“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!”
“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!”
“Avary was unbelievably kind, thoughtful, and considerate when caring for my spoiled Pomeranian and staying at my apartment! She was transparent and provided frequent updates without being prompted and soothed this anxious dog mom’s nerves :) She was thorough in following instructions and went above and beyond on her last day taking care of my dog and apartment. Gem of a human and I’m beyond grateful to have picked Avary as our sitter!”
“Kaily was amazing - she took care of my two cats Fredo and Frida overnight for a few days. Prior to staying, she really took the time to get to know both my cats -- and reassure me. I found her to be calm, patient, and sweet. Kaily asked great questions, played with my cats, sent me multiple photos and updates every day, plus took super care of my home. By the end of her stay, my more standoffish cat came around, and looks like they all became good friends. It was so comforting to me to meet her and read all those daily summaries. She is a dream kitty/house sitter! I plan to rebook her in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Kristen took great care of our 18 month old labradoodle for 10 days. On our initial meeting, my wife and I loved his easy-going but responsible attitude and our girl took to him right away without any hesitation. A big bonus was Kristen's proximity to Prospect Park. We received lots of photos during her stay and Kristen was super fast replying to any questions we had. Kristen is definitely going to be our go-to sitter on our nights out and when we're out of town.”
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. It is important you are available for a meet and greet before contacting me. It is necessary to assess if I am the right match for your pet. They have to be comfortable in a crate and being handled like having a collar placed on them and their paws cleaned. I treat other pets with much more caution and attention.
“One word to describe Heather is WONDERFUL! She showed not on time but early which was wonderful her sweet caring demeanor was just what my puppy Ginger needed I will definitely will be booking her again. She comes highly reccomendded.”
“Jennifer is the kindest, most thorough, professional, and attentive pet sitter we've ever had. Our fur-baby loved her and we will definitely book with her again. Thank you, Jennifer!”
“Natalie is a repeat house and cat sitter for us—she's reliable, a great communicator, and our temperamental cat, Cal is always comfortable with her. Will book again!”
About: I’ve taken diligent care of my own car and my brothers dog when he is in need of a sitter. I will make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and safe! I have availability on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. My work schedule is flexible, so if there's ever an emergency or a pet needs extra attention, I'm able to adjust my hours to accommodate. I provide individualized care tailored to each pet's needs and routine. In your home, I'll follow your instructions closely, whether that's feeding schedules, medication, or specific walk routines, so your pet's day stays as normal as possible. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort throughout each visit, and I'm quick to take action if something seems off, whether that means reaching out to you or contacting a vet. I also make sure your home is left secure and tidy, doors locked, food and water put away properly, and everything as I found it.
About: Ive always loved animals since I was a little girl. I had a dog when I was younger. She was a husky-samoyed mix; high energy and extremely loving! I currently have 2 cats - a British Shorthair and a Maine Coon! Any opportunity to spend more time with dogs or cats is a win! :) I have a remote job, so I have time before or after working hours, and even during the midday if you’re close to my location. Im protective with other peoples pets and am more than happy to make any accommodations that you feel would be necessary for a safe environment.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16 so for about the last 8-9 years. From my own dog at home to my sister’s dogs and family members dogs. I’ve watched two of the same breed of dogs for the last three years on different occasions. From training them to do tricks to taking care of a dog when she’s in heating. I’m currently a full-time student in college, but my schedule is so spread out since it’s my last semester that I’m really only in school like two days a week and it’s in the morning. I’d like to take the dogs on daily walks before I go to school between 7 AM and 9 AM. I will return home between 3:30 PM and 4:30 p.m. Second walk when I get home from school probably go play in the park for an hour while I exercise come back in and find a walk after dinner before bed. Also, they would eat breakfast when I eat breakfast before I leave for school or I’d put the breakfast out before I leave for school. I live alone. I do have closed off areas in my home that are specific for pet stuff. Have a crate in the living room on a rug and a bag of toys for the dogs on top of the crate. I also have a spare room that’s big enough for most humans let alone dogs to just chill in there. Specific area where the food would go with a spot for wee wee pads or for holding the leash to go outside.
“Josefa is reliable, caring, attentive to detail, and a clean/organized person ❤️ I couldn’t be more happier with her sitting my cats. Hands down would love to trust her with Bella & Yuki again, Josefa! ❤️”
“Fernando is amazing!! I have a large rescue mastiff mix who is a handful and can be reactive so I am always nervous trying to find new people to look after him but Fernando is great with him on walks and for drop in visits. He respects his boundaries and is able to handle any reactivity he has on walks. Recently Fernando watched him when I went away for a few days and I could tell Bubba was tired and happy when I got back. I will continue to make Fernando my go to dog walker and dog sitter in the neighborhood and I am so happy I found him”

Cecilia was so awesome! She was attentive and diligent with all the care instructions. She sent updates with pics each day and my cat clearly loved her. I came home to an extremely clean and tidy home and a very happy kitty. Highly recommend Cecilia to care for your pets!
June was such a pleasure to work with! They had amazing attention to detail for my new kitten and my eight year-old dog. I am still integrating the two of them together and my kitten eats four times a day and needs a lot of attention. June did a great job writing everything down and communicating with me throughout the trip, I will definitely hire them again!
Sadie was so wonderful with our kitty, she sent us tons of pictures and updates and was extremely flexible when our flights were canceled and we asked her to stay an extra night! Our cat loved her and we will definitely use her again in the future! Thank you Sadie!!!!
Kristian was amazing! She was very responsive and kind and kept us up to date daily on how our dogs were doing and any concerns. I’m always really nervous about leaving my senior dog, but Kristian made me feel really at peace while I was gone. The pups were perfectly happy and healthy while I was gone
Christina was amazing! She took wonderful care of both our dogs and cats. She was extremely responsive, kept us updated, and sent lots of pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets!
Greg was great with Knuckles! He was very communicative, sent lots of updates and photos, and was attentive to all of his care instructions. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing Knuckles was in good hands while I was away. Would definitely book with Greg again!
Travelling without my dog Loretta is stressful, but knowing Brenda is taking care of her gives me more peace of mind. For the past year Brenda has cared for Loretta with house sitting. When Loretta sees Brenda she gets very happy. Brenda is very responsible respectful and provides daily updates and pictures. She is very communicative and I am grateful she is Lorettas dog sitter. 🙏🤲
Kachi is absolutely fantastic. She took such good care of our girl, provided a daily picture, and gave very thorough updates throughout our trip. She also took great care of our apartment while we were gone - we returned to a spotless apartment! I couldn’t recommend her more to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and intentional to take care of their pets.

The average cost of House Sitting in Bensonhurst is $60 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $89 per night.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
