“Afiya was an incredible cat sitter while I was away on a work trip! She was always timely, communicative, and an all-around pleasure to work with. I will definitely be using her again when I am away next!”
“Charlotte was so wonderful! She’s very communicative and she took really good care of our kitty. We loved the photos and videos she sent- it calmed all of our worries. Overall great first time experience with the app. We would certainly recommend Charlotte and would ask her to watch our little cat again!”
“Ashanti is easy to coordinate with! She follows all instructions well & I can tell my cat is happy when she visits. I feel at ease knowing she’s checking on him.”
“Raquel is the best sitter! She keeps me up to date with detailed check in cards and lots of pics. I know my kitty is well cared for while I’m away. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Cadence did a great job of taking care of Martin. He even opted not to tear apart various random objects prior to my return, which means he must have already spent considerable energy playing during her visits! She sent me some great photos too!”
“Tamim is amazing!! He is extremely communicative, attentive to my pet’s needs, and takes lots of photos, which I really appreciated!! Highly, highly recommend.”
“Eileen was lovely and great at communication. Came at an agreed time, sent detailed reports from her visits and lots of nice pictures. She took her time to hang out with our cat and pet her which I appreciated. She even brought packages inside. Absolutely no complaints and would love to hire her again.”
“Ashley was a phenomenal pet sitter! She was communicative and patient. Our kitties really took a liking to her, even Kali who’s a little shy. Her thorough visit summaries gave us some peace of mind while away and she was quick to inform us of any issues or if she had any questions. I would highly recommend Ashley; she was friendly, efficient and very caring. Will definitely rebook with her in the future.”
About: I've been dog-walking for friends and neighbors since I was a kid, and post-college began dog-walking professionally in Brooklyn and Manhattan. I've cared for dogs young and old, and I tailor my care to each specific dog's needs, including health-related exercise restrictions and the dog's level of comfort around other animals and people. I work at a coffee shop in Brooklyn about five days a week. Mostly available for morning or evening drop-in visits, but I'm fairly flexible! I am a mom to a shy rescue kitty named Crowley. When he first came into my life, he was scared of people, so it has been a steady journey of building trust with him, making sure he feels safe and comfortable. He's made a lot of progress in the time that I've had him, trusting me, becoming more social with guests, and generally living his best life as a silly, spunky little guy. It just goes to show what a world of difference a loving home can make!
About: We are a married couple who both absolutely adore caring for fur babies. Caleb grew up with multiple family dogs and has experience caring for many different pups. We adopted our rescue dog, Yoshi, in 2023, and are familiar with managing different pet issues such as anxiety, daily meds, strict routines, recent injuries, and more! Caleb is currently at home full time during the week, and Gaby is home all evenings, on weekends, and one weekday per week. Since we have a dog of our own, we can easily fit your pup’s daily needs into our existing routine! Our small dog Yoshi is gentle and friendly. He is usually quite shy around new dogs but has never had any problems with other dogs. We live right next to Prospect Park, so you can be sure that your dog’s daily activity needs will be met!
“Julia was amazing watching our cats for the weekend! She was able to give oral medication twice daily to my cat without any issues. My cats seemed very happy throughout the visit and she sent lots of pictures. I will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I love pets of all kinds and actively engage them when I visit. I can take out and walk dogs as needed or just hang out with your dog, cat, or both. I’m a grad student doing classes at night, so most days in the morning through daytime are available. I can work with you to be flexible where possible. I can adapt to any home situation, just be communicative on what you have and what you need. Excited to get to know your pet(s).
“Julia is such a fantastic cat sitter! I had a last minute need for cat care and she was able to help. She's very responsive, showed up on time and really loves cats. I would definitely recommend her for your pets.”
“Andy was great with my spicy Calico and even got her to take treats from him, which is no small feat. He was prompt with the reports and took lots of photos, and was very helpful in the emergency I was dealing with. Absolutely would book him again.”
“Mileena is an absolute lifesaver! I was in a massive pinch when my regular sitter was out of town, and finding Mileena was a total blessing. From the initial meet and greet, she was incredibly calm, friendly, and thorough. She even sat with me during feeding time to ensure she got the routine right. Right before my trip, one of my cats developed severe bronchitis. I had to delay my trip, and Mileena was incredibly accommodating with the schedule change. My cat also required a challenging inhaler medication, but she handled it like a pro, sending me consistent updates and video confirmations that gave me peace of mind. To top it all off, a family emergency delayed my return home by several hours. Mileena stayed extra time without hesitation to make sure my cat got his evening medication. I came home to a perfectly clean house, used towels already in the washing machine, and Cat TV playing for the babies. She is a gem, and I cannot recommend her enough!”
“She is one of a kind! My cats clicked with her right away and she is extremely sweet and pleasant to deal with. From my side I’ve had a very good experience, but from my cats side they loved her! Every picture from the cards was great and they truly seemed to like Brittany. It’s hard to search for a good cat sitter as there were many bad experiences in the past. But Brittany is one of those rare people that once you get her on board you want to hold on tight with her, so when the next vacation comes I can go to sleep well at night, knowing my cats are in the best hands as possible.”
“Lilli was fantastic! She provided check-in texts each time she came over and general updates on how my baby was doing/responding to food/water/me being gone. Super friendly and so understanding of all cat behaviors (mine is super shy, but Lilli was so kind to her)! ☺️”
About: Anyone who has ever loved a Rottie, Shepherd, or Boxer knows that they’re just big babies, and cat parents know who really rules the house! I grew up with a Rottweiler, German Shepherds, and multiple cats of varying personalities, and I’ve been an animal lover ever since! I know both cats and dogs well enough to read their body language, and I always approach them on their terms. Does your pup need exercise, but you’re stuck in meetings all day? Let me take them for a walk in the park! Have a last-minute dinner after work in the city and need someone to feed your dog? I’m your person! Though I live with a cat currently, I miss the pure joy that is seeing a happy doggo. I know what it’s like to be a pet owner and have a hectic life or last-minute trips, so let me take some of that stress away from you! Every new client includes a meet-and-greet where we will go over your pet’s likes, dislikes, and favorite treats and toys! I’ll also be sure to verify your vet information and what you would like me to do in an emergency. I can’t wait to meet you and your little one! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions. 😊 I am a writer who works from home with a flexible schedule, so pet care is the perfect addition to my day! I’m always looking for an excuse to get out of the apartment, and taking care of furry friends is the perfect way to do so! During our meet-and-greet, I will go over all of your pet’s preferences, meal and/or medication times, and what to do in an emergency! During the visit, you can expect me to be professional and respect your little one’s space. It is their home, after all! Let me know if you’d like me to water your plants as well if you’re on a trip. I’m here to make your life easier!

This was my second time booking with Pei Hsuan and I felt fully at ease the second time around knowing my cat was in good hands. Pei Hsuan is wonderful, sent me lots of details and photos, and went above and beyond when she noticed potential hazards for my cat. My cat is also on the anxious side and quickly warmed up to her. Highly recommend!!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Brooklyn is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $39 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.

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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

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 , 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.
