“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.”
“Michelle was wonderful with my dog callie! Michelle was able to coax Callie out of her shyness and gave her the love and attention that she needs. Michelle was communicative and responsive and regularly sent me pics of my baby. I'd definitely rebook her again?”
“Janelle was fantastic! She sent detailed updates and lots of pictures every day, and I felt very confident that my cats were safe and happy. The photos also confirmed that even the shyer of the two warmed up to her very quickly. And I came back to a spotless house. I’m hoping she’ll be free next time we’re out of town!”
“Alexandra was able to sit for our 10-month-old pup in a pinch and she was wonderful. Super attentive of his needs and followed all of our requests perfectly. Would definitely book her again!”
“Kaily is the absolute best. My cat is perfectly content to hide under blankets around strangers for days on end; she's friends with Kaily. That's all you need to know right there!”
“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!”

“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.”

“Goldie was a dream from start to finish. Her kind, sensitive nature shines through immediately when you meet her, and she met my cat exactly where she was, and they became fast friends.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bensonhurst
Brenda has helped us with dog sitting two times, taking great care of our dogs and home. We have great peace of mind knowing our dogs get all the care they need when we are out. She handles our younger energetic and anxious dog, as well as our older one. Highly recommend!
Nicole is AMAZING! Finding a great and reliable sitter is always a tough task. Nicole, was absolutely a pleasure to work with. She took care of my pups with so much love and care—I could enjoy my time away without any worries. She is great with her communication and sent the cutest pictures!
I was across an ocean getting married, and during the stay my pup ended up being sick which was really stressful, but Kachi really communicated with me through it and did as much as she could in her power to get him through it and take care of my home at the same time. Thank you so much. Seriously. Cannot recommend her enough for sitting.
Valerie was amazing. So caring and attentive to my dog while also being very communicative and reliable - sending pictures and updates multiple times per day. Valerie went above and beyond (even giving my dog a bath) and was also very caring and respectful of our place. I will definitely ask Valerie to stay with Chimbo again!
Adriana was wonderful! She took excellent care of our puppy, kept us updated throughout the stay, and was incredibly thoughtful and attentive. She also went above and beyond in taking care of our home. We really appreciated everything she did and would absolutely recommend her!
Kristian did an absolute top rate job with our two kitties. She was house sitting for us and could not have done a better job taking care of our katz, entertaining them, and looking out for our apartment. We highly recommend her to anybody who is reading this review. This was simply a case of somebody who obviously loves and understands that pets are part of the family! Thank you Kristian!
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!!!!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bensonhurst
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bensonhurst is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $89 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 19,029 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
