“Travis is amazing! He cared for Riley this weekend and did a great job! Came home to a happy dog. He is dependable, on time and truly has a special connection to dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Olivia took great care of our Sippi while we were out for the day. It took some time to find someone who we trusted to stay in our home while away and Olivia fit the bill. She is a very kind person and we will absolutely use her again. Thanks again Olivia!”
“Brianna and Tyler took great care of our dog Kingsley while we were on vacation in Florida. They house sat for us while gone and provided updates on Kingsley via text message. Thank you so very much and we hope you will watch Kingsley again in the future!”
“Melissa was very understanding of our very excitable dog and worked great with him. Felt very at ease trusting her with our pets and would absolutely book again if we are in need!”
About: I have helped my daughter take care of her dog when she was on vacation multiple times. I really enjoy going on walks, so your dog will be pretty active. I currently work part-time on Saturday and Sunday, totaling 10 hours. I am free to help with any pet care needs, and will not be out of the house for too long. Pets aren’t just pets, they’re family. I will care for your pet the way you would and make sure they’re getting the love and attention they need!
“Alissa did an a amazing job house sitting our doggy Baxter! The house was clean garbage was taken out which was above and beyond our expectations. Baxter was well tended to and responses and pictures were sent regularly! Will definitely call on Alissa again in the future thanks so much Alissa!”
About: I have years of experience with dogs! I worked at a dog daycare for two years where I learned grooming, nail trimming, gland expression, feeding, medication administration, etc. I have a very keen eye for all sorts of dog behavior. I grew up with dogs and understood training techniques early on. I work three days a week at the hospital, so Thursday-Sunday is typically fairly open for me unless I'm out of town for the weekend. I will ensure your pets are in a safe environment and all of my attention is devoted to them! I will work to build trust between myself and your pet to give them high-quality care.

“Leslie was quick to respond to my booking request, picked her up and dropped her off, communicated great all day, and overall did a great job! I am very pleased and will definitely consider her for any future needs! :)”
About: I’m a compassionate, responsible, and animal-loving person with years of experience caring for children, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and reliability. I’m currently pursuing my master’s degree in social work, where I continue to build strong communication and empathy skills. I bring that same care and understanding to every pet I look after and treat each one like my own! I am currently getting my masters degree in clinical social work which prohibits me from getting a full time job, so I would love to fill the openness of my schedule with caring for animals! I love all animals! I grew up with dogs, and I currently have two cats who I adore. I offer compassionate care and value safety of your animals as a top priority!
About: I’m a former pet parent with over 20 years of experience raising rescues. I am missing the energy of dogs and cats and am here to give back to the community as an experienced caregiver. Experience with dogs of all ages and breeds and also cats. I currently work a part time schedule that allows for a lot of time for your pet. Also available for overnights in your home depending on the distance and availability. I keep a very clean home and a tidy yard for your pet. Crates are always welcome. I do not have a fenced in yard, but it sits up against a nice ravine. Happy to let roam in the yard on a rooted line or walk on the path to Peabody park.
About: I’ve been around animals since I was 8 years old, when my family adopted a miniature schnauzer. Even before then, we had everything from hamsters to fish and the like, kid pets, ya know? Following our dog’s passing, I’ve helped care for a senior cat that my parents had and also three different orange cats that my wife and I have shared over the last three years! Being a cat owner, there isn’t too much of my non-work daily or weekly schedule that isn’t taking care of them: cleaning the litter box, keeping their automatic feeder and water filled, giving them wet food and playing with them! Caring for your cats animals as I have in the past will fight right in with my schedule, and I can’t wait to work with you! I always make sure to take myself on a walk daily, and I’d love to take your best friend with me! I get in 1-2 miles daily, but I am willing to adjust this to fit your pets needs. In your home I’d love to feed, spend time and play with, and care for your pet.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for both large and small dogs, including overnight pet sitting. I know how important it is to feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands while you’re away! My goal is to make every dog feel right at home by providing plenty of love, attention, and personalized care. I prioritize daily walks, exercise, playtime, and, of course, lots of snuggles! Whether your pup loves staying active or prefers relaxing on the couch, I’m happy to accommodate their personality and routine. We recently moved into a new home with a fully fenced-in backyard, giving your pup plenty of safe space to run, play, and explore. I treat every dog like part of the family and strive to provide a fun, comfortable, and loving home away from home. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged best friend! I work full-time but have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day and evening. I prioritize making time for regular potty breaks, walks, exercise, and playtime! My goal is to ensure every pup feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for, whether they’re staying for the day or overnight. We recently moved into a new home with a fully fenced-in backyard, providing a safe and spacious environment for dogs to run, play, and explore! Our home is clean, comfortable, and dog-friendly, with plenty of room to relax and feel right at home. I prioritize safety, supervision, and maintaining each dog’s normal routine to ensure they feel comfortable and secure.
“Hannah was fantastic! She helped us out very last minute, punctual and reliable. She took excellent care of our Louie and Lily and gave us frequent updates. We can’t wait to have her come back!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have cared for all kinds, from little dachshunds to big Belgian Malinois (including retired police dogs). I’m confident handling different personalities and energy levels, and I always treat pets like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I work full‑time, Monday through Friday, from 9–5, and I occasionally work overtime on the weekends. Because of that schedule, most dogs may be alone for up to 8 hours during a workday. I don’t host pets in my own home, but I’ll happily come to yours so your pets stay comfortable in their own space. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pets feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away.
About: My family has had dogs on and off since I was a child. I’ve also been dog sitting for friends and family over the past 5 years-in many capacities: day visits, overnight, single and multiple dogs, different age ranges, breeds and dog walking. I don’t have a lot of cat sitting experience but have friends/family who have cats. I work from home 2-3 days a week, so I’m available more flexible on those days. Weekends and weeknights, I’m a bit more flexible to care for pets overnight or provide drop-ins throughout the day. I have no pets in my house, so your pet(s), will get my full attention. I don’t have a fenced in back yard but am able to use lines if needed, I also have space to kennel your pet if needed. My house is a split level, so I have stairs to get to either floor of the house. My parents do have dogs (in a different household), so if you pets don’t get along with other dogs please let me know.

FAQs for House Sitting - Holland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 370 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Holland. 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 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.
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 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 with handling special pet needs in Holland. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
