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.
About: Walking my own dog Hana in Brooklyn has been the highlight of my day for the last ten years. Now I'm retired I have even more time to spare - and what better way to spend it than with dogs. And I want you to have one less thing to worry about with reassurance that your pet is having a great day - even if you’re not! As well as fun, I put a premium on safety. NYC is a challenging environment for dogs and demands concentration, common sense and heightened antenna, at all times. I think you will find me super reliable, flexible and devoted to your pet, whether I'm providing walks or sitting. I'm currently retired from my full time job so I have incredible flexibility and plenty of time to devote to caring for pets. I am available seven days a week. We are condo dwellers so we are super comfortable around all the unique elements of having dogs in New York including elevators and ,pre than anything understanding the environment around me when I'm out walking - from careful road safety to anticipating any hazard - from e-scooters to loud noises
“Hanna was a fantastic sitter for Slinky. Very responsive in texts and came through for me in a last-minute situation. Lots of details about the stay and pictures. Highly recommend and I hope I can use her again in the future!”
About: I grew up with my standard poodle, Beau, who was by my family’s side for 15 wonderful years. These days, I'm raising my own pup, Miso. I've had her since she was 8 weeks old, and she's now a year and 8 months. Miso and I both adore other dogs, so your fur baby would have great company while you're away! My dog and I go on walks every morning and evening. I also live just a few minutes from a dog park, so a few times a week one of those walks turns into a park visit instead. There's also a private area in my building for afternoon potty breaks. I'm home most days, so when we're not out exploring the neighborhood, we're likely just spending time together at home. I follow all care instructions closely, including medication schedules and specific feeding routines, to ensure comfort for your pet. When staying in my home, your pup will have a safe, comfortable environment tailored to their needs. When caring for them in your home, I'm mindful of your space and routines, and treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own.
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: Hi there, I'm Blair - a Brooklyn-based corporate girlie who is excited to care for your dogs and cats! I grew up with Rottweilers my entire life, so big, strong, misunderstood dogs have always felt like home to me. Five years ago I adopted my own dog, Rocket, at 8 weeks old. He's now a 60-pound handful with major reactivity, which means I've learned patience, calm energy, and how to read a dog's stress signals before they escalate. That experience has made me a better, more attentive sitter for every dog, not just the tricky ones. Over the years I've pet sat for many friends' dogs, including an elderly dog who needed extra gentleness, a slower pace, and a lot of attention to comfort. Whether your dog is a easygoing senior, a high-energy young pup, or something in between, I'll treat them like my own. I'm currently making a career shift to spend more time doing what I actually love -being outside, staying active, and caring for animals, and I'm excited to bring that energy (and Rottweiler-honed patience) to your dog or cat. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I have a flexible setup that works well for pet care. I'm fully remote on Mondays and Fridays, which means I'm home and available throughout the day for check-ins, walks, or drop-in visits. On Tuesday through Thursday, when I'm in the office, my best availability is mornings before work and evenings after — so early walks, feeding, or playtime fit easily into my routine. Weekends I'm wide open and happy to take on longer visits, extended walks, or overnight stays. Pet care isn't something I'm squeezing into a packed schedule. It's something I've built time around because I genuinely want to be outside and active with animals as part of my week. I follow your instructions closely and stick to your pet's existing schedule, rather than trying to impose my own routine. Pets do best with consistency, especially when their person is away, so I treat the feeding times, walk routines, medication schedules, and any quirks or preferences you share with me as the plan. In your home, I respect your space and your pet's environment, keeping things exactly as you left them and making sure doors, gates, and anything else are secure. Whether it's a dog walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, I check in with clear updates and photos so you're never left wondering how things are going. For dogs, that also means paying attention to leash habits, energy levels, and any reactivity or triggers you flag ahead of time. For cats, it means respecting their pace and not forcing interaction if they'd rather observe from a distance first. At the core, my job is to make your absence as unnoticeable as possible for your pet - same routine, same comfort, just with me filling in.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. Between my blended families, I’ve called 8 dogs my own. I have experience with all ages, puppies to senior dogs. I am a working playwright with lots of time on my hands! I set my own writing and producing schedule, so I am otherwise largely available and can meet your specific needs. I do not have a yard, but there is a public park two blocks away from my home and plenty of green space. I do not own a crate.
“Rachelle was such a great sitter - provided lots of photos and did a fantastic job monitoring my anxiety-prone cat. She was so communicative so I never worried. Not only did she take great care of my boy, but also was considerate when it came to cleaning. What a great experience!”
“Ashley is amazing!! She was super communicative and understanding about my senior cat, Penny, being moody, and she was able to fit me in last minute for the holidays. Penny was happy and purring when I got home, so I know she was well taken care of! Ashley made sure my trip was stress-free, and I will definitely be booking again!!”
“Taylor checked in on my cat twice while I was away for a few days and kept me updated each time. I came home and my cat, who's known for having an attitude after a few days away, was super chill and acted like no one had ever left! So glad I found Taylor, highly recommend.”
About: Currently have 2 family dogs so I am comfortable with animals and will provide meticulous care for your loved one and home until you return Plenty of availability during weekdays and will do overnight if need be! We can figure out a good time for you based on what fits my schedule! I often play and baby my dogs and want to show tons of love to them! I do the same for other pets I interact with as well!
“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.”
“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.”
“Alexandra has looked after our Chez multiple times now, and every time we come home he is so happy and healthy! Her daily pics make us so happy to know he’s played with and cared for”
“Sarah has consistently been an excellent cat sitter for our cat, Coba! She goes above and beyond to make sure Coba is well taken care of and is extremely communicative with sharing updates. We would highly recommend Sarah!”
“Tamim did a wonderful job with my two boys! He was very communicative throughout the sit and asked questions as needed to give the best care. Everything was in great shape when I returned, and my babies seemed so happy to have spent time with him while I was away.”
“Ameera was very kind and patient with my shy elderly kitty Haiko, who is 18 and doesn’t hear well. Ameera got Haiko to stand on her lap and accept pets which Haiko doesn’t usually do with strangers. Will definitely book Ameera again!”
About: Dog sitting is an enjoyable experience where I provide loving care, nourishment, and playtime for dogs while their owners are away. From maintaining their routines to showering them with attention, I’ll ensure their happiness and well-being. With regular updates, I keep owners informed and reassured that their furry companions are in safe hands. :) Currently I work in healthcare 3 times a week and enjoy outdoor time on my days off. Potty breaks are a great excuse for long walks! I provide exceptional in-home pet care. You can rest assured that your furry friends are in good hands, receiving personalized care and companionship while you're away. Under my care, there will be no shortage of cuddles and scratches.

Monika was super attentive and communicative while watching Angus. Her care and love for animals really shone through! She is very detail oriented and asks questions to make sure your pet gets the best possible care. Will definitely be booking again, highly recommend her!
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!
Sebastian has always been wonderful in caring for and getting along with our cat Tuna (a total diva) but for the first time we needed someone to take care of both Tuna and our elderly dog, Mira (a genuine sweetheart). Sebastian was so accommodating with us to learn Mira’s routine before we left town. While we were away, Sebastian was again wonderful with both pets but Mira especially adored him. He sent great updates and was prompt in responding to our questions. Sebastian’s care, compassion, and communication are why he’s our #1 choice for pet care. We were so at ease while we were away. We don’t have a real vacation unless Sebastian is watching our pets! Thank you! =^..^=

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.

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.

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.
