“After a late cancellation by our usual dog sitter for reasons beyond her control my son suggested Rover. In doing a search I found Nina who was close to us and thankfully available. We have a 4 year old German shepherd who is somewhat protective of my wife and I as well as our home; we also have a 1 year old Golden Retriever who is exceptionally shy. During the meet and greet it took all of 2 minutes for our shepherd to walk around the house licking Nina’s hand, Nina is a natural with dogs. It took a little longer for our shy little golden girl to warm up to her but it came through time and positive attention. Nina provided us with regular updates and excellent care for our beloved pups, we couldn’t ask for any more! On our return home the house was immaculate, the dogs were happy and well cared for, Nina was a star and set the bar so high that in the future we’ll be making our vacation plans around Nina’s availability! Rover provided us with a great communication platform and peace of mind for our dog’s care in our absence. Do we recommend Rover: Yes, do we recommend Nina: absolutely!!”
“Sarah did a wonderful job watching my two dogs while I was gone for the weekend. From our initial Meet & Greet, to the regular text and photo updates, to my joyful arrival back home, I felt very confident and comfortable leaving my dogs in Sarah’s care and highly recommend her to fellow pet owners in need of a responsible, diligent and caring sitter.”
“Delen was so great with our cat and dog! It was our first time leaving our pets with a stranger and she exceeded our expectation's. She house sat for us for 4 days and did an excellent job- we came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. We will definitely book her again in the future. Thank you Delen! 😊”
“We were more than satisfied with our choice of Tiffany for watching our cat Lucky for 3 weeks. We were concerned that Lucky might not accept Tiffany once he realized we were gone. That fear was short lived when she shared a photo of him sleeping on her lap the first day. Lucky is a high maintenance cat because he is an indoor/outdoor cat, so more work for Tiffany was required. We are so glad that she was available for that time slot and agreed to stay in our home. We highly recommend Tiffany.”
“Christina is truly the sweetest and most caring pet sitter! She has such a genuine love for animals and it really shines through from the moment we met and throughout the entire pet sitting stay. She kept us informed with lots of cute pictures and videos throughout the weekend, and was really on top of the specific needs for our senior dog.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and currently have 3! I have 2 dogs, Bailey and Gomez. Gomez is a special dog who is very reactive, which has allowed me to gain experience dealing with difficult dogs, especially on walks! I’ve been dog sitting/walking for friends and family for years and have worked with all shapes and sizes- loving every single one the same! I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes, and understand that each dog has its own needs based on their personalities and health. I promise to give your furry friends all the love and attention they deserve ☺️ I run a small business from home which allows me to have an open schedule for pet care in all varieties. This allows me to have availability to fit your schedule and needs! I will always follow instructions given to me by the pet owner, as each situation is as unique as the individual pet(s). Your fur babies will always be in a safe, caring, patient environment when in my care.
“Forest was great with our pup Sherlock! He stayed with him in our house during the Christmas holidays for 8 days. We stayed in touch during the stay with texts and he sent some pictures. When we came back the dog was happy and our house clean, we couldn’t ask for more! Thank you, Forest!”
“We can’t say enough great things about Jason and the wonderful care he provided for our energetic 3 year-old pittie. Jason is extremely professional and responsive, and he took excellent care of Leo (and our home) during his stay. He provided frequent updates and pictures, which we really appreciated. We felt all the more comfortable leaving Leo in Jason’s given his medical training and his obvious love of dogs. We look forward to booking with Jason again soon!”
“Marie was wonderful with Bailey. We were away for long stretch and Maria sent many photos and videos which helped being away less stressful. Maria was very communitive and respectful. I would not hesitate to ask Maria to take care of our Bailey.”
About: I’ve always been a dog lover and have taken care of neighbors dogs, including dog walking since I was a little kid. I love being outside as I am a runner and absolute love having playtime with dogs outside! I just graduated from college and am working this job until my full time job begins this fall. So I will have plenty of time on my hands to hang out and be attentive. I usually wake up early in the morning to run so can take care of early riser dogs as well! I have had much experience taking care of dogs and therefore am able to handle different dog personalities and preferences. I am comfortable around dogs who love constant attention as well as dogs that would rather keep to themselves.
“Barb watched our dog and cat over the weekend. She was communicative and friendly. Barb has a genuine personality and love for pets. Everyone needs a Barb in their life! She did an amazing job taking care of the pets and our house.”
“Maria was great with our two Aussies! She sent updates including photos each day, played fetch with them outside, and left our house immaculate. She even won over our nervous pup. We are also so appreciative to her for allowing us to add an extra night super last-minute without any complaints. I would highly recommend her for overnight stays with your pups! :)”
About: I was raised on a small family farm, and have cared for goats, chickens, ducks, pigs, and more while a part of that. As a child and teenager, I trained dogs through my local 4-H program, and later on started petsitting for family friends. I've cared for puppies, senior dogs, cats, chickens, cows, pigs, goats, turtles, geese, canaries, ducks, and so many others, and I'm always willing to learn something new! I work full-time, night shifts during the week and mornings on weekends, but I'm typically only gone 8 hours max, so there's still plenty of time for me to provide plenty of care and attention to the pets! I typically stay overnight, and will either crate the pets if needed, or let them sleep with me, I wake up with them and spend my day hanging out with them, playing or just relaxing. I do my best to care for each pet as their owner would, to help minimize stress.

“Tatyjana was fantastic. She gave us daily updates and was quick to respond. It was obvious she pampered the dogs while she was here; she even got them to tolerate nail trimmings! When we got home, the dogs were happy, the house was clean, the chickens were taken care of. We will absolutely hire her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Spring Brook
Our cat is very skittish around anyone new and Katherine was able to coax Sadie out of hiding. We really appreciated the updates , pictures and movie clips. She was also able to apply a topical medication daily which gave us peace of mind while away. As an added bonus we came home to a freshly run dishwasher and laundered linens! I highly recommend Katherine!

FAQs for House Sitting - Spring Brook
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 562 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Spring Brook. 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 Spring Brook 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 Spring Brook 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 Spring Brook 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.
