“Iliana was absolutely amazing! This was the first time leaving my cat over night and I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! You can tell how much she loves animals. Iliana also took some of the best photos I’ve ever seen of my cat during her visits. I definitely recommend her to watch your furry family members!!”

“Adrien was awesome with our cats Indy and Sully! They handled feeding, litter box duty, and even gave meds without any issues. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats and really appreciate the care Adrien gave them. Would definitely book with them again! Thank you!!”

About: I have experience taking care of dogs because I grew up with them. Being around dogs has always felt natural to me, so I understand the basics of feeding them, walking them, playing with them, keeping them comfortable, and paying attention to what they need. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, but I’m also playful, so I enjoy making sure dogs are not just cared for, but actually happy and engaged. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I would always respect the owner’s instructions and take time to understand what works best for their dog. I’m currently in college and home for the summer, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available for walks, playtime, drop-ins, and consistent care throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and make scheduling easy for you. I care for pets by keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I would follow their instructions carefully, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication, or general house rules. I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. For walks or visits, I would stay aware of my surroundings, keep dogs secure on their leash, avoid unsafe situations, and pay attention to how they’re acting. My goal is for the pet to feel cared for and for the owner to feel relaxed knowing their dog is safe and in good hands.

“Stacey did an amazing job with my two little dogs! I was out of town for almost two weeks, and I arranged for Stacy to come into my home three times a day to care for my two small dogs. One of my dogs is an older dog that I adopted only a few months ago. He has some behavior issues, but Stacey was very kind and gentle with him. She went above and beyond what I asked her to do in terms of caring for the dogs. When I was away from home, it was such a relief to receive her reports and pictures of the dogs three times a day. When I returned home, the dogs and my home were in great shape. I could tell that my dogs had been well cared for by Stacey, and I truly appreciate all that she did for my dogs while I was away. Stacey is professional and dependable, and she really understands dogs! I highly recommend Stacey, and I know I will be requesting her help again in the future.”

About: I’ve had all types of dogs and cats throughout my 58 years of life. I currently have two beautiful Rottweilers whom I love dearly. Now that I’m retired, my goal is to get some land and have an animal rescue. I like spending time with animals more than people. I am retired so my days are spent spending time with my two Rottweilers and going to the gym and that’s about it. I have plenty of time to help care for animals that need me. I will care for your dog in whatever way you request. My schedule with them will be exactly what you want it to be. Both my Rottweilers sleep in my bed with me so if your dogs normally sleep in the bed with you, I will do that too. Actually it’s my favorite 🥰. I get sad when I have to leave my Rottweilers with family only because I know they’ll miss sleeping with me, going to their favorite park and chasing the ball, and spending the entire day with me. Animals get used to their routine and it stresses them out and makes them sad when they don’t get to do their normal things and spend time with their people. So I will try to make them as happy as they can be while you’re gone.

About: As a professional sitter, what sets me apart is my diverse skill set and experience. I specialize in not just regular pet sitting but also have extensive training in puppy training techniques, as well as K9 training making me adept at handling and guiding young pups through their crucial learning stages. Additionally, I have specialized training in senior pet care, ensuring that older pets receive the attention, care, and support they need, including administering medication or providing extra comfort and companionship. My dedication to continuous learning and my passion for animals make me a reliable and compassionate sitter who goes above and beyond to meet the unique needs of every pet in my care. As I am only working part-time. I ensure that pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. This includes regular feeding, exercise, playtime, walks , snuggles and administering any necessary medication or treatments as needed. Whether your pet stays with me or I come to your home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll stick to their usual feeding schedule, make sure they always have fresh water, keep up with walks and exercise, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles. I’m also comfortable following care instructions for medications and other special needs. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll respect your space and keep everything tidy while making sure your pet stays on their normal routine. I know every animal is different, so I’m always happy to work with their individual personality, preferences, and needs. Your pets will get plenty of love and attention, and you’ll get updates and pictures along the way!

About: I’ve been a pet owner my entire life and truly believe pets are part of the family. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all personalities, ages, and sizes. I’m offering walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’ll treat your fur baby with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, so I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and communication along the way! Working from home gives me a lot of flexibility in my day, which makes pet care a really natural fit for my lifestyle. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and find it incredibly rewarding to care for them, whether that means going for a walk, giving them some extra attention and playtime, or simply keeping them company while their family is away. I do have a family, so I’m mindful about planning my schedule around our family commitments. That said, working from home gives me the flexibility to organize my time thoughtfully and make sure I can be present and attentive when caring for your pets. I’d love the opportunity to treat your pets like part of the family and give them the same love, patience, and care I’d want for my own! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet and your home in someone else’s care, so I treat that responsibility very seriously. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, needs, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, surroundings, and anything that could potentially put a pet at risk. I also treat every home with the same respect and care I would want for my own. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable and confident while your pet is with me. I’ll communicate with you, provide updates and photos, and make sure your furry family member gets plenty of love, attention, and patience while you’re away. ❤️

About: I'm usually a very meticulous person. When I was 15, I helped my friend take care of her Golden Retrievers. They were quite big for me, but I was up to the task. I learned how to care for them, how to take them for walks, and how to clean them. I also have a lot of energy, and I think taking care of dogs requires good physical stamina. As long as I show them careful and loving attention, the dogs can sense it. I'm only available in the mornings and evenings before January 5th, but I'll have more time after January 5th. We need to schedule a time to meet and discuss things in detail. My home is an apartment and doesn't have a backyard, but my bedroom is very spacious. My house has wall-to-wall carpeting. There are no pets in the house.

About: Animals are my pride and joy! I've cared for many different pets for about 15 years now. I grew up with cats, dogs, and many other species. Previously I've had a pitbull, and currently I have four cats! I also have fostered 12 kittens up to this point. I have already sat for dogs, cats, and bunnies. You can be confident that your pet is in the best hands and will receive top care, as caring for animals is my passion and pleasure:) Pet sitting and taking care of animals is my priority! Right now I only work part time but if anyone needs me to help out I’ll be there! I have four cats currently and I’ve had dogs.I’ve taken care of many other species and breeds for others as well so I am well versed in animal care. Whatever you need me to do as far as routine care I will do as well as give them all my love and attention. I can stay as many nights and days as you need!

About: I've been a dog and cat owner since I was a child. I started taking care of my friend's dogs about 5 years ago. I would stay the night as well as visit them to let them outside. She recently got a great dane puppy that I check in on to let out and watched him for a few hours while he was being trained. I also have helped my partner's dogs, one of which is very anxious, while their family was out of town. I watched them, played with them, cuddled, and fed them. I am in community college right now, so my availability is most open on the weekends, Friday-Sunday. However, I also have afternoon availability for walks, check ins, potty breaks, and play dates during the week! I love to play with small to big dogs and cats, and I can watch them if they need to be let out. I also follow feeding instructions very specifically and dutifully. I have experience crating big dogs that are already crate trained, and I have been learning in my free time how to place train my own dogs, so I can assist in that training if needed given instruction.

This was my very first time using someone other than a trusted family member to take care of our beloved cat. Luckily I matched with Abby and from our first meeting, I felt very comfortable knowing she would care for my kitty with compassion and kindness. Abby was very astute to my needs as a pet owner and really set my mind at ease! The picture updates were awesome as well as the personal messages really comforted us knowing our cat’s emotional and physical needs were being met. Thanks again!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Brentwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Brentwood is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $47 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 October 2026, there are 5,871 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Brentwood. 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 .

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 , 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 Brentwood. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
