About: For the past four years, I’ve been actively involved in running a busy in-home dog boarding and daycare business through Rover. While my former partner handled most of the client communication and scheduling, I was heavily involved in the day-to-day care of the dogs and was responsible for making sure they were safe, happy, exercised, and well cared for throughout their stay. I regularly cared for multiple dogs at a time, including dogs staying with us 24/7. My responsibilities included taking dogs outside every 1–2 hours, supervising playtime and group interactions, providing exercise and enrichment, cleaning up after them, and paying close attention to their individual personalities and behaviors. Over the years, I’ve learned a great deal about dog behavior and how to safely manage different temperaments, energy levels, and personalities. I became comfortable introducing dogs to one another, supervising group play, recognizing when dogs needed space or a break, and making sure every dog was comfortable in the environment. I also handled a large part of the cleaning and daily upkeep, including deep-cleaning the dog areas, washing food and water bowls, maintaining a clean environment, and making sure the dogs always had a safe and comfortable place to stay. One of my favorite parts of caring for dogs is making sure they have a great experience while their owners are away. I love playing with them, giving them attention, taking them outside, and getting great pictures and updates for their owners so they can see how much fun their dog is having. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and after four years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a busy boarding and daycare environment, I’m excited to continue doing what I love and provide that same level of care to Rover clients and their pets. This is what I do and have done for a living for the last 4 years, prior to this I was working with my former partner under her rover account, plenty of play time for your pups! I can handle any dog of any temperament or behavioral issues that may require additional safety precautions. I go outside with the dogs in my care ever 1-2 hours, whether it be a group play session or 1 on 1 play. I tailor to every dogs needs.
“Eva was amazing! She was so sweet and kind to my puppy, she was very punctual and followed all my instructions throughly! I would definitely recommend her to anyone and would love to book with her again!”

About: I’ve had mang different dogs since I was little, taking care of them and taking them out often! I’ve also taken care of family members cats along with dogs too. I Absolutely love taking care of dogs and cats of all breeds and I have no issues with size. I’m currently working part-time! So on my off days I’ll have plenty of time to come and see your pets and take care of them! I’ll be able to spend plenty of time with your pets on my off days! And even after work! I live in a standard apartment but I do live near a large park! Giving your animals room to play and be themselves. I will always make sure they have my undivided attention! I also enjoy playing with them and helping them feel safe and cared for. During the week, I help with tasks such as grooming, cleaning litter boxes or pet areas, taking dogs on walks, and checking that pets are active and healthy. Caring for pets has helped me become more responsible, patient, and organized with my time.
“Maddie was wonderful with Roxy! Roxy can be a little hesitant with meeting new people, but she warmed right up to Maddie. She did everything we requested and we loved the photos!”

About: Able to take care of your pets how you want them to be cared for! I’ve experienced the quirks of pets and am happy to make sure they get what they need to be comfortable while you’re gone. I have a hybrid work schedule so have much more flexibility Friday - Monday. However, am able to adjust as needed from Tuesday - Thursday to help accommodate your plans. I am happy to travel to you and your pets. Will be a proper guest in your home and around the neighborhood. If it’s wet/muddy outside just point me in the direction of a towel to dry off paws!
About: I have always found myself surrounded with dogs of one kind or another and have loved each and every one from my own dear family dog, who we lost last year, or the puppy that I visit twice a week for family friends. I think that dogs, like people, have their own personalities and traits that make them unique and lovable in their own ways. You can get a doggo who is docile and sweet and only wants cuddles or you can have that crazy little thing that runs around like there is no tomorrow. I love to discover these quirks and tendencies of these four legged buddies and then develop a bond with them. I believe it is important to make a meaningful connection with your charges and from there you can really build a lasting relationship with the dogs. Every day is a little bit different but what is always the same is the level of care provided for your pet. The basics of breakfast, dinner, and pottying are all covered but I like to throw in some extra enrichment and fun so maybe your pet will get a trip to a coffee shop or the dog beach or maybe a pet friendly store. It really depends on what your pet might want on a particular day. Whatever it is, you’ll get tons of pictures and the occasional arts and crafts because it brings me joy 🤩 At my home, I have a large backyard that is fully fenced and the dogs get full range. The only portion they’re not invited into is my garden. I like to be the only one who does the watering there. Inside the pups get to hang out where they choose and if your dog needs a little quite space, I have a couple crates or baby gates that will help with that. Safety is the biggest priority though and cameras are in every room because I cannot be. I do my best to match dogs to other dogs they’re going to have a nice time with and also keep separate the ones that would prefer to have a closer knit circle of friends. Every animal is unique and I’d like them all to have an enjoyable time while they’re under my care

“Aliyah is absolutely the best! She has learned my dog and gives him what he needs regardless of what I may have thought he needed. He literally SMILES when she takes pics of him and my anxiety and dog mommy guilt vanishes. I just love how they love each other!”

“Olesja is the best of the best. Our pup was recovering from surgery this week but stayed so happy and relaxed with all of the puzzles, scent work, and training games Olesja did with him!”

“Carlitha was great with our two dogs! She filled in last second for another individual who had canceled and was willing to meet last minute for a quick walkthrough / meet and greet. Would recommend her to anyone and will be using her again in the future!”

About: After I walk and feed the pet, I like to sit with them and spend time with them. Familiarity is very important and they appreciate the time. I currently work part time and while I am involved in other things, I do like to help my friends out and pet sit for them. While I only can offer service from client's residence, I tend to follow pet parents' instructions for food, exercise, and genuine care. I like to practice the same routine as the pet owner as much as I can.

“Jo was truly AMAZING! I felt so comfortable with the care she provided for my senior cat while we were away on vacation. Jo was great about keeping us informed with detailed messages on how our cat was doing and everything was done as asked. I could honestly tell our cat felt safe and comfortable in Jo 's care. I highly recommend her to anyone to care for your pet .”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Brooklyn
We’ve been using Bethany for a few years now. She is gentle, kind, trustworthy and competent. I recently had surgery and couldn’t walk my dog, so we called upon her to help. Not only does Max love seeing Bethany arrived for his walks, but her kind, gentle, nature was a comfort to me since I wasn’t feeling well. I cannot recommend her enough! 5 stars isn’t enough!

Christine was fantastic. I originally signed up for 4 checks. She was very punctual, getting there exactly at the times I requested. She also agreed to adding 2 more drop in times so I could extend my weekend. She sent pictures each time of my fur babies! My pets were taken care of! I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs

Tina is amazing!! She has been checking in on my pups three times a week for well over a month now and she’s always so attentive, takes the cutest pet pics, and is so wonderfully flexible with our schedules. My dogs love her visits and we are so grateful for her services. ❤️

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.
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 .
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
