About: I grew up on a horse farm. I always had dogs for most of my life . Except when I lived in an apartment for a short time where I could not have one. My sister and I use to have fake dog shows as kids. It was so much fun. Now I have 2 loveable doggies of my own that i adopted . They love our fenced in backyard and my daughter and I walk them every day as a team.When Taylor was a toddler we would go out and visit grandma and aunt / sister and give chino her dog lots of love and walks. Also in the last 5 years my late moms dog rosie who was also adopted. Dogs are great.

About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and caring for them. I have experience with dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, cleaning up after them, and spending time playing and keeping them comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic or more shy and relaxed. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and loved while their owner is away. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, or extended care. With my background as a former dog groomer and long-term experience in the pet industry, I’m very comfortable caring for animals and enjoy making them feel safe, calm, and cared for. I care for pets by following their normal routine closely, including feeding, walking, playtime, and any medications. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and comfort, and I’m experienced in handling different temperaments from my time working in boarding facilities and pet care. My goal is to make pets feel safe and cared for as if they were my own.

About: I’ve cared for my own dogs for the past 8 years and have been walking dogs even longer. I currently pet sit and walk dogs (and cats!) for several families in my area. I’m responsible, flexible, and love animals of every breed and size. I’m in school and also work part time. Flexible schedule, please reach out for current availability. Im happy to find a time that works best! I’m attentive, reliable, and always put safety first. I follow pet parents’ instructions closely and make sure every walk or visit is calm, safe, and stress-free.
About: I have 2 dogs of my own. Also I have experience with older dogs and puppies. I love all animals! I'm not scared of much either! I currently work part time. So I'm pretty open. Tuesdays and every other Sunday I'm available afternoon. That could potentially change if more work comes in. I care for my pets by taking them to the dog park twice a week making sure they have food and water. Also making sure they are utd on their shots. For taking care of your pet tho that would go off of how you would want me to take care of your animals. You are the owner. I'm just there to help you out and take care of your animals.
“Jolie has been super helpful. She loves animals and cares about them. She also respects and meets pet owners' needs. I couldn’t be happier with booking her. She is taking care of my babies, and I will definitely work with her again in the future.”

About: I grew up taking care of many different animals but I’ve always been fond of dogs the most! The last couple years I started dog sitting for coworkers, family and neighbors. I would say I am very experienced when it comes to animals:) Mondays and Wednesdays I don’t work, along with some weekends. Mornings to early afternoons works best for my schedule. Summertime hours will be more flexible. Your pups safety is my number one priority, along with your home. Leaving instructions for myself would be very helpful that way I know I’m doing my best for you and your animal.
“Kelly is awesome! My pups took to her right away. She gave an update and sent pictures for each drop in visit. I will definitely be using her for future bookings! Thanks so much Kelly 😃”

“Whitney was great! She came in for a drop-in visit while we were away for a day trip. Silly Millie got into things she wasn't supposed to and Whitney gladly put things away. She was also super prompt with responding and it was easy setting up times to pick up and drop off keys. She also offered to come again later in the day in the case that we were coming back later than expected.”

“We had Kate do several drop in visits while we were out of town. She was very responsive, took great care of our 2 cats, and even brought some Christmas treats for them after confirming they were allowed to have them. We would definitely book with Kate in the future!”

About: I have pet-sitting experience for all kinds of animals. I've always loved pets and have a house full of chickens, rabbits, cats, a snake, birds, fish and dogs. I am a respectful and accommodating person, happy to give you regular updates, send pictures, and if you would like, collect your mail or water your plants. I am organized and I will ensure your home is the same upon your return. I'll be glad to walk your dog(s) in the morning and/or in the evening. We can gather these finer details of your pets via email. I have experience with all kinds of animals. From raising them to providing proper space for them as well as long term care. Chickens, Great Danes, reptiles, you name it. I've owned many animals all my life and I want to continue to add more experience by sharing my time with other pets. Caring for all kinds of animals brings me incredible joy! Ensuring they have fresh food and water, exercise, stimulation, and love is of the utmost importance. I am flexible and can work with you to suit the needs of your pets. I'm comfortable giving medications too.
“Laura came for a drop in visit for our dog, Ash for the first time. She was willing to meet him before hand and was very flexible the day of the visit. She even came a little early late notice! She was great with Ash who is a high energy dog. We would definitely book with her again :)”

“Elizabeth was a life saver! She did such an amazing job with our dog who can be a bit of a handful! Very professional and cared for Stella like she was her own, I was really nervous leaving her with someone new for the first time and Elizabeth put our minds at ease. Can’t recommend her enough!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11, have helped out friends and family and coworkers on long vacations; and, eventually, I adopted and trained a dog of my own from Fetch (local foster rescue in Madison, WI!). I love dogs deeply, and I love walks almost as much! I’ve worked long hours most of my student and adult life, so I understand how important it is to have someone that cares for your pet as much as you while you’re away. Whether it’s work, family/friends, sabbatical/vacation, or a break for solo time, I get how important the routine and schedule is for your pet. Or to have someone you trust step up for a brief period of time while you’re busy. Whether they need snuggles, long walks, or even runs, I’d be overjoyed to take care of your loved one. Their world is only as big as we make it, so it’s a privilege to help expand theirs with lots to sniff and see! I’m currently not working while I focus on my health and family, so I am able to help with your midday, or evening, walks M-F. In your home, I can pop in and out for the walk: I have plenty of poop bags and treats to spare so no need to provide those. I do ask for a leash and/or harness to be provided as these are specific to each dog, and I want them to have the best fit.
About: I have had dogs since my childhood and have worked with breeds of different sizes and backgrounds, including some with special needs. In my home life, I have two cats that I adore and spend much of my free time with. I’m available all day on weekends, as well as from 5:30pm onward on weekdays (typically). If you have specific requirements for your animal let me know and we can create a schedule that works best for you! I can perform any specific needs that your pet may need. One of my own pets has special medical requirements, so I am familiar with taking care of animals that need extra care.
About: I have had pets most of my life. I had primarily dogs growing up and primarily cats as an adult but I love both equally. Animals are great companions that deserve greatness just like us. I am currently available most of the time! My only thing in life is my two year old son and he loves all animals as well! Whether it’s throwing a ball for a pup or snuggling a cat, we got you covered. I am comfortable working wherever I’m needed as well as whenever. As long as I know the animals temperament and schedule if applicable I can accommodate.
About: I have several years of experience caring for many different types of animals. I have been a cat owner my whole life, so am very comfortable caring for cats (indoor or outdoor) in any capacity. I have previous experience dog-sitting for both small and large dogs, as well as senior dogs. I have experience providing drop-in visits for potty breaks, walks, feedings, cleaning litter boxes, administering medications, playtime, extra cuddles, as well as staying overnight to provide daily care for pets whose owners are out of town for multiple days. I also have some experience checking in and feeding farm animals such as chickens, guineas, farm cats, and cows. I am a big animal lover that has been around animals my whole life. I would love to give you peace of mind when you are away from home to know your pets are being looked after and well cared for! Currently a full-time college student and working part time in the Madison area. I have a flexible schedule so can do drop-in visits or stay overnight with pets if you live within a decent commuting distance to Madison. Comfortable caring for many different types of animals. I can provide most anything from a quick check-in, to an overnight stay if feasible. I am able to provide walks or outdoor time for dogs, comfortable cleaning litter boxes or other pet cages, and can even administer medications if needed too.
About: I have lifelong experience and a deep love for dogs! I have cared for and lived with dogs my entire life, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. Growing up in a dog-loving household, I've learned how to meet each dog's needs, whether that means giving high-energy pups lots of playtime, or providing gentle care and patience for older dogs who need a bit of a slower pace. More than anything, I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Your pup will be in caring, capable hands! I have a full-time job that primarily is throughout the night, so I am happy to watch and play with your pup anytime in the morning, as well as any time on my days off! I’ll make sure your pup is always in my eyesight and my care. I’ll be sure to walk them and get their energy out so they are loved and cared for as much as they deserve!

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.
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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Brooklyn with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
