About: I have owned animals my whole life and cared for them. I attended an animal science program for two years where I cared for dogs of all sizes and ages. My duties included walking, feeding, bathing, nail and fur trimming, and cleaning kennels. I have also pet sat for friends and family for 4 years taking care of both cats and dogs. I am currently a full time student but I do a mix of in person and virtual classes and take a light course load so I have plenty of time to fit pet care into my schedule. I can easily crate pets if needed, I am good at calming down animals in distress. I can also administer medication and follow special diets as needed.
“Amazing experience as usual. Keoma is my go-to sitter for my dog because I know I don’t have to worry about anything. She communicates, sends photos and videos, leaves my house spotless, and most importantly my pup is completely taken care of and happy 😊”
“Andrea was great with Ruby! She was super communicative, on time, respectful and sweet with my puppy. She also sent a bunch of pictures which I love! Ruby is nervous meeting people at first and Andrea didn’t force anything and made Ruby feel so comfortable she was sleeping for most of their time together - a great sign she was relaxed and comfortable! Thank you again”
About: Hello, My name is Leilani and As an animal lover, I find pet sitting to be a rewarding and enjoyable job. It allows me to spend time with furry friends and provide them with the care and attention they need when their owners are away. In my personal experience, I have had the pleasure of caring for animals for several years. During that time, I learned how to provide them with proper nutrition, and exercise. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have also taken care many dogs and other animals on multiple occasions. This has given me the opportunity to gain experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments, and has allowed me to expand my knowledge of animal care. Overall, pet sitting is a fulfilling and enjoyable job for those who love animals. It allows us to provide care and companionship to furry friends while giving their owners peace of mind knowing that their pets are in good hands. I'm currently working part-time, so l'll have plenty of time to play with your animals! I am available to house sit on weekends and weekdays, anytime after 12pm When a pet owner hires a pet sitter to care for their pet in the sitter's home, safety is often a top concern. As a responsible pet sitter i will take several measures to ensure that the pet is safe and secure during their stay. This may include providing a secure and comfortable environment for the pet, ensuring that the pet is supervised at all times, following any specific instructions provided by the owner, and having emergency plans in place in case of any unexpected situations. Communication between the pet sitter and pet owner is also essential to ensure that any concerns or issues are addressed promptly and effectively. By taking these steps, i can help provide peace of mind for pet owners and ensure that their pets are happy and healthy while in their care.
“John watched our 2 senior dogs, one of which needs alot of assistance some days. John kept us updated by sending pictures and we knew they were doing ok. It was such a relief to be able to go somewhere and know everyone was going to be fine when we returned. We definitely will be using him again when we have functions to attend. We highly recommend John!”
“Gabby is the beeeeest! Do yourself a favor and book her! She's the sweetest, most communicative sitter I've had. My girl and house were just as I left them. Will definitely book her again!!”
“BRENTLY WAS EXCELLENT!!! VERY COMMUNICATIVE AND ACCOMMODATING. MY BABY HAD A GREAT TIME AND THOUGHT HE WAS STAYING WHEN I CAME TO PICK HIM UP! I WILL DEFINITELY BE USING BRENTLY AGAIN!”
About: Hello! We are RuthAnn and Brandon, a husband and wife duo of lifelong dog lovers. We know that your dog isn’t just a pet… they are FAMILY! That’s why when your pup stays with us they aren’t just “guest dogs” they become a part of our family too. Plus there’s two of us so this means TWICE the love and attention of a regular sitter :) A little bit about us: We are the proud “aunt and uncle” to our family dogs, West and Sadie. We’ve added them to our profile so you can get to know more about them there. While they don’t live with us they visit us often and they are very friendly, so if they happen to be over during your pups stay, that just means more friends to play with! I am currently a nursing student in my last semester and my husband works in sales! So one of the biggest perks of booking with us is that our schedules are flexible. At least one of us is always home. So your pup will have constant companionship, potty breaks and plenty of belly rubs thought the day. We also have a large fully fenced yard that’s perfect for zoomies or a game of fetch! We want you to have total peace of mind when you book with us, so we offer meet and greets prior to booking, as well as regular updates, photos and videos of all the fun your dog is having. We can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! Seamlessly because we are home based and flexible. Between the two of us, your dog will have constant supervision and a routine tailored to their needs! We live in a fully fenced home so your pup has full access to a safe fenced yard for supervised play of course. Because Brandon and I are home, your pup gets a perfect balance of activity and rest. We follow your specific feeding and medications to a T (we know how important this is) and we love to provide plenty of belly rubs and cuddles on the couch. We keep a tidy dog proofed home and we keep fresh water available at all times!! We are a team that’s big on communication so you’ll receive daily updates with photos and videos so you can see exactly what your baby is up to. If your dog enjoys company, we love to facilitate play, if they are on the shyer more timid side and prefer one on one time, we can accommodate for that as well.
“Marissa did a fantastic job watching our dog on very short notice. Our dog is currently recovering from IVDD, has limited mobility and can be quite reactive and untrusting with strangers. Despite these major challenges, Marissa was incredibly patient, took amazing care of her and kept us reassured with regular updates throughout the day. We deeply appreciate her dedication and will absolutely book her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Sara! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pup is full of energy and needs long walks, or your cat just wants some quiet company, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have plenty of experience with cats of all ages. My cats at home are seniors. I’m good at making sure the animal gets to keep their routine. I am very good at knowing when cats or dogs want attention or need something. I have many years of experience dog walking with my friend. I am working part time right now so my schedule is really flexible. I will make sure to take my time to spend time with your pets. I love cats so much they are my favorite animals. Dogs are really cute and I love playing fetch with them! I think it’s important to never leave the door open and I’m very good about making sure the cat can’t escape. I’m a big believer on respecting cats boundaries. I can tell when they want attention or when they want to be left alone. With dogs I think it’s important to be attentive to them and listen to what they want. I also prioritize making sure I know where they are during the whole visit.
“Shewta was so great with our pup, Rico! She was attentive, communicative, and sent us several photos throughout the day, along with updates. Rico can be stubborn (as bulldogs go) but Shewta managed him perfectly. Would have her back to watch Rico anytime!”
About: I've got the " Mommy can I have A puppy?""experience. My daughter got a puppy when she was 5 years old for her birthday Guess who took care of it? Me. Then I took her trick or treating at 8 years old and instead of of coming back with candy, we came back home with a pit bull puppy cause this guy had a rope around his neck trying to get rid of it. Guess who took care of it? Me. Then 10 years ago she wanted another puppy. She ended up getting 2 , a sister and brother. She promised she would take care of of them and be responsible for them. Guess who took care of of them? Me. She's 30 years old now and nothing has changed. I'm still the sole care giver. Need I say more?
“Dayanara took such great care of our dog and bearded dragon while we were away for a week. She helped our dog adjust to our absence and maintained their schedules, including administering medications. We would definitely have Dayanara watch them again. She sent lots of updates and cute pictures of our pets. We missed them, but they were in great hands!”
“Kennedy took care of our baby Luna dog for 2 weeks while we were away, and she was absolutely amazing! We never had a chance to miss Luna too much because we received two daily updates with photos before we slept and after we woke up. She managed daily medication, cleaning of a small wound and even took Luna to the vet for her monthly injection. She was very responsive, easy to communicate with and we loved working with her. She even brought in our packages and left our house clean. Thank you Kennedy!!!”
About: Hello! I am a dog owner myself. I have a 70 pound Standard Poodle lap dog. I go for long walks in the evenings (about four miles) that can last over an hour. Being kept inside all day is not fun for human or pet!! I am always available for extra paws to join us! If a solo walk is better for your pup the extra exercise is welcome! I am trust worthy, dependable and love animals. I am typically available in the evenings and weekends. Daily house check-ins are possible if requested. experts at playing fetch, feedings and tug-o-war. Look forward to getting to know you and your pet! Any questions please feel free to ask away! Flexible work hours allow for flexible pet care hours. Lucky to have such a wonderful job! Love pets that much! ! ! ! ! ! Fenced yard and lots of walks! Tired humans and pets are happy humans and pets! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
“Justin was a great sitter for our Dobie Chief! My husband and I went away for a long weekend and last minute reached out to Justin for home sitting care having never booked him for before. He was quick to respond and was kindly flexible to agree to coming at 11am the next day and staying for the weekend duration. We had a brief meet and greet and departed for our destination. Justin is very calm, kind and asked great questions. We felt very comfortable right away and he did great with Chief. Definitely book Justin for your dog sitting need! We will be reaching out to him again for sure.”
“Samantha was great! We had an unique petcare request and she was exceptionally accommodating. She sent us updates and photos and our little guy was well taken care of. We highly recommend her to other Rover-subs.”

Kenine was absolutely wonderful with our girl, Topanga! 🐾💕 She really took the time to understand Topanga’s needs, her personality, and what makes her feel safe and comfortable. Halloween can be a little overwhelming for our girl with all the extra noise and excitement, so it meant so much to us knowing she was in such caring and patient hands. 🎃🥰 Kenine went above and beyond to make sure Topanga felt safe, happy, and most importantly, comfortable in her own home while we were away. We truly appreciate the love, attention, and kindness she showed Topanga and will absolutely be reaching out again! Thank you so much for loving on our sweet girl! 🐶❤️🐾
I cannot express enough how happy I am we found Phaedra! Shelby and Lucky instantly warmed up to her and we knew right away they’d be in great hands while we were away. She kept me updated the whole time and spent a lot of time working with Shelby, who is afraid of everything and is very reactive on walks, and it was amazing to see the difference in her from when we left to when we got back. We came home to happy pups and a clean house. I will definitely have Phaedra watch Shelby & Lucky again!
Julia was absolutely incredible. She watched my dog for 5 days and I felt very confident that my dog was in the best hands. She was communicative throughout her stay and kept me informed on how my dog was doing, any changes in behavior, and sent me pictures daily. She left my home exactly as I left it and even cleaned up before she left. I highly recommend Julia to care for your fur babies.

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.
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 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:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
