House Sitting Brooklyn

“I was very satisfied with Amy. She came before the stay so both my cat and I could become acquainted and review house access. She and my cat were immediate friends. She sent me pictures each day and we communicated by text and email. My house looked better when I returned than when I left. She is very kind and caring and I would recommend her without any qualms.”

“Cloey was very attentive, communicative and friendly. She kept me posted the entire time we were on our trip and showered our boy with affection.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for over 10 years. It’s a true joy and pleasure. Love spending my time with them as creating bonds I am available 2-8 hours a week. I work full time and miss having my own dog, so sitting dogs comes naturally and a is a joy. I can walk, board, and clean after dogs. With cats it’s the same and clean the litter box. Spend time playing with them and taking care of any anxieties.

About: Hi! I’m Diane, and I’ve been caring for animals for about 15 years. I’ve had pets of my own for most of my life and have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies who need lots of play and patience to older pets who would rather have a slower walk and some company on the couch. I genuinely love animals and tend to treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, very attentive to their routines and behavior, and I’m more than happy to provide plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away. My schedule is currently very flexible, so I’m available for pet care throughout the day and evening. Whether you need an early morning walk, midday potty break, afternoon playtime, evening feeding, or overnight care, I can usually work around your pet’s normal routine. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I try to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, crates, medications, doors/gates, and any house rules you have. I’m also very mindful of body language and never force interaction with a nervous or unsure pet. Their safety and comfort always come first, along with respecting your home while I’m there.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and have lived with multiple cat owners as well. I feel like pets like my calm and loving demeanor 😊 I enjoy the flexibility this profession allows and I love the outdoors. If your pet wants a long walk in the sun or just needs to stretch its legs in the backyard I’m down for either! 😁 I feel as though my laid back demeanor is great for working with animals and even the pickiest cats have fallen for me. I’m great at reading the body language of animals and know when they want a belly rub or when they want me to sit six feet away.

About: Megan and Noah here! We adore animals and would love the opportunity to take care/ get to know your fur babies. Noah has 29 years of experience taking care of various animals, both exotic and domestic, professional and personally such as dogs, cats, rats, frogs., etc. Megan has 8 years of experience working alongside Noah keeping our animals active, medications/ shots up to date and routinely cleaning after the animals. Together we have a dog and two cats currently. Our dog is very high energy so we are used to playing, going for walks, and giving lots of attention. Our cats get the best treatment as well with all the toys and wet food they could ever want. We are available for sitting, walking, or overnight care at any time and any day. Noah works Tuesday- Saturday 8 to 4 and Megan works two random days either 630 to 5 or 8 to 630. Between the two of us, our availability is wide open :) We are located in the Murray Hill area. We are both active people who enjoy going on long walks around the neighborhood. We keep our pets at a healthy weight, routine vet visits and feeding schedule for all of our animals. We also run a cleaning and grooming schedule throughout the week to minimum grime and maximum a healthy environment for our animals to live in. We are available for sitting, walking, or overnight care at any time and any day. We love having a step goal so we love going for walks with fur babies! We are very attentive on walks and safety will be our number 1 priority.

About: I have taken care of almost every dog in my small town from Alaska! I am trusted by everyone in my town with any variety of pets. I take care of dogs, cats, and even reptiles! I owned two reptiles back in Alaska so I have experience. If you need a reliable person who is good with all animals, give me a shout! I am currently living a life of freedom and nature loving. I travel around the world in my camper van and take care of pets all across the way. I would be more than happy to stay with your pet while you were away as well if that would make both the owner and the pet more comfortable. I would be willing to stay at no extra charge. I am incredibly flexible with the care of any pet and I will follow the owners instructions as directed to make sure their pet friend does not have a disturbed routine. If your pup needs time to play outside, I would be happy to exercise them as needed. I can feed as many times a day as needed and can provide regular care.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life. I love meeting new animals! i’ve rescued cats and dogs and even volunteered at the shelter for over a year! i work part time but im available any time im not working! :) i’ve worked with all sorts of dogs including high energy, puppies, and senior dogs. i’m also able to work with dogs that are reactive! i am available to give medication as well! i currently work a full-time job so i need to know in advance about petsitting in case i am working! that way i can see if it can be worked out! i like to meet the dog calmly and maybe give them a treat so that they know they can trust me, i also like to know about the dogs behavior and how they are around other people’s cats/animals!

“Dawson is awesome! He is super polite and responsible and did a great job both dog sitting and house sitting. Our dog loved being with him and he was super communicative with me if he had questions or if I had any questions. I would absolutely recommend him.”

About: I'm your pets new friend I used to have a 2 per dogs two females but they passed away after I took good care of them Im currently working full-time for a hours of house sitting I make sure your pet has enough food and water and take them for a walk and alps play with the dogs and cats and birds I make sure your pet is taken good care of my hands for your pets safety and trust and make sure they don't get hurt

About: Whether your companions need feeding rituals, city strolls, running, playtime, cuddles and puddles, meds, or time to run the fields (eh um... backyard), I follow your routine and details. I also take care of the home: watering plants, tending the garden, tidying up, and handling any house and yard specifics that just can't wait. You get peace of mind while you're away. Having lived in cities and on farms, I'm comfortable with most pets: dogs, cats, birds, fish, rabbits, and small furries. I've also bottle-fed and cared for baby animals and other high-needs pets. Every mama needs a break once in a while. Depending on your routine needs, I'll generally fit my schedule around yours and/or talk about the plan with you. For nearby visits 10-15 min away, multiple times a day is possible since my schedule can be worked out. For more involved or more rural visits that require more time or need constant or overnight care, please let me know your needs and we'll discuss and agree on the schedule that works. For a house sitting assignment, I generally need to make sure I have somewhere to work on my computer for my remote job and clarify other living arrangements if that is part of the house sitting requirements. I can plan to be there during the day/night as needed, and expect to come and go as if I were living there (get groceries, run an errand) making sure to not be gone for more than the agreed upon amount of hours away based on any pet care needs. I prefer to care for your animals in your home and require a meet-n-greet before your first visit to make sure we're compatible and that I can perform all the details safely in your absence. At the time when I'm expected to care for your pets and/home, I'm expecting to be the only human in the home and that you can rely on me while you're away. At all times, I need a well-lit safe way to enter and exit. It's important to discuss the security of your property with me so that any doors, alarm systems, keys, lights, cameras, utilities, gates, etc. are known and there is a responsible plan for them. I have a series of questions when we meet to get to know your fur babies to know how you expect them to behave and their typical reactions when walking, socializing or other specifics in the home like a favorite object, toy or calming place. For dogs, I like to know their favorite things on walks and their not so favorite areas. If possible, I would love to walk the path with you that you normally take for first time clients.

About: Dogs are also family wouldn't you say they deserve the best care from the best dog caregiver!? With me your fur baby will receive attention through play time, be given time to run and play and have the love and care to continue to thrive. The Services I do provide are feeding, walks to keep your fur baby happy and healthy, fun time to keep them stimulated, to continue to build on their social skills and so they can routinely be working on their bonding with family, new faces and other dogs. Dogs are constantly growing and learning so the proper sitter is needed. My schedule is flexible, so it’s allows me to be available for any type of service that may come up. Around Special events and holidays I have more time to play with your fur baby and be more active. Making sure your dog is secure in my home or yours is my first priority. Because dogs are just like babies they can get into things so double checking doors and Gates is a must.

About: I pet set for friends and family often. I have always had pets so I’m very comfortable with being able to care for pets with all different needs! I am in school with a more open schedule. I do have availability in the morning and afternoons! I love to spend some time with the pets I am watching so I plan around my schedule to ensure your pet gets some time to hang out and be with someone Any pet that is outside will be supervised and played with. Your pets health and safety is of the utmost importance to me and I will do whatever I can to ensure that your pet is happy, healthy, and safe.

“Where to even start? If you were thinking of booking Scarlett do so right now because she is the BEST thing to ever happen to us when it comes to someone caring for our babies when we’re gone. She’s so accommodating, empathetic, caring and sweet. She treats not just the animals but the owners like family as well. I don’t think there are enough letters in the alphabet for me to string together the perfect words to describe her. We have found our go-to person for any trips we do on and are so grateful for her. She has become not only our pet sitter but our friend as well and our fur babies love her. Best Rover sitter ever!”

Alecxandra S.

“Chyna has been outstanding! I have left my baby with her many times. She is very sweet and professional. She sends you many pictures during the day and keep us posted. I would recommend her without any hesitation. I already have rescheduled for my future vacation. She is the best!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs in the household my entire life! I volunteer with a dog rescue group as well as dog rescue transports. The safety and care of a dogs life is very important to me and my life wouldn’t be complete without them! I recently moved to Jacksonville, giving me full availability to take care of your animals and give them the love they need! I am able to do days and nights, depending on the care you need for them. I am kind and patient, allowing your animal to take the time they need to trust me. I have a few animals at home that are well spoiled and are very much given love!

About: What sets me apart from many sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and my ability to genuinely connect with them quickly — especially pets who may be anxious, shy, older, highly attached to their owners, or simply used to lots of companionship and attention. Over the years, I’ve helped care for foster litters of puppies and kittens requiring around-the-clock feeding, monitoring, and weight tracking alongside my best friend, who is a veterinarian. I also have veterinary technician and shelter experience, along with hands-on experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, reinforcing basic puppy training, and supporting animals with special routines, anxieties, or medical needs. I’m currently working with one of my own dogs in service dog training, and I’m also a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) who previously worked with pre-K children with autism using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Both experiences have strengthened my understanding of behavioral reinforcement, nonverbal communication, patience, routine, trust-building, and adapting to different personalities and emotional needs. In many ways, both children and animals communicate heavily through energy, body language, consistency, and feeling emotionally safe, and I’ve found those skills help me connect especially well with animals of all temperaments. I’m also an avid walker and love spending time outdoors, taking long walks through the beautiful Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods, local parks, and nearby green spaces — especially when the weather cools down a bit. For more active dogs, I genuinely enjoy playtime, walks, fetch, and engagement throughout the day, while calmer pets usually find me just as happy to provide cuddles, companionship, and a peaceful environment. Because I operate my design company remotely and on my own schedule, I’m often able to spend extended time in the home providing companionship, supervision, structure, affection, and a calming presence throughout the day and overnight — not just quick drop-ins. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. Because I own and operate my own boutique design firm, my schedule is highly flexible and allows me to work remotely from anywhere with a reliable internet connection. I’m also involved in tween mentorship and creative consulting, both of which I manage on my own schedule, making it easy for me to prioritize the needs and routines of the pets in my care. I’m naturally both an early riser and a night owl, so I’m available for early morning feedings and walks, late-night potty breaks, overnight companionship, medication schedules, and pets who simply feel more secure having someone nearby throughout the day and evening. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy the companionship, structure, and calm presence animals bring. Whether I’m working quietly from my laptop while keeping your pet company, taking breaks for walks and playtime, or providing attentive overnight care, I’m able to give pets far more presence and consistency than many traditional sitters with rigid work schedules. Safety, trust, and creating a calm environment are extremely important to me, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have two friendly small dogs and cats of my own, so pets staying in my home should be comfortable around other animals and able to coexist peacefully. Our pets are very much part of the family and are welcome on furniture and beds, so I aim to create a relaxed, loving, home-like environment rather than a kennel atmosphere. I understand that every pet has different comfort levels, routines, and boundaries, and I take introductions, feeding, supervision, and transitions seriously to help everyone feel safe and comfortable. If a pet prefers to be crated or separated at times, I’m happy to accommodate those needs as well. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m highly respectful of routines, security, cleanliness, and household expectations. As a longtime homeowner and business owner myself, I understand the level of trust involved when someone gives access to both their beloved pets and their home. I’m conscientious about alarms, locked doors, medications, feeding schedules, potty routines, cleanliness, and communication. Because I work remotely from home in the Avondale area, I’m also able to provide a high level of flexibility, supervision, companionship, and overnight presence for pets who are used to having someone nearby throughout the day.

About: I raised my Great Dane Alf from a puppy when I was just 24 years old to almost 37. I did everything for him, including scheduled feedings, diapers, injections, timed medications, you name it. I miss my boy and want to make new friends. The dog in my picture is my “nephew” Elvis. Also, I go by my middle name Nichole. Not sure why Rover won’t let me change it? I am new to this app, so give me some grace in figuring this all out. I am more than capable of loving your fur babies though! I currently stay at home. I’m very shy and quiet, and prefer to stay in. I enjoy the company of animals most! I’m really hoping I can make this work as an income source for myself. My yard is fenced, but missing the porch railing currently. I’d be able to supervise good boys and girls back there off leash, or on leash depending on their trustability and escape skills. My boy Alf had no interest in escaping, hence why the porch has not been fixed yet. I’m happy to follow whatever routine you have with your pets! Just let me know.

About: The reason I thought about being a pet sitter is I have been doing it for free for many years and why not sit for other people. I would like to take advantage of not being a full time pet owner and being a remote worker. This way I can focus on your family pets with no distractions and have an adventure at the same time. I am kind of new to Rover but have been a TrustedHousesitters and had 7-5 star reviews. I am in telephone sales, so can work on my own schedule. I am available to take care of your animal in your home, walk in the morning, and evening, feedings, and playtime. I do everything I can to make your pet feel comfortable and calm. I like to take them for a walk in the morning, late afternoon, and evening but will accommodate extra walks if needed, especially puppies. I want them to be happy and do what I can to do this.

“by far the best sitter i’ve ever used both on and off rover. she did so good with introductions with my anxious dog and he warmed right up to her and had the best time - don’t think he missed me at all! she left the house better than when i left and i don’t have to worry about a thing. would highly recommend carly to anyone!”
