About: I have always had animals and I’ve been watching my friends and family’s pets for over 10 years. I have experience with every size dog from French Bulldogs to Great Danes. I’ve taken a break from corporate life and am available any day to hang out, walk, feed, play, cuddle, or just about anything your pet needs. I will visit your pet anytime of day or night to make sure they are happy, healthy and well taken care of. If it’s just a ten minute drop in, an hour walk, adventure to the dog park or an overnight, my goal is to make your pet happy and comfortable.
“My goodness I don’t even know where to start with this review for Melicia because she was so amazing! I have a very nervous German Shepherd with bad separation anxiety and she was such a calm and loving presence for him. He took to her immediately and loved her (he was screaming when she left lol). She took him on walks and a couple car rides because he kept asking 🥺 she even did a tick check after taking him on a walk and she’s honestly one of the sweetest humans I have met and really went above and beyond for my Thanos and I’m sad we were only visiting Boston or I’d hire her all the time!! Thank you for taking such good care of our boy and letting us have a fun last day in Boston ❤️”
“Nathalia was fantastic! On time, communicative, and thorough. She made sure our very anxious dog was at ease and happy the entire time which isn’t always an easy task! She is everything you would hope for in a sitter!”
“Ashlee was great with our almost 2 year old Labrador retriever/whippet mix. She kept us informed while we were away and our dog and home were both well cared for. I'd absolutely recommend Ashlee.”
About: I’ve lived with two reactive, senior dogs (a pittie and chihuahua) for the past two years and get the privilege of volunteering with the dogs at the shelter near me weekly! Experience with medication administration (topical and oral), basics needs (walking, feeding, playing) and overnight sitting. Current Schedule for drop ins (as someone who works full time) is: Monday: 5am-7am, 6pm-midnight Tuesday: 5am-7am, 8pm-midnight Wednesday: 5am-7am, 6pm-midnight Thursday: 5am-7am; 9pm-midnight F: 5am-7am; 9pm-midnight Saturday/Sunday: anytime I have experience leashing/walking/caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and behavior. I know when they need space, or when they want to play. I also am very careful about diet - have experience dealing with dogs w/sensitive stomachs or allergies so you can trust your dog’s feeding needs with me. Also have experience working with dogs who have special needs, including deaf and blind.
About: I have nine years of experience owning and taking care of an adopted dog. I have about two years of additional experience pet sitting and walking with dogs of all sizes, from young to senior pups, as well as cats. I am a recent college graduate currently job searching, so my schedule is very open at the moment. I am available most weekdays and weekends for overnight stays or daily check ins. The safety and health of your pets will be my number one priority. I will make sure your pet gets more than enough attention, exercise, and love!
“Sara took great care of my Dane while I was out of town. She was flexible and responsive, sent updates on how my guy was doing- which was much appreciated being so far away and having not left him before. I would absolutely recommend Sara and work with her again!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 15 years of experience caring for dogs, and I’m excited to get back to doing something I truly enjoy! I’m a proud dog mom to my own pitbull, Jax, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I absolutely love animals and enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I’m reliable, caring, and attentive, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup loves long walks, leisurely strolls, or getting outside to explore, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and love along the way. I’m currently offering dog walking services and would love the opportunity to meet your pup! My goal is to make every walk a safe, happy, and enjoyable experience for both you and your dog. ❤️🐶 I can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend! I work full-time during the week, but I’m happy to fit dog walking into my schedule when I’m available! I’m available for walks on weekday evenings and have more flexibility on weekends. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule and make sure your pup gets the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. I prioritize every dog’s safety and comfort, treating each pup as if they were my own. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and attentive. I provide walks in the client’s neighborhood, always use a secure leash, and adjust each walk to the dog’s age, energy level, and needs.
“Seger had a great time during his weekend with Christine. He seemed happy, well taken care of, and still tuckered out when I came back! She is a great photographer as well and provided multiple pictures of their activities together. Thanks again Christine!”
“Madeline was exemplary in providing attentive care for Teddy and the house while we were away for a long weekend. She followed our protocol sheet to a “T” and provided exercise and comfort for Teddy daily. Madeline kept the house spotless and took care of any additional concerns with ease. We will be looking to work with Madeline again in the future.”
“Emily took care of our Luna for three nights and four days, at our cottage. She took her on walks and took her swimming, Luna had a great time. Emily took great care of our house and it was spotless when we returned. Luna misses her!”
“Kelly was amazing with our Luna! She went above and beyond to care for our pupper: taking her on long walks, to the lake, playing with her, and sending us lots of updates! I couldn’t recommend Kelly more highly!”
“Julia was amazing! Provided so many updates. So easy to chat with. I can home to a happy pup and such a tidy house. Oliver can't wait for me to go away again to get to hang out with Julia! Would definitely recommend.”
“Isabella was wonderful! She was sure to update us daily. We have a picky eater and she made sure he was eating and playing daily. Our pups loved their time with Isabella and would recommend her to anyone looking for an at home sitter.”
About: I grew up in the country side in Michigan, where we had all sorts of animals, from goats and chickens, to cats and dogs. I always had a minimum of four dogs around me at all times, with all sorts of different breeds, from cane corse mastiffs to dachshunds and everything in between. I have come to learn how to handle dogs of different temperaments that live together, and how to help ensure different kinds of animal are being cared for at the same level all at oncs Currently I have a maremma sheepdog that I’ve worked with extensively in ensuring he is properly trained, and as he has grown older, he has had a couple health conditions that require him to take a couple pills, so I am well versed in ensuring an animal takes their medications. My partner and I also have two cats together that we have worked with on training in a variety of different ways. I work a touring life with bands, so while there are stretches of time where I am unavailable, I pride myself on being a reliable and responsible animal lover. Where I work with my partner (who is also on rover)in the care of our animals at home. Prior to any alone time with pets, we will schedule a meet and greet, to help ensure that I can be a good fit for your pet! I currently work part time in a retail position, so my schedule varies there, but that allows me more freedom and flexibility in when I can have time available to check in on your fur baby. I do also have a touring gig, so there may be weekends or full weeks where I am unavailable. My dogs have always held an important space in my life, and I know your pets hold the same in yours. I practice a calm and patient approach to pet care, where I allow your pet to approach me as they feel comfortable. I am comfortable giving pills in a healthy and safe way, with the techniques that you have used to ensure they are feeling healthy. I am comfortable in a variety of situations, whether that be taking your dog for a long walk, playing with a cat in the comfort of an apartment, or watching a dog for an afternoon
“Erin took excellent care of our dog Arthur for a long weekend. She was communicative before the stay and arrived on time. She sent texts and picture updates throughout the stay, and she left our home so neat and clean it was like no one had even stayed there. We would highly recommend Erin for her dog sitting services.”
“Robin is the BEST! She sent us pictures the whole trip, was thorough and detail oriented. And somehow we came home to a cleaner house, happier pup, and a yummy salad!”
“Lindsay was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our pets and our home while we were away for an extended trip. From the very beginning, she stood out as incredibly thorough, experienced, and responsible. She took our meet-and-greet seriously, asked thoughtful and detailed questions, and made sure she understood our pets’ routines, personalities, needs, and all of the little details of caring for our home before we left. She was also exceptionally prompt in her responses and proactive in her communication. We never had to wonder how things were going or reach out repeatedly for updates; Lindsay took the initiative to keep us informed throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were traveling. Her communication made it very clear that she is an experienced sitter who understands how important it is for pet owners to feel connected and reassured while they are away. Throughout the stay, Lindsay gave us every confidence that our pets were happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. It was obvious that she took the time to learn their individual routines and personalities rather than simply going through the motions. She was attentive to the details we had discussed and treated their care with the same level of thoughtfulness and responsibility she showed during our initial meeting. She was equally respectful and attentive with our home. We returned to everything clean, organized, and very well cared for, along with happy and relaxed pets. Coming home after a long trip and immediately being able to see how thoughtfully everything had been looked after was such a relief. Most importantly, Lindsay gave us genuine peace of mind from beginning to end. Her thoroughness, responsiveness, initiative, and clear experience made it easy to trust that our pets and home were in excellent hands. We are so grateful for the care she provided and would absolutely trust Lindsay to house sit for us again. We would recommend her without hesitation!”
“Tina was great! My dog was a bit sick and she took good care of her. Tina is an upbeat person which I think was fun for Ruby! Tina communicates well. I have already booked her again. Highly recommended!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Holbrook
We left our pittie mix with Erin for a night while we were getting married and she was great! Communication was 5 stars!! Mysha is an anxious girl and isn’t great with new people, sometimes even refusing to leave the crate no matter how bad she needs to go to the bathroom, but Erin got her out eventually and played with her!! Definitely will book again if we ever need to!!
Melisa is an outstanding house sitter as well as cat sitter. This time, Melisa sat for us for a week in July. She was responsible for taking care of our cat, our pool and our plants (indoor and outdoor). Of course everything was well taken care of. The additional thing that I really like about Melisa is that, besides being highly responsible, she is a warm person. It is important that the kitty likes her, but we do too! We have used her before and plan to do so again.

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 Holbrook 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 Holbrook 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 Holbrook 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.
