“Cheryl was so wonderfully patient with our very shy dog. She gave us so much reassurance he was ok that we didn't stress while we were out of town. We feel very lucky to have found her and look forward to taking more quick trips that won't allow our pooch.”
“Amanda did an amazing job caring for our pup. Our pup is almost never left alone so this was a big deal for us. She put us at ease and made sure she knew all the details necessary to care for him. She sent us lots of pictures and took him on all his favorite walkies. We had a great vacation knowing he was in good hands.”
“Maria was a great help and our two medium sized pit mixes sure loved the company, treats, and snuggles! She sent pictures each day, brought in our mail for us, left the house how she found it, and was always very communicative. Will definitely be asking Maria to watch our pups for future trips!”
“Micah did a wonderful job house sitting and caring for our cats, dog, and bird while we were away for a week! She actively communicated with us, sent great photos of all of our pets, spent lots of quality time with our pets, and paid thoughtful and careful attention to fluctuations in our pets’ appetites and activity levels and made adjustments to their routines as needed. She also did a great job handling daily oral medications for our dog and one of our cats. Our pets all seemed so content when we got home, which I do not take for granted—it’s proof they felt very well cared for by Micah! We highly recommend her!”
“Michael takes his job seriously as noted by his willingness to help with any needs that arise. He made a visit the day before I left to review feeding, supplements & meds for 3 pets. He kept in touch during my trip as well as sending a few pictures. In addition the house looked neater than I left it! Makes me feel secure knowing my home & 3 fur babies are in good hands! Thanks Michael, until next time.”
“Jeff was great. Very responsive, and he sent regular updates on my dog and cat. They were well taken care of, and my house was clean and tidy when I got home. Thank you, Jeff!”
“Karenna did a great job house sitting for our golden retriever and a cat when we were away, she kept us updated with pictures every day and was very communicative. We found the house the way we left and our furry babies well taken care of. I will definitely book with her again!!”
“Amanda did a great job with our anxious and reactive dog. She handled all of his meds well and even gave him extra breaks and walks outside. He was happy and relaxed when we got home for our trip.”
“Everything was super smooth and easy. Wonderful communication, as we received updates and pics. Our two pups were so relaxed when we arrived home and it was good to know they were in good care. Will be booking more dates with Zana very soon!”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I also occasionally foster dogs to support my local shelter and have experience pet-sitting for neighbors’ and friends’ dogs and cats. I am a fast learner with strong attention to detail, and I take pride in following instructions carefully. I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for both you and your pet. I am currently on winter break from college, which means I have a very open and flexible schedule. I am available for as many pet visits as needed and can easily accommodate multiple check-ins, extended visits, or last-minute requests. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to ensure they receive consistent, attentive care. I provide attentive, reliable care that prioritizes each pet’s comfort, safety, and routine, whether I’m caring for them in my home or in their owner’s home. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication needs if applicable, exercise, and enrichment. For dogs, this includes regular walks, playtime, and companionship tailored to their energy level—from energetic puppies to senior dogs. For cats, I focus on feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and calm companionship while respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. I have experience caring for pets through lifelong dog ownership, fostering animals from local shelters, and pet-sitting for neighbors’ and friends’ dogs and cats. I pay close attention to details, maintain a clean and safe environment, and make sure pets feel secure and stress-free while their owners are away. With my flexible schedule during winter break, I am available for multiple visits and can adapt easily to your pet’s needs.
“Great care for our little rescue guy. My dog instantly took to her. Eileen house sat and dog sat and was beyond responsible for both. We would 100 % call her when needed. She went out of hr way and I knew my guy was safe and happy.”
“Absolutely wonderful! For starters, my three dogs loved her! Even the one who is a little grumpy. She stayed in our house for three nights and looked after our dogs while there. She was very communicative, prompt, and respectful of our home! It looked like no one had even stayed there. Would love to book her services again (if our diaper dog didn't scare her off)!”
“I had a great experience with Sun! I really appreciated that they asked to do a meet and greet beforehand, which made me feel comfortable and confident leaving my dog in their care. I booked extremely last minute, and he was very accommodating and worked with me to make everything happen. They kept me updated throughout the entire process and did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. I would definitely book with him again!”
“Emma was amazing with our very anxious and reactive pup. She replied immediately to a last minute house sitting request, came right over to get the lowdown, was great at keeping Bruno calm, and took great care of him! He developed a little eye irritation while she was with him. She did an excellent job letting us know about it while also conveying that she wasn’t particularly concerned.”
“Trevor is amazing! Professional, responsive, reliable, and most importantly took amazing care of our two pugs. Highly recommend and would happily work with him again. Thank you!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brooklandville
Elizabeth is fantastic. I’ve used her overnight services multiple times, and I’m thrilled every single time. She is always my first choice in a pet sitter. Great communication, follows any rules 100%, is mindful of being in your home and leaving it actually better than I left it, and makes wise decisions. My dog Pippa loves her!!
This was the first time we used, Paul, and he did a great job! He was professional, timely, fastidious, and very communicative throughout our five day trip. She clearly loves dogs, and was very in tune with the needs of our elderly dog. Will definitely be using him again!
Karenna went above and beyond expectations- she agreed to meet and get to know my reactive dog who needs the time to get to know someone before being left alone. We schedule multiple drop ins prior to her house sitting and the weekend went very smoothly. Took great care of both our dogs and our home. Highly recommended!
Emma was amazing with our very anxious and reactive pup.

Alicia is the best! She sat our 2 pups (Golden and Golden doodle) for the weekend sending pictures and keeping us updated the entire time. We came home to the house like we never left and the puppies were happy! Will have her sit again when she can! Thanks for taking care of our fur babies.
As always, Leslie was the consummate professional and took such great care of our dogs, Cada and Lucy while we were away on our honeymoon! She kept us up to date with photos and news. When Cada had a mild/moderate health issue, she handled it extremely well, notifying us and taking Cada to the vet as appropriate and dispensing her medications as directed. She also got Cada a cone and made sure she was happy and distracted while wearing it. While you never want something negative to happen to your pets while you're away, we're so glad that Leslie is the one who was there to handle the issue and take care of our dogs. She also watered our plants and took good care of our house. Huge thanks, Leslie!

FAQs for House Sitting - Brooklandville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Brooklandville on Rover is $70.71 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,591 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brooklandville. 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 Brooklandville 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 Brooklandville 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 Brooklandville 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.

- 93% 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.
