“Meghan was absolutely wonderful! She was quick to respond and had great communication. She left detailed during visit summaries that gave me great peace of mind while away from my babies.”
About: I grew up on a small farm, so caring for animals has become second nature for me! I’m comfortable with everything from goofy puppies to slow-and-steady seniors, and I adjust my pace and play style to match each pet’s needs. I’m experienced with basic puppy manners (crate time, consistent potty breaks, and gentle leash practice) and have a soft spot for senior dogs and cats who need extra patience, meds on schedule, and cozy, low-stress routines. I currently am in nursing school, but still maintain a flexible schedule Monday-Wednesday I’m free after 3. Thursday- Sunday I have pretty much all day free for your fur baby’s needs! I currently offer, home visits, and 30–60 minute walks. I share my home with an 80 lb black Lab and have lots of experience with high-drive, energetic breeds like Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds, and German Shorthaired Pointers. I also love working with cats and have a few of my own, so feline friends are always welcome!
About: I’ve cared for animals for over 30 years and have loved them since I was 5, when I got my first cat. Since then, I’ve cared for both dogs and cats—puppies, seniors, and everything in between. I’m comfortable with all breeds and have plenty of informal pet-sitting experience through family and friends. As a remote professional, I’m home most of the day, so your pet will never feel alone. My environment is calm, playful, and full of cuddles (and walks!). I’m also comfortable administering medication and pride myself on being reliable, patient, and calm under pressure. I genuinely love being around animals—it brings me joy to care for them, walk them, and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. Because I work remotely, I’m home most of the day, which makes pet care a natural part of my daily routine. I start my mornings with a walk or playtime, and I take regular breaks throughout the day to give pets attention, cuddles, and outdoor time. Evenings are usually calm and cozy — perfect for a relaxing stroll or some quiet time together. My flexible schedule means I can easily adapt to your pet’s needs, whether that’s frequent walks, meal routines, or medication schedules. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same — to make them feel safe, loved, and at ease. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding times, walks, play, and rest, so their day feels familiar and stress-free. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, cozy space where they get plenty of cuddles, playtime, and outdoor walks. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own, keeping things tidy and peaceful while giving your pet lots of attention and affection. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and cared for.
“Thank you for your awesome updates and taking great care of our boys. Receiving photos and hearing about their time with you was an awesome part of our trip. We look forward to having you back in the near future.”

About: My love for dogs started early — at three years old with a dachshund named Pretzel (although toddler me called her “DoDo” because Pretzel was just too big of a word). 🐾 Since then, I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and truly adore their unique personalities. I work full-time from home, so caring for your pup fits seamlessly into my day, with walks, playtime, attention, and plenty of tail-wagging fun included.

About: I help care for my own dog and his brother regularly, so I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, and playtime. I follow dietary restrictions closely and stick to each dog’s routine. I’m patient and understand that some dogs need extra time, structure, and positive reinforcement. With owner permission, I’m also happy to take dogs on safe, fun car rides for enrichment or outings. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness always come first with me. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. I work during the day on weekends, but I’m available in the early mornings and evenings. During the week, I attend school and travel, but with advance notice I can usually accommodate drop-ins, walks, and sitting. Clear communication helps me plan ahead so I can provide consistent, reliable care. I’m comfortable providing daytime care in your home and can stay overnight if absolutely necessary. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I respect your home and your pet’s space, and I always aim to keep pets comfortable, calm, and safe in their own environment.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hollister stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hollister. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 99% 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.
