About: I absolutely love caring for animals! If you have pets other than cats or dogs, please let me know if they need any additional care. I grew up caring for birds, lizards, turtles, fish, and dogs, and I have also cared for bunnies and guinea pigs for friends while they were on vacation. I have plenty of experience dog sitting, letting pets out, playing with them, and taking dogs on walks. I’m comfortable caring for most animals (with the exception of spiders and snakes), and I’m happy to work with you to understand exactly what your pet needs. If you have a very energetic dog, I love going on long hikes during the summer and would be happy to bring your dog along for an adventure at a park. Please let me know how your dog does around other dogs so I can make sure they have a safe and enjoyable experience. If your dog simply needs someone to let them out, play with them, or give them some extra attention while you’re away, I’d be happy to help! I’m also happy to stop in and feed, check on, or play with other pets in your home. I’m very passionate about animals and love being able to help people by making sure their pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away! I work full-time in Holland, Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM–4:30 PM. My schedule is fairly flexible when I have advance notice, and I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s routine. For stays or visits arranged ahead of time, I can provide dog walks and pet care before work in the morning and after work in the evening. I’m also happy to discuss additional visits or care needs depending on the schedule and length of the booking. I’m comfortable caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens and other birds, goats, horses, sheep, rabbits, reptiles, fish, and more. Whether your pets have a simple routine or need a little extra attention, I’m happy to follow their normal care schedule and make sure they’re well looked after while you’re away. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine, needs, and personality. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where I can keep them comfortable and maintain their normal schedule while their owners are away. I can provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, medication if needed, litter or cage cleaning, and general care based on your instructions. I’m also comfortable caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens and other birds, goats, horses, sheep, rabbits, reptiles, and fish. I understand that every animal is different, so I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and take the time to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. With advance notice, I can often accommodate schedules that require visits before and after my normal work hours.
“I think Kaline had more fun than I did (and I was watching the total eclipse!). I didn’t worry about Kaline while Melissa was caring for her. If Kaline could talk she’d be begging me to go away so Melissa could watch her again!”
About: I have utilized Rover services all over the country for my own beloved dog and am excited to be of service to other pet lovers. Usually I will be away from home about 5 hours max on average Monday through Friday. Weekends vary some but not usually away more than 3 Our home is able to be divided or cohesive. If your pet prefers a quiet space, we can provide that. I am willing and able to do multiple daily walks and live on a culdasac away from traffic. I have a large dog that gets along with others but I do not force the interaction and can easily separate.
About: I have experience working at an animal shelter cleaning, caring, feeding, and walking dogs and cats. I have experience caring for puppies and giving medications to dogs. I am currently working full-time but I am free on most weekends. I would love to fill up my free time with taking care of pets! I don't ever want a pet to feel uncomfortable. As a chihuahua parent, I am very familiar with the separation anxiety that can occur when their favorite person(s) are away. My goal is to be an entertaining human bestie so that time away doesn't seem so bad!
About: What sets me apart is the patience, attention, and genuine care I give every pet in my care. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level—especially shy, anxious, or dogs who struggle with separation anxiety. I take the time to build trust and create a calm, safe environment where they can feel comfortable and loved. I’m happy to keep pets on their normal routines, provide plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and enrichment, while also giving them space when they need it. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and pets who need a little extra patience and TLC. My goal isn’t just to “watch” your pet—I want them to feel like they’re staying with someone who truly cares about them. ❤️🐾 Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to structure my day around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I’m flexible with different schedules and routines and will do my best to keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. Whether your pup needs a long walk, extra playtime, medication reminders, quiet time, or simply someone nearby for comfort, I’m happy to give them the individualized attention they need. During overnight stays, your pet will be treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable place to sleep and make sure they have everything they need throughout the night. I’m happy to follow their usual bedtime routine, including bathroom breaks, medications, feeding schedules, or extra comfort for dogs who may feel anxious in a new environment. I understand that overnight care is about more than simply being present—it’s about making sure your pet feels secure, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to their behavior, surroundings, and individual needs, especially when caring for shy, anxious, or sensitive pets. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I’m also careful about doors, gates, food, household items, and anything else that could potentially be unsafe for your pet. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I treat your pet and your space with the same care and respect I would want for my own. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable and confident knowing your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️
“Lillie was great, and Gilligan seemed right at home with her. She made sure to provide updates and send pictures. I really appreciated her staying in touch and I plan to use her again in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 889 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sullivan. 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 Sullivan 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 Sullivan 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 Sullivan 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.
