“David is an incredible sitter! He connected with all four (yes, FOUR) of my animals (3 cats + 1dog) while we were away. He provided frequent updates with pictures and didn’t hesitate asking questions. David offers a calm energy, is completely attentive, enjoys playing and connecting with each animal and bonded with them so effortlessly - he is amazing! Thank you, David, for taking such incredible care of our fur-family!”
“Vanessa watched our sweet lab Utah for 10 days while we went on vacation. I could tell Vanessa truly loves caring for animals as she spent so much time with Utah to make sure she was happy. Utah got multiple walks a day, played fetch at the park and lots of snuggles. It was quite a challenge to get Utah to part ways with Vanessa once we returned from vacation. They had become the best of buds. We are so glad to have finally found our go-to sitter for when we leave town. We also made her our regular walker as Utah demands having her in our lives!”
About: I've looked out of my mentor's dog while at my day program at Autistry Studios on Fridays occasionally. Other that no previous pet care experience. Hi, I'm Benjamin but people just called me Ben. I'm go to Sonoma State University and I'm not usually available throughout most of the weekdays but I'm available on Fridays and the weekends. I have two cats in my home. I always watch for them because sometimes my parents let them outside and I always looked for them.
About: I treat every dog like they’re my own. I stick to their feeding schedule and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I also love running, so if a dog is up for it, I’ll happily take them on a jog with me. I build my days around the pets I care for. I usually set aside specific blocks for walks, feeding, and playtime so nothing gets missed. It actually helps me stay structured and active throughout the week. I provide all pet care at the client’s home, never at mine. I follow their normal routine, keep their space clean and comfortable, and make sure they feel safe and cared for in their own environment.
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with two cats of my own, and I absolutely adore caring for pets of all kinds. Whether you have energetic dogs that need daily walks and playtime, independent kitties who want some extra snuggles, or any other furry (or scaly!) friends, I’m experienced and confident giving them the attentive, affectionate care they deserve. While you’re away, I’ll keep your pets happy and comfortable in their familiar environment, stick to their normal routines, provide plenty of love and exercise, and make sure your home stays safe and tidy. You can relax knowing your beloved companions are in trustworthy, caring hands! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m highly available for drop-ins, overnight stays, and house sitting whenever you need me. Your pets will always receive prompt and attentive care! I prioritize your pets’ safety and well-being above all else. In your home, I follow your exact instructions and routines to the letter — from feeding schedules and medication to favorite toys and walk routes. I’m a responsible, non-smoker with a clean background, and I treat your space with the same care as my own.
“I can't thank Orrya enough for watching my little Georgia while I was gone. Not only did she spend the day/night with her, the house was spotless when I came home....And, she left DoggieTV on for her:). What a wonderful touch!!”
“Zoe was amazing. She took awesome care of our pets and our home. She treated them like they were her own and left the house cleaner than when she arrived. I would highly recommend her! Thank you Zoe!!”
About: I grew up on a 500 acre farm in Sebastopol. I have always loved taking care of animals and have had cats and dogs as pets all my adult life. As a professional nanny and Family Assistant, I often care for my charges animals, taking them for walks, letting them in and out, throwing a ball around, taking them on little hikes or just playing at home. With the recent loss of both of my cats (at 17 and 18 years) I could really use some kitty or doggy love and can now make myself available for my neighbors near and far. I am available to come before and after work to check on Fido or Kiki and I am usually around on weekends as I am still very Covid conscious and do most things outdoors. I would love to take your sweetie on a hike. I am very conscious of putting my cats collars on before they go outside and make sure they are in at dark. I will follow any instructions that you provide and you can be confident that I will treat your pets and home with love and respect.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have years of hands-on experience as a lifelong dog owner, and dogs seem to connect with my calm, positive energy. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply providing companionship, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away Im currently looking for as many opportunities as possible as my schedule has opened up. Currently im taking same day booking but I am open to consistent weekly work. I first ask what is expected of me , and going from there. In the past I’ve taken care of dogs in kennels, fenced off, indoor, and anyway the owner sees fit ensuring the safety of the pet ❤️
“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.”
“Krystle was wonderful with our Australian shepherd, Margot. She took her on long walks and hikes, which is exactly what a high-energy Aussie needs, and Margot always came home happy and tired. Krystle sent pictures and updates regularly, so we never had to wonder how things were going. She also left our home spotless. We'd book her again without hesitation and highly recommend her.”
“We’ve used Lydia several times for our two dogs and cat. She continues to provide excellent care of our pets and home, while providing reliable and consistent updates and communication. Highly recommend!”
“Colin has watched GG at our home twice now, and we know he loves her. He sends great pictures where she always looks happy, and sends us updates. He is sweet, responsible, and responsive! He takes good care of my baby and home. Thank you Colin!”
“Brady was the BEST with Coconut!!! Coconut is a high energy dog. Brady took amazing care of him. Took him on a bunch of walks and played endless fetch. He was also SUPER responsive to me. House looks great and was so nice to have him stay. Looking forward to my next vacation and definitely booking Brady for Coconut! :) Couldn’t recommend him enough!”
“Alisha was great with my three cats! She took excellent care of them and my home while I was out of town. She is very responsive and send tons of adorable pictures. Couldn’t ask for a better person to care for your fur babies!”
“Highly, highly recommend Nate! He’s the best. He house/dog sat our three dogs (senior/blind pug, chihuahua, and a spirited Shepard mutt) plus looked after our leopard gecko. Dogs were so well taken care of and our house was left in perfect shape! He communicated wonderfully and sent us adorable pics. Definitely will use Nate again and highly recommend.”
“Susan went above and beyond for my little guy. He an old guy with ailments, and she was very attentive and mindful of his needs. She answered all my check-in messages and was flexible to give additional help if my travel plans had snags. And she left the place looking just as tidy as I left it. I highly recommend her.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Sleepy Hollow is €75

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.
Talia did such an amazing job taking care of my beautiful dog Phoenix and my sweet little cat Sadie while I was on vacation in Michigan with my family. Phoenix got lots of exercise and hiking adventures and Sadie got lots of love. Talia was very communicative with me and sent photos of my sweet pets regularly, and my home was spotless when I returned. Would definitely ask Talia to watch my pets again. Five stars! Can’t recommend her highly enough.
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!
This was the second time that Kathryn has watched over Peanut. We never have to worry when she watches over our kitten. Peanut is always so comfortable and playful with Kathryn - it makes it easier to enjoy our time away when we know she is in such good hands. Not only does Kathryn take great care of Peanut, our house is somehow always more sparkling when we return which makes for a great homecoming.
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!!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sleepy Hollow
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sleepy Hollow on Rover is $47.08 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,185 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sleepy Hollow. 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 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 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 Sleepy Hollow. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
