“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”
“Janet took incredible care of our two kitties while we were away. She paid extra attention to their care needs and went above and beyond to entertain and love on them! Her updates were so lovely and gave us peace of mind while we missed them. I would recommend Janet to any pet owner looking for a trustworthy animal lover!”
“Katherine did a fantastic job taking care of my dog Roscoe. She took plenty of pictures and provided timely updates. 5/5 stars I will consider using her services again.”
“Veronica is wonderful! She is very flexible and reliable and has always been available to come check on our two cats, both of whom can be a little shy but took instantly to Veronica. Highly recommend!”
“James was fantastic with our cats. He had thoughtful questions prior to us being away, and was really communicative during our time away. He went above and beyond when we had a sensor issue with our Simplisafe alarm system.”
“Erin was great. Timely, great photo updates, and no news to report. Will definitely be reaching out to her again! That was the first time using Rover, and first time leaving my dog for a full weekend without a family member, and all went well!”
“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!”
“Ellen did a great job! We received regular photo updates while we were away for 10 days and came home to a happy cat! We would recommend her to others looking for a pet caretaker.”
“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.”
“As always, Jackie provides the best care for us! She has been our solid cat sitter for us now almost 2 years. We appreciate the care she gives while we are away.”
“Julia was so awesome and flexible!! I had some concerns with booking a pet sitter at an apartment complex, but Julia made things go incredibly smooth! Will definitely be using her again.”
“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!!!”
“Mitch has been so wonderful with our nervous dog, Bandit! Bandit takes a while to warm up to strangers, and Mitch has done a great job giving him space but also winning over his affection. He gives great, detailed notes at the end of the check in and is very responsive over text as well for scheduling. Looking forward to using him for an upcoming overnight visit!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brooklyn
Bethany watched my new kittens while I was on a weekend trip and I couldn't be happier! She sent me updates and pictures everyday which I loved. This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. I will use Bethany again next time I need extra help with the kitties. Thank you!
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. ❤️
Katherine was amazing. She took care of my 13 year old husky who is stuck in her ways. Despite Roxy not being very welcoming Katherine didn’t give up and was able to give Roxy her meds twice a day and let her out. She even cleaned up after Roxy when she had an accident in the house (no fault of Katherine’s). Her notes and pictures for every visit was such a comfort.
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 September 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 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.
