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 am starting graduate school and I have a flexible schedule 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.

“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!”

About: I have been in the care-giver business for years. I’ve not only loved , rescued and nurtured many furry friends , but have been entrusted with elderly loved ones. Every human, pet and critters are blessings and need to be treated as such. Your pet and their needs are of the utmost importance to me. I am confident you will be happy with my service. Thank you. We will work together on any appointments and you will be informed up front if our schedules don’t coincide. I have a very flexible schedule and am sure I will be able to accommodate you. I care for pets in their homes and if a small dog needs walking, I am happy to do so as long as he or she is used to being walked and has been used to that environment. Safety for your pets are of the utmost importance.

I had a family emergency and kept having to extend days to be out of town and Michael went above and beyond to care for my cats. Thank you Michael!!”

“Caitlin is wonderful, bright, cheery, and great with my Selina (2 year old, bougie kitty). Selina takes a while to warm up to someone new, so I asked Caitlin to do 30 minute drop-ins while I was away for Labor Day weekend. By the time I returned Selina was giving up the tummy to Caitlin for belly rubs. :) We are ready for my 2 weeks in India now. Caitlin is excellent with the daily communication and pics, and was even concerned to take my trash out worried about the possible smell from the litter scoopings. I was worried about finding a solid replacement for my previous cat sitter. I am worried no more. Thanks, Caitlin!”

“Cassie did a wonderful job caring for my two Persian cats for the week I was out of the country. I enjoyed meeting her initially because I could see she was conscientious and friendly. My cats loved her visits since she played with them and let my cat sit on her lap (which is her favorite thing to do). I appreciated that she took the time to check on the upstairs water bowl and keep the litter box clean. Everything was in order when I returned and I was grateful that Cassie brought in a package that was delivered. Cassie is an excellent sitter that you can trust with your pets.”

About: I’ve had family pets since birth, growing up with 3 dogs, and caring for family + friend’s animals on the side. I’m a cat owner with an ex stray and senior cat who knows a lot about reactive pets, and can provide compassionate care for animals of all emotional experiences. I worked with EASEL animal rescue in Ewing, NJ with their dog walking and cat adoption events. I have experience working with dogs and cats of all ages, and have a car. I’m a college student with a car, *****and a flexible schedule. I have breaks in between classes I can drop in for walks, and on most days I can spend extended time with your fur baby!! I approach all animals with a genuine curiosity. W/ your help I get to know your animal well and will learn quickly what treats, food + handling style they love. I carry extra treats on me and make sure to win your pet over, and keep them company while you’re away. ** I’m an extremely neat person as well, I will leave your home cleaner than I found it!

“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 loveee animals. I grew up with many pets from cute little bunnies, turtles, lizards, birds, dogs and everything in between. I’m very caring which will show in everything I do. Your babies will be my babies, I promise :) I currently work full-time as an elementary teacher. I’m available for boarding your babes on weekends, and weekdays after 4pm. Sometimes I’m off on holidays and I would board then as well. We will always have a great time. Your babe will be free to roam my apartment under my supervision, of course. I also have a large yard, but will keep him on a leash. I can also crate him or her if you prefer. Either way, we will have tons of fun together.

This was the first time Krystie took care of our two cats and I am so happy we found her. She came for a meet & greet to get to know the cats and their routine before we left. She took great care of our two boys and they seemed to have bonded quickly with her. She engaged them in play and cuddles and left everything very neat and clean. We will definitely book with her again. Thank you 💖

Jonny was a lifesaver and helped with my cat, Bonnie, who’s suffering from terminal cancer. He’s gentle, kind, and highly reliable. As Bonnie deals with her daily hardships, Jonny’s calm and considerate energy helped her stay calm during medicine time, which was really appreciated. Highly recommend him!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ She went above and beyond caring for my two cats! She came to my home twice a day and was incredibly attentive, reliable, and thoughtful. She sent me pictures and updates during every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My cats seemed very comfortable and happy with her, and she even cleaned up after them and left everything nice and tidy. I truly appreciated how much care and attention she gave them. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter. I will definitely be booking her again! 🐾💕

Siara did an amazing job looking after our 2 cats for a week. On top of the usual (food, water, litter), she made sure to spend some time with cats and do what they wanted to do, be that brushing, playing, petting, or anything in between. She even got our very shy girl to warm up to her in just a couple of days! She was also super thoughtful and flagged an issue with automatic feeder that we missed and helped us ensure our cats were getting their meals dispensed on time. She also provides detailed reports and tons of pictures, and is great at prompt and timely communication. We hate leaving our cats home alone, but with Siara we felt they were well taken care of and would definitely book Siara again in the future!

Once again, Karen is the absolute best! She was a bit concerned that my pet , Sheba was not using the bathroom and contacted us for her usual habits so we could get to the bottom on it. Sheba did well after that and was happy upon our return from vacation.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Brookdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Brookdale on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 12,568 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.
