“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!”

“I was EXTREMELY anxious about leaving my pet, but Danya made me feel completely at ease from the start. She offered to have a meet and greet which was wonderful! Danya was incredibly kind, communicative, and reassuring. She sent regular updates and photos/videos that helped me relax while I was away. It was clear that she truly cared for my sweet Ava as if she were her own. You can tell how much Ava took to Danya! When I returned, Ava was happy, well cared for, and in great spirits! I’m so grateful to have found Danya and will definitely be booking with her again. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter! She has definitely earned the title of “Star sitter”! ❤️”

About: Hi! We’re Jaycee and James, a dog-loving couple who are excited to welcome your pup into our home! 🐾 We have two dogs of our own — Bentley, our playful and energetic 2-year-old Golden Retriever, and Bailey, our sweet and cuddly 4-year-old mini Bernedoodle. They both love having a furry friend around, so we’re only able to care for dogs who are friendly and comfortable around other dogs. We’re an active household and love spending time outdoors. Our apartment community has two private dog parks, and we have plenty of walking and hiking trails nearby. Whether your dog loves a long walk and playtime or would rather relax and cuddle at home, we’re happy to match their routine and energy level. James works from home, so there is almost always someone home with the dogs throughout the day. We also only care for one guest dog at a time, which allows us to give your pup plenty of individual attention and make them feel like part of the family. We know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone else, and we’ll treat your pup like one of our own! ❤️ James works from home, so there is almost always someone home with the dogs throughout the day. We have a flexible schedule and can provide regular walks, playtime, attention, and companionship. We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. We provide a safe, comfortable, home-based environment where your dog can be part of our family. We only care for one guest dog at a time and require dogs to be friendly and comfortable around other dogs, since we have Bentley and Bailey. We follow your instructions carefully and prioritize your dog’s comfort, safety, and individual needs.

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.

“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: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have always loved caring for them. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing outside, or just spending quality time together, I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and making sure they’re happy and well cared for. I understand how important it is to keep pets active, loved, and safe, and I treat every dog like they’re part of the family. As a teacher currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. My days are open, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays throughout the week. I love having the opportunity to spend my break doing something I enjoy—being active, outdoors, and taking care of pets. It’s the perfect way to combine my love for animals with my free time during the summer months. When school starts, I’m available after 3pm. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I have a fenced yard where dogs can run and play freely under supervision, which gives them a great outlet for exercise and fresh air. Inside, pets have plenty of space to relax and feel at home. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, whether that means regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or cuddles. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines, making sure their pets feel secure and cared for while maintaining consistency in their daily lives.

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!

“Marcella saved my cat-I would give her 100 stars if I can I have 2 cats and one of them has seizure. She needs medication everyday so I invited Marcella for help. She said yes to this task and was able to accommodate the drug address method without any issue. And she did more than that. Another cat felt under the weather during our absence and it turns out he was in a very critical situation-urination blockage. Marcella stayed longer to observe him, called my vet, the vet she knows, Rover support, and ended up decisively brought my cat to the ER when I was not reachable. At that time she was told by Rover there's a risk that she needs to pay the medical bill (which is of course not the reality) but she still wants to save my cat's life. Vet told us he could die if we went to hospital later than we were. Luckily, with all the help, he made through it and now continuing enjoying his life. Even ER team took care of my cat, Marcella proactively commuted between my house and ER, bring addition information from the doctor and precise photos to us. she did everything I could even imaging, and much more beyond. I highly recommend her!!!”

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'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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Hopkinton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hopkinton is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 10,916 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hopkinton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

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

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% 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.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters 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 sitter.
