“Brett was absolutely amazing with our boy, Tex. I had to go away for a weekend and the person I had set up to walk Tex had to leave town (my fiance was able to care for him but is diabled so couldn't walk him) so I was in a bind. I signed up on Rover and found Brett. She met with Tex before I left and she was amazing. THEN...another friend who was going to walk Tex, suddenly became sick and had to cancel a few walks (I was already 8hrs away and panicking). Brett stepped in last minute and covered those walks too! I don't know what I would've done without her!”
About: I have loved dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I wasn’t allowed to have a dog, but I spent a lot of time caring for my neighbor’s Bernese Mountain Dog, Koda. I would walk, play with, and care for him, which helped me realize how much I enjoy working with animals and building connections with them. As I got older, I began volunteering with Carol’s Senior Pet Sanctuary, where I walked shelter dogs and sometimes brought them home overnight. This gave me experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, energy levels, and personalities. I understand that every dog is unique and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My love for animals has inspired me to pursue a career in dog grooming and training, with the goal of becoming a professional dog trainer. I’m patient, energetic, and happy to keep active dogs entertained while also being comfortable with shy or nervous dogs. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, companionship, or just some extra love and attention while you are away, I would be happy to help. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you are gone. I will treat every dog as if they were my own and give them the patience, attention, and care they deserve. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekends. I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide care whenever you need it. Whether your pup needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or extra attention, I’m always happy to help and make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved! I take pet safety very seriously, both in your home and in mine. I make sure doors are securely closed and locked when needed, and I keep anything potentially harmful or unsafe out of a dog’s reach. I always keep a close eye on the dogs in my care, especially puppies who may be curious and get into things. I’ll also follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines, and any areas of the home your dog is or isn’t allowed in. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment where your pup can feel right at home.
“Julia went above and beyond to accommodate our very socially anxious dog. He’s always extremely excited to see her again, she stayed with him to calm him down when he was howling out of loneliness, she always replies quickly, and she’ll even bake cookies for the owners. Best experience we’ve had on this app”

I would highly recommend her services as she really did give my dog the best afternoon out and the photos she took looked like he had a brilliant time! Thank you Emma.”

About: Hey, I’m Janelle. Some people call me Nelly. I’ve grown up around all types of dogs my whole life and love being around them. I just want to be an extra hand for anyone who needs someone reliable to watch or walk their pups.I really love being active and getting outside, so I'm always down to take your dogs out for a good walk or run to keep them entertained and get their energy out. I'm also totally happy to just hang out on the couch, brush them out, or give them some good belly rubs if they're more of a couch potato.I'll treat your dogs like they're my own. Let me know if you need any help! I’m currently working part-time and from home, so I have a flexible schedule that can work around yours if needed. I have zero responsibilities besides myself and others that I care about, and your pet can easily be another. Whether you need a midday check-in, a quick walk, or someone to hang out with them while you're at work, I have plenty of open windows to make it happen. I only watch pets at the client’s house, I don’t do any boarding at my own place. When I’m at your house, I just focus on keeping your pet’s routine exactly how they like it so they don't get stressed out. I'm always super careful about keeping doors locked and making sure no quick cats or dogs try to slip out past me. I'll follow whatever instructions you leave for food, walks, or medicine, and I’ll send you updates and pictures so you know everything is good.
About: I have grown up with different dogs my entire life. My best friend was a Rottweiler named Sampson and I had him from a pup. I create trained him as well as click trained him to become a good citizen. I have experience with large breeds as well as small. I have cared my many fur babies in this own homes, keeping them happy with conversation, brushing, play time and long walks. I feel that all breeds deserve love regardless of the negativity they may get from others who don't understand the breed. I have owned pitbulls and have found them to be loyal and loving and don't judge any animal. I have experience training my own dogs as well as freinds and family. I'm currently working PT as a home health aid and have flexibility and free time Tuesday through Saturday to walk and hangout with your beloved fur baby. I would come to your home and watch your dog, take them for a walk, snuggle, feed, play, brush and engage them with conversation and provide them love and support.

About: Expert Care for Gentle Giants & Tiny Treasures Alike From 100+ lb Cane Corsos to 5 lb Chihuahuas, I’ve spent my life mastering the art of dog care. Whether you have a powerful large breed that needs a confident handler or a delicate senior who needs extra patience, I provide the specialized attention they deserve. I pour lots of love onto every 'fur baby'. Having owned everything from birds and dogs to hamsters and bunnies, I understand the unique rhythm of a pet-loving home. My specialties: in-home overnight pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks, ensuring your pets stay happy and comfortable in their own environment when you can't be there. I am a full time pet sitter, dog walker, and pet companion! House Sitting - BOTH extended 'dog sitting' (much like babysitting), AND overnight care in your own home (overnight stays do not include a day walk or drop-in, that requires an additional booking) Dog Walks - mornings (8am through 12pm), afternoons (12pm through 5pm), evenings (5pm through 9pm), late evenings are possible for special circumstances Drop-in Visits - mornings (8am through 12pm), afternoons (12pm through 5pm), evenings (5pm through 11pm) Feedings, administering medication, play sessions, and more! If you tell me your dog loves to eat its meals with a human sitting on the floor with him, that's what I'll do. I have spoon fed many dogs in my 10 years as a professional pet care specialist. If your dog is used to sleeping in bed with her humans, she gets to sleep in bed with this human, too! My goal: make your dog feel as if nothing has changed, other than the human, in his home.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Holtsville is $24 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Holtsville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Holtsville after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Holtsville. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
