“Tabitha is WONDERFUL! My dog is very emotionally needy (has anxiety), and I needed a sitter very last minute. Tabitha came to the rescue and was so attentive with Franny and did such a good job with her! I really trust her and i can’t wait to use her again 🙂”
“Erica was wonderful with our girl Mia! She met with us ahead of time to meet Mia prior to the booking. During her stay she kept in contact with pictures of Mia which made me feel comfortable being away. I highly recommend her!”
“Our cat seems to like Nico a lot, which matters a lot to us. We've hired Nico several times now, and are always happy with Nico's great communication and care for our cat and house.”
About: I am a big animal lover! I have had many animals growing up (cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pig & ducks!) I also pet sit for a family who had 3 cats, I have worked with them for 1 year now. I currently have an orange tabby named Theo, he is my world. Me & my spouse adopted him 2 years ago from the Humane Society & he has been the perfect addition to our little family. I am here to love your fur babies! Please feel reach out me with any questions. Thanks! I work a regular full time job. I have fostered 2 cats before and it was a wonderful experience. Most of the time spent with the cats, would be in the morning and all evening long after work to take care and love them. I have an apartment building that is very secure, you can only gain access the to building if you have a key fob. The animals have plenty of space to move around and be free, or sleep super comfy on my furniture.
About: I love four legged (or less) family members and pets. I currently have two pets of my own - a chill 6 year old Australian & Shephard mix, and a fierce independent 8 year old cat. I provide two walks daily for boarders, day care and housesitting, reoccurring walks and drops in for cats and dogs. I am conveniently located 12 min drive from BWI, 14 drive from the Baltimore Greyhound station and less than 5 minutes away from two pet hospitals. What will your fur baby need for their stay? Their food and treats, and we got the rest. Beds, toys, bowls, & Easy Walks and Leash will be used. Dogs must wear a collar and/or be microchipped. If no collar is worn, one will be provided.

A 15-20 minute to discuss pet needs will be conducted in the backyard or at your home (drop in, walking or housesitting). • Daily Communication: 1-2 updates a day with photos. Detailed rover cards for walks and drops ins. You will find me to be flexible, reliable and a great pet photographer! • Free-roaming vs. Crates: Dogs will free roam during the day while at home, unless they would benefit from being crated/ require a space to feel safe. At night dogs will either free roam or sleep in crate. •Ensure Safety and Cleanliness: Pet items are routinely washed, including your own. All humans will hand off pets and items outside.

After Hours Pickup and Drop will incur an additional $20 per pickup/drop off or an additional night at standard rate. I am in graduate school, when I'm not studying or in class I have time for taking care of other's fur babies. Caring for pets keeps me sane and brings me joy. At home there is a sizable fenced back yard (6 feet privacy fence) with a Australian/ German shepherd mix who is super friendly, & a cat who sticks to the window. We have plenty of dog toys, treats ( I won't tell the vet), sizeable beds, food bowls and cuddles.
“We have never used a sitter in our house before our dogs before but thought we should try it because one of our dogs get anxious going to other people's houses. Kathleen was such a great choice in a house/dog sitter. She was communicative, sent plenty of photos of the dogs, and overall went above and beyond in making sure they were well cared for while we were away for the weekend, including administering eyedrops to one of dogs who HATES getting them and walking a tough walker. We would 100% recommend Kathleen and will definitely be requesting her again for future house sits if she is available!”
“Sarah is the greatest! Our dogs took to her right away, and she to them. She sent loads of pics to show us the good time they were having. We'll definitely book her again!”
About: Hi! My name is Lynn, and I've been raising/ caring for dogs & cats since I was a young child. I worked as a live in dog sitter for 2 years while in college. I’ve worked at an animal rescue shelter in Chicago & dog walking company in Baltimore for a combined 3 years. Independently I’ve cared for all kinds of animals all my life and I honestly just love being surrounded by them! They make me happy & I would like to think I do a pretty good job at keeping them happy as well. Thank you and hope to see you soon! I am currently doing pet care full time so whatever schedule we work out will be guaranteed from me. Let’s figure out what works :) By giving individual animals the care and attention they need. Unless they need space, which I can give them too haha. They will be fed, walked and/or played with to fit their needs and as you instruct. I have a fenced in backyard.
“Elisa was phenomenal . She not only took care of my dog but my home for 2 weeks . Trustworthy , clean and great communication . I wholeheartedly would recommend Elle for the job !!!”
“Antoinette was exceptional! We recently learned that our dog has a heart condition and we were worried to leave him alone for the weekend. Antoinette communicated with us very regularly, giving updates on when he ate, took his medication and what he was up to throughout the day. She genuinely seemed to care about him, even though they had just met. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable leaving him in her care and she left our home in immaculate condition. I highly recommend Antoinette to anyone looking for pet care; we absolutely would book again.”
“Sydney did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Murphy! It was clear he was very comfortable with her. She also gave updates throughout the vacation. Would definitely recommend Sydney!”
“Liz and Rich were so great with my 3 rescue dogs. I really appreciated having people I trust stay at our house and care for our dogs while we were away. They sent updates and pics the whole time. Even our nervous German shepherd played with them and looked so happy. Will happily book them again!”
About: Brand new to Rover but I have taken care of animals for years! I grew up with dogs and cats, also went to school for Animal Sciences, so I am comfortable around all types of animals. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love the chance to take them to the dog park to interact with other animals if needed! I have an equal love for cats as well so if you need me to drop-in for playtime or snuggles I'm here for it. I’ll treat your fur babies as my own and make sure they have a happy and safe experience! I have one doggo of my own, Tony, who is a chihuahua/pug mix, who loves going on walks and playing with other dogs. I work three 12-hours nights shifts a week as a nurse so majority of my days are available for check-ins, walks, home visits, or cuddles. I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. In my own home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable!
“We feel so lucky to have found Annah & Meara on Rover! Working with them has been so easy and such a pleasure! It was our first time leaving our pup with anyone, and we were a bit nervous. Annah & Meara understood our concerns and were so reassuring and kind. They took amazing care of our pup - so much so that we were worried she would prefer them to us when we got back :) The communication was regular and reliable while we were away and we got plenty of photos that really gave us piece of mind. I couldn't recommend them more highly!”
“Jessica was amazing. She made herself available on very short notice. She was very efficient, great communication, and I was able to focus totally at the conference as she was super responsible. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter.”
“Kevin was fantastic! He arrived early and showered my fur baby with love. He made sure to have all of his favorite treats on hand. I would not hesitate to hire him again. If you're unsure, let this review be confirmation that Kevin is top-notch. I felt at ease leaving my pet in his care.”
About: I’ve been around pets most of my life and have a deep understanding of their needs, body language, and personalities. I offer calm, attentive care tailored to each pet, whether it’s a playful puppy learning the basics or a senior pet needing extra patience, meds, or gentle walks. I’m experienced with basic training, crate routines, senior care, and making shy or anxious pets feel safe and comfortable. I treat every animal like family, with love, respect, and a focus on their well-being and happiness. Pet care fits naturally into my life right now. After going through cancer last year, I’m focused on healing and creating a life filled with joy and purpose. I’m currently not working a traditional job, so I have plenty of time, flexibility, and energy to dedicate to pets. Spending time with animals brings me peace, and I’d be honored to be a loving, dependable presence for your pet while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I create a calm, safe, and loving environment where animals can relax and feel secure. I respect each pet’s routine and preferences, and I always follow your instructions closely whether it’s about food, walks, medications, or cuddle limits! In your home, I treat the space with care and keep things clean and consistent so your pet stays comfortable. If I’m caring for pets in my home, they’ll have a peaceful, pet-friendly space with plenty of love, supervision, and attention. Safety and trust are everything to me and so is making sure your pet feels right at home, wherever they are.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brooklyn Park
Kemmesha was great with my two kitties! I’m always nervous leaving them with someone new but she made me feel very comfortable, gave timely responses and helped ease my anxiety. I will definitely love to work with her again and will highly recommend her for your pets needs!
Rubi met my cat Finn twice before taking him into her care for just over two weeks. She was very communicative and I could tell they bonded instantly. Any time I was worried while I was away, Rubi was quick to send photos and updates of Finn that put me at ease. Rubi is the only person I'll trust with Finn’s care going forward! 😊
Jamie was awesome! She stayed in our home to pet sit while we were out of town for a few days, and it worked really well. She is enthusiastic and her love for animals is obvious. Our animals look calm and happy and she left everything neat as a pin. She is also super responsive with messaging. I definitely recommend her to take care of your fur babies!
I can’t recommend Joey enough, he did an incredible job watching our dog and cat for an entire week while we were away. He took the best care of our animals, and gave us plenty of updates and pictures! There was never a single second we worried while being away - he treated our animals as if they were his own. Thank you so much again!
Jess was excellent! We had a last minute schedule change with another sitter, and Jess kindly jumped in on short notice to help us out. Our dog, Honey, can be slow to warm up with strangers, but between the very warm welcome he gave her at the meet & greet and the daily pictures Jess sent, he was a big fan of her! Definitely will be rebook Jess in the future!
Hannah looked after our dog and cat recently and did an amazing job! She consistently checked in with any questions, gave medication, and sent daily pictures which was really appreciated. When we got home the house was also in perfect condition. She took great care of our house, watered plants, and was very thoughtful about cleaning up. We definitely plan to have her watch our girls again!
Sarah is great!! I would definitely recommend her (and already have recommended her to friends). She stayed in our house and took care of our dog. She sent daily photo and video updates of him, and she took great care of the house while we were gone. She is very communicative. Thank you, Sarah!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Brooklyn Park is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $50 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.

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 Park 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 Park 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 Park 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 Park. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
