“Kaitlin is not only a natural animal lover, but also a very kind and responsible person. She stayed at our home and cared for our dogs during a snow storm that brought almost a foot of snow with it. She is an excellent communicator. I felt very comfortable traveling out of town knowing that she was taking great care of our dogs and home in our absence. 100% recommend her! 😊”
“Our dogs had another amazing stay with Amanda! Amanda is so communicative and leaves our house is such perfect, clean condition. Most importantly our dogs love her and are always such well taken care of with her :)”
“Alicia took such great care of our dog and cats! She was incredibly flexible, accommodated all their needs and preferences, and always kept us updated with pictures and videos so we could see how the pets were doing”
“Elizabeth is clearly great with dogs and was happy to do a home visit before we booked so we could meet her and tell her what we needed in a dog and house sitter. She sent us pictures every day and left our house exactly as we had left it. We will definitely be using her again when we need a sitter!”
“Cheryl was a great sitter. She stayed at the house and watched our two large dogs. She took good care of them and sent us pictures and updates on them over the weekend. She even took care of a package that was delivered for us. I would use Cheryl again.”
“Maria is a great sitter! She’s so attentive to our high energy dog and he loves to play and hang out with her. We will continue to utilize her services!”
“Karenna was excellent and was very responsive with questions and updates on our dog. Our dog has some behavioral issues and Karenna was very responsive and asked lots of questions and accommodated to his needs. She is excellent and will be booking her again in the future!”
“Alex was fantastic! We had never used Rover before and were in a bind. We have 3, 1.5 year old dogs and a cat so it is a little involved and she handled it so well. She came and met them before we left, and sent photos and updates while we were gone. She stayed at the house, and it was cleaner than when we left! Such a good experience and we wound 100% recommend her!”
“Zana watched our two dogs and cat for a week and we are thrilled with our experience. Zana was extremely communicative and sent great pictures along with the updates. Our elder dog got sick and Zana was a champ handling some unexpected cleanup duty, leaving our house nice and clean. We sincerely hope we can rebook Zana the next time we leave town.”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy helping them feel safe, cared for, and loved while their people are away. I’ve cared for animals throughout my life, from family pets growing up to paid pet and house sitting for friends and private clients. I’m a longtime yoga teacher, so creating a calm, grounded environment comes naturally to me. Friends, clients, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs, cats, and homes, and I understand how important consistency, communication, and reliability are. Whether your pet loves long walks, quiet companionship, or playful interaction, I’ll care for them with the same attention and respect I’d want for my own family. I’m a part-time yoga teacher with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care for your pets. I carefully plan my schedule around the animals in my care and will always discuss my teaching times with you in advance. My priority is making sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand that inviting someone into your home or entrusting them with your beloved pet requires a great deal of trust. I treat every home with respect and every animal with patience, kindness, and attentive care. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, communicate regularly with updates and photos, and will always reach out if I have any questions or concerns. My goal is for you to return home to a happy pet and a well-cared-for home. If boarding is needed, I provide a quiet, calm, smoke free home and accept only one family’s pets at a time so I can give them my full attention. I carefully follow each pet’s established routine and will communicate regularly with updates and photos. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
About: I have over 10 years of experience in pet-sitting, which means I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, cats, sick animals, and behaviorally-challenged animals. I am also a proud pet owner myself - I have a 14-year old rescue dog named Greta, and I often cared for 3 of my roommates' cats in college (Luna, Socks, and Boo Radley). What sets me apart from other sitters is that I will care for your pet like they are my own, meaning constant love and attention, as well as careful attention to detail. I take your care instructions very seriously and follow directions to a tee. Every pet has unique needs, and it is my pleasure to not only meet those needs but also to make sure they are happy and as calm as can be. Because I work remotely, I can be available to pet-sit all day if needed. If my family isn't home, I will need to return a few times a day to care for my own furry friend, but please know that being of service to you means YOUR pet is the priority! Unfortunately, my pup (Greta) is pretty antisocial, which means I am unable to host dogs at my house. Because I live with my parents, they can take care of Greta while I am gone, and I am more than happy to stay at your house as long or as often as you need. I will always make sure your pet gets fed accurately, adequately, and punctually, and always has fresh water available. I also love to play with pets and make sure they get enough outdoor time and exercise if needed! Additionally, I always clean up after myself and your pet, and I make it my goal to leave your home just as it was when I arrived, if not cleaner. If I stay overnight, I always wash the sheets and linens, as well as clean any counter or surface I use.
“Amazing house sitter, responsible and communicative! We had Jeff stay at our house for a week with our elderly pitbull and energetic saluki. Jeff took great care of our boys and our house and kept us updated the whole time. He is friendly and professional, 10/10 would reccommend!”
“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.”
“Raimey was phenomenal and highly recommend. Took great care of my dog and provided detailed daily updates with lots of photos. Kept my house in great condition and even took my trash out for trash day. She provided timely responses and had great communication during the stay. Thanks so much!”
About: I’m currently training to be a therapist so I have a keen sense for emotions… pets included! I’ve dog sat for family numerous times and am hoping to branch out. I love being around animals, am a very easy guest, and will happily send you any pictures of your pets! I have class 1-9pm on Monday and Wednesday but am mostly free otherwise! I get up early to swim twice a week (Fri and Sat), but can go straight back if needed. I don’t do much, so I’m pretty open! I’m willing to do whatever I can to help the pet feel safe and welcomed. Whether they want to play, rest, eat, or walk, I’m happy to help them out!
“Haile was absolutely amazing from start to finish! I was a little nervous leaving my babies — a 4lb chorkie and a cat with someone new for 5 full days but she put my mind at ease completely. She was reliable, trustworthy, and professional in every way. I came home to a clean house exactly the way I left it which says everything about her character and respect for other people's space. Most importantly my animals loved her and that's the ultimate seal of approval. You can't fake that. 🐾 Haile will be my go-to pet sitter from here on out and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who wants their babies in good hands while they're away. If you're looking for someone you can trust completely - she's your person!”
“Ana is great! She was always responsive, kind, and reliable, and made sure Ginger stayed safe, comfortable, and happy. She took great care of her and also helped daily medication well! When I got home, Ginger was calm, healthy, and clearly well cared for.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brooklandville
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.
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 $88.8 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,722 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.
