“Lori was a truly fantastic cat sitter. She went above and beyond to make my cat feel happy, comfortable, and well-cared for while I was away. She played with her regularly and showered her with lots of affection, ensuring she was well-entertained and loved dearly. I can confidently say that I will always be able to rely on her in the future.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Avary. From the second we connected until we parted ways, Avary stood out as exemplary. Communication was beyond what could be expected, and the thoughtfulness, care, consideration, respect… are just a few words that now come to mind thinking about this experience. I’ve never met anyone — especially through Rover — who had seemingly gone above and beyond to match an existing routine. The true tell was that my dog was willing to take Avary on our USUAL hour-long night walk; something he highly protects. It was so clear that he was completely comfortable after less than a day and was happy to be able to stick to his pretty standard routine because of how well Avary learned and stuck to it too. Would 100% ask back again (and will)!!!”
“Rachelle was a lifesaver! She was willing to do a last minute house sitting booking for our 3-month-old Fajita. She played with her, took care of her, and made sure to keep her out of trouble. I couldn’t recommend her services enough. I would definitely book her again.”
“She was a wonderful dog and cat sitter. She took a great care of my dog and my cats, making sure they were happy, safe and cared for. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in a good hands. She was reliable attentive, and clearly loves animals. I would happily recommend her and would definitely book her again.”
“Janelle has been watching our dogs on-and-off for many years. She is so great with them, and they are not easy dogs. She is also super responsible and communicative; we trust Janelle to handle anything that comes up with the dogs or the house.”
“Ashanti was very helpful with Bella and she came on such a short notice. I was very impressed with how much effort she put into Taking care Bella and not letting her ruin the house. I will be booking again!”
“Eden is the man, very pleasant to work with. Eden stayed with my pup for two weeks. He took great care of my pup and my apartment. Eden sent daily photos and updates, and I could see that my pup was having a great time with Eden. Highly recommending Eden and I will definitely have Eden sit my pup again! 👍 🐕”
“I was nervous about leaving my dog for the day because of his separation anxiety, but Jada was amazing! She calmed him down and sent me updates throughout the day. She even stayed late when I was delayed getting home.”
“Took great care of our Nebby and our home during her 10 day stay while we were out of the country! We could tell Nebby was very well cared for. We would definitely have Em watch her again!”
“Dave dog sat for us and he was incredibly attentive and wonderful with our dogs, they loved him! He left our house just as clean if not better after he left. We are usually nervous to use someone new, but will 1000% use Dave to dog sit again!”
“Desiree is a thoughtful and conscientious sitter. She stayed over and cared for my older cat and emo dog. She sent regular updates which gave me confidence while I was gone. Five stars. Highly recommend.”
“Megan was wonderful with my dog! She was very communicative, timely, and took great care of my guy who is recovering from a back injury. Highly recommend her!”
“Sadie did amazing with both cats, but especially with my older gent who needs 3 meds per day (oral, topical, inhaler) and has a complicated feeding schedule. Usually both cats are starved for attention when I get back (or so they say…) but they both were so chill when I got back — it’s clear they’d gotten lots of love while I was away 🩷”
“book ren if you can! she was super super amazing with my socially problematic dog who has a biting history. ren did a great job reading his body language and knowing when to give him attention and when to give him space. she followed all the instructions i left and i came home to a tired and happy dog.”
“Came home to a spotless house and a very happy dog. Tons of communication and pictures. It’s nice to not have to worry about the fur baby while you’re away having a good time.”
“Meka was so amazing with our dog fairy and showed her such a great time. She was incredibly communicative and was able to accommodate a last minute sitting. Would recommend her to anyone”
“Teddy was awesome. Stepped in last minute to save the day when my initial home sit plans fell through and worked around some existing obligations to make it happen. Draco had some special needs and doesn't always take to new people easily, but Teddy was up to the challenge. I got plentiful, cute (and poetic!) updates throughout, and my grumpy, senior, disabled pup seemed to be calm and comfortable the whole time. I came back to a clean home and happy pup - would happily hire Teddy again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brooklyn
Alexandra was great in every way! Harper, my 10 year old lab mix, is super anxious, afraid of fireworks, thunder and meeting new people. Alexandra came to meet her several times before staying here which was a huge help. She is kind and patient and left everything spotless. I couldn't be more pleased and will definitely ask her to sit again!
Blair was truly wonderful! She followed all of the care instructions, took incredible care of my pup, and sent a lot of updates and images/videos while my dog was in her care. I'd definitely recommend her to fellow pet parents and will be using in the future.
This was the first time I worked with Noa and she was amazing. I loved that she came prepared to the meet and greet with specific questions and wanted to fully understand Greta before committing. I had contracted her to stay at my place for 4 nights. She came I headed out to the airport… then my flight was cancelled and so was my entire trip. She was so understanding in me having to come home when I messaged her at 11pm. Very professional and communicative off the bat. Looking forward to working with her again
Anya took great care of our two needy cats - we had never done in-house sitting before, but thought they would be happier to have a companion while we were traveling rather than doing 30-60 minute drop in visits. Anya typically sent us 1 update per day (including photos/videos) and was very quick to respond when we reached out to her. She left our apartment very clean and our cats seemed much calmer when we got home compared to times where we’ve only arranged drop in visits. Thank you, Anya!
Zianne was wonderful! My sitter fell through last-minute for a long weekend wedding trip that I couldn’t miss. She was so patient, calm, and kind with my anxious 12 yr old pup. He has several medical issues and needs medications administered across several different timelines and Zianne was not phased by this at all! She sent frequent updates and even slept with Boot on her couch because her bed was too tall for him, and he doesn’t like to sleep alone. Zianne will now be one of my go-to sitters :)
Leigh-Anna was great! She took excellent care of our dogs and our home. She was communicative throughout and handled everything like a pro—even when one of my dogs got anxious about fireworks and had to be medicated. When we got back, the dogs were happy and I could tell they had a great time. AND she left our space in immaculate condition. Would absolutely book with her again.
Vibe check passed immediately 🐶 Adriana is thoughtful, present and exceeded expectations. Within 15 mins after entrusting her with our dog, she sent photo updates. She even did her own dishes (even though she could have used dishwasher). When we got back home, we could tell our dog was relaxed and happy with Adriana - highly recommend and we will def be asking her to sit for us again

FAQs for House Sitting - Brooklyn
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Brooklyn on Rover is $58.93 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 19,136 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brooklyn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Brooklyn walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Brooklyn maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Brooklyn. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
