“Noah was awesome! Kind to my furbabies, no complaints from them- 2 paws up. Noah was quick at responding and ready to go on short notice for us. This was our first time using Rover; I'm glad I found Noah when needed. We'll be using him again when the time comes.”

“We have met Kari twice now and this is the first time we left her with our dog Lucy. We had a positive experience with her. She is always on time and was nice to us and accommodating. My dog seems to really like her and she was able to follow care instructions for my dog. We would like to continue to use Kari; as a matter of fact we already booked her services again.”

I have a large single family home with a fenced yard and regular host doggy play dates with my Belgian Malinois, Hugo. I also have a large park nearby that is walkable.
“Michele was absolutely amazing! This was the first time we have left Tank alone with someone other than family members so we were definitely nervous about how he was going to react. Michele exceeded our expectations with numerous pictures and updates throughout the weekend as well as vidoes of our baby! We felt at ease knowing Tank was in great hands and will definitely be using Michele again whenever we need a dog and house sitter! I cannot thank Michele enough for her dedication to animals and making sure everyone was happy!”
“Madison did awesome with our two dogs! She sent picture updates throughout the week and I could tell they were having a good time. When we got home the house was clean and tidy just how we left it and she even washed towels she used and took out the trash. This is the first time we have ever had someone watch both of our dogs together and the next time we go out of town we will definitely be contacting Madison!”
“Shelby was great with our fur babies, she is an excellent pet/house sitter. We were gone for 5 days and she texted & sent pictures am/pm. We had great peace of mind knowing that Mia and O'lover were in good hands. In fact, when we arrived home my kids looked a little disappointed it was us and not Shelby...lol. Thanks Shelby for loving up our kiddos.”

Kate was so great with Bones! She was super sweet, kept me updated while I was gone, and took such good care of him. I felt totally comfortable leaving him with her, and he was so happy when I got back! He definitely loved hanging out with her, and I’ll be using her again!
Loarann was a fantastic sitter. She housesat for our 2 dogs and 2 cats for a week. On our meet and greet she took detailed notes to learn their routines and needs. They were all well taken care of with all their needs met. We have one energetic dog that loves chasing a tennis ball and Loarann made sure she had plenty of time for that. We came home to very happy well taken care of pets and had a great vacation without any worries.
Sara was great with our cat, Merlin! I certainly recommend her! She sent pictures of Merlin, stayed at the house to keep him company, fed him, played with him and let him in and out. She even notified us of an impending storm and secured items, plants and umbrellas on the deck. It’s obvious she loves pets and is very conscientious.
Felicia was absolutely AMAZING! This was my first time leaving my one dog with a sitter and she was so kind and understanding. She sent pics throughout the day and stayed over a couple of nights to snuggle with my pups a little extra. Her rates are way lower than the work and love she puts in. Thank you, Felicia!
Caitlin was just what we were looking for in a dog sitter! She was communicative, responsible and friendly. She sent great updates with photos every day. Our shiba inu and dachshund seemed to really enjoy her presence and warmed up nicely. We look forward to using Caitlin for more dog sitting needs in the future!
Murray was great. He dog sat my 2 big labs. One is elderly and needed special help and care and I almost didn’t go away for the night but Murray took great care of him. The other is a total spaz but he cared for both of them like I do. I would definitely use him again and recommend him for any dog sitting.
Pooja was sweet and attentive to my service dog and kept me updated on his activity. To help with his separation, she redirected his attention and kept him from focusing on my absence. Pooja also gave me hope that I will be able to help my pup begin to enjoy being alone. I highly recommend Pooja.
Matt was amazing!! Our baby wouldn’t eat when we left (he gets extremely sad when we leave), and he went out of his way to get our guy to eat! He went to the store and picked up different kinds of food, cooked him chicken and eggs, etc. And it worked! Our dog also requires a lot of medication and eyedrops, and Matt did all of it. Matt truly went above and beyond, and we know Porky was in such great, caring hands. We highly recommend Matt and will absolutely rebook him.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Brent is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $72 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.

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 Brent 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 Brent 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 Brent 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.
