“Janet always does an amazing job. This visit was last minute and she dropped everything and changed the dates. We also had complex instructions for our rabbit which she followed flawlessly. Highly recommend!”
“Riya was wonderful with our two cats and dog! We made a lot of special requests to keep all of our pets happy and Riya was happy to help with everything we asked! She clearly cares a lot about animals and we are lucky to have found her!”
“Katherine is an absolute delight to work with. She’s punctual, communicative, truly cares for our animals and is wonderful about putting up with and understanding their individual issues and quirks. We love having her work with our animals and are so happy to have her.”
“Did a Great Job, I would recommend Angele to anyone that needs a Dog walker to help them out. She provided me with plenty of pictures for each walk & even a video. Thanks Angele!!!”
“rebecca was amazing with my fur baby. he has separation anxiety and she helped and cared deeply for him while i was away for 4 days. if you have a shelter dog rebecca will be the perfect for you because she has a lot of patience and genuinely care for animals!”
“Kenna is great. Ive used her multiple times and each time has been great. She's on time and dog adores her. She is very considerate about specific things youbtell her about your pup. I'd recommend her to everyone! Thanks kenna”
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful, and I am so thankful we found her! She completely eased my anxieties about leaving my two senior, high maintenance dogs for the weekend. It was obvious from the start that she is a true dog person. She followed all of my instructions, communicated clearly, and kept me updated with pictures throughout each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. She was patient, attentive, and more than capable of handling my senior boys and all of their quirks. I truly hope Melissa is willing to watch my pups again in the future because I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Once again had Victoria visit my shy boy over the holidays — she was fantastic and he absolutely loved her! He seemed less stressed than normal when I came back home as well. I know that she came to give my cat love even when she was feeling sick, so that meant a lot to both of us. Thank you so much Victoria!”
“Joe was amazing and did a great job with our fur babies. We wanted to find someone that would love our dogs and also we felt comfortable around our 100+ pound Alaskan Malamute and our Huskies (plus their endless amount of fur!). They all loved spending time with Joe and he took lots of great pictures. He was on time and made sure to update us constantly. We would absolutely recommend him and will be calling him for moments we need someone to drop in on them.”
“Jessica dropped-in to feed and take care of our cats twice a day while we were gone for 10 days. She did a wonderful job, we’ve just come home and our cats are still happy and healthy, and their litter boxes clean! We had a crazy wind storm while we were gone that blew open a side door and knocked down part of our fence, she even helped to close & re-lock the door and sent a picture of our fence to let us know what had happened. This help showed me she cared about how we felt when we came home from our trip abroad!”
“Mitchell is my first pet sitter experience and they were fantastic. I requested 30 minute check ins for my 2 (normal) cats and they did just that. They even walked me through the process of handing off keys (very important thing to consider!) When I got home both my cats were chill and happy and getting photos and videos of the cats every day while I'm out camping is just the best thing ever. Good times, I will book again and I recommend Mitchell for your (and your pet's) peace of mind.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we had such a great experience with Veronica! She came over to meet our dog a day before we left which was much appreciated. She has a ton of dog experience and it was great to know our anxious pup was in good hands while we were away :) we were so happy to get pictures and updates throughout the day too!”
“Tiffany is absolutely wonderful! We were going out of town and needed someone to watch our Motley Crue and she definitely came to our rescue! We have two dogs that absolutely adore her now and a big old Tabby that's very grateful that he got all his treats! I highly recommend Tiffany and you will know your animals are in good hands with her!”
“Maureen is wonderful! Communicative and friendly, she took great care of our girls while we were out of town. Writes adorable updates for them too which was very appreciated.”
About: What sets me apart is that I’m home full-time and it’s just me taking care of your pet, so they get constant attention and one-on-one care. I’m patient, gentle, and experienced with both puppies and senior pets, and I always follow each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy. It’s just me caring for the pets, and I don’t work, so pet care fits into my day really naturally. I have plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving each pet the attention they deserve. I have a very clean house no smoking in the house I have a big yard in the front to play all day in. And my house is good enough space

Can't say enough positive things about Janet and her services - she took great care of Scarlet, our 12.5-year-old dog and sent wonderful reports of each visit. We strongly feel that Janet gave us peace of mind while my husband was at work and I was out of town. Thanks to Janet and Rover!
Katherine did an outstanding job attending to my 2 cats while I was away for a week. She described everything she did in detail via message within Rover app, every day at the specified time. She scooped the litter boxes, washed the food and water bowls, replenished the water and food, commented on much they ate, cleaned up the litter trails, and took out the bagged cleanups from the litterboxes to the trash cans. She visited the house prior to my vacation and listened closely to everything I said, taking notes and asking questions. She visibly wanted to meet my pets and get to know them better. I highly recommend Katherine to anyone who wants excellent care taken of their pets.
Victoria was great! I did a meet and great with her before I left on vacation and she immediately put me at ease. She is very personable and professional when it comes to cat sitting. She sent me pictures and updates everyday she stopped by. I highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Brooklyn on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,482 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Brooklyn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Brooklyn. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
