“Jaclyn was great! Our old girl who doesn't usually give strangers the time of day liked Jaclyn instantly so we knew it was a good fit and happily trusted Jaclyn with our home and "kids". She was attentive to our babies' needs, flexible for ours and sent us plenty of adorable pictures along the way. We're already planning to rely on her for the next adventure.”

“Mike took good care of our two older dogs. They were happy and healthy apon our 5 day return and the house was great as we left it. He got packages from outside that werent supose to be delivered so that was great too. He showed up on time and stayed until our agreed upon touch down of flight very late the last night. Knowing he lives in the town we do also is nice. We will definitely get him to stay again if he's free next time we need a sitter. He even fixed our tv remote/sound bar connectivity issues. Thanks Mike! Dana”

“Our dogs loved Roselle! We came home to very happy dogs. Most importantly, the dogs were not stressed at all after we were gone a few days. After their initial excitement when we got home, they settled right in like we had never left. She gave them their medications and did everything according to our instructions with taking care of all three dogs as well as our house.”

“Isolyn watched our three dogs in our home while we were away. Our dogs were happy with her there and enjoyed the neighborhood walks. Our dog Maya even enjoyed an adventure outing to a local lake for a longer walk. We got frequent updates and pictures, which was wonderful. Our dogs were loved and cared for and our home was taken care of while we were away. We'd be happy to hire her again!”

About: I’ve owned dogs for over 10 years and currently have 3 of my own. Over the years I’ve become experienced in caring for dogs with special needs. I love that I can be that voice for them. I currently work Sun-Wed but available if you need a weekend off or you even just need a day to run errands. I’ll be glad to take care of your pet. I have a fenced yard as well as crates if needed. I do have 3 other dogs that just chill all day which one has special needs. There is also an influx of toys that they can choose from.

“Spencer did an amazing job taking care of our 2 dogs and cat for 4 days while my family and I were out of town. I could tell that he took the time to read through our detailed instructions and he sent lots of pictures and video to reassure us that they were well taken care of while we were away. Also, one of our dogs is very strong and pulls a lot during walks. Spencer is definitely strong enough and experienced enough to walk him which is one of the reasons we hired him. He is also a very good house guest. If it weren't for the pictures and videos he sent, I wouldn't have even known he was there. Thank you Spencer. We will definitely be seeking you out again for pet sitting.”

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies learning their first commands to sweet seniors needing extra patience and comfort. My experience includes dog walking, puppy training basics, administering oral medications, and providing consistent routines that keep pets happy and healthy. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give-I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to understand their unique quirks, needs, and favorite activities. Whether it’s long walks, gentle playtime, or just cozy company, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, or cuddles-mornings, evenings, and weekends included. I’ll follow your pet’s routine so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. In your home, I follow your routines and care instructions closely to keep things familiar and stress-free. I make sure doors and gates are secure, walks are safe, and pets are never left unsupervised in risky situations.

About: Hi! I’m a responsible college student with years of hands-on pet care experience. I began walking my elderly neighbor’s dog daily and frequently provided dog and cat sitting for families in my neighborhood starting at age 10. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and safety—especially with senior pets. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely love spending time with animals. Your pet will be treated like family while in my care! As a college student, I have a structured weekly schedule that allows me to dedicate focused time to pet care. I’m available most of the day on Mondays and Wednesdays, and after 4pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Spending time with animals fits naturally into my life because I genuinely enjoy being active, getting outside, and providing companionship. Dog walking is something I look forward to—it’s not just a job to me. I love building trust with pets and becoming part of their routine. I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you feel completely comfortable while your pet is in my care. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment with access to a shared yard. Pets are always supervised outdoors, and I’m happy to take them out for regular walks and bathroom breaks throughout the day. I enjoy being active, so your dog will get plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and attention while in my care. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

Meghan was wonderful. While my husband and I were traveling, she kept us updated with pics and how our two cats were doing. Our babies mean everything to us and it was such a relief to see that they were comfortable with her. When we got back from our travels we were pleased to see our home left in great condition and my babies were safe. Thank you Meghan!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hollister

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Hollister on Rover is $78 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $104 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 595 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hollister. 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 Hollister 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 Hollister 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 Hollister 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 Hollister. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
