“Avary is absolutely amazing! Such a sweet person that loves animals and with patience and a few Churus was able to win my cat Hanna over! Avary sent us multiple pictures and checked every detail with us to make sure we knew our kitty was taken care of. Thank you Avary! 100% would recommend 🥰🫶🏼”
“Hannah is amazing! I’ll never need to find another pet sitter again because she is perfect. My babies were taken care of so well and her updates were thorough as well as funny! My home and my pets were in great hands, I 100% recommended Hannah!”
“Tora took fantastic care of our girls and was a really wonderful sitter. We got detailed updates, photos, and videos every day, and I feel like she really was able to understand our cats’ different personalities right away. The got treats and plenty of play time. We were out of town for a few days during a heat wave, which I was nervous about, but Tora assured me every day that the apartment felt cool enough and that the girls didn’t seem hot! A great experience all around, and we definitely hope to book again with Tora!”
“Vivian was so attentive to my cat and very communicative. I love the pictures she sent of my cat while I was away. Would definitely recommend Vivian to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”
“Harriet was amazing! She was communicative, responsive, and alleviated all my concerns at leaving my skittish kitty for the first time. Highly recommend and I won’t hesitate to use her again in the future.”
“Liudmyla is a perfect cat person through and through. She completely understands how to take care of cats and gives them everything they need. There is not a better person in Brooklyn to take care of your loved one!”
“Lori was extremely attentive and kind to my cat, Beatrice. She is an older cat who needs a lot of care (special food, 2 different types of eye drops, liquid medication) and Lori took care of everything with no issues. She also kept me updated on each visit and sent lots of photos, which is always appreciated. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Laura was a pleasure to work with! She did a thorough job with cat check-ins while I was away on a weeklong trip including providing detailed descriptions of her visits and photos. Would definitely trust her with my fur baby again!”
“She did so great taking care of my three cats and keeping me updated. She was even able to give my very shy cat his inhaler after a couple of days which we thought was going to be impossible! Will definitely use her again :)”
“Molly was a great sitter!! My cat is super shy, but Molly was very persistent and patient with him. This proved incredibly important when I got home, because my cat doesn’t like it when I’m away for more than a day, and he’s prone to hiding for a few hours when I return. But since Molly was so good and attentive with him, he was so so quick to bounce back and be back to his regular self :) I’d highly recommend Molly!!”
“James was very communicative and did an excellent job taking care of my two very shy cats while I was away for Christmas. I appreciated the daily updates and that he stopped by to get the tour of my apartment beforehand!”
“Dale was a fantastic sitter for our kitty! He was super resourceful when there was an issue with our door on the first day. Dale is a great communicator and often shared notes and pictures that made me smile and laugh. I had no doubt Lucy was well taken care of and entertained! We plan to use him again in the future when we need a sitter.”
“Onyekachi is amazing! She took the time to really get to know my dog and communicates frequently, which gives me so much peace of mind. My dog is a senior and will be staying alone for the first time ever, so I was naturally nervous. Thanks to Onyekachi’s thoughtful drop-in visits and attentive care, I feel confident that my dog will be safe, comfortable, and very well cared for.”
“Taylor was amazing! So communicative and easy to work with. She sent us photos without us asking which was a nice surprise :) Amani seemed to really like her. We would highly recommend Taylor and will be sure to see if she is available if we need a cat sitter in the future.”
“Samantha was so wonderful with my senior cat, Lenny! She gave him his pills everyday, gave him lots of pets and attention, and sent me a lot of pictures which I really appreciated. She’s also super communicative and easy to get in touch with. I will definitely book Samantha again as I came home to a happy and healthy cat.”

Jennifer is wonderful! I rarely need a sitter for my little son, but I’m so glad I found her on short notice! She’s extremely communicative and really loves animals. She was on time, thorough, and made sure my cat was taken care of during the heatwave. I highly recommend Jennifer!
Madeleine took great care of our cats while we were away! Lots of playtime and brushing. She was especially good with our very shy Poppy girl (former feral) who usually takes some time to warm up but was running around and playing in no time! Madeleine even ran our robo vacuum before leaving each day which helps so much keeping things tidy for the girls and for us when we get back! Great communication and she sent lots of photos. Clearly someone who felt very safe for the girls to be running around and playing as much as they were! So appreciate knowing they were in great hands 💕

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Brooklyn on Rover is $26.64 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 12,118 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Brooklyn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Brooklyn. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
