About: Please read my about me section for 2026 schedule. :) I’ve always loved being around dogs and cats, and I’ve taken care of pets for family, friends, and clients over the years. I’m patient with pets and treat them the same way I’d want someone to treat my own. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality instead of treating every dog or cat the same. I’ll make sure they’re fed, walked, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I also know how important updates are for owners, so I’ll keep you posted with photos while you’re away. Ryan’s on pet duty! :) I’m a college student, so I have a semi-flexible schedule that lets me make time for pet care. *Reduced rates may apply for 3+ pets.* 2026 Availability Schedule: Weekdays: After ~3:30 PM Thursdays: Available Weekends: Available Holidays: Available - I understand that pets are more than just animals - they’re family - and I’ll make sure they get the attention, care, and routine they’re used to. I always communicate with owners and provide updates because I know how important and comforting it is to know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away! I treat every pet like they’re my own and always put their safety and comfort first. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll follow any instructions you leave, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or special requests. I’ll also respect your home and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
“Chelsie is adored by Duke. She is attentive, friendly, playful and hands on teaching him on every visit. I appreciate her approach and advice to help make Duke feel his best when she is there. She is a huge help, so thankful we found Duke a great friend.”
“Barbara is extremely responsible, detail-oriented, helpful! This is our first time using Rover and luckily found Barbara! She spent time playing with our dog and kept her happy. We will definitely recommend her!”
About: NOTE: I charge $60 as my flat fee for 6 hours of homestays. After that I charge an extra $5 for each hour per dog. (this is negotiable for repeat clients). I am usually unavailable Tues/Thurs evenings after 6pm. I also only do overnight stays for repeat clients. Hi! I've been around both dogs and cats my whole life and have been a primary caretaker of everything from puppies and kittens to senior pets to pets with special needs. My own two cats can attest that I'm ready and willing to do everything I can to give them a good life. I'm energetic and dependable, I'm also strong so your big dog won't get a leg up on me! You can rely on me to bathe, walk, feed, give medication, or even just some extra love to your pet! I'm also good with boundaries, (important for cats especially) and have worked with breeds from toy Morkie's to giant Shepards! I’m a freelancer, so my schedule changes often, but I am usually free except for Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Those are usually reserved. I only do walks within a 20 minute train ride, but will do sittings all over the city! (Note: I charge a 10% cancellation fee if cancelled within 24 hrs of service) I am respectful of all wishes when it comes to drop-in visits and your home, and keep to common areas, I'm also willing and in fact, encourage picture updates of your pet's care (and to reassure you if you have anxiety over leaving your pet with a stranger like I sometimes do). As for walks, there are no headphones or any other distractions to me when I walk your pet. I stay along well lit streets, and aware of your dogs needs at all times.
About: I have 2 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats for friends, neighbors, and family members. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s personality and needs. I can help with walking, feeding, playtime, cleaning, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I always try to give pets attention, affection, and a calm environment so they feel cared for and relaxed. Pet care fits well into my routine because I’m flexible and organized with my time. I’m available on most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and spending quality time with pets. I enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable, active, and cared for throughout the day. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well supervised in both my home and a client’s home. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions from owners. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets and try to create a calm, clean, and trustworthy environment where they can feel secure and relaxed.
“Andy did a great job taking care of our two cats! He was very communicative, responsible, timely, and paid good attention to details like taking out the litter garbage, specific feeding instructions, and bringing some extra toys to entertain the cats. Definitely recommend!!”
“Daisy is great! She is friendly, a great communicator, and my dogs love her. This was my first time using a rover and I’m so glad she was able to take care of my fur babies. I will definitely contact her again to take care of my doggies.”
“This was our second time having Alex watch our furry cat baby. Alex provided great updates and photos and I felt confident that our cat was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Lynn took such good care of my kitties! She played with them and gave them lots of attention and sent me lots of updates. I was so grateful to have her look after them!”
About: Hi! My name is Michelle and I’m based in Midwood, Brooklyn! I live with my boyfriend and adorable cats in a 2 bedroom apartment. I’m an occupational therapist and pet sitter on the side. I am a school-based occupational therapist by day and a full-time cat mom on the side. I am off during summers so trust that your fur-babies will be fully attended to! When I am at work, my schedule follows a traditional school schedule — so M-F 8-3pm. My boyfriend is a medical student who is usually home a lot. I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and I’ve taken care of pets since I was 8 years old. Throughout my childhood I have had pets ranging from reptiles, to fish, to hamsters, and I also grew up surrounded by family member’s dogs! I have volunteered as a dog walker at Sean Casey Animal Rescue and socialized/walked dogs during my free time. I also had the greatest time working at Paws in Paradise, a Doggy Daycare Center in Park Slope, caring after dogs from a variety of breeds and ages! I had my own dog when I was 8 years old and she was my best friend, raising her when she was just a puppy up until 12 years old. I learned the most about unconditional love and companionship from her and it was the best moments in my life raising her. Now I have 2 cats who have been exposed to other pets since the day I adopted them. Both my boyfriend and I have experience with pets and we both take part in caring for the furbabies in our home. We have a large rooftop and we also live fairly close to Prospect Park. We have a car, so we would be able to drive to our nearest dog park (Kensington), so with permission I would love to take your pet there as well! I can assure you that your pet will receive all the cuddles and care they need with me. I’ve looked after dogs of family members and friends and I will always send them pictures and videos to update them throughout the day — so I can assure you I will do the same for you! I have more experience with small and medium sized dogs, but I have handled big dogs before. I have experience cat-sitting and allow them to roam around my house freely with a designated room for their litter box.
“Victoria is AMAZINGGGGG!! Super communicative and just a very sweet person all around. If you’re thinking about booking, just do it ☺️you won’t be disappointed with having your fur baby in her care.”
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.
About: I have a husky malamute mix that I walk everyday. I love bringing her on hikes and exploring nature with her. I have trained her well and taught her many tricks. I am confident that I can take good care of dogs. I currently work part time with a short day, so I am free in the morning until noon and after 3PM to take the dogs out for a walk. I have a fenced yard and a friendly husky to keep your fur baby company. There are also many dog toys to keep them entertained.
“Amy did a great job with my cat, including refilling food and water bowls, scooping the litter box, and giving some pets. I had zero problems working with Amy and would definitely rebook her in the future.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 5 years and treat every pup like family. I offer boarding, walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I have a small yard for potty breaks and fresh air, and I always take dogs to a big nearby park so they can run, play, and get plenty of exercise. I’m comfortable all breeds. I follow each dog’s routine for feeding, meds, and walks, and I send regular photo/video updates so you have peace of mind. Safety, positive reinforcement, and lots of love are my top priorities. - Boarding : In my home, with daily park trips - Walk's: 30–60 min walks around the neighborhood or park - Drop-ins: Feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles Im currently back to class so im not home as much but my mom is home and so is my brother and father so your dog wouldn’t be home by themselves, I don’t have class on Wednesdays and Sundays so whenever I am home I will be spending a lot of time with them and making sure they are getting a lot of love. I live in an apartment with a small, secure backyard for quick potty breaks and fresh air. For real exercise, I take dogs to a large nearby park where they can safely run and explore. Your dog will never be left unsupervised outside. I stick to your feeding/medication routines, and send regular photo updates
About: *I only take one pet at a time for boarding and day care (two if they are in the same family). For additional pets, please inquire. My rates are firm and reflect the level of care I will provide. Rates are subject to change based on my availability and demand. * I know the feeling of never wanting to leave your fur baby behind. Wherever I went, if I couldn’t take my pets with me, then I would rather not go at all. But sometimes when work calls or when you simply need a little “me” time, we need help from someone we can trust to love and care for our pets while we’re away. I would love to be that person for you! My pet care experience comes from working at and caring for shelter animals, caring for stray cats, fostering cats and dogs, and loving my own beloved pets (My two dogs that have since passed - Terri, 18, Maple, 12, and cat - August, 5). I’m fear-free certified and have extensive experience caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs (especially cushings, CHF, CCD). I can help with giving oral medications and am open to assisting with other needs if you’re willing to teach. If your pet knows any commands or is in training, I’m happy to help reinforce their skills too (just let me know!). In addition to my experience above, I was also featured on NY1’s New Yorker of the week segment for my volunteer work at Animal Haven, an animal shelter based in Manhattan. My home is super senior-dog friendly with rugs all around the house so your pups don’t slip, pet oxygen for emergencies, plus strollers for pets with special needs. I work remote and have flexibility in my schedule. I offer pet day care, house sitting, and boarding. Please see my calendar for availability. HOUSE SITTING - overnight stays in your home. DROP INS - 30 minutes and I’ll do whatever is needed in that time. This could be a combination of feeding, meds, quick potty/walk, indoor playtime, etc. For high-energy, active dogs, you can extend the visit to an hour for additional walking time. BOARDING - Hours are from 8pm to 8am with some flexibility on drop off and pick up times. Your dog stays overnight at my place. DAY CARE - My day care hours are from 7am - 6pm. Requests past these hours will be considered boarding. I do a minimum of 2-4 walks a day, depending on your dogs needs. Owners must provide food for their pets, but I can also accommodate for an added fee of $10 per day (includes treats/meals). Please ask about food options and provide allergy info + food preferences if interested in that service. *please drop off and pick up pets in a timely manner. $25 charge for every hour late. I will love and care for your pet the way you do for them. I treat every animal I care for like family, providing patience, space, and extra attention as needed. I’m super safety conscious and keen on details, so if there are any particular habits, routines, or schedules you’d like me to follow, if your pet is trained or undergoing training and there’s anything you want me to reinforce, or if your pet has special needs and requires special care, please reach out to me with those details. I am always willing and more than happy to work with you to make sure they are cared for and to give you peace of mind. Rest assured, you’ll be getting plenty of updates and photos from me!
“Heather is so wonderful! She goes above and beyond and just truly loves animals. My favorite thing about her is that she’s SUPER knowledgeable about pets and knows how different their needs can be. She’s patient and flexible and provides the exact custom treatment every pet deserves. Can’t recommend Heather enough!”

Danielle took fantastic care of my cat Malakai. Immediately from the meet and greet I could tell she is an animal lover and knows how to approach a cat. They were fast friends and I felt so comfortable leaving him in her care. Will definitely be booking her again!
Andy was so amazing with an extremely last minute request to check in on my cat Malakai. He was quick to respond, sent tons of pictures and videos, and even gave oral medication. Overall I felt so comfortable with his help and will certainly be reaching out again.
Alexandra has been my cat sitter for years now. She is so kind, patient, and thorough. I have fake ferals and she has never pushed them. Just gets excited along with me with all the little wins. She communicates, takes great pictures, and I get to relax when I'm away. I and my babies are so grateful to have her and her amazing care.
I could not have asked for a better person to care for my dog! Maya was super nice, communicative, and caring. My dog is 13 and has to take medicine + go on very slow walks and Maya had no issues accomodating her. I will definitely book with her the next time I need a walker!
Megan was very attentive to what our cats needed while we were out of town. She wants to know everything about their routine and their behavior to a T so she can properly prepare for looking after our cats which is everything a pet owner would want to ensure they’re taken care of. She is very communicative with sharing consistent updates each visit, raises questions for things that might be cause for concern or that she should be aware of, and overall very accommodating if there are any hiccups that occur during the duration of care. Our cats really warmed up to her (one of whom dislikes new people) which goes to show how great she is. We would highly recommend Megan for anyone looking for excellent pet care!
Kseniia is absolutely amazing — our dog is newly diabetic, and Kseniia picked up very quickly on how to administer her insulin. Kseniia is thorough, asked the right questions, and even followed up with us that evening to ensure everything was okay. Kseniia is polite and respectful, and she is great with Ellie. She is well worth every penny you pay her. We will always be turning to Kseniia for anything regarding watching or caring for our dog!! Thank you, Kseniia!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bensonhurst is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $43 per visit. 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 27,554 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bensonhurst. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bensonhurst. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
