âIâm so grateful for Lori! She takes great care of my 2 cats. I always have peace of mind knowing sheâs with them and theyâre being cared for by such a kind person.â
âIsis is punctual, sweet, and provides extra attention to detail. I was grateful for her to be able to sit my puppy at the last minute. Thank you!â
âMeghan came over before her stay at our home, took notes, shared them for corrections, was flexible with last minute medication changes, and provided routine updates. She also provided updates outside of her usual cadence from an abundance of caution when one of our pets was having some stomach trouble. Our pets are older, with prescription diets and some mobility quirks, but Meghan handled everything great. The house was exceptionally cared for and our pets were clearly loved in our absence! Have zero hesitations trusting Meghan with our pets for any length of stay!â
âGreg provided the absolute best animal care that we have ever had! We recently moved into a new house and needed to take a trip to visit family. I was very nervous about finding someone to care for our dog, and really wanted to find someone who was open to staying at our home. Greg had glowing reviews on Rover, and luckily was availâ
âSadie was communicative and easy to work with! I goofed up when I booked but she was flexible and worked with me. She updated me regularly on how the cats were doing with photos and they seemed pretty content. Would recommend!â
âTag was amazing! She did a great job making sure the pets were well loved and taken care of while we were gone. She sent daily pictures and kept in communication the whole time. She also took great care of the apartment while we were gone and even went above and beyond washing and replacing the sheets before we got back! I would highly recommend her for any pet needs!â
âJessica was great with our pup Stella! She has wonderful energy, is warm, and was genuinely sweet to Stella. Stella was very comfortable with her. Would happily work with Jessica again!â
âLuana was so great with my little guy. She came and hung out with him and even kept up with his puppy energy. We stayed in constant communication and she shared pictures throughout the night.â
â100% would recommend Eva. Eva is super personable, caring, responsible and was the perfect fit for our elder dog. Heâs kinda complicated and she had no difficulty with any of his complexities. She took great care of Ralph and our apt!!â
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.
âSecond time having Alexandra over to watch our puppy boy and our opinion hasnât changed â five stars! She responded right away when we were in a pinch, was on time, and followed all our instructions to a T. Definitely always recommend her.â
âJosefa was the best sitter that we ever had.She treat Pepper(our dog)with the best way she could.She sent us every day many pictures make sure that is fine.She bought her a liking pad and a small light for her night walks.Thank u so much Josefa u were absolutely amazing.â
About: I have had animals in my home my entire life. I currently have a 5-year-old mutt named Juno, who is the joy of my life. I am a graduate student looking for some extra cash and would be honored to care for your fur babies! I am currently working part-time and attending graduate classes. Having a pet myself, I know how important it is for them to receive exceptional love and care even when you're away from home. I provide tons of fun, energetic walks and play dates. I understand that our pets need to feel stimulated and safe, and I would be happy to provide that for you and your pets!
âGabriella was great! She was available on short notice and really seemed to get along well with Aria. Our puppy was immediately comfortable with her and appeared to be well taken care of in our absence.â
âWe would definitely have Kameron watch Rory again! She was responsive, flexible and followed our instructions. Based on the many photos she sent us (which we really appreciate), Rory looked like he got lots of snuggles and walks in the park. We came home to a very happy pup thanks to Kameron!â
âEdvard takes outstanding care of our animals and our apartment. He shares pictures and updates daily and is super responsive and responsible. He is our absolute first choice housesitter.â
âJustice did a great job with our two big babies. We have a 110 pound young dog that brings some rebellion and energy and she was so kind and patient with wrangling him and making sure he got enough exercise while we were away. So appreciative of her help!â

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brooklyn
Jessica was great. Very flexible and accommodating. She sent a lot of updates with pictures which was very appreciated, especially with confirming providing medication. This was a last minute booking and a little chaotic on my end but Jessica made it incredibly easy and I felt like Lucy, who is a senior girl, was in very good hands. Thank you!
Miranda was a fantastic dog sitter for our puppy! She stayed the night out our apartment while we were out of town and was extremely respectful of the space and took care of our puppy like she was her dog. Got great photos and updates of how she was doing the whole time! Will definitely be booking her again!
Jessica took great care of our pup for a week. She provided multiple updates daily and we could tell via the pictures and videos that our pup had really taken to her and was comfortable around her. She was also very kind to stay with our pup when our flight was slightly delayed. She left our apartment spick and span. We would definitely be happy to have Jessica watch our pup again and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!
Nixx was great! She went out of her way to meet me and my dog beforehand to make sure everyone was comfortable and it was a good fit. She took wonderful care of my stubborn bulldog while I was away for a few days, and I felt confident he was in good hands. I really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to go the extra mile. Would definitely recommend!
She was wonderful! Very communicative, easy to reach, and kept me updated throughout the day with photos of my dog at the park and relaxing at home. I really appreciated knowing my dog was in good hands and being able to see how the day was going. She was attentive, reliable, and made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. I would absolutely recommend her and would happily book with her again!
Ashley's the bestânot only so easy to get on with and clearly a pet lover, but when there was a minor problem during the booking (not her fault! a miscommunication on my end!), she was able to pivot on the spot. She kept me well informed on Whisky's day-to-day, and was overall a dream to work with. Thank you, Ashley!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Brooklyn is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $105 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs 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 November 2026, there are 19,277 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 sitterâs 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 homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 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.
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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.

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.
