“Bri was amazing! It made a very last minute booking but she did a great job of reassuring me that she would, "Take care of those babies." I wasn't able to meet her before she came but she handled my kitties like an absolute legend. Will 1000% be requesting her again. What a rock star!”
“Jacklyn is the right mix of professionalism & kindness. She took care of my young pup twice in the same day & me as well as I was nervous! She sent me lovely picks of my pup having fun & she took care of him exactly as I asked her to. I will definitely use Jacklyn again!”
“Aemelia was great. We and our puppies really enjoyed interacting with her. She was able to accommodate our last minute needs and was very cool about it. We will for sure be contacting her again and again.”
“Kylie is simply amazing. She was quick to respond and willing to help me when my usual dog sitter canceled last minute. We have an outdoor camera at my house and when I looked in, I saw her playing with my dogs in the yard the entire time she was there. It lifted a huge weight off my shoulders having her there. I appreciate her so much and definitely recommend her!”
About: The family for my last petsit said this: "[Our dog] had nothing but wonderful things to say about you, she was very happy when we got home, that means she didn't feel upset at all. Yay!!! Thank you again!! " I've cared for households with multiple pets, including cats, dogs, multiple cats, multiple dogs, and a combination of the above. I've often had people reach back out to me to sit for them again. I love to follow your instructions as closely as possible to help out your animals with the stress of owner absence. I find it important to take time to play with and sit with animals. I'm familiar with giving pets medication, whether through pill pockets, food, or other methods. If your kitties are particular about litter cleaning, I am happy to provide that more frequently as well. I work with energy and empathy in my other jobs, so I am able to bring a calm presence for animals and pay attention to their energy when caring for them. I value consent-based interaction, so I allow animals to warm up to me before petting them. I have flexible work, so I can arrange to stay with your pets or drop in at your convenience. One of my jobs works well with being at home, so I can stay put. I tend to lock doors, being familiar with city living. Integrity and trust are paramount to me, so you can trust that I will treat your home well and honor any areas you don't want me to be in. I know it's a lot to trust a stranger in your home while you are away -- I am happy to provide references and other information to make you feel safe. You know your pet best, so I pay attention to how you make sure your pets stay inside to keep it that way. I am always happy to text updates and pictures :)
“Noah was very pleasant, responsive, and great with the puppies. He is a great communicator and a very nice person. I’d recommend him very highly to look after anybody’s loved pets.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to Raven (7 female dog), and Miles (8 female cat) I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets, and I would love to provide them with the same love and attention I give my own! I work from home, so I'm able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day and provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I also have a fenced yard where dogs can safely get fresh air and exercise. My home is used to being around both animals and kids. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet needs company, playtime, walks, or just a comfortable and caring place to stay, I will treat them like part of the family!
“Heather was amazing! I feel so confident leaving our cats in her care. Not only did she do everything I asked but also played with our little one! Will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
About: I've loved and cared for dogs for most of my life, and currently have a Chihuahua mix named Chico and a cat named Frankie. I'm a good-hearted and easygoing person excited to spend my free time with some lovable pooches! Chico is an 11-year-old rescue, who loves ice cream and burying himself in blankets. Frankie is a snoozy indoor cat, but loves playing with Chico occasionally. For all of my bookings, I like to provide lots of attention to each pet, and create a comfortable environment for them. I’ve had a ton of fun with the pets I've met so far, and I would love to meet some more furry friends and owners soon! I currently work from home full time in the healthcare industry. I am looking to offer sitting services in my free time, but can likely be flexible with my schedule. Safety for all pets is my biggest priority, whether they are my own or yours. I’m open to any information that would make your pets feel more comfortable, and would love to answer any questions during a meet and greet before a service.
“Katherine was absolutely wonderful to work with and so great to our pup. We booked morning drop-ins and our girl can be a bit shy at first, but Katherine was so patients and great with her. She went above and beyond while we were away, was excellent at communicating and sending pics of our Cali girl. We can’t recommend Katherine enough!!”
“Ace was super gentle and patient with my anxious shy guy! He took a liking to Ace quickly— not the norm for my dog. Ace was communicative and took great pics of my boy. Thank you Ace!! Will 100% book again soon ☺️”
About: It’s so hard to be away from your pup but having friends come in to visit and play makes the day feel not so long. I have had dogs my whole life. I just love their individual personalities. I typically work Monday through Friday and can pop in for an early morning visit and breakfast or stop by for a longer visit and dinner after work. My schedule is flexible so running over midway is possible if necessary. Weekends are generally wide open. I would like to work with you to meet your needs. I have 2 pups and 3 cats at home that love extra attention, playing and quiet snuggles. Nice long walks or a trip to the dog park could be a fun adventure. For cats, some scratches along the jaw line or kitty fishing can be an engaging way to interact.
“Erin was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my cat, Tinky, and my elderly Chihuahua, Sasha, for five days while I was away in Puerto Rico. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. She was incredibly kind, patient, and gentle with Sasha, making sure my senior pup was comfortable and well cared for. She also handled Tinky's persistent attempts to convince her to let him outside with so much patience and good humor! Eryn went above and beyond, and it was clear she genuinely cared about both of my pets. I came home to two happy, well-loved animals, and I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. I highly recommend Eryn to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable. Thank you so much, Eryn! We will hope to use her again and again .”
“My shy cats warmed up to Hallie very quickly. The updates were informative and the pictures let know they were happy in her care while I was away. I will absolutely reach out to Hallie when I go on my next trip.”

“Robin is so excellent with our fur babies. We really have lucked out and found an amazing pet sitter in Robin. She is organized and communicative, letting us know if any changes need to be made to the scheduling and reaching out in advance to confirm the details. The report cards she generates are thoughtful and help me to know what is going on. I never feel worried when I go out of town knowing Robin will be there for my three cats! Above and beyond, would absolutely recommend.”
“Rachel has been such an amazing help with our two cats, especially now that our senior cats requires daily pills. It’s such relief to know that when we go away we know for sure he will get his medications with Rachel. I’d highly recommend her, and will definitely be booking with her again as needed!”

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Holyoke on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,662 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Holyoke. 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 Holyoke 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.

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.
