About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets since I was little. Pets of my own, family and friends. I’ve always been dependable and so loving of animals. I’m here to give them the little bit of extra love throughout the day while the parents are away. I am available throughout most of the day! I have my own car, no problem there. I can do multiple potty breaks throughout the day if necessary! I provide pets with a happy environment. I do live in an apartments so I don’t usually care for pets in my home but I can if needed.

“As always, Staci was on time (even a little early) and took great care of Molly. She sat on the floor and played with her, made sure she also did all of her potty stuff, and gave her treats for being a good girl. Staci definitely loves what she does, and enjoys being of service! Will book again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Holtsville
Katharine is a wonderful, kind,caring, and conscientious cat sitter. She made my trip so much more calm-and relaxing because I didn't have to worry at all about my kitties. She followed all the instructions, gave one of them meds, sent lots of picture updates, and called me when she had a question. She is fabulous!
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.
I cannot say enough great things about ! They were so attentive and truly loving toward my dogs the entire time. It was clear from the start how much they genuinely care every detail was handled with patience and kindness, and my pups were happy, relaxed, and well-cared for when I returned. I received thoughtful updates that gave me peace of mind, and I could tell my dogs felt safe and loved in their presence. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, I highly recommend Cynthia. I will absolutely be booking with them again

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Holtsville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
