“We could not have had a better care taker for our two golden retrievers than Angelica! She walked, played, did training games, and gave our girls lots of love and attention. We give Angelica the highest rating and recommendation and will definitely use her again. Two big dogs are a lot of work and she went above and beyond! Thank you so much!”
“Kelly has been helping me with my two small dogs, Gigi and Roxie. She is very loving towards them while handling feeding, pee pad cleanup, and whatever else they may need while I am out of town.”
About: I have experience caring for animals of all shapes, sizes and breeds. I care for each pet as if they were my own. You will be happy knowing that your pet is getting the best possible care. Working from home affords me the flexibility and availability for the level of care required to care for your pet. I can provide your pet all levels of indoor or outdoor exercise ranging from secure and safe play spaces, short walks or active mountain hikes. I customize the care each pet needs based on what you and your pet require. I have over 15 years experience working with senior dogs and pets with special needs.
“We have used Jamie several times now as a sitter for our 2 cats and she always does a wonderful job! The cats are always happy, healthy, and well taken care of upon our returns. Jamie also follows all care directions meticulously which is a big relief when we need to be out of town. Thank you Jamie!”
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.
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’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: My home was set up for an 80lb dog with a fenced in yard and areas around the house. Should be very comfortable for any dog. I’m very attentive to the pets, making sure their needs are met and that they are safe and sound. When I take on a job, my schedule is pretty cleared out for it since I’m a retired person. I can schedule my time around the care of your pet. I care for pets in my home by keeping an eye on them. Taking them out into the fenced yard and walking them twice a day. If they like to play fetch or tug I’ll do that with them too. I keep them fed, watered, exercised and rested.
About: I've been a dog owner for over 40 years, I love all kinds of dogs, big and small. I just lost my best buddy Ziggy and I’m looking to share the love! I just retired so I have lots of availability and flexibility. I live in Marlboro township. Hope to hear from you soon! Available all day every day , short notice okay. I am retired and looking for some new buddies to hang with. Hope to hear from you soon!! I can watch in my home if needed. I’m happy to have them stay for an overnight if needed. I’ll treat your buddy like they’re my own.
About: I have one year of experience caring for my aunt’s Husky, along with eight years of experience owning my cat Yogi. Caring for pets has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of making animals feel safe and comfortable. I will follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a college student with a part-time job, and I plan my schedule to make time for pet care. I’m available on Mondays after class, Thursdays after 3:00PM, and Saturday mornings. I’ll make sure to communicate clearly with pet owners and provide reliable care during agreed-upon times. Your pet’s safety and comfort are important to me. I will follow your care instructions, keep your pet’s routine consistent, and make sure they have fresh water, food, attention, and a comfortable environment. I’ll respect your home, communicate updates, and contact you if I notice anything unusual.
“Karen was amazing with our dog Miley. She brought her own treats that Miley loved and was so caring and cautious with our dog. Karen made sure Miley felt safe and they had great playtime and walk. I highly recommend Karen to anyone reading this. A true dog lover and professional.”
“Jennifer is our first walker for our very co-dependent pandemic pup, and she made the whole experience effortless and comfortable. Looking forward to leaving our pup in her care again soon!”
About: I grew up loving animals and it has always stuck with me. My family and friends have trusted me with their fur babies for years now and I'm happy to be able to expand on that. I have my own goldendoodle and it was the best decision I ever made! I look forward to meeting your furry family members :) I currently work from home which makes my schedule very flexible. I am avialable just about any day, any time. I'm always willing to work with my clients. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly pup to keep yours company if that's what you'd like! Or, I'm happy to spend one-on-one time. Each dog has different needs!
About: I have grown up with dogs, so I can walk, feed, bathe and play with as needed. I have always aspired to be a vet ever since I can remember. Now, I am an Animal Science major with a pre-vet track in college, ready to gain more time and experience with animals in order to get to my future goals! I am a full-time Veterinary Assistant working 4 days a week until 6pm, so let me know ahead of time what days and times you would need as my schedule can vary. I am experienced with walking dogs who can be a lot to handle on the leash. Therefore, either a fenced in yard or a dog walk will work just fine with me.
About: I've had pets my entire life and treat everyone like family; I specialize with senior pets and rescues! Your pet will be treated like mine - family! I'm currently working and would love to pet sit for your Pet Pal - either nights, weekends or during holidays - I can provide the utmost care and support for your pet! I prefer to take care of your pet in your home - its best to keep them in their environment and am happy to stay overnight if needed to give them the best experience and care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Holmdel is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $22 per visit. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 21,644 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Holmdel. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
