About: Hi, I’m Hailey! I’m a caring and dependable pet sitter who has experience caring for dogs through dog daycare and kennel work, as well as dog sitting for my aunt. I love making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ll treat your fur babies like my own and make sure they get the care and attention they deserve! 🐾🤍 I’m currently working a part-time job, so I will have more than enough time to stay and play with your fur baby! My calendar will be updated weekly so you can see what days that I am available!! I will make sure your dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own home while you’re away. I’ll follow their usual feeding, walking, and playtime routines, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they have everything they need! I’ll also keep you updated with messages and pictures if you would like so you can feel confident that your babies are in good hands!
“We were so pleased with Mariaisabel. She took such great care of our senior pup, who needs a little extra TLC and attention. She provided great updates and we came home to a happy pup and a home that looked untouched. Would highly recommend her dog sitting services.”
“Sally is great! She has watched my fur baby twice now and both times was very communicative. She shared lots of pictures so I knew my pups were taken care of. She’s super easy going and truly takes care of the fur babies like her own.”
“We had such a great experience with Elizabeth! She took amazing care of our dog, Delilah, while we were away. She made sure Delilah got plenty of playtime, attention, and love, and we could tell she genuinely cared about making her feel comfortable and happy. We also really appreciated all of the updates and pictures she sent—they gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone! We came home to a happy, well-loved pup and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Will was wonderful to work with. Came over for a meet and greet and went over all instructions. He followed them perfectly. Took great care of our dogs and other animals. Spent time playing with the dogs and they seemed very happy! Took lots of pictures and sent lots of detailed updates. The dogs seemed very content when we got home! We plan to use Will services again!”
“Marc was so kind and helpful caring for our pets. Navigated some complications at the start very well. Our cat and Dog loved him! He was also so helpful with some small tasks around the house while we were gone. We will definitely be using him again for our pet and house sitting needs!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for about 3 years, and I also worked at a doggy daycare for a year! During that time, I gained experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Working at a daycare taught me how important patience and understanding are, especially when dogs miss their owners, feel anxious, or don’t want to eat. I know every dog is different, and I always take the time to understand their individual needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, and I treat every pet as if they were my own! I’m currently a college student, so my schedule and availability change each semester depending on my classes. I also work part-time on weekends, but I have free time during the week that I would love to spend caring for dogs! While weekdays are generally easier for me, I’m also open to weekend pet sitting and would be happy to discuss availability in advance. I think pet sitting fits perfectly into my college routine because it allows me to do something I genuinely enjoy while balancing school and work. I love spending time with dogs, and I truly believe their companionship would brighten my day just as much as I hope to brighten theirs! Since I currently live in a college dorm, I only offer pet care in the owner’s home. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe and comfortable, especially when their owners are away. I believe keeping them in a familiar environment and maintaining their usual routine can make a big difference! I’m very respectful of each owner’s home and always make sure to follow any instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs their dog may have. With my previous dog sitting and daycare experience, I know how to be patient with dogs of different personalities and help them feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and responsible hands!
“Kathryn was so great with our pups! She understands dog baby language, is very consistent and detailed in updates, and was so flexible when a storm hit our area while she was watching our dogs.”
“Anna was a very good communicator. It doesn’t appear our dog had any issues adjusting to her, she cleaned up after herself. She sent us pictures everyday and would respond very quickly if we sent a message. She also left us a gift which we thought was very nice.”
“Irma took great care of my dog, house, and plants while I was gone for a long weekend. She checked in often and sent plenty of pictures. I came home to a happy pup and a clean house and will definitely be using her again!”

“Jadyn was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our pets while we were away, and it was clear from the moment we got home how comfortable and happy they were. She also took great care of our house and even left us kind compliments about our home, which was very sweet. Communication was great throughout, and we came back to a happy household and a well-kept home. We'd absolutely book Jadyn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive pet sitter!”
“Anna was amazing with our cat and home. We are so thankful for her care and communication. Her flexibility when our travel plans were delayed was a lifesaver.”
“Frances was Wonderful taking care of my babies while I was on vacation. I was gone for 5 days, and have two dogs….a German Shepherd and a Boxer, and they were well taken care of. I would highly recommend Frances for any of your dog sitting needs and will definitely use her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brookhaven
Kati was amazing! We have a big Rottweiler who can be very shy with strangers and she warmed up to Kati very quickly- she definitely has a way with dogs. She sent pictures and updates throughout our vacation which gave us a ton of peace. The house was beautiful when we got home, too. Highly, highly recommended Kati!
Nat was truly awesome. She gave us frequent updates of our animals - and always asked how we preferred our indoor/outdoor cat. She stayed over for a few nights to watch the animals and left it cleaner than she arrived (despite having a housekeeper). We plan to use Nat in the future and she’s a huge stress relief while you’re traveling.
Liz did a great job taking care of our two greyhounds while staying at our house. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again when we travel. Came home to happy and tired pups and a clean house. She sent daily updates with photos and videos that were greatly appreciated!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Brookhaven is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $83 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.
As of October 2026, there are 870 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 , 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.
