About: I have always been an animal lover from a very young age! I currently have 3 dogs , 1 mini poodle (female 11) , 1 dachshund (male 6) , and 1 chuweenie ( female 8) , I as well have a cat (female 3) that I rescued as a kitten! I currently work a part-time job at a dental office as a receptionist, my weekly schedule for work is Monday - Thursday from noon- 5:30pm which gives me the mornings and evening to look after your fur babies if and when needed! I have a nice sized yard and I live in a very quiet and pleasant neighborhood to walk your dog! Growing up my mom was a house keeper so from a very young age I was taught how to keep any space whether it was my home or another’s nicely organized and cared for! Respect will always been shown to you and your pets while you are away!
“I booked Sin Hang last minute once I realized I desperately need help with my new rescue. She was very responsive, easy to communicate, and non-judgemental. I highly recommend this sitter.”
“Sofia was great. She asked good questions, followed instructions, and filled in some gaps that I didn't think to write down. The animals clearly loved her and barely seemed to notice that we'd been gone when we got back. Very trustworthy and kind to our pets.”
“Vanessa was very communicative around planning the visit and she was also very respectful of my cat’s boundaries around new people! She also was skilled in giving my cat her medication with minimal resistance haha. Thank you for taking care of her!”
“Samantha was so so great with our dog! Our husky can be a diva and she was so patient and communicative with us while we were away. It was so great knowing that our dog was so excited to see her every time she checked in.”
“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 has been caring for my senior cat a few times now. She adheres to the feeding schedule which is important for my cat’s health. Appreciate the daily communication and pictures as well as bringing in my mail. Lydia is my first choice to visit my cat.”
“As usual Shao is the best! She dropped by to spend time with ozzy while I worked a very long shift. She walked, fed, gave his medicine, comforted and spent time with him. Ozzy is my senior dog that requires very specific care and she always does the best job taking care of him just as I would do. Shao always updates me consistently with photos and videos of what they’re up to, Ozzy always looks genuinely happy and comfortable, which is so so important because he gets very bad anxiety. Whenever I get home after Shao dropped by he always looks very peaceful and rested. Thank you Shao! Highly recommend!”
“Samantha was wonderful with my pets. My cats require a few extra steps since they do not get along very well, but she followed my instructions perfectly without any issues. She was very communicative, arrived when she said she would, and most importantly, I came home to two happy cats. I would absolutely recommend Samantha, and she will be the first person I reach out to next time I need a sitter.”

“Christal was great with Koda! I always stress leaving him behind when I travel, but Christal was able to keep my well informed with detailed updates, photos, and videos of koda throughout the booking! Koda was in a really great mood when I came back!! Would recommend Christal!”
“Sandra was an excellent sitter - she updated me in detail with every visit, made sure my kitty was equipped with food, water, and fresh litter, and always tried to socialize with her even when she was being a grump. She also was very flexible and extremely helpful when my schedule changed last minute - she truly saved my skin! I cannot recommend Sandra enough!”

About: Veterinary technician with 5+ years of clinical veterinary experience and 11+ years of hands-on animal care. I bring more than a love for animals. I bring professional experience caring for pets with a wide range of medical, behavioral, and everyday needs. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets, anxious pets, special-needs pets, and pets who require medications or closer monitoring. My clinical background has taught me to notice subtle changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall wellbeing that can easily be missed. I’m reliable, attentive, and comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Whether your pet needs overnight companionship, routine care, or a little extra attention while you’re away, my priority is keeping them safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I work Monday through Thursday during the day, so I’m available for evening and overnight care on those days, including drop-ins after 5:30 PM. I have more open availability Friday through Sunday and can accommodate a wider range of schedules. I prioritize reliability, consistency, and clear communication. As a veterinary technician, safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow each pet owner’s instructions, including feeding routines, walk preferences, and any specific care needs. I’m attentive to behavior and body language to ensure pets are comfortable and secure at all times. I’m experienced with crating if requested and always make sure pets are in a clean, calm, and safe environment. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with both attention and professional awareness.
About: I'm a dog lover looking to take care of community pets to ensure that they're dogs are taken care of like how I was able to care for my own dog. I have owned my own pets, including a dog for over 16 years.

I can host your pet at my house or sit at your house, whichever is more comfortable for your pet. I am also available to drop in and take your pet out for a walk, play, and socialize so they don't get lonely. I do request that dog boarding requests be discussed with me 48 hours prior to drop off date so that I can make sure that I am available and can accommodate your pet and their needs. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brisbane
Hiromi is the best! She is kind, trustworthy, and genuine. She showed care for our cats, Momo and Buddy, as well as their environment. She prioritizes our cat's safety, cleanliness, and wellbeing. She easy to communicate with, reliable, resourceful, and accommodating. We were very fortunate that Hiromi was available during our emergency booking. Will definitely book her services again because of her attentiveness and her quick response to our concerns. Thank you Hiromi for your kindness!
This was our second time booking with Lydia and she was amazing with our cats. One of our cat requires oral medication and Lydia was able to administer it perfectly. She was very thorough and made sure to take multiple photos of the cats. We would definitely recommend Lydia!
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!!
I cannot recommend Shao highly enough! She took incredible care of my two high-energy dogs, one of whom can be very anxious with new people. She was incredibly gentle, respectful of their boundaries, and professional from the moment she arrived. She kept me completely at ease by sending frequent, beautiful photo and video updates throughout the visit. It is so rare to find someone who truly understands a dog’s behavior and can instantly earn the trust of anxious pets. She is an absolute gem, and I will definitely be booking her again!
Christal was great with Koda! I always stress leaving him behind when I travel, but Christal was able to keep my well informed with detailed updates, photos, and videos of koda throughout the booking! Koda was in a really great mood when I came back!! Would recommend Christal!
She was very thorough and took good care of our cats!! Both of our cats are a handful but she managed to look after them with ease. She made sure to interact a lot with them during the short amount of time she had with them each day, and I appreciate that she asked us a lot of questions when she needed more clarification on something. We would definitely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Brisbane on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 11,747 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Brisbane. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Brisbane stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 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.
