“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!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Avary. From the second we connected until we parted ways, Avary stood out as exemplary. Communication was beyond what could be expected, and the thoughtfulness, care, consideration, respect… are just a few words that now come to mind thinking about this experience. I’ve never met anyone — especially through Rover — who had seemingly gone above and beyond to match an existing routine. The true tell was that my dog was willing to take Avary on our USUAL hour-long night walk; something he highly protects. It was so clear that he was completely comfortable after less than a day and was happy to be able to stick to his pretty standard routine because of how well Avary learned and stuck to it too. Would 100% ask back again (and will)!!!”
“as always Dave is an extra attentive to my two pups. He’s very reliable and he makes it easy to trust him that my two precious angels. He is also an excellent house guest and always leaves the apartment cleaner than I left it. 100% recommend him!”
“It was my first time using Rover for my cat and Jaidi was phenomenal! She was super communicative the whole time, sent a bunch of photos, and it was clear that my cat adored her and was so well taken care of. I came home to a spotless apartment and a very happy cat. I’ll definitely be using her for any future pet sitting needs.”
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!
“Travis did an excellent job taking care of Maude while we were out of town. He sent videos and pictures, and it was clear he really enjoyed looking after her! This brought us so much peace of mind. Thank you Travis!”
“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! 🐾”
“Greg provided the absolute best animal care that we have ever had! We recently moved into a new house and needed to take a trip to visit family. I was very nervous about finding someone to care for our dog, and really wanted to find someone who was open to staying at our home. Greg had glowing reviews on Rover, and luckily was avail”
“Jenn took amazing care of our little Fig. We are so grateful to have had such a trustworthy, responsible and communicative caretaker to give us true peace of mind while we were away. Would definitely love to use her services again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Amanda took great care of my dog while I was out of town. She was always prompt in responding to messages and sent pictures of my dog and updates to let me know how she was doing.”
“Teddy was awesome. Stepped in last minute to save the day when my initial home sit plans fell through and worked around some existing obligations to make it happen. Draco had some special needs and doesn't always take to new people easily, but Teddy was up to the challenge. I got plentiful, cute (and poetic!) updates throughout, and my grumpy, senior, disabled pup seemed to be calm and comfortable the whole time. I came back to a clean home and happy pup - would happily hire Teddy again.”
“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!”
“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.”

“Em watched Buster for a few days and we could tell he was is good hands while we were away. We appreciated the updates and pictures each day. We will definitely ask Em to watch Buster again!”
“Jennifer always goes above and beyond in caring for my cat and my home! She sends photos and communicates regularly and is a thoughtful, considerate, responsive, and responsible professional! I love having her and my cat does too!”
“From the start, Rachelle was top-notch! She was communicative, thorough, warm, and professional. She stayed with our 2 cats (one senior) over the long Labor Day weekend and sent daily messages and pictures. She was prompt in responding to my messages and any questions I had. Our senior girl can be finicky about eating and guests, but she seemed to warm to Rachelle very quickly. We returned to happy cats and an apartment that looked just like we left it! I would happily have Rachelle stay with our girls anytime!”

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!
We couldn’t have asked for a better Rover sitter! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, sending regular updates and making us feel completely at ease. It honestly seemed like Winnie had the best time with her—I’m not even sure she missed us! She was also so respectful of our apartment. It’s such a relief to come home to a happy pup and a home that’s just as clean as we left it. We would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Winnie!
Jade was the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. She clearly adores cats and took time to get to know them, and even help socialize them! We had just got a 6 month old kitten and she was amazing with her and with our older resident cat! I will absolutely book her again. She’s a gem!
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!
Stephanie took care of my 65 pound pitbull, and left our apartment exactly as when we left for vacation. She provided regular updates and was extremely flexible, friendly, and helpful. My dog can be anxious, but I could tell she warmed up to Stephanie after a few days. I would recommend Stephanie to a friend and/or utilize her services again!
Greg did a wonderful job with our Turtle during our weekend getaway. Turtle more anxious pup. Greg provided me with regular updates which made my trip more relaxed. When we back my pup was relaxed and calm which is the best sign she was given great care. He followed the instructions and even spoiled her with attention. We are definitely recommend Greg and would love use his service in the future. Thank you Greg!!
Kachi was a great sitter for our senior dog and senior cat! She was very communicative and easygoing, and the pets clicked with her right away. She also went above and beyond dealing with packages and other random house things. Would 100% recommend booking her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bensonhurst
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.
