“Sarah was a great sitter! The dogs were happy and she kept everything neat around the house. She understood when our flight was delayed due to storms. Will definitely recommend.”
About: I've had pets my entire life! I have both cats and dogs now, and have had many types and personalities over the years. I worked in a vet clinic as well. I cant wait to meet your pets and love them like my own! I have a fairly flexible schedule, so can fit most needs into my schedule. I do have a farm so have our own animals to care for as well. I will care for your animals in your home. I'll request detailed instructions and follow them to keep things as normal as possible for your pet in your absence. If you have a dog walking route, please let me know so I can stick to it.
“Haley went above and beyond for us, she only stayed for 2 nights to house sit but she left the house absolutely spotless! She made sure to check in often to let us know everything was okay & followed all of the regular routine we gave her! I would absolutely recommend Haley to anyone needing a house sitter or just an intermittent pet sitter, our animals loved her. We will be hiring her again!”
“I would give Kennedy 100 stars if I could! She was an absolute team player and stepped in immediately when we had another bad sitter experience. Kennedy took on the job with little to no insight and not getting to meet us or our pets ahead of time. She took over in the most effortless way and let us enjoy the remainder of our vacation knowing our pets were in such excellent hands! She communicated very well and even communicated more to ease our anxiety. Kennedy is a rockstar and took initiative on asking if I needed any care of stuff I didn’t mention in my notes or a drop in before we made it home! Words will never be enough to praise her great work ethic. She truly cares about your pets like her own. Thank you for absolutely everything you did to help us Kennedy!”
“We always feel like our babies are in good hands when we leave them with Rhonda! And Rhonda is so good to work with. We always come back to a clean house and happy dogs. It's no wonder that she's booked up months in advance!”
About: With a huge heart for animals, I provide personalized, attentive care for pets of all ages and needs. My focus is on creating a stress-free environment for pets while their owners are away, ensuring they’re safe, comfortable, and loved. What sets me apart is my dedication to understanding each pet’s unique personality and routine, so they feel secure and happy in their own space. You can trust that your furry family members will be in the best hands! I stay home most days, so I have open availability and plenty of time to go above and beyond in helping you with your fur baby needs! I have a fenced yard, friendly dogs and cats to keep your fur baby company, a separate room for your fur baby if they’re not as social, and can accommodate crating your fur baby if needed! I also have no issue with coming to your home to care for your fur baby! We are also currently working on transforming one of our downstairs bedrooms in our home to a Rover Suite for our furry guests to have a cozy place to sleep where they’re safe and gated off at night, or if they need space from the dog pack while they’re here!
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs since I was 11. I was told I had to do all the puppy chores if I wanted a puppy so I’ve always walked, bathed, feed, and played with them as much as possible. I love all dogs no matter the shape or size. I also live on a big farm where they would be able to play and run all day long. I currently work a full-time job three days a week. It can depends on my schedule, but I get my schedule months in advance, so I’m available on the days that my calendar says I’m available and I’m normally available every other weekend. I do go to college but I’m online this semester so I’ll be home the days I don’t work. We have all kinds of toys and room for them to play. I live in a neighborhood. I don’t have a fenced in yard but they would be able to run all day as they pleased and run inside as they please and go on fun trips and do all that kind of stuff while they’re with me my parents also have a big farm so there might be days where I decide to go out there and I could take your pups with me and they can run and run and play all day long on the farm.I also never mind to bath them if they get dirty!
About: Hello, my name is Heather and I have worked with a large variety of animals my entire life. I worked for our vet when I got into high school and regularly pet sat throughout the years. Over the years ive pet sat for friends and friends of friends. I have great references and I am happy to share them. I can take up to 2 dogs in my home. I travel and do pet sit at a few local places regularly. All I ask for is directions if needed for specific animals(meds behavior etc) and emergency phone # for vet please! All necessary instructions etc will be discussed prior of coarse. I currently am enrolled in school online so I am as flexible as needed. Whatever schedule your pets are used to I can work with. I will care for your pet as you wish and keep as close to their schedule as possible! Traveling is stressful enough and I will do what I can to help lessen the stress of your animals care while away.
About: I have had dogs of my own for my entire life, and dog-sat for many friends, family & neighbors over the years. I also have tons of experience with horses and goats! I am traveling right now as I search for another full time job. In the interim, I am looking for animals to care for, walk, groom- whatever is needed- to make some money & stay afloat! I love to snuggle & play with all of the fur babies! I give great scratches and am a worthy tug-of-war opponent. I will ensure that your house is always locked, safe & secure, and that your companions are happy & healthy!

FAQs for House Sitting - Brooklyn
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 87 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brooklyn. 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 Brooklyn 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 Brooklyn 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 Brooklyn 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
