“Katherine did an amazing job taking care of our fur baby. Would definitely recommend her! Our dog is a little standoffish and takes a little bit of time to warm up to people, and she did a great job with that.”
“Angelica did a great job house sitting our dogs. She was a great communicator and sent lots of updates. She cleaned up after our dogs and left our home in good order. I would definitely recommend her to take care of your pets.”
“Jenna was absolutely fantastic. She was willing to sit for our dog last minute when our other dog sitter backed out. She communicated daily, and left our house better than she found it. Our dog was so happy and gave me peace of mind while we were away.”
“Kerry was great, I felt comfortable with her in my home and taking care of my MOST precious pups! She sent me many pictures throughout the day & she gave them so much attention! I go out of town frequently and find it hard to find a great at home pet sitter. She was even so sweet to check my mail for me. I will definitely use her again!”
“Amiyah did everything we asked her to with regard to being home for our 2 dogs and 3 cats. She spent time with them outside and they seemed to enjoy her company. We really appreciated her being at our home overnight and the majority of the time we were away. She made it easy to get updates and let us know of any concerns or questions.”
“Isabel has been a God-send!!!! I’ve had her sit my dogs a few times now, and she is always prompt, she follows my directions to the letter and most importantly, my dogs loved her from the first time she walked through my door! They are always happy to see her. She has taken a huge worry off of me since one of my dogs had surgery and I had to be away for work.”
“Melinda is the best!! She house set for us for a week...I have a very high energy dog and an older dog with a very progressive cancer and she is wonderful with both. I have never seen my dogs (and I have rescued dogs for 35+ years in 2 states) be so calm, happy and absolutely not stressed when we got home. Melinda walked the dogs every day, kept them on their medication regime and feeding schedule, and gave them cuddles and attention the entire time we were gone. She even took care of feeding my wild squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, possums while I was gone. I truly can not say enough about how happy I am with the care she gave my babies!!!!! I will definitely be using her again for all of our doggy care --drop in and walking visits, day checks and any overnights, and all long term house sitting. If you are looking for someone that is trustworthy, loving with the pets, will adhere to schedules, go above and beyond, and just an all around gem, then Melinda is your person!!”
About: I have owned and taken care of animals since I was a young child. I grew up on a farm in Ohio where we had dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, horses and even a llama! As an adult, I have owned my own animals and they always live very happy, luxurious lives. Spoiled but healthy is key! I’m great at following directions, and proper care is at the forefront of my services! I currently work from home and am home pretty much 24/7 with the exception of appointments, errands and adventures so I have lots of time to give to not only my own animals, but animals in my care! I have a fenced in backyard perfect for a little doggie “zoomies” sesh, and a clean and pet safe interior of our home. I am home 24/7 so I am able to provide attentive and constant care to your pets, updating often with photos and even videos!
About: My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, administering basic medications, crate training, reinforcement of household routines, and providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being at all times. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive. I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, overnight care, or companionship while you’re away, I look forward to providing a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your pet! Why choose me? * 10+ years of dog care experience * Comfortable with all breeds and sizes * Patient, attentive, and reliable * Regular photo and message updates * Focused on safety, exercise, and individualized care I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate pets’ individual needs and maintain their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I make sure every pet receives consistent, reliable, and loving attention while their owners are away. 🐾 I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal schedule, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of affection to help them feel comfortable and secure. I also keep owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they receive plenty of supervision, exercise, and attention. I follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules, and any special care requirements. My goal is to make every pet feel relaxed, loved, and treated like a member of the family while they’re in my care. 🐾
About: I have had a deep passion for dogs since I was a young girl. My experience in dog care began in high school when I cared for a sick loved one’s dog. Over the course of that year, I not only gained a best friend but also developed a strong sense of responsibility and an appreciation for the joy and companionship that comes with caring for animals. Over the past 3–4 years, I have continued building my experience through dog sitting, and for the past two years, I have worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility. These experiences have strengthened my dedication to providing attentive, compassionate care while maintaining a safe and structured environment. I am committed to supporting both pets and their owners with reliability and professionalism. I’m available anytime after dropping my son off to school @8:30am. Or before/after picking him up from aftercare, by 5:30pm. I box on weekdays but can go around what ever is needed. At my home I have a fenced backyard, enough space to crate 1-3 dogs if need be. I want the dog to be as comfortable as possible, a home away from home. As for clients homes , they are to be treated with respect & cleanliness it is their safe space, same as my home.
“She was great, left the house just about as good as we left it before vacation! The dogs seemed happy when we got home and the updates were a great touch to ease my mind! We will be using her again on our next trip for sure 😊”
About: I have a dog at home and he can be difficult sometimes but I always take him on walks and he absolutely loves it. I've had him for 4 years and he is my little buddy. I am available any day. I feel I would really love this job. I love animals and would love to be able to meet new ones. I currently can't pet sit in my own house. This may change in the future but for now I'm only available to walk or watch them in someone's house.
“Ricki was FANTASTIC with our Zoey girl! She housesat for four nights and was flexible enough to stay an extra night due to a travel delay. We received frequent updates and fantastic communication before, during, and after the houseit. Ricki was very respectful of our home and left it probably tidier than when she arrived. I will definitely book Ricki in the future. ❤️”
“Brittany was wonderful with my dog, Britta for the weekend! Lol She was very good at sending pictures with updates to us while we were gone. ? I look forward to booking again!”
About: I have grown up around animals all of my life! I spent my early years learning large animal care knowledge and breed specific care such as shepherds and dachshunds. As i got older i furthered my knowledge to exotic care such as reptiles and parrots and finally leading to my professional experience in a shelter setting focused on cats. This is a lifelong passion of mine and intend to use each penny made from this to continue my education further to give love and care to those without a voice. My husband and I are moving in 2027 to further our education and my schedule is completely open until that time. I will however be strategic about scheduling to be able to provide the best care possible for each booking. I would like to keep your pets in your home to reduce as much stress as possible, but in the event your baby is in my home i will keep them separated in their own space during downtime and would ideally have camera for you to check in periodically. In the clients home i prioritize clear and timely communication as well as gather as much information possible to follow your loved ones routine as much as possible such as medication times, outdoor routines, even the quirky ones! Disclaimer, i will be selective with reactive large dogs, especially multiple due to my own safety concerns.
About: I love 🐕 🐶 . We foster a lot. It's nice to get all the unconditional love from our precious pets. Dogs are man's best friend I'm a stay at home mom. I have a husband and 8yo twins living in our home. I am a great caregiver. I love what do I have a fenced yard and 2 of my own medium size rescue dogs. I am very responsible and caring for my clients and their furbabies.
“Amazing service! Our first time using Rover and we really lucked out! Thanks Kristi for taking such great care of our pups and kitties. It was so nice to go away and know they were well cared for. We will definitely rebook!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Holt
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Holt on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 453 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Holt. 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 Holt 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 Holt 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 Holt 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 Holt. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
