“Loarann was amazing!! This was my first time using in-home boarding so I was nervous but she was so sweet and so communicative. I never once had to worry or wonder what was going on which is huge for when you go on a trip that’s stressful enough! I honestly think she left the place better than she found it and was so kind about my house being kind of a sight these days because of renovations. She seems to truly love animals and I will 100% use her again in the future, no question.”
“Anne was on time daily, and kept on contact with me the entire time with photo updates and general information about her day with our baby. Highly recommend Anne for a sitter.”
“Claire was wonderful. She sent me great pictures everyday of my little girl Sadie. She paid so much attention to her and gave me updates on a regular basis. I will definitely request her again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs ever since I got my puppy at 14 years old. Aside from that, I have taken care of family members animals for weeks at a time! I love animals (dogs especially) and love going on walks with them and playing inside/outside! I will take amazing care of any dog no matter the size or age. I don’t currently work full time so I would be very flexible and easy to communicate with! Working with your schedule specifically would be very easy for me! I don’t have the amenities to care for a dog overnight at my house because I have a small yard. But I would love to care for them at your house, or just go on walks!
“Allison is a wonderful pet and house sitter. She took excellent care of my pets, kept me updated throughout, and sent photos that gave me great peace of mind. I would happily trust her again and highly recommend her to others.”

“Shannon did a great job house sitting for me and watching my very anxious doodle!! Winnie seemed very happy when i got home! The house was kept very clean and left in the same condition i left it in. I will definitely book again with her!! thank you!!”
“Nathalia is an extremely accommodating house sitter. She cared for my animals, sent updates and always asked questions if she wasn’t sure. She went above and beyond in the home as well. Including laundering her sheets. Something I’d never expect. She is a treat to work with when you have to share your home and animals. Highly recommend. Thanks for the great work Nathalia! See you again soon.”
“Stephanie watched our cat and dog at our house over the holidays and did a great job! She spent a lot of time with our animals and gave updates/pics. We appreciated that she took in our mail, brushed our dog, and even cleaned a Roomba vac that ran over a pet mess. Highly recommend!”
About: I love meeting and caring for new pets! Ive worked with Labs, Huskies, Shepards, and more while house sitting and as drop-ins. I'm used to high energy dogs so I'm no stranger to walks, too! I'm working from home right now so I have flexible availability for morning, midday, and evening check-ins or more if needed. Let me know your pets needs! I want your pet to be safe and happy. I always use leashes on walks, watch their body language, and I'll send you an update photo.
“Chelsea is absolutely phenomenal! She jumped in last minute when I needed a sitter while on vacation. She immediately bonded with my dog and he fell in love with her. He can be anxious and overly excitable, but he felt comfortable with her right away. She made it possible for me to have an enjoyable outing with my family and not be worried about Odin the whole time. I can't say enough good things about her, I highly recommend her!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the very beginning, Monese was communicative, professional, and genuinely caring. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our girls were in such loving and capable hands. Monese kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which we truly appreciated. It was clear our girls were not only well cared for, but also happy, relaxed, and getting lots of attention and affection. When we came home, our dogs were calm, content, and clearly comfortable — always the best sign! We especially appreciated reliability, attention to detail, and the extra care taken to stick to our girls routine. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate dog sitter.”
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brent
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!
Dawn is simply the best! She has cared for my 3 pups several times and I especially appreciate how well she care for my elderly 16-year-old Pomeranian Including giving him his meds twice a day and special attention going outside If you have an elderly pup, I highly recommend Dawn!
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.
Dianne went above and beyond while pet and house sitting. We went out of town while our house just went on market and she was so flexible and accommodating while realtors and interested people came through. She left the house just as clean as when she arrived and sent us daily pictures of our dogs. Highly recommend her for pet and house sitting!
Claire did an excellent job watching my two dogs and three cats, she handled my senior chihuahua well and was great about keeping me updated on my two shy kitties. I appreciated her coming before the booking to meet the animals and make sure we all felt it was a good fit. Will definitely use her again and would highly recommend!
Lindsey was amazing! Our go to sitter from here on out. We are so thankful for her great communication, looking after our babies and making our weekend away so easy! She stayed at our home with our two dogs and I had full trust! Very thankful that she loved on our babies and they love her already!

FAQs for House Sitting - Brent
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Brent on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 650 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brent. 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 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 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.

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.
