“Hannah was great. We booked her for a weekend to watch our cats, one of which has special needs. She took great care of them and made sure he got his medicine. Will definitely book her again.”
“Erica was phenomenal! Not only was she personable during the meet and greet, but she also went above and beyond with our pets and our house. She brought in all of our packages, took pictures of damaged packages so we were aware, and washed out our pet’s food and water bowls during her last visit. We will definitely book with her 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.”
“Grateful to Tabitha for taking care of Luna and Oliver while we were out of town! Luna was happy for the company and both cats were well taken care of during the visit.”

“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!”

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, often 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 unique 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.
“Michelle took great care of my cats while I was away. She spent a full hour with them every day, and sometimes even longer, making sure they had fresh food, plenty of water, clean litter, and engagement. I especially appreciated how consistent and dependable she was with the daily care routine. One of my cats can be a little particular and attached to his usual way of playing, but Michelle made sure he was safe, cared for, and checked on. She also seemed to really bond with Emi, which meant a lot to me. It gave me peace of mind knowing they had someone patient and attentive coming by each day. I’d happily recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.”
About: I have two indoor cats that I have raised for the last two years. However, when growing up I always had multiple dogs in my house that I helped care for, specifically Great Danes and Labradors. I know how to care for them and am looking forward to treating them as if they were my own. I work full time from 6:30am to 3:00pm, so I am unavailable during those times. I can walk or check in on your pets anytime during the weekend, evenings, or early mornings depending on customer needs. I provide services in others homes, not my own and I will respect any boundaries that are set. I am willing to meet parents and animals before a service so they get to know me and are comfortable with me around their pets.
“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.”
“Sylvia was wonderful!! Provided great information and photos. The cats loved her, they don't usually come out for sitters but they adored her and it was clear she made an effort to cultivate a relationship with them. I definitely plan to book with her again.”
About: Growing up with dogs of all sizes, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience caring for pets and providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care to every dog. I currently have a highly flexible schedule, so I can be available almost any time other than Mondays and Wednesdays! I tend to be busier on the weekends, but I can still make it work if needed :) I prioritize every pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while in a client’s home. I have experience handling and training dogs, so I’m confident managing different temperaments, using crates when needed, and ensuring pets feel secure and cared for before, during, and after walks.
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.
“Audrey took such wonderful, loving care of my cat. It took a few days for my cat to warm up to her, but once she did she couldn’t get enough of Audrey. I would definitely book Audrey again.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Brooklyn is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brooklyn
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 an angel! My baby boy was so well taken care of. I was unfortunately called away for last minute travel and then had travel complications and Stephanie was not only able to help out last minute but she also adjusted her schedule to add on an extra day. Stephanie was super communicative and provided so many pictures. I will definitely be using Stephanie again and highly recommend her!
My wife and I have had Sylvia petsit for us a few times now, from a couple days to a week or more. Everytime she is thoughtful, communicative, and addresses our wide array of pets needs with the utmost professionalism. Having 3 cats and a few reptiles with different care routines means we ask a lot but she always steps up to the plate. Sylvia really goes above and beyond and we couldn’t recommend her more!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Brooklyn on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 8,042 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Brooklyn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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
- 95% 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.
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.
