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.

About: I've taken care of all types of pets since I was 8. Ranging from 3 month old puppies to 15 year old seniors. Family and friends have relied on me to walk and care for their pets. I am also currently in college pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. I'm currently in college and working part-time but I will have more than enough time to truly care for and walk your pups! I will put great amount of time and energy into each walk. I have 3 dogs which I have cared for, for many years and take on extensive walks 3-4 times a day. I know how to leash-train and can deal with pulling. Dogs tend to trust me quickly because I take time to let them know I’m here to care for them. I make sure my animals and those of others feel all my love.

First time arranging a sitter for my cat and I was nervous, but I got Christy and she has been amazing and lovely. Cats can be cats and I worried if my girl got overstimulated and took a “stop petting me now” swipe a sitter would be upset, but Christy gets cats! I got updates and photos every visit and she made sure I knew my kitty was doing well. It was such a relief that she genuinely likes my cat! Will definitely be using Christy again!

About: Feathers, Fur, and Everything In Between Hey there! I’m Joanne, and I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals. My Experience: * Bird Mom: I’ve owned exotic birds for 15 years. * Vet Assistant Perks: I spent time working in a vet clinic, so I have experience working with cats and dogs. I know what to look for to make sure everyone is healthy and safe. * Shelter Volunteer : I’ve spent plenty of time volunteering at shelters, which means I’m great with small animals and exotics. My Philosophy: Whether I’m hanging out with your cat, walking your dog, or making sure your bird is chirping, I treat your pets like they’re my own family. You’ll get plenty of photos and updates so you know they’re having a good time while you’re away. Bottom line: Your pet’s comfort is my #1 priority. Let’s chat and see if I’m the right fit for your family ! By day, I’m working at the hospital, but in my off-hours, I’m all about the animals. Since my work life is all about care and attention to detail, I bring that same energy to looking after your pets during my free time. I’ve spent 15 years keeping exotic birds, and I currently have two budgies of my own. They get flight time, fresh water, and a spread of fresh veggies every single day—and I bring that same "spoiled and healthy" standard to every pet I watch. Whether you have a dog, a cat, or a feathered friend, I’ll make sure your pet gets the same experience. I make it my mission to ensure every pet in my care gets the exercise they need and their meals exactly how they like them.

About: I’ve taken care of and trained my own dog and cat for the past 6 years and before that, dog-sat for family, friends, and neighbors for several years, including walking, feeding, bathing, playing, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s personality and routine. I’m super comfortable with energetic pets who need exercise, as well as shy or older pets who need extra care, calm attention, and consistency. I will always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I've also taken care of birds, mice, and bunnies, so I would love to help out with any of those, too! I'm currently a University of Pennsylvania student home for the summer! I'm working an internship but am completely free in the evenings and on the weekends! I make safety and comfort my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, and favorite things so they feel secure and cared for. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and send regular updates. I’m attentive on walks, careful around other animals, and always make sure pets get the right mix of exercise, affection, and calm downtime. At my own home, I have a large completely fenced yard with cameras for additional safety. I also live across the street from a park so for the energetic ones, I have lots of opportunities to take them out!

About: Hi my name is Brian and I’m a big animal lover I love all types of animals! Whenever I visit my aunt I always take her dog on a walk because he’s so energetic and large they can’t walk him since he pulls them, Thankfully my size helps because I can’t be dragged along! I usually clean and change my birds water every day but i can walk dogs on my free days outside of clssses since those days are in the afternoon. I am a very cautious person when it comes to walking my aunts dog let alone going on a walk myself so I will make sure your sweet summer child doesn’t go where they can’t go!

Karlos did an incredible job taking care of my two cat brothers while I was away for the week. He made sure they were wellfed, spent time playing with them, and sent frequent photos and updates, which I especially appreciated while I was on the other side of the country. He truly went above and beyond. Not only did he care for the cats, but he also helped fix their water fountain after one of them managed to knock it over and set up the pet cameras again after they were attacked by curious paws. Beyond that, it's clear that Karlos has a tremendous amount of experience with animals. We talked about his love for cats and dogs, his work caring for reptiles, and how much animals mean to him. For me, the most important quality in a pet sitter is someone who genuinely loves and understands animals, and Karlos absolutely embodies that. I would gladly recommend Karlos to anyone looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable pet sitter, and I will definitely reach out to him again in the future if I need help with my cats. Thank you, Karlos!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hollis on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 26,858 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hollis. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hollis stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

  • 92% 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.

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.
