“Kathryn exceeded our expectations and our Maltipoo’s expectations house sitting for us! She was very responsive throughout the booking process and while at our house, sending us regular updates. She followed all our instructions and even left the house very tidy! We are happy to have met her and look forward to having her back housesitting for us again.”

“Pat was wonderful! She stepped up for me at the last minute and took loving care of my pup and home for the weekend. She sent photos and even indulged my pups fussy diet. I will definitely call on her in the future.”
“After meeting Zach we knew that he was the one who we wanted to watch our home. You could really tell he takes what he does seriously. It was so amazing to leave town and know that our home and pets were being taken care of.”
About: I myself have pets and I too am hesitant to leave anyone with them. I will treat your pet like it’s my own and keep you updated every step of the way! I am actively trying to get as many steps in as I can per day, so I love going on long walks! But I also love chilling on the couch with a shy or non-active pet. Weekdays: afternoon/evening walks Weekends: Any time with a head's up! I am a preschool teacher and tutor so please don't hesitate to reach out about scheduling, as my hours are flexible. I like to make sure the pet feels loved and safe first and foremost and I make sure to keep great communication with the client! I am very adamant on making sure all the necessary tasks are completed as well.
“This is our 2nd time booking with Amber to house sit and take care of our dog and she was great! Sent us pictures of our baby, showed up on time, spent quality time with Fofinha and even helped out with washing the sheets for our next visitor. We will continue booking with Amber in the near future!!!”
“Jodi was incredible with our dog, Sam. She was responsive, loving, compassionate with her care of him. She kept us well informed of his activities. Additionally, our home was well cared for. I felt completely comfortable leaving Sam in her care and would highly recommend her for caring for a family pet. I will definitely use her service moving forward. Thank you Jodi😊”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful with our elderly dog, Trixie, over Thanksgiving. She was incredibly gentle, patient, and attentive to Trixie’s needs, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands. Samantha sent regular updates and photos, and it was clear that Trixie felt comfortable and loved. We’re so grateful for the exceptional care she provided and would highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter. We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Lauren was great! She watched my home and two dogs for a week and everything was perfect. Walked the dogs daily, kept them loved and happy, and I came back to a spotless home. Good communication. She has walked the dogs a couple of times as well and was fantastic! Definitely recommend if you’re looking to leave your home and dogs with someone trustworthy so you can have stress free time away.”
“Brady was such a natural with the pups. We have a rottie who can be a handful and Brady put her at ease immediately. When we returned, our house was clean and well-taken care of. We would love to book Brady again, any time.”
“Jackie watched my two frenchies and my house while I was away on a long weekend trip to the east coast. She was extremely professional, communicative, and my dogs loved having her stay. They also loved having a new buddy Finley, her gentle beagle to hang out with ! She took fantastic care of my house as well, even going the extra mile to wash sheets, dishes and I came home to a clean house and happy dogs !”
About: With years of experience caring for neighbors' and family friends' pets, I’ve become a trusted pet sitter for both weekend stays and extended vacations. Whether it's keeping pets company during a short weekend away or ensuring they're well-loved during long trips, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with the attention and care they deserve. Since I’m a student taking remote classes, my schedule is flexible and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I can easily fit pet sitting into my daily or weekly routine, ensuring your pets get the attention they need throughout the day. Whether it's walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I'm available to keep your pets happy and comfortable while you're away. In both my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for pets. I make sure that the space is pet-proofed, free of hazards, and stocked with everything your pet might need—from toys to treats. When caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, calm environment where they can relax and feel secure. In clients' homes, I follow any specific instructions provided to ensure consistency in their routine and comfort. I also keep an open line of communication, sending updates to ensure peace of mind. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority.
About: Over the course of my life, I have gained extensive experience in animal care. My expertise encompasses a diverse array of species, including, but not limited to, kittens, puppies, adult mammals, and reptiles. As I do not have children and stay at home, I have flexibility throughout the day. I am available from approximately 10:00 AM after my morning routine until around 11:00 PM. Although my yard is fully enclosed, it does feature a pool. My house is in close proximity to a dog park, which offers abundant opportunities for outdoor engagement with your canine companion. I am fully prepared to comply with all guidelines you establish for your residence, as I recognize the significance of clearly defined parameters.
“Lauryn recently took care of our cat and home for a weekend. I found her to be a great communicator, and it was so true while we were away. I received a few photos every day, and it put our hearts at ease to know that our kitty was being well cared for and companionship. In meeting Lauryn, I appreciated her care to meet and bond with our cat and spent time getting familiar with her. Our cat took to Lauryn’s kind energy. My cat, husband, and I liked the way Lauryn approached her introduction to all of us. I highly recommend Lauryn and look forward to working with her again in the future. She just made the possibility of traveling in the future an option without worry.”
About: Hi, I'm Nick, a Kentfield local who's home for the next few months and looking to spend them outside with dogs. My dog's name is Holly (short for Hollywood - we've named all of our dogs after Top Gun characters ((don't ask)) and I look forward to hiking and walking her every day! Whether your dog is a high-energy pup who needs to burn off steam or a mellow senior who prefers a slow sniff around the block, I'll tailor each walk to their pace and personality. I'll keep to your dog's routine, follow your instructions, and send you an update after every walk so you know how it went. For five years I worked at a camp as a counselor and lifeguard, which means I'm used to staying attentive, responsible, and calm while looking after others. When I'm not walking dogs, you can usually find me playing guitar or getting out on the trails around Marin! I'm currently looking for full time positions in New York City, but am back home until I find something. That also means I'm more than happy to hang around at all hours of the day! I keep dogs securely leashed and stay alert on every walk. For overnights, I follow your dog's routine, keep your home secure and tidy, and send regular updates. My camp counselor and lifeguard background keeps me calm and responsible.
About: I love cats of all shapes and sizes, and they seem to like me back! I was the go-to pet sitter for friends who traveled often. My schedule is flexible! I am willing to devote a lot of time to your cat(s) on weekdays. I am open to pet sitting on weekends as well! I like to keep a constant eye on all cats under my care. PET-CAMS WELCOME! Your pet's safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities! I maintain a respectful distance until rapport has been established. I take lots of pictures!
“Mariia and Ethan were great! Excellent communicators, happy and well exercised pup and a clean house upon return. You couldn’t ask for anything more. They are responsive and responsible. We will be using them again!”

Alisha was fantastic! Not only did she take the time to come meet us, see our space and routine a few days before her stay, but she was incredibly communicative and responsive. She took great care of our pup and our space, sent plenty of updates and was very responsive. We would welcome her back anytime.
Ariela was dependable, responsive and had great communication. She messaged us with daily updates and photos. She took Brodie on daily outings for walks and to the dog park. I felt comfortable with her staying in our home and did not worry about our dog while we were away. Brodie and the house were in good shape when we got back. I would definitely use Ariela again for our pet.
I am so glad I found Lydia. She went above and beyond. She even helped my sister when she needed to find some things at the apt for me. She sent photos and updates everyday. She took Rosco for a lot of walks, out to the park and to run errands with her. I really feel like she treated him like her own pup.
Juliana was a fantastic pet- and house-sitter. She took our dog on many fun outings and spent lots of time with her. Our dog actually seemed a little sad to have Juliana leave at the end of the week-long stay. Juliana took great care of the house as well, and communicated extremely well when a couple of minor issues came up. We highly recommend Juliana without any hesitation.
We could not have asked for a better cat sitter than Marilee, she not only took exceptional care of our kitten, but also went above and beyond to ensure he was stimulated and happy while we were away. She brought him things like string toys and newspapers to play with- which kept him really active and entertained. In addition to her A++ care, she also was great communicating with us. I loved getting little videos and pictures of him every day. I highly recommend Marilee- she really is a cat whisperer! Marilee also
Kora was an excellent dog/house sitter. She was very responsive and sent us updates and photos of our dog throughout our trip. I felt very comfortable having her in our home and she was very respectful of it. We will be sure to book Kora for all of our future dogsitting needs.
Susan was amazing. We were very concerned about leaving our three dogs for the first time in years especially our 16 yr old with health issues. However, Susan did an incredible job handling the special needs of all three dogs from food issues to medications. On our first meet and greet we could see she was truly an animal lover and had the patience and disposition we were looking for as a dog/house sitter. We would highly recommend Susan to anyone who is looking for to care for their fur babies while out of town. We will definitely be using Susan again!
We feel like we hit the jackpot when we discovered Claire! And we would not hesitate to book her again to stay with our two pets!!! Claire came by ahead of time for a meet-and-greet, and even our kids immediately loved her. They actually asked if she could come back and babysit, which she very kindly offered to do. While we were away, Claire sent photos and videos of our dog and cat, and clearly gave our pets loads of TLC. Our cat, who is usually pretty fussy with strangers, seemed completely relaxed and happy, which says everything!!! Our coonhound can also be a handful on walks and Claire handled her without a single issue all week!! When we got back from our trip late at night, the pets were calm and cozy, and it was such a relief to walk in and feel like everything had been so well cared for. We had such peace of mind with Claire at our house, looking after our pets, and we look forward to working with her again soon. Thanks again, Claire!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Sleepy Hollow is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $63 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.

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 Sleepy Hollow 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 Sleepy Hollow 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 Sleepy Hollow 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
