“Sam worked really well with my two large dogs (even though they both can be barkers) and even made friends with my cats. She also handled some unexpected hiccups at our house with grace, and I really appreciated that.”
“At first meeting, our Bouvier, Mila, is often very timid. Zi knows dogs’ mannerisms well and was so kind and patient so Mila warmed up to her quickly. They went out for long walks and got along very well. We will definitely contact Zi (Adriana) again.”
“Sydney interacted well with our dog, Bella. Sydney was able to provide the care we needed without worry. She provided updates and pictures to let us know all was taken of while we were away. We are hiring Sydney for our next trip.”
“Kira is wonderful with pets and very reliable. She stayed with my dog while I was on vacation and cared for him as if he were her own. Before we left she came over and asked many good questions to make sure she knew how to best care for him. She is a great communicator and I knew the whole trip that my dog was having a good time from the pictures she sent. I look forward to having Kira dog sit again in the future!”
“Madison did a good job caring for my senior dogs and house sitting. Her knowledge and care for dogs was evident. Good communication through the whole process. Highly respectful of my home and followed instructions. I would recommend Madison for your dog.”
“Kate is very conscientious and dependable. I’ve booked her in the past and will hire her any time I need a sitter for my two senior cats. They’re very shy, but she was able to draw them out for pets and attention. They love her!”
“Spencer did a great job. We appreciated the photos and communication. And very importantly, he didn’t just house sit our dog. He engaged with Bernadette and spent quality time with her.”
“Brandi has sat our dogs and cat multiple times now and has always been great! She’s attentive to their needs, updates us on how things are going in detail, and keeps the house clean. Knowing they’re in good hands is a relief as our pets are our children and are particular about new people.”
“Amanda did a wonderful job watching our home and our Sammy! This is the first time we’ve left him with anyone-and it was a great relief to see that he was absolutely fine and got loads of attention. We will definitely book Amanda again ?”
About: I've taken care of many dogs for friends and family members. Trained puppies for family as well as my own. Cared for older dogs who needed extensive care. Provided all types of care such as, walking, feeding, bathing, playing, and sitting. My schedule is very flexible so I have lots of availability. Morning drop offs and pick ups are great but can adjust as needed. Don't hesitate to reach out with questions. I have a spacious yard and only one small dog who gets along well with other dogs. My home does have space for a crate if needed.
About: I’ve had the joy of staying overnight with and checking in on my friends’ and neighbors’ cats and dogs of all sizes. I’m comfortable administering meds, managing high-energy dogs, and giving extra scritches ☺️ I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time during the day to take care of your pets! Evening and/or weekend visits will only be occasional. I’ll do whatever I can to help your pets feel safe and loved. Please let me know how I can go the extra mile to let them feel special!
About: My first job at 12 was dog walking/sitting but I have been a lifelong animal lover! I grew up with dogs and adopted my cat about 8 years ago. I have cared for both young and elderly dogs/cats as well as those with special needs and medical conditions. I am currently a stay at home mom with my five year old son. My availability is very open especially going into the summer months. Although I may not be able to do overnight stays at this time, I can do later evenings and earlier mornings. I do have a fenced in backyard that I can accommodate your pup with! I also have a dog in my home who is very friendly and would love play if you allow it. If not I will keep them separate. I can take your dog out to a local trail or walk them in your neighborhood. With cats I would be vigilant in keeping them away from open doors unless allowed. I know they love to explore small spaces and I take extra precautions to keep my girl safe! I love getting to know all the unique personalities of different cats, I love a good cuddle as well as some fun playtime. I have a special place in my heart for senior kitties.
“Nancy was very thorough with communication (including photos and videos). It was great to know that our dog was comfortable and enjoying her time with Nancy while we were away! Nancy took care with our home and when we returned, everything was as we left it. We would highly recommend Nancy as a house/pet sitter!”
About: I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood and enjoy a peaceful home environment. I work, stay active in my church, and love winding down with a good book or movie. I’m down-to-earth and will treat your dog like family. My daughter, who’s now abroad, used to dog sit and encouraged me to try it myself—knowing how much I love dogs, even though I’m not ready to have one full-time. I often helped her with dog sitting before she left, and truly enjoyed the companionship. It would be a blessing to care for your pet and offer you peace of mind. I’m flexible, reliable, and would have a great time making sure your dog feels safe and loved. I work hybrid, which means your pet will have plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I love taking regular breaks to go on walks, give belly rubs, or just relax with a furry friend nearby. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate feeding routines, bathroom breaks, and any special care your pet may need. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for your dog to relax comfortably. While I don’t have a backyard, I take regular walks in safe, green areas nearby and always supervise outdoor time. I follow your care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, and routines, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos. Whether in my home or yours, I provide calm, attentive care to help your pet feel secure and loved.
About: I have lots of experience dog sitting and caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I love keeping pups happy, active, and comfortable while giving them lots of love and attention! 🐶💕 I work during the week, but I’m mostly available in the mornings and evenings, with plenty of flexibility on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and lots of puppy love! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow their normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions. I make sure they get lots of attention, exercise, and affection so they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away.
About: Hi there! I’ve owned and loved dogs my entire life and can’t think of a better way to spend my days than taking care of your baby(ies) like they’re my own! On top of 10 years of owning and caring for my own dogs, I have 4 years of professional pet care experience. Open to elderly and medically complex dogs, and available for short notice bookings as well as most holidays. :) My schedule is pretty open, so I have all the time and attention in the world to give your furry friends. Open for both drop in visits and long term stays. I am happy to care for your pets in your home and, for longer stays, do some light housekeeping as well. In depth instructions for your pet(s) are my best friend; there’s nothing I want more than to know exactly how to make your baby feel their most comfortable. Don’t be afraid to go into detail!
“Sydney is great with our dog, Pinot, he is always so excited when she comes over. She has typically sent us a picture or two while watching him, which we love! She has also been super responsive and easy to work with.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Holland
Kira made our trip possible. We had her stay at our home for 13 days to watch and walk our dog Bugs. Kira stayed in touch with us the whole time, sending photo's, responding to our text messages. Our dog is getting older, so we were really nervous leaving him this time, Kira calmed our anxiety. The house was in as good as shape as we left it and she washed all her linens that she used. Highly recommend! Thank you Kira!
This is Sammie‘s second time watching my dogs and rats both of which need medication and she did a great job. She is very quick to respond, which is helpful and will help with other needed items like grabbing mail or packages. My travel anxiety has lessened, knowing that she is looking after my animals and my house. Thank you, Sammie!!
Sam did an outstanding job caring for all our fur babies! She treated them like her own and it gave this Momma peace of mind. She not only took care of their daily needs, she thought beyond and took care of their well being. I am very grateful and would love to use her for future needs. She also took great care of our home and the requests we had. We are new to the area and felt so good to come home to happy furry friends! Thank you, Sam!
Melissa did an amazing job housesitting for our two shepherds. She gave them walks, plenty of love, plenty of playtime, and she even offered to do some light housekeeping prior to the end of her stay. She was professional and was a great communicator throughout the five days. I will definitely have her sit for our dogs again. I had no concerns and thought that our dogs were in good hands.
Nancy was very thorough with communication (including photos and videos). It was great to know that our dog was comfortable and enjoying her time with Nancy while we were away! Nancy took care with our home and when we returned, everything was as we left it. We would highly recommend Nancy as a house/pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Holland 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 Holland 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Holland 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
