“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.”
“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!”
“Just days after moving into a new home I had to travel for several days to attend a funeral. While I was away Alexandra dropped in twice a day to take care of my two disoriented and stressed cats. They both warmed to her very quickly - including my male cat who is stranger shy in the best of situations. Alexandra’s presence, and my cats’ quick acceptance of her, gave me the freedom to not worry about them during what was already a very stressful time for all of us. I would highly recommend Alexandra for your pet care needs.”
“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!”
“Jackie did a great job following directions and taking care of my cat, even though she’s shy and doesn’t like to engage much. I appreciated the extra help and reassurance while I was away!”
“Liudmyla took excellent care of our two cats. They are slow to warm up to people, but she was able to befriend them and earn their trust right away. She was very reliable and we can't wait to book her again the next time we leave town.”
“We’ve used Tamim twice and he is amazing! We have 3 cats, 2 are super friendly and the third always hides when guests come over. Tamim takes his time and always tries to at least find Goose and say hi so that we don’t worry about him while we’re away. He has always been super quick to respond and sends lots of cute pictures. We would highly recommend Tamim! He’s now our go to whenever we go away.”
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.
“Ameera was a perfect cat sitter for the 2nd time. Very communicative, understands directions, intuitive, leaves good recaps, and sweet with my cat. Safe to say my cat Dez approves too with the rolled over, belly exposed welcome he greeted her with this week. (via her pix) Def would hire again!”
About: Hi, I'm Ricky! Dogs have always been a part of my life growing up from Maltese-Shih Tzus, Jindos, to Huskies. Big or small, quiet or energetic, shy or outgoing, all dogs are welcome! 🐶 My style is calm and reliable. Rather than rush a nervous dog, I'd rather build a little trust first and let it unfold from there. It works especially well with shy or anxious dogs who need a patient handler, and with puppies who are still learning the basics. I'm also fully comfortable with larger, stronger breeds. 🐶 What to expect: * Flexible schedule, including last-minute requests when I can swing it * Quick to respond to messages * Happy to follow any routines, commands, or training cues you're working on * I'll send updates and photos so you know how the walk went 🐶 If your dog/cat has specific quirks, anxieties, or favorite routes, just let me know! I'm currently working part-time, which leaves me with a flexible schedule during the week and on weekends. Since I already care for three cats of my own, feeding, litter, and check-ins are part of my everyday routine, fitting pet care into my day comes naturally. I'm happy to work around your timing for visits and can usually accommodate last-minute requests. I care for dogs and cats in your home, where they feel most comfortable. I follow your routine closely, from feeding times to where their favorite hiding spots are. I always double-check doors and windows, keep food and cleaning supplies secured, and never leave anything lying around that a curious pet could get into. I treat your home with the same respect I'd want for my own and leave everything tidy after each visit. I also pay close attention to your pet’s body language, giving shy or anxious little ones space while offering affection to those who want it, and I'll send photo updates so you always know how they're doing.
“Taylor was great! She made sure our cat was well taken care of and always sent pictures! Would definitely recommend her and will use her services again in the future!”
“Sarah took wonderful care of our cats. She was organized, responsive, and left us great notes every day (with the cutest photos!) Our cats clearly adored her and trusted her quickly. Thank you, Sarah!”
About: I love pets of all kinds and actively engage them when I visit. I can take out and walk dogs as needed or just hang out with your dog, cat, or both. I’m a grad student doing classes at night, so most days in the morning through daytime are available. I can work with you to be flexible where possible. I can adapt to any home situation, just be communicative on what you have and what you need. Excited to get to know your pet(s).
“Lenford is great with my dachshund, Isles. He’s always early and stays a little extra to make sure my anxious pup feels safe before he heads out. Lenford plays with him too, and Isles is always thrilled to see him, running up with excitement. Really happy with his help!”
“Alice has been wonderful with our old cat. Giving meds, feeding, loving, and caring for our senior cat. Responsible and dependable, I can confidently highly recommend her to care for any pet!”
About: Hi there! My name is Alexa and I'm a proud dog mom to a lovable one-year-old pup. I've been an animal lover my whole life and have years of experience taking care of dogs, from babysitting my friends' furry companions to caring for my family dog (who unfortunately passed away). I honestly love dogs more than humans (no offense to humans though 😉) and I'm excited to meet new pups and build a strong dog community! If you're looking for someone to take care of your furry friend with lots of love and experience, I'm your gal! 🙋♀️ With experience ranging from raising a puppy to caring for adult dogs, I've developed a well-rounded set of skills as a pet sitter. From potty training and basic obedience to providing love and attention, I've learned what it takes to ensure that dogs are happy, healthy, and well-behaved. As a pet sitter, I'm dedicated to treating every furry friend like family and providing the best possible care, no matter what their age or needs may be. As someone with a flexible work schedule and the ability to work remotely, I'm able to easily accommodate pet sitting into my daily routine. My schedule is wide open on weekends, and I'm able to make adjustments during the week to ensure that your furry friend receives the attention and care they deserve. I provide personalized care for pets in both my own home and the client's home, depending on the service requested. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure that they have a safe, comfortable space to relax and play. When caring for pets in the client's home, I follow their specific instructions and make sure to respect their preferences to ensure that the pet feels comfortable and secure.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Brooklyn is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $41 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 27,660 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Brooklyn. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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 .
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.
