“Tori matched well with our pet family needs. She is a good listener to instructions, communicates daily with notes and photos, and cares for Remy tenderly. She took great pains to manage Remy's quirks.”
“Tayler was amazing! Both of my boys warmed right up to her. She sent video and photo updates every day, sometimes more than once a day. I appreciated knowing my dogs were comfortable around her and were well taken care of. I’d definitely book with Tayler again in the future and would definitely recommend her to others as well.”
“Kiana did a wonderful job with our sweet dog! She was super responsible - with an initial meet and greet, check in beforehand and updates throughout her stay. Birdie took to her immediately, and we came home to a clean home and a happy dog!”
“Lauren did such a fantastic job caring for our puppy Rudy .. gave him lots of love and cuddles she sent lots of pictures and updates.. definitely will be using her again 🐾✔️🥰”
“Sarah came to my rescue on very short notice and took care of my older Golden Retriever. She sent photos of Winnie and kept me updated. I didn’t have time to fully prepare to have someone in my home and Sarah just rolled with it. She left my house in order and my dog seems happy. Thanks, Sarah!”
“Philip is amazing with my two dogs. He is very attuned to there needs and he definitely leaves my pups in the same condition I left them. Highly recommended”
“Amir took wonderful care of our puppies. He communicated with us frequently and sent many pictures. One of our dogs has separation anxiety. When we got home our puppies were so happy and relaxed. We have already booked Amir for another stay. We are very thankful to have found Amir!”
“We were pleased with Kiernan's care of our dog in our home. She followed our instructions, left our home in great shape, and even laundered her sheets and remade the bed. She took our dog on two walks per day, as we requested, in spite of rain and windy weather. She stayed in contact with us, sending photos and notes on Chiqui. We appreciated the great job she did, and we would hire Kiernan and Jay again.”
“Nadia was so great to work with. She made our dogs feel comfortable and gave frequent updates and photos. She is easy to communicate with and was able to navigate our complicated situation with our 4 dogs and handled our reactive dogs super well! We will always choose Nadia moving forward to trust with our babies!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own pets for years and taking care of family members pets as well. I’ve had multiple dogs and cats. I also have some experience with reptiles. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to watch and play with pets. I’m super flexible with schedules and can plan around anything. I have a fenced yard for my two dogs. Both dogs know, basic commands and enjoy enrichment activities. Both are fed twice a day and given plenty of attention.
“I am so grateful to Sparkle for taking such great care of our pooch and our home. I contacted Sparkle months before our 3-week vacation and we set up a few appointments to help Ozzie get comfortable and to make sure Sparkle was cool with him. All worked well and we had a great 3-week-long vacation! She was responsive and professional, and left us with a freshly vacuumed home and sheets in the dryer (I did not request this).”
“Judas did an amazing job with our dogs! One of them got sick right before we left, and Judas was willing to provide the extra care he needed and he did so very lovingly. He handled extra medications and the quirks of our dogs so well, and won over the heart of our shy, anxious boy. He was a great communicator as well! Can’t recommend Judas enough, we knew our boys were in great hands which is always such a relief.”
“Taylor is reliable, kind, timely, and an excellent dog sitter. He took wonderful care of our home and dogs while we were gone. He’s very communicative and left our house clean and tidy. We will absolutely be having Taylor return and highly recommend.”
“Narra was incredible! She came through for us in a tough bind and this being our first time using Rover and having someone house sit, we can’t recommend her enough! She was in constant contact with us, shared so many photos and videos and made sure our pups had quality outings twice a day! We felt so at ease knowing our boys were in her care and will 100% use her next time we need a house sitter. Thank you Narra!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10, 30 years of experience. Each individual pet is different and I want to love and give them the special attention they need. I have open availability. I am willing to work around your schedule and what’s best for you and your pet. Boarding or just drop in visits, either way I have a lot of love to give. Boarding, walking, or drop in visits, I will do whatever you and your fur baby need of me. From puppies and kittens to elderly dogs and cats I’m very adaptable.
About: Our family has always had dogs. German Shorthair, Cocker Spaniel, Weimaraner, and many Pugs over many years. Animals bring me joy and peace. I am recently retired after a long career in public safety and some time working in the office at a local elementary school. My kiddos are older now, so I have the flexibility to spend time with your animals. Over the years we have struggled to find the right care for our beloved pets. I want to be a part of that solution for you. I am retired, with only the usual scheduling issues (the occasional appointment, for example). Currently, I have lots of free time to work with. I'd love to gain some regular clients for stop in visits or house/pet sitting when needed. I like to provide the same level of care that I want my pets to receive. Making sure that gates are closed before letting them out into the yard, replenishing any needed food and water, checking on the house temperature, and generally ensuring that they have what is needed to be comfortable. All pets are different, some need play time and some need cuddle time to feel secure. I want to get to know your dogs well enough to know when things are right, and when they are not right. I take my role seriously when joining their "care team".
About: I love all animals. I have a very active puppy that loves walks and I know that everyone’s lives get busy. I try and be available as needed but I also work full time. My pet care experience has mostly been with my own animals. Everyone is busy and tend to work long days. It sucks when you feel guilty for not spending time with your dog. Luckily with services like this you are free from guilt and know that your dog is being taken care of. I love having the option of someone walking my dog (especially after a very long day). If you are comfortable with it my dog also loves new friends and long walks. I try and walk my dog everyday. I work full time but have a flexible schedule to care for animals. I have two dogs but I split them with my ex and on those weeks, I’m extra available. I have a large condo that has access to lots of walking paths and nature. The animal would feel safe and comfortable at my home. I’m also able to go to your home and provide care (that can be easier for pets). I currently watch a lot of my friends dogs when they are out and have shown that I care for their space and animals.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. As an adult I have house/dog/cat/child sat for many people. I’m known as “Auntie K” to my dog sitting families! I’ve administered medications to dogs & cats as well as specific diets and cared for multiple senior dogs and cats. Although I grew up surrounded by animals, I haven’t had my own dog since I was 19. Sadly, my crazy but lovable kitty passed a couple of years ago. As a result, I really enjoy taking care of other peoples pets until the time is right and I meet my own furry friend. I have plenty of time to hang with your pet(s). I am available weekdays, weeknights and weekends! I am generally available 4-6 hours for potty breaks if I am not off work at my other jobs. I am willing and able to follow all rules and requirements to care the very best for your fur baby(s). I prefer everything written down so I can make sure everything that is requested is done on time and the way you would like. I understand your pet(s) are like children and it’s important to care for them the way you would.

We found Jordan on Rover after our former dog/house sitter retired, and we couldn't be happier that we found her! Jordan not only provided in home sitting, she reinforced training with our spunky 3 year old Golden, took pur pups on outside enrichment walks around the yard, and provided lots of pictures throughout our time away so we didn't miss any of our dog's cuteness. Jordan is by far the best sitter we have had stay with our girls, she checked in daily to let us know things were going well and informed us if she needed to be away for any amount of time. We are so thankful to have Jordan as our dogsitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Holcomb is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $93 per night. 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.

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 Holcomb 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 Holcomb 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 Holcomb 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 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.

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.
