“Kai and Devon were great pet sitters for us during the week that we were away on vacation! They communicated well with us and provided updates on how our pets were doing. They kept our house clean and even took the time to wash sheets, towels, and blankets before they left. Overall they did a great job for us and we would definitely book them again!”
“Carol was by far the best sitter we have ever had and was an absolute angel by willingly taking our dog to the emergency vet and sitting with him for 4 hours on the last night of her stay. We were being overly cautious but following the recommendation of our vet to bring him in (not because of anything she did) and Carol was a great partner in this in making sure I was on the phone in the room and also providing necessary inputs. Throughout the trip, though, she was extremely communicative and extremely attentive to every one of our requests and following his routine. Brody is a very needy boy, but she handled him so well and provided excellent care. Could not recommend her enough and will be using her in the future!”
“Catherine was amazing!! The dogs loved her and felt so comfortable with her while we were away. She was right on time, very neat and really went the extra mile in straightening up before leaving! We will definitely be using her again❤️.”
“Angela went above and beyond while staying with my two old dogs for the weekend. She provided updates with pictures, managed my dogs meds, and kept them calm and comfortable while I was away (despite anxiety, storms, and fireworks!). I knew I didn’t need to worry about my dogs at all while they were in Angela’s care. I came home to two calm pups and an immaculate house. I feel we hit the jackpot with Angela!”
“Paz took copious notes during our initial meeting. She was on time and took great care of our energetic puppy. Paz checked in daily and texted picks of our puppy on walks, getting meals and cuddles. I miss my dog terribly when I'm away traveling, but it was comforting to know she was well loved in my absence.”
“Leigh was great! She stayed in our house with our two dogs and was punctual, communicative, and left the house nice and tidy! She sent us photos of the dogs throughout the day and we felt they were in good hands while we were gone! We would definitely use her services again!”
“I so appreciate Erin staying with Marley this weekend when I had a last minute trip booked. She was prompt to communicate and sent me pics to so I knew my pup was enjoying his hang out time. I will definitely use Erin again”
“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! 🐾”
“Mary was absolutely amazing and took really good care of my Furbaby. This was our first experience with house sitting, using someone who wasn't a family member. However, from the first video chat, we knew that Mary was the best person for the job. She has such a sweet and calming demeanor, which helped to ease all of our nervousness. Mary sent us daily updates and pictures, which showed how happy and at ease my dog was. Mary went above and beyond and we are forever grateful to her. Mary is officially a part of our family and we will definitely be using her for all of our future trips.”
“Tristyn was a godsend. We needed last minute doggy care at our house for our little spaniel. Tristyn immediately responded with warmth, knowledge and understanding. The next day she arrived right on time, had a gentle energy and took care of our pet. Her rate was reasonable. Her personality was pleasant and respectful. I am so lucky I have her to count on in the future. Thanks Tristyn.”
About: I have always had a genuine love for animals, and I’ve been around them my entire life! Caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy, and I will always treat your dog as if they were my own. As an experienced pet sitter, I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m happy to stick to their usual routine—whether that means morning walks, playtime, couch cuddles, or everything in between! I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need extra patience, play, and attention to senior pups who may need a slower pace, medication, or a little extra TLC! Most importantly, my goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, cuddles, and lots of love! 🐶💕 I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care! I work M/W/F from 12:30-4:30 and T/Th from 8-1. Outside of those hours, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feedings, overnight care, and, of course, lots of love and attention!🐾 When caring for your pets in your home, I want them to feel as comfortable and safe as possible while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely and stick to your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if required, and bedtime routines. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect that I would my own. I’m mindful of keeping doors and gates secure, making sure pets are safe both inside and outside, and keeping their environment clean and comfortable.I also understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet and home in someone else’s care. I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages throughout your time away so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is happy, safe, and getting lots of love! 🐶❤️
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: From puppies to older dogs, I've done it all: taking puppies out every 2 hours at night, specific medications at certain times throughout the day, to planned walks/runs. I have experience with puppy training fostering and now I'm training my own kitten. I'm a senior college student who has a lot of time to spare- especially on weekdays! I'm always available to take dogs on walks, jogs, or just for a quick little stop in. Treating fur-babies like my own has always been an easy feat for me. When it comes to home saftey, whether it be my own or a clients, simple communication goes a long way. House rules, schedules and specifications are always a big thumbs up from me!

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!
We are so happy to have found Paige to watch our two girls, Gracie and Scout. Paige was wonderful with the girls, taking them on walks and cuddling in front of the tv, and kept us updated with texts and lots of pictures. It was such a good feeling to know our girls were safe and happy while we were away.
Opeyemi did a wonderful job taking care of our multi pet household. He was very intentional about asking questions and clarifying instructions before we left, gave us frequent, detailed updates and left the house near and clean. We will definitely rebook with him!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
