“Camille was so professional, communicative and responsive to our dogs needs! We really appreciated the photos and videos she sent of our dog while we were out of town and missed him! He fell in love with her the second he met her, as she is really great with animals and reading their behavior and personalities. I would absolutely recommend Camille for all of your pets needs!”
“Jewel was quick to respond to my request and asked many good questions before agreeing to house sit. She also wanted to have a meet and greet before our appointment which I really appreciated. She is very communicative, thorough in terms of what is expected and knowing what the dogs need, and very good-humored; she even took notes during our meeting. The dogs were immediately comfortable with her and I was perfectly confident leaving them in her care. She gave me updates during the day, and everything was great when I returned. The dogs were happy and so was I. I would certainly request her to stay with them again.”
“Cynthia watched my pup overnight and took such good care of him. I felt at ease knowing he was not alone and with someone who genuinely likes dogs (even old cranky ones like mine). Thank you so much Cynthia!!”
“Second time using Marlene and she was just as stellar as before! So happy to have her to take care of my boys! She sent update photos when she was with them and provided stellar care”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 4 (when I got my first puppy). Everyone who knows me knows I’m a natural dog lover. I’ve done many overnights with dogs of all sizes, all breeds, and all energy levels. I’ve fostered two dogs, both with medical / behavioral issues and have volunteered at the shelter for years. Dogs are my passion. Just looking to extend my care and love to your furry friends :) I am fairly flexible, especially on the weekends. Please message me with any inquiries and I’d be happy to discuss your needs!!! Thank you :) I live in a 6th floor walk up. It can be a bit challenging for senior or special needs dogs, but am totally willing to take them if they are capable! Would need their crate if they have one.
“Imani stayed at our house for a week to watch our 2 dogs and cat while we were out of town. She was great with the animals and it was clear that the dogs absolutely loved having her around. This was the first time we left our animals for an extended period of time but Imani was very considerate and went out of her way to make sure the dogs felt safe and comfortable, especially during 4th of July fireworks. We will definitely be using Imani again when we go out of town! Thank you!”
“I cannot recommend Keoma enough- they were such a life saver this past weekend when I had to book a last minute trip because of a family emergency. They were communicative during the entire process and really went above and beyond to care for my very energetic boys. I felt like they were being watched by family. Next time I have a trip, planned or not, I for sure will be contacting Keoma. Thank you again for watching my kids and taking such amazing care of them ❤️”

“Juan was fantastic! Kept in touch and updated me with pics, asked all the right questions about caring for our dog, even managed to give him a bath, which is pretty impossible! Would definitely trust him, and book again. Top sitter!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Jonnalyn took great care of my pups and was very responsive during the two days we were away. Very polite and punctual. We definitely recommend her as pet sitter , looking forward to having her watch our furry ones again✨✨”
About: I've worked at a doggy daycare where I was exposed to all kinds of dogs. At the daycare, I supervised and took care of the dogs. I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was little, and I walk my dog at least two times a day for at least 45 minutes. I am currently working part-time, so I have a lot of time to incorporate your fur babies into my lifestyle. I am usually available at certain times everyday since my schedule is extremely flexible. I have an extremely friendly shih tzu with me in a smoke-free home. I prioritize cleanliness and I have all basic dog essentials. Plus, I have a lot of toys that your baby would enjoy.
About: Hi! My name is Jalal, I’m 22 years old and I have 4 years of experience taking care of both dogs and cats. I truly love animals and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I can help with: • Dog walking 🐕 (long or short walks, based on your pup’s needs) • Cat sitting 🐈 (feeding, playtime, litter cleaning, cuddles) • Pet sitting at your home 🏠 (keeping your pet company, making sure they’re safe and happy) I’m responsible, patient, and very energetic — perfect for pets that love to play or need extra attention. Whether your furry friend needs exercise, care while you’re away, or just some company, I’m here to help! Can’t wait to meet your pets and give them all the love and care they deserve 🐾 I love spending time with pets! I make sure they get walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of love every day, keeping them happy and safe I always prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. In my care, pets have a clean, secure space to relax, and I closely supervise them during play and walks. I follow any instructions from the owner regarding food, medications, or routines, and make sure pets feel loved, calm, and safe at all times.
About: I've cared for both dogs and cats my whole life-- I've never lived without a pet! I also have experience as a volunteer caretaker through my local animal shelter, and a deep passion for animal welfare and happiness. I work part-time and am a part-time student, so please check my calendar for availability. I have class from 4-9pm Tuesday & Wednesday and my work schedule is typically the day shift on Monday and Thursday. Again, if there are any deviances, I will mark them on the calendar! I'm happy to let your pet set the pace-- if they're a cuddle bug, I'll give them snuggles, and if they need some time to warm up, I'll sit quietly while they get used to me. If your puppy feels the need for speed, I'll take him on a sprightly jog, but if your senior prefers to take the scenic route, we can stop and sniff every tree. I'll listen to your instructions and preferences and theirs.

“Brently was absolutely amazing with our 6 month old samoyed puppy. He was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. He took Apollo for many walks and gave him lots of exercise and potty breaks. Brently stayed in our house for a few nights and was a very respectful guest and kept everything spotless. We came home to Apollo being happy, healthy, and in a great mood. Wonderful experience overall. We definitely will be seeing him again! Thank you soo much!!”
“This is the second time we have had Julia sit for us. She followed directions to the letter, walked our old puppy as directed. She is professional, on time and the animals loved her.”

This was our third time having Kenine watch our dog, Sky, and she’s been amazing every time! She takes great care of Sky and always sends thoughtful updates and photos that give us so much peace of mind while we’re away. We’re so happy to have found someone we trust and are grateful to have her as our regular sitter. Highly recommend!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hollis on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 18,693 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.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
