“Jennifer stayed with our dog and two cats for a few hours while we were out of town. She was easy to communicate with, asked important questions about what our animals needed, was timely, and flexible with our changing schedules. Our animals were comfortable in her presence, and didn't seem to miss us at all when we got home. We would definitely recommend Jennifer as a pet sitter.”

“Tatyana is a reliable and caring sitter. She stayed at our house with our 11.5-year-old German Shepherd and provided excellent care, and tremendous peace of mind for us. Having worked at a kennel previously, she is comfortable around all types of dogs (and ours is a big boy). She sent periodic updates and followed our instructions well. We highly recommend her for short or extended care.”

About: I have a lot of experience with animals, especially cats and dogs. Growing up I had multiple rescue dogs and a cat. In addition to my own pets I regularly take care of my neighbors’ dogs. In the past I worked for Cherokee Kennels and volunteered for Shelter from the Storm and the Dane County Humane Society. I am currently working part time and would love to care for your pups and kitties in my free time. I am looking for jobs primarily in the evenings and weekends. I care very deeply for the health and wellness of all animals. In addition to feeding my own dog her diet specific food and treats and walking her we love to play and cuddle. This is the kind of care I have with others’ pets too.

About: Currently I’m work from home with a very flexible schedule. I love all animals and currently have another Vizsla named Kiwi who is 2. I used to run with my previous vizsla while I trained for marathons and triathlons. I like going for hikes and being outdoors so open to longer trips to the dog parks if preferred or just a stroll around the neighborhood. I enjoy playing with the fur buddies or snuggle up with them. My family includes 3 kids who are currently in college and all out on their own so I have extra time on my hands. I would love the opportunity to be of any help and once again have a flexible schedule to meet your needs. I’m very attentive to details and safety is my number 1 priority. I have dog obedience and training skills to help communicate with our furry friends. I currently work from home with a very flexible schedule. This allows me time to help busy clients and spend time with your furry friend. I am adaptable to various needs, attention to details and truly honored to help. Safety is my number one priority when caring for someone’s pet. I pay attention to body language and social cues of your dog and others that may be around to help keep everyone happy and safe.

She showed genuine interest in our dog and we felt completely comfortable leaving our dog in her care. We would be absolutely delighted to have Monica in our home again to play and care for our dog. She is reliable, responsible and kind.”

“Azaria is calm, sweet, and gentle. My dog, Sylvie, liked her immediately. The photos I received of Sylvie while I was gone showed a contented dog. When I arrived home, Sylvie was ecstatic, but not frantic, to see me. Everything in the house was in order, the way I left it. I would recommend Azaria to other pet owners.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was old enough to know what a pet was, whether it’s my own, a neighbor’s, or a friend/family member’s. I love animals, and am considering going into vet work! I have experience with both puppies/kittens and seniors as well :). I can walk, feed, give meds, and do anything you need! I’m a full-time student during the week, but I will always have time to drop-in, or stay overnight. I’m very flexible with my scheduling, so I will happily do whatever you and your pet need! While I can’t offer boarding at my home because I have four roommates, I will care for pets in every way possible no matter what! I know some nice parks for walks, and I’m also happy to chill if they’re a homebody! Again, entirely up to you and your pets needs :)

“Karina always shows such care for my pets. My dog and cat both have health issues that require multiple medicines and supplements. She always follows their routine closely, asks questions to make sure she’s providing good care, takes my dog on daily walks, and sends daily pictures. I also come home to a clean house. I will not hesitate to request pet/house sitting from Karina again and I highly recommend her!”

“Anik was an amazing cat sitter! Excellent communication, genuine care, and incredible attention to detail throughout the entire stay. The cats received so much love and attention. Anik went above and beyond, including taking the time to train French Fry to run on the wheel! That extra effort and patience really showed how much Anik cared about making the cats happy and comfortable. We would definitely book with Anik for future care.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I recently lost my 2-year-old pup unexpectedly, and while I'm figuring out the right time to welcome another dog into my family, I'd love the opportunity to care for yours like my own. I've cared for many family and friends' dogs & cats, including overnight stays, with experience ranging from tiny 3 lb pups to 80 lb dogs. I also occasionally help care for my roommate's sister's three Great Danes, so I'm very comfortable around larger breeds! I raised and trained my own pup from just 3 months old, teaching her all sorts of tricks — both useful and just-for-fun! I enjoy working with dogs, keeping them mentally stimulated, and finding fun ways to engage with them. I also work in the Emergency Department, so I'm comfortable staying calm under pressure, thinking on my feet, and handling unexpected situations. I'm responsible, attentive, patient, and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, extra attention, help reinforcing training, or simply someone to keep them company, I'll do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being cared for just like one of my own! I typically work three 12-hour shifts per week, which leaves me with several days off to dedicate to pet care! When I'm not working, I love spending time outdoors walking, running, biking, and hiking. I enjoy bringing pets along for adventures when they're up for it, but I'm just as happy having a relaxing night in with a furry friend. I can easily adjust my routine to fit your pet's needs, whether that means getting outside for exercise and playtime, sticking to their usual feeding and walking schedule, or having a quiet day filled with cuddles and companionship. I genuinely enjoy having animals around and would love to make them part of my everyday routine! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority! I keep pet gates available throughout my home to help create safe spaces and separate areas when needed. On some weekends, there may also be a very friendly, laid-back mini schnauzer in the home, but I always prioritize making sure all pets are comfortable with one another and have their own space. I'm comfortable with the realities of pet ownership, including accidents, muddy paws, shedding, and the occasional mess! I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and am happy to clean up after pets as needed. I also understand the importance of following your instructions, maintaining familiar routines, keeping doors and gates secure, and being mindful of potential hazards. When caring for pets in their own homes, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own and do my best to keep your pet's routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I want you to feel confident that both your pet and your home are in good hands while you're away!

“I can't recommend Kate enough! My doggo (Kooper) has some separation anxiety. When I reached out to Kate we discussed what her home would be like for a dog. I was a little nervous, because typically we ask sitters to come and stay at our house but decided that we would do a meet a greet to see how that went. Kate, Cody, Gus (dog), and Poe (cat) made our dog and us so comfortable. Gus and Kooper got along great and even though Koop has never been around cats, him and Poe were fast friends! Kate has a great yard for playing and her schedules allows for lots of 1:1 time with the pets. Kate was flexible, provided consistent updates, and was extremely responsive with her communications. Everything went wonderfully! Kooper was sent home happy, safe, and with a positive report card and goodies. I will definitely be connecting with Kate again about future visits!”

We got daily updates and pictures and felt totally comfortable while we were away. Zeba was happy and relaxed when we got back and had obviously been well cared for. We'll definitely use Lizzy again!”

About: Hello! I have lots of experience caring for both cats and dogs! I’m comfortable administering medications and injections to animals who need them. I grew up with an Australian Shepherd/Blue Heeler mix, so I’m very familiar with high-energy dogs and their needs. I currently have two cats of my own, and I also used to volunteer at the Eastshore Humane Society in Chilton, where I gained additional hands-on experience caring for animals. I love animals and would be happy to help care for your furry family members! :) I am currently a second-year medical student at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health (UWSMPH) with an interest in psychiatry. I completed my undergraduate studies at Columbia University in New York City, but I am originally from Appleton, Wisconsin! My schedule can vary depending on my medical school commitments, and I am currently in my preclinical studies, which typically take place Monday through Friday. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their usual routines. I’m available for overnight stays or drop-in visits, depending on your pet’s needs and your preferences. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, medications, and other care to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away!

FAQs for House Sitting - Brooklyn

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Brooklyn is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 845 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brooklyn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Brooklyn walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Brooklyn maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

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!

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.

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.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Brooklyn. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
