About: I would love to house any pet (Cat/Dog) while you are away. I've had a cat growing up and know what's it like to love a little one and have to trust others to care for it. I would provide the best care needed for any furry friend, as well as the attention they require. I have been walking dogs for over a year now, but have cared for pets of family and friends. I love the strongest from Pitbulls to the smallest ones. I can exercise with your active dog or lounge around, we will have fun regardless! I like to go for runs and would love to bring a four-legged friend. I can provide care for the most energetic dogs or cats, or my total attention to a puppy that is still in training. Daily walks around the neighborhood, photo updates, baths and grooming also available. *I am open to caring for pets with medical or special needs/ any specific requests* I only work a part time job. I’m available to do morning walks and afternoon walks with your pup. I’m only away from my home for about 4 hours. I live in a house. I have extra caution by placing baby doors on my front entrance. I also place an airtag on them during their stay.

About: Hi, my name is Julia, and I am a Master of Library Science student. I have been caring for pets my entire life and have experience looking after, walking and administering medication for pets of all shapes and sizes. This includes senior pets. I have been dogsitting for friends and family for several years including long term, overnight stays. I’ve looked after everything from a tiny shih tzu to two Belgian Malinois-sized rescues at once. Since moving from Florida to start my graduate studies, my family has been caring for my two rescue cats Yoshi and Cori, whom I miss dearly. I am offering drop-in visits, house sitting and dog walking services. Availability: Every day except after 3 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. As my family and friends can assure you, I treat every pet I meet with love and care, as if they were my own. I hope to care for yours too ❤️ I am in school full-time with a schedule that leaves me a lot of availability during the day. My classes are on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays starting at 4 p.m. Every other time of the week, I’d be happy to lend my pet care services. I am a diligent caregiver with a watchful eye who likes to respect a pet’s autonomy. I am patient and respectful of cats that may be shy or dogs that may be nervous but open to a good cuddle with a pet that might need it.

About: I have over 7 years of active, hands-on experience raising, training, and caring for dogs of all sizes, including large and powerful breeds like Rottweilers. Since 2018, I have been fully responsible for managing daily exercise routines, structured neighborhood walks, and feeding schedules.Beyond dogs, I am highly comfortable caring for cats, and other household animals. I am very attentive to animal body language, making sure your pets stay safe, comfortable, and appropriately active while you are away. Rain or snow, I stick strictly to your pet's schedule. Pet care fits smoothly into my weekly routine because I am an early bird who loves getting out of the house early to stay active. I prefer being highly proactive about my availability, meaning I only accept bookings on days when I am completely free and can dedicate my full attention to your pet. Whether you need structured early morning exercise routines, mid-day check-ins, or reliable evening walks, I communicate clearly and stick strictly to your pet's established schedule. When caring for pets in a client's home, safety is my absolute priority. I am highly attentive to animal body language and know how to maintain structural control when walking larger, powerful dogs on a leash. I strictly respect your household environment, adhere to your exact safety rules, and keep outdoor routines secure by avoiding any unpredictable interactions with strange dogs or crowded spaces.

Lia was amazing with Fido, and we trust her completely. We are planning another vacation in a few months and Lia is the person I will definitely book it. I hope she will say YES : )”

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.

“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: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been something I'm passionate about. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages for family, friends, and through my professional experience. Whether it's going for walks, providing enrichment and playtime, feeding, or simply giving them love and attention, I enjoy making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and comfortable. I previously worked at a dog daycare, where I supervised and cared for large groups of dogs, learning how to understand different personalities and make sure every pup had a fun and safe experience. I now work at a veterinary emergency hospital, where I help care for and stabilize pets while supporting and communicating with their owners. This experience has taught me how to recognize changes in a pet's behavior, stay calm under pressure, and provide compassionate, dependable care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care that I would give my own, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Im currently working full time, 3-4 days of the week. I’m an available to play and care for your pup(s) during my free time as needed! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. With my experience working in a veterinary emergency hospital, I'm trained to recognize signs of illness, injury, or stress and know how to respond quickly if a problem arises. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I'll follow your pet's routine, respect any special instructions, and keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in safe, loving hands.

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hollis

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Hollis on Rover is $64 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $54 and $73 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 18,851 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

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.
