“Keaton was a fantastic house/dog-sitter, taking care of our elderly dog and three cats. Keaton quickly made friends with everyone and updated us twice a day with medication info, walk notes, and photos. We felt relaxed and comfortable knowing our pets (and home) were in good hands. Thank you, Keaton!”

“Jayne is outstanding! Our dog can be reactive with new people and situations, but she immediately liked Jayne and it was easy to see why. Jayne is wonderfully calm and thoughtful, and was very attuned to our dog's disposition. Jayne was great with communications, left the house super tidy, and we returned to a happy well-cared-for pup. Highly recommend and we look forward to working with Jayne again!”

Meredith even introduced new activities for her, which we still use today. We came home to a spotless house and a very happy cat. We couldn't recommend Meredith more highly.”

Tristen was an excellent communicator throughout and we got some wonderful update pictures of our dog that are frameworthy! My dog was loving life. Tristen also took care of our plants as requested.

“Monica was great! This was our first time using her and we were gone for two weeks so we were a little nervous. She kept in touch and sent us lots of pictures and updates so we could keep tabs on our guy. She followed the requested schedule and even came over the day we left to run through everything again since our initial meet and greet was over a month before we left. To top it off after an almost 30 hour travel day we walked in to a clean house. Not only did she tidy her space but she also cleaned/vacuumed. Such a relief to come home to. Would definitely use her services again”

She was also very kind and trust worthy. I would recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a dog walker or longer term dog sitter!”

We did not plan on having a small kitten along with our two adult cats when we planned a trip, and realized a house sitter was needed to continue monitoring and acclimating our cat fam. Amy responded to all communication promptly, sent pics and updates throughout, and left our house immaculate. We came home to cats who were relaxed and happy. Highly recommend Amy's services, she is a trustworthy professional.”

About: As a dedicated cat lover, I know that cats are most comfortable when their routines, territory, and personal boundaries are respected. Whether your cat is an outgoing socializer who wants immediate playtime or a sensitive soul who needs a quiet presence and time to warm up, I adapt my approach to fit their unique personality. I focus on providing low-stress, highly reliable drop-in visits and care. I understand that subtle changes in a cat's behavior or appetite matter, and I pay close attention to the small details that keep them feeling safe and happy while you are away. I’m currently retired after 27 years as a federal civil servant. I’ll have plenty of time to care for your furry family members and house sitting needs. I am experienced in managing multi-cat dynamics, tracking wellness routines, and creating a calm, predictable environment. I would love to schedule a free meet-and-greet to get to know you and your cats before booking.

“Lila was extremely responsive and communicative while caring for my dog. She provided regular proactive updates, and went above and beyond when my dog had to go to the vet unexpectedly while I was out of the country. I could tell Lila really cared for Gracie and it gave me peace of mind knowing she was with her while G experienced her health issue. Would highly recommend and rebook. Thank you Lila!”

Danielle and her husband took such wonderful care of our high-energy, 2.5-year-old foster dog while we were away on a trip! We really appreciated their excellent communication, photos, and regular updates. Before leaving, we were a little anxious about leaving our dog for the weekend, but they made us feel so much more at ease. We highly recommend Danielle and her husband for house and pet sitting, and we’ll absolutely be booking them again! I know our foster dog will be SUPER excited to see them next time! 🐾

Lauren was fabulous! She agreed to housesit and care for our elderly, special needs guy at the last minute, after another Rover sitter cancelled, and she took great care of both Arthur and our home. Lauren was super responsive, extremely competent, and sent lots of updates to keep us informed. If you're looking for a trustworthy, resourceful person to handle both your four-legged family and your home, look no further than Lauren. We'd definitely book with her again!

We cannot possibly overstate how spectacular Thalia is as a pet sitter! She took care of our pup and our house for a week and it was such a delightful experience. Thalia communicated with us and sent us dog pictures regularly, took care of deliveries to the house while we were gone, took our dog Fig on lots of great walks, and left the house in better condition than we left it! We will absolutely go to Thalia first any time Fig needs care!

Destiny provided top-notch, high quality care for my dog Nutmeg. She asked thoughtful questions during the meet-and-greet and throughout the stay to ensure all his needs were met, and sent frequent and detailed updates and cute pictures. Destiny also left the apartment in fantastic condition. Can't thank her enough for how well she took care of my baby, it was such a relief to know he was in good hands while I was away. I will definitely be contacting her again!!

I can't say enough good things about Lacey. She was kind, flexible, easygoing, and understanding, and she kept me in the loop with prompt, transparent updates the whole time I was away. Most important of all, my pups adored her. When I got home and the pups heard the building door open, they started barking, and every bark was an excited one. They had no idea yet who was coming up the stairs, but they knew they'd be happy to see whoever it was. That told me more about the depth of Lacey's loving care than anything else could have. I recommend her highly and without reservation, and I'd hire her again in a heartbeat!

Zaida was a fantastic pet/house sitter! We were in a bind and needed a sitter with short notice and she responded promptly and set up a house tour for the next day. She was fantastic with our two pups giving them plenty of attention and care. Very grateful for her daily updates and photos so we didn’t have to worry about a thing on our trip. Sebastian and Penelope both give Zaida four paws up and look forward to their next hang!

FAQs for House Sitting - Brentwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Brentwood is $60 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $94 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 October 2026, there are 10,683 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brentwood. 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 Brentwood 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 Brentwood 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 Brentwood 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 , 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 .

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 .

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.

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
  • 91% 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.
