“Kristine was incredible. She went above and beyond to provide updates and pictures of our dog and cat while we were out of town. The level of care and love she showered our pets with was wonderful. We will absolutely be using Kristine for future house sitting needs.”
“Angel did a FANTASTIC job taking care of my canine brood acommodated my urgent, last minute request to meet and start. Angel heard/understood everything I needed/wanted for my pups (good listener) I felt safe/confident leaving Angel in my house w/ my pups as I headed back to work. Angel is an outstanding communicator via in-person convo, texts, pics, and videos everyday throughout the day reassuring me of my pups heath & happiness. Angel is bright, respectful, responsible, considerate, honest, and hard working. I'd definitely rehire Angel. Thanks from the Family Jones !!!”
“Caroline was a wonderful sitter! She took great care of our dog and went above and beyond to accommodate unexpected situations. We felt extremely comfortable having her and are grateful for the many ways she helped us when we were traveling. We highly recommend her!”
“Edek is a STELLAR person, fur baby lover, and photographer. The words that best describe this sitter? Detail-oriented, intelligent, hard working, bubbly/optimistic, empathetic. I have always felt guilty leaving my babies, even with full time sitters. Not once did I feel that way when I booked with Edek! Every day I got updates, multiple photos of their care, and cute pictures that absolutely captured my 4 baby’s personalities. I was able to enjoy my vacation and relax for the first time in years. What a gift. I absolutely will be booking with Edek again- I cannot sing high enough praises. My babies were calm and playful when I returned (as if I never left), the house was even cleaner than I left it, and my camera now has wonderful pictures to show people when they ask about my pets❤️”
“Paula is the most amazing sitter I could ever ask for! She sends updates, photos and even takes the cutest polaroid's with her camera for us! She is beyond attentive, thoughtful and actually interacts with my puppy Kona and gives him all the attention he needs since he has a lot of energy. 10/10 would recommend her to everyone!”
About: I have taken care of fur babies for over 18 years. I care for senior and puppies alike. I truly enjoy the presence of animals. I work from home so my full attention will be for your furry family members. Playtime and quiet time will be essential for their care. I will provide a structured agenda that includes playtime, mental stimulation and quiet time. I also can provide any treats and medication to your fur baby.
“If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would. Megan went above and beyond for our pups and we are so grateful to her for showering our pups with love while we were away. Great communication, left the house spotless, and sent pictures every day. We will definitely contact her again for any future needs.”
“Emily did an amazing job caring for my Phoebie girl! She kept me informed throughout her stay with regular updates, photos, and even pictures from their walks, which gave me so much peace of mind. Phoebie can be a little anxious and shy at times, but Emily was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding with her. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about making Phoebie feel comfortable and loved. I felt completely at ease knowing my girl was in such trustworthy hands. Emily went above and beyond, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and attentive to care for their pet. I will definitely be booking with Emily again! 🐾💖”
“Mallory took great care of our dogs for a weekend while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures of them & responded quickly & took action when one of our dogs broke through the neighbors fence she was able to get them back quickly & even fixed our fence for us. We would recommend Mallory to anyone!”
“Alicia was awesome. We booked a weekend trip about a week in advance & Alicia made sure to make my booking work. She was very attentive to all my animals and I came back to a clean home with happy pets. Thank you very much for the hard work because I know multiple pets aren’t easy! I would recommend and I will be rebooking with her next trip!”
“Erica was awesome! She did a walk-through with us using the video chat feature in Rover, which worked really well. Erica did everything we asked, sent us pictures of our doggies and left our home just the way we left it. It was like no one was here. I will definitely book her again. Thanks, Erica!”
About: I’m a professional dog walker since 2021. I’m working on extending my weekday services permanently to Tacoma (Spring 2027), but I currently offer weekend or off-hours visits. I specialize in small group dog walks or drop-ins. Now offering short or extended cat care. I also offer my experience with reptiles and other small critters or creepy crawlers. I work full time as a dog walker during the week through a small company in Seattle. I’m now accepting new weekend and off-hours clients in Tacoma until I can commit full time I have two reactive rescue dogs so am experienced with pets with behavioral needs and understand the worry and concern of trusting someone to make sure your pet stays safe during a walk or visit. Can care for professional escape artists, behavioral issues, or pets with special needs/medical care.
“Halston was fantastic! He followed every single instruction I left for my dog and made sure he stayed on his routine, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. His communication was excellent. He sent regular updates with photos and videos, so I always knew how my pup was doing. Most importantly, it was clear how much he truly cared for my dog. When I came home, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. I will absolutely be booking again. Thank you so much!”
About: I helped my parents raise 4 litters of miniature dachsunds, all pure-bred and all sent to loving homes with good training. I've sat for all kinds of dogs - different breeds, sizes, personalities - and I love spending time with dogs and learning their pack mentality! I've watched big dogs like Irish Wolfhounds, Pit Bulls, Labradors and Akitas. I've watched dogs not only overnight but for a couple weeks at a time (vacation time for the "parents!").
About: I've spent year carrying for pets of my own and understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after them. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic routines, and giving pets plenty of attention while their family is away. I'm patient, responsible, and will follow your care instructions closely so your pets can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I work during the school day, which leaves me available for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and on many weekends. I can provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and other scheduled care around my work schedule. I keep my Rover availability updated so pet patents can easily see when I'm available. Your pet's safety and comfort are my priorities. I carefully follow each pet parent's instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, doors, gates, crates, and interactions with other animals. I take time to learn each pet's personality and needs, provide attentive supervision, and will communicate with you throughout their care so you know how they're doing.
“Ashleigh is so great! We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She watched our pup, Nova, for several days while we were out of town for a wedding. We’d never left our girl behind while traveling so we were nervous to say the least. Ashleigh went above and beyond to make us and Nova feel comfortable. She even met Nova a few days before we left so they could warm up to each other. Nova loved her instantly! She left our apartment exactly how we left it and even sent us pictures and updates every day. We will definitely be keeping her in mind for future trips!”

Brandie was amazing for us and our pup! We were gone for 8 days, our longest trip without our dog and Brandie did such a good job with sending us pictures and updates. She also took care of my large amount of house plants, which was a huge bonus. Highly recommend booking with Brandie!
Fawn was super kind and communicative. This was the first time in 10+ years that we have left our animals and the pictures and updates put us at ease. When we got home you could tell the animals were well taken care of. We will for sure be reaching back out if we need help with our animals again.
Kaitlin is everything you would want in a pet sitter! Efficient communication, punctual and so very sweet to our animal crew! She sent pictures daily and was very detailed to ensure our large (and very medicated crew) was taken care of properly. We can't wait to have her back.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Brookdale is $55 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
