“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 🙂”
“This was our second time using Katie. We got great photos every day, she brought mail and packages in. She even did our recycling cans for us. House looked amazing when we got home, and we knew our dog and cat were well loved.”
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.
“Emily was wonderful with my pug puppy, Peaches! She watched her for the weekend, and I felt at ease knowing she was in great hands. Emily was communicative, prompt, and kept me updated with messages and photos. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. Would definitely book again!”
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?

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 had a wonderful, stress-free experience with Samantha during her week-long stay in our home. She took great care of our dog and he was completely himself when we returned. Our home was also well cared for and very clean when we returned. She kept us updated regularly with photos and messages, and we had peace of mind while traveling. Samantha is reliable, trustworthy, friendly, and professional. We would absolutely book her again!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. As a proud cat parent to my own cat, I know how much peace of mind matters when you have to leave your furry family members behind. While I'm new to the Rover platform, pet care is second nature to me—back in college, I regularly helped my classmates with pet sitting, looking after both dogs and cats. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk or your cat needs some gentle loving attention, I treat every pet with the exact same care and devotion I give my own. Because I work remotely and part-time from home, my schedule is wonderfully flexible. I am basically free and can easily find time for your pet any day or any time. Whether it's a mid-day walk or constant companionship, we can easily figure out a routine that works best for you and your pet! Safety and trust are my absolute top priorities. Whether I am dropping in for pet sitting or taking your dog out for an engaging walk, I treat every pet with the utmost care and respect. As an experienced cat owner myself, I understand how crucial it is to respect an animal's boundaries, safety needs, and home environment. You can count on me for clear communication, reliable updates, and treating your home and pets like my own.
“Elisa kept Big Daddy (and our house) well cared for during our week long trip. Big D was super chill upon our return, always a sign that he got plenty of attention and walks while we were away. We look forward to booking with her again soon!”
“Jessica has been everything we’ve been looking for in a sitter! Our dog immediately warmed up to Jessica and we knew she would be in good hands. Jessica is attentive to all her needs, especially on walks where our dog can be the most difficult. Highly recommend Jessica!!”
“Brianna was the perfect dog sitter. She sent many many updates pictures which I loved. She took care of my pup like she was her own and even alerted me quickly when she thought something may be wrong with her. I would absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone and everyone!”
“Briana was great with our dogs! She was very responsive and reliable. She followed through on all our communications. She couldn’t have been easier to work with! Will definitely use again!”
“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.”
“Jennifer was our first Rover experience and it was absolutely great! The communication was great, she sent pics, and the house was in the same order when we got back the next day! I would highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Note: I live in downtown Baltimore but work in Arlington, VA so housesits in DC/Virginia are ideal. Hi! I’m Serena, a dependable and experienced pet sitter with over 10 years of experience caring for pets and homes. I grew up in a home full of cats and 1 dog and was a proud cat owner for many years. Since then, caring for other people’s pets has become something I truly enjoy. Friends, neighbors, and travelers regularly trust me to care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that pets are family, and I always work to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their own environment. My clients often tell me they appreciate my communication while they’re away. I make sure to send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can see how your pets are doing and feel confident they’re in good hands. Outside of pet sitting, I’m an avid gardener with over 30 indoor plants and a vegetable garden. Because of this, I’m also very comfortable caring for plants and maintaining a home while you’re traveling. At the moment, I am available full-time some weekdays during the day as well as some weekends. Please send me your dates, and I will check my calendar. My Care Style My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. During visits I focus on: • feeding and fresh water • litter box or bathroom breaks • playtime and attention • monitoring behavior and wellbeing • maintaining routines your pet is used to I’m also happy to help with small household tasks such as watering plants, bringing in mail, and keeping your home tidy while you’re away.
“Our dog warmed right up to Ashley! She took such great care of our complicated guy, and we appreciate how kind and communicative she is. We will definitely be counting on her again.”
“As always, Taylor was great in both house-sitting and caring for our dog. All of our expectations were met and often surpassed in the level of care and activity. We received regular updates, pictures, and videos of our dog having the time of her life with Taylor and his fiancée, Jasmine. We will definitely be booking again with Taylor!”
“Jennifer was fantastic with our pups! We felt completely comfortable having her stay in our home. It was amazing to get away without worrying about our boys. She played and cuddled with them. Sent lots of pics and updates too. Will definitely book her again.”
“Isabel was wonderful! She is communicative, proactive, and always on time. Isabel walked our dog a couple of times a day and was attentive to his needs while we were away. Our dog was very calm and enjoyed his time with Isabel.”

Kathryn was great taking care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats at our house, which can be a handful. We really appreciated pictures & communications that were sent while we were away. The animals seemed very calm and relaxed upon our return. I would highly recommend her for pet care.
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!
Elizabeth took great care of our two Germans shepherds, two gerbils, and one hamster, while we were on vacation. We came home to very happy pets and a clean home. Elizabeth has a very kind, warm energy and our pets instantly loved her (even our easily anxious puppy), and she took great care of our older dog with medical issues.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Brooklyn Park is $39 per night as of October 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
