“Once again Kelli is amazing! She is so kind and stepped in when we had a no show. I am so thankful we found her and our pup adores her. Thanks again Kelli!! You are a rockstar!”
About: I grew up helping to take care of my dad’s Rottweilers and German Shepherds from when they were puppies to senior dogs so have plenty of experience with all age ranges. Since I’ve left home I’ve taken care of my own Pomeranians and medium-breed rescue dogs and helped out friends and fellow service members while I was living in Japan. Patient and firm with animals of all shapes and sizes and understand the need to get someone to help take care of them as we’re all trying to work in this economy! I work full-time during the day so am looking to schedule early morning and late evening walks to help if you’re an early riser as well! I walk my own dog each morning and night. I’m able to provide healthy jogs, walks, or whatever your pup needs to keep them healthy, happy, and ready to rest for when you get home!
About: I can care for all ages. Your baby will be one happy camper with me. I have 5 cats and 3 dogs at home so I know pets. I have two cool cats with health issues so i Can medicate if needed. Im free alot of the time so I can take care of your furry family. I dont mind doing hoildays or weekends! Im available most of the time I can feed, walk and play with your furry family members and i can medicate if needed too. We all need someone that can be there when vacation comes or just daily life comes up!
“Joselyn was an amazing drop in sitter while we were away for the weekend. She provided photos and message updates at each visit. We felt assured our GSD and cat were being well cared for.”
About: Medical student and lifelong animal lover with 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including puppies, medication administration, dog walking, and house sitting! I'm currently studying part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available during the weekdays and select weekends for boarding. I have a fenced back patio and nearby access to grass areas. I also have a very friendly and playful miniature Aussie who loves to provide companionship to other pets.
About: I have grown up with Pitbulls and Frenchies my whole life so I am confident that I can take great care of your beloved pet! I work from home and will be with your lovely dog all day (unless I need to go out to run an errand) so no need for you to be worried that they’ll be alone! I prefer to crate any dogs that are not mine while I am away from the home just to make sure everyone has their own space. If Dog is not crate trained, then I will place them in a room if I need to leave the house.
About: I absolutely love dogs, and would appreciate the pleasure of caring for your furry loved one! ! My experience in care ranges from animals, to people - a former caregiver to individuals with special needs, and now a therapist. I joined Rover because it takes a good heart to care for someone else’s loved one, and that’s exactly what I have. My services include drop in visits, short term stays with me, and house sitting in the pet’s home. Dogs will enjoy spending time with me, because of the attention they will receive. From walks, cuddles, belly rubs, and treats, we will have a great time. I am comfortable caring for all breeds, and sizes. I hope that you will consider me as your reliable Rover Sitter, take care!
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Jaclyn! She took amazing care of our dogs, Hallie and Gunner, during her drop-in visits. Jaclyn was always punctual and kept in great contact with us, providing thoughtful updates that gave us real peace of mind. It’s clear she truly loves animals and treats them with the same care and attention as if they were her own. Hallie and Gunner were so happy and relaxed thanks to her. We’re incredibly grateful and would highly recommend Jaclyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver!”
About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs - most were those of friends and neighbors who needed a trustworthy individual to dog walk and sit. I am a 4th year medical student at university of Maryland with some free time this semester. My schedule is flexible and varies week to week. I always make sure to ask questions to understand the dog’s routine at home. I am very attentive to the dog’s needs and to make sure the dog stays comfortable at all times.
“Rebeccah was excellent! She asked really great questions with our meet and greet to ensure she understood Phoebe’s needs and wants. The Rover cards were detailed and gave me comfort to know she was in good hands. Will definitely book with Rebeccah in the future.”
About: Hey 👋🏽 I’m returning to Rover after a big move to Baltimore City! 🏙️ Originally from the DMV area, I am now accepting new clients in the Baltimore City and County areas. Over the past 6 years, I have taken care of a variety of dogs from 10 lbs to over 150+ lb, and usually sit or walk 2-3 dogs at a time. I am currently available to book Monday-Friday during business hours of 8am-6pm for dogwalking and drop in visits. If you are interested, in dogsitting, where I stay with your pup in your home, I am also available for all days but I will disclose I do work 6-7 hours on the weekends. I do not house dogs in my home but in a client’s home I am usually informed about making sure certain backyard doors or fences are sealed off. I also make sure to put up any gates in the house to avoid any damage the dogs might cause. I am currently available for walks, drop in visits, and house sitting during the week days. This includes Mon-Fri during 8am -6pm. I am unavailable on weekends at this moment. My services make sure your furry family continues their daily routine of meals, walking, indoor playtime and tend to any medical conditions they might have. This is to establish trust with you (owner) and your pet as a responsible care taker.
“We love Jojo! She is excellent and provides great care for our babies. We felt confident leaving them in her care. She actually cares about our pets, which we have found to be rare among pet sitters. This was our 2nd time booking her and we will book again when we need someone!”
“Jenna is an excellent cat sitter! She gave lots of attention to my two cats, Hana & Pachi. she communicates well. She takes lots of photos. She does a really good job, is super friendly, and I will hire her again!!”
About: I am new to pet sitting on this platform, but not new to caretaking for pets. I specialize in senior pet care, especially cats with CKD. I am very experienced in giving medications orally or injection, administering subq fluids and lots of extra cuddles are very important! My husband and I enjoy traveling, but found it very hard to find a pet sitter that was well versed in caring for senior cats, especially cats with kidney disease. I will care for your babies as I would my own. They depend on us for safety and I do not take that lightly. I will treat them with respect and kindness because thats how I would want my babies to be treated while I’m away. Our pets are nervous enough while we’re away, so whatever I can do to make their lives a little less stressful, I will certainly do!
About: I grew up with english mastiffs and cats so I am well suited to caring for large dogs who need love and attention from someone who is comfortable with them. I am in college so my schedule is very flexible. I love taking care of pets in early mornings or early evenings, but I am happy to move my schedule around to accommodate your pet! I am happy to check on areas of your house to make sure that your pet is safe and has not gotten up to any mischief.
About: I have been great around pets and have always been fond of them. My pet care experience began when I was in middle school when my cousins would trust me to take care of their dog when they would leave the house. during the week day I have 3 days available where during the afternoon and evenings I can pet sit. During the weekend’s I have late afternoon, evenings and night availability. I care for pets with integrity however ai also enforce boundaries. I am always going to ask the owner for certain rules when regarding their pets and also ask if i can enforce some rules of my own.
About: I have gained so much experience with animals over the years that I have been jokingly nicknamed “the animal whisperer” and Snow White. I have had dogs and a cat my whole life, as well as watching friends, coworkers, family members and networks pets. I also have experience in animal husbandry & care from my last research position. I accept all furry friends and have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, and rodents! I currently work full time, approximately 6am-5pm (including my commute), so I am available any day after 5 for a dinner time walk or an overnight stay if pups or cats are okay being left alone for a bit. Please keep this in mind, especially regarding seniors or puppies. If your babies are used to that then I am totally fine with it. On weekends, however, I am available any time! I am able to follow any instructions given from the client and do have experience giving medication as well. I am attentive, will provide updates, always looking out for their well-being, and loving. I will provide the most comfortable & approachable aura that I can to make all fur-babies feel safe 💕
“Evan did a fabulous job taking care of my kitty! He was super communicative and reliable and I knew she was in good hands while I was on vacation. He also sent plenty of photos and videos so I knew my baby was doing well and getting lots of cuddles! I would absolutely book Evan again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Brooklyn
Elias has been kind and attentive to our high energy, anxious hound mix, Moose. Moose was uncertain about Elias when they first met, but Elias went at his pace and gave him time and grace to adjust. Moose now LOVES playing with Elias. Elias has been great to work with — he’s responsive and flexible. We greatly appreciate his support with keeping Moose happy while we’re away at work. We highly recommend Elias to care for your pets.
Karla did an amazing job with our brand new puppy! I had to book her last minute which I was nervous about not having met her but she kept us updated along the way, sent a ton of pictures, and reassured us that our babies were taken care of. Will 100% book again!
Erin was such a breeze to work with for our pet sitting. She was quick to reply to messages, was clear and concise with her communication, took great care of our large dogs and took fantastic pictures. Furthermore, she was able to navigate her way to our house on a day that was challenging due to a city event. I would recommend Erin to anyone who needs a pet sitter.
Megan was amazing! Coco is a very cautious dog, so she took the extra time to get to know her before a family trip and that made a world of difference to us knowing that we didnt have to worry about coco being too anxious while we were gone. On top of that, coco started having tummy troubles while we were gone, and Megan made sure to be super attentive and communicated through the whole trip to make sure we were as up to date as possible. Ifbi could rate her more than 5 stars I would!
Katherine was fantastic with taking care of my plants while I was on vacation. She is extremely friendly, courteous, and detail oriented. She followed detailed instructions without any problems. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking to take care of their plants or animals. I will be using indefinitely.
Daniel was able to help us out last minute with watching our dog over the weekend. We have a very timid dog who can be difficult to walk if he’s scared and Daniel was able to do a meet and greet and was able to gently connect with him and handle him over the weekend without any problems. He asked a lot of specific questions during the meet and greet in order to best care for our pup and sent a lot of updates throughout his visits.
A pleasure to work with. Very professional. I can't say enough about Quin. She cared for our dog, Wahini and rabbits , while we were gone, sending daily texts and photos of their adventures. We came home to a happy happy, well-fed dog. . Knowing she was in such loving, attentive hands put my mind completely at ease. We'll definitely book with Quin again!".

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Brooklyn is $15 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $20 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 7,542 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Brooklyn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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!
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.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Brooklyn with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Brooklyn. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
