“Greg was such a great sitter for our dog Vera. He was incredibly detailed and communicative, left our place spotless. Most importantly he was a very thoughtful and attentive friend to Vera who can often be quite anxious. She seemed to really enjoy his company and received many cuddles. Thank you Greg!”
“Dave dog sat for us and he was incredibly attentive and wonderful with our dogs, they loved him! He left our house just as clean if not better after he left. We are usually nervous to use someone new, but will 1000% use Dave to dog sit again!”
“Megan was wonderful with my dog! She was very communicative, timely, and took great care of my guy who is recovering from a back injury. Highly recommend her!”
“Jaidi is a fantastic sitter! She has a very calm and warm personality and is very skilled in communicating with your canine. She was extremely responsive and professional, and is absolutely the best person you could have watch your dog and home.”
“Meka was a delightful house sitter! Our pup Liza had a great time with her, and her frequent updates helped calm our nerves as we left Liza home for the first time. She was prompt, responded quickly, and left the apartment in spotless shape! Highly recommend!”
“Stephanie is the BEST! This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone long term, and she made me feel so at ease, sending me lots of updates. My dog was so calm and comfortable with her from the start. And he was recovering from a medical treatment, so she took extra special care of him, giving him his medicine and keeping him calm. I would definitely recommend her, and we can't wait to have her stay again! Thanks Stephanie!”
“Janelle has been watching our dogs on-and-off for many years. She is so great with them, and they are not easy dogs. She is also super responsible and communicative; we trust Janelle to handle anything that comes up with the dogs or the house.”
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.
“Meaghan spent the day with our two dogs and she was so kind and responsive. Sent pictures and kept us updated, even helped with a little accident. Would definitely rebook!”
“Michelle dog sat my pup Ozzie for the night. He was immediately so comfortable with her and not as anxious as usual. She is great and communicated very well. I would highly recommend Michelle.”
“Teddy was awesome - we got phenomenal daily recaps and frequent communication. We felt super comfortable with Teddy and our pets (including a very unfriendly cat) were thrilled!”
“Ashanti stepped up in a major way to take care of our 12 yr old dog after she got unexpectedly bitten by a dog the night before our trip! She was very communicative and worked with my sister to follow the vet’s recommendations, including administering medications, and helped nurse our pup back to health. She also did a great job caring for our cat and our home. Thank you, Ashanti!!”
“Rachelle is the absolute best! She treats our two cats (one who is 19 years old and a very finicky eater) and our space as if it was her own. We've never had a cat/house sitter who showed so much care and attention to every detail and communicated so thoughtfully and consistently. We truly feel at ease when she is with our girls in our home!”
“Another amazing stay! So happy to have Jennifer back! She’s so responsible and communicative and I love all the photos she sends! My cat always looks like he’s having such a great time with her!”
“We needed a sitter for our senior/special needs dog on short notice due to a death in our family. Lucy accepted and was amazing. She kept us up to date on feedings and walks and made a horrible day bearable knowing our Joey was well taken care of.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bensonhurst
Erin took excellent care of our two cats on a last-minute request after one of them had a health issue requiring more support than our previous cat sitter was able to provide. We were so grateful to her for stepping in to help out and being so communicative the whole way. We knew the cats were in excellent hands, and she handled their (many) medications with ease. We’ll absolutely be using her again!!
Ann was incredibly sweet and diligent with our 3-month-old puppy and 10-year-old dog. She sent us numerous photo and video updates daily and was especially patient with the puppy. The only small issue we had was a misunderstanding caused by Rover's unclear guest policy. Through our pet cam — which we had informed Ann about from the start — we noticed more than three people entering the apartment. We let Ann know we weren't comfortable with guests over, and she was very understanding and quickly acknowledged our concern. The other people left shortly after, and everything was resolved smoothly. Ann handled the situation with grace, and we truly appreciated her care and responsiveness.
Dave was a fantastic house sitter! He was very communicative, left our house spotless, and sent us lots of photos while we were away. Our dog can be a bit anxious, and he was extremely understanding and worked with us to make sure she was well set up. We already have him booked for a few more upcoming trips.
Sarah was amazing! Super communicative and always kept me updated with pictures of my babies, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I have four pets, so I know it’s not an easy job, but she handled everything perfectly. 🥹🤍 10/10 experience, and I would absolutely book with her again!
Lisa house-sat for us for 12 days and watched our dog in the process. Couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Not only does she love my dog and stay in regular contact, there's essentially no trace of her left in the house once she leaves. Pure professionalism.
Alexandra was great in every way! Harper, my 10 year old lab mix, is super anxious, afraid of fireworks, thunder and meeting new people. Alexandra came to meet her several times before staying here which was a huge help. She is kind and patient and left everything spotless. I couldn't be more pleased and will definitely ask her to sit again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bensonhurst
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bensonhurst on Rover is $60.56 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 19,065 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bensonhurst. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Bensonhurst walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bensonhurst maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Bensonhurst 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
