“Jamie took great care of our dog! Our 6 mo old puppy had just been spayed and was coming off a week and a half of very little activity so was pretty crazy but Jamie took it all in stride. She was personable, communicated well, texted updates, and even sent pictures! It was clear that she enjoys dogs - even our overly excited one. We look forward to hiring her again.”
“Meghan is wonderful! She made my shy dog feel comfortable while we were gone and bonded with him quickly. She was comfortable caring for our chameleon and aquarium as well. She took great care of my pets and home. We definitely will hire her again! Thank you!”
“Best dog friend we have ever found. Extremely attentive, stayed with the dogs the entire time and sent lots of pictures and updates. Elizabeth made sure our thunderstorm-shy puppy had his meds well in advance of the storm and even let one of the puppies sleep on the bed with her (turns out he does not share the bed well). We cannot recommend Elizabeth highly enough and will always check with her first when we go out of town!”
“Morgan did an amazing job watching our teacup Pomeranian, Herbie. She was responsive, caring, and took care of our baby and home as if it was her own. Will definitely book again!”
About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was a kid I would help out friend, family members, and neighbors with their pets. I've had a lot of experience caring for all sorts of animals through means of daily check-in's, going on walks, and overnight stays! I am currently a student at MSU with a somewhat flexible schedule during the week and I am available in mornings on saturday and sundays, I am also available sunday nights. I live with two dogs who would definitely keep your dog some very friendly company, they also love cats as well! I love taking my own dog on walks and there is a nice little park very close to my house that I love to walk my dog to.
“Cheyenne took great care of my pittie. She was communicative, clean, and made a trip away worry-free. My dog can be wary of new people, but she warmed up to Cheyenne quickly which was awesome. I will definitely look to book with Cheyenne again.”
“Amber house sat with my dog and cat for the second time this summer. She goes above and beyond. Takes the dog for walks without being asked. Has gotten the dog a couple new toys. And made friends with my standoffish cat. Truly an animal lover and it shows.”
“Lashyia was a fantastic and reliable pet sitter who went above and beyond in watching my 3-month old puppy. She worked on training with her and left everything clean and tidy. I absolutely recommend her and plan to use her services again when I’m next out of town.”
About: Work gives me the ability to work from home, and now that I currently don't have any furry friends at home, I use that time to petsit when owners are out of town for extended periods of time. I have owned cats for as long as I can remember. And often dogs as well. My schedule is fairly flexible, with the ability to work from home often. And can cater to your pet care needs :) Every pet- just like every person- is unique and different Also available for house sitting or check ins (with or w/o pets) plant care, mail pick up, etc if needed or wanted. I’d love to have a meet and greet with you and your pet prior to setting up services so you and your pet can get to know me more :) Currently working full time but with the ability to work from home. I don't have pets at home right now so I am able to spend time pet sitting for others, whether drop ins or house/pet/plant sitting for short or long periods- whatever the need may be. Typically traveling to clients. I can either stay in home w your pet for whatever period of time you prefer, drop by however often, or adjust however is needed. I am hopeful to be able to host pets at my home soon as well.
“Absolutely phenomenal, did great with both of the pups, and even the cat who sometimes doesn’t like people. Numerous photos throughout her stay and always keeping us informed throughout the day. Very highly recommend and will be booking again.”
About: I’m always the person at a gathering who is drawn to animals! I will love them as my own. I’ve had my dog for seven years and have pet sat for various friends and family members because I’ve made bonds with their animals as well! I am a teacher so I am currently on summer break! My schedule is pretty flexible in the next few months so I should be able to make anything work 😊 I am a HUGE animal lover! I treat my own pets as my babies and I am super attentive to their needs. Being a teacher has me in tune with that! I would feel honored for you to trust me with your pet’s care because I would want someone to do the same to mine. My boyfriend is a vet tech so that makes us a pretty good combo of pet knowledge!
“We had a fantastic experience with Christopher! He was prompt and responsive during booking and incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay. He was so patient, understanding, and easygoing with our Floydie, who has anxiety and past trauma from an abusive situation, which meant the world to us. Christopher sent regular updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind, and we came home to our house exactly as we left it. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter.”
“Shelbie was so great with my shy kitty from the start - she warmed right up to her! She was super communicative and sent lots of updates during an overnight stay, including an incident of my cat throwing up + updates on how well she was eating afterward. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my family’s pets since I was 6. I have experience with dogs, cats, and exotics! I worked at an exotic pet store for three years while getting my degree in zoology. I am now a zookeeper and would love to take care of your animals. I’m a part time zookeeper and have 15 pets of my own at home. I have plenty of experience in care and enrichment for all species! I am willing and able to do whatever you need to make your pets feel safe while you are away. Just leave me a detailed list of what you need!
“I'm afraid if we tell you how fantastic Lauren is, she won't be available the next time we need her to watch our boys. Seriously, if you want a dependable, reliable, thoughtful and really nice person to care for your pet & home, then look no further than Lauren. She really does have that "Magic Touch" with pets.”
“Adriana was the perfect caregiver and house sitter! My dog got lots of attention, long walks, and days spent dozing in the yard. I would love to have her back for my next trip!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Holt is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Holt
We had a wonderful experience with Jamie and have already booked her again! She took excellent care of our two cats for a week and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. One of our cats can be very anxious, especially during severe storms, and she handled everything with patience and compassion. She also navigated maintenance needing access to our home during our trip, which was incredibly helpful and took a lot of stress off of us. She was communicative, attentive, and clearly cared about our cats’ well-being. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and are so grateful for everything she did. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
This is the third time Jessica has watched my 2 dogs and cat and she did a great job as usual! Everybody is well taken care of, house was super clean when I returned, and my garden and many plants were all happy and watered! One of my dogs is high anxiety and even though he's met her before, Jessica took the time to come over again before this trip to make sure he had the chance to visit with her and get re-familiarized which is reassuring for both me and the pup. Love getting regular updates and pics too! We will definitely book again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Holt
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Holt on Rover is $51.06 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 506 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.

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.
