my priority. I currently work from home, which allows me to give dogs plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m also supported by my two mature and responsible children, who have hands-on experience with dog-sitting, walking, and even cat care. They fully understand the responsibilities that come with caring for animals and love being involved. With our home full of warmth and care, your pet will feel like part of the family. We live in a wonderful, dog-friendly neighborhood that’s known as one of the safest in Massachusetts. Our area is peaceful, welcoming, and perfect for regular walks, with nearby dog parks and friendly neighbors. I have all the necessary dog-walking supplies on hand, and as an active, athletic family, we love spending time outdoors. Your dog will enjoy plenty of fresh air, exercise, and outdoor play always in a safe and stimulating environment.

“Sara was an outstanding sitter.She took such care with our geriatric cat, spending quality time with him and making sure he had plenty of attention while we were away. She was incredibly communicative and thorough and sent such beautiful photos of our cat! I cannot recommend her highly enough!!”
About: Always had dogs & cats as a kid. Always loved it too! I worked with them for years and years and got a good overall feel/sense for various types and breeds, situations etc. I started taking care of neighbors pets, then friends too, and once Covid shut down our family stores, it gave me a chance to continue doing what I love, working with animals! I especially enjoy the challenge of winning over dogs that are timid, uncomfortable, anxious, have been abused, etc. I love proving to them that they're Safe. Everythings alright. Its ok to relax. Some are nervous around me or arent great with adults/males/strangers etc. That's Ok! Please see my reviews, Thanks for your consideration! My day totally revolves around my clients. They come First! Depending on what care I have to give to each animal. I'm around all the time otherwise! I take countless precautions to assure the safety of anyone and everyone that will be involved in my care for my clients. I keep an eye on them all day and night!

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 .

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.

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.
