This is the third time Paz has taken care of my little, crazy chihuahua. She always does a great job, and puts up with all his bad habits. She is someone I can trust, and will use again.

Kai and Devon were amazing pet sitters! They took very good care of our dog and communicated well. This was our first time using Rover for pet sitting and Kai and Devon were great. They sent pictures as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again!

This was our second time using Carol, and she was fantastic. She is punctual, trustworthy, communicative, friendly, and most importantly, she is wonderful with our dog, Teddy! Carol sends us regular updates and photos of Teddy, and we know he is being well taken care of whenever he is with Carol. We are so grateful to have found her!

About: I feel as though I automatically connect with animals first in a room full of people. I have a deep love for animals. I have been caring for my puggle for about 8 years now, I truly feel as though he is my son. I enjoy spending time with animals of all sorts. In the past, I owned a rabbit, hamsters, fish, cats, hermit crabs, you name it. But, I find that dogs often times have personalities that they portray of the owner when I interact dogs, which I find very amusing. I have a knowledge base of bathing dogs, tick and flea prevention, immunizations, etc. I feel as though I am a very energetic/active individual who would very much enjoy the company of your most trusted companion!

Lisa was amazing with Panda! I booked her with less than a week’s notice, and she was incredibly responsive and professional from the start. She took the time to do both a virtual meet-and-greet and an in-person visit beforehand to make sure she and Panda were a good fit and that she was familiar with everything. During the sitting, she kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She also made sure Panda got plenty of activity, taking him on at least three walks. I would absolutely recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter—I’d definitely book with her again! 🐾

About: I have always felt a special connection with animals and grown up my whole life in a pet household. I have always had cats and small pets but it wasn’t until 5 years ago I finally got my own dog. We rescued him from a traumatic past so he had a lot of anxiety and fear. It taught me so much about caring for a more special needs pet that provided me with more patience, discipline and understanding for animals. I also have an adult cat and these two animals collectively make me so happy. These experiences have led me to want to give back in some way as a pet caregiver! I promise to give your fur babies the best care and love possible and to leave your home as if it were my own! I work shifts as a nurse but have my weekends and nights and a week day free! This schedule while my work days are busy allows me ample time off to care for your pets. Knowing any specifics about your pets such as routine, feeding, potty schedule, medications, personalities, etc is helpful in knowing how to provide the best care possible for them. Whether it is a drop in visit or going on a walk I promise to leave your pet more enriched and fulfilled after the visit than before!

About: I can take any type of animals!! Crazy, big, small, etc. I love em all. I’m very outgoing with them! And love playing and going on walks and talking to the animals!! My mom worked on Rover for a few years and I always helped out when her clients wanted her care but she wasn’t available. We had dogs stay at our house and it was just as fun for me as it was for them! My mom helped me realize this type of job and without a doubt I would love to do what she did! I am currently in an internship in Center City Monday-Friday. But once school starts I’ll be working there part time so my availability will open up more. I have no problem with stopping by in the before and after work to care you your dog/dogs! I am always free Friday into Sunday if you need a caretaker for your pet while you are away. I have them in my view at all times!! I have good communications with dogs and make sure their needs are met by their body language.

Ben was a great sitter for our Italian greyhound! He was very communicative with us which was reassuring - with texts, photos, and videos. He was gentle with our 10 year old pup, who was friendly with Ben right away! Ben was also really responsible staying in our home and left everything very clean. We look forward to having Ben staying with Lucy again soon!

About: I’ve had two of my own dogs and fostered 4 puppies. I’m definitely a hands off kind of sitter, i let the dog come to me on their own terms. If they want to cuddle let’s go if they want to sleep on their bed, jah bless. I love having pets in my space. I adore dogs and need them in my life but i don’t want to my own right now. Your dog helps me keep my day moving. I have a door to the patio outside of my office/bedroom. The only issue would be dogs who can’t do stairs. We have a pee spot in the patio if it’s really bad weather.

About: As long as I can remember I've been an animal lover. I grew up riding horses, working on farms, + living with no less than 3 dogs at a time in my house. As a kid I dreamed of being a veterinarian. I took in all sorts of animals that needed to be nursed back to health from birds + snakes to donkeys + kittens. It was a little like living in a zoo + I loved every second! I rode + trained horses competitively in high school. At 16, I qualified for the junior Olympic team in equestrian eventing. I’m now a mom, my own son is 16, and I own my own photography business capturing families + pets spreading joy + gratitude. Rover is a welcome addition to that career. I absolutely LOVE what I do + am thankful to have the opportunity to support myself + my son serving other animal loving families like us. I work remotely Mondays and Fridays. Tuesday through Thursday I’m in the office 8-5pm in King of Prussia. I’m typically available most weekends but can occasionally offer weekday evening bookings. Safety is a priority for me. I aim to keep your pets routine stable and comfortable so we stick with what they know and don’t try new things until trust has been built.

About: Hi, I’m Tara! I work full time on an early day shift, which leaves me available most afternoons and evenings for drop in visits, walks, and pet care. If you have any questions about my availability or scheduling, don’t hesitate to reach out. I understand that life (and pets!) can be unpredictable. I’ve lived with dogs my entire life and currently have one of my own. My experience spans every stage of life, from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior dogs needing a little extra patience and specialized care. Whether your dog is happiest curled up on the couch or thrives with an active lifestyle, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m experienced with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities, including reactive dogs. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe and understood, and I always prioritize respecting their boundaries while keeping everyone involved safe. In addition to everyday pet care, I have experience with: * Senior dogs with mobility challenges * Medication administration * Canine insulin injections * Canine allergy injections * Puppies and basic puppy care * High-energy and working dogs * Dog sports and active canine lifestyles As a full time Healthcare worker, I’m comfortable following medication schedules, handling medications safely, and paying close attention to detail. You can trust that your pet’s health and routine will be taken seriously. I know emergencies happen, and whenever my schedule allows, I’m happy to work with families who need last minute bathroom breaks or drop in visits. Whether your dog wants to explore the neighborhood, play until they’re tired, practice good manners, or simply enjoy some company and cuddles, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! I understand that unexpected situations happen, so when my schedule allows, I’m happy to help with last-minute drop-in visits or bathroom breaks. I do my best to be flexible while making sure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I work full-time on an early day shift, which allows me to provide pet care during the afternoons and evenings throughout the week. I’m also available some weekends and can often accommodate additional visits with advance notice. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I know every dog is different, so I take the time to understand their personality, preferences, and any special instructions before each visit. During drop-in visits and walks, I treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I’ll make sure your pet has fresh water, receives any requested meals or medications, gets plenty of exercise or enrichment. I have experience working with reactive dogs and always prioritize safe handling, respecting their boundaries, and avoiding situations that could cause unnecessary stress. With my background in healthcare, I’m also comfortable administering medications, including insulin and allergy injections, while following instructions carefully and safely. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands while you’re away.

This was the first time we used Angela for 2 overnights for our doggie and cat. I had selected her based on her stellar reviews and validated references. She not only met but exceeded our expectations on all fronts. Very communicative -providing detailed descriptions of their adventures with pictures and texts. Extremely responsive. Took loving care of our pets and we didn’t need to worry at all. She took our doggie on trips to 2 different parks and around the hood. She followed our suggestions and even went above and beyond our expectations! Angela is thoughtful, caring, mature, responsible and truly loves animals. Both pets were well taken care of and we won’t hesitate to book with Angela again as I now can’t imagine having anyone else care for our furry family members!

Carol cared for our dog for 10 days; she was exceptional! She communicated frequently with updates and photos, and followed my many instructions for pet care perfectly. My dog has serious attachment issues and gets anxious with new people. However, he loved Carol like a family member. Carol went above and beyond the call of duty with her outstanding care of our pet and of our home. Carol is a real treasure!

We set up house sitting for our incredibly sweet, but anxious, mini goldendoodle (Myles) back in March for our July vacation. We wanted to establish a relationship very early on, so when it was time for vacation, Myles would be comfortable and less anxious. Unfortunately, our sitter canceled a week before vacation, basically negating our ability to get Myles comfortable before we left. Backs against the wall, we had to take a huge leap of faith and look into other arrangements, now with virtually no lead-up time to getting Myles acclimated. Benjamin came by way of referral and was only available to take Myles in during our vacation, which was a departure from our plan to have someone come to our home to watch Myles, but given the circumstances, we decided to schedule the meet and greet to see how things would go. During the meet and greet at Ben's home, it was apparent he was special; personable, easy-going, patient, welcoming. It was also clear Myles would have plenty of room to roam and play. Myles was unsurprisingly anxious, but Ben was confident Myles would eventually fit right in with his family and his dogs, one of which is also a goldendoodle! After leaving the meet and greet, we felt optimistic. As expected, at drop-off, Myles was a bit anxious. Ben sent us lots of videos, pics, and updates to show us how things were going. Within an hour or so after dropping off Myles, he started to warm up, and over the next few days, it was clear Myles was fitting right in with, not just Ben, but his dogs, too! Getting daily updates with new pics and videos was such a treat and something we looked forward to while we were away, and Ben never disapointed! When we picked Myles up after vacation, he looked happy and healthy. We have no complaints. We will be sure to use Ben going forward. We felt our fur baby was having his own vacation with Ben while we were away! We couldn't have asked for anything more; simply put, Ben is the best!

Kai and Devon were absolutely fantastic house and pet sitters for us during the first week of June. Our two dogs, Maxx and Dimble, and our two cats, Minne and Xena, were all clearly happy, relaxed, and very well cared for when we got home. It was obvious they got plenty of attention and love. They also took great care of our home. They brought in our mail and packages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away, and kept everything in excellent shape. The house was tidy and just the way we left it, if not better. We felt completely comfortable being away knowing Kai and Devon were in charge. They were reliable, respectful, and clearly take pride in what they do. We would gladly have them house- and pet‑sit for us again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring sitters.

Lisa was fantastic! This was our second time working with her, but our first overnight housesitting stay. A few days before the booking, Panda had a minor injury that required medication and some extra care. Lisa was incredibly flexible and adapted to his updated needs without hesitation. She kept us updated throughout the stay, took great care of Panda, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. We’d absolutely book with Lisa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Brookhaven

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Brookhaven on Rover is $55.5 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 5,414 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brookhaven. 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 Brookhaven 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 Brookhaven 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 Brookhaven 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.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
