About: If you’re looking for someone to fill your shoes (and protect them from getting chewed), look no further. I check ALL the boxes with love. I make my own schedule and work from home so I am very flexible. I prefer weekdays but also available some weekends. Happy to discuss. I am open to boarding, have a fenced yard, and large crate option. I have 2 sweet cockapoos of my own if interested in companionship.

About: I've cared for and have had the privilege of sharing my life with dogs, cats, birds, horses, rabbits, and goats. I've been lucky enough to have raised three dogs from puppydom to senior pooches, all three living beyond 18. I currently share my home with a 13 years old Miniature Pinscher named Sadie. I couldn't imagine continuing on without a furry child in my life. They are central and that's how I feel about all my charges as well. I have extensive experience in caring for puppies, tweens, teens, adults and senior dogos. Unfortunately, I can no longer work with bully breed or bully mixes. I'm available anytime and often at short notice. I have no limitations or restrictions between the hours of 9A until 9P seven days a week. I can only care for small dogs (under 25 lbs) in my own home as my HOA has restrictions on pet size. In your home, your pet will be either King or Queen. They will be pampered and loved as you would want them to be.

About: FYI--Recently retired from the Federal Government. I did a Katrina mission to offer counseling to those who lost their homes. However, I was asked to volunteer in a pet shelter because the pets were abandoned due to the crisis at hand. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I figured I could do it, if I didn't look the pets straight in the eye (to prevent the heartbreak and the tears from flowing). Well, one little doggie who was in the corner of her pen shaking and shivering, grabbed ahold of my ankle as I was walking out of her pen (after cleaning it and feeding and watering her) and she wouldn't let go. She dragged her little butt along the concrete flooring as I tried to close the gate. I broke down into tears immediately and said "okay, I'll take you home with me and the cat in the pen next to you". Yes, I rescued them both... Or should I say they rescued me..from Empty Nest Syndrome. They have brought so much love into my life! My Mississippi Mud Pie (Boston Terrier) has now gone to Doggie Heaven and I want to provide love to other's pets in honor of her memory. My schedule has recently opened up more since retiring from the Federal Government, and I have a lot of time to devote to other's pets and animal care. When a dog is in my care, I provide very frequent walks and cater to your pet throughout the entire time they are with me. I like keeping animals happy and content. I provide a safe, trusting and caring environment. I am very nurturing and provide excellent care and attention. I am very attentive of animals needs.

About: Hi, I’m Randy — recently retired after a 28 year career as a scientist with Merck Animal Health. I’ve spent my entire professional life dedicated to improving the health, comfort, and wellbeing of animals, and now I’m excited to continue that passion through one on one pet care. Animals have always been at the center of my world. I understand how they communicate stress, curiosity, comfort, and confidence, and I take pride in creating a calm, predictable environment where pets feel safe and understood. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, and I enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique quirks and comforts. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I meet them at their pace and make sure they feel safe and relaxed. I am recently retired, happy to have shed the rigors of corporate America and now free to enjoy life and to do what I love. I am a lifelong dog owner and strong believer in them often being man's (and women's) best friend. Cats are special to me too, I spent many years as a scientist developing new vaccines for cats.

“Steve provides my cats with loving care while I am away. I have one cat who is difficult and can be unfriendly and he has won her over! He sends pictures of her sitting on his lap! He is always prompt and thoroughly cleans the litter box. I love the photo updates he sends while visiting with the cats - I can tell that they are well-cared for. He truly loves animals - it is very obvious from the care and attention they receive.”

About: II have loved and cared for pets my entire life and truly enjoy the companionship of animals. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine. I’m a mom of three and have over 30 years of experience working as a Medical Assistant, so I’m responsible, dependable, attentive, and comfortable caring for others. I treat every pet in my care like they are part of my own family. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks and visits, as well as overnight pet sitting when needed. Whether your pet needs a walk, some companionship, meals and medication reminders, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to help. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I do work for a local hospital but I get up early and stay up late. I am free on weekends. I can accommodate to most needs. I personally have a dog, 3 cats and my kids have geckos. They are all spoiled rotten. I have been a huge animal lover my entire life. I can pretty much cater to most services especially having a medical background if your pet has health concerns.

About: I’ve spent my entire life around dogs, and have helped care for my family’s four legged friends for as long as I can remember. I’m no stranger to walking, feeding and cleaning up after dogs of all shapes and sizes. As a teenager, my neighbors and friends entrusted me to care for their pets. Whether they were going to be home from work late and needed someone to walk their dog or were going out of town for a weekend, I was there to help. No matter your dog’s age, size or energy level, I am confident I can provide the best possible care for them! I am currently working remotely so I am available to care for your pups at any hour of any day! From early mornings to late nights, I will be there. At home, I have a fenced in yard where my dogs are able to run and play free, but I also make sure they get plenty of leash walks around the neighborhood. Regardless of your home/ yard’s set up I can ensure your pup will get the best possible care.

About: Animals have been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, goats, birds, hamsters, and more, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality, needs, and routines. In addition to personal experience, I’ve worked for the AKC, which gave me an even deeper understanding of canine behavior, care, and communication. I’m especially attentive to pets who may need a little extra patience or understanding, including seniors, anxious pets, reactive dogs, or animals with unconventional routines. I also have firsthand experience managing separation needs in my own household, so I understand how important structure, safety, and individualized care can be. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, cuddly, anxious, or somewhere in between, I pride myself on creating a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment where they feel safe and cared for. I treat every animal like they’re my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have two dogs of my own, so my days are structured around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, enrichment, medications when needed, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Because I genuinely love animals, caring for pets never feels like a chore to me — it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, consistency, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also very mindful of maintaining routines that help animals feel secure and reduce stress while their owners are away. I always tailor my care to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and comfort level. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain the pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, litter box care, medications if needed, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection and companionship. I know how important consistency is for animals, especially when their owners are away. I’m very attentive to body language, behavior changes, and overall comfort, and I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. I also understand that some pets need extra patience, space, or structure, and I’m experienced with anxious pets, shy cats, senior animals, and pets with unique routines or separation needs. Communication is also very important to me, so I make sure owners receive regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while their pets are in my care.

About: I have had many dogs and cared for many others. It is a true labor of love for me and something I really love doing. I’m retired so my schedule is super flexible. Whatever your schedule I can probably accommodate it. Give me a try and let’s see if we can work it out. I love them but I don’t board dogs (sorry). Couldn’t negotiate that successfully with my wife. I do love spending time with them on walks or in your home.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who believes pets deserve their own little staycation while you’re away! Whether it’s a neighborhood walk, some backyard playtime, belly rubs on the couch, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and loved. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to stick to your pet’s normal routine — meals, walks, medications, playtime, and all the extra snuggles they’ll allow. I’ll also send plenty of photo updates, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is being well cared for and getting lots of love while you’re gone. 🐾 My schedule is flexible as my husband is a business owner and I work part-time for him, which gives me plenty of time to work pet care into my day. I’m happy to plan visits, walks, feeding times, and check-ins around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. Whether you need occasional help, vacation coverage, or regular visits, I’ll do my best to make things easy and stress-free for both you and your pet. 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always come first. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, medications, doors or gates, and anything else that helps your pet feel secure. I’m also very respectful of your home and belongings and will keep you updated with photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a home just as you left it. 🐾

About: Lifelong dog and cat owner and lover, when I was younger I often took care in walking and watching dogs and cats when neighbors were away, and recently moved and have a lot of free time and heard about rover and thought it would be a great way to get back into it. I’m currently only working part time from home with flexible hours so I’m available everyday (with rare exception) to walk, watch, sit, play, or help out with any other form of care your need your furry (or scaly) little friends need! I look to hopefully recreate (to some capacity) the environment your animal is used to even though you aren’t there, to care for your little guy or gal in whichever way you are most comfortable and they are most used to. Happy to be outside, inside, play, hang out, follow careful instructions, or just freestyle it. Whatever makes you and your pet most comfortable and happy!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Hollyville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hollyville is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $28 per visit. 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 529 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hollyville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hollyville. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.

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.
