“I would leave more stars if I could! Lily did a FANTASTIC job caring for my 2 cats while I was away. My cats eat only wet food, several times a day, so automatic feeders had to be set up daily. Lily did a great job following the instructions on how to feed them and it was nice returning from a long weekend away to a clean home- clean cat bowls, clean litter box, clean eating area, etc! I cannot thank Lily enough and I will be hiring her again soon!”

About: As a lifelong pet owner with years of hands-on experience, I know how much your furry family members mean to you. I specialize in creating a calm, loving environment, especially for dogs and cats who get a little nervous or anxious. Whether it's a leisurely walk or a cozy day of companionship, your pet will feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I treat every animal like my own, because that's the only way I know how I currently do not work and I would like to use this time to bond with pets and make lasting connections. I enjoy this type of activity and should be open most days of the week. I am meticulous and always follow all directions. I have gotten some pretty thorough briefings on pets before and then glowing reviews afterward. Pets feel safe and comfortable with me and I’m happy to provide extra reassurances to the pet parents as well.

Your pet’s comfort and well-being are always my top priority, as my experience with a variety of species supports my desire to provide.

My experience goes beyond work also as I’ve had a variety of pets throughout my life!

My schedule is consistent week-to-week, so you can count on reliable timing and routine for your pet! I tailor my care to each pet’s routine to keep them as comfortable and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and prioritize any preferences your pet is used to. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands!

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.

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: 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 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 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: I have been taking care of animals (cats, dogs, fish etc) my entire life. Not only my own but others as well. I pet sit and walk dogs quite frequently in the past. I also take care of my Grandmother and will go over and look after her pup as well. I am well experienced with both puppies and senior dogs. I mostly work on weekends (mornings on Sunday and Saturday Afternoons), aside from going into New York for a couple hours in the week for my job so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your animals! I am a very dedicated and detail oriented person so I can assure that your pets will be treated with the utmost care and respect and so will your home if I need to enter it at any point!

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.

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.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Holmdel on Rover is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $22 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 20,589 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Holmdel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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.

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 .

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.

  • 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 , 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.
