About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs. I have babysat and walked friends and family’s pets, and have always had a connection with animals. I am attentive, reliable, caring, and i’m committed to keeping your dog safe, happy, and exercised. I am so excited to spend some time with your babies! I have an open schedule. I am available from Monday-Sunday from 12-8, and can make up to two visits a day. Please message me at least a day beforehand, thank you! I will not be keeping pets at my house or stay overnight at a clients, but I will ask that you let me know of your pets medical needs, emergency contacts, vet info, etc so I can insure their safety as well as mine. And please let me know of any habits or interests of your pets! thank you!
About: Hi! I'm Janis—a college student on summer break, excited to meet your pet(s)! I’ve been caring for all kinds of animals since I was young—dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish—you name it! Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs— from energetic puppies to senior dogs, as well as large breeds like Pit Bulls, Samoyeds, and Labradors. I am open to making exceptions for some large breeds depending on their behavior and after a meet-and-greet. I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I gained experience walking and handling anxious dogs. My experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant has given me strong familiarity with handling medications, special diets, and injury care. I’m highly attentive, detail-oriented, and comfortable following specific care instructions to ensure your pet’s safety and well-being. I’m very responsive and make sure pet parents always feel connected by sending frequent photo and video updates. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and bond with them through the activities they enjoy most. I’m currently on summer break, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m able to spend most of the day with them, with exceptions for errands, but they will never be left alone, as I live with family. I provide at least 2–3 walks or potty breaks per day, and I’m happy to adjust based on your pet’s needs and routine. I also accept last-minute bookings whenever possible! I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication at all times. I live in a house with a fenced front yard, but your pet will always be supervised when outside. During walks, I try to avoid streets with a lot of traffic to help pets feel secure, especially in new environments. I always pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I live with my family, so pets will never be left alone if I had to run out, and I always communicate this clearly with owners ahead of time. I currently don’t have other pets in my Brooklyn home aside from fish, which allows me to give your pet my full attention. I can also follow instructions like crating or separating pets if needed.
About: I grew up with dogs of all kinds (German shepard, Pekinese, chihuahuas, Pomeranians, golden retrievers) and have always looked after family and friends dogs while away since elementary school! I have two dogs of my own! I am currently working part time as a medical assistant in outpatient psychiatry. On my days off, I love hanging out with my dogs, teaching them new tricks, long walks along the shore, going to parks and going on runs together! I have a private home with two friendly malteses who are always looking for new friends! I’m also a nursing student and love to do my research on pet nutrition (macros/micros) and am always looking for healthy alternatives for my pets and I!
“Aleksander is a life saver. He made himself available with very short notice to drop in on my cat while I was out of town. He is friendly and conscientious.”
About: NOTE: I charge $60 as my flat fee for 6 hours of homestays. After that I charge an extra $5 for each hour per dog. (this is negotiable for repeat clients). I am usually unavailable Tues/Thurs evenings after 6pm. I also only do overnight stays for repeat clients. Hi! I've been around both dogs and cats my whole life and have been a primary caretaker of everything from puppies and kittens to senior pets to pets with special needs. My own two cats can attest that I'm ready and willing to do everything I can to give them a good life. I'm energetic and dependable, I'm also strong so your big dog won't get a leg up on me! You can rely on me to bathe, walk, feed, give medication, or even just some extra love to your pet! I'm also good with boundaries, (important for cats especially) and have worked with breeds from toy Morkie's to giant Shepards! I’m a freelancer, so my schedule changes often, but I am usually free except for Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Those are usually reserved. I only do walks within a 20 minute train ride, but will do sittings all over the city! (Note: I charge a 10% cancellation fee if cancelled within 24 hrs of service) I am respectful of all wishes when it comes to drop-in visits and your home, and keep to common areas, I'm also willing and in fact, encourage picture updates of your pet's care (and to reassure you if you have anxiety over leaving your pet with a stranger like I sometimes do). As for walks, there are no headphones or any other distractions to me when I walk your pet. I stay along well lit streets, and aware of your dogs needs at all times.
“Lucy is so sweet, and responsible! Highly recommend. This was our first time retaining a pet sitter and I was very nervous. She made me feel at ease and our kitty was happy <3”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since 15. I gained all of my experience that I have today through taking care of neighbors, friends, colleagues, and family’s pets. I am a loving, kind, caring, and patient person. I learned so much from caring for animals, that I adore them so much! Also additional, I have experience with puppies, kittens, and senior pets. I’m currently a college student, my classes are held online. Which gives me plenty of time to spend with the doggies. My weekends are busy but I can do mornings only. Because the weekends are the only days I have to finish my college work. I care for my clients pets like if they were my own. I make sure to make my clients pets feel as comfortable and safe as possible, like if they were in their own home. I love taking my time to get to know my clients pets because each pet has their own personality! I also make sure to follow any rules or meal plans that my clients leave for their pets.
“Andy always takes such good care of my cat! Very attentive and reliable. My cat required oral medication and topical ointment application and took well to Andy's care.”
“Barbara was fantastic as a sitter! She took great care of my girl and was very communicative which I had appreciated. She also was super understanding on an error I made in timing and worked with me to still make it work! I will definitely be hiring her again.”
About: I've grown up all my life around animals. Especially dogs. I will spoil your furry babies with affection and attention. And will send picture updates if you want them! I work full time from home so I will have plenty of time for bathroom breaks, play breaks, and cuddles! I honestly think having them at home with me is more for my sanity LOL I live in a 2 family home. I don't have a yard but I do give free roam of the whole house and I allow pets on furniture. No matter what kind of pet it is I will give plenty of attention and love.
“We had a wonderful experience with Tia and would absolutely book with her again. From the start, she was incredibly responsive and communicative, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. She clearly genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and it really showed in how attentive and thoughtful she was with our cat. We especially appreciated the regular updates and photos—she kept us well-informed and reassured the whole time. It was clear our cat was comfortable and well cared for, which means everything to us. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“Tracy took care of my rabbits when my family was having an emergeny and I couldnt have asked for someone more perfect for the job to look after them while we were away even without meeting us last minute. She had no problems with getting access to our home and kept in touch througout the whole visit reassuring me and my gf that our pets are in good hands. Highly recommend 👌”

“Sidnie was absolutely amazing with Jack. He is a senior dog and she gave him extra time and love every visit. She saw to his every need, going above and beyond every day, and she was superb at providing updates. We will rebook with Sidnie for our next trip - thank you for the excellent service, Sidnie!!”
“Natalya took care of our cat while we were away for a long weekend. From my first interaction with Natalya, she was warm, responsive and responsible. Every interaction thereafter confirmed these impressions. Our cat took to her immediately when she first came in for an introduction - not something he does easily with most people (usually just hides). While we were away, Natalya sent photos and updates during her drop in visits. She definitely put our mind at ease that our cat was in good hands and being taken care of. I highly recommend Natalya and would not hesitate to use her services again.”
About: Hello, my name is Tyler, and I’ve been a pet owner to my dogs pinky and fendi for the past 14 years. I have also taken care of the dogs of my family and friends, and always make sure that they feel comfortable in their environment. All pets are family to me, and feel comfortable in my care. Looking forward to meeting your fluffy friends! I am currently working in a school, but get out at 3 everyday. So I will be ready to walk your pet for evenings and on weekends. When a pet comes into my home, I try to make them feel as comfortable as possible. When in a clients home, I try to keep them in their regular routine, and make sure that whatever is asked by the owner is completed without fail.
About: I bring nine years of dedicated pet-care experience, primarily with my Siberian Husky, a breed known for its intelligence, energy, and unique behavioral needs. My background also includes occasional care for cats, giving me a well-rounded understanding of feline routines and temperaments. Whether it’s exercise, enrichment, or calm companionship, I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care for every pet. I have flexible hours during the warmer months and love getting outside with my energetic Siberian Husky for regular walks and grooming. I can accept one-time bookings easily, though reoccurring schedules for walking should be discussed in advance since my availability may be limited. During November through April, walking services are more weather-dependent and may not always be open. Your dog is welcomed into a calm, dog-friendly home where they will have attention, companionship, and structure. Crate-comfort for short periods is important, especially for pups who may get anxious when left alone for quick errands. Day sitting is available for a minimum of 7 hours within a 14-16 hour day (pet needs to do well 8 hours overnight), with a maximum 3-hour break for other tasks; usually in the morning (this also applies to boarding). Overnight stays are generally limited to once every 3 booked days. I remain mindful of each pet’s boundaries and training. Please provide a clear list of your expectations for each home visit. • Furniture rules will match what they’re used to at home • Resource guarding or aggression cannot be accommodated for everyone’s safety My philosophy is simple: a dog should feel respected, understood, and appreciated every step of the way. ❤️

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Bensonhurst
Megan was an excellent caretaker for our special needs kitty. Our cat needs multiple medications a day with special applications, and Megan executed all doses with ease. She went above and beyond and sent multiple photos during every visit. It was clear that by the end she really bonded with our cat and made him feel safe. This was our first time leaving our cat since we received his diagnosis, so we were nervous to leave him. Megan’s support and attentiveness put us at ease. We will definitely be booking her again! 🙂
Tracy is a wonderful sitter ,she took care of my senior cat Little P like it was her own. My cat requires medication twice daily and she was right on it with updates on her eating and photos. My flight was cancelled on the day I was supposed to return and I texted Tracy and no problem extending by 2 visits. Tracy is a sitter I would request again and recommend her highly,she is the best!
Jennifer was the absolute best. One of our cats required liquid oral medication, but is very feisty - Jennifer did a fantastic job of administering it daily, alleviating our greatest concern on vacation and keeping our cat healthy. Her detailed notes, pictures, communication and professionalism were all top notch. We'd recommend her to anyone!
Molly was spectacular! Our Oscar and Henry immediately loved on her from day 1 which was amazing! They got all the love from Molly while we were away and we got great photos of them that made us smile everyday. We came back home to very happy boys and a lovely illustration of them. Thank you Molly!
This is the second time we’ve booked with Gabriella. She is so attentive and caring with our pet. She is prompt, sends lots of pictures and communicates everything to us. She has worked hard to make our cat comfortable and spent lots of time playing with her! I definitely recommend booking with Gabriella :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Bensonhurst on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 12,065 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Bensonhurst. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
