“Another wonderful job by Amanda! Our elder dog Chelsea was getting over not feeling well and Amanda cared for her like she was her own. She gave lots of feedback and pics. Showered our Chelsea Girl with attention. Will book again!”
“Kelly was such a great caretaker for our babies and our house! She is so patient and loving; she took excellent care of everyone; and she gave us frequent photos and updates while staying at our house. We will absolutely ask her to care for our pets again!”
“This is atleast the forth time Anthony And Melanie have stayed at the house during our trips taking magnificent care of Ollie. The are kind, pet knowledgeable and Ollie adores them! No worries when they are here looking after Ollie. Barbars and Frank Navetta”
“I recently used Tricia for the first time for two nights of pet sitting with my senior chihuahua, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She was incredibly professional, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She took such amazing care of my dog and kept me updated the entire time with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It meant everything knowing Winnie was in such good hands. I will absolutely be using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
“Hands down best dog sitter I’ve ever had. I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my baby with anyone else. I received photos and updates throughout the day and the experience with dogs was unmatched. Thank you! Will definitely use again!!!”
“Staci is wonderful. We just did a trial run for a longer trip and it worked out great! We have three dogs, one of whom is very difficult and she really was able to accommodate and work through his quirks. We also felt relaxed and appreciated her photos and updates.”
About: I am an experienced dog walker, and pet owner. I was a Rover walker and dog care friend from 2017 to 2019. After taking time off to attend graduate school, and a pandemic, I am happy to continue taking care of human's best friends again. I've taken care all kinds of dogs, from Siberian Huskies, to bulldogs, to cocker spaniels, beagles, and the young and then the young at heart. My own family's dog is a five-year-old English Bulldog/Beagle mix, Rooney (pictured here as a pup). I currently work full time from home. I love staying active and have a car for easy transportation. If you are interested in doggy-day care, I prefer you request it at least 24 hours in advance. Especially for those circumstances, I prefer to have a meet and greet with you and your dog if possible, to see if we are good fits for each other. Thank you for choosing me to care for your best friend. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am home most of the time because I work virtually. As long as I can schedule it beforehand, I can drive to you for walkings. I currently do not board, but in your home I will treat it with the utmost respect as I would my own. I always oblige to my client's wishes in how their dog plays a part in their home.
“Jess was wonderful with our golden retriever! She was prompt, efficient and communicative which eased any worry we had. I would definitely recommend Jess for any dog service you need!”
“I reached out to Tricia in a bit of a panic as our normal dog sitting options fell through very last minute. Not only did she make time to help, she went above and beyond to make sure our puppy feel loved. Right from the meet and greet my dog took to her like she was part of the family, and my travel anxiety was immediately put at ease as she ran through her care plan. We truly can't thank you enough, Tricia! You were amazing in every way!”
“Elliot and Jackson are truly amazing dog sitters. They took the time to get to know our two mini schnauzers (one being a nervous rescue) prior to the visit. Communication was excellent during the pet sitting and I felt confident that my dogs were being well cared for. They even got some kisses from my rescue boy, which doesn’t happen often. I would highly recommend them.”
“Kimberly took us as a last minute house sitting booking and was even able to squeeze in a meet & greet. She was really good to our 2 dogs and 2 cats and we could trust her in our home. We’re so happy to have found her! Thank you, Kimberly!”
“Hailee was so great with our cat Duke! It’s been difficult to find someone reliable and that we trust but Hailee eased all our worries! We felt Duke was in the best hands while we were away and will continue using Hailee for drop ins/stays.”
About: In this past year I’ve been caring for a friends 3 legged dog. She needs extra loving, patience and care that I’m fully able to provide to her and others. My weekends are always open. I’m able to accept last minute requests as well. I’ll work around your schedule. Please reach out to me with any questions! I don’t have any pets, so I’m able to give yours my full attention. I do have a teenager that might come along for a walk, just a heads up.
“Wow where do I begin? As a homeowner, it's a matter of trust to have a house sitter, which I've used others through rover in another state before but was not nearly as impressed as I was with Sam. Her communication throughout, dedication to my pets well-being and impeccable state of our home upon return was amazing. As I took off overseas for the holiday I was reassured that my animals were secure which set the tone for the trip. I was relaxed the entire time with adorable updates and thoughtful touches via pictures and messages. Sam is a mature multi-tasker and a nice person overall. I left an extremely detailed list of instructions but it was pointless---Sam knows how to run a household! Thank you, Sam!”
About: I have a passion for working with dogs (and cats), especially in training with them. I have 10+ years experience of working, riding, and training horses! No matter the age or size, I’ll be there to care for them when you need. Even if they have special needs or quirks, I’ll always accommodate. Looking to make this into my career!! I have a huge passion for animals, especially dogs, cats and horses. I got into this so I can prioritize my passion for a career with dogs! Weekends are available as well, and I will always try and work something out! No matter the size or age of your pet, I will always try my very best to accommodate! I am available for most holidays as well! I try and leave everything as if I was never even there! I love brushing cats/dogs so I might just spend time doing that as well! I try and be as comforting as possible to keep the pets routine the same as well.
“This was my first time boarding my cat and Hayley made it super easy and gave me much peace of mind. She was kind and patient, sent lots of pictures and videos, was super flexible with any schedule changes I may have had and was super welcoming! I can’t explain how grateful I am for her service and having someone I can trust with my baby for any future trips I may have!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Holbrook
Kelly was truly amazing with our two dogs trooper and Samantha. It was our first time leaving them and we were nervous because trooper sometimes has seizures. Kelly kept us updated, send photos and followed our instructions exactly. The dogs loved her and she loved them and we definitely will be using her again.
Katlyn and her husband were wonderful with our two dogs! They watched our dogs at our house for 12 days while we were on vacation and took care of them like their own. One of my dogs was on medication, and they did a great job administering it. We came back to our house being neat and tidy. Would highly recommend!
Linda is amazing!!. My dog has anxiety, especially around new people, and Linda's calm, patient and caring nature put her at ease right away. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing my pup was in such loving hands. I couldn't ask for a better sitter. I highly recommend Linda!!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
