About: I've always grown up living around pets and animals of any kind, grew up with farm animals and household pets, lots of experience with both large and small dogs, and plenty of experience with cats. I currently have 3 cats at my home, and I love spending time with dogs as well. I've worked with both young and old cats and dogs as well! I also have experience with disabled pets (one of my dogs was a rescue that lost a leg in an accident). My partner works full time as a manager at a local pizza place in Stoughton, so they might come and go a bit for work, but I work from home and am able to stay in the home with your animals when and as needed. I work from home as a digital artist, so my schedule is completely open and flexible, and I can fit in pet care at any time that might be needed. I am very open to working around any specific care needs your fur family might need, and can work around your wants and needs for your pets care in and out of your home!
About: I grew up on a farm, which is pretty much where my animal obsession began! I was surrounded by cows, pigs, horses, chickens, cats, dogs — basically if it had fur, feathers, or hooves, I probably helped take care of it. Growing up around so many different animals taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and how every animal has their own unique personality. Ever since then, animals have just naturally been a huge part of my life! I’m a full-time nurse with a flexible schedule, since I only work 3–4 days a week. That means I have plenty of time, energy, and attention to dedicate to your furry friends! Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I love making pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I accommodate to every pets needs! I have crates, I do structured playtime and go on long walks to exert energy. I also have a friendly dogs who would love to keep your pet company.
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.

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.
“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!”

I’m open to any care options at your home for your pet. Your preference for your pet’s care and safety is of upmost importance to me.
“Hayley is amazing! I recommend her wholeheartedly. She takes amazing care of my cats, and they are happy to see her every time she comes! I even confused the dates when I booked her, and she was still able to come and help me out on a day I hadn't included. She's wonderful!!”


About: I love dogs! I grew up with dogs, as well as have a wide range of experience with caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with disabilities.

I’m a single mom of an amazing 6 year old. She spends most of the summer with her dad. I would love to fill my time caring for furry friends. I have an apartment and take my own dogs for walks 2-3 times a day. We try to make it to the dog park as much as possible. While, I’m not home dogs do need to be crated. But, I make every effort to be present as much as possible to minimize crate use.

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.
“Heather is a blessing to my dog family! One of the most compassionate, understanding and knowledgeable humans I’ve had the pleasure of coming across in a long time. She respects each of my four dogs in their own way, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch over them while I’m away. Thank you Heather, you have no idea how stressful and unbearable it was without meeting you. I appreciate everything you do!”

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.
“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 😃”

About: I cannot remember a time in my life where I was not caring for pets. Growing up my family had an asundry of pets including cats, dogs, parakeets, guinea pigs, a few ferrets, a paralyzed iguana, and more! Though I spent a few years during college and a medical school without pets of my own, I was often called upon by friends to house sit or watch their dogs while they were away. We would spend many a day relaxing on the couch, playing with their favorite toys, or exploring the city. I recently moved to Madison and made it approximately 2 weeks before adopting a bonded pair of senior cats that have kept me on my toes ever since. They’re a lovely 10 year old brother/sister pair that are a lovely duo to return home to each night, I have a mildly chaotic schedule but will do my best to prioritize your pets and treat them as I would my own! I work more than full time with a highly variable schedule. Though my schedule can vary I will do my best to prioritize your pet as I am able and am open to communication with you to ensure that you/your pets’ needs are met while also ensuring I fulfill my responsibilities! I promise to leave your house as clean as I found it (or cleaner!). More than happy to empty litter boxes or clean up a rogue mess from a nervous pup. Will do my very best to make sure you and your pet are as happy as possible when you return home!

About: I have dog sat for various different families since being in college. Growing up my family lived on a small hobby farm as well and therefore I am accustomed to many different animals and their needs. I enjoy the routine and exercise caring for dogs requires and I hope I can help make your travels less stressful knowing your dogs are in good hands! I am a full time special education teacher and therefore I am off during the summer months which frees me up to care for others pets during the week and weekends. During the school year, my weekends are free and allows for dog care. I am not offering services in my own home. I have a clear understanding of leave things how they were before I got to the house. For example, if I’m staying the weekend I leave with dishes cleaned, bed stripped, and floor vacuumed. If I am walking the dog, I clean up any mess that may have been made with the walk as well. I am gentle, but firm when needed for the dogs. If your dog doesn’t do well with other dogs, I will try to take a low traffic area or follow what works best for you all so the dog has its routine. My goal with each service is to act similarly to you as owners so that the dog has a sense of routine and safety.

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.

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.

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.
