About: We have always had pets in the house, so taking care of them like they are family comes naturally. I currently have a dog, so understand the needs that come with ownership and will respect you and your animals the same way. I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, spiders, rabbits, fish, and reptiles, so whatever your friend, I can help. I have reasonable rates and stay in your home so the animals don't have to get accustomed to a new environment, lessening the stress on them. I have cared for elder dogs and puppies alike so will clean up after them as required. If all you need is a walker, I can help, too. I have to walk my dog a good distance to keep her calm (2+ miles), so I have sturdy shoes and am prepared to use them. I hope I can be of assistance to you! I do currently have a full time job and I may have errands to run or meet someone for dinner, but the majority of my time can be spent taking care of and just being with your pets, if that is required. I do prefer to stay in the house if you are a drive to cut down on the back and forth. But I normally bring my own food and clean as I go. My goal is to leave the place so you never knew I was there, except that your pet is well taken care of. I like to meet with the animals first to make sure we are compatible. After that, I am there to keep your routines in tact. If your dog needs walked or fed at specific times, I'm on it. If you cat requires 10 minutes of chin scratches before bed, I got you. If you need me to grab a delivery that happens while I'm there, absolutely. I want you to feel 100% confident your pet and house will be cared for. If I'm just walking for you and you have been working on a skill from your dog, let me know. I've put both my dogs through training and understand the importance of consistency.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Julia. She truly cared for our pets like they were her own family. Not only is she incredibly professional and trustworthy, but her communication kept us at ease the entire time. Julia has such a great character and is a natural with animals. We’ll definitely be booking her again—she’s awesome!

About: What sets me apart is that I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my whole life—dogs, cats, fish, and even the occasional bunny. Because of this, I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. I have experience walking energetic dogs, caring for playful puppies, and making sure senior pets feel safe and comfortable. My background helps me tune in to each pet’s unique routine and give them the same love and attention they’d get from you. I currently work full-time, but I have some flexibility during the week with enough notice. I hope to be working from home full-time soon, which will allow me to be home more often and more readily available to help care for your fur babies during special events, last-minute trips, or whenever you need an extra hand! As of right now, I have a domestic long-haired cat and a puppy who is a Mastiff-Pit mix. I’ve had my cat, Garrett, since he was born and my puppy, Storm, since April of this year. They are getting along much better now, although Garrett will occasionally swat at Storm when he gets a little too playful—there have never been any fights between them. Storm is very sweet, social, and full of energy, and he loves playing with other dogs. I also have extra rooms available to give visiting dogs their own space when they need a break, some quiet time, or simply a little room to themselves.

Bree is so much more than a dog sitter. Had big storms come through that knocked tree limbs all over the place, including my roof. Bree took a ton of pics and shared with me so I could accurately speak with my insurance. Aside from that, my pups were very well taken care of. Bree kept me updated on when she was leaving, how the dogs were doing, play time, and sent a TON of pictures throughout the week that were sent to me. My dogs seemed very happy and were worn out when I got home. I will definitely be booking with Bree again as travel needs arise for work. If youre reading reviews on Rover and not sure how to start this process (like i was), start with Bree. She came to my house for a couple hours prior to the requested dates, met the pups and asked a ton of questions about their personalities. I honestly probably overdid it with the details, but it honestly feels like she remembered the details. Stop scrolling through the reviews and reach out to Bree. 10/10 will book again.

Mariah was amazing! She came to our house and watched our 2 dogs for 4 days and did a fantastic job! I got daily updates as well as pictures letting me know how the dogs were doing the whole time. She played outside with them and spent quality time with them! I knew they were in good hands while I was away. She listened to all of the directions and left our house very clean! I highly recommend her and will be using her again for future bookings! If you are looking for someone reliable and trustworthy, book with Mariah!

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover with 5 years of experience caring for pets, including pet sitting for family, friends, and people in my community. I’ve always been someone others can trust with their pets, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality, quirks, and routines. 💗 I have pets of my own, so I understand how hard it can be to leave your fur babies with someone else. When they’re in my care, I treat them like my own with plenty of love, attention, playtime, cuddles, and the (not so) occasional treat! 💗 I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, including pets with special needs. I have experience administering oral and injectable medications to both dogs and cats and am comfortable following detailed instructions and maintaining their normal routines. 💗 I also always like to do a meet & greet before accepting a booking. It gives me a chance to meet you and your pet, learn their routine, go over any special instructions, and make sure everyone feels comfortable. 💗 I’m also naturally a clean and tidy person and am great about cleaning up after myself. I’ll take care of your home just as thoughtfully as I take care of your pets and will always do my best to leave things as clean, or even cleaner, than I found them. 💗 I do unfortunately work full time, but my schedule varies throughout the week and I only work 3/7 days a week. Other than that, I’m a free woman willing to watch your fur babies for you. I am great with communication so we can always discuss availability! On the days I do work I get off at 6:30 PM and I’m free for the rest of the night for drop-in’s, walks, or an overnight stay! I will always respect your wishes in your home. I’ve always been a respectful and trustworthy person, I clean up after myself (and any fur babies), I’ll even leave the place better than I found it. When I’m caring for your pet, all my focus is on them and their needs, I keep a tight ship around here! I love the idea of pet sitting in your pets home because it keeps them comfortable in their own safe environment and stick to the routines that they are used to.

About: I’ve had dogs as long as I can remember. They are a great joy to my life, but I understand the responsibility that comes with them. I’ve owned all different kinds of dogs, big and small, young and old. So, I also understand the special attention and care that some dogs need. With me your dogs will receive the proper care they need from walks and playtime to comfort to safety. You can rest assured that your dog will be happy and safe with me! I’m currently a full time college student, but other than during class time (Monday-Thursday) I am free to pet-sit. I only have a couple classes each day, so the longest your pet will be alone is a few hours at a time. I will provide a great environment for your pet by make sure he/she gets proper nutrition, playtime, walks, and cuddles! I can make sure your pet receives proper care with specific feeding instructions and exercise/playtime regimens.

I was incredibly hesitant to use another sitter from Rover after a terrible experience the last time but I took a chance with Brandi & Luis because the second I met them during our meet and greet I felt like they would be different and I was right! They were the BEST decision I made for my two doggies! They came right in and actually said hi to my dogs and showed so much interest in them and seemed to love them instantly! They worked with my schedule to do exactly what I needed and stayed at my house the entirety of my time away. I used them over the Fourth of July and one of my dogs does not do well with fireworks so I felt awful leaving her but she couldn’t have been in better hands! They stayed with her the entire time and followed my instructions down to every last word. They sent frequent updates with pictures and there was not a second I was worried my doggies weren’t being loved! They spent their time relaxing on the couch with them just like they do when we’re home and I know they took the absolute best care of them! I can’t wait to use them again if needed and I know my dogs will be THRILLED to see them again. I can’t speak highly enough, this was without a doubt the best Rover experience I’ve had and now I don’t ever want to use another dogsitter because I don’t think you can do better than Brandi & Luis!

Our typical dog sitter was busy for our weekend trip (we waited too long to reach out, that was our bad.) so I had to find someone else we could trust. Tracy has tons of positive reviews and was super quick getting back to me. The doggies were well taken care of. This was perfect for our short trip. Letting anyone into your home can be a little sketchy, but I never felt nervous on this trip. I definitely recommend.

About: I have been caring for stray animals daily, especially stray cats that I regularly feed and look after. Over time, I’ve developed strong bonds with them through patience, trust, and consistency, and I’ve learned to understand their individual personalities and needs. I also grew up with a lot of animals in my surrounding which is how I became to love them and care for them. I’m working 9-5 but I have plenty of free time outside of work! I’m available after 5 PM on Thursdays and Fridays, and I’m completely flexible and available anytime on weekends. I’d be happy to work around your schedule and give your pets the time and attention they deserve! 🐾 I provide care in the client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure their space stays clean and safe, and I’m happy to send updates and pictures so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Most importantly, I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for.

Rebecca was very communicative and sent me updates at least twice a day with pictures. My cats are old and one hasn’t been doing very well, and she made sure I knew how he was doing and we were able to troubleshoot together if he seemed like he was unwell. The cats love having someone in the house and so I really appreciate her staying here. Would rebook!

We had a meet and greet and that went very very well. We found we had a lot of things in common and our dog Sammy really warmed up to them quickly. We just had a good vibe that they were gonna take really great care of our house and our fur baby.! They also provided excellent communication throughout each day by sending texts, pictures and videos! And when we arrived home, the house was immaculate. Everything looked so nice and welcoming after being gone for a whole week. We would highly recommend them and we’ll definitely use them again. Thank you both so much for your care with Sammy. 🥰🥰🥰

FAQs for House Sitting - Brookside Estates

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Brookside Estates on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 237 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brookside Estates. 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 Brookside Estates 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 Brookside Estates 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 Brookside Estates 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.

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

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
