“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!”
“Mabel loves Jack so much! He does such a great job keeping her routine, he very attentive to her and always makes sure she is taken care of no matter what is going on. He always takes such good care of her and she is so comfortable with him because of it. He also did a great job sending me lots of pictures and videos which helped me relax while I was away.”
“Daylin was polite and thorough with her questions about our elderly dogs when we first met. She did a great job taking care of them and making sure they received their medications. She also regularly sent great pictures to keep us assured that our dogs were doing well. She also left our house clean. We would hire her again. Thank you, Daylin!”
“This lady is amazing. She came to our rescue when our hotel advised us our dog could not.go unattended for any amount of time. She was fast to respond and arrive on the scene. She kept me updated with pics. Pinto was scared at first as this was his first time being with a sitter but I soon received pics of him chilling with her. Thanks a million from me and pinto for visiting us! 🙂”
“Riley is amazing!! She went above and beyond. 45 minute walks twice a day for 2 dogs. The house was exactly as we left it. She sent tons of pics and videos. Very communicative. Would absolutely recommend and will ask for Riley’s service again!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with both dogs and cats has given me experience caring for pets of all sizes, from small breeds to large German Shepherds. I’ve also helped raise puppies, so I’m familiar with the extra patience, attention, and consistency they need. I have experience giving oral medications when needed and don’t mind cleaning up accidents or messes that can happen with pets. I believe every animal has its own personality, so I like to match their energy and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. That means going for a walk, playing fetch, or simply relaxing together, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important pets are to their owners, so I’ll always follow your pet’s routine, respect any special instructions, and provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a part-time worker and student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care for your pets. My availability is even more open during summer and winter breaks, making me a great option if you’re traveling. Feel free to message me with your dates, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule. As a pet owner myself, I know every pet has unique needs and routines. I believe an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so I always double-check gates, leashes, doors, and windows to keep pets safe. I’ll follow your care instructions, respect your home, and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.
“We hired Jo to overnight dog-sit for us for a week long trip. It is always nerve-racking to hire someone we don't know to stay at our home with our fur babies. She was amazing with Benny and Picasso and sent lots of pictures/communications and was always very responsive. She followed my mile long instructions and the boys were so chill when we got home. It's comforting to have someone that can look after our pets in the comfort of their home. We feel fortunate to have found Jo and have already booked her for our next trip. She left our place spotless and even watered the plants (which I totally forgot about). We are grateful for the wonderful care our pups received!”
“Cassandra was absolutely fantastic. From the meet and greet to the great daily communication, we felt completely confident in her. She took great care of our home and our pup. We had an unfortunate experience with a sitter before her, and she gamely answered the call and adjusted her schedule for us. She was such a wonderful sitter, in fact, that we intend to try to rebook her whenever we’re traveling. Highly recommend!”
“Seth responded to our last minute request and was very responsive. The pets were well cared for, and he sent us multiple updates while we were gone! The house was super tidy when we got back, and he even left us with a cat toy. Would definitely book again!”
“Shauna was great! She was super communicative and took great care of my dog and cats. I felt completely at ease while I was away because I felt confident that my pets were being taken great care of. She sent me great pictures and all the animals seemed completely happy and relaxed when I came home. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Jackson was amazing with our two dogs! They loved him. He was prepared, attentive, and easy to work with. I highly recommend him. He took great care of both of them while we were gone.”
About: I’m an experienced pet sitter with a strong background caring for both cats and dogs. I have three cats of my own, including one with asthma, and I regularly administer his medication and closely monitor his health and behavior. I’m very attentive to routines, cleanliness, and making sure cats feel comfortable and secure. I also have an AKC-trained dog, so I’m familiar with reinforcing basic training, structure, and daily routines. I’ve pet sat for others in their homes and am experienced with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic grooming, and following care instructions carefully. I’m also a pet photographer, which has made me especially patient and observant of animal behavior. I work from home, which allows me to be flexible and present throughout the day for pet care. My schedule easily accommodates feedings, walks, medication, playtime, and check-ins without pets being left alone for long periods. I also do photography on the side, which gives me additional flexibility in planning my day. I’m reliable, responsive, and able to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs. I prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication in every home I care for. I carefully follow all instructions and maintain a calm, clean environment for pets. I have reliable transportation and my own car, allowing me to travel easily for drop-ins, house sitting, or emergency needs if they arise. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, attentive to behavior and health changes, and committed to providing dependable, thoughtful care at all times.
“Ali was great to meet and so sweet with my dogs right away. She got down to their level and stayed kind and patient, even when one of them kept barking at her now and then. They both warmed up to her so quickly, which says a lot! She asked thoughtful questions that made me feel like she really understood their needs and genuinely cared about them. On the day of the sit, she was very communicative about her arrival and departure times, which I really appreciated. She also sent lots of photos and videos throughout the day which I appreciated as someone who tends to always worry!”
“Sarah was prompt, professional and very attentive, Freeway was comfortable with her, Sarah sent a pic and map of their walk which made feel comfortable knowing Freeway was left in good hands, I will definitely use her again…”
About: I have 10+ years experience of loving and caring for dogs in varies sizes and breeds! I find peace in taking care of 4 legged fur babies! I’m a recent graduate from Washington DC who just moved back to Los Angeles! I’m saving up to ago back to school for a masters in Environmental Science! I have plenty of free time since I’m out of school this semester. I have a beautiful gated yard and a front porch so dogs can relax and get their sunlight. Pets will be with me at all times even when I’m running errands. I have a dog seat carrier if needed!
“Tara was such a great sitter for our Lexi. She was very communicative with us and let us know when she first arrived to our house and when she left on the last day. We felt very at-ease knowing Tara was with Lexi. She would send pictures and videos daily, which is great for us pet parents. I will definitely be requesting her the next time we go out of town because I know our dog and house will be in great hands!”
“Raymond was amazing. He sent us lots of pictures and kept us informed all week. He was a perfect house guest and we couldn't be happier with the level of love and care he provided for out fur babies. We will look to book him again in the future.”

Allen’s love for pets is obvious in the way he cares for them. He not only provides all of the essentials but also goes above and beyond by spending quality time with them. He was the first pet sitter to have us complete a thorough questionnaire so he could personalize his care for our dog. We especially appreciated the multiple daily updates, complete with photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a caring and true professional. We highly recommend Allen to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.
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 $80.63 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 15,032 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.

- 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.
