About: Hi, I'm Ricky! Dogs have always been a part of my life growing up from Maltese-Shih Tzus, Jindos, to Huskies. Big or small, quiet or energetic, shy or outgoing, all dogs are welcome! 🐶 My style is calm and reliable. Rather than rush a nervous dog, I'd rather build a little trust first and let it unfold from there. It works especially well with shy or anxious dogs who need a patient handler, and with puppies who are still learning the basics. I'm also fully comfortable with larger, stronger breeds. 🐶 What to expect: * Flexible schedule, including last-minute requests when I can swing it * Quick to respond to messages * Happy to follow any routines, commands, or training cues you're working on * I'll send updates and photos so you know how the walk went 🐶 If your dog/cat has specific quirks, anxieties, or favorite routes, just let me know! I'm currently working part-time, which leaves me with a flexible schedule during the week and on weekends. Since I already care for three cats of my own, feeding, litter, and check-ins are part of my everyday routine, fitting pet care into my day comes naturally. I'm happy to work around your timing for visits and can usually accommodate last-minute requests. I care for dogs and cats in your home, where they feel most comfortable. I follow your routine closely, from feeding times to where their favorite hiding spots are. I always double-check doors and windows, keep food and cleaning supplies secured, and never leave anything lying around that a curious pet could get into. I treat your home with the same respect I'd want for my own and leave everything tidy after each visit. I also pay close attention to your pet’s body language, giving shy or anxious little ones space while offering affection to those who want it, and I'll send photo updates so you always know how they're doing.

About: Hi, I’m Onyx! 🐾 I’m a Chicago native, New Yorker, journalist, and lifelong animal lover. Caring for animals has always been one of the most grounding parts of my life, and being a dog mom to my 60-lb Staffy mix, Reese, has given me years of hands-on experience understanding the personalities, routines, and quirks that make every pet different. I’m the kind of sitter who genuinely enjoys getting to know an animal—not just making sure they’re fed and walked, but making sure they feel safe, comfortable, stimulated, and loved while you’re away. I’m attentive to routines and instructions, and I’m happy to send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can have peace of mind while you’re apart. I’m especially comfortable with energetic dogs who love to play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. I’m an active person myself, so long walks, runs, playtime, and keeping a pup entertained are right up my alley. I also have a serious collection of dog toys at home, so there’s no shortage of ways to keep a four-legged guest busy! Whether your pet needs an adventure buddy, a midday break, some extra cuddles, or simply a calm and reliable person to keep them company, I’d love to help. I treat every pet in my care like they’re my own—and I know how much trust that takes. Can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! 🐶💛 I’m currently unemployed so outside of caring for my own dog, I have more time than ever to care for more pups while their parents are traveling. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or theirs, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow their instructions closely—from feeding and walks to medications, supplements, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and video updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. In my home, I make sure pets have a comfortable, pet-friendly space where they can relax and get plenty of attention and enrichment. I have lots of toys and love taking dogs outside for walks or trips to the park when appropriate. I’m also attentive to each pet’s individual personality and boundaries—whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer a quieter environment with lots of cuddles. After years of caring for my own dog, Reese, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I treat every animal in my care with that same level of patience, attention, and responsibility.

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!

About: I grew up around dogs. Since I was born, my family has had Golden Retrievers who were my brothers. I have been working with and around dogs of any size all my life and have a huge love for them. I have cared for sick dogs, healthy dogs, energetic dogs, high maintenance pups. I love all breeds and personalities! I am a Brooklynite but I have no issue coming into Manhattan or Queens to spend some some time with your pup! I am a performing artist so my schedule is generally wide open. I can schedule whenever or wherever I am needed! Early mornings are not a problem for me nor are evenings. Long walks are not a problem for me, I live near Prospect Park and love walking in the parks in New York. I have no problem house sitting.

“Taylor was absolutely incredible with my nervous rescue! I booked her last minute when I had a medical emergency and was able to help by the next day. She provided so many updates on how she was doing during their visits and took the best pics! Taylor even stayed with her extra time to hang out and let her get used to her. They were best girlies by the end of their visits! 15/10 recommend Taylor especially if you have a nervous pup!”

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!

Tamim takes his time and always tries to at least find Goose and say hi so that we don’t worry about him while we’re away. He has always been super quick to respond and sends lots of cute pictures. We would highly recommend Tamim! He’s now our go to whenever we go away.”

About: In the country I grew up with every type of animal, wild and domestic. I am beyond comfortable meeting new pets and always quick in establishing an unbreakable bond. I will love your furry friend as if they were my own! I've also volunteered at numerous shelters and sanctuaries for over a decade while completing bookings through another reputable app since 2015. Currently, I devote time working with a professional dog service here in NY as well. I am also passionate about animal rights and welfare. As a World Wildlife ambassador and environmental activist, I fight for climate justice as well as animal and nature conservation. I have a lot of flexibility in my work schedule, allowing me to stay home often. Each week is different, so please let me know what best suits your needs. I have a two-bedroom apartment and can provide space, privacy, or closed-off locations for your pet. I am incredibly respectful of my clients' homes and follow the rules to a "T." I am very clean, organized, and considerate. This is where my OCD is complimented! I may leave your home cleaner than I found it! — Please note that raw meat cannot be handled during boarding or daycare stays. Cooked meat is accepted. This does not apply to services taking place outside of my personal home. Thank you for understanding!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Brooklyn

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Brooklyn on Rover is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $44 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 26,673 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

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 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 .

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
  • 92% 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 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.
