“We left our pittie mix with Erin for a night while we were getting married and she was great! Communication was 5 stars!! Mysha is an anxious girl and isn’t great with new people, sometimes even refusing to leave the crate no matter how bad she needs to go to the bathroom, but Erin got her out eventually and played with her!! Definitely will book again if we ever need to!!”
“Pamela was amazing! She accepted a last-minute booking to watch Willie Nelson, and we are so grateful. She arrived right on time, kept us updated throughout, and was so communicative and thoughtful. Willie was happy and relaxed when we got home, and we could tell he was well cared for. We’d book Pamela again in a heartbeat!”
“Abhay was absolutely amazing. On first contact, his enthusiasm to meet and greet both us an our animals was encouraging. We knew from first meet that we could be confident and comfortable leaving our babies and our home in his care for two weeks. We were not wrong. Everything went as planned and our babies and our home were cared for perfectly according to our requests. We would, without question, request his services again and highly recommend to others.”
“Isis is truly the best! We have been searching for a dog sitter that made us feel comfortable and we felt really cared about our dogs and that is Isis! She went above and beyond and provided great pictures and updates. I know she would be a great dog sitter for anyone and we are so happy to have found her and will most definitely be using her services again.”
“Nathalia was fantastic! On time, communicative, and thorough. She made sure our very anxious dog was at ease and happy the entire time which isn’t always an easy task! She is everything you would hope for in a sitter!”
“Melisa did a great job caring for Indigo and we felt so comfortable with her at our place too knowing someone was home while away!!! Thanks for playing with indigo and taking her on long walks!”
“I was overwhelmed by how much my dogs enjoyed spending time with Brian ("Barry"). When I arrived home after a short trip, they were completely bonded to him and wouldn't leave his side. I loved the daily pictures of my two dogs. They were so well cared for and actually smiled for the photos. Barry kept in touch frequently to let me know that all was well. Shelby and Luke loved going out for walks with him. He kept my home safe and spotless, and my gang was in absolute heaven spending time by his side. I very much hope that I can have him stay again if ever needed. He is a gentle and highly responsible pet sitter!”
“Catherine was an amazing cat sitter and I would absolutely rebook with her again. She followed all of my care instructions very carefully and was extremely attentive to my cats’ needs while I was away. One thing that really stood out to me was how quickly she noticed an issue with my cat Bruce, who has chronic constipation. I had explained the warning signs to look out for before I left, and the very first night I was gone she noticed he was trying to use the litter box but couldn’t. She contacted me immediately, made herself available for a phone call, and followed all of the care steps I walked her through. Thankfully, Bruce improved a lot after that, and I was so grateful she caught it so early. She also sent constant updates and photos throughout the trip, so I was never left wondering how my babies were doing. Catherine house sat for two nights as well, and when I came home my apartment was exactly as I left it. I felt like my cats and home were genuinely cared for while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Nicole and Steve did an amazing job looking after our Zona! We were away for a weekend and wanted someone who can stay at our place, since our dog is a senior with poor vision. Zona felt really comfortable with them. Nicole updated us daily with pictures. Her experience with animals made us feel at ease and we knew Zona is in good hands. We came back home to a happy dog and a clean house. Nicole and Steve are great and we will definitely use their help in the future!”
“First time using Jill and all went excellent. Regular updates with photos and details. House was spotless when we returned home and the boys told us they had fun. Thank you so much. Look forward to next time”
About: I have been pet setting for friends and family for the past fifteen years. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each and every fur baby I come in contact with. I do not have pets of our own, so we really take this time to provide all the love and attention to your pet while we have them Spending time with me . I have grown up with dogs and cats, my entire life, and once we moved to Charlotte, have helped our neighbors tremendously while they vacation our daily walks around our community. Days are that much more fun when we have someone to bring along with us , especially since we have a dog park walking distance from our home. I can’t wait to meet your loving pet, and give it the same love and attention it deserves. I work from home, so have unlimited time to give your pet attention and take for as many walks as needed. Typically I take two walks a day, but frequently take more when pet sitting there is an enclosed porch area that are smaller dogs that we watch like to hang out on to get sun and fresh air since our yard is not fully enclosed. On weekends that we are pet sitting, we make it a point to stay local and to include your pet in any of the activities that we do around the house. We have a large yard and an enclosed porch area that we can spend time with your dog on. Within walking distance from our house, there’s a small dog park as well. I spend a lot of time outside, walking multiple times a day and would be happy to have your pet accompany. My daughter Isabella is very mature and is excellent with helping. Keep your pet entertained if that is what they prefer. For the dogs that I have sat, and are not as active, I make sure that they have the space that they need and attentive enough to understand when there needs change.
“Isabelle made me feel really comfortable going through this process, the first time using a rover house sitter. She took great care of Bonnie, sent lots of pics and updates, and left my home so clean and tidy!! Will definitely be requesting Isabelle again, and so should you!!!!”

I am available all day for the days that aren’t listed as available on the calendar. It fits into my routine perfect to attend to pets needs and be patient with them. I will make sure and be on top of keeping them safe, fed, hydrated, and protected. Anything that poses a risk to help them escape will be closed off.
About: What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and genuine love for animals. I make it a priority to follow each pet’s routine exactly, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or cuddle time. I’m attentive to their needs, quick to notice changes in behavior, and always focused on keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable. I currently have open availability through September. I work at an elementary school, so once the school year begins, I’m typically available after 6 PM on weekdays, with open availability on weekends. I’m also happy to communicate with pet owners and work around their schedules whenever possible. While caring for your pets, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, from feeding and walk schedules to playtime routines and any special needs. I always keep their environment clean, provide fresh water, and give plenty of attention and affection. My goal is to make each pet feel at home, no matter where they are.
“Lindsey was great! Her communication was clear and her replies were prompt. She stayed overnight for 2 nights and took very good care of our German Shepherd, Max, while we were away. I would definitely recommend her if you're looking for a sitter for your furry friend!”
About: I’m a huge animal lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even horses. I grew up surrounded by animals, from our family pets to the horses I rode at a local ranch. I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I walked and cared for many different dogs. Dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I even have some experience with training them. I train my own dog since she was a puppy. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, playtime, or just some extra attention, I’m here to help! I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, belly rubs, and a great time while you take care of your daily responsibilities. Let me take your furry friend for an adventure—playing, running, or just enjoying a nice stroll. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my priority, and I promise to bring lots of energy, love, and care every time! Let’s chat and set up the perfect walk for your dog (or even your adventurous cat)! 🐾✨ Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home! I have a flexible schedule, so I can take dogs for walks, play, and give them attention throughout the day. It’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to! 😊🐾 I provide personalized care based on each pet’s needs, whether in my home or the client’s. For walks and drop-in visits, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. If caring for a pet at a client’s home, I follow their routine to keep things familiar and comfortable. My goal is to make sure every pet feels happy, safe, and well-cared for while their owner is away! 🦴🐕
“Allegra was absolutely wonderful with our pets! She took such good care of our senior dogs and cat, and we could tell they felt safe and comfortable with her. Allegra was a clear and consistent communicator, and she made sure to send us lots of pictures and updates while we were gone. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing the pets were in good hands! We will definitely be using Allegra for any future pet care needs ☺️”

Melisa is an outstanding house sitter as well as cat sitter. This time, Melisa sat for us for a week in July. She was responsible for taking care of our cat, our pool and our plants (indoor and outdoor). Of course everything was well taken care of. The additional thing that I really like about Melisa is that, besides being highly responsible, she is a warm person. It is important that the kitty likes her, but we do too! We have used her before and plan to do so again.
Leidy took excellent care of not only our two pups while we were away on vacation, but our home as well. It is an understatement to relay what a true sense of relief (only do you completely enjoy vacation when you know your pups and your home are safe and in great care)! Thank you again Leidy, thank you for the pictures of the dogs throughout the week! ❤️🍀 Next travel trip will happily request you again! ❤️🍀

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Holbrook on Rover is $42.39 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 6,272 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Holbrook. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Holbrook walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Holbrook maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Holbrook 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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.

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.
