Anastasiia is a true gem. We hired her for a 5 night stay and she was super kind and flexible about extending two additional nights when we got our flights mixed up. She alap offered to come by a day or two before our departure to get the rundown and meet Smokey ahead of time which we really appreciated. Smokey is extremely shy around strangers but by day two they were already making a lot of progress and by the end of the week he was napping in her lap and sleeping on her bed. Her genuine care about his happiness and well-being really showed. She sent detailed updates with great photos and videos, followed all of our instructions (even with our plants), and went above and beyond as a house guest. The house was spotless when she left. We will be hiring her again for sure knowing our little boy is in the best hands!

Chuk is the sweetest, kindest person and took incredible care of my dog. He sent terrific photos and videos while I was away. He also administered meds (better than I can!) and I came home to a super happy, well taken care of and loved dog! If there were more than 5 stars, I would give that. I can't wait for Murray to have another playdate with Chuck!!

About: I differentiate myself by offering specialized skills like administering medication, handling medical emergencies, and providing personalized care tailored to each pet's needs. Building trust through expertise and professionalism is key in communicating effectively in order to deliver the best possible care. Additionally, my own experience with my dog has also granted me the ability to understand and meet such needs as well as the emotional needs of any pet, and to establish a trusted relationship with both pet and owner! I am currently a per diem part-time nanny to a family in New Jersey while attending online college classes; however, the alignment of both schedules allows me the flexibility to include my passion for pet care! I am flexible and available most weekdays between 9AM-2PM and weekends between 10AM-7PM. My work experience in animal welfare in clinical and boarding facilities allows me to apply what I have learned into what I can do. As an overnight supervisor in a doggy daycare environment, pets are cared for by providing a safe and stimulating environment, ensuring their well-being, and offering socialization opportunities with other dogs. This includes activities such as playtime, walks, feeding, and monitoring their behavior whereas in a clinical setting, caring for pets involves monitoring vital signs, administering treatments, conducting medical procedures, and providing post-operative care. It also includes maintaining cleanliness, following strict protocols, and ensuring a comfortable environment for the animals. Although not as extensive in daycare or clinical facilities, in-home pet care allows for individualized attention where needed as needed without the external stressors of a constantly changing environment. In-home care involves the basics of pet welfare and includes providing food, water, exercise, and companionship. Additionally, administering medication, following specific care instructions, and maintaining a safe environment are crucial, all of which I can provide based on my background and experience.

Juan is an amazing person. I am grateful to have him interact with my baby (Rick). He is really good with animals, very understanding, kind, responsible, friendly, and easy going. From the first time he interacted with my dog, I knew all will be well, because my dog was calm. Rick (my dog) is looking forward to future visit. I would highly recommend Juan.

Imani stayed at our house for a week to watch our 2 dogs and cat while we were out of town. She was great with the animals and it was clear that the dogs absolutely loved having her around. This was the first time we left our animals for an extended period of time but Imani was very considerate and went out of her way to make sure the dogs felt safe and comfortable, especially during 4th of July fireworks. We will definitely be using Imani again when we go out of town! Thank you!

Airella is absolutely amazing! We booked her time for a long weekend away to watch over our menagerie (2 dogs, tree frogs, fish and snake) and general home items, everything was flawless! From the beginning, she was very quick to respond with the initial request for a meet and greet, stopped by same-day that afternoon, and I immediately felt comfortable. Ariella is kind, courteous, upbeat and asked thorough questions. She was willing to be flexible with her daily schedule coming back and forth in the morning, afternoon and staying overnight as well. We received a photo the first night and constant updates each day on how things were going. Everything was safe and sound when we returned. Dogs were happy. Frogs, fish and snake as well :) Our mail and packages were brought in, and Airella was kind enough to offer unpacking our Hello Fresh grocery order. Needless to say, Ariella is a wonderful caretaker and I would highly recommend her to watch over your pets anytime. Thank you Ariella BIG time!!

About: I've got the " Mommy can I have A puppy?""experience. My daughter got a puppy when she was 5 years old for her birthday Guess who took care of it? Me. Then I took her trick or treating at 8 years old and instead of of coming back with candy, we came back home with a pit bull puppy cause this guy had a rope around his neck trying to get rid of it. Guess who took care of it? Me. Then 10 years ago she wanted another puppy. She ended up getting 2 , a sister and brother. She promised she would take care of of them and be responsible for them. Guess who took care of of them? Me. She's 30 years old now and nothing has changed. I'm still the sole care giver. Need I say more?

About: Hi! I’m Narsing, an experienced and dependable pet caregiver with 5+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and active while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has its own routine and personality, so I take time to learn their habits, energy level, feeding schedule, and comfort needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, calm companionship, or extra patience and attention, I adapt to what makes them happiest. I’m reliable, punctual, patient, and attentive to details. I can help with: • Daily walks • Feeding & fresh water • Playtime & companionship • Photo and video updates for peace of mind I’m excited to meet your furry family member and provide loving, trustworthy care! I have a very flexible schedule and am available anytime — mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’m happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever you need. Safety is always my top priority. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel cared for, happy and stress-free while you’re away

Destiny was an amazing sitter and house guest! Our old boy, Blue, loved her from the moment he met her. She stayed in our home for 16 days and not only took incredible care of Blue, sending regular updates and pics/videos, but she went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, watering plants and even cleaned the house before she left, leaving us a sweet note. She was communicative, professional, and has a high level of attention to detail. We will 100% be using her services again!

Jasmine was housesitting our greyhound while we were away for a long weekend. If you're looking for a kind and reliable caretaker, Jasmine is it. Her love for animals really shows and our dog fell enthusiastically in love with her right away. She was always very responsive and shared frequent photos with us while we were away. Looking forward to booking her for our next trip.

FAQs for House Sitting - Arverne

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Arverne on Rover is $83.25 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 18,438 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Arverne. 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 Arverne 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 Arverne 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 Arverne 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 Arverne. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
