“Beth has been absolutely wonderful to work with. She is professional, reliable, and truly cares about the dogs she looks after. It’s clear she goes above and beyond, she even asked us to leave a towel out so she could wipe the dogs down on rainy days, which shows how thoughtful and attentive she is. She also treats our home with the utmost respect, which gives us great peace of mind while we’re away. We always come back to happy, well cared for dogs. We highly recommend Beth to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and detail-oriented!”
“Kate is very friendly and responsive and was able to accommodate a meet and greet and drop in visit on relatively short notice. I appreciate her spending time with my pup even when he can be a bit shy with strangers. Thanks so much!”
“Autumn did an amazing job looking after Peppermint. She provided updates multiple times daily including photos and I could see how happy our puppy was to be out with her. She was very communicative and helped me out with an emergency last minute request. I would 1000% use Autumn again in the future.”
“I love having Celina as a pet sitter! My cat gets very lonely when we're gone and Celina takes the time to give her the attention she's missing as well as making sure all her needs are met.”
“Tiffany is an animal lover and it shows. My cats were well cared for, and benefited immensely from Tiffany's drop-in visits. Special instructions for our elderly cat were followed, and full reports were sent in a timely fashion. Pictures showed my babies were happy, healthy, and glad to have Tiffany tending to their needs. Thank you, Tiffany!!!”
“Dawn was wonderful with taking care of my cat last minute! She sent very detailed updates and lots of pictures. My cat can be very shy, and she really went out of her way to be extra patient and loving with him. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I have a beautiful Siberian Husky who loves her walks. All pets deserve their time outside to sniff and stretch their paws. I will give your pet the fresh air and exercise they need (and maybe a treat or two) I work in education so I have the summers off. I enjoy nothing more than spending time in the fresh air with furry, four legged friends. I have experience working with the plethora of animals. I understand the importance of keeping your pets safe. Prior to my first walk/house visit, I ask the client to give me a summary of command words, routines, and your own expectations of your pet and myself for an easy transition and happy experience for your pet.
“Kristina really helped us out with a last minute booking! She’s flexible, responsive, and respectful. She made sure our boys were take care of and even brought in packages so they wouldn’t get left out in the rain!”
“Christina was awesome!! Not only a kind individual, but wonderful with our two pups! She offered to work on some training while she spent the day with them, took them to the dog park, and was very accommodating when our plans changed. We will definitely use her again for pet sitting in the future!!!”
About: I have always been around dogs since I was a kid. Between my own, family members and neighbors, I have cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for many years and been able to adjust to each dog’s needs with no problem at all. I am great at tiring pups out with play or long walks or hanging with them if they are on the lazier side! I work part time in Concord so I’m looking to take care of dogs for fun and some extra cash! I am available differing days of the week depending on my schedule, but when I am free I will be able to tire out the pups with long walks or extended play sessions if they so desire! I will easily be able to navigate client homes and learn a dogs likes and dislikes quickly to make for a smooth and comfortable experience for the pups.

Celina is a true professional and lover of animals! She was so accommodating and dropped in on my dogs to make sure they were okay during the day. They immediately loved her during the meet and greet, and I know they’ll be looking forward to their next visit with her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,052 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hopkinton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 90% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
