“I have had Alexis sit for my pit Mac before and just recently for almost a week; and as previously she did an excellent job. She kept me well-informed daily with pics and updates. She’s extremely caring and professional as well in her services!! I will definitely use her if needed again and highly recommend her!!!”

About: Hi! I’m Danielle, and I’ve always loved dogs and their fun, energetic personalities. I grew up with a yellow Lab who was part of my family for 15 years, and I regularly help care for my sister’s and friends’ dogs. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy being active with dogs. I’d love to give your pup plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and love while you’re away! I am a full time teacher but available in the evenings after 4pm. I am available most weekends as well! I am an early riser and enjoy spending as much time outside as possible. I have a fenced yard and small sun porch. I do not have any other animals in the home so I am able to be very attentive and accommodating to your pets various needs! I live near a small public park and am walking distance to Edgewater Park. I also am more than happy to take your dog on hikes and have a vehicle that is pet-safe.
“Really glad to have Maxwell on board to help with my rambunctious dachshund! It is great to know that my best buddy is playing hard and having tons of fun when I need to be away. Definitely hope to have Maxwell back again soon!”
“Elizabeth watched our dogs for a week while we were out of town! She did great with them and sent us lots of pictures and videos. She put lovely handkerchiefs on them which was a nice surprise coming home to. Overall would definitely book again!”
“Cora did such a wonderful job caring for our dog! She is perhaps the most communicative Rover we’ve ever hired. She asked great questions, made sure to spend time getting to know our dog, learn all the routines, and ensure all was running smoothly. All directions were followed to a T, and we came home to a happy dog and clean home. Couldn’t be happier to recommend Cora to watch other animals!”
“I was nervous about leaving my little one's with someone but Barb was great. She played with them and took them for walks. When I got home they were happy to see me but when I mentioned Barb's name they got excited so I know they liked her. I will recommend her to others and I will ask her to come back again.”
“Ebony was so kind and helpful throughout my dog baby's visit. She sent me tons of photos and updates while she had my baby. Baby(my dog) was well taken care of threwout her stay with Ebony. I'm so grateful for her, as she took my booking last minute since I had an unexpected family emergency come up. I will definitely use Ebony again in the future seeing as how amazingly she took care of what I consider a family member to me.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with two large dogs of my own, one energetic and playful and one older, calmer pup. They’re both very social and love making new friends, so if your dog enjoys companionship, they’ll have built in buddies during their stay. We welcome dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m especially comfortable with large breeds, as my Labrador Retriever is 105 pounds and my Bernese Mountain Dog is 113 pounds, so I’m experienced handling bigger, stronger dogs on walks and during playtime. Your pup will get lots of attention, supervision, and outdoor time throughout the day. I’m also active and love being outside, so whether your dog prefers walks, runs, backyard playtime, or sticking to their normal routine, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, exercised, and right at home. I love getting to know each pup ahead of time, so I do require at least 3 days notice to allow for a meet and greet before booking. My husband and I both work from home full time, which allows us to provide frequent potty breaks and constant supervision. We also have separate office spaces, so if any dogs need a break from playtime or a calmer environment, we are able to separate them as needed. With two dogs of our own, we are fully stocked with the essentials including toys, treats, water bowls, beds, and more. We also have a fully fenced in yard with a gate, so the dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time without worry.
“Meg was amazing!! We’re always nervous leaving our little rescue terrier in anyone else’s hands, but Meg was communicative and friendly, and we came home to a calm and happy pup and an exceptionally tidy house. Meg, Sadie says she can’t wait to see you again!”
“My wife and I had a great experience with Serafina house sitting for our dog. Serafina has excellent communication skills. The house was kept clean. We came home to a very happy pup! We would gladly recommend Serafina to others!”
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, and caring for them has always been a huge part of my life. From energetic puppies to senior dogs, I’ve had experience with dogs at all stages of life and have trained every dog I’ve owned. I’m patient, attentive, and believe every pet has their own personality and needs. I’ve also helped friends with their dogs, whether they needed some extra training, exercise, attention, or simply someone they could trust to care for their pets while they were away. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone else, so I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, and lots of love while you’re away. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide. My own dog, Lucy, is a big part of my life, and she’s taught me just how much personality and love our four-legged friends can bring into our lives. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pet and become their new BFF! 🐶❤️ I currently work part-time at Raising Cane’s, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. My shifts are generally 6–8 hours, and I’m able to provide pet care before and after work. I plan my schedule around my bookings so I can make sure every pet gets the attention and care they need. I’m also able to accommodate different routines and special instructions whenever possible. If your pet needs medication, I can make arrangements to provide it and can coordinate my schedule to make sure they receive it on time. I’m happy to communicate with you throughout the visit and provide updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is being well cared for while you’re away I treat every pet with patience, care, and respect. I make sure they are in a safe and comfortable environment, always have access to fresh water, and are supervised during walks and playtime. I also follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure pets feel happy and loved while they’re in my care.
About: My family adopted our first dog when I was 7-years old! It was my responsibility to pick up after the dog and take her on long, long walks. As she got older and I moved out, I would often return home to take care of her while my father was traveling for work. I got used to late night potty outings and helping her up the steps. My goal is to make sure every dog feels loved and cared for. I currently work part-time, so I have time on my hands and I would love to spend more of the free time with animals. I have two wonderful cats (a senior lady and a young lady) that I come home to. Currently, I’m available in the mornings Saturday-Tuesday and Friday, and all day on Wednesdays and Thursdays to look after your fur babies. I can also do late evenings after 8:30 Tuesday, Friday-Saturday. I have two litter boxes that are cleaned daily in my home. A plethora of cat toys, several different cat beds that my cats love to rotate around. Our fence is unfortunately broken, but I’m always happy to walk to the park nearby for playtime with your pets as needed.
“Etyam was fantastic. She was very sweet with my dog and rats, gave me nice updates, and kept track of my packages. 10/10 would recommend. I will definitely use her again when we go away.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brooklyn
Beyond thankful for Raf! We were very nervous first time Rover users who needed in home care for our two dogs, one of which was recovering from an injury and needed extra meds and TLC. Raf immediately made us and the dogs feel at ease during the meet and greet - even our reactive stranger danger dog was able to settle. He communicates frequently, sends pics and updates, and is very responsive to questions. Sadly, he had a family emergency during his sit, and demonstrated exceptional professionalism even during a really hard personal time, staying in touch with us and making sure to still provide excellent care to our pups. Thanks again for making our first Rover experience such a good one.
Carla was fantastic! I felt really at ease knowing she was with my dog Kiwi when I had a last minute request. She was super communicative and I really appreciate how much TLC Kiwi got while I was gone, and loved the pictures! 10/10 experience would absolutely recommend.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Brooklyn walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Brooklyn maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!

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 .

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.
