About: Even though I’ve never had a dog of my own, it was always in my heart since I was a child to always love them. I used to help my uncle take care of dogs because he used to dog sit in our home. I would hope by feeding them and walking them. I’m free most of the time and I’d like to do something with my free time so since I love dogs, why not get paid to hang out with a bunch of fur babies! Although I’m not offering home boarding at the moment, I live in a small three bedroom apartment so I just believe it wouldn’t be best for a dog at this time.

About: Hi there! Here's a quick intro to my skillset: • 11+ years dog sitting, walking, & boarding • Personal & professional experience with caring for dogs of every age, including puppies and seniors • Ability to administer oral, topical, & injectable medications • Familiarity with crate, leash & potty training methods • Knowledge of basic grooming, including poodles/double-coats I hope to see your pup soon! As a student training for a fall passage along El Camino, I like to get outside and explore as much as possible! I'm an avid birder and particularly love trail hikes, though I make sure to leave the binos at home when there's furry company. As an early bird/night owl (and on summer vacation!) my schedule is flexible and can readily be adjusted to accommodate last-minute requests. I hope to meet you soon! I was born into a home with a beagle, 25 pounds of guile and cunning. Two decades past, hounds have trained me well. All doors will be closed, gates latched, bags kept out of reach. Raisins? Never heard of them.

I've had the pleasure of having Rachelle as my sitter for a while now. This is my first puppy and unfortunately, it seems I picked the sickly puppy from the breeder as he's had many issues. However, that never stopped Rachelle. She has been a joy who has been my support when my puppy needs additional care and patience. If you want someone who proactive, communicative, and kind then look no further.

About: I have taking a vet science course for 3 years, where I have been taught to care for many different animals. I also have experience in taking care of animals myself a rabbit, a guinea pig, and a Labrador retriever. I am currently on break from college and looking to fill my days with jobs that gives me different experiences everyday even better if it’s doing something I love. When I care for my pets and hopefully yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routine, and any special instructions you share. I love taking long walks, so your animal will get plenty of exercise and outdoor time. I will keep their space clean, give a lot of attention, and send regular updates and photos with permission throughout their day.

About: I moved to NYC about 3 years ago for college and started dog walking and sitting for a side job when I was a freshman. Have been doing it ever since and now I have my own apartment to upgrade to walking and boarding as well. I am a pet sibling myself and have dealt with caring for multiple breeds, ages, and sizes, even cats! I was mostly providing services on Wag in NYC and back home in Hawaii but am looking to expand to the awesome pet parents on Rover! I currently work full-time but my boss is very flexible with my schedules usually giving my days off in a row if there’s no help needed. My girlfriend is also a dog sitter and can help me if I have to work, so your animals are always with someone and in the best care. If I am not working I will be working full time for your animals! Currently I have no other pets or animals in the unit. Our building is very secure with elevator access to support any older animals. My apartment is also right next to Prospect Park offering a lot of play area and routes to walk.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I can remember. Love to take them on walks and play with them. Have experience giving medicine to them. Because I am currently freelancing with a highly flexible schedule, pet care is my primary focus! I have open availability any day of the week, including weekends. This means I can seamlessly adapt to your pet's specific routine, offering frequent potty breaks, timely feedings, and plenty of companionship right when they need it. Safety and trust are my absolute top priorities. I closely follow your exact household rules, feeding guidelines, and medication schedules to keep your pet's routine consistent. During outdoor walks, I keep dogs securely leashed and stay highly alert to our surroundings. I also respect feline boundaries for cats, making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their space. I'll send regular photo updates so you always have total peace of mind.

About: Cadence here - your new sitter! My affinity with animals started with my first rescue cat at 5 years old. Since then, I’ve worked with several shelters (both in-house volunteering and at-home fostering), families and friends to bring care to furry friends across the country. My experience includes kittens, young dogs and seniors. I understand that every pet has their own needs - whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just hanging out for company. I specialize in professionalism, predictability and most importantly, matching the energy of your pet. I can’t wait to meet your baby! I work full-time with a flexible corporate schedule! I’m generally available weekdays 4pm to 10am, weekends and holidays for both drop-in visits or walks. I take pride in my “Type-A” ability to follow your care instructions, stay organized, and keep your pets comfortable. For visits, I can provide fresh food, water, medications, cleanup and playtime. For walks, I can also tailor the length, pace and routes to your pets’ energy level and needs. Expect consistent updates and photos of how your pet is doing, especially if something is unusual (like changes in energy, appetite or behavior). Love and cuddles come with all services!

I was so anxious to leave my kitty for the weekend and Arnelle did a fantastic job at soothing my nerves. She was the first sitter I booked through this app and was incredibly flexible in terms of all of the logistics. From the photos she sent of Mickey, I could tell he was thrilled to see her. Will certainly be booking with her again in the future!

About: I do this to give a helping hand to other dog owners. I have taken care of my Misty since the age of 8weeks, who is fully potty trained. I have 8 years of experience sitting mostly small to medium size dogs I am looking for ways to meet new fur friends and pawrents alike. Misty is extremely friendly enjoys companionship and loves to run and play especially with other dogs. I enjoy the outdoors and having the opportunity to provide a safe, pet friendly, clean, comfortable and loving experience to your pup to alleviate any stress and worry is our top priority. All pups in my care will be treated like family and given all the attention he/she deserves, along with exercise and activities ensuring they are happy and content during your absence. I am currently available on the weekends only. Feel free to message me any special schedule requests I will try my best to accommodate. I work a hybrid schedule. I enjoy walking. I live in a very walkable neighborhood. Misty and I enjoy daily 2 mile walks exploring parks and neighborhoods. If allowed we visit dog parks frequently.

Carla was kind enough to meet me the day before her drop in so I could introduce her to the pups and my place. She is very kind, experienced, and you can tell she has a true affinity for animals. She came in and spent time with my besties while I was out for the day. Can’t wait to invite her back!

Zion has been amazing with my dog, Linda Lou. From day one, he’s been patient, reliable, and incredibly thoughtful about her needs. She’s still building confidence on walks, and he never rushes her, he meets her where she is and helps her feel comfortable and safe. He communicates clearly, sends thoughtful updates, and genuinely cares about her well-being. It’s obvious that he treats every dog like they’re his own, and that level of care gives me complete peace of mind. I trust Zion completely with Linda Lou, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly. If you’re looking for someone who is kind, dependable, knowledgeable, and truly loves dogs, Zion is the person to book!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Brooklyn

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Brooklyn on Rover is $24.42 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 26,256 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Brooklyn choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Brooklyn with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
