“I cannot say enough how happy I was with Blakey! It was our first time leaving them with someone in our home and my 2 dogs didn’t even act like I had been gone when I came back! I’m pretty sure they were happy being spoiled by Blakey! Will definitely book her in the future!”

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I just love being around them. I have a dog of my own that I will do anything for. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm I care for pets as if they are my own children. I love on them with care and support and play with them until they are tired.

About: I am Shaylei, I am 25years old, and I love working with animals. I have had many different types of animals like dogs and cats to take care of while I was growing up. I also work at the Noble Dog Lodge so I do have professional dog care experience as well. I like the cuddlers, playful, and lazy doggies. I can also teach your dog a few tricks if you’d like as well. I know how to teach sit, stay, shake, and a couple more! I’ve dealt with harder to work with dogs, and very laid back dogs. I’ve dealt with Chihuahuas and Dobermans so any size works for me. I've also worked with the hyper puppies and the senior dogs that just need patience. Your pet will be in good hands if you decide to choose me as your main provider for your pet care needs. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I do work fulltime at a dog boarding and daycare facility. On my days off, I don't mind continuing to provide excellent care for animals that need some extra love while their parents are away. Weather I stay the whole day or do a drop in visit, I always make sure to give each pet the same care and attention. I know your babies miss you and you miss them while you're away. I want them to feel good about me caring for them. So, weather we play fetch, cuddle, or go on a walk I will always treat your babies with the respect and happiness they deserve.

About: I’ve been breeding and raising golden retrievers since I was 16, I’ve been a professional groomer since I was 18. But my love for animals started when I was just a little girl. 🩷 I’m currently in my third trimester and I am a stay at home mom to be. So I am very flexible in my day to day schedule. I prefer to pet sit in the client’s home to make the pet feel the most comfortable and confident, while the pet parent is away.

She took care of both my large dogs with absolutely no problems, she provided updates on her own and when we inquired. The girls loved that she played with them both outside and inside. I know we will be using her again!”

About: I have taken care of animals my entire adult life. I have always had pets of my own. I did pet sitting for 20 years. I am a certified dog trainer and I was a breeder of quality med Goldendoodles for 10 years. I am retired and live with my three Goldendoodles. We live in the country on a half acre. I am home most all the time. In my retirement I am able to stay at your home 24/7. This gives you piece of mind that someone will be at your home all the time and not just popping in for visits.

About: Hello! I have 12+ years of experience caring for pets. 10 years caring for a multiple pet household and 3 years of pet sitting experience. Big and littles! I am new to Rover but can provide references from families I have pet sit for outside of Rover. I can handle medications and other daily needs. I have a lot of fun with animals but understand they also need a lot of structure. Most of my experience is with high drive and energy dogs that I know require exercise, enrichment, and structure. I have experience navigating training tools like ecollars if your pup utilizes those, and would follow your specific training system for your pet. We can go on walks in your neighborhood or a drive out to a walking trail. I’m familiar and comfortable with pups that are crate trained as well. Anxious doggos are no problem, I would just want to get info on how you best care for them when they struggle. I welcome dogs of all ages, and especially love carrying on any training you may be doing with your puppy or adult dog.i live in Rutherford county nc but am available in the greater Asheville area since my work is flexible locations. I work out of the home most of the time but I make my own schedule and work within the community. So I’m able to schedule check ins through out the day. However, because of this, I typically keep puppy or high needs (requiring constant monitoring) to weekends and holidays. My husband also helps with check ins throughout the day and some days, I am home most of the day since I have some hybrid work as well :) but I like to do a walk in the morning and evening, at least. I also enjoy enrichment time with indoor activities or training in the evenings or during poor weather. I am available many holidays, just reach out. I am okay with fenced or unfenced, as I am happy to walk your pup with a leash. I would want to know if they have issues walking though so I can plan for that and ensure it’s an enjoyable experience for everyone :) i take care of the home i am sitting as much as the animals, and i pride myself on leaving things better than i found them. I’m very meticulous and usually, you’ll hardly know I was there.

About: Hi, I'm Heather! Thanks for stopping by. I've spent the last 25 years working with animals in a variety of professional settings. I've worked as a dog trainer, groomer, veterinary assistant, pet sitter, and in boarding and daycare facilities. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs medications, I'm committed to providing safe, reliable, compassionate care and keeping you updated while you're away. Pet care is a central part of my daily life, not something I squeeze in around other commitments. When caring for your pet, I strive to keep their experience as consistent and stress-free as possible. Whether they're staying in my home or I'm caring for them in yours, I pay close attention to their individual needs, preferences, and comfort level. My home is dog-friendly, with a secure fenced yard and dog door access. Pets staying with me are welcome on the furniture and bed if that is allowed in their home, though I'm happy to follow any household rules you prefer. When providing drop-in visits or house sitting, I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I am dependable, detail-oriented, and mindful of both your pets' well-being and the security of your property. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing that your pets and home are in capable hands. Safety is always my top priority. With more than 25 years of animal care experience, I am comfortable recognizing stress signals, managing introductions between animals, administering medications, and adapting care to each pet's individual needs and temperament. Because every animal is different, I carefully assess compatibility and can separate pets when needed to ensure everyone remains comfortable and safe. For boarding, I only accept dogs that are well-socialized and have no history of aggression toward other animals. I can offer pick-up and drop-off when boarding with me. I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals beyond dogs and cats, including horses, goats, sheep, poultry, birds, reptiles, guinea pigs, and other small animals. I am happy to care for multi-pet households and can also help with plants, gardens, and other basic home-care tasks while you're away.

About: I love all animals. I will play with them, walk them, and be sure to give them lots of love and attention. I have had pets my whole life and I am used to many difffent types of breeds. I am willing to walk them, jog with them, and just lay around and relax with them. If I could just sit pets for my whole life as a full time job I would. I can look after both your pet and your house! Both will be in very good and capable hands. I know how important pets are, they are like family. I am the most free on weekends, but can do some things during the week in the evenings and mornings before work. I’m off on Fridays during the summer. I treat my own pets like family, and will do the same for yours. I will follow all of your guidelines and be sure to give them the love and attention they deserve.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hollis

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 255 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hollis. 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 Hollis 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 Hollis 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 Hollis 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 Hollis. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
