“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!”
“Michelle was wonderful with my dog callie! Michelle was able to coax Callie out of her shyness and gave her the love and attention that she needs. Michelle was communicative and responsive and regularly sent me pics of my baby. I'd definitely rebook her again?”
“Alexandra did a great job with our 17 year old cat. We were out of town for 3 days and came back to a very clean living space and a very content Isis. Would definitely recommend Alexandra for overnight sitting with your pet!”
“Karla and Shaun watched our Dobie Chief last weekend for a house sitting booking. Wow, they’re the BEST!! Super down to earth, kind and easy going people. Karla was in touch with lots of updates and pictures along the way. I felt completely at ease with them staying in my home and taking care of our big boy. Do not hesitate to book their services. They’re fantastic people!”

“This is the second time we’ve had Valeria watch Gyro and Charlie. We are so happy with her care for the boys. Her communication is fantastic and I felt completely at ease knowing she was caring for my two senior dogs.”
“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!!”
“Imani was an excellent dog sitter - staying over witb my pup while I was out of town at my place. I got frequent updates and I came home to a happy pup and clean apartment. Will absolutely book again! Thanks Imani!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to my three rescue girls they are very tough background and one has special needs and his elderly so I have hands-on experience with dogs who need extra patience medication and lots of love I’m currently retired and have nothing but love for animals, so I’ll be caring for them with the upmost. Your pet will be in its own room by itself a nice environment, music heat fan AC whatever is necessary. properly taken care of until you come home Like I said, I’m currently retired and love spending time with my own pets, so I’ll treat your pets just like mine. They will be safe they will be secluded from any other pets in the house they’ll take walks daily and play in the yard. I keep all pets separate, so if you have one or two pets, they’ll be together, they’ll be isolated from any other pet in the house, including my own.
“Meka is the BEST. She is an angel and so happy we found such a wonderful sitter for our golden retriever Franklin. She helped us out last minute in a pinch too. We could not ask for a better and more trustworthy and kind person to love Franklin while we are away!”
“Gabby is the beeeeest! Do yourself a favor and book her! She's the sweetest, most communicative sitter I've had. My girl and house were just as I left them. Will definitely book her again!!”
“Kristen took great care of our 18 month old labradoodle for 10 days. On our initial meeting, my wife and I loved his easy-going but responsible attitude and our girl took to him right away without any hesitation. A big bonus was Kristen's proximity to Prospect Park. We received lots of photos during her stay and Kristen was super fast replying to any questions we had. Kristen is definitely going to be our go-to sitter on our nights out and when we're out of town.”
“Eleni did a wonderful job sitting with our Samoyed puppy Willow, who can be a handful at times. She kept us updated throughout the stays and did a great job keeping Willow’s routine. Highly recommend!”
“Dan was able to help on very short notice. My dog is older and there was not a lot required but she liked Dan and was affection with them which is not always the case.”
“Jasmine is wonderful with our senior dog. She knows how to administer medicines, give lots of attention, and follow any written instructions. She's also a good communicator, prompt with her arrivals, and flexible with her duties.”
About: Animal care is my biggest passion! I’ve recently graduated college with a degree in biology, where I often volunteered at shelters to gain experience. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, fish & even birds for as long as I can remember. I don’t think I’ve ever met a pet that doesn’t like me, so I’m very excited to help those in my community with dedicated care! In a house with 4 cats and 2 dogs I’m constantly caring for pets of all ages! Currently I work part time, so I’m available most hours of the evening during the week and some weekends. Early mornings I could also do. I am ready for anything :) My first course of action with a dog I’m caring for is always to take them for a walk or let them out as it might’ve been hours since they’ve last been out. I’ll try for longer walks to use up all their energy til the next time I pop in. Then it’s time for food and water refill and play time/enrichment time where I try to get the last of their energy out. If I’m watching cats, I’ll feed them first and as they eat is my time to clean out the litter box. Cats also need tons of play time, so after they eat I’ll entertain them too. The hardest part for me is always leaving them.
About: What sets me apart is my mix of professional experience and love for animals. I worked at a grooming facility for 2 years, where I learned how to safely handle dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, keep them comfortable, and pay attention to little details that matter for their care. This past summer, I also had the chance to travel to Australia, where I got to experience wildlife and animal care from a whole new perspective. That experience strengthened my passion for working with animals and taught me how important patience and consistency are in giving them the best care. Whether it’s energetic puppies or older dogs that need extra gentleness, I bring both skill and heart to every pet I look after. I am a 4th year part-time Pre-Vet student at Tuskegee University so I am not available on Mondays and Thursday's. But I am available every other day in the afternoon and most mornings! I live in a pet-friendly apartment with two other pre-vet students, so your baby will always be surrounded by animal lovers! There’s plenty of space for walks and play, plus access to a pool if your pup enjoys swimming 🤿. And for cats, I create enrichment activities or give them cozy spots to relax 😎. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets stay safe, happy, and on their usual routine with plenty of love and attention.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arverne
Anastasiia was wonderful!! We booked her only a few days before we had to leave, and she still carved out extra time before her visit to FaceTime with us and get to know Etta's routine. She stayed with Etta for the day into the evening, and we couldn't have asked for better care. Etta is anxious and also very stubborn, especially about going outside, but Anastasiia was so patient with her and still managed to get her out for a walk/potty breaks. I felt completely at ease knowing Anastasiia was there. We'd happily book her again!
Terri took amazing care of Elie while I was away. She kept my home exactly as I left it, and Elie was calm, happy, and clearly loved her. She checked in with me every day, sent regular photos, and always responded quickly, which made the whole trip completely stress‑free. Terri was reliable, thoughtful, and great with dogs. I’d absolutely book her again.
Karla and Shaun watched our Dobie Chief last weekend for a house sitting booking. Wow, they’re the BEST!! Super down to earth, kind and easy going people. Karla was in touch with lots of updates and pictures along the way. I felt completely at ease with them staying in my home and taking care of our big boy. Do not hesitate to book their services. They’re fantastic people!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
