“Dale was a fantastic sitter for our kitty! He was super resourceful when there was an issue with our door on the first day. Dale is a great communicator and often shared notes and pictures that made me smile and laugh. I had no doubt Lucy was well taken care of and entertained! We plan to use him again in the future when we need a sitter.”
“Avary was an amazing sitter for our dog, Luca! When Luca got stressed while we were away on vacation, Avary went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and cared for, which gave us real peace of mind. I highly recommend Avary for your pet care needs, and I will absolutely be booking again for all of our pets.”

“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!”
“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!”

Paul took such great care of our cat, Dusty. This was only our second time booking a pet sitter through Rover and it was such a relief to be away and feel comfortable with his care. We received photos and a note with each visit. Communication was clear and Paul was reliable and followed care instructions to a T. Thank you!
Vanessa was so fantastic and took such great care of our puppy. She dropped by, took Emma for a walk, and was extremely communicative for the duration of the service. I wasn’t home and she was great at following the directions to get into my home. Highly recommend Vanessa for all of you pet needs!
Grace and Sam were absolutely wonderful. I was in a real tight spot and needed help with my family’s two cats who hadn’t spent time together for awhile and had just recently come back together. I had to find someone to help in short order. Grace and Sam went above and beyond to care for them. All went very well thanks to their kindness and clear understanding of cats. I was so relieved, grateful and will definitely use them again.
David was responsive, reliable, and very helpful throughout the time he looked after my cat. He kept me updated and made sure everything was taken care of. I really appreciated his communication and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great cat sitter.
Omolayo is such a kind person and I’m so grateful to have someone nearby I trust to watch my kitty. He’s a bit of a skittish guy and it’s so lovely to see Omolayo’s warmth and patience opening him up slowly. It’s so clear how much she just loves animals. Highly recommend her to watch anyone’s little guys!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Brooklyn on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 27,673 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.
