“Lauren was a wonderful sitter. She stepped in last minute after I had a cancellation and was so stressed about finding someone. She took great care of my 3 kitties and was great with communication. I very much appreciated the picture updates and detailed notes she left for me each day. I would highly recommend her services and look forwarded to booking her in the future.”
About: I've trained (self taught) and cared for furr babies since I was 15 and have had various pets since the age of two! I specialize in caring for canines with separation anxiety and canines with vision issues. I enjoy basic command training (self taught) and giving your pup the extra love and care needed while you're unable to be with them! I’m a professional dog sitter! This is my full time career adventure! Your pup will enjoy leaded walks, controlled environmental play time, and a cozy home (mine or yours) with all the attention your pup could want or need! I do not have a fenced in yard, but your pup will be safely walked with a lead on our two-plus acre lot or on local trails! Controlled environmental play time is offered to pups who are trained to listen off lead!
“Aria was on time and communicated quickly and efficiently for both the meet & greet and her first drop in visit with my 7mo puppy. She provided a detailed update at the end of visit and included some of my new favorite photos of my dog! She’s easy to coordinate with and I’ll definitely be booking recurring visits :)”
“Mason was exceptional. She allowed me to book her literally last minute and said she could visit the pups without me home (emergency work trip). She was prompt and took great care of my pups, asking me any questions she had to best care for them. She sent me plenty of pics and the pups loved her!”
“Louis was able to help me out last minute with my elderly/special needs cats. He understood directions quickly and left things better than he found. Grateful to have the help.”
About: I love animals like they are my own! I have lived with animals and had to take care of them my entire life. Grew up with cats, Chihuahuas pitbull boxers, all kinds of different breeds. I believe life is better with animals <3 I am a college student, living on campus and miss my cat and dog! What a better way to make some extra money then being able to help some pets! I would care for any animal as if it were my own. I love playing with pets, cats or dogs doesn’t matter! I am just happy to be able to help you and your loved pet be happy and well taken care of!
About: I’ve had 2 dogs since they were both 1 years old, but I grew up on a small farm around other animals. My dogs live a very spoiled life. I currently working in an elementary school so summer month I don’t work at all so I will have plenty of time to play with and take your dogs for a walk. Also have two of my own dogs that love to run and play with other dogs. I have a big yard but no fence yet. I do have to very friendly dogs that would love to run and entertain your pups.
“Aubreigh is so kind and sweet. We were super nervous about letting someone in our house to care for our pets but she put us at ease. She had great contact with us and lives in our dogs like they were hers. She went above and beyond and I would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was born. I’m very knowledgeable about all types of pups and genuinely adore them all. My wife won’t let me have a dog yet so I would love your pet like it were my own! Please let me hangout with your dog 😇 My free time is mainly during the evenings and on the weekends while my wife is at work. So I would love to fill that time in the company of some furry friends! I abide by house rules, I am fun and playful. If permitted - I love to take them for walks and am super affectionate and loving.
About: My Dad introduced me to Rover! He cares for 13 regular clients and taught me everything I know about pet sitting. I had a dog for most of my childhood and lost him just recently, in January. I love caring for pets of all shapes and sizes with all their needs. It's great having energy in the house again! I am in school part-time on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (some Fridays) till 2pm. I work evenings as a swim instructor, so afternoon check ins and playdates are available! Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays are my big free days! I do not live alone! I'm housed by my wonderful parents who are willing to assist in whatever way (if needed). I have lots of spare time between school and work for check-ins and walks! Our house used to be home to my childhood doggy not too long ago, we still have bowls and toys they can play with! Walks are common in our neighborhood because fences are not. I have used harnesses, collars, and control collars in walks so I have experience. I will customize my care to you and your pets need, any type of feed wet or dry, any type of personality, no two pets are the same!
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats all my life. I love meeting new dogs and cats. When I am out at a park I always want to say hi as long as the owner is ok with saying hello. I am available daily for pet visits, walks and playtime. I am a full time pet sitter and available to fit your schedule or if you go on vacation. I will follow all instructions in and at your home. If you want a drop in visit I will be sure to play with them and give them lots of attention.
About: Hi, my names Madi, I am a responsible adult with experience of taking care of dogs. I fostered pit bulls for almost three years, I previously dog sat for multiple families who relied on me for every trip they went on, and I once wanted to be a dog trainer so I learned a bit about dog behaviors and dog breeds. But above all else my love and passion for all the cute dogs in the world, I just want them all to feel loved. I can promise to take care of your fur baby, give them love and attention, and even send you some pictures for updates. I love puppers of all ages, sizes, and breeds and cannot wait to meet you and your companion. I also have my own dog, a small lab mix who is about one years old named Maverick. He is my best friend and my entire world - and maybe just a little spoiled. Currently, I work from home Mondays & Wednesdays, then Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays I am gone for about 9 hours total for work and commute. Saturdays and Sundays vary a lot. If I am dog walking - I like to be sure I know any reactions the dogs may have to certain things (if they eat all the trash, if they chase squirrels, if they jump on people, if they bark at dogs, etc) to create safety for me and the dog. If they stay with me - they MUST be dog friendly and meet my dog in a non-territorial location to be sure they are friendly.
“Kathleen followed my instructions and she was very caring with Smokey. She was able to administer his medication on the first try! I highly recommend her and will keep her in mind for future pet sitting.”
About: I have 10 years of pet sitting under my belt! On top of having four dogs of my own! I am able to pet sit multiple dogs or just 1 dog! I currently work full time with a pretty consistent schedule, i also am never busy after work. The latest i am off is 5 and that’s every other Saturday. I like to know the pets everyday routine. I also prefer to watch them at my client’s home so it’s less stressful the fur babies.
About: Animals have been part of my life since I was 7 years old, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve loved and cared for 3 cats and 6 dogs of my own, giving me experience with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I began pet sitting at 16 and later expanded my experience into animal shelter and rescue work at 23, where I learned the importance of patience, trust, and compassionate care for every animal. At home, I have a sweet corgi named Sgt. Tibbs who is truly the light of my life. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, because I would want the very same for him. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away with plenty of attention, affection, and tail wags included! I currently work full time in Reading, but outside of work hours your pets will always be my top priority during their stay and care. I’m available during both weekdays and weekends, and I make it a point to give every pet plenty of love, attention, playtime, and comfort while their owners are away. I understand how important consistency, communication, and trust are when leaving your pets with someone, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for every step of the way. I believe in putting your pet’s comfort, trust, and well-being first. For that reason, I offer care in your home only, where your pets feel the safest and most comfortable. Staying in their familiar environment helps keep their routine consistent, reduces stress and anxiety, and allows them to receive loving care while still feeling at home.
About: I've had pets my entire life and life just isn't the same without them. They are family! We will treat your pets like family as well. I have my own cleaning business that is part time so I am home most of the time. My pets are only ever alone for about 4 hours max on busier days, and sometimes we are home all day! I have a great big fenced in yard that is safe for medium sized and bigger dogs. Smaller dogs would need a tie out or leash as the fence has wider openings. We have lots of space indoors as well.
About: I attended school to become a veterinary technician and now following my dream working in an amazing clinic ! I am use to working with all kinds of animals. I also offer pet sitting to many clients and friends! Pet care fits into my schedule extremely well because I am able to not only have eyes on my personal pets as they are allowed to come to work with me, but help out with other when needed! At my home my dog is able to be outside ( on a run) and enjoy his time out there! My cats stay inside as they are less sociable during the day! When In clients homes, I offer times (indoor or outdoor) to play.

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 Holtwood 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.
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 Holtwood 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Holtwood with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Holtwood. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
