“Marilyn treats our Bindi like her own. From the first visit, bindi bonded with her right away. She is always looking for ways to make their time more enjoyable and stress free. If you are looking for someone you can trust with your pet, Marilyn is your person!”
“Georgina is wonderful! Our 1 year old pup absolutely adored her, and she provided great updates and photos after each walk while we were away. We hope to work with Georgina again soon!”
About: I have had animals in my life all my life. I am comfortable working with dogs, cats, and small animals. I have also worked with animals that have special needs, specifically related to senior care. I am capable of giving meds and shots to animals. I currently work part-time for myself so I'm able to schedule around your animal's needs. I am able to walk animals up to three times today. The most important thing for an animal is to feel safe while it's owners are away. I am here to follow any routines that your pet already has to maintain a sense of security and calm.
About: I've grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. I have cared for pets while friends/family were away and enjoy doing so. I love spending time with animals. At the moment I am part time and have my daughter. My schedule is very open. Even on my work days I am free the first half of the day. However you want them taken care of is how I will do so. Always with love and kindness. I see my pets as my family.
“Brittany was amazing with our female labradoodle Mia! She clearly loves animals and was very attentive and provided a very nice summary and photos of Mia after every visit. She’s great and we highly recommend her!”
“Nicole was great and exceeded my expectations. She came over to meet our dogs before we left on vacation and they instantly liked her. While on vacation she sent videos and pictures after every walk and was ALWAYS on time. She made my vacation worry free and I can’t thank her enough!”

“We originally asked Caroline if she could walk and feed our two dogs as we were planning to a long day trip. However, we woke up to find our oldest dog not doing very well. It turned out that he had cancer and that we would have to put him down. It was a long agonizing day trying of running tests and considering options before finally deciding that the most humane treatment would be to euthanize. Through all this, we are thankful to Caroline who took care of our remaining fur children--a dog and a cat. It was a great relief to not have to think or worry about them so we could focus on our oldest dog in his time of need.”
About: Lifelong animal lover and wildlife rescuer, here for you and your pets About: I've cared for animals my whole life: dogs, cats, birds, lizards, and fish. I'm the person friends, family, and neighbors call when they need someone they trust with their pets, for walks, feeding, playtime, or just good company. I'm also the one who stops for hurt wildlife and brings them to the Tufts wildlife rehab clinic, so I stay calm in unexpected situations and I'm comfortable with animals of every temperament. I have a flexible daytime schedule, which means I'm available for weekday walks, drop-in visits, and day care. Your pet gets real attention plus plenty of updates and photos while you're away. I treat every animal like my own. I have a large yard where dogs get plenty of supervised outdoor time, plus a dog park just a 3-minute walk away for extra play and socializing.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 14 years old. I’ve had both large and small dogs, and have trained puppies and taken care of senior cats and dogs. My friends and family refer to me as a “Disney princess” because of how well animals respond to me. I work from home, but cannot board in my home. That being said, my equipment is portable, which means I am able to stay at your home to give your pets a constant presence if needed. It also allows me some flexibility in visiting times. I am capable of crating dogs if needed, maintaining puppy training, and walking all sizes and temperaments. For cats I ensure fresh food, water, and litter daily, as well as some pets and scritches if they accept them (we all know how picky cats can be!)
“Cassandra is great! She is very reliable and has built a fantastic relationship with Maizy in a short amount of time (just a few walks). Maizy excitedly awaits her arrival every morning and goes nuts when she sees Cassandra's vehicle pull up.”
About: Animal care is a big part of my life — I have four pets including a pit-bull, two lab mixes and a cat of my own, plus a year of experience walking and house sitting dogs and cats through my partner's pet care business. I treat every pet like my own, and your animal's safety and comfort always come first. I have just recently left my full time teaching job, so I can now give my full time, attention and effort into your furry family I care for pets by sticking to their normal routine — feeding, water, and exercise on schedule. Since I don't watch dogs at my own home, visits happen at the client's house, whether that's a drop-in, walk, or house sitting. I do a quick safety check, send photo updates, and leave things just as I found them.
About: I have 4 years of experience caring for my dog, Sky, who is the Pomsky featured on my profile! I’m an active person and feel comfortable meeting the needs of high-energy pups. I can walk fast and long if your dog feels like it, or we can take things slow and steady, stopping often to sniff. I’m very passionate about helping dogs stay active and get the regular exercise they need to support a healthy weight and a happy mind. I believe that every dog, no matter their age, breed, or energy level, can benefit from fresh air, movement, and having another loving person by their side. I would be honored to be that person you can count on to give your pup the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. I’m available 7 days a week. I work remotely during the week with a flexible schedule, which allows me to offer early morning, mid-day, and evening walks. I would love to help out with last-minute, one-time, or recurring bookings! Safety is of upmost important to me. I always double-check that your pup’s collar or harness and leash are secure before we head out. During our walk, I stay attentive and present the entire time, keeping an eye out for anything on the ground or around us that we may need to avoid. If your pup has a favorite route or any areas, people, or dogs they prefer to avoid, just let me know. When I leave your home, I make sure your pup is safely inside and that all doors and gates are secure. Before I leave, I also make sure they’re comfortable and have enough fresh water to last until you return before saying my goodbyes.
“Ana is always prompt & really enjoys Clover. It’s obvious she has a great move of animals. And she always flexible with times & days to walk. Clover seems to really enjoy time with Ana.”
About: I've been looking after dogs, cats, and exotic pets for about 10 years now. I have a dog, 2 cats, and a leopard gecko of my own, so I know how to take care of all types of animals! I originally started my pet care journey with family pets, and slowly began gaining clients through family friends and being recommended to other people. I have handled all age ranges from kittens to seniors, so I'm able to do a wide array of services (administering medicine, being extra observant, correcting behavior, training, etc.) I'm able to be outside in all kinds of weather, and I can walk or play with your animals for as long as you prefer! I currently work full-time, but I still have plenty of time to care for your animals! My work is very flexible and I am often able to step away to visit your animals. I am completely free on Saturday afternoons, all day Sunday, and all day Monday. Depending on what environment your animal has at your home, I cater to your every preference. On leash, off leash, crated, no pets on furniture, etc. I always make sure to respect my clients homes and most importantly their wishes!
“Stella is a lovely young woman and her warmth and enthusiasm toward our pup was heartening! We hope that when we move to our new town, in a few months, that she can walk Misty regularly!”
About: I have been walking dogs and pet sitting in the Metrowest now for about two years. Prior to that , I raised two large, mixed-breed dogs in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. I have stellar references from many happy customers. I also enjoy photographing your pet and providing you with these pictures at no cost. As a former teacher, I am loving, patient and kind and utilize my teaching skills to help me communicate with animals as well as support basic training goals. The pet sitting fee covers a 24 hour period of which I am totally committed to your “baby.” I may leave the home for an hour or two to do one other dog walk, or pick up some groceries, but I would not be away from your dog for more than three hours max, or less as determined by a discussion with pet parents. If your dog needs less time, opening up my availability to add additional walks, I would consider lowering the fee. This would be determined on a case by case basis and after a discussion with the dog parents. Pet Sitting in the pet’s home provides animals with the comfort and security of following their daily routine and remaining in a secure and familiar environment, thus alleviating any anxiety they might suffer from your absence.
About: I am a reliable dog sitter with lifelong caring experience for dogs. I grew up with two dogs, so I understand routines, behavior, and different personalities. I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs and will always provide loving attention and care. I treat every dog like my own and will keep owners always updated. I work part-time at a restaurant, which gives me a flexible schedule with strong availability on weekday mornings and early afternoons for fun time with your Pup/Dog! I will prioritize safety by following your dogs routine, keeping your environment secure and giving them needed and loving attention and care at all times!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hopkinton
I have three dogs ages 14, 4 and 2 with the 2 year old needing special care since she can be aggressive when she firs meets someone. Both being dog trainers, in the past, they both understand how the 2 year old needs to be handled. In addition they are very patient with the 14 year old as she tend to move slower due to her age. I feel very lucky to have found them to walk my dogs

The average cost of Dog Walking in Hopkinton is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $36 per walk.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Hopkinton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Hopkinton after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hopkinton. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
