Eva is truly an angel! My sweet kitty passed away while Eva was caring for him. He was older and not that well but his passing was unexpected. Eva did everything right. She went above and beyond and it put me at ease to know that she was there for him. She is simply the best. She loves the animals she cares for as if they were her own. Eva has been our preferred sitter for a few years, she trustworthy and sweet. Thank you a million times Eva!

About: Pets have always been part of my life. I've had dogs, cats, goldfish, betta fish, hamsters, bunnies, and chinchillas. Currently in my care are the adorable bunny brother-and-sister duo I call the Wonder Twins, a senior Staffie mix who doesn’t like going down the shore so we’re weekend buddies, and Sassafrass, the “fraidy" cat. Each of these animals has its own rhythm and needs, and I've learned to pay close attention to what makes each one comfortable, whether that's a quiet room, a clean habitat, or a gentle, familiar routine. Since I'm retired, my days have a lot of natural flexibility built in. I can offer morning, midday, and evening visits throughout the week, not just squeezed-in slots around a nine-to-five. Pet care isn't something I fit around my life. It's become one of the things I structure my life around, alongside my own dog, Mojo. All of my care happens in your home, not mine. I come to you for dog walks and feeding visits, so your pet stays in their own familiar space with their own food, bed, and routine. For dogs, that means a walk at their pace around your neighborhood. For cats and smaller pets, it means fresh food and water, litter box or habitat cleaning, and some quiet one-on-one attention. At this time, I don't board pets in my own home. Keeping care in your space is part of what keeps things low-stress for your pet and simple for you.

Elissa was great. She was friendly and asked a lot of questions during the meet and greet. During the drop in, she gave the pups good playtime outdoors and they ate well. Arya and Yoshi had no signs of stress when we arrived home.

Geoff took excellent care of our two cats, Dexter and DeeDee, while we were away on vacation for a week. He was reliable, followed all of our instructions, and kept us updated after each visit with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book Geoff again. Highly recommended!

Nicole is so patient, kind, and friendly. My pets are all older and I could immediately see upon meeting her that she would be the best fit. My apartment was tidy and the dishes she used were washed and on the counter. I couldn't have asked for anything better. I highly recommend Nicole!

Stef, as always did an amazing job caring for our pets. She usually watches our energized pup but this time watched our quiet elusive cat. Stef kept up with food, water, litter box and played with our Harper (when she was willing to come out). We also appreciated that she noticed a lamp running too hot and turning it off, or turning on AC for our cat on a hotter day. We always know we can rest easy when Stef is caring for our pets.

Michael did a fantastic job with drop-in visits to take care of our 3 cats while we were gone on vacation! When our usual sitter was unavailable, I was nervous about having a new person take care of them, but he was incredible! Michael was very professional and communicated well the entire time with daily pictures and detailed updates. The cats are generally nervous around new people, but he made them feel comfortable with all their favorite things and treats. I was also happy he stopped by to meet the cats and to let me show him around before the first visit. Would definitely have Michael care for the trio again!

Mark is excellent with dogs, doesn't over-push but gradually earns their trust. Mark came through for us when we were running out of options to attend a family gathering out of state, and he turned out being the best option for our shy dog. I could tell she became more relaxed as visits went on. It was such a relief to have her in good hands. We will definitely hope to have Mark care for her again!

Jonny did an excellent job of caring for our boy Royal. He gave us constant up dates even down to how many times he went to the bathroom. I really felt comfortable leaving Royal with Jonny he is so calm,cool, and collected I know it made our pup feel secure. Do not have any worries about your pet when they are in Jonny's care.

Peter was great and I would definitely book with him again. He was very thorough, prompt, and followed all of my instructions exactly. I really appreciated the detailed notes he left after each visit, and it was clear from his updates that he took his time and genuinely interacted with my animals instead of just rushing through the visits. He made me feel comfortable knowing my animals were taken care of, and everything was handled professionally from start to finish. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and great with pets.

Kelly is the absolute best. This was our first time on Rover, and her communications were clear and quick, and she did great work reassuring us that our pup was in good hands. Loved the photographs, and really appreciated the time she took to communicate with us by phone and by text. We’re only slightly concerned that our pup now likes her more than us! 😀 Hugely impressed with Kelly - she’ll take fab care of your pups.

About: I have always been involved in pet care in my home for over 15 years. I have had experience with elderly dogs and cats of my own. I have pet-sitted in my neighborhood for puppies and for breeds different from my own dogs. I will use my energy to play with your pet and hopefully decrease their energy. I have a very flexible schedule since graduating college and applying to graduate school nearby. I have lots of time and availability for stop-ins during the day or bringing study materials to a client’s home. My yard is fenced in and I can take dogs for a walk in Brookdale Park nearby. I will administer medicine and play with dogs and provide them with a cuddly environment.

About: Having grown up on a farm and surrounded by various animals, my pet care experience is extensive and deeply ingrained. From nurturing newborn alpacas to handling our pets everyday needs, I have a wealth of knowledge in tending to their well-being. Additionally, having cherished pets of my own over the years has further honed my understanding of their unique requirements and behaviors. My background instills confidence in providing compassionate and skilled care for any furry or feathered companion that comes my way. As a software engineer with a wonderfully flexible schedule, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine. My love for animals makes them an essential part of my life, and I prioritize their well-being with the same dedication I give to coding. Whether it's feeding my pets, taking them for refreshing walks, or engaging in playtime, I ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. It's a win-win situation that keeps me both productive and connected to nature. Living on the second floor of a quiet community with a courtyard just outside my door and nearby woods, I provide attentive pet care both at home and for clients. In my home, I ensure pets have a comfortable and secure space to relax, whether it's a cozy pet bed or their own crate if preferred. Regular walks and adventures in the nearby woods offer them ample exercise and stimulation. With plenty of playtime, love, and a variety of pet toys on hand, I make sure they feel right at home and well-cared for throughout their stay.

Tirzah did an exceptional job taking care of my kitties. McLovin connected with her instantly, and she always played with him which he loves. Ms. Vanjie takes more time to get close to new people but Tirzah was patient and gave Vanj the space to come out and play when she was ready. I felt really good on my trip knowing our babies were safe and in good hands

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Brookdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Brookdale on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 12,046 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Brookdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Brookdale. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
