“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!”

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!

“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! 🐶”

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!”

“I had such an amazing experience having my Luna cared for over the weekend by Audry! From the very beginning, I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such great hands. Communication was wonderful, and I really appreciated all the photos and updates throughout her care. It made being away from her so much easier knowing I could see how she was doing and that she was happy and comfortable. Overall, it was such a great experience from start to finish. I’m so grateful for the care and attention Luna received, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their pets. I’ll definitely be booking with Audry again in the future! 🐾”

About: Hi everyone! My name is Marina! 🐾 Animals have been a part of my life since middle school, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely love. I’m the go-to dog sitter for my friends and family, and I treat every pet in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I also have experience fostering animals and volunteering at shelters, which has given me the opportunity to care for pets with different personalities and needs. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy who will make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. If you think your furry friend and I would be a good fit, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I’d love to connect with you and your pets. A friendly heads-up: I have four dogs of my own, and they will be present during pet-sitting stays. I always want to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone, so please feel free to reach out with any questions! I work part time from home & am a flight attendant on the weekends. I have 4 dogs of my own that love going to the dog park & having friends over. My job is very flexible so the pups and I are constantly hanging out in the backyard if the weather allows us to. I have a big fenced backyard with plenty of space for dogs to roam around surrounded with plenty of shade. They are welcomed throughout the house including the couches. If you have a pup that loves friends don’t look any further!

He was incredibly kind, attentive, communicative, and clearly treated our dog like their own. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved every minute of their time together. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. We will definitely be using him again!”

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life since I was a baby. My family has never been without more than one dog in our lives. I’ve always been in charge of medication or recovery after surgery for our pets. I started sitting in 2023 and have continued to do so for family and close friends. My daily schedule is pretty flexible as I currently take online classes this semester. I try to make all necessary appointments on the same day so as not to have a busy week/weekend. I usually let the owner(s) tell me any important information about their pets(s) while also asking about any behavior or habits that I should be aware of. Any medication that is required I write down to remember and prevent any possible mistakes.

About: I’ve been loving and caring for cats and dogs for over 10 years. Friends, family, and neighbors always rely on me to drop in, feed, and play with their pets while they're away. I have plenty of experience with all ages, from tiny puppies and kittens to sweet seniors. I love keeping pets active with fun enrichment games and can even help teach them new tricks! I know every animal has their own unique personality and needs a different approach, so I’m always happy to learn what works best for your furry friend. I’ll care for them just like they’re my own and send you plenty of cute updates along the way! Since I work a steady 9-5 schedule during the week, your pet will enjoy a wonderful, predictable routine! We kick off our days with an energetic morning walk so they can completely relax, and I love setting them up with fun puzzle toys to keep their minds active. As soon as I'm off the clock, my full attention shifts right back to them for dinner, an evening walk, and plenty of couch cuddles.When the weekend hits, I am completely free! This is when we dive into longer adventures, extra-long walks, and much more enriching activities to really spoil your furry friend. It’s a loving, consistent rhythm that keeps pets feeling safe, happy, and right at home! When I’m staying at or visiting your home, I stick closely to your pet's normal routine to keep them happy and stress-free. During the week, they’ll enjoy a predictable schedule with fun morning and evening walks, plenty of attention, and brain-boosting puzzle toys during the day. On weekends, my schedule is wide open for longer adventures and extra playtime!If your dog loves making new friends, I can also bring my own friendly dog along for supervised playdates! Of course, this is completely up to your choice and comfort level. No matter what, I focus on keeping your pet safe, loved, and properly fed while ensuring your house is totally secure. I’ll send you plenty of cute photo updates along the way so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in great hands!

About: I’ve always grown up around dogs. My favorite breed are pitbull but I have two beagles at the moment. I’ll obey any instructions you have for your pet, I do my best not to feed into bad dog behaviors. I’ve taken care of my family members dogs and multiple dogs at once. I’m good at cleaning up after dogs too. I’m currently studying for my CPA exams, so pet care will easily fit into my weekly routine. I prefer to walk any animal before the sunsets, but being at someone’s home is fine any time. I’m good at cleaning up after animals and myself. I have two beagles so I prefer not to do anything at my house. But I’m more than willing to take care of any pets at their house.

About: Hello! My name is Layla and I am currently a full-time college student with extra time on my hands, my schedule can be extremely flexible on the days that I am available. I feel being a pet sitter suits me because a. I love animals, b. I’m very attentive and organized, and c. Earning a wage by hanging out/taking care of your fur babies sounds like a dream! I currently have two big dogs and one cat that I care for almost every day. I take the dogs for walks, play fetch with them, and take them out to go potty. I love spoiling my cat with new stimulating toys, cat trees, and lots of cuddles 🥰 I’m currently a full-time student with some spare time, a part-time job seems too much for me to handle while also engaging in school. I adore animals and it would be amazing to earn money while spending time and caring for them 🥲 A list offered of how you want me to care for your pet is preferred. I understand pets can have different quirks and I’m totally adaptable to anything that’s thrown at me. I love animals and their unique personalities! I’d like to follow your routine to care for your animal, just like you never left!

About: Hi, pet parents! 🐾 I am Meagan, and I absolutely love animals! Caring for pets isn’t just a job to me—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take a lot of pride in. I am also a proud cat mom to two very spoiled cats of my own, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for them. Whether your furry friend needs a fun walk, a cozy check-in, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’m attentive, patient, dependable, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same love, kindness, and care I would want for my own. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, quirks, and comfort level, so I’m happy to follow your instructions and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re gone. I also know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing that your babies are in caring, responsible hands—and to make their time without you as happy and stress-free as possible! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! 🐾 I currently have open availability and am caring for pets full-time, allowing me to be flexible and accommodate your pet’s needs and schedule I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort by following your pet’s routine, maintaining a clean environment, and providing attentive, loving care in your home or mine

Audrey was absolutely fantastic! She watched our two cats, Wednesday and Mavis, for four days and stayed overnight to make sure they were well cared for. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and attentive throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated, followed all of our care instructions, and made sure both cats were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. We came home to two happy cats and a clean home! It's clear Audrey genuinely loves animals and takes pride in being a responsible, trustworthy, and dependable pet sitter. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing cat sitter or overnight pet care. We will definitely be booking her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hollydale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Hollydale is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $124 per night. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 15,031 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 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 Hollydale. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.
