“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!”
“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.”

About: I've been caring for dogs for over 12 years and have experience with all breeds and sizes, from small puppies to large dogs. I'm patient, dependable, and treat every dog like family. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or providing lots of attention, I focus on making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I am currently working from home, and have the flexibility to step out to take care of your loved ones. I have my own car to get around as needed. I have a fenced yard for my two dogs as well as crates for them to sleep in. Both dogs are very friendly just young and a little crazy.
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I'm an animal lover who enjoys spending time with both cats and dogs. I have several years of experience fostering pets and caring for animals with different personalities and needs. I'm also an experienced photographer, so you can expect plenty of high-quality photos and videos while you're away - I love keeping pet parents updated and reassured! I'm patient, attentive, and always focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I'm constantly learning more about animal behavior and love growing alongside the pets I look after. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. I'm available for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I always make sure pets get consistent care, playtime, and companionship, and I communicate clearly with pet parents about timing and availability. I focus on keeping pets safe and comfortable in their own home environment by following all care instructions closely and respecting household routines. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes, keep litter boxes and feeding areas clean, and monitor pets carefully for any signs of stress or discomfort. I always communicate clearly and send frequent photo and video updates for peace of mind.
“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.”
“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.”
“I highly recommend Jie！My two dogs received the care and attention they needed！ Jie is very friendly, trustworthy and dependable. She is prompt and update me when I’m out of town which is always comforting. You will not be disappointed.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brisbane
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!
Blessy was great! Super communicative before, after and during the week she looked after my cat. She even did some light cleaning since the litter tends to track so I didn’t come home to cat litter everywhere. Highly recommend to anyone looking for 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!
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!
Jasmine (Jie) was a wonderful sitter for our cat. We booked 2 weeks of drop in visits while we were traveling and she went above and beyond. Our cat loved her and we could travel with a peace of mind since we knew she was taking good care of her. She is very attentive and also very responsive to messages. She would notice little details and changes in our cat and let us know immediately. We would love to keep working with Jasmine in the future!
Christine is fantastic! Kind, professional, and communicative. She is so loving with our dog! She did drop in visits/walks and in addition to caring for our pup, also worked on leash training with her. She gave us a full download on exactly how things went with training and what to keep working on. It’s clear Christine is passionate about her work and we’re happy for our pup to be with her any time!

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.
