“Amanda was amazing with our dogs and bunny. Dogs were very comfortable with her and were very happy to see her each drop in . She was very attentive and detailed in each drop in and kept in touch throughout the whole week. I would highly recommend using her for any of your pets needs”
“It was such a relief having Elena checking on our elderly cat for the weekend! She did a great job, shared thorough updates and pictures, and just made us feel comfortable knowing our cat was taken care of.”
“Madison was great! My puppy ripped up an Amazon package and she so kindly cleaned up the mess and put the item somewhere he couldn’t get to! She kept me updated the whole time and handled his puppy craziness so well! Highly recommend!”
“Morgan is great at following any directions and she is a pleasure to work with and very pleasant. I feel very safe leaving my pets with Morgan. I especially appreciate that she is very responsive.”
“Tricia took a long job on short notice after a family emergency and went above and beyond for us. She also did a great job keeping me updated even though I was out of the country and coordinated with my emergency contact to make sure the pups were always in good hands.”
About: My family and I view each pet as they are our own. My promise to each pet parent is to provide safe and secure, tender-loving pet care from our home to yours! Being home full time enables me to have a flexible schedule. I’m available seven days a week for boarding, drop- in visits or dog walks. At my home we have a fenced-in small patio and plenty of time and space in my neighborhood to take pets on walks to provide daily exercise. I also like to take pets to local parks to release more energy if needed.
“Elisa was absolutely amazing to work with! One of our dogs has pretty severe medical issues and I felt so safe with her in Elisa‘s loving care. She treated our fur babies as her own and I can’t wait to work with her again.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have over 12 years of professional experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities! Along with my grooming background, I have hands-on experience with pet sitting, dog walking, and administering medications. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, and dogs with different temperaments, including shy, anxious, and reactive pups. As a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom myself, I understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable in my care! I offer flexible availability throughout the week and on weekends for boarding and pet care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine, including regular potty breaks, meals, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention. I keep my calendar updated so you’ll always know when I’m available! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! My home offers a loving environment with a fully fenced yard, plenty of room to play, and lots of attention. I have a friendly, well-socialized dog and cats of my own, so proper introductions and compatibility are very important to me. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their space and follow their usual routines as closely as possible. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll provide attentive, personalized care, regular updates, and plenty of love so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
“Christiana was great. She took care of my cat Domino for a week and when I returned he was well fed and well scooped. She kept everything in order and the house and litter box was clean when I got back. I was given good feedback after every visit and she arrived exactly when she was supposed to. Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve been around dogs pretty much my entire life! I am the resident dog sitter of my friends and family, I’ve been dog/house sitting since I was probably 11-12 years old. Once I got my license, I would beg my friends to let me watch their dogs while they were on vacation! I also love taking dogs on walks! I walk my dogs daily, and I try to hike with my dogs 2-3 times a week depending on weather. We also frequent the dog park, which is the thing I most look forward to every week! I work pretty much full time at a professional theater, so my availability is week days during the morning/afternoon. I’m also around Monday and Tuesday nights. My dogs get plenty of love, affection and exercise. Since they are beagles, they get a bit clingy, so I try to be receptive to their needs! We play outside (in our fenced in yard), they have plenty of toys and then we try to finish off the day with a long walk.
About: I’ve worked at a Veterinary Hospital for 32 yrs, raised/trained more than 15 puppies to be service dogs & have been doing Animal Assisted Therapy since 1993. I have recently retired, set up my house to be dog friendly and now I have plenty of time to spend with my dogs and your pups! My home is clean and dog friendly with a fenced in backyard. All dogs are allowed on the couch (if you allow that) and my lap (small dogs plz). There are plenty of toys and dog beds for resting:) I also have many baby gates if a dog wants alone time.
About: I’m a reliable and caring dog lover who genuinely loves spending time with dogs of all kinds. My neighbors and family members have often relied on me taking care of their dogs while they’re away which gave me experience in being attentive and patients to different dogs needs. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, some exercise, or just a little extra attention during the day, I’m here to make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I am currently working part-time so I am super flexible to work with you and your dogs schedule and routine. Whenever you need me I can try to accommodate you! In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized while giving their pet plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I make sure pets get enough outdoor time, stay hydrated, and feel relaxed while their owner is away.
“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!”
About: With over 10 years of pet care experience, I bring dependable feeding routines, fun activities that keep dogs busy, gentle but consistent discipline, and genuine loving attention that helps every pet feel safe, happy, and understood. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine because I have plenty of free time and a flexible schedule. Running my Etsy business on the side allows me to work from home, making it easy to prioritize walks, feedings, playtime, and companionship. Pets get my full attention, consistency, and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make sure their space stays clean, tidy, and respected. I provide a safe, calm, and trusting environment for their dog, focusing on consistent routines, attentive supervision, and plenty of love. My goal is to ensure both the pet and the home are well cared for at all times.
About: I am very patient and gentle. I love all animals. I would treat your dog like my own. I can come to your home feed, play or just take your dog for a little walk break while your at work or out for the night. I have a experience caring for dogs while parents are on vacation. I have gone to homes to let dog out while at work. I can take your dog to the park, I'm comfortable with feeding and giving medication. I love snuggling and talking to your baby. I’ll send updates and pictures throughout your trip.
“Kim is such an amazing sitter. We are so lucky to have found her and we literally could not ask for a better person to visit our puppy. She tired her out physically and mentally during her visits and our puppy is truly better behaved on days when Kim stops by. Kim is so patient with our puppy and on top of that she is so respectful of our home too. She has been such a pleasure to work with and I really can’t say enough good things about her 🥰❤️”
About: I’ve had a dog pretty much my whole life, so I’m very used to taking care of them and being around them every day. I also spend a lot of time around my girlfriend’s cat and help take care of her, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats. I genuinely love animals and I’m someone you can trust to make sure your pet is well taken care of and gets plenty of attention while you’re away. I’m a commuter engineering student at Stony Brook, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and spend a lot of my week at home. Most days I’m only on campus for a few hours at a time, and I’m free all day on Saturdays. I do have an occasional longer class day, but even then I’m able to plan around your pet’s schedule. A lot of my schoolwork is done on my laptop, so when I’m pet sitting I’m happy to study and do my work from your home, which means I can spend plenty of time with your pet throughout the day. I also usually go to a local gym for about an hour and a half in the evening, but otherwise I’m around and can be pretty flexible. I’ll follow whatever routine you already have for your pet so they can stay as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’m active and in good shape, so I’m more than happy to take dogs on long walks or give them as much exercise as they’re used to. I can handle feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, litter boxes, and whatever else is part of their normal routine. I’m also completely comfortable sleeping with your pets if that’s what they’re used to, or giving them their own space so it’s really whatever you and your pet are most comfortable with. I’m happy to send pictures and updates too so you know they’re doing well.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Holtsville
Elena was a great sitter for my cat Domino. She kept me informed of every visit and sent me pictures of Domino with every update. Poor Domino is a bit shy, so he didn’t come out much, but I know he appreciated having someone nice come over to feed him and take care of him while I was away. Elena left the apartment cleaner than when I left. Highly recommended!
Amanda took amazing care of all of my animals. I am so grateful that she treated them as if they were her own. Nothing eased my mind better than knowing this while away in another country. Daily updates & photos were eagerly awaited by my daughter, especially. We highly recommend her for watching your fur babies.
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.
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 Pet Sitting in Holtsville is $27 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. 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 October 2026, there are 3,341 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Holtsville. 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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Holtsville. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
