“Michelle was amazing!! We just moved to the area and were nervous to leave our pets with someone we didn’t know, but Michelle quickly put us at ease and the pets took to her right away! She treated them like her own and it was obvious how much she loves animals. We have acreage and a cat who loves to try to escape. Michelle was extremely careful and watchful to make sure all 3 dogs and 2 cats all stayed safe. She sent pictures throughout her stay at our house and updated us often. She even tidied up the house, washed the bedding and left us the sweetest note. Highly recommend using Michelle and we will definitely hire her again!”


About: I currently have 2 fur babies of my own, a chihuahua mix and a standard poodle. I grew up with dogs and have experience making them feel loved and making sure they are well taken care of. I want to make sure your babies feel loved on and at home! I am a dog mom 24/7. I would love to take care of your pets the way I do mine! Dog walks can be given during the day and I also can drop in to check on your babies during the day as well! If your dog is coming to my home, I will make sure to give a warm introduction to my dogs to make sure they are comfortable. My dogs have lots of toys and your dog can bring some too! I stick to a routine with my pups, so that is something I am willing to do for yours!

“ABSOLUTELY FIVE STARS!!! Will be using her everytime!!! She kept our dogs at our air bnb for the day so we didn’t have to worry about them needing to go to the bathroom or getting anxious in a new setting. Sally absolutely rocked it with our great dane and pitbull Mix! Out great dane weighs 163lbs and our pitty weighs 55lb so she could definitely handle her own!!!”


About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s excited to start pet sitting. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. I currently have a cat of my own, and I grew up with a family dog who was a beloved part of our family until he passed away from old age. My grandmother also had several dogs while I was growing up, so I’ve spent years around dogs of all different personalities and energy levels. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat every pet with the same patience, affection, and care that I give my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and always happy to follow your pet’s routine and any special instructions to help them feel right at home. Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine. I care for my own cat daily by making sure she has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention and playtime. I’m used to planning my day around an animal’s needs and understand the importance of keeping pets on their regular routine. If I’m caring for your pet, I’ll make sure they get the time, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I always aim to keep pets as comfortable as possible by following their normal routine. In a client’s home, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (if needed), and bedtime routines so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I’ll also make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and exercise based on their personality and energy level. I respect your home by keeping it clean and secure, and I’m happy to send regular photo and text updates so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away. If caring for a pet in my own home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, and a consistent routine to help them feel comfortable and at ease.
“Rebecca was amazing with my pup! She was very attentive and took her out frequently! She left our residence in perfect shape as well. I had no concerns while we were away and felt very comfortable with her care. I highly recommend! 😊”


“We are so glad our friends referred Chuck to us for house sitting our two big boys! Chuck did an amazing job--not only did we come to a clean house, but our dogs were well taken care of and we received multiple updates throughout the day. We definitely trust Chuck with our boys and house and will be booking him in the future.”
“Macy did an EXCEPTIONAL job from the very start! She has a wonderful, kind personally and is very easy to talk to. I could tell right away that she was going to be attentive to our pet's needs by her interactions with him and the questions she asked. She was punctual to the appointments and communicated to us via text on anything she felt may be good for us to know. I loved receiving the ext messages she went and the pictures of our pup while we were gone and knew he was in good hands. The day prior to the pet sit, she visited for a "meet and greet". That was so helpful, and important, because we were able to cover all the details in his profile, ensuring everything she needed to know was documented and that she could refer to it if needed. And in doing this, I realized I had left out some information that would of been good for her to have. So I was able to get his profile updated with this info before the actual first sit took place. There is no doubt in my mind we WILL be having Macy come again soon and she is now our #1 pet sitter! We are totally confident in her ability to watch over him and we know that she will care for him with the love and respect as if he were her own.”

“Meri was very responsible and caring. She took great care of Bubba and Panda. The dogs were happy and well fed. My home was immaculate when I returned. I would be happy to use her again.”

About: I have grown up with animals all my life! I love all kinds of animals and love going on walks with dogs the most! I’ve stayed with dogs and cats while family and friends have been out of town. I’m currently working a full time job but i take care of animals before work and after work. I get off work early on Thursdays and Fridays as well I don’t take care of animals at my house due to my parents being allergic to cats/dogs. I usually come to the house to take care of animals/house sit
“Megan sat with my fur babies for 7 days in my house while we were on vacation. She texted pictures and communicated through out the week. Having her take care of my dog and cat in their own home was a blessing and definitely helped with having less stress being away for so long. When I did get home, Roux and Salem looked healthy and happy.”
About: Caring for rescue dogs has been part of my life since I was a kid. I helped my grandmother foster 13 rescue dogs, handling everything from potty breaks and baths to brushing and playtime. I’ve also fostered and adopted pets of my own and even volunteered at adoption events. Because of this, I understand the patience, love, and attention every pet deserves — whether they’re shy rescues or playful companions. Your pet will be treated like family with me. I’m currently pregnant and available often, especially in the afternoons. I may have occasional OB appointments, but I always keep clients updated so your pet’s care is never interrupted! 🐾 ❤️ I provide loving care in your home or mine. Pets get walks, potty breaks, playtime, and attention, and I follow their routine. I also have access to a nearby fenced dog park and pet wash station for safe exercise and fun.
“Janee was a perfect pet sitter for our two dogs and gecko. She sent great pictures and videos every day. Timely, thorough and dependable! Dogs were healthy and happy even after this longer than typical trip for us. Would definitely recommend Janee!!”

I’m from the south and have come across all types of puppies (including gator pups) I have no problems in gaining new friends :) I am currently free lancing in artistic endeavors and having a friendly pet would help with the time I’m at home needing a little company and a less… talkative version than human conversation! I love animals and have experience with all types! (I’m from Louisiana so I mean ALL types) including the senior doggies ;) I have a closed in front patio with a little nature-esque ground for quick potty breaks and just to sunbathe when the need arises. I take walks often and live in a neighbor hood away from a busy strip so I can keep pets safe and exercised!

FAQs for House Sitting - Holden
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 433 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Holden. 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 Holden 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 Holden 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 Holden 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.
