“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.”
About: I tend to get completely drawn into a cat's little world, learning their personality, their routines, their quirks and how they prefer to communicate. I don't just drop in, feed, scoop and leave. I genuinely spend time with them. After each visit, I send a detailed note of our time together with photos, so you can feel connected to your cat's day even while you are away! I work from home with a flexible schedule and am available for morning, midday, and evening visits, 7 days a week. I can often accommodate lastminute requests as well. I’ll follow your cat’s normal routine and your instructions carefully, including feeding, fresh water, litter care, medication if needed, and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to bring in mail and care for plants while you’re away. Last minute request? Feel free to reach out. I can also help even without a prior meet-and-greet if you provide detailed instructions.
“Kerry is an amazing cat sitter! She did a great job with my cat while I was away for three days. She payed such special attention to him and catered to his diva-needs, you know what I mean if you have an elderly cat! She was very comfortable giving him his 2x daily medication and I could tell that he felt very comfortable with her too. She checked in with me frequently which made it easy for me to enjoy my time away as I had no doubt that my cat was being well cared for. I will definitely work with Kerry again in the future!!!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, and I currently have two cats of my own! I have been a pet sitter in New York for five years. I love animals and have experience with many different types, both as an owner and a sitter. I use rover for my own pet sitting, so I know first hand about the anxieties that come with using it. Because of this I know how to make it a great experience! I'm looking forward to working with you to give your pets the best care! I am a teacher, so I am at work from 7:30-2:30. I have a lot of time after work to go on walks, play with pets, and give them love and attention. I have two cats who both love dogs. I have watched several dogs of multiple breeds and sizes in my apartment and never had any issues with them getting along! I also have a multiple rooms so that I can keep the animals separate when I am not home. My apartment has a fenced in area that can be used for potty breaks, and I live blocks from Propect Park for longer walks! I use rover for drop in visits, so when I am watching a pet in your home I know how to make sure your home is properly cared for as well as your pets!
About: I have experience taking care of dogs for the past fifteen years! From watching neighbors yorkies and my own boxers, I have a range of experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages, including deaf dogs and administering medication. I also have experience training dogs, having completed three courses, one of which was focused on training deaf animals. I understand the right dynamic with dogs (they are our furry friends but we have to show good judgement to keep them safe) and would love the chance to walk some furry friends. I live next to prospect park and work remote, so I can make sure dogs are well taken care of, get out for walks and exercise when needed; I work remote and have extreme flexibility in my schedule which can accommodate your pet! My apartment is spacious and they’ll have privacy as they need. I have had dogs my entire life, with four boxers and one goldendoodle. I currently work remote, so pet care fits into my schedule as needed. Weekends are open and most days are open as well. I am available to do walks, check-ins, or boarding as needed! I always make sure the dog will be safe. On walks I will make sure they are not exposed to anything unsafe (including being careful of other dogs, aware of surroundings etc). Some dogs are easier than others and I get that but prefer to be safe! What I find the most important is to make sure they can maintain their normal doggy routine - dogs love consistency (in addition to treats and walks and pets).
“Emma has been an absolute lifesaver and is the perfect sitter for our new puppy, Hubble. Emma went out of her way to make herself available in the middle of the day during our first week back at work and it has made all the difference. She is communicative, punctual, and extremely kind. I have nothing but nice things to say about Emma. I know Hubble absolutely loves his new friend!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for over a decade. I’ve also watched my friends and families dogs when they are on vacation. So, I’m very comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, and bathing different types of dogs. I’m currently studying for the bar exam, so I’m looking for study break opportunities! Pretty much free at any time during the week and on weekends unless it’s blocked off on my schedule. I am totally flexible with any safety precautions you would like to take. I want to make sure that you feel safe leaving your dog in my care.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, activity, and injury levels. I love meeting them where they’re at, keeping their routine, and making sure they feel loved all the while. I work remote, Monday through Friday. Some days are more meeting heavy than others but I can take a break about every two hours. My coworkers love pets and would be happy to have yours make a video appearance! I’ll follow whatever routine and guidelines your pet is already used to! I’m always aware that I am entering their space and will never push for affection or attention they might not be feeling that day.
“I'm so grateful to have Kimberly as my dog sitter. Not only is she wonderful with my Arie, but she is responsive, reliable and able to make adjustments to my schedule (and hers) when the unexpected happens. Leaving my dog for days at a time is hard, but knowing she is in caring, capable, and loving hands makes a huge difference. Kim is amazing!”
“This was my second booking with Izzy, and they were just as communicative and committed to my cats' comfort as before. I appreciate their willingness to be extra patient with one of my cat's tricky medical needs, and my apartment was kept nice and tidy.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was 7 with my first dog, I was walking most of my neighbor's dogs too. So I have experience with lots of breeds of dogs. I'm currently in college and the times that I would be available all day on Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday, but on Tuesday and Friday from 3 pm-8 pm. I will take care of your doggo like I was one of my own, also any instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy!
“Marissa is wonderful! We've booked her twice, and she took amazing care of both our cat and 16-year-old senior dog. Our dog needs supplements and medication, and we absolutely trusted Marissa with her care. We will definitely contact her again in the future when we need help with our pets!”
About: I have been a Rover for almost two years now and I’ve loved getting to care for so many sweet and playful pets. My whole life I've taken care of and loved dogs whether that be my own or friends/family. I have experience taking care of puppies, senior dogs, and unspayed/neutered dogs as I have had these myself throughout my life. In my lifetime I’ve had basset hounds, a Westie, a Boston Terrier, and a couple hamsters. I am happy to look after small, caged animals as well for a smaller fee if you message me and let me know! I can also give your dog/s any medications or special treats that they may need/like. I cannot give injectable medicine, however. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits (individual pet needs & feeding), and house sitting! All of my availability is clearly marked on my calendar and updated. I only list days that I can fully commit to the service that I am providing. I would want that for my pets and I believe you would too. I want you and your pet to feel as comfortable and safe with my services as possible. If you would like I can also schedule a meet and greet with you and your pet ahead of time, just let me know in the initial request. If you are not satisfied with the meet and greet you can cancel my services up until the day before service. I have no pets of my own currently, so pet sitting/walking brings me a lot of joy and fulfillment. I will truly treat your pet with love and care. Not only have I been a Rover for 2 years now, but I have lots of personal experience with my own previous dogs and friends/family. I understand that each pet has their own personality and needs, so my services are tailored to that. To me, the pet takes the lead and my time with them is in their space. I respect that and will be attentive to cues of timidness or playfulness, depending on your pet's level of trust. I would truly appreciate you and your pet trusting me for quality, personalized care. I will treat them equally with great care.
“James is an incredible sitter and went absolutely above and beyond on this visit in particular. Always takes great care of our cats and most importantly takes tons of pictures!”
About: I've lived with pets (dogs, cats, turtles, etc) for the past 20 years!! (I can't believe it's been that long). I absolute love pets and have a dealt with pets of a diverse range of personalities and breeds. From boston terriers, English Bulldogs, Labrador Retrievers, Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Short-hair cats/Long-haired cats and more!! I love the variety of personalities a pet has so I am ready with open arms to take care of any type of dog or cat and will be cognisant of all their quirks. <3 I am studying for a career in medicine so I am well-versed in looking out for medical issues that may arise and also know how to administer medicine. I am friendly and responsible too! :) I also live with a responsible pet owner! My partner Fred has experience watching dogs as well: please see his profile here: https://www.rover.com/sit/fredd29365 Pet care is essential to my everyday life! I have a 10 year old cat who is living with arthritis who needs constant love and joy to help his well-being and quality of life flourish. I am a fairly early riser and late to bed so I can take your pet out for walks as frequently as needed and I love to keep pets active as it is an integral part of their mental health! I am very perceptive to what pets need and their emotions. I have a little pet staircase for the little guys to get onto the couch! I wash bowls for wet food and change water every day (filtered water). The times for walking varies on the dog.
About: I have a beautiful large studio apartment with a dog of my own and I live within a 10 minute walk to Prospect Park. There are areas with grass nearby and lots of interesting and different places to walk. I walk the dogs for a minimum of 20 minutes at a time - usually 30 mins and over. I will play and be affectionate with all the dogs - make sure they have lots of water at all times. The apartment is warm and very clean and the neighbourhood is extremely dog friendly with lots of great places to play and walk dogs! About this sitter: Warm and friendly dog loving. Love to walk and play with dogs! Reliable, very clean and caring:) I can provide great references by request. I'm currently working from home and can take dogs to board on weekdays and weekends. I walk the dogs 4 or 5 times a day. I allow the dogs free run of the apartment unless they are used to the crate. I have water available at all times and keep all human food out of harms reach!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Brooklyn
Ryan was super accommodating when we needed a last minute drop in for my sister’s dog. He was great with her and followed all our instructions and was super understanding about her being a little overexcited for her dinner time 😅 would definitely request him again next time!
Ariel was so lovely and communicative even though it we reached out to her very last-minute! We appreciated the compassion she had for both of our dogs, but especially for our large, leash-reactive dog who sometimes needs a little extra skill. Ariel was thoughtful in following our instructions and training wishes. Both dogs seemed happy and excited for a new friend in the pictures Ariel sent and when we got home. Thanks so much!
Siddhi was amazing! She was super flexible, always on time, and so sweet with our dog, Burley. She did three drop-in visits and even at our meet and greet I could tell how gentle and caring she was with animals. We’re so happy we found her and will definitely be reaching out again. Thanks so much, Siddhi!
Leo was incredible with my dog, Rio, while I was out of town for a week. Our apartment manager even out of her way to let us know how wonderful he was! Would definitely recommend him to anyone, especially those with pups who need a little bit more attention and care. Thank you Leo!
Victoria had been an absolute lifesaver!! She was able to step in last minute and help with my sweet pup:) I received lots of cute pictures and thorough updates. Roux even looked like he was smiling in one the pictures!! Haha We are so grateful and can’t wait to see you soon!
I needed a sitter for my two dogs, Beasley and Birdie, over several days with very little warning, and Chelsea came through beautifully. She took wonderful care of both pups, sent daily photos, and made sure they had everything they needed while we were away. I felt completely at ease, and her flexibility and care were truly appreciated. I highly recommend her!
Kseniia is absolutely amazing — our dog is newly diabetic, and Kseniia picked up very quickly on how to administer her insulin. Kseniia is thorough, asked the right questions, and even followed up with us that evening to ensure everything was okay. Kseniia is polite and respectful, and she is great with Ellie. She is well worth every penny you pay her. We will always be turning to Kseniia for anything regarding watching or caring for our dog!! Thank you, Kseniia!!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Brooklyn is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $44 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. 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 26,462 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 .
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 .
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.

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.
