“Kemmesha fat exceeded our expectations, she went above and better to not only take care of our mini poodle while we were in the hospital having our baby, but she also was kind enough to provide us with updates for peace of mind while away from our furr baby. With Kemmesha sitting my pup at my home, i felt comfortable and relaxed enough to focus on my baby and my recovery while in the hospital. Cant stress enough, how grateful I am to have found her on here. She’s kind, respectful of our home and wishes, did everything we asked, genuinely cared for our anxious sad puppy, and best of all stayed day and night to ensure our peace of mind while going through the most stressful yet joyous day of our lives! Im eternally grateful 🥹”
“Erica did a great job taking care of our home and two kittens while my family was on vacation. She sent us regular updates and left our home in clean and good condition. We appreciated her flexibility when our flight has to be rescheduled. She has a fun personality and we enjoyed her sense of humor. I know our kitties loved her as well. Will rebook in the future. THANKS!!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner most of my life and have taken care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I am the one they always rely on to care for there’s pets and I hope to do the same for you. I’m currently looking for a job, so I will have lots of free time to care for your pets, and with flexible scheduling to what days you might need. Caring for pets at the client’s home I would make sure to ask where they keep the food, treats, toys for the pets, and cleaning supplies just in case if they make an accident by chance.
“Joey was fantastic! He stopped by before the sit to meet Pixie and Austin, and it was immediately obvious how much he genuinely loves animals. Both of my pets were comfortable with him right away, which gave me a lot of peace of mind before leaving. While I was away, he kept me updated with messages and photos, so I always knew everyone was doing well. When I returned home, my house was just as clean and tidy as I had left it, and both Pixie and Austin were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Joey is friendly, outgoing, trustworthy, and was a pleasure to work with. In fact, I was so happy with the experience that I've already booked him again for another pet sit next month. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will take great care of both their pets and their home!”
“Briana was great! We had a special situation where our two pups just met and so they had to be separated during her visit. And both of them are anxious. Briana handled it perfectly and was so sweet to them. From the minute we met her we knew she’d be excellent with our pups. She is reliable, responsible, communicative and so sweet. She gave us so much peace of mind we were able to enjoy our vacation. We will definitely use her again. Highly Recommend!”
“Samantha stayed in our home with our two girls. She updated me everyday and was a very respectful house guest! Everything was tidy and just where we had left it. The girls were happy and I doubt they missed us at all 😂. I would definitely recommend Sam!”
“James has dog sat for us multiple times now! He sends frequent updates about how the dogs are doing and makes sure our home is well taken care of. We are confident our dogs are happy and cared for when James is with them and will continue to work with him whenever possible!”
“We have never had a pet sitter before, and our 4 cats do well on their own for a few nights, but our new puppy needed care while we traveled out of state. Megan was fantastic! She asked clarification questions we wouldn't have thought of, took excellent care of all our fur kiddos, and we loved her updates and photos throughout the sitting experience. Our home was as we left it and Megan was genuinely enjoyable to interact with! Additionally, she is a veterinary technician and that provides extra comfort. Our kitties and puppy would gladly hang out with Megan again!”
“Danie is ah-mazing! It takes a lot for me to entrust my home and my pups to a stranger, but Danie put me at ease! She is very reliable, super sweet and my girls love her! When I came home, the place looked like she was never even there. I recommend Danie any time you need an in-home sitter - she won't disappoint!”
About: I love four legged (or less) family members and pets. I currently have two pets of my own - a chill 6 year old Australian & Shephard mix, and a fierce independent 8 year old cat. I provide two walks daily for boarders, day care and housesitting, reoccurring walks and drops in for cats and dogs. I am conveniently located 12 min drive from BWI, 14 drive from the Baltimore Greyhound station and less than 5 minutes away from two pet hospitals. What will your fur baby need for their stay? Their food and treats, and we got the rest. Beds, toys, bowls, & Easy Walks and Leash will be used. Dogs must wear a collar and/or be microchipped. If no collar is worn, one will be provided. Cats will be able to stretch their legs freely, enjoy tall cat trees, beds and windowsill perches. Litter/litter box will be provided. What to Know Before Booking: • Meet-and-Greet before their stay, drop-in, day care or housesitting. A 15-20 minute to discuss pet needs will be conducted in the backyard or at your home (drop in, walking or housesitting). • Daily Communication: 1-2 updates a day with photos. Detailed rover cards for walks and drops ins. You will find me to be flexible, reliable and a great pet photographer! • Free-roaming vs. Crates: Dogs will free roam during the day while at home, unless they would benefit from being crated/ require a space to feel safe. At night dogs will either free roam or sleep in crate. •Ensure Safety and Cleanliness: Pet items are routinely washed, including your own. All humans will hand off pets and items outside. Keeps the house clean and Saint/ Amada (dog and cat) and other humans who live here happier. •Hygiene: Just as humans get dolled up for travel.

Luxury Pet Stay: Humans and/or dogs who require to be the only guest will have different pricing $105/ night excluding holiday rates or $50/ day care. What to Expect During Drop off and Pick-Up All pickups and drop-offs are conducted outdoors. We are a no-outdoor shoes household. Please text when you arrive; I will bring your pet and belongings outside. Flexible Pickup and Drop Off Between 9am -9pm. After Hours Pickup and Drop will incur an additional $20 per pickup/drop off or an additional night at standard rate. I am in graduate school, when I'm not studying or in class I have time for taking care of other's fur babies. Caring for pets keeps me sane and brings me joy. At home there is a sizable fenced back yard (6 feet privacy fence) with a Australian/ German shepherd mix who is super friendly, & a cat who sticks to the window. We have plenty of dog toys, treats ( I won't tell the vet), sizeable beds, food bowls and cuddles.
“This was our 3rd time working with Katie, and we continue to have positive experiences with her! We love all the pictures she sends us of the pups. This most recent stay was during our wedding. We came home to decorations and a sweet gift. She goes above and beyond! Thank you so much!!”
“My dog seemed very happy and my house was well looked after. Gavin was great. Very loving and attentive to my dog. I got pictures daily and that gave me peace of mind.”
“Despite having a personal emergency at the start of the pet sitting booking, Hannah was still able to take care of my dog. I can tell she is a true animal lover and sent great picture updates of my dog eating, cuddling, and going on walks. My dog was very happy to see her and my pup's needs seem well taken care of upon my return.”
“Melanie was fantastic!! She gave our very old dog careful attention and living kindness. She cleaned up poop messes and totally accepted all our dog’s senior needs. She maintained very close communication and let us know when she had concerns about our dog’s health. She was amazing!”
“Naya is a repeat house sitter for my big silly pit mix and my elderly cat. She does an incredible job of following all instructions and balancing the needs of my dog and senior cat. We trust Naya!”
“Marissa was amazing! She sent us updates and pics all the time! Communication was great! She gave our pups so much extra attention and even a little much needed training!!! Will definitely use her again. She was the best!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Brooklyn is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brooklyn
Hannah was an incredible guardian for Higgins at our home during our week-long trip. She followed our care guide closely and gave great attention to every detail of our labradoodle's care (walking, mealtimes, snuggles) AND to treating our home like it was her own, we truly couldn't have asked for better!! Hannah asked considerate and thorough questions about our pet's specific needs, and provided excellent updates day-to-day to ensure the best experience possible. It was obvious how much love and professionalism she brought into the experience, and clear that she is not only a wonderful friend to animals, she is also a wonderful person! We are happy to have Hannah in our orbit and would book her again in a heart beat.
Emily was wonderful with my pug puppy, Peaches! She watched her for the weekend, and I felt at ease knowing she was in great hands. Emily was communicative, prompt, and kept me updated with messages and photos. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. Would definitely book again!
We have never had a pet sitter before, and our 4 cats do well on their own for a few nights, but our new puppy needed care while we traveled out of state. Megan was fantastic! She asked clarification questions we wouldn't have thought of, took excellent care of all our fur kiddos, and we loved her updates and photos throughout the sitting experience. Our home was as we left it and Megan was genuinely enjoyable to interact with! Additionally, she is a veterinary technician and that provides extra comfort. Our kitties and puppy would gladly hang out with Megan again!
Erica was wonderful with my three fluffers while I was away on a work trip for a week. She stayed in our home and arrived right on time, communicated often, including videos and pictures, and was very respectful of the house. After a slew of really bad sitters, Erica was a breath of fresh air. We will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much, Eric!
Sarah is great!! I would definitely recommend her (and already have recommended her to friends). She stayed in our house and took care of our dog. She sent daily photo and video updates of him, and she took great care of the house while we were gone. She is very communicative. Thank you, Sarah!
Joey was fantastic! He stopped by before the sit to meet Pixie and Austin, and it was immediately obvious how much he genuinely loves animals. Both of my pets were comfortable with him right away, which gave me a lot of peace of mind before leaving. While I was away, he kept me updated with messages and photos, so I always knew everyone was doing well. When I returned home, my house was just as clean and tidy as I had left it, and both Pixie and Austin were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Joey is friendly, outgoing, trustworthy, and was a pleasure to work with. In fact, I was so happy with the experience that I've already booked him again for another pet sit next month. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will take great care of both their pets and their home!
Emily took great care of our dog Kaia while we were away. She sent frequent updates which put our minds at ease. It was clear when we got home that Kaia had a great time with her. She seemed relaxed and content. We look forward to Emily spending time with Kaia again in the future!
Briana is fantastic. She is dependable, responsible, and an excellent communicator. And also a cat whisperer! Even my shy kitty loved her! I cannot thank Briana enough for taking such thoughtful, generous care of my 2 kitties. I would recommend her without hesitation.
We took a chance on Amy after we had a bad experience with a previous sitter, and we are so glad we did. Amy has such a cool and calm vibe and energy. I immediately felt comfortable with her, and so did Rani! She made sure she kept in touch regularly and asked questions to make sure everything went well. She even cleaned our house and washed our sheets before we came home! She also texted us after she left to make sure we arrived home okay and that our dog was not left alone. I cannot recommend Amy enough. She just moved to the area which is why she doesn't have any recent reviews but she's awesome!
Gavin was exceptional watching our sweet pup! He was very proactive in communication & sending updates, and very responsive. Peu was well taken care of and he seemed very attentive to her needs. He did not shy away from her big personality (or the fact she is a 100 pound puppy), played well with her, and did an awesome job overall with her. Would definitely recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Brooklyn on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,198 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brooklyn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Brooklyn walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Brooklyn maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Brooklyn. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
