“Rachel did an awesome job caring for our dogs while we were away. She made sure to give extra care and attention to help with their separation anxiety, keeping them on their same routine. Her communication gave us peace of mind and she was very respectful of our home. Highly recommend her for house sitting!”
“We are so happy to have found Fiona! She is calm and knowledgeable with DesiLu and a polite and conscientious house sitter. We will definitely book her again. This is the first time we've left our dog and were very anxious about it. Fiona kept in contact with us, reassured us, and gave us a detailed recount of the day's schedule and activities. I really appreciate Fiona's compassion and patience and highly recommend her.”
“Eliza was amazing with our dog Wells! He is very anxious and we have a lot of construction going on outside and she kept him calm and gave him lots of love and attention. She also took great care of our home. Thanks so much Eliza!”
“Francis is simply the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! He provided daily pupdates, clearly bonded with our dog, and left our house in immaculate shape. We’d trust him to watch our dog anytime!”
“Sparkle was just amazing. It was obvious that our two pups were taken well care of. She provided lovely updates and kept our home very very clean while we were away. If we weren't moving out of town I'd for sure hire her again. HIGHLY recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of senior dogs for a while and tend to give medication and special care + attention. I have helped train puppies to do basic tricks. I have experienced two dog attacks (with my own animals) so I am aware of animal body language, boundaries, and tend to be very intentional with my care. I’m currently a college student who works part time on cam, so I have plenty of time to give your pets all of the love and make sure they get to go out on their walks. I can easily take care of your pet as long as I have instructions! I appreciate there to be a breakdown of your average day or expectation.
“Zach was great! He took care of our dog for five days in our home, paying special attention to Bentley’s unique needs. He sent updates, asked good questions, and left the house even cleaner than it was when he arrived. We’d definitely book with him again”
“Once again, Jess was the absolute best and took great care of my pup! I experienced a flight delay coming home, and without me asking, Jess went over to feed Obi dinner and get him out for a walk. I was so thankful for the peace of mind knowing Obi was taken care of, despite coming home late than expected. Jess is the absolute best— highly recommend her! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“Bryan did such an amazing job with my two pups, a golden retriever and a Bernese mountain dog. He sent me multiple updates, walked them a ton and sent me photos. I’d highly recommend him!!”
“Bangyun is a very sweet gal, who took very good care of our senior dog and cat. She provided daily updates and photos. Our senior dog requires additional support since he is diabetic and has incontinence issues. Bangyun was willing to learn how to give him his daily insulin injections, as well as ensuring he wore a diaper while she was away. Our home was left in great shape as well. When coming home, our flight was delayed requiring an additional night of care. Bangyun graciously agreed to stay with our fury friends the additional night. We will definitely use Bangyun again in the future.”
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. Also, I have been trusted to check on my neighbor's pets. I have volunteered at a local animal shelter where I fed cats and dogs. Also I walked the dogs. I'm currently taking college classes part time, so I have plenty of time to stop by and care for your pets. Also, helping others always makes my day. I keep track of how often a pet needs to be feed and always check their water. Also, I pet them and say hi if they are friendly or give them space if they are shy. When walking a dog I make sure their leash is secure and their collar comfortable. Safety and organization is my priority. I keep notes on an individual pet's needs.
“Ian and Susan were just fabulous. Ian spent the most time at our home and sent daily reports and lots of pictures. Finley had recently had surgery so needed close supervision. He was so well taken care of! We liked that Ian introduced him to some new places and experiences. Ian took great care of our house as well and it was nice and clean when we returned. We highly recommend them as sitters and will happily rebook them when the opportunity arises. Finley was sad to see Ian go!”
“Ryleigh took such great care of Ruby and was great about sending multiple pictures every day while I was gone. This is the second I’ve worked with Ryleigh and I’ll definitely have her stay with Ruby again in the future.”
“Dylan took such great care of my older dog, Brava. She was extremely responsive and provided great updates. Dylan took the extra effort to ensure Brava got plenty of walks before it got too warm outside and asked great questions to ensure Brava received the best care possible. I felt very comfortable leaving Brava in Dylan's care and hope to have her house sit again in the future.”
“Nicholas was fantastic. He took great care of both our dogs and was a fantastic sitter. He was absolutely responsible with the dogs and our house. Super communicative and easy to work with. We got plenty of updates and pictures. I will plan to use Nicholas again. I highly recommend.”
“I get nervous when I leave my husky with a new sitter, but I felt good about leaving him in Delaney’s care. He took to her really well during our meet and greet, and he looked very happy in the pictures Delaney sent. Delaney was very responsive and took good care of our home while she stayed there. I had peace of mind knowing that my dog was in good hands being well cared for. I would definitely recommend booking Delaney to look after your pets and home.”
“Erin was an exceptional sitter and cared very well for my dog. She was very responsive and communicative, very kind and understanding and I found my house even cleaner than I had left it! 10/10”
About: As a pet parent myself, I know exactly what it feels like to walk out the front door and feel that instant wave of worry; leaving your furry family members requires an immense amount of trust, and my top priority is making sure you feel completely secure, updated, and at ease while you’re away. I bring extensive, hands-on experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and cats of all personalities—whether that means managing a young puppy's strict potty-training schedule, giving a senior dog a gentle afternoon stroll, or respecting a cautious cat’s boundaries. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own, and I am committed to following your exact routine while providing detailed updates and plenty of photo check-ins so you never have to guess how they are doing.🦮💜🐾 Pet care is my top priority, and I structure my daily and weekly life entirely around my work. Because I plan my personal schedule to fit the needs of my clients, I have an incredibly open, flexible schedule. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or evening care, I am fully available to ensure they get consistent attention and love exactly when they need it. When caring for pets, safety and comfort are my absolute top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly home with my own dogs, so I am deeply familiar with managing multiple animal dynamics and maintaining a secure, supervised environment—including the ability to keep my dogs completely separated from yours whenever needed. Whether hosting pets in my home or providing drop-in care and walks at yours, I strictly follow all specific care instructions, double-check that doors and gates are fully secure, and always keep dogs securely leashed during outings. My goal is to maintain your pet's exact routine so they feel completely safe, relaxed, and loved.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 4,490 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
