House Sitting in Brooklyn

“Madalyn was awesome! All the dogs and even the cat enjoyed their time with her. We came home to happy pets and the house just as we left it. Highly recommend.”

“Sydney was great! The dogs loved her and they were well taken care of. We got pictures of them being their loving (needy) selves. The house was taken care of as well.”

About: I've cared for cats and dogs my own as well as other owners, for the last 20-plus years I also have experience with other kinds of animals. I protect animals fiercely and I am extremely receptive of detail and specifics that any pet owner may have for me. I have varied availability throughout the week and weekend. Although I have another job, and have a family, I still have flexibility to do pet care. :-) I care for my own animals deeply in one of my top priorities is meeting their needs. I probably even go above and beyond for someone else's pet as I understand that someone else is putting their fur babies in my care. I appreciate good communication and I pay attention to details that a pet owner may have for me.

“Leo did a great job taking care of Smokey (our cat) and house sitting. We will book with him again when the need arises.”

“Sidney was amazing! She sent me pics and updates of my pup and took great care of him while I was away, I would 100% recommend her!!”

“Tatyana is awesome!! Stayed at our house for two weeks to take care of our dogs and she rocked it!! Not only did she take care of the dogs but she also took good care of the house. Looking forward to working with Tatyana again in the future!!!”

“Phillip did a great job watching my doggo. He sent photos and updates which helped ease the separation. One photo was so funny I am printing it for my office desk. He left the house exactly as it was and I absolutely would rebook for our next trip.”

Corey H.

“First time using Rover. Trinty contacted us to make sure our address was correct. She sent an update, complete with picture. It was an easy job with an old dog and he seemed very content. Will use her again.”

“Ana did a great job with Willow. She pictures daily and reassured me Willow was good. Ana is professional and loving. Ana was also very flexible with me when I needed an extra night last minute. I will definitely be booking with Ana again!”

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.

“Rhandee did a great job with our pups and was very responsive. She took the time to come meet our dogs prior to our trip, which was super appreciated. We would definitely book her again!”

Jodi F.

“Travis did a great job with our two dogs and cat! He was very attentive and caring to our animals, which we greatly appreciated. He sent us pictures and kept in touch with us daily too, which we asked for and loved. He was also very responsible at our home and left it in the same condition in which he found it. Highly recommend and will hire him again.”

About: I have had cats for more than half of my life and dog-sat for around the same amount of time. I used to dog sit two huskies all the time, had a dog of my own for a short time, and have experience dog sitting for labs as well! I have even taken care of a bearded dragon and snake on multiple occasions. Rover does not list animals other than cats and dogs directly but I am happy to arrange care for another animal as well, including exotic animals, for a fee that can be discussed. I am volunteering at the humane society and am very involved in caring for animals as much as I have time for. I am excited and ready to care for any and all pets that need it and will stick to specific details given. I won't hesitate to ask questions about the care of your pets when I have them to make sure your pet gets the utmost care and love while you're away or busy, and id yoy have plants that need watering, say the word and I'll do that too! I am currently full time in senior year of high-school and volunteering for two hours a week on the weekends, but I graduate in a month and will have all the time in the world to pet sit! I follow every instruction for food, water, walk, and treats and ask questions if I am unsure of something. I tend to stay longer than needed for check in visits just to give pets some company if I have the time. Unless pets are not very social, they will get all kinds of attention, and if they have any anxiety or behavioral differences I will be very careful and act however is best for them. I am very sure to be on time for visits and will be very specific to follow instructions for walking or being taken outside.

“Amanda was a godsend when our house sitter cancelled last minute. We met her first then her with her dog, Sedona, and I knew right away this would work out really well. You see my dog, Millie, doesn’t warm up to people easily and doesn’t always play nice with other dogs but Millie instantly liked both of them. Amanda stayed at our house along with Sedona, so Millie was spoiled having her two new friends stay with her. They went on many walks and Amanda sent me lots of pictures while we were gone. I will definitely use Amanda again!”

“Stacia was awesome! Our pups were happy to have us home but seemed to be well taken care of and not extra needy and they gave her lots of love before she left! We will definitely use her if she's available on our next trip.”

John K.

“She took great care of Odara and the kitties again! Very attentive and sent us videos and pictures every day”

About: Your pets health and wellbeing is my top priority. I take the time to connect with them and be there for them while you are away. It can be an anxious time for pets, but I am calm, patient, and compassionate towards them. I have experience caring for family pets big and small, working dogs, and horses/goats while owners are away for extended periods of time. My first dog was a loving, energetic German Shorthaired Pointer who taught me self awareness as a pet owner. I currently work a seasonal position 7am to 3:30pm during Monday-Friday and I am available to house/pet sit while you’re away. Just send me a message and we can talk about how I might best help your family’s most important member :) Caring for your pet is a very important job that I take seriously. When I am with them I take the time to play/interact with them and make sure they are getting enough physical and mental exercise.

“We (and our dogs) loved having Nicole sit for us. She is an excellent communicator and took care of our pups like they were her own. I’d absolutely have her stay with our dogs again—and based on their lukewarm reaction to us coming home, I think they’d like to see her again too. 🤣”

Kim B.

“Maureen left our pup and house better than when we headed off for vacation. Great communication — responsive, but also gave us space to focus on our trip. I recommend her.”

Raphaella F.

“Lauren and Nia were great with our pets and us! This was our first time using pet sitters and they really helped put us at ease through the process. With picture and video updates we knew our dogs and cats were having a good time and being well cared for. Highly recommend using them!”
