“Jessica has been great with my boy Charlie as we navigate separation anxiety in our new home. She shows up on-time with a great attitude (even when it’s early morning). Charlie is relaxed around her and I know he’s in good hands while I’m away. Thank you!!!”
“Superlative! Emily was everything we wanted in a pet sitter, and more. She was responsive, reliable, and a great communicator. She quickly grasped our cat’s needs, asked appropriate questions, and was attentive in her visits. It was a delight to have her services – we enjoyed our time away more knowing that she was on the job.”
“Lydia was wonderful to Blarfie and gave very detailed photos and details about our old man while we were traveling! Highly recommend, Blarfie is a big fan.”
“Another fantastic experience! This is a repeat booking for us, and Shao was perfectly on time, sent lots of pictures, and took such good care of my dogs just like before. It is a huge relief knowing I have a go-to sitter I can always trust!”
About: Hello! My name is Adriana and I am born and raised here in beautiful San Francisco. I’m a student at SFSU and work full time at the SF SPCA. I am FearFree certified and have years of experience managing a local doggy daycare. I would love to give a helping hand to those who need it when I have extra spare time on my hands. Currently, I house sit and dog sit for close friends, family, and customers with interests of expanding. I have a 10 year old German Shepherd that I live with and have had her since she was 6 weeks old and 2 cats. I have grown up and was raised around all shapes and sizes of dogs, cats, horses, birds, and many more! Every pet that is taken into my care is treated and loved as if they were one of my own. I can’t wait to hang out with your four legged friend! Use code ADRIAC87321 to get $20 off your first booking with me on Rover: https://www.rover.com/sit/adriac87321 Pet care is a significant part of my daily and weekly routine, given my professional experience and responsibilities. With a dog of my own and 2 cats I am conditioned to the care that they require on a daily basis. While I do have a fur baby of my own, when caring for your pets they would have my undivided attention. I am willing to feed, replenish water, administer meds, take a trip to your pup’s favorite park, or just simply hang with them and keep them company!
“Shai did an amazing job sitting our disabled, elderly kitty! She followed our routine and Fiona loved her. Fiona doesn't love many people. Shai communicated well and send pics. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Seng did an amazing job with our pups! She was so communicative and sent lots of updates about the visit. Our pups were clearly very relaxed and comfortable around her. Would highly recommend!”
“Mystyc was amazing with my elderly, disabled kitty Fiona! She was curious and helpful and willing to go the extra mile to make Fiona comfortable. She administered meds and changed protective coverings on Fiona's ankles with confidence and no trouble. Mystyc communicated clearly and sent updates and pics everyday. I would hire her again without hesitation, she truly cared about Fiona and it showed. Mystyc is a superstar and renewed my faith in Rover sitters!”
“Sarah has been so wonderful!! She’s so patient and really lets my anxious dog set the pace. He started off very nervous and has warmed up to Sarah overtime. Her detailed summaries and photos are also so helpful and give me so much peace of mind. I will be booking with her again!”

About: Three years at an SPCA animal shelter taught me to read dogs of every breed, age, and temperament, from anxious rescues to energetic and rambunctious bigger dogs. As the parent of a senior rescue with anxiety and a finicky appetite, I bring hands-on experience with senior care, calming techniques, and patient, attentive handling that puts nervous dogs at ease. I’m currently between roles and actively interviewing for full-time positions, which has opened up a great routine for dog care. I’m reliably available early mornings after 7am till evening 7pm PT. Weekends are flexible and worked out based on requests as they come in, so I’m happy to accommodate what fits your schedule. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first, whether we’re out on a walk or spending time at my place. I have a private balcony at home for supervised outdoor time, plus a big community playground nearby that’s great for extra space to play, sniff around, and burn off energy. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, from leash handling to knowing when a dog needs a calmer, quieter space instead.
About: Hi! I’m Neda 😊 I recently moved to San Francisco to be closer to my family. I grew up around both dogs and cats and have always loved having pets around. I’m caring, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s personality and routine. I’d love to give your furry friend some company, playtime, walks, and lots of love while you’re away! 🐾 I have a flexible schedule right now, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, and I can be flexible with timing based on your pet’s needs and routine. 🐾 I’m mainly available to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m respectful of each home and follow the pet’s routine and care instructions carefully. I always make sure doors and gates are secure, keep pets supervised, and pay attention to their behavior and needs. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and safe while you’re away. 🐾
About: I have experience with cats and dogs as I have lived with both my entire life. I currently live with 3 cats and 1 Rottweiler. I am currently job-seeking and can accommodate time for animals at any point throughout the day. I am able to walk or drive to provide pet care. I am not able to board any animals in my current living arrangement as I live with 4 animals. I am able to walk or drive to provide pet care.
About: As the title says, full-tume dog dad and proud of it. Volunteered at Muttville for some time before adopting two more (a Maltese from the shelter and a Boxer/Pitbull who followed me home.) Have effectively trained three small dogs to follow me off-leash, with one being my neighbors' Maltipoo as well. I manage to take my over-active dogs on at least 2 walks per day, with the usual three, though Ive been known to include my neighbors dog and/or I happen to be fostering at that time. All small dogs within my care have been taught to walk off-leash safely. I have a small studio where all three dogs live in relative harmony. I have introduced my neighbors Maltese, Miko, to all three of my dogs and feel who/how they communicate with best (Ie Miko gets along best with my 80 lb Boxer/Pitbull "Bruno" rather than the other Maltese and Chihuahua I have myself. They play outside and/or cuddle together when my neighbors are out of town.) Any dog that enters my doors are spoiled beyond belief and if any of my dogs get rowdy, they get put on "Timeout" in the bathroom, rather than in a cage or leashed up outside.
“Clive is very reliable and responsive, great communicator. He did a wonderful job with twice daily drop in visits for our dogs while we were international. Lots of updates and pics, happy dogs and clean house when we got back. Will absolutely hire him for our next vacation!”
“Blessy was great! Our cats really enjoyed her company and she followed instructions really well. Would love to book her again to take care of our kitties when we’re out of town”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and understand the love, attention, and care they deserve as members of the family. In addition to my personal experience, I previously worked at a dog boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I also volunteered at Pets Unlimited in San Francisco, where I helped care for animals and gained additional experience working with pets in a professional setting. I currently have a friendly Golden Retriever named Whiskey, who is well-socialized and enjoys the company of other dogs. I have also successfully boarded dogs in my home with Whiskey and always prioritize safe introductions and a comfortable environment for everyone. My goal is to provide your pet with the same level of care, attention, and affection that I give my own dog, so you can feel confident they are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available on weekends and can provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your dog enjoys relaxing at home, playing, or getting out for adventure, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I love spending time outdoors and can take dogs on walks, hikes, and other fun activities to help them stay active and engaged. I also have a friendly Golden Retriever named Whiskey who loves meeting other dogs. If your pup enjoys canine companionship, Whiskey is a great playmate and helps create a welcoming, social environment. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and has a great time while in my care. I live in a townhouse community with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and several nearby walking trails for exercise and enrichment. Dogs in my care receive regular outdoor time, walks, and attention based on their individual energy levels and needs. My home provides a safe, comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home while you’re away.
About: My family had cockapoo named Dobby growing up, and I’ve been dogsitting since moving away from home to get my dog fix! I’m looking to find more four legged friends in the area :) I was a local dogsitter in Austin for two years with regular families before moving to Denver. For my previous dog sitting positions, I’ll typically live and stay the night at the family’s home for weekends while they’re gone. I take their dog on walks and adventures to local hiking areas. At the end of the day the dog and I cuddle on the couch together! I’ll treat your dog like they’re a part of my family! I have a wide variety of experience with dogs of many different ages and breeds: puppies to senior dogs!
“Again, Perry did an amazing job walking my 2.5 year old American Eskimo. Ocean has a handful of special monitoring needs due to a chronic GI condition and his playful interest in exploring, if not trying to consume, anything. Perry is extremely conscienscious and is very alert to Ocean's behaviors. Perry is also wonderful at making sure my dog is properly back in his kennel area when he drops off and leaves. Ocean is also over the top happy and excited the moment he realizes Perry is coming to walk and play with him. Its been really wonderful and a relief to know I have Perry onboard to walk and care for my boy.”

Brittany is amazing! She cared for my anxious senior dog on very last minute-short notice and was extra sweet with her, giving her all of the extra love and attention that small senior dogs require! Brittany is quite the animal whisperer, because both my cat and dog immediately warmed up to her and wanted all of her attention, which is not the norm, and after she left, my anxious little babe was as calm and peaceful as I have EVER seen her!! 5 stars! We will definitely keep Brittany as our top choice for dog visits!
Aaron communicates in a timely manner, leaves thorough check-in updates through photos, and demonstrates a high-degree of care and responsibility. Most importantly, he is patient and respects cats’ space, not forcing an interaction while also taking the time to try and make my very shy cat feel comfortable. Aaron gets the job done, taking care of his food and litter area, never cutting corners on cleanliness. I also appreciate his flexibility when I had to make a last minute service change. Aaron’s level of care gives me 100% peace of mind when I’m away from my home and cat.
Blessy was fantastic! I booked a sitter for 2 guinea pigs very last minute and she was available for both a first meeting and the dates I requested. She was incredibly responsive and had great communication. I even made a mistake while booking and she pointed it out to me and clarified! She was incredibly sweet and attentive, sending me updates and keeping the piggies happy. She also cleaned more than I asked her to! Would definitely rebook with her. Thanks Blessy!
Sarah has been so wonderful!! She’s so patient and really lets my anxious dog set the pace. He started off very nervous and has warmed up to Sarah overtime. Her detailed summaries and photos are also so helpful and give me so much peace of mind. I will be booking with her again!
Tim was wonderful! He is such a nice guy and he was great with my dogs! I have four and they tend to be hyper and excited when they met new people, Tim handled them great! He made sure they got some playtime in the backyard, and they were extra loved on! I love his photos and videos he would send too!
Ben has been extremely communicative and flexible leading up to and through out our scheduled drop-in visits for my Labrador retriever. He asked great questions. He was reliable so that I trusted my dog in his care for multiple days in a row. I am very happy to have Ben as our dog sitter.
Mystyc (and Jai) took excellent care of our two cats while we were away for 3 weeks! They followed all instructions perfectly, were awesome at sending over regular reports and photos during the scheduled check-ins and even helped to take packages in. I came back to neat litterboxes and our cats were happy and purring. Thank you Mystyc!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Brisbane is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $50 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 11,758 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Brisbane. 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 Brisbane. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
