“Juliana and her family embraced Aiden like one of their own. He was surrounded by love, constant attention, and she went above and beyond to make us feel secure and kept him safe. She kept in constant contact throughout the day with photo updates as well. I will work with Juliana EVERY single time as there is no one better who will value and love your pup as much she does!”
“I do not worry one single moment when our enthusiastic golden doodle Max is staying with Sangeetha. I get lots of photos and videos of his many adventures! Sangeetha is conscientious about Max's diet, need for play and love of car trips to outdoor places (or indoors at PetSmart). Her experience and sensitivity to each dog's needs are worth their weight in gold!”
“Donte did an excellent job looking after our two dogs and cat during the holiday weekend. The drop-off process was seamless, and he maintained good communication before, during, and for the pickup. Will definitely book again.”
“This is my second time boarding my dog with Tamikia (she has also done dog walking for me!), and she kept up the photo updates and responsiveness. She truly loves animals.”
“Kelly loved her stay with George! His dogs were great with her, and she enjoyed his fenced yard and walks in the woods. I know this, because when I picked her up, she wanted to go back in his house. 😂 The updates with pictures were great while we were away.”
“Another magical stay at Camp Aunt Erin! Pippa is a high maintenance elderly lady, and Erin graciously and lovingly cares for her sometimes ridiculous needs. 11/10 would recommend :)”
“Patty was extremely thoughtful and sweet to my senior dog for a week stay. I didn't have to worry at all, and he came back nice and tired and happy. He even made a doggie friend during his stay! Plus, she sent me some really great photos of him.”
“We had a family emergency and had to find care for our reactive dog on short notice. Sam worked with us and was so reassuring. He sent pics, persevered through giving her medication, and we came back to a very happy pup.”
“We highly recommend Chrissy! She cared for our Gracie like she was one of her own. We were away for a week and she sent pics & videos to keep us posted. I’m usually a worrier but not on this trip! Gracie was extremely happy & content!”
“This was Finn's first time staying with Roxanne and he came home happy and tired! I appreciated Roxanne keeping me posted on how he was doing and taking such good care of my furry baby!”
“Olivia was absolutely amazing with our senior pups, Luna (our Husky) and Kiwi (our Pug). It’s not always easy finding someone who understands the needs of older dogs, but Olivia was incredibly patient and kind. She kept us updated throughout their stay with sweet photos and check-ins that made us feel completely at ease. Kiwi still has bursts of playful energy, while Luna enjoys a slower, calmer pace — and Olivia balanced their different needs beautifully. We came home to two happy pups and that says everything. We’re so grateful to have found her and would absolutely book with Olivia again in a heartbeat.”
“Laura was the absolute best!! I couldn’t ask for a better person and environment for my dog. I didn’t have to worry at all while I was away - I was confident that my dog was being loved and cared for. Thank you!”
“Eric and Raz are our favorite dog sitters. They clearly love and care about our dog and we always feel 100% confident that she is well cared for with them. They give her lots of cuddles and have a good sense of her needs. It’s always a pleasure.”
“Tim was great! Friendly demeanor and lives in a wonderful location with quick access to the SRT; our pup was very happy. He came home clean, loved, and well taken care of. We will absolutely reach out to Tim in the future!”
“Yuiko always takes great care of Teddy! I really appreciate the updates and can tell he’s happy and well cared for every time. Highly recommend!”
“We had a great experience with this sitter! They took wonderful care of our pug, Dumpling, while we were away for a week. We really appreciated how responsive they were and how they kept us updated with lots of photos, which gave us peace of mind. Dumpling looked happy and well cared for the entire time. We would definitely book with them again!”
“Therese was amazing. She took our fur baby in last minute and she was very nice and accommodating. I will definitely recommend her and will again book in the future”
“I planned a weekend trip last minute and needed a dog sitter and as usual, Angie was available and reliable for my French Bulldog, Goldie. I have used Angie many times for my dog at this point, she is the only one i really trust to watch her.”
“Zyiana is an excellent sitter. Sent daily updates and pictures of my dog. He seemed very happy during his stay. I highly recommend and will book again!”
About: I am a lifetime lover and owner of dogs. While other kids watched Saturday morning cartoons, I watched shows about dog training and dog breeds. I grew up around dogs of all types and have always loved having one by my side. Our family recently lost our dog, and while I’m not ready to commit to dog ownership full time, I miss having one around and want to help other families. I have experience walking different types of dogs that have varying levels of leash skills, managing special dietary and medication needs and can adapt to their activity requirements. If you have a dog that’s used to being part of an active family, or at least around one, I could be a great fit for you. I shared availability that accommodates long weekend boarding needs. This is when I consistently work from home or am off so that I can be around and give your dog the best care. You can expect regular breaks and walks for your dog on my work from home days. On the weekends, I will include your dog in my family activities. While busy, I am at our home base a lot, and much of the activity involves walking the borough, going on mini adventures in nearby parks, or hanging at our house with friends. Including a furry guest into my family-centered lifestyle is easy (and fun!) for me to do. I have a fenced in yard, live in an extremely walkable neighborhood, and have a gated off mudroom when your dog needs a little more space or down time. My kids understand animal boundaries well for their age and are used to respecting their space. While they will not be responsible for your dog’s care, they will be around. My cat is suspicious, but typically tolerant of dogs once he gets used to them.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Holmes is $55

Ok so I was nervous leaving my pups with someone new. Dana eased those fears quickly! She took such great care of my girls and she sent me pics and updates my whole time away! My Covid pup even met herself a little boyfriend 🤣. I highly recommend Dana as she treated my girls as her own and she will truly give you peace of mind. She will definitely be seeing my pups again!
To start with, Samuel is a genuinely nice guy. He was very communicative throughout the process. He provided updates and photos of Freya throughout the visit. He double-checked if Freya had any allergies or things she was not allowed to do or eat before the visit began and even met with Freya ahead of time to make sure they were a good fit. When I went to pick Freya up, not only did Samuel have all of Freya’s things ready for me, he actually went through them with me to ensure nothing was missing. It also helps that he has a nice big fenced-in backyard for Freya to explore.
We had an amazing experience booking with Juliana! Juliana opened her home and welcomed our Simon for one week. Automatically, there was a sense of kindness and warmth upon leaving Simon with her as we left for vacation. Juliana messaged us daily sharing with us Simon's day, along with pictures of him as well. This act of kindness and thoughtfulness touched our hearts for we missed him immensely! Knowing that Simon was safe , cared for with warmth and attention , allowed us to enjoy our time away from him without worry. We highly recommend Juliana for anyone that needs care for their beloved pets. 10/10 stars!!
Shelby and Robbie were a great place to leave our two dogs for an extended time. One has some serious anxiety towards other dogs and they handled the situation and came up with a plan for her. They let us know how they were doing and we are thankful for them! Would use them again!
Paloma was fantastic and her family is wonderful. She arranged a meet and greet for her big fluff of a dog and my tiny dachshund. They got along great. My dog was happy and comfortable and relaxed when I picked him up. He had a great time emptying their toy box! I will book again.
I had no doubt upon our first meeting that Dakota would have a very comfortable loving stay with Chrissy. She sent a ton of pictures and videos along the way, which was super nice to get while traveling so far away! I can’t wait for Chrissy and Dakota to hang out again! No
First I used Sharna at the last minute on an holiday weekend and she and her family welcomed Poc and Poki with open arms and took them right into her home. She treated them as if they were her own. Sharna played with them and walked them every day. Poc and Poki were so happy there they didn’t want to leave when I picked them up. I would refer everyone to her if they want their pets cared for properly !
Saya and David are absolutely incredible pet sitters! They sent us plenty of updates about Cricket’s stay. They also were so wonderfully kind to her; snuggling her, playing fetch, basically treating her like she was their own family member. I’ve never felt so safe leaving my pup before!
Sarah was amazing! She was incredibly accommodating with our last minute booking and made the whole experience so easy. Our boy had the best time playing with her dog, Kobe! Sarah kept us updated throughout his stay and sent lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. He came home happy, well cared for, and completely worn out from all the playing and excitement! We would absolutely recommend Sarah and would happily book with her again.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Holmes is $30 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $34 per night. 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 3,318 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Holmes. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Holmes can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Holmes home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Holmes.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Holmes. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
You and your Holmes sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
