“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!”
“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!!!”
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.
“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!”
“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”
“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.”
“I would have been lost without Katherine. My senior cat, who is diabetic, very skittish, and shy, had special needs that Katherine went above and beyond to address. She managed his medication administration and kept me informed about his condition. I truly appreciate how she sends all the reports and pictures. I will definitely recommend her to my friends and request her service again. She is an exceptional cat sitter.”
“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!”
“Veronica was great. She took pics and let us know how they were doing. She was understanding and helped with dealing with some digestive issues our cats were having. Would 100% book again.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Maureen is amazing! I felt 100% at ease with her checking in on my cat, Benny. She provided detailed updates and the best pictures everyday, I truly felt that that Benny was in great hands. Maureen goes above and beyond and I (10/10) recommend her for your rover needs!”
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

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.
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!
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 2,484 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.
