“Joey is absolutely wonderful! Our three Labrador boys really loved him and it put our minds at ease. He was very professional and made sure to re-visit our home before we left on our vacation so our boys could meet him again and to learn their schedule and ask questions. We had zero concerns while we were away which was very nice. He also sent us amazing photos of our boys every day. When we returned, the house was pretty much in the same shape as we left it. It was a great surprise to not have to come home to a mess. We could go on and on about how wonderful he is but overall, if you are looking for a great dog sitter, we would definitely recommend Joey!”
“Marty is amazing! We always feel so confident and comfortable when she stays in our home with our elderly pups. She is flexible, supportive and so sweet. Thank you Marty!”
“Camille was amazing!!! She took great care of our chihuahua while we were away. I never once had to worry about a thing as I knew my pup was in great hands! The photos that were sent to us were amazing and also gave us a sense of ease. Will definitely book with Camille again!!! 😄”
“Emily was very communicative and friendly! She took great care of our three pets and house. Our pets are very needy and require extra attention with medication and she was very attentive and gave them the best care! I will definitely use her as a sitter again!!”
“Ranait was an incredible house sitter for my shy and nervous dog! She had last minute available to help us out in a pinch and was so thoughtful in her communications and updates. She took excellent care of the house and most importantly, my furbaby. We’d use Ranait again in a heartbeat!”
“Maria was great! She took wonderful care of our boy and our home. Definitely put my mind at ease while we were away for the weekend knowing our dog was being well taken care of. Would definitely recommend and will book again in the future.”
“Karibian is the absolute BEST! It was our first time using house sitting services, and she made us feel so comfortable. Her check-in’s with photos of our babies made us feel so much better about our decision to switch from a boarding facility to a house sitter. You can really tell she loves what she does! And you can tell our furbabies loved her company! She goes above and beyond to make sure our babies are loved when we are away😊”
“Ona is incredible and a dog whisperer. We have a highly anxious dog and Ona took the best care of her, got her to go outside and eat (which can be tough while we are gone). So thankful for her and highly recommended!!!”
“Good communication with Nikki, the house was neat & clean & Daisy well cared for with regular photos and updates. Only issue was our automatic lid opener on our trash can was somwehow not working properly when we returned.”
“We are so very grateful. I was worried I wouldn't be able to vacation with my family due to our elderly dog, but Kate saved the trip. She was kind, helpful, very good with our dogs. She was in communication while we were gone and kept us in the loop. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you!!”
“Christine took great care of our two dogs and our home for a full week. We received updates daily with pictures of the dogs enjoying their time with Christine and came home to the house in fantastic shape. We hope to have Christine again when we’re out of time next!”
“Haley was fantastic with our two dogs! We were concerned about leaving them with someone they didn't know, but she really put our minds at ease. Of course, they loved her! We especially loved getting her photo text updates.”

“Cassidy was great with our 5 month old puppy for a house sit while we had to be out of town for a few days. She sent pics and took him for walks and had plenty of playtime. She also left our house tidy - couldn’t even tell she was there. We’ll definitely have her back again!”

Marina is simply fabulous! She keeps my dog safe, happy, and is very responsive and flexible. She sends pictures regularly and keeps me up to date on how things are going. When we had a mix up and picked him up two hours late, she was flexible and forgiving. I would recommend her to anyone!
I believe we were Tanner’s first dog/ house sitter. He was very attentive to Timber and Timber loved spending time with him. He was a great communicator and texted us if he had any questions. He left the house probably cleaner than we left it and watered our flowers so we didn’t come back to dead flower pots. He was flexible and spent time getting to know us and Timbers routine.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Brookdale on Rover is $32.19 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 541 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brookdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Brookdale walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Brookdale maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Brookdale choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
