About: Ive loved with a dog since high-school and have had cats on and off for years. I currently have a dog and pet sit dogs ( and cats) for fun. My own dog is well trained and very kind so you don't need to worry about your pet. I work full time but I have a very flexible schedule and I'm home during the weekends. Especially since I have a dog of my own. I have a friendly dog whose very playful and a lot of space in the house for animals to play. I already have dog toys and treats
“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!!”
“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.”
“So glad we found Bayley as our husky's new friend! Our pup took to her right away when Bayley dropped in to give her dinner. We're looking forward to her boarding at Bayley's in a few weeks.”
“I am a return customer. I made a mistake and missed the window to review on her previous visit, so I had to make sure to tell you guys how Jules is awesome. My dogs love her. Jules followed the instructions on feeding them perfectly so it’s like I never left. It’s so peaceful knowing my dogs are in good reliable care. I tell my friends to Book Jules.”
“Kathleen was a lifesaver. We were away for a day trip and had scheduled her to walk our dog mid-day. While we were on the trip we had an emergency that made it impossible for us to get home to walk and feed our dog that evening as planned. Kathleen was quick to respond and helped us out last-minute for a second visit the same day.”
“Melissa is phenomenal! I cannot say enough great things about the service she provides to my cat! It's nice to be able to go out of town and completely trust her as my pet sitter.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Raechel was wonderful with my cat and sent lots of pics and videos to assure me that my fur baby was doing well. She even brought extra toys to play with.”
“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!”
“Ariel did a great job taking care of our two cats. She was very respectful of our space and reliably communicated with me about our shy cat who likes to hide. We’d be happy to book her again!”
“Chris was so great! I was nervous about leaving my boy home alone for 2 full days, but Chris was on time, took lots of pics, and gave me a full report on their activities! Pup seemed super relaxed by the time I got home.”

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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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 .
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 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.
