About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a natural love for caring for pets. Growing up, I had many pets of my own, and I also helped neighbors by checking in on their pets while they were away feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they felt comfortable and cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will treat your pet like my own by providing them with attention, patience, and lots of love. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away! I currently work as a teacher assistant and I’m also a part-time student, so I stay pretty busy but, I always make time for things I care about. I’m available during school breaks, some weekends, and throughout the summer, and I’m committed to being reliable and consistent when I take on a booking. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. I have a large fenced yard where pets can run around, play, and get their energy out safely. I have an above ground salt water pool if your pet likes to swim in the water. I also love taking dogs on walks, and I live in a very walkable, quiet, and safe neighborhood that is perfect for getting fresh air and exercise. I make sure each pet gets the attention they need, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just relaxing and keeping them company. I pay close attention to their routine, behavior, and any specific instructions you provide so they feel as comfortable as possible.
“We just completed our first week with Samantha and everything went great. Our small cockerspaniel usually can’t adapt to new people and he took to her right away. It is nice to have a trustworthy local person for our family. We would very much recommend Samantha.”
“Katherine was amazing with my dog!! First time using Rover and I couldnt have had a better experience! She is kind and caring, and did an amazing job with my senior dog who has a lot of specific needs. Shes the best!”
“Kellie is super attentive to instructions and cares for your animal as her own. Accessible for contact throughout the visit. She was a huge help and look forward to hiring her again for future visits.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have years of experience caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I genuinely love spending time with them. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and is cared for like they’re my own. I’m dependable, communicative, and will always keep you updated while your pet is in my care! I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of availability to give your pets the time and attention they deserve! I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’m attentive and responsible, and I'll follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, medications, routines, or anything else your pet needs. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for, and I’m always happy to send updates and photos while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs (and other animals!) for many years. Family, friends, and co-workers have relied on me to watch and care for their pets whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, even taking them to the vet. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages, from senior bull mastiffs to pugs under a year old. There is no dog too big or too small because they’re all perfect to me. I’ve also found lost dogs and helped them return to their owners! I have experience caring for anxious dogs, blind dogs, deaf dogs, dogs with mobility issues, and dogs that require medication. Other animals I’ve taken care of include: cats, parrots, guinea pigs, fish, rabbits, and hamsters. Pets are so precious, they’re such an important source of joy in their family’s lives so it’s such a privilege to be trusted with their care!! :) Pet sitting is currently my full time job, so I have lots of time to give your animals the special care and attention they deserve! I have a fenced in yard which is perfect for dogs to run around in. I also have a car so I’m able to take dogs to the dog park or dog beaches nearby (if that’s something they would enjoy). At a client’s house I still follow any guidance/schedule given to me. In between I typically take the dog’s lead. I’m at their house so it’s important to me that I respect their space (and the clients above all)! I like to take their cues to make sure that their sense of routine isn’t disrupted.

I am reliable and responsible and would love to be your pet sitter! I work full time right now, but I do have a flexible schedule and am able to make times that work for you and your pets! I have one cat at home that I take care of and am flexible and open to whatever your pets need in their drop in visits.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, including my two childhood dogs and I’ve babysat and watched other families dogs for 10 years now during highschool and college. I am now a physician assistant and have a rotating schedule that allows me to be home during the week. I am on both Wag and Rover. I have a rotating schedule and am home most days of the week, and able to spend a lot of time with the doggies. I eventually want to get my own again! I have a really nice neighborhood to walk the dogs around, my friend also does rover who lives next door! There’s a ton of parks to play fetch and run around with them as well if that’s something you’d be interested in.

About: For the majority of my life, I have always had a dog in my possession! So I have always known how far my love and care for animals goes. I have watched my family’s dogs when they went on vacation and I’ve also walked a couple of dogs in my neighborhood. Now, my love and care for animals goes beyond measure. They are family, and should be treated as such! Which is why I plan on making sure I would treat your pets the same way you would if you were there! I will always plan to go above and beyond for your pets. I am not someone who does the bare minimum when it comes to taking care of animals. I love what I do and I have the passion for it. So I plan to do whatever I can to make sure that your pets are treated with the amount of love and care they deserve. I currently have 2 jobs, so I would just have to work with my schedule on what I can do! But it is something I am more than happy to do! Due to my living situation, I am unable to dog sit at my house. However, I would be able to find ways of travel to your home. I would make sure I was there with them for as long as you need, if not more! Plus I wouldn’t mind help getting a couple house things done while there if you needed. Just give me a list of what you want done and how you want it done and I know I’ll be able to help! I also can walk dogs if needed.

About: I have taken care of animals since the day I could remember including my own and my neighbors or family friends. I have always had a love for animals and hope to always have a companion with me every day. I have the skills needed to provide for either a puppy or a senior dog. Anyone who knows me would describe me as a loving, trusting, and reliable person not only to people but to animals as well. I hope to extend this love to your best friends as well! Currently I am available any day of the week to come and care for your animal! I love taking dogs on walks or just playing around with them in the backyard or the park. A couple of months ago my best friend Browni passed away so I am excited to have this play time in my schedule. I have a fenced yard in my own backyard if your dog needed to stay at my house and plenty of room for them to play around. I also am aware if a dog needs to be back in a crate I will do so and before I let them roam free I will make sure all door and gates are locked so there will be no where for them to run off too!
About: I currently work in a vet clinic as a receptionist and am in training to be a vet tech! I have experience with both cats and dogs!

I am very patient and have personally worked with rescues and senior animals who need a little extra TLC and time to adjust or move around. I am very understanding when it comes to particular ways of handling situations or routines as my girl is a rescue and can also be picky with things (eating, reactivity, medication, etc)! I am very flexible and can work with you to make sure your pets have the best experience possible with me and love to learn every animals different personalities!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Holtsville
I feel so lucky that I found Elena. She is a great communicator and reliable. She also gives detailed updates which I really appreciate as a crazy dog mom. I know she understands how much I love my pets and that is hard to find. I highly recommend and I am thankful for Elena.
Linda is a wonderful dog sitter, you can tell she truly loves what she does. She was so kind and caring towards our dogs and sent great updates. She was always on time and was great with communicating. I’m always nervous when going away and leaving our dogs, having Linda watch them really made me feel so much more at ease and I was able to enjoy our vacation much more because of her.
Amanda was excellent. Extremely responsive, punctual, and and provided us with frequent updates/photos. She took care of our pup while we were away via pop in visits. Everything went well. I’d highly recommend and will definitely be requesting her services in the future.
I can’t even begin to describe how awesome Sulayka is! She was so good to our dogs. We had to be away for 2 weeks and needed someone to drop in to make sure they’re okay. Our dogs LOVED her immediately! Even our rescue who is unsure about new people loved her. She spent quality time and loved on them everyday! We are so grateful! Thank you again, Suki ❤️
Bella was a pleasure to work with. She stays in touch leading up to the visit and afterward. She also did a great job of calming one of our more skittish kitties during our interview. We love the picture updates from the visit - thank you for those. Will definitely book again!
Kelly came by ahead of time to go over Cookie’s care instructions, even in the rain, which I really appreciated. She was punctual, attentive, and took the time to understand everything thoroughly. That level of commitment gave me a lot of confidence going into the booking.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Holtsville is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $39 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.

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 Holtsville 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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
