“Sarah did an amazing job looking after my ~9 month old cat while I was gone! She sent lots of photo updates to let me know that things were okay, and the my baby seemed very well taken care of. She cleaned the litter box and gave her lots of fresh water, just like I asked. I would definitely use her services again!”
“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.”
About: I have cared for several breeds, both big and small, over the past 10 years. I am a very active person and will have no issues keeping up with your dog. Starting in August, I will be unemployed as I transition to a new position. I am an early riser and can care for your pet any time of day. During drop-in visits, I always make sure that the pet has adequate food (based on their feeding schedule) and water, and that they have toys/TV to occupy them while they are alone! I like to take very active pets on walks during drop-in visits to get out their zoomies.
“Danika was super communicative and helpful during the holidays. My kitties were well taken care of (even if they wanted to hide). Will be booking again!”
“Rebecca is an amazing cat sitter! She is so kind, attentive, and incredibly responsive. When my cat's automatic feeder stopped working, she handled it right away—making sure my cat got fed and fixing the machine herself. Knowing my cat was in such caring and capable hands made my trip stress-free. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care!”
“Laura took such great care of our cat when we were away for a week! The photos and updates provided peace of mind so that we could enjoy our trip without worry. We will definitely be asking Laura to care for our kitty when we go out of town in the future!”
“First time with Erica and she was great! Very responsive and took very good care of our cats. Will definitely rebook in the future and definitely would recommend her!”
“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.”
“Samantha is awesome with my pets. She has come by for last minute drop ins and has always been reliable, friendly, and kind. Would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I grew up with two dogs: a 12 year old Golden Doodle and a 4 year old Cavapoo, so I’m very familiar with both senior dogs and younger, energetic pups. While they are my family dogs and not currently living with me, I’ve been involved in their care my entire life, handling walks and daily responsibilities, especially when my parents were at work and I took on most of their care. I’m comfortable with walks, feedings, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every dog like my own and enjoy getting to know their personalities! I work in the office Monday through Wednesday from 9:00–4:30, so my availability is a bit more limited during those days. However, I’m available during evenings on those days for walks or drop-ins. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays, which allows me to be much more flexible throughout the day for pet care. Weekends can vary for me—I tend to be busy Friday evenings and Saturdays, but Sundays are generally open and a good day for me to provide care. I follow the owner’s instructions closely to ensure pets are comfortable and following their normal routine. During walks, I focus on safe leash handling and choosing routes based on each dog’s needs. For drop-in visits, I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and lots of play time of course. I always respect clients’ homes and my goal is to keep pets happy, cared for, and at ease while their owners are away.
“Katie was so awesome taking care of Cooper and Sophie! She took our request on the day before we had to leave and she was so easy to work with. She put a normally anxious dog dad at peace immediately with how she was able to easily befriend both of our dogs and was instantly chilling with both of them. She was right on time, the pics of the dogs were comforting, and the dogs both looked happy and at peace. I recommend her for anyone that’s looking to have their dogs watched and will definitely reach out to her in the future.”
“Sam is the only person that we trust to watch our dogs and he does such an excellent job each time. We've been using Sam for years and plan to continue to use him in the future.”
About: Caring for others is what I do, and I bring that same level of attentiveness to pets as well. I am active and love getting outside for long walks, but I also understand every dog has different needs and energy levels. I'll tailor my care to make your pup feel comfortable, safe, and loved. My schedule is flexible throughout the week. I have weekends free and work alternating morning and afternoon shifts, which gives me availability at different times of the day. I prioritize keeping their routine, environment, and level of comfort as consistent as possible. I follow each owner's instructions clearly including any specific preferences their pet may have. I also treat each home with respect. My goal is to provide a calm and reliable presence so everyone has peace of mind.
About: Hello! My name is Lauren. I know it can be nerve wracking being away from your pet, even if it’s just for a few hours. With previous experience working in a veterinary office and pet care for many years, I want to help! I’ve been able to assist many family, friends, and others over the years and have been around animals all my life. I just moved to Maryland and am getting back to Rover again. I look forward to seeing them and taking care of them as if they were my own. I’m currently looking for a job, so I do have a lot of free time. I am able to help in feeding, walking, and playing. I am very transparent and like to update each visit. We can review what that looks like beforehand. Safety is a priority and I want to make this experience excellent for both you and your pet.
About: Growing up my family had 2 border terriers so I am familiar with the terrier breed and am used to the high-energy personalities. I also grew up with golden retrievers; my next door neighbor was a breeder and I would go over after school and help take care of the puppies and play with them. My first job when I was younger was to take care or neighbors pets while they were on vacation. Dogs, cats, fish, snakes you name it! My sister has a dog, my friends have dogs, and I can’t wait to have my own soon! My work schedules changes every month, but it is very flexible. I live less than 1 mile from work. This gives me the maximum amount of time to take care of and love your pet! I work 630-3 Monday-Friday and come home for lunch everyday. I wake up early, I get home early and I come home for lunch everyday. My work is very accommodating if I need for leave work for any reason. My dog loving wife works from home as well. I currently have no pets of my own so I can give 100% attention to yours! I’m happy to crate your pet if you wish and have no problem letting them roam freely at my house if they stay over.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Brooklyn
Our first time using Rover was with Stephanie! From day one, she has been fantastic to communicate with and very transparent. She took great care of our puppy and followed all of the instructions we left, leaving us feeling very good about the whole experience. We look forward to booking her again in the future!
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.
I’ve booked with Jessica multiple times, and she is always amazing! Whenever I travel, I have complete peace of mind knowing my dog is in the best hands. She provides multiple pictures with every visit and gives such detailed updates, so I always know how he’s doing. She’s reliable, attentive, and genuinely cares. I highly recommend Jessica and will continue booking with her!
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!".
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.

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.

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.
