About: I’m particularly fond of taking care of the most finicky and quirky pets with care, firmness and patience. Skilled at administering meds, going for long walks and spoiling with treats. I work per diem, so I have a lot of time to spare with your pet! Available for boarding on the weekends anytime after 2pm. I have a cat tower at home that’s strategically placed in front of a birdfeeder attached to the window. It makes for an excellent front row seat for hours of birdwatching.
“HANNAH IS THE BEST - Makes a point to play with our kittens on every visit and even tries to change up the toys based on their interests AND ALSO IS SO GOOD ABOUT CLEANING!! I have never asked or specified cleaning instructions because I didn't them to worry about that stuff but whenever I come back the area where the cats eat (which normally can get very messy) is spotless and all the cat cans are nicely rinsed out and thrown in the recycling bin. Still not something I would require or expect from from her but I ABSOLUTELY appreciate it!!”
“She is the BEST! I could tell my dog really like her. She came and play with the dog and does everything as instructed. Will definitely book with her again. Thank you”
“Katie was amazing! She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and little notes about her visit. She asked great questions and followed all of my pet specific requests. I felt comforted leaving my energetic lab puppy in such good hands!”
“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!”
“Megan was wonderful with our cat, and went above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable. She communicated promptly and thoroughly, which let us feel at ease as we traveled. We're very grateful to 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: I’ve recently started pet sitting for friends and family and found it very rewarding. At home I am use to looking after my dog Remy who is an 90 pound poodle mix along with my cat Mia. They both are a handful but they are members of the family that have prepared me for looking after others. I am currently attending graduate school and am looking to start work near my home. I am always looking for opportunities to pay my way while helping others. I will work to make time in my schedule to accommodate yours! I always try and be friendly and patient. At home my dog Remy takes medication nightly while also having quiet the personality. His boisterous nature can be hard to rein in but when he is given his time he settles.
“Christopher was amazing! Our anxious cat came right out to him and loved him! His updates were detailed and he kept us updated on everything! I’ll definitely book again!”
“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.”
“Sam is the only person that we trust to watch our dogs and he does such an excellent job each time. We've been using Sam for years and plan to continue to use him in the future.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since age 13 and I am 36. My family has had 3 at once and I currently have 2 of my own! I love all dogs and sizes. I am always down for playing, walking, and just keep them company! I work from my phone a lot - which makes walking and attending to dogs a lot easier. I am always around Locust walking my dogs or just hanging out somewhere outside letting them get fresh air for an extended period of time! Although I have a full-time job, I am able to pop in and out between work duties to see you pup! I also have a work phone which makes doing this for dogs a whole lot easier. My days vary, so I can typically work around when your pet needs to go out! My dogs eat better than I do! I pamper my 2 dogs and I will do the same for yours! I can crate your dog(s) and I can do anything you instruct
About: I take your pet’s routine seriously—and their little quirks personally. I’ve had dogs and cats throughout my life, and friends trust me to care for their pets while they’re away, including a British Shorthair cat and a dog. I know that feeling comfortable means more than a full food bowl: it means familiar routines, patience, attention, and company they actually enjoy. Whether your pet loves a long sniff-filled walk, endless playtime, or someone quietly sitting nearby, I’ll follow their lead. I’ll respect your instructions, keep you updated with photos, and pay attention to the little things you tell me matter. My goal is simple: a happy, comfortable pet—and you enjoying your time away without wondering how they’re doing. I can walk dog and feed cats anywhere from 7.30 am to 3 pm and 3.30 pm to 11 pm. Working from home so my schedule can be flexible I make a pet feels like home. I have a water fountain and can follow any diet restriction if needed. I have a three story town house and usually pets are on the first floor
“I was out of town & there was an emergency with one of my cats that my roommate reported. I reached out to heather to see if she could run over and check on my cat that night (super last minute) and she made it work and ensured that everything was okay! Always super happy with her as our pet sitter ❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brooklyn
Luke was incredible. This was our first time with him and it exceeded our expectations. Not only was he willing to meet our anxious little kitty beforehand, but sent detailed updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. We were so busy on our trip and never had to wonder if Panda was being cared for. If you are hesitant to book a Rover, I cannot recommend Luke enough for pets and especially cats!
Bri was absolutely wonderful from start to finish! She asked good questions and took notes when we met initially and was excited to meet the cats. I have a gregarious kitty and a very shy kitty and I was a little worried about leaving him with a stranger, but Bri met him were he was and earned his trust to where he was coming out to the common areas instead of hiding. She even helped feed our stray cat! Can't praise her highly enough. Thank you so much!
Alex was absoltuely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure my kitties were doing well and were comfortable. She kept their litter box super clean and was always trying to find them when they were being shy to make sure they were doing good. I also very much appreciate the daily photos and thorough updates!
Elias has been kind and attentive to our high energy, anxious hound mix, Moose. Moose was uncertain about Elias when they first met, but Elias went at his pace and gave him time and grace to adjust. Moose now LOVES playing with Elias. Elias has been great to work with — he’s responsive and flexible. We greatly appreciate his support with keeping Moose happy while we’re away at work. We highly recommend Elias to care for your pets.
Karla did an amazing job with our brand new puppy! I had to book her last minute which I was nervous about not having met her but she kept us updated along the way, sent a ton of pictures, and reassured us that our babies were taken care of. Will 100% book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Brooklyn is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 7,764 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Brooklyn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
