“Amber was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Google! She was perfectly on time and followed all of our care instructions to the letter. I really appreciated the constant stream of photo updates throughout the day—it gave me such peace of mind knowing he was being walked and loved on so well. Highly recommended”
“I would definitely recommend Ross! He made our girl feel right at home, and kept the same routine as we would. Provided us with plenty of photo updates as well. She enjoyed all her walks and extra treats.”
“Brandon is an amazing dog sitter! He treated all of our dogs like his own and was super dependable. He came over and met the dogs prior to his first stay with them and got along great. He isn’t afraid of asking questions and is very kind. We will definitely be using him again.”
“Lauren was great taking care of out young, energetic, and silly German Shorthaired Pointer. She showed up on time, followed instructions, asked questions when needed, and sent daily updates with photos. She also left the house organized and clean. We can tell our dog likes her too 🥰🐾🐕🦺”
About: I have had dogs all my life. I currently have two golden retrievers who run my world! One is 4 and the other is 8 months old. I am available to stay at your house overnight and during long periods of time. I am a full time ultrasound student in Louisville but my school schedule is very flexible so I can come home to let the pups out multiple times per day! I am currently a full-time sonography student in Louisville, but my class schedule is very flexible. I am also available all weekends. I am able to stay overnight and take your pups out multiple times per day. I have two golden retrievers of my own (they are cared for by my dad when I am gone so they would not be coming with me) and they are SPOILED rotten. I will make sure your pup is the same! I am very active and love going on walks so that would be a part of our daily activities.
“Andrea was absolutely wonderful and I couldn’t ask for a better person to watch over my precious baby… And she did this with little notice so if you’re looking for someone amazing , flexible please reach out to Andrea for any pet needs… Sugar and I thank you and appreciate you so much… We will use you again”
“Laura cared for my two large and high-need dogs for 10 days in my home. Half of those days, I did not have cell service. She communicated regularly and dealt with odd things that came up without my assistance. She left my home spotless, and my dogs were peaceful and calm when I returned home! I feel lucky to have found Laura!”
About: I’ve had animals all my life! From energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC. I've been pet sitting since I could drive, and caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or keeping up with special diets or meds, I treat every pet like family. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including senior care. I'm reliable, attentive, and truly love what I do! Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities. As a student, I have a flexible schedule that works great for pet care. Mornings, evenings, and weekends are my most available times, but I can also include pet care during breaks in my day if we schedule in advance. Whether your pet needs a walk, some playtime, or overnight care, I’m happy to work around your routine to make sure they’re happy and well cared for. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for your furry friend to relax and feel at home. I love taking pets to nearby parks and nature trails for safe, fun walks and fresh air. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where they feel secure. I always follow any specific routines, feeding instructions, and safety guidelines to ensure your pet is happy, healthy, and well looked after.
“Sarah provided amazing care. Our cats were in good hands with Sarah. She administered food and medicine according to our preferred schedule. She went above and beyond in tending to our house while we were away. We (and the cats) are happy to have met Sarah! We will be requesting her again for future stays.”
“Dawn was amazing! This was my first time ever using a pet sitter and I was a little anxious, I was worried my dogs might not behave perfectly and I was generally nervous about someone coming and staying at my house while I was not there. Dawn is an exceptional person and when we met up for a meet and greet, I told her about my fears and she was very understanding. She helped to settle my concerns and she even came over to my home a little early to meet with my animals and to allow them to acclimate to her presence. THEN, she proceeded to send me pictures and updates on my babies while I was away. 10/10. Absolutely adore her. My babies loved her and I will be using her services in the future, if I have to go somewhere and I can’t take my animals.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brooks
I cannot recommend Emilee enough! From the moment we met, it was clear they truly love and understand dogs. My pup can be a little shy at first, but Emilee was so patient and kind — they bonded in no time. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates, adorable photos, and even a few videos that totally put my mind at ease. It was obvious my dog was not only well cared for but genuinely happy and loved. Walks, playtime, cuddles — Emilee went above and beyond. When I picked my dog up, they were calm, content, and honestly didn’t want to leave! It’s such a relief knowing I now have someone I completely trust to take care of my fur baby whenever I’m away. Thank you again, Emilee! You're truly amazing. 🐶❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 780 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brooks. 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 Brooks 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 Brooks 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 Brooks 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
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.

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.
