“Dana and Mathieu were amazing hosts and took excellent care of Vincent! He had so much fun playing with Daisy and Hazard that he wanted us to stay when we went to pick him up. We would definitely recommend them to anyone and will hope they are available next time we are in the area. Thank you for the pictures and videos, it was reassuring to see Vincent so happy and at ease while we were apart.”
“Torie was great with our two morkies, one of which has PLE and has some intense dietary restrictions. She was very communicative and quick to respond during the stay! Thank you Torie!”
“My terrier seemed to have had a great time with Karissa, her 2 dogs and her family. We typically have family members take care of our pup but we felt totally comfortable leaving her in such good hands. I would not hesitate to use her services again if need be. Thanks so much.”
“Our first encounter with Karen was very calm and she was super sweet. Remi warmed up to her almost immediately. It was a last minute booking and she was able to accommodate a meetup before the actual boarding which I appreciated. She kept us updated with photo and videos of Remi throughout the day. That alone gave me a peace of mind. Overall very pleased and would love to rebook again in the future.”
“Sharon was so good to Cane. She sent me pictures daily and kept me up to date on him settling in. She walked him, brought him to the dog park to play and had a very comfortable deck to lay out on. I can tell Cane enjoyed his stay with her.”
“Karen and Chris were fantastic! They are such a nice family that took excellent care of our pup. They were great with communication and pictures. I knew our dog was safe and loved! Highly recommend!!!”
“Wil was really great with my dog, even though he is usually reactive he behaved wonderfully with him and I could tell he had a really good time there! I will definitely be booking again! There was some slight confusion though since I wasn’t told it wouldn’t be Francis herself watching my dog but rather her parents, which was fine as they were great with him but it was a surprise.”

“We don’t leave our dog often and have been out of the area for a while so we were nervous. We were truly happy with Oscar’s care with Erica and her family. Erica kept us posted and sent pics to put us at ease. Oscar was very relaxed when we picked him up and not mad at us at all. Would definitely leave him in their care again.”
“We left our 14 year old Havanese with Kim for a week as our regular sitter was away on vacation. Bonita had a great experience & Kim gave us regular updates with pictures & comments on her daily activities. Kim has a great yard for dogs & the horses were a bonus experience for Bonita. Highly recommend”
“I can’t say enough great things about Armitage. They take such amazing care of Kharma every single time. Even when Kharma had to stay really late, they were incredibly accommodating and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. It truly gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. At this point, Armitage is the first sitter I call every time without hesitation. I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with Kharma. The level of care, consistency, and genuine love they show means everything to me.”
“Jessica and family were simply the BEST! Louie did not want to leave her house when we first went to visit! Jess sent photos and comments daily, in addition to responding right away to text message when I had a question during Louie's stay with her. I definitely will recommend her, and wish that I could give her 10 stars as well! It was hard for me to leave my 13 year old boy who has limited hearing and vision. She was really caring and terrific! I am so glad to have found her!”
“Another perfect stay with Debby! We now lovingly refer to a visit with Debby as a visit to Mookie's second home. As always, Debby sent lots of photos, videos, and snippets about the day to make sure we knew that Mookie was at his best. Debby is a gift to both the pet and the pet-parent, and we feel so fortunate to have made this connection.”
“Penny was very responsive and flexible with our schedule. She took great care of Trouble, including giving him his medications and eye drops, and he got to hang out with her adorable dachshund Frank! We’ll definitely use her services again!”
“Kimberly was awesome with our pup, Harper. This was the first time we left her for a week and were understandably anxious about how she would do. Harper had the best vacation ever! Kimberly sent regular updates and pictures of Harper having a great time. She got lots of exercise, love and attention. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend Kimberly for any boarding/doggy day care needs.”
“Thank you for letting Hooper be a part of your family for 4 days. Based on pick up, he seemed very comfortable and relaxed which was awesome to see. It was obvious you took great care of him! Thank you again and hope to utilize your services again soon!”
About: We have been dog owners our whole lives, but recently said goodbye to our beloved cockapoo. We are looking for some doggy time while we take a break from being full time pet parents. I work from home and love to walk during my lunch break. We have experience with giving medicines and dealing with the quirks your pup. I’m working from home for a flexible employer, so I can make most dog schedules work. I try to walk at my lunch break every day and am more motivated with a doggy friend. We are accustomed to leashing a pet whenever we go out. Your dog will be treated like a part of the family and we can work with your specific needs

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Hopkinton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hopkinton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Hopkinton.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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
- 97% 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.
You and your Hopkinton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in RI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
