“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.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember! My pets have ranged from a 15 pound cockapoo to a 180 pound American Mastiff! I am a very gentle and caring person with a flexible mindset and happy to help where I can! I am a teacher who is on summer break! My schedule is fully open and ready to help at any time. I can be very flexible with my schedule and I am ambitious and ready to work. I have cared for dogs in multiple different home environments. I am comfortable with putting your pet in a crate if desired and spent my whole life walking my dogs as well. I’ve also worked with all ages and dogs and have administered medicine, trained dogs, and of course played with them all day long!
“Elias was on time for each visit and took great care of our senior golden retriever. Unfortunately, our golden had a few accidents and threw up on his doggy bed but Elias cleaned every mess without complaint and kept us informed. Overall, we are very pleased with how our fur baby was cared for. Would book again!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I am very patient with senior dogs and puppies and I love to see them happy. Overnight stays are easier since I have my own pets and I can monitor and walk them all together and keep them in a routine. My dog sleeps in his bed, he is an older dog so sleeps a lot and my cats sleep in their tree or couch. I live in a townhome with plenty of room for the babies to play and/or keep company
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
“Melissa was great! She and my kitten mango bonded quickly :-) Melissa is very responsible and I am very pleased with her service. I have booked her for two additional stays as a result.”
“Leah is the best! On top of taking care of my skittish and curmudgeonly cats perfectly, she takes the best photos and has a great sense of humor. I would trust her with my kitties again anytime.”
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. My family has owned dogs throughout my life, and I currently have two cats of my own. Through both personal and family experience, I have cared for pets of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I am a responsible, dependable, and caring person who understands that every pet has unique needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I will make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets while you’re away, and I strive to provide reliable care and peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a high school athletic trainer, my schedule becomes much more flexible during the summer when school is out. This gives me additional time throughout the week to dedicate to caring for pets and ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. I enjoy staying active, so incorporating walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins into my daily routine comes naturally. As a pet owner myself with two cats, I understand the importance of consistency and reliable care. Whether your pet needs a quick visit, a long walk, or extra companionship while you’re away, I have the time and flexibility to make sure they are well cared for and comfortable. I do not take care for animals in my home due to two cats already at home. In your home, I will be respectful of your space and the time that I have with your pet
About: READ ALL OF PROFILE: Hello! I have been a pet sitter for the past 3 years; but around animals my whole life. I recently moved to the area and I have a lot of free time at the moment.

“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: 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.
“Raechel is so warm and attentive, our cats were in fantastic hands! Great pictures, prompt, communicative, friendly - would absolutely book with Raechel again for future needs.”
“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.”

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!
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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.
