“Gregory is absolutely great with my pup. Spent lots of time to give my boy cuddles, took him to his play group and reliable. I have rebooked him a couple times since he's been great.”
“Brittany was such a fantastic house sitter and treated our pup like her own!! She left the house in perfect condition and gave our dog lots of walks, playtime, cuddles, and shared plenty of pics. We will absolutely be using her again!”
“Alexis was incredibly kind and understanding. We had a dog sitter cancel and she agreed to help with our brother’s dog alongside ours on Thanksgiving day. She took good care of the boys and was good at updating us.”
“Christina is wonderful to our pups. She is very friendly and did everything we asked. She is also very responsive and accommodating. Our pups and house is very well taken. Will use Christina in the future!”
“I've had Peter petsit for a year or two now, and he's fantastic. He's responsive, timely, trustworthy, and communicative. You can tell he really cares about the animals and treats them like family. Peter goes above and beyond, and he's helped us with a crisis or two while we were out of town. He did really well with my reactive dog (who loved him despite being aloof with most people) as well as my new puppy. Peter is my go-to for pet care and once you hire him, I'm sure he'll be yours too!”
“So kind and good with my three dogs! I am a very anxious dog mom when I leave them, and she sent me so many pictures and updates, and every time I texted her she answered right away!”
“Quanece and Malik did a fantastic job! This was our first time booking with them and we will definitely be doing so in the future. We have a very anxious dog and two rambunctious cats and they were able to handle all of their idiosyncrasies, no problem. They also left the house cleaner than they found it. 5/5 no rants, all raves!”
About: I love taking dogs on walks around the neighborhood and the park there's nothing like getting fresh air and sunshine with your four legged friends I am a sahm so I am very flexible My kids are all in school during the day so I'm free on short notice for walks and feedings I am careful to not cause any messes I'll feed and take your dog out with a sense of ease and peace of mind knowing they are in good hands
“Olivia was great! My pets all seemed very happy when she sent pictures, and our house was in great shape when she left. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Dominique did a great job caring for our puppy. She sent regular updates and pictures. On our first meeting I could see how easily she got along with our dog and I was put at ease immediately. I strongly recommend Dominique as a pet sitter and walker.”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring dog walker and pet sitter with a year of experience providing loving care for dogs. Most of my experience comes from caring for the pets of friends and family, where I’ve built a reputation for being attentive, dependable, and treating every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, so I make communication a priority. You can count on me to provide regular updates, respond promptly to messages, and follow your pet’s routine and care instructions closely. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply lots of attention and companionship, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. My current availability allows me to provide up to three walks per day on weekends, as well as on Mondays and Fridays. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! When I used to sit I would take the dog on a walk before work and one in the evening. I know some dogs need three but I’d only be able to do so on the weekend and Friday and Monday I’d prefer to pet sit in the pup’s home versus mine. I find it makes them less nervous or antsy especially with a new face but would welcome doing it if needed.
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and have spent the last 5 years informally caring for pets belonging to self and friends. I don't have any pets at the moment and I would love care for yours. I know how to read an animal's body language, stick to their routine, and give them the attention they need, whether that's a long walk, playtime, or just quiet company on the couch. I treat every pet like my own: consistent feeding schedules, plenty of exercise, and lots of affection. I'm equally comfortable with dogs and cats and happy to accommodate specific care instructions, medications, or quirks your pet may have. I'm mostly flexible right now since I'm not working full-time, so I have plenty of time to give your pets attention throughout the day and evening. I can accommodate daily walks, drop-ins, or boarding on short notice, and I'm happy to work around your pet's usual routine, feeding times, walk schedules, and any specific habits they're used to I live in an apartment in Center City Philadelphia, so most of my care happens through walks and outdoor time rather than a private yard, and I'm comfortable working in your home as well. Wherever I'm caring for your pet, I keep a close eye on them at all times, follow feeding and medication instructions exactly, and make sure doors and leashes are secure so there's no risk of an escape.
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with 20 years of experience handling dogs of many breeds and sizes, with a specialty in small dogs. I understand that leaving your furry family member behind can be stressful, so my #1 priority is providing a safe, structured, and fun environment while you are away. I am trained in canine first aid, experienced with high-energy small breeds, and skilled at administering medications. I treat every dog as if they were my own, sticking to their regular feeding and walking schedules to keep them happy and reduce anxiety. I am extremely communicative and will send you detailed daily updates with plenty of photos so you can enjoy your time away worry-free. My daily routine is incredibly flexible and built around your pet's needs. Whether I'm staying overnight at your house or just doing daily drop-ins, I offer early morning, midday, and evening visits with ease. For extended stays, I simply bring my laptop and work remotely from your home. This means your pets get constant companionship, plenty of potty breaks, and your house stays occupied for as long as you need me there. I know what it's like to lose a pet, so safety will always be my number one priority. Trust and security go hand-in-hand with my remote work lifestyle. Since I'll be in your home for extended periods, I can actively keep an eye on both your property and your pets. I take my responsibility seriously: I'll bring in your mail and packages, water your plants, and clean up after your pets daily. I am meticulous about locking doors and windows behind me. I will closely monitor your pets for any subtle signs of stress, discomfort, or illness. I always aim to leave your home exactly as clean, if not cleaner, than I found it.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brooklawn
This was the first time I had a sitter stay with my Willa, and Brittany definitely made me feel at ease with the love and care she gave during the weekend spent away from her. She sent pictures/updates and treated my home with respect. I am very grateful to know I can trust her with any future needs, I truly appreciate everything 🥹🩷
We had such a great experience with Lauren! She was incredibly kind, communicative, and clearly took great care of our dogs while we were away. She kept us updated and sent pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and would definitely have her watch our dogs again!
Melissa watched our puppy for about 5 hours in the evening. I was initially nervous to have someone watch our young 10 week old puppy who had only been living in our house for a couple weeks. We also had our puppy on a schedule for naps, potty, and play time. But Melissa immediately put my nerves at ease when she came to our house for a meet and greet a couple days before. She welcomed all the detailed information I provided about our puppy's schedule, asked questions and was more than happy to stick to our puppy's routine. When she arrived, she was so appreciative of some last minute details I wanted to share before leaving. The night went smoothly and she was so attentive and caring to our little girl! She kept to our puppy's schedule and even sent us pictures while we were gone. She even put our puppy to bed in her crate before we got home because she knew her bedtime was at 11pm. Melissa was so easy to get to know, friendly, trustworthy and took incredible care of our puppy! I must also add that she was agreeable to watch our puppy while my in laws babysat our children at the same time in our house! That is huge! We will 100% be booking with Melissa in the future!

Felicia was awesome with our dogs Sammy & Mojo. She stayed at our house each day from 4:40 - 8:30 pm to keep our dogs company. She played ball with Sam and took lots of pictures which assured us that they were in good hands. Felicia also brought in the mail and fed the birds. I highly recommend her.
Krystal was an amazing house and cat sitter for us! She was available on short notice and during the Holidays which was such a relief! She was respectful of our home and more importantly took great care of our kitties and sent us periodic photos and updates! Great communication and a lovely person! Highly recommend Krystal!
Mary did a good job with our pets last week. Our only concern is Casey was left for longer than we requested in our notes to her. We don’t know that for sure of course but that’s something that can be asked of Mary. If we were to use her in the future we need-to be assured that they,especially Casey would not be left for longer than the six hours. All in all everything was fine and we appreciate the care they received.

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 Brooklawn 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 Brooklawn 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 Brooklawn 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.
