“We had a great experience with this husband-and-wife team. They took great care of our cat—feeding him, scooping the litter, and spending time playing and giving him attention. They also sent photos each visit, which we really appreciated, and always made sure to sweep up any litter on the floor. Everything was clean and well cared for when we got home. We’d definitely recommend Lisa and Michael.”

“Amanda took amazing care of all of my animals. I am so grateful that she treated them as if they were her own. Nothing eased my mind better than knowing this while away in another country. Daily updates & photos were eagerly awaited by my daughter, especially. We highly recommend her for watching your fur babies.”

“Christiana was great. She took care of my cat Domino for a week and when I returned he was well fed and well scooped. She kept everything in order and the house and litter box was clean when I got back. I was given good feedback after every visit and she arrived exactly when she was supposed to. Highly recommended!”

About: Hello! I’m new to Rover and would love to have the chance to care for your pets! I have grown up with dogs my whole life, mostly small (i love big dogs too!) and a variety of breeds! I’ve also had experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to senior so I understand the demands of all stages of life. I also have experience training basic commands. In addition to pet care, I also have experience with house cleaning services. If you’d like, I’m happy to provide light or full house cleaning during your booking for an additional charge. Feel free to message me for details! I am currently working full time so my availability is weekday evenings after 5:30 pm, weekends (all day), and Mondays late afternoon-evening after 3 pm I have a fenced in yard with a lot of room for your dog to run around! I have a mini poodle who would never hurt a fly, he’s getting old but still a puppy at heart. He is very friendly and will keep your dog company! With a crate provided, there is room to set that up as well.

About: Being around animals and making them feel happy is the best feeling to have. I have 2 dogs and cat, and they always manage to make my day. I have plenty of great places to adventure with your companion while you are busy! I have school online which makes me completely free! I am studying and practicing things that make me happy with my free time, (which there is plenty of) So, your dog/ cat will fit into my schedule perfectly! I live very close to many dog-friendly parks, and enjoy hiking, especially with a four-legged companion. I will take any opportunity to go on a long walk! It would be nice to take a dog with me sometime. I also bake, and have made dog treats for my Boston Terrier at home who might love peanut butter more than me... I'd love to share my hobbies with your pets!

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our cats received while we were away on our trip. We’ve unfortunately had some bad experiences with pet sitters in the past, so leaving our cats behind has always been something that caused us a lot of anxiety. From the moment we met her, she gave us such a sense of comfort and peace of mind. She was incredibly communicative throughout our entire trip, followed all of our instructions perfectly, and sent us daily videos and updates of the cats. Being able to see them every day and know they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for made such a huge difference while we were away. She was also extremely respectful of our home and left everything clean and exactly as we had left it. Most importantly, our cats absolutely loved her! It was so clear that they were comfortable with her and genuinely enjoyed having her around. We are so grateful we found someone we can truly trust with our cats and our home. After our previous experiences, she completely changed the way we feel about leaving our pets when we travel. We would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, communicative, and trustworthy. We will absolutely be using her again!”

About: I’m passionate about caring for pets and have lots of hands-on experience as a veterinary assistant, helping with feeding, exercise, giving meds, and comforting pups and kitties during check-ups and treatments. I’ve worked with all kinds of animals and love making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. When I’m not helping at the vet, I volunteer at animal sanctuaries, so your furry friend will be in caring and experienced hands! Pet care is a big part of my daily routine—I dedicate time every day to walking, feeding, and playing with animals, whether it’s at the vet clinic, the sanctuary where I volunteer, or with the pets I’m sitting. I make sure every animal gets the attention and care they need to feel comfortable and happy. Weekly, I also stay on top of their health by following medication schedules and monitoring behavior closely. Caring for pets isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my lif When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your furry friend can relax and feel at ease. I follow their usual routines for feeding, exercise, and bathroom breaks, and provide plenty of playtime and affection to keep them happy. I also make sure to monitor their health and behavior closely, so any needs or changes are noticed right away. When visiting your home, I treat your space and pet with the same respect and care. I stick to your pet’s daily schedule—feeding, walking, play, and rest—so they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar surroundings. Whether it’s a quick walk or an extended stay, I’m attentive to your pet’s needs and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Brookhaven

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Brookhaven is $32 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $36 per visit. 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.

As of October 2026, there are 2,338 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Brookhaven. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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.

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

  • 89% 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.

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.
