“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.”
“Laura was a pleasure to work with! She did a thorough job with cat check-ins while I was away on a weeklong trip including providing detailed descriptions of her visits and photos. Would definitely trust her with my fur baby again!”
“Cadence did a great job of taking care of Martin. He even opted not to tear apart various random objects prior to my return, which means he must have already spent considerable energy playing during her visits! She sent me some great photos too!”
“Hanna is amazing! She took great care of my cats and even noticed one of their lips was swollen making sure to keep an eye on it. Will definitely book her in the future :)”
“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.”
“What a dream! Harley was so wonderful with our dog Wallace and took the best care of him while we were away. Harley is thoughtful, organized, attentive and so friendly. Looking forward to having Wallace's new BBF back :)”
“Teddy went above and beyond taking care of my cat for over a week, and helping out a ton when my vet recommended adding some supplements to his meals right before I went away. Teddy was patient with my detailed requests on how to prepare multiple meals for him, was super communicative, was flexible when my plans changed, and I came home to a very happy and healthy kitty. Would highly recommend anyone to work with Teddy!”
“Summer is absolutely fantastic! She took excellent care of Karl, kept me well updated, and went above and beyond on more than one occasion. I couldn’t recommend Summer more highly!”
About: My siblings would ask me to babysit their dogs while they were away, and I always made it a point to leave their homes as I found it. I’ve worked in childcare and taught karate for three years now (not saying is the same thing) so your pet will be receiving the attention and play they need. Karate lessons too if they’d like🙌! I work part time at a martial arts school. Tuesday and Thursday nights I am working for certain. Throughout the day I’m available to walk/babysit/etc. I have work on my laptop so I can take whatever I need to a home and house sit at the same time. I always want to keep an eye on them, making frequent checks to see how they’re doing. I’d like to be informed of any quirks or habits I should be aware of so the pet is comfortable and receives the best care possible. If they want to play, I’m so ready to play!
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m Edna and I’m currently a student studying from home while caring for my dog, Luna. I’ve always loved animals and grew up with dogs, so being around them has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I also previously worked at a doggy daycare in Arizona, where I gained hands on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. At home, Luna definitely runs the household in the best way haha. She gets lots of love, cuddles, and attention throughout the day, along with a consistent routine of morning, afternoon, and evening walks. I know every pet has different needs and routines, so I’m always happy to be flexible and accommodate what works best for the. I’m here to help! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. Since I currently study from home, I’m able to provide a consistent routine, supervision, and companionship during the day. Typically, my day revolves around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable, active, and cared for throughout the day. Luna currently has morning, afternoon, and evening walks, so incorporating additional pet care into my schedule feels very natural for me. For dog walking services, I make sure pets get safe, attentive walks with plenty of exercise, patience, and positive interaction. I understand every dog is different, so I always try to adapt to their personality, comfort level, and energy needs. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable adjusting at their own pace. I follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, potty breaks, exercise, medication (if needed), and routines.
“Nika dropped in to see our buddies over the holidays and made us feel confident our cats were getting all the love while we were away. Would reach out to them in the future as well :)”
About: I have had at least two dogs and two cats in my house my entire life. I currently have a 60 pound black golden doodle named Nelly, and a 20 pound dachshund/ chihuahua mix. I have always been the one to feed, walk, and take care of the dogs. I am currently an actor looking for employment, so I have plenty of time to feed, walk, play with, and most importantly cuddle, your pets! In every environment, I make sure that the floors are clean with no dangerous foods like chocolate, as well as no glass or anything sharp. I then create a comfortable area for the pet to chill in, whether it's giving them blankets or pillows, or having them on the couch with me (whatever the home owner prefers). Lastly, in my own home, I will move around the furniture so that the pet can have room to run around without fear of breaking anything.

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!

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.

- 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.
