“Olivia is the best dog sitter in town! Truly a gem! We were so blessed to have Olivia care for our Teddy while away on a 6 day vacation to Hawaii. She was always available and provided all of Teddy’s needs. I can’t express my gratitude with just words. She went above and beyond caring for our Teddy while away. Teddy has found a new best friend in Olivia. My trip was care free because I left my pup in good hands. Theres nothing better than to have peace of mind that my Teddy was being fed, walked and played with daily. I recommend Olivia for your furry friend. You will not be disappointed. Thanks again Olivia! 🐶”
“Rebecca is a fantastic sitter who took great care of both our house and our new cat Baby Lizard. She sent us lots of photos, did face time calls when asked, stuck to our vet's dietary instructions, and gave Blizzard lots of cuddles but also just chill time and space. She also helped out with managing our home, taking out trash, cleaning litter boxes and making sure the house stayed safe while we were on our trip. We will DEFINITELY be booking Rebecca again to watch our Baby Lizzy!”
About: Hello! My name is Dylan and I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! I’ve been around animals my whole life, such as tortoises, rabbits, and goats, but the majority of my experience is with dogs and cats. I have experience working with senior dogs, dogs with rear wheelchairs, brachycephalic dog breeds, and nursing cats, as well as administering topical and oral medications and bottle feeding. I’ve worked with dogs from 6lbs to 110lbs! Additionally, I am Pet CPR and First Aid Certified. Leaving a pet with someone new can be stressful for you and your pet, so I do my best to make both of you feel comfortable by sending daily photos and creating accommodations for your pet. I work Monday through Wednesday, so I typically only board dogs during weekends, but I board cats Monday through Sunday. During weekends, I can take dogs out as often as they need, whether that be twice or five times—whatever meets your pet's needs! I have experience with both visiting clients and boarding pets in my own home. Every pet is different, so specialized care is my priority, along with respecting your property. In my own home, I allow pets on furniture and the bed to maximize their comfort. Most pets love my bean bag chair! When I am pet-sitting in your home, I have a "leave-no-trace" policy and try to leave it cleaner than when I arrived if applicable!
About: I've been surrounded by animals since I was 6 years old and have always had a deep love and admiration for them. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I'm very familiar with daily care routines including feeding, walks, play time, basic grooming, administering medications if needed, and giving lots of attention and affection. I also care for a chinchilla and grew up spending time with my grandparents' cat, so I'm comfortable around different types of pets and their unique personalities. Although I'm new to professional pet sitting, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I've even once considered becoming a vet tech because of how much I love spending time with animals. I'm responsible, attentive, and very detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. As someone pursuing a career in healthcare and BLS certified, safety and attentiveness are extremely important to me. Your pet's comfort, well-being, and happiness will always be my top priority. I am currently in school but when I am not in class I am more than happy to use some of that time to take care of your fur baby. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to follow their established routine as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walk times, medication instructions if needed, and any specific area preferences. I provide plenty of playtime, attention, and affection while also making sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I'm very respectful of clients' homes, keep everything clean and organized, and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.
About: I love the companionship and love that fur babies give. I am guilty of spoiling my friends' dogs and cats with unconditional affection. Getting outside or popping in to make your dog or cat smile is good for the soul: Your fur baby’s and mine. Trips to the park, play dates, people watching are some of the activities I enjoy. I have been around dogs, cats, and birds all of my life. I know how meaningful they are to you and to families. I used to live in apartments that did not allow dogs, so I would walk friends' dogs or sit for them to fill that void. When I lived in Hollywood, I was the Go-To stay in Cat sitter while clients were on vacation. I recently cared for my former roommate and her son’s cat Lilly! I miss her! Your fur and feather babies will love me! I work 4 shifts out of the week. I generally work during the day, but occasionally one or two nights. My schedule varies on a weekly basis, but I am very flexible. I always show up on time. I love to have a few minutes of bonding time before I take a dog on a walk. When I work with cats, I let them come to me and become familiar with me on their terms. I always clean up after pets. I am diligent about that. Overall, I let all fur babies learn to trust me, and I will care for them.
About: I have been around dogs since before I could walk! I've always had dogs while growing up. I work at an animal clinic and have been in the vet field for 9 years. As of right now I am very open and flexible with my current schedule. I am available almost any day / time of the week. I make sure to know where all pet supplies/medication and emergency contact numbers are located. I make sure to familiarize myself with the pets feeding/walking schedule. I also make sure to know whether the pet has any aggression issues towards other animals so I know how to handle the pet if I need to walk them or what not.

I also have housekeeping experience so I will make sure your house is clean and safe while you're away.
“We absolutely LOVED Hailee. We are super nervous leaving our boy with anyone and after a few different Rover experiences, we felt far and away that Hailee was the most attentive, communicative, responsible and respectful pet sitter we’ve ever used. Our dog is anxious around unfamiliar people but he was so willing to go on long walks with her and give her lots of cuddles which is a true A+ in my book. We will absolutely use Hailee again, without hesitation!”
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life! This includes, dogs, cats, birds and small rodents such as hamsters! I have even trained my dog to learn simple commands. My overall goal is safety and to ensure that your pet is taken care of like one of my own. Skills: * Pet feeding and fresh water care * Dog walking * Administering oral medications (if you’ve done this) * Basic grooming (brushing, etc.) * Cleaning litter boxes and pet habitats * Monitoring pet behavior for changes * Caring for senior pets (if applicable) * Following detailed care instructions * Providing companionship and playtime * Maintaining routines to reduce pet stress * Reliable communication with pet owners I am currently a full time student at CSULB, but I am available to work during the week as my classes are only in the evenings Monday through Thursdays. I am open to both weekdays and weekends. I have done overnight stays and I am comfortable doing so. I am very flexible and will communicate with my clients in more detail to make sure that I am a good fit for them. Qualities I know about myself and my care: * I Follow care instructions carefully. * I am dependable and don’t like cutting corners. * I Pay attention to details. * I Care deeply about animals’ wellbeing. * I ask questions when I am unsure rather than guessing. My pets are well fed, walked, groomed and cared for. Honestly they are like my children haha!
“Jennifer did a fantastic job with my dog, walking him regularly and sending text/picture updates of a happy dog. I would absolutely recommend her for taking care of your dog!”
“Audrey was great! Very responsible and communicative the whole time watching my dog! It was great to have a peace of mind with her being proactive on communication and following the rules of how to care for my dog. 10/10 and will be using her again!”
About: I grew up and have been around dogs my whole life. I’ve been cat sitting for friends for years. I love all animals but have the most experience with cats and dogs. I have open availability and here to help. I have open availability at the moment. So even if it’s last minute I can help. I am reliable and as long as I’m not booked up I’m willing to help. I will care for the pets in their client’s home. I think it’s best for the pet to stay in their environment and to have familiarity. Especially when first being introduced to someone new.
About: I’ve had 2 bunnies and currently a 4 year old shitzu. I’ve also taken care of my family’s dogs in Nicaragua. From a Great Dane, Husky, Coker Spaniel, and random mixes. I’ll always treat any animal with kindness and respect I’m currently not working for the summer so I’m free almost all the time. I’m going to school from Monday-Thursday in the fall but I will update then. I will take care of your pets and your house to the upmost standard. I will bring my a game to match your pets energy while also making sure they’re good.
About: Pending on parents wishes, we take walks, play, I will have doggie toys or they can bring their own. I can do medication, including injections, give them breakfasts and snacks pending parents bringing what the babies like Im currently available everyday, once I start my daily job, I can still stay at your homes, and walk, feed and play. And all day onweekends, mindful that I am available now 24/7 I have a fenced yard, no other doggies on property. I always say less is more when it comes to meeting a new pup no matter the age. This is to gain trust with myself and them.
About: 23 years of experience, but dogs have always been a part of my life. Family I'd visit growing up and still visit have had 10 dogs featuring 8 different breeds, from Chihuahuas to Pitbulls. I've raised and basic-trained 3 puppy rescues since 2001, saw 2 of them to seniority (Chihuahua and Jack Russel-Chihuahua mix), and raised the most recent (Pug) until 2024 when I blessed close family members with her because they have a huge yard she adores and want her to be happy. I can't wait to fill this place with the vibrant energy only dogs can give! We can talk price adjustment after the first booking 😉❤️ I'm currently in between jobs so I'd be able to give your furbaby all the attention they need. I just need a day's heads up to get a few things sorted and we're all set! Your place or my place? I can go either way! This townhome has a patio your furbaby can sunbathe in with a breeze and shade, or we can keep them inside nice and cool/warm if the weather isn't friendly. If they're less adventurous, I can keep them company at your place where they'd feel more at home.
“Cristina was so amazing with Riley! She kept us updated with what was going on and sent us pictures. We came home to a clean house and a very happy puppy. I definitely recommend her!”
“Jack was a complete professional during his recent dog sitting of our two dogs. He stayed at our home and was extremely attentive and respectful. Jack followed all care instructions and went over and beyond by taking our dogs to the park and playing with them frequently. He provided us daily updates and photos during our vacation that kept us at ease, especially while traveling out of state. I cannot recommend him enough, a gentleman in every way.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Brionna’s performance watching our beloved 14 year old puppy. We’ve never been away from her for 5 days before and we could tell from the wonderful pictures Brionna sent that she was relaxed and happy, which made it a relaxing trip for us. I’m not in the habit of writing reviews, but she deserves lots of praise for what she did, looking out for our house as well as being a great dog sitter!”

Audry is awesome! She was respectful of my place, but most importantly, she treated my girls great, was communicative, asked questions and even sent extra pics and videos on days that were a little more challenging. My girls can't wait to be spoiled by her again, and I will definitely be booking with her whenever she's available! Thank you for making my work trip a little less stressful.
Hailee has been taking care of my pets for awhile now and being able to rely on her has made travel so much less stressful! I have 2 cats and 1 dog and she’s done both drop-ins and overnights. The pets love her, even my one very shy cat comes out for pets and cuddles. She keeps me posted with videos and notes and leaves the house in perfect condition. We are so glad to have Hailee in our lives!
Rebecca is a fantastic sitter who took great care of both our house and our new cat Baby Lizard. She sent us lots of photos, did face time calls when asked, stuck to our vet's dietary instructions, and gave Blizzard lots of cuddles but also just chill time and space. She also helped out with managing our home, taking out trash, cleaning litter boxes and making sure the house stayed safe while we were on our trip. We will DEFINITELY be booking Rebecca again to watch our Baby Lizzy!
Absolutely wonderful experience! Andrea was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and clearly very experienced with dogs. I felt really comfortable leaving my pup in her care, and it was obvious my dog was well looked after and happy. Communication was great throughout, and I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!
Jasmine was amazing with Penny. She always gave me updates with pictures which made me feel at ease while away. She was very attentive to Pennys needs and kept her routine very comfortable and consistent. I also enjoyed that Jasmine played and walked Penny daily. She’s awesome! 😊
Amazing! Joanna was very communicative, asked all the “right” questions about our puppy and puppy’s needs. Great on reporting details which is important as we, doggy parents, are trying to navigate routines etc with our puppy. Very personal and helpful. We will definitely be seeking her again for future puppy-sitting 🐶.
Lorretta was great! We needed a sitter last-minute do to our previous sitter being unavailable. Lorretta lived nearby, so she was able to visit on a consistent schedule and give our dog and cat a sense of normalcy while we were gone. Good communicator and good picture/video taker!
This was my first time booking through Rover in hopes of finding someone that can care for my puppy while I’m away and I found Alyssa. She was very kind and patient. I feel like she tried her best even though my puppy is a high energy stubborn puppy. She tried to make him as comfortable as possible. I did have a slight suggestion and that would be just to communicate better and interact with the puppy as much as possible to make it a smoother process. Dogs feed off our energy.
Tayanna was amazing! She made my kitty feel so comfortable and loved on while I was out of town and gave me updates throughout the entire time. I’m very protective and particular with who watches my girl, and I know I absolutely made the right choice with Tayanna.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hollydale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hollydale on Rover is $80.25 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 15,159 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hollydale. 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 Hollydale 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 Hollydale 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 Hollydale 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hollydale. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
