“Katherine has done a great job taking care of Boomer and Betty! We look forward to her daily updates and have appreciated her taking the initiative to go above and beyond in caring for our fur-babies this week!”
“Tabitha was great. We were leaving our kitties for the first time ever, and it was for over a week, so I was feeling pretty anxious. Tabitha put me at ease from our first meeting. She was communicative, timely, and did everything we needed. Very appreciative of her!”
“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: With over ten years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds, I have developed a deep understanding of their unique needs and personalities. From playful puppies to senior cats, I provide attentive, compassionate care to ensure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well-loved. My commitment is to treat each animal with the same respect and dedication I would give my own. I’m currently working part tome while also attending school but can provide frequent check ins for your pets while also provide house sitting on weekends if needed. I provide dependable in-home pet care, ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own familiar environment. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is well cared for while you’re away.
“My pups Highly recommend Lidia - she is very professional and looks after them very well. She is also Very polite and genuinely loves animals. I have booked with her before and was equally impressed.”
“Super communicative, especially when my puppy isn’t feeling well. Very flexible and understanding with schedule changes and was available at the last minute.”
“Courtney was great with our 9 year old German Shepherd. Very responsible, professional and timely with drop-ins. Loved the notifications and pictures. Highly recommend and will derfinetly use Courtney as our dog sitter 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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Mélanie stepped in last minute to help with my fearful pup while I was out of town. I am greatly appreciative of her communication and help! Thank you, Melanie!”
“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!”
“Heather came through for us after we had a late cancellation for a cat-sitting. I reached out to several Rover sitters and she was the very first to respond. It meant the world to go on our family trip assured that our boy was in good hands. Heather sent photo updates and promptly messaged back: would absolutely recommend her!”
“If you need a cat sitter… JESSICA IS THE ONLY BEST/PERFECT option!! As someone who was very scared to leave my cat alone for the first time and not knowing anything about this app, I was very fortunate on finding Jessica to babysit my cat while I was away! She not only comes in to do her job, but she also makes sure to create a bond and play with your little friend! I have nothing but amazing things to say about her! She is the BEST!!! If anyone is worried about communication (like me) you have NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT! Jessica would send me photos of my cat and a summary of how their days went very fast! And if I had any questions or concerns, she would always reply back ASAP! Jessica is the ONE to take care of your little friends! (:”
“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!”
“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.”

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!
Stephanie is absolutely wonderful with Ollie! She always does such a great job taking care of him and, just as importantly, giving him lots of love and attention while I’m away. Ollie genuinely loves her visits and all the cuddles he gets from her. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s with someone he knows, trusts, and is happy to see. I always come home to a happy, relaxed boy, which means everything to me. I’m so grateful to have Stephanie as Ollie’s regular sitter and would highly recommend her! ❤️

Hannah was ACTUALLY the best!! We went on a week long trip and booked last min but Hannah was extremely flexible. I got SO excited every evening to see our cat photos because Hannah always took the best photos of them playing and being silly little beans. She always took like 10 photos and sent us lovely messages on how the cats were doing and made sure to play with them.
Finding someone you trust to care for your pets is never easy, but Quintunya has been everything I could have hoped for in a pet sitter. She has been caring for my two cats, Pudd and Puma, for the past year. From the very beginning, Quintunya has treated my fur babies with so much love, patience, and kindness. It's obvious that she genuinely cares about them. Knowing that Pudd and Puma are safe, loved, and receiving so much attention while I'm away gives me incredible peace of mind. If you're looking for someone who will care for your pets as if they were her own, I wholeheartedly recommend Quintunya. She is truly one of a kind, and Pudd, Puma, and I are so lucky to have her in our lives.
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!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Brooklyn on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 7,944 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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
