“Mitchell was great with my cat! He sent pictures and videos every day during his check-ins. He was quick to respond to messages and easy to work with.”
“Jules was amazing and I will definitely be using her services again! She was very detailed in her updates always included pictures and helped keep my kitty cool during the heat wave! Highly recommend :)”
“Shandra was very attentive to my cats and kept me updated with lots of pictures! She had no trouble giving one of my cats his daily eye meds and even washed the wet food bowl. Highly recommend! Your cattos will be in good hands.”

“I have a very energetic 7 month old bernese moutain dog who loves to jump on you. Sirena was very patient and kind with him but also stern. He needs a little structure.”

“Erin was great. Timely, great photo updates, and no news to report. Will definitely be reaching out to her again! That was the first time using Rover, and first time leaving my dog for a full weekend without a family member, and all went well!”


“Ellen did an excellent job dropping by to take care of my two kitties. She was very responsive and did everything I asked for them. Would definitely have her cat sit again!”

About: I have a high-energy dog that has prepared me in all aspects of pet care! I am well-versed in on- and off-leash exercise and have plenty of ideas for indoor enrichment activities. Having raised my own dog from 6 weeks old, I’m familiar with all of the accidents that can happen when pets are home alone. I’ve also cared for elderly and medically-complex dogs. I work remotely during the school year and have summers off. My work is in pacific time, giving me plenty of time in the morning to take your pet on a walk, play outside, or just keep them company. Of course, when I’m off in the summer, I have all the time in the world to spend with your pets! I am open to the safety, trust, and environment guidelines set by each pet owner. As the owner of a needy dog, I understand that each family has different preferences for keeping their home and pets safe!

About: Hi! I'm excited to offer dependable, loving pet care through Rover. As a lifelong animal lover and dog owner myself, I understand that pets are family, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently have my own pup, Charlie, who has taught me firsthand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and plenty of love and attention. Caring for Charlie has given me daily experience with walks, playtime, routines, and understanding the unique personalities that make every dog special. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, simply some extra attention while you're away, my goal is to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide personalized care that keeps them happy and stress-free. Services may include walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, administering medications if needed, potty breaks, belly rubs, and plenty of companionship. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your home and your pets. I respect your space, follow instructions carefully, and work hard to maintain your pet's normal routine while you're away. Whether your dog loves long walks, your cat prefers quiet companionship, or your pet simply needs a familiar face during the day, I'm committed to providing reliable and attentive care. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and building a lasting relationship based on trust, communication, and exceptional care. I work full time during the week, so pet care fits best into my evenings and weekends. I’m available for walks after work and have more flexibility on weekends for extra time with pets. I will follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, and I make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I’m attentive to their needs, keep their space clean and make sure they feel secure while their owners are away.

About: My husband and I own a very sweet, playful Great Dane/mastiff and a pure bred English Mastiff. We have experience with all kinds of dogs and other animals. We have a large finished upstairs where our dog loves to run and play. We have a large backyard that is fully fenced/gated. We walk daily (in nice weather). We have fun toys to play with and a whole room for your dog to sleep in (instead of a cage) but if your dog prefers a cage we have a huge one he can sleep in (or you can bring your own). I stay home so your pet will have plenty of company! We have three young girls who absolutely love playing with dogs. They are gentle and dogs always love them.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid- from dog sitting for neighbors when I was a kid to dog sitting for relatives and friends as an adult. I’ve also owned a Dachshund, a German Shepherd, and Great Dane (yes, I kept sizing up lol). I’m currently available all day Monday-Thursday in the morning and afternoon. Since I have the summer free, I will prioritize your pet care in my daily schedule. When pets stay with me, I treat them like part of the family. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in a calm, clean environment (no kids and I don’t smoke). I stick closely to their normal routines (including feeding times, walks, and potty breaks) and I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, and messages to make you feel conn acted when you’re away. If your pet has any special needs (like medication or dietary preferences), I’m experienced and attentive to those details. When I take care of pets in their own home, I aim to keep everything as consistent as possible by following instructions carefully and treating your space with the utmost respect. I’ll make sure they have plenty of companionship, exercise, and affection while you’re away.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and I have an 18 year old pup at home! I’m very passionate about the quality of life for our furry friends, and can’t wait to meet yours! Safety and fun are my main priority. I’m working part time, so I’m looking to fill the gaps in my week with pet care! I can be flexible with scheduling given enough notice. I have an 18 year old dog at home, as well as a 3 year old cat. My animals are spoiled beyond belief, and taken care of diligently.
About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, and horses for ten years. My skills include cat socializing, dog walking, and overall pet sitting/care. As someone who has owned pets my whole life, I am eager to take care of yours! I just moved to the area and am not currently working! I have lots of free time and will continue to make time once I begin working my hybrid/remote work. I have experience caring for dogs in both an open yard and in smaller environments like apartments/closed yards. I am able to crate pets, give medicine to both cats and dogs, and provide a comforting environment to pets of all kinds.
About: Hello! I am a proud Clevelander and lover of the outdoors. I was previously on Rover as a regular dog-sitter and dog-walker, and looking to pick it up again as my schedule has become flexible. I loved caring for others’ dogs and meeting their needs when their pawrents were out of town or at work! I now live with my husband in a house with two pups of our own, a 8-year-old miniature poodle named Charlie and a 13 -year-old welsh terrier named Prim. I’m available for dog walking during the workweek! I have a flexible schedule these days and would be happy to walk your dog during the weekday. I always approach dogs slowly and allow them to sniff me first. On walks, I allow them to set their own pace. Then, I make sure they are comfortable and settled before I leave.
“Aspen is fantastic! She’s prompt and a great communicator. She’s helpful and goes above and beyond. My dog, Macie, loves her and looks forward to her visits!!”


About: I've been caring for other people's dogs and cats for most of my life. At home I coparent a dog named Rooster, a wild chihuahua/terrier mix, and cat named Boki, a treat-obsessed Russian Blue. It's never boring. Earlier in my life I volunteered at Charlotte Animal Care and Control, where I walked, socialized, and cared for shelter dogs. It shaped how I think about animals: every pet has its own personality, its own needs, and its own way of communicating. It's on the human to pay attention and meet them there. That's still how I operate. Some pets want active play; some want a quiet, calm presence. I let them lead and give each animal the specific attention they actually want, not a one-size-fits-all approach. I believe all pets are good pets. I work full time, so weekday availability starts around 5pm. Weekends are where I have the most flexibility — I'm available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight sits on most weekends. If your pet needs someone during evening hours or over a weekend, that's my sweet spot. I come to you, which means your pet stays in their own home, with their own smells, their own routine, and their own hiding spots. No adjustment period, no unfamiliar environment to stress them out. When I'm with your pet, I follow your lead — feeding schedules, walking routes, medications, quirks, all of it. I'll ask the right questions before you leave so nothing gets missed. You can expect updates while you're gone.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Brooklyn
Katherine is a saint. She took amazing care of our English bulldog while we were out of town. She went above and beyond to make her comfortable when our girl wasn’t feeling well and kept us updated with every visit. Thank you so much for the love you showed our Ellie.

Nicole was truly amazing and was so flexible with us. She respected our home and had patience with our puppy. She’s a great communicator and always stood in touch with us. If you’re ever looking for someone local and affordable, Nicole outshines the competition! Thank you!!

Paige was incredible! They hopped in super last minute and were able to stop in and take care of my pup after a sitter canceled. They followed all directions and was very patient with our boy in a situation that was new for him. Could not recommend enough!

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.
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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Brooklyn with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 97% 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.
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.
