“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!”
“Dave was amazing! We would work with him again in a heartbeat. We had a tough situation where we needed to change our original Rover sitter (on an 11 day trip) within a couple hours of the original booking beginning. I reached out to Dave and he met our two dogs and was able to jump into the sit with less than 24 hours notice. From his communication and photos I was reassured every day that the dogs and home were in great hands.”
“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!!”
“Janelle hung out with Sophie for an overnight weekend stay, everything went smoothly! Punctual, communicative, easy to confirm our booking request, and adored by our pup. Highly recommend Janelle for all your pup services, she’s our go-to Sophie sitter! 🐾”
“Requested Avary the day before and was immediately reached out to, to confirm the booking and get familiar with our puppy. Avary proceeded to communicate ETA, sending pics on arrival and kept me up to date on the good potty moments and the bad. Will definitely be rebooking and recommend Avary without any hesitation to anyone who needs a sitter!”
“Meka was such a professional and was wonderful with Myka (65-pound pit mix). Meka stayed overnight with her over July 4th, and had such a helpful calming presence for Myka, who hates fireworks. We hope to have Meka sit for us again soon!”
“Jennifer did a fantastic job looking after our 2 dogs for a few days. She took excellent care of them and was very communicative, sending us lots of updates and photos throughout her stay. And she went the extra mile to keep our home tidy during her stay. We are thrilled to have found her and will definitely book her again.”
“Desiree is a thoughtful and conscientious sitter. She stayed over and cared for my older cat and emo dog. She sent regular updates which gave me confidence while I was gone. Five stars. Highly recommend.”
“Greg house sat/dog sat for us when we left on a 4 day trip and he took such good care of our dog! He gave nightly updates and was more than amenable to our needs! I will be booking with Greg from here on out.”
“Sapphire took great care of my pup Lilly while I was out of town for a long weekend! My regular sitter was sick, so I reached out with short notice right before a holiday, and Sapphire made it work! She was very responsive and communicative throughout, replying quickly to questions and making sure to check in about little things like feeding and departure time. She also took great care of the apartment and left everything tidy and neat. Thanks Sapphire, I will definitely be in touch when Lilly needs a sitter again!”
“Second time having Alexandra over to watch our puppy boy and our opinion hasn’t changed – five stars! She responded right away when we were in a pinch, was on time, and followed all our instructions to a T. Definitely always recommend her.”
About: I’ve spent the past 8 years caring for my dog, Dulce, so taking care of a pet has been a big part of my everyday life. I have experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure she’s safe and comfortable. I also live with my girlfriend and her cat, so I’m used to being around and caring for both dogs and cats. Living with them has taught me how different every pet can be and how important patience, attention, and routine are. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give the pets in my own home. I’m currently available throughout the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available Monday through Friday for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, as well as drop-in visits. I can also be flexible with scheduling depending on you and your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding walks, feeding, routines, and behavior. I’ll keep your dog securely leashed during walks, stay aware of our surroundings, and give them plenty of attention and care. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: Currently have 2 family dogs so I am comfortable with animals and will provide meticulous care for your loved one and home until you return Plenty of availability during weekdays and will do overnight if need be! We can figure out a good time for you based on what fits my schedule! I often play and baby my dogs and want to show tons of love to them! I do the same for other pets I interact with as well!
About: I have over five years of experience caring for cats and I’m also a full time cat owner with four cats of my own. Having multiple cats has taught me how different personalities, routines, and comfort levels can be. I’m experienced with playful cats, shy cats, and more independent ones, and I understand how important patience and consistency are. Friends and family regularly trust me to care for their cats when they’re away and I always treat every cat like one of my own. I’m a college student, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and I can reliably plan my time around your cat’s routine and needs. I take safety and trust very seriously, especially when caring for someone else’s pet and home. I carefully follow all instructions, including feeding schedules, litter box care, medications, and any special routines. I’m very mindful about keeping doors and windows secure, maintaining a clean and calm environment, and respecting your home. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.
“Rachelle is literally the best. Her experience with senior dogs was so helpful when caring for my 14 yr old Dachshund mix. Amazing communication and incredibly friendly. I will 10/10 recommend her to friends with cats or dogs in the future!!”
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.
“Teddy was fantastic with our new puppy!! Our puppy loved them and they sent tons of photos/videos during the day. They are also great with training tips and our puppy made great progress in her training while with Teddy! We felt at ease with Teddy being in our home and will absolutely use them again for pet sitting.”

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!
Vibe check passed immediately 🐶 Adriana is thoughtful, present and exceeded expectations. Within 15 mins after entrusting her with our dog, she sent photo updates. She even did her own dishes (even though she could have used dishwasher). When we got back home, we could tell our dog was relaxed and happy with Adriana - highly recommend and we will def be asking her to sit for us again
Onyekachi looked after my very senior, and sprightly cat for 2.5 weeks and I can’t recommend her care enough. When she first came to meet the pets she took copious notes on their care and was so patient and caring during her stay in my home with my pup who needs medication, and was having an upset tummy. Everyday I received a really thorough update and pictures of the both of them and I felt so confident and comfortable leaving them in her care. I truly appreciate her patience and kindness with my little cuties and anyone would be so lucky to have her tending to their pets. Would be thrilled to have her back looking after them and your pets would be in such good hands with Kachi.
Jennifer stayed over our apartment to keep our cat Brisket company while we were on vacation for the week. She sent photos everyday and the apartment was immaculate when we got back! She even turned our cat cam on (which I totally forgot to mention) so we were able to watch him before we arrived back in NYC. All food, treat, litter notes were followed too :)
jaidi has a soothing and calming demeanor that meshed really well with our three cats, two of whom can be a little anxious and sensitive. two of our cats were currently being separated for some behavioral training, meaning there would need to be a little extra care and attention paid to them. she made sure the cats were swapped between the bedroom and living room to avoid feeling trapped in a small space for too long. bobbie can take a while to warm up to new people, but she seemed to take to jaidi rather quickly. towards the end of her stay, bobbie climbed onto her back which she only does with my partner (bobbie was originally adopted by my partner before we moved in together) and rarely with me. bobbie even went up on a vertical hammock for the first time since we installed it about 2 weeks ago. throughout our vacation, we got the cutest and most precious photo updates that made me feel like they were in the best hands and we had absolutely nothing to worry about. all to say, she worked her magic with our cats and they seemed to have a good time together. we will definitely be going to jaidi for all our future catsitting needs <3
Isabel did an amazing job looking after my two little pups!!! She went above and beyond to keep my dogs happy, healthy, and clean. She also did a fabulous job looking after my home while I was away on a trip. She kept me updated regularly, even late in the night when my dog threw up. Quick to respond, very kind, and perfectly professional. I will absolutely book her again if I can :)
Dave has been an absolute godsend for my pup. He’s completed three house sittings so far and I look forward to booking him again soon. An excellent communicator and wonderful pet sitter who left my apartment spotless and my dog happier than ever. Highly recommend!
Megan was fantastic! She accommodated a last-minute request, which we really appreciated. My dog took to her immediately - it was like he’d known her for years. Throughout the visit she kept us in the loop with tons of photo updates, which we loved. My pup is high-energy Australian Shepherd, and Megan kept him entertained with lots of fetch to help burn off his energy. You could tell he had a blast with her. We’ll definitely be booking with Megan again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bensonhurst on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 18,991 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
