About: I’ve been a pet owner for some time and have had a Husky previously. I’m familiar with how to handle high energy breeds, big dogs and medium sized. I’m a full time dog walker available during the week and also enjoy walking dogs in the evenings and weekends. I have had my own dogs in the past and understand the importance of regular exercise. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment that is very spacious and accommodating. I have lots of dog toys and treats. Whether I’m watching a dog at my house or yours I understand that mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise.
“Afiya was an incredible cat sitter while I was away on a work trip! She was always timely, communicative, and an all-around pleasure to work with. I will definitely be using her again when I am away next!”
“My Second time using her she’s Absolutely wonderful! She was so sweet, patient, and caring with Zola. You can tell she genuinely loves animals. Zola was comfortable with her, which made me feel completely at ease. She was also reliable, respectful, and communicated well. I’m very happy with her service and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. Thanks again”
“Desiree is absolutely amazing! I asked her to watch my elderly cat, Marley, for 9 days a bit last minute and she responded so quickly to take us on! She was great with communication and set up a time to meet Marley before I left :) I was a bit nervous to leave my cat for so long since she’s older, but Desiree made me feel so at ease. It was obvious she took her visits very seriously, and was so sweet/affectionate with Marley. I could tell through pictures and videos Marley loved her and felt comfortable as well! It also helped so much she would give daily updates. I can’t recommend Desiree enough and I will definitely be asking her to check on Marley again!”
“Avary is absolutely amazing! Such a sweet person that loves animals and with patience and a few Churus was able to win my cat Hanna over! Avary sent us multiple pictures and checked every detail with us to make sure we knew our kitty was taken care of. Thank you Avary! 100% would recommend 🥰🫶🏼”
“Amazing sitter. She is reliable, on time, follows directions and makes sure your pet is in great hands. I couldn't ask for a better sitter. I have rebooked her multiple times and will continue to do so. Thank you Ashanti for everything.”
“Lori was extremely attentive and kind to my cat, Beatrice. She is an older cat who needs a lot of care (special food, 2 different types of eye drops, liquid medication) and Lori took care of everything with no issues. She also kept me updated on each visit and sent lots of photos, which is always appreciated. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Yinan took care of our 2 cats while we were away for a few days and was amazing! Our cats have a somewhat complicated feeding routine and they handled it with no problem. Was very communicative with updates and photos which we appreciated. Will definitely book again!”
“Hannah was absolutely stellar with our extremely shy, older cat! She gave her insulin injections twice a day, as well as a pill medication. Thank you so much, Hannah!! Will definitely be reaching out for our next trip!”
“Vivian was amazing with my kitty Peanut! I had communication with her every visit and she sent multiple pics and updates. Peanut was shy and took some time to warm up to her but Vivian was constant with her attention and helped Peanut to feel secure while we were away. I would hire her again in a heartbeat-if you need a compassionate and dependable person, Vivian is your best bet!”
“Big thanks to Liudmyla for taking great care of our Tadpole! She was punctual, communicative, and patient with our somewhat anxious dog. We’re looking forward to working with Liudmyla again soon!”
“Laura is very attentive and caring, she did a great job looking after my high anxiety chihuahua. She provided a lot of updates and photos so I always knew he was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Harriet was amazing! She was communicative, responsive, and alleviated all my concerns at leaving my skittish kitty for the first time. Highly recommend and I won’t hesitate to use her again in the future.”
“Hannah is the best! She has taken care of my cat Winston, who has a couple of special needs, a few times now and always does an excellent, thoughtful job. Her Rover cards are thorough and she always sends lots of sweet pictures, too.”
“James was very communicative and did an excellent job taking care of my two very shy cats while I was away for Christmas. I appreciated the daily updates and that he stopped by to get the tour of my apartment beforehand!”
“Jonathan is awesome, my cat loves him! He is very caring and his summaries from his visits are very detailed. I felt at ease knowing my little girl was in good hands. I will definitely recommend to friends and family.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brooklyn
We love Sebastian! He always sends the cutest photos of our cat mochi while we are away. This trip he navigated getting into our new apartment with minimal instructions and made us feel very secure knowing Mochi was in excellent hands. I always appreciate that Sebastian spends quality time with Mochi during his visits- stays the full 30 min, and actually plays with her! I’ve had other Rover pet sitters who simply check the food and litter then leave. It’s reassuring to know Sebastian really cares about the wellbeing of our cat. Thank you Sebastian!
Lynn was wonderful! She was communicative, observant, and very detail-oriented. She followed all of my instructions, took great care of my cats, and always kept me updated on any changes or concerns. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her care while I was away. Would definitely recommend her and work with her again in the future
Elise was sooo good!!! She really was super intentional about being Chai’s friend while dropping in twice a week, clearly took care of him, and went out of their way to send plenty of pics! Would highly recommend Elise if you’re looking for drop in care from someone who actually wants to spend time and be friends with your pet rather than a quick in and out.
Our cats love Emily! We really appreciate the quality time she spends playing and caring for them each visit - she really understands their unique needs and personalities! Her updates are so thorough and we look forward to getting the visit summary, photos and videos each day. I am so thankful to have found a cat sitter like Emily!
Haleyann was such a pleasure to have as a car sitter for my three cats (one of whom requires medicine)! She has such positive energy which I am sure my cats felt - they seemed happy and engaged in all the photos! I was also grateful for her level of observation and common sense overall. She was proactive in communicating with me if anything seemed amiss. It’s great to have someone reliable watching your pets, and I will be booking her again for an upcoming trip!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Brooklyn on Rover is $26.54 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 27,720 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Brooklyn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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.
