“Alex was awesome 💯. He did everything we asked of him and more and my dogs loved him. I have one dog who is usually kind of a pain and likes to give people a hard time but she was great with him so I know the dogs really liked him. I also have a huge pond with big koi which are my other babies and I was super worried about them too because it's easy for things to go wrong with it and I showed him how to maintain it and backwash the filter and he did a great job, came back to the pond being perfect without any issues as well. We also have a little leopard gecko an inside fish tank so lots of things to take care of and he did it with ease and it made our trip so much better because this was the first time using this service so I was nervous. I am glad I found this now and hope I can use Alex again on our next vacation!!! Thank you!!!”
“So thankful we found J! She took amazing care of our dog. Mail was brought in, house was clean, and even washed the sheets and made the guest bed! Daily updates and photos were a bonus. Our dog looked so happy on his adventures! Will definitely use again.”
About: Hello there! I’m Kelly! I pride myself on being very open and communicative, especially with someone else’s furbaby! I know how hard it is to leave your pet, and you can expect a "love note" from them when you're away! April of 2016 I adopted an Australian Shepard--my copilot Marley. I quickly became "that dog woman." She goes everywhere with me. I started to take my neighbors two aussies with us on side adventures when their humans had to work. I took a lot of time to train my girl and we are working towards therapy dog certification to be able to spread the puppy love to local children's hospitals. I'm a graphic designer by trade which gives me the flexible schedule that I have! Love to draw and also an avid runner! In my off time i'm usually training or off adventuring with my Aussie and kiddos. I have a 2 and a 4 year old that are just as obsessed with doggos as I am! My dog loves people and other animals so much that I want to be able to the take care of dogs while their people are away or working. I know it puts my mind at ease knowing if I am out without my dog that she is safe, happy and having a good time. I want to do the same for other "pet parents." I work at night and during the day I’m living that mom and dog mom life. I’m mostly available for walks and possibly boarding in home if your doggo is pleasant and fits. I have a fenced in backyard with a shaded deck. Oh and a GIANT fan. We’re on our back porch often and it’s nice to have a break from the sun but still get fresh shady air!
“Jillian was beyond amazing. We had some schedule changes and she rolled with the punches and was there to look after our home and Dog. She sent photos periodically to let us know he was doing great but also didn’t overwhelm us while we were away. we will definitely be having her back.”
“Wow amazing! Amazing communication and even came by for a meet and greet with such short notice. One of our pups had some tummy troubles and she kept us updated the entire time and even made a vet visit on our behalf. The whole process she made a breeze. We will for sure be using again. She loves dogs.. it radiates off her!! Our boys seemed so so happy and we felt comfortable having her stay in our home.”
“Larry took great care of our pups, our house, our mail, and our house plants! He went above and beyond with multiple walks, fun adventures, and leaving our house nice and clean. We will book him again in a heart beat!”
About: I have been around and taking care of dogs since I could walk. I love all kinds and sizes of dogs. I will always put your dogs interests ahead of me when I take care of them. Making sure they are let outside, feed, fresh water, loved. Also if you’re interested in a dog lover look no further. If your dog gets dirty or has a mess I’ll clean up. If you need plants watered I’ll take care of it. If you need light cleaning around the house I’ll take care of it(like vacuum only if provided) bring in the mail. If needed to take you dog to their favorite place if able to or if your dog wants to just snuggle on the couch is awesome as well. I like being able to help whenever I can. I have a somewhat flexible schedule. I love dogs. If I get into a good routine with your dog all the better. I provide in your home service from walking or if you have a fenced in yard I’ll play with your dog outside. I provide safety by knowing my surroundings and knowing what your dog is capable of.
“Mary was very good at taking care of my cat , during our trip to the uk . She was prompt at replying to my texts about how Alfie was adjusting , and kept me informed of his eating patterns . Very happy with her service .”
About: I have had all kind of pets my whole life ranging from 130 lb mastiff bulldog mix to a 7 lb cat and I also have plenty of experience with fishtanks as well so I would be happy to take care of those too I'm very passionate about the well being of animals and will not only give them the best care but rest assured they will get lots of love aswell.

“Angelina was amazing! She took the time to come over before hand to meet Nala and learn her routine. We also got nonstop photos throughout our time away which was amazing and you could tell Nala was having so much fun! Highly recommend!”
“We left our two dogs with Valerie for a week. She has a lot of experience and treated our pups like they where her own. She stayed in our home and kept us updated daily. Our dogs where happy and healthy when we returned. I really appreciate her and will book her again for upcoming vacations. We have a senior dog and a puppy and she was great working with both of them. I highly recommend using Valerie for all your doggy needs.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Holiday
As always, Ashley is so amazing. She even stayed longer on each visit due to us being anxious after an incident that happened completely outside of her drop-in visits on our last trip. She always takes great care of our boys, and we will rebook her every time.
Karen was a fantastic sitter for our 2 cats. She is so friendly and kept us updated with pictures throughout her stay. She was always easy to reach, and seemed to really enjoy her time with our cats. Peace of mind is everything when leaving your pets with someone, and that’s exactly what we got with Karen. All around a great experience and will definitely book with Karen again in the future.
Zoe was amazing from the moment I messaged her. She was incredibly responsive and timely. She was thorough in asking questions about care needs and expectations. My pup needed some extra care with an ear infection and a severe fear of thunderstorms. Zoe was amazingly accommodating for every one of her needs going above and beyond. She communicated throughout our whole trip which made us feel more comfortable about leaving our pup. I would highly recommend Zoe, and plan to book her again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Holiday
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Holiday on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,591 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Holiday. 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 Holiday 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 Holiday 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 Holiday 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.
