“Katherine was amazing! She came over before we left to do a trial run just to be sure my dogs wouldn't eat her if she came in alone. We got daily updates from her with pictures. She worked well with my sister who was splitting duties with her. I don't have anything at all to complain about. She noticed we had a cat locked in a room and rescued her. I really don't think you can find anyone that could do a better job! I would definitely have her back again!”
“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”
“She was great with my very senior golden retriever. Would definitely recommend her. She kept me updated on how my dog was doing and gave lots of love and attention.”
“Ellen! Thanks for being so flexible during the holidays and taking great care of our old lady Mocha. The pictures looked great and you had great communication. Made us feel better being away from 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!!!”
“Janet was awesome! She made sure to cuddle my cat, play with him and give him treats! He loved her. It was great peace of mind knowing she would be dropping in on him. I really enjoyed the photos and daily updates. Would 1000% recommend her to anyone!”
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs. I grew up around cats and have been a dog owner myself for the past 5 years, in addition to regularly caring for friends’ dogs. I work a 9–5 job from home, which means your pet gets plenty of company throughout the day rather than being left alone for hours. I’m also able to take dogs on an extended walk during my lunch break, so they can get some exercise, fresh air, and attention in the middle of the day. Whether your pet needs a long walk, some playtime, a cozy companion while you’re away, or just a little extra TLC, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and preferences. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for! My weekly routine is pretty consistent, which is great for dogs who love having a predictable schedule! Every workday I start each morning with a trip to the gym, then come home and take the pups on a nice, extended walk through the Metroparks near my house. Once we’re home, I settle into work for a few hours while the dogs get some downtime. I have a fenced-in yard, so I like to let them out regularly throughout the morning to stretch their legs, sniff around, and get some fresh air. Lunchtime means another extended walk! It’s a great way to break up the workday and give everyone a chance to burn off some energy. Afterward, my own dog usually settles in for a well-earned afternoon nap while I finish up work. Once the workday wraps up, we usually head outside for one more walk before settling in for the evening. If everyone’s feeling a little less energetic, we’ll skip the walk and have some backyard fun instead, such as fetch, tug-of-war, or just general goofing around. Basically, your pup can expect plenty of exercise, fresh air, playtime, and company throughout the day, with lots of opportunities to relax and recharge too. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide a comfortable, low-stress home environment where pups can feel like part of the family. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside for fresh air and playtime, along with plenty of opportunities for walks and exercise throughout the day. Since I work from home, I’m also around to keep an eye on things and make sure everyone is doing well. For daycare and boarding, I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, crate time, and any other preferences or house rules you provide. I’ll also make sure dogs have time to relax and nap when they need a break from all the excitement. When introducing dogs to my home, I prioritize compatibility and a gradual introduction so everyone feels comfortable. I want every pup staying with me to feel safe, supervised, and genuinely at home, not like they’re being dropped off somewhere unfamiliar.
“Veronica was quick to respond to a last minute request and I had a great experience working with her! She had great communication and I felt at ease leaving my elderly cat in her care for a few days :) definitely 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!”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Jackie take care of our cats while we were away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that Jackie is a true cat lover and professional.”
“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”
“This was my first time using Rover, and James made the entire process incredibly easy. Before I even booked, he took the time to explain how everything worked and answered all my questions, which helped me feel comfortable right away. During the first week of appointments, he continued to check in, guide me through the app, and make sure I knew what to expect. He visits three days a week to help socialize my very grumpy, very particular cat, and he’s been so patient with her. He gives her space when she needs it, tries gently to engage when she’s willing, and always makes sure she’s fed and cared for. He’s flexible, kind, and clearly committed to helping her warm up at her own pace. The photos he takes are great. They always capture her personality and the fun notes he leaves on each report card make the updates something I look forward to. His consistency and care have made a real difference, and I’m grateful to have found someone I trust.”
“Thanks Tina for taking such wonderful care of Gracie and Kya while we were away. You will be top of mind the next time we require a pet sitter. I can’t recommend your services enough. In fact, I think the cats enjoyed your company more than ours.”

“Maureen was awesome taking care of my sweet angel while I was in Hawaii! The time difference is 9 hours so she made it very easy and stress free while also sending a lot of great pics. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Shandra was fantastic. She did a wonderful job checking on our cats for us and giving nice updates. It’s the best Rover experience that we have had. We plan to work with Shandra next time we’re out of town.”
About: I've always been around dogs, cats, kittens, or puppies. Since I was young, we've had some kind of furry animal. The litters of puppies and kittens were always my favorite. They became part of my heart. My favorite past time activity as a kid was playing outside with the pets. I'm a full time student, but after class I am available to make sure the pets I care for get lots of love and attention. My pets have a lot of space outside and are really simple to take care of. I love the routine we've built. With my clients, I made sure to keep the pets well fed and always having water. As well as keeping them active.

Katherine was the perfect solution for us for our dog Chaplin to be let out on our wedding day. Our pup was going to be too anxious to board and everyone we knew was going to be at the wedding. He has some quirks from his past life of being afraid of stairs coming back into the house as Katherine went above and beyond to do a meet and greet to learn our tricks to get him inside. She even brought our packages inside and took pictures to let us know. She was very professional, sent lots of updates and pictures and we truly felt comfortable with her with our pup which is saying a lot. I couldn’t recommend her enough!
Janet first of all is so quick to respond. And gives the best updates on each pet. The pictures she sends are so cute, especially when I’m out of town it’s so nice to see my babies. So happy to know my pets are taken care of when needed. Highly recommend!!!!
Veronica has watched mittens a few times and I couldn’t recommend her enough! She is incredibly knowledgeable about cats and understands that every cat has their own personality, needs, and comfort level. She does a wonderful job making sure Mittens is happy and comfortable, and I always feel completely at ease knowing he’s in her care. It’s such a comfort to have someone I can genuinely rely on when I’m away. She is dependable and I know mittens is in very good hands!
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
My partner and I just returned from a long weekend, and it was the first time ever leaving our little 13.5 yr old girl with anyone but very close friends. Stephanie and Michelle not only put my mind at ease during the initial meet-n-greet; I received daily updates, with photos. I cannot stress enough the anxiety I felt leading up to the trip. I needn’t have worried. I will book Stephanie and Michelle every time. Highly recommend.
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. ❤️
Tyler was fantastic and we wood definitely book with him again! We appreciated the chance to speak with him through a pre-visit and introduce him to our pets. He was very communicative with us, and took great care to spend quality time with our pets during each visit. His photos brought smiles to our faces and allowed us to relax, knowing that our pets were receiving excellent care.

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 September 2026, there are 2,461 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
- 98% 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.
