“Gabby took excellent care of my two cats and shared great updates and pictures. She was easy to coordinate with, and handled extra cleaning up after an unexpected pet mess thoroughly.”
“Kelli was amazing, she was wonderful at managing my super anxious little guy and he warmed up to her so quickly. She put in extra effort to make sure he was happy and calm and sent us pics and updates for each drop-in. We will definitely be booking Kelli again.”
“Megan was an amazing caretaker of my cat. She was very attentive to detail and her visits provided the comfort my senior cat was longing for while I was away for six nights. I’m looking forward to provide her services whenever I’ll be out of town.”

About: I have continuously been the friend and family member that is trusted with dog sitting. I have had experience with senior dog care and with babies as well. I am a very well-rounded worker! I am currently a full-time employee but telework parts of the week! I have plenty of time to fully support you and your pets needs! I treat your space, as well as your pets space with respect at all times. I am a trustworthy person who follows directions extremely precisely.
About: I have a big yellow Labrador and I have been taking care of him all of his life! He is 14 so he is a senior and I have watched younger dogs many times also! I am a college student so right now I have the summer off, but I work mainly on the weekends for Howard County as sports tournament staff! While visiting a clients home I can easily make sure the pet will be safe based on what the pet’s needs are! I am also a collegiate athlete so I will be an active sitter/walker for your pet!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have had Labrador Retrievers in my family since the day I was born. Being around dogs has always been second nature to me, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I actually started dog sitting when I was about 10 years old—long before apps like Rover existed! I made little newsletters and put them in my neighbors’ mailboxes offering pet sitting and dog walking services. In high school, I had a regular job with a neighbor where I would let their dogs out every day after school for several years. Caring for animals has always been something I’ve done naturally, and I treat every dog like they’re part of the family. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away, and I take that responsibility seriously. I work fully remote from 9–5, which gives me a lot of flexibility when caring for pets. I’m able to stay with your dog and work from your home during the day, and I can also stop by to let them out during gaps in meetings or over my lunch break. Because I work remotely, your dog won’t be left alone for long periods of time, and I’m able to keep a close eye on them throughout the day. I’m also available on weekends and can stop by to let dogs out as needed. I love being active and going on walks, so taking dogs out for walks fits perfectly into my daily routine! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to follow the owner’s routine and preferences as closely as possible. I know every dog is different, and I’m happy to do whatever helps them feel most comfortable while you’re away. I’m very respectful of other people’s homes and will treat your space with care. If you have a fenced yard, I’m happy to let your dog out to play and get some fresh air. If not, I’m more than happy to take them out on walks for exercise and bathroom breaks. I can also crate your dog if that’s part of their normal routine, provide meals, refresh water, and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away
About: I’ve been pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors since I was a kid and have always enjoyed spending time with animals. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I regularly help care for my siblings’ dogs and my roommates cat! I currently have an internship on Monday and Tuesdays, so I’m available after 6pm on those days. The rest of the week, my schedule is very flexible and I’m available Wednesday through Sunday for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. When caring for pets, I always follow any instructions given and stick to the pet’s usual routine. I try to spend as much time with them as possible and give them plenty of attention and care. I also make sure to send consistent updates and photos!
“My cats loved Melissa. One of my cats is diabetic, so it is very important his routine is the same every day. I appreciated getting the photos and updates on his eating habits while I was gone. She even managed to win over my elderly cat who doesn’t like meeting new people. I hope I’ll be able to engage her services again for my next vacation.”
“Grace did a very good job of feeding and playing with our cat and giving him affection. Our cat is very fond of her so we felt completely reassured that our cat was happy when we were gone.”
“This is the second time Leah has watched my cats while I’m out of town and she is definitely my go-to cat sitter! She is thorough, gives my cats lots of love, sends great pics of them, and my cats love her. I totally trust her taking care of them while I am out of town and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
About: I have lifelong experience with animals. I grew up on a farm caring for cows and chickens, and I have pets of my own, so responsibility and consistency are second nature to me. I’m patient and attentive with pets of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors who may need extra care. I’m also comfortable administering medications and carefully following detailed care instructions. I pay close attention to routines and behavior, and I treat every pet like family while keeping owners updated for peace of mind. I currently work full-time, but I have flexibility in my schedule on Mondays thru Fridays. I am very flexible and available most Saturdays and Sundays. I do my best to accommodate pet parents’ needs and am happy to discuss scheduling options to find a time that works for everyone. I treat every pet like my own, follow routines carefully, respect your home, and prioritize safety so you can feel confident while you're away. Thanks.
About: I had a Great Dane who needed lots of attention and care. He was a gentle giant! I played with him, went on long walks everyday, and hung out with him! I love all kinds of dogs! I have experience with really all kinds of dogs from any age. I am very patient and reliable and always treat your dog as my own! I make sure your dog gets the care to their unique needs! I have a very flexible work schedule where I will have time to walk the dog, feed the dog, and play with the dog! I am happy to tailor my time to fit your dog’s needs. I want to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re gone! I am very caring, where I love to hangout with dogs! I love going on long walks where I would take the dogs with me! I aim to keep your dogs routine where it wouldn’t be any kind of change for them. I will send you messages and pictures of your dogs!
“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.”
“Excellent service! My cat was in great shape and everything had been taken care of exactly according to instructions. I got detailed updates every day, with pictures, so I never had to worry about how he was doing. I would highly recommend Simone!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, extra playtime, or a little patience and encouragement, I’m happy to provide attentive care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and bathroom breaks while making sure each pet receives the attention and care they need. I’m committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative so pet parents always know their furry family member is in good hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and walking preferences. During walks, I remain attentive to my surroundings and keep pets securely leashed unless otherwise instructed in a safe, enclosed area. In your home, I will respect your space, maintain your pet’s routine, and provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care while you’re away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Brooklyn
Stephanie, was great, I was going away for a day trip in New York with my daughter and we met. She was very nice very pleasant by Dogs liked her. We scheduled three visits for the day. She came on time and followed the instructions that I left for her. She was very professional as a dog border myself. I really appreciate it her.
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!".
Catherine took wonderful care of Bella. When a few unexpected issues came up, Catherine handled them calmly and efficiently, keeping us informed and problem-solving without hesitation. Bella was comfortable, happy, and well cared for when we returned, which says everything. Reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, Catherine gave us peace of mind and earned our full trust. We would gladly recommend her to anyone who wants their pet treated like family.
Cheyenne checked in on our three pets (2 dogs, 1 cat) while we were away. She gave them lots of snuggles and they immediately warmed up to her. Even my shy kitty came out to say hi and fight for pets from her, my dogs were taking all of her time/hands haha. Cheyenne was very responsive, and did everything i asked her to do! (it was a lot). Thank you, Cheyenne. We will most definitely keep you in mind for future trips!
Solomiya became Chino’s new best friend. She was very attentive, reporting and checking with us promptly. We are happy to have found her in our neighborhood not only for convenience but also someone we can truly rely on. Will be reaching out to her for future dog boarding or checkins.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Brooklyn stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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 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.
