“Elizabeth helped us out when our usual dog sitters weren’t available on a holiday! She was really flexible and kept us informed of how our pups were doing on each of her visits!”
“Kathleen was great to trust with my two pets while I was away! My dog is not always thrilled about new people, but she was very patient with him and even got a kiss from him. Will definitely rebook!”
“Amber is so wonderful with our Chesapeake bay retriever who can be stubborn at times but he absolutely loves her. She always sends a picture and an update of how he did on the check in. She has been so helpful and puts our mind at ease that we know he’s being taken care of so well 😊”
About: I have been house & pet sitting since I was a young teenager. I take pride in being responsible and leaving things better than I found them. I am comfortable with all ages of dogs & cats, and I have provided special care to senior dogs who needed home cooked meals & medication. I am comfortable administering various types of medications, or caring for animals with special needs. I work full time during school hours, but I am available in the afternoon, evening, & weekends for dog walks & pet sitting. I will still watch pets during the week if I’m working, and I am willing stay at the owner’s home with planning & discussion. It works very well for me to care for animals in their home. I notice that animals feel more comfortable staying in their space. I value keeping someone’s home clean while they are away.
“Alexis was very attentive to our 3 cats. We will definitely book her again. Our cats range from young to old and they all loved her. She’s responsible and trustworthy.”
“As always, Colleen was great. Daily visits and photos to show how well my cat was being treated. Additionally, she took the job over the holidays when I really needed to go out of town for a family matter and I didn't know if I would be able to get a cat sitter. She's the best!”
About: I have dog sat for the past ten years. During that time I have bottle fed puppies, administered medications and cared for a senior dog who had ALS. I currently work freelance remotely so I am available anytime during the week to look after your fur babies and I love to go on long walks so they will get plenty of exercise. I am a person who is big on personal space and would never want someone to feel uncomfortable in their own home. So, I would make sure that your home is the same way that you left it.
“The best sitter we could ask for. Our cat, Bruce, was sick while we were out of town and Bethany went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and had everything he needed to feel better. An angel.”
“Sophia was great! She came over to meet my cat before I left for my trip and to understand everything I needed done while away. She gave updates each stop in and some pictures too. 10/10!”
“Jade was amazing while my husband and I were away. She was very flexible with some of our scheduling issues and her communication was outstanding. There was a bad storm that came through and she was still able to check on our little ones with the power being out. Very thankful for her while we were away.”
“We hope that Danielle can continue to help us out with our dog. She was very responsive to our inquiries and made our first time using Rover a breeze. She took great care of our dog and we felt at ease going away for the weekend knowing Danielle was watching our pup!!”
About: I have always had pets since childhood and adore all kinds, even exotics! I have 3 years of veterinary medicine experience and I am comfortable with temperaments, body language, senior pet care, wound care and medication administration. I am able to stop in to care for pets before and after work as well as more frequently depending on distance. I will hangout for a little to make our friend feel a little less lonely if you’re on a trip! I ensure that all items are out of reach and that all medication and food are given (plus some treats!). Making the pet comfortable and happy is my goal!
About: I’ve taken care of several pets my whole life! I truly enjoy dealing with all kinds of breeds and ages for both dogs and cats. También hablo español! I am a full time student and also work part time during the weekends . My available days are Monday to Thursday in the afternoon to late evenings. I’m open to discuss any time frame that works for you! I will do my best to make sure to understand your pet needs. Being aware of surroundings, understanding walking routes, behavior management, and any other instructions requested by the owner.
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!
“Rachel was wonderful. My dogs were excited every time she visited. She left copious notes on what they were up to. She cleaned up any messes they made and kept them happy, healthy and safe.”
“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.”
“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 :)”
About: I am experienced in animal rescue, and therefore am familiar with all aspects from the routine, to special care for extremely young dogs, special medical, grooming or behavioral needs. I am comfortable with Dogs, Cats, Rodents, Aquatic, Reptiles, Farm Animals, etc. Just reach out and ask if you have a need you don't see listed! I am currently self-employed, so I can work and care for your animals flexibly. Please reach out and let me know your details and scheduling needs! I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to be companions to your pet. Or, if your pet is solitary, I can provide their own space to relax while you're away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 2,299 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Holtwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Holtwood. On Rover:
- 95% 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.
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.
