Leigh is an amazing pet sitter! She sent daily reports with photos of my fur babies. One of my kitty’s is a little shy but Leigh got her to come out from hiding which means a lot! Highly recommend trusting Leigh with your fur babies !

About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs most of my life and really enjoy connecting with each pet’s unique personality. Caring for my senior dog Benji during his later years taught me a lot about patience and paying attention to the little things that make a big difference in their comfort and happiness. I’m gentle and patient with shy or nervous pets and enjoy creating calm, low-stress environments. But I’m also happy to play and engage with energetic pets to help them burn off energy and feel satisfied by the end of our visit. I’m comfortable administering medications and always treat pets and their homes with respect and care. I work full time during the week, so most of my availability is in the early mornings (6-9 am), evenings (after 5:30 pm), and weekends. There can be some flexibility there if we work it out ahead of time :) I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine as much as possible, and I make sure they still get plenty of attention and care during the times I’m with them. If your pet needs a consistent schedule, just let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate. When I visit your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable by following their routine closely, keeping their space clean, and paying attention to anything that might seem off. I always double check that doors and windows are secure before I leave. I know it’s a big deal to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I understand that pets are family, and I take that responsibility seriously. I have extensive experience providing in-home pet care, including administering medications, maintaining daily routines, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve while their owners are away. In addition to caring for dogs, I've also cared for gardens and chickens, making me a dependable choice for both your pets and your home. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and keep your pets happy, safe, and comfortable. As an elementary school teacher, I have a flexible schedule throughout the year and am especially available during the summer months when I am off from school. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, walks, and care to your pets. Whether you need daily visits, overnight care, or last-minute help, I am committed to being a dependable resource for you and your furry family members. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and specific needs to ensure they feel secure and well cared for while you're away. I maintain a calm, positive environment, follow all care instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind. Whether it's a walk, overnight stay, or drop-in visit, I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own.

About: My whole life I was surrounded by animals. Even now with my partner having many large energetic dogs, and even having dozens of puppies at one point. I was trusted to take care of their fur babies by staying over night by friends, family, and neighbors. I even have knowledge of taking care of seniors, as my own dog couldn’t walk very well and had bathroom issues. But we made it work with stroller walks and diapers. I am currently a student at brookdale until may 12th then i will be full time at target in Middletown. it is mainly 8 hour shifts and i know that is a long time away from your pups but i will spent the time i am with them to the full extent! I am usually available most of the day and night, but I would like a heads up if you need some pets watched. Even though I don’t offer services in my own home, I do treat your house if I were taking care of mine. I’ll do my best to keep your house tidy and mess free for a stress free arrival.

About: I have extensive experience caring for animals of all kinds, fueled by my deep love for them. I’ve volunteered at the ASPCA, gaining hands-on experience with various pets, and regularly pet sit for family and friends, ensuring their furry companions feel loved and comfortable. I also spend time volunteering on farms, caring for larger animals and learning more about their unique needs. Whether it’s cuddling a cat, walking a dog, or tending to farm animals, I’m dedicated to providing the best care possible! I am currently a student at Monmouth University but have so much free time in my schedule to care for your pets! Whether I have no class on certain days, or I have time during my class day to care for them! Will provide class schedule if needed. I don’t care for pets in my home, only because I have 2 Dobermans who don’t like the attention not on them at all times!! I am totally open to caring for your pets in your home. In your home, I’ll provide personalized care to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. From feeding, walking, and playtime to maintaining their daily routines, I’ll treat them like my own to keep them happy and stress-free.

About: I have had dogs my whole life, some being high energy who play all day and some low energy who love to just cuddle and relax. Ive had 4 different breeds, from Pitbulls, Labradors, Huskies, and a German Shepherd. I know what it takes to make a dog feel at home and loved even if their owner isn't home. I love dogs more than most of the human in the world and trust me when I say your dog will miss me when I leave. I currently am searching for a job post college and waiting to enter a Police Academy in the coming winter. So I am available almost everyday and almost all day. I do have a dog at home that I take care of so if She needs to be walked I will do her separately. I have a energetic Husky at home so I know all about the high energy dogs, when I lived with my parents I had 2 couch potatoes so I know the best of both worlds. I love walking and running myself so having a furry friend with me just makes it even better.

About: I've been a dog owner and animal lover for over 20 years, and caring for pets has always been one of my greatest joys. Friends and family have trusted me for years to care for their dogs, whether that means daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship and lots of love. I'm an avid walker and typically walk about 3 miles every day, so I'd love nothing more than to have a furry friend join me! I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and routine, and I'm committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I promise to treat your pet as if they were my own, with plenty of attention, patience, affection, and care. I'm reliable, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're apart from your best friend. Whether your pup loves long walks, leisurely strolls, playtime, or just some extra company during the day, I'd be honored to help! I am self employed with a flexible schedule and work mostly evenings and weekends. So, during the week, I have lots of time to meet with your furry family members. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. I'll always follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special needs your pet may have. As a longtime pet owner and animal lover, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. I will treat both with the same care and respect I would my own, and I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry family member is happy and well cared for.

Charlotte was the best! This was my first experience with Rover and she both helped me with the platform and put me at ease leaving them with someone new. She was a huge help by dropping in and feeding my pups and letting them out when I had a long day in the hospital. Definitely recommend!! She sent me cute pics as well. Thank you ?

About: As a lifelong dog lover and proud "dog dad" to my two energetic black Labradors, I understand the importance of finding a caring, trustworthy sitter for your furry family members. Dogs aren't just pets - they're loyal companions who deserve the same love and attention we give our human friends and relatives. With me as your dog's sitter or walker, you can have complete peace of mind knowing they'll receive the highest level of care and affection. I'll treat your pup like one of my own, providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and belly rubs! Whether it's a long hike, a trip to the dog park, or just snuggling on the couch, I'll make sure your dog's needs are met and their tail is wagging. As an experienced dog owner, I understand each dog's unique personality quirks and will tailor my care accordingly. Anxious dogs will get extra cuddles, high-energy dogs can run until their legs are tired, and every dog will be showered with praise and positive reinforcement. I'm also well-versed in dog body language to prevent issues before they start. Your dog's happiness and safety are my top priorities. I'll send you regular updates and photos so you can see your pup is in great hands (and probably having more fun than you!). I'm available for daily walks, overnight stays, and even last-minute bookings for those unexpected late nights at the office. Let me be your dog's second best friend! I can't wait to meet your furry pal and welcome them into my pack. Book today for tail-wagging good times. I work from mostly from home and flexible as per your needs. Friday and Weekends are always available. We can always discuss schedule for other days. I have a fenced yard and two black labs to keep your fur baby company. Also have crates and dog beds available if needed :-)

About: I'm a Division 1 women's rugby player and a huge animal lover! Dogs have always been a big part of my life growing up, and I currently have a 3-year-old Boxer named Rory who is such a character and makes me laugh every single day. On top of my love for animals, I have years of babysitting experience and am in my 6th year as a lifeguard, so keeping a close eye on those in my care comes naturally to me. I'm reliable, high-energy, and genuinely love spending time with dogs so your pup will always be in great hands. Whether it's a long walk or some extra playtime, I'll make sure they're happy, tired, and well taken care of! I'm a college athlete home for the summer with plenty of time and energy to dedicate to your dog! I work as a lifeguard and legal intern most days from 9-3, so I have great afternoon and evening availability throughout the week. Your home and your dog are in good hands with me. I stick to whatever routines and rules you have in place, give your pup plenty of attention and activity during walks and drop-ins, and always leave things exactly as I found them. Your peace of mind is just as important to me as your dog's happiness!

This was my first time using Rover with Jamie and I couldn’t have had a better first time experience. She took care of my baby and sent pictures of the fun they had and made sure to text and update me when she left. 100% will be calling Jamie back and would highly recommend her services.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Holmdel

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Holmdel on Rover is $26.72 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 20,477 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Holmdel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Holmdel stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Holmdel 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!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Holmdel with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Holmdel. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
