“Ariella provides excellent cat sitting services. She is 100 percent reliable. She takes time to enjoy each cat- and understands their individual personalities and needs. The cats are very happy when she comes over- even greeting her on the stairs. We have been using Ariella for the past couple of years and will continue to use her. Highly recommend her if you want peace of mind.”

About: I've always had pets growing up and have a lot of pet sitting experience for friends and neighbors. Over the last 9 years, I have been lucky to care for my own dog, Luna who has taught me how to be a loving dog caretaker. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I believe most healthy dogs should get lots of outside time and I love to take dogs on a long beach walk. I love to walk dogs on the beach or in nearby parks. I always keep dogs on leash and stay alert with each dog. I take cute photos to show you what your pup has been up to on their walk.

About: I have had pets, or as I say friends my whole life. For the past 22 years, I have taken care of my own as an adult. I have had both cats and dogs both at the same time. I treat all of my friends like family. I am a dedicated animal lover. I live in Rockaway beach. I am available on Thursdays and Fridays and most weekends. I am available Monday-Wednesday after 6PM. I am very flexible as well to accommodate special requests. I do not have a fenced in yard, however, I take my dog Tina for long walks around Rockaway, on the beach off season, and to the dog run on Shore.

About: I’ve been caring for my two Huskies and my neighbors dogs for years, giving me hands-on experience with energetic, intelligent dogs that require regular exercise, structure, and attention. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing safe and enjoyable walks, and making sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for. I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I give my own. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine since I care for my two Huskies every day. On weekdays, I’m available for evening walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and can provide longer walks, daytime care, and pet sitting. I always make time to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. My priority is always your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications (if needed), and any special preferences. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe environment. During walks, I stay alert, use secure leashes, and avoid unsafe situations. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.

“Eleni was amazing. I had to leave for an extended time for Christmas and she came by and took care of my cat. My cat needs all the attention in the world and Eleni gave her just that. She updated me everyday and even showed up on the holiday. I'm super protective of my cat and I'd recommend Eleni to anyone.”

I live in a safe and gated community with a large stretch of grass and a small trail. I currently do not own any pets but welcome them in my home.

“Minyon us SUPER accommodating. Even with my hectic schedule and several emergencies at once, she understood and gave me grace through every step of the process. When my pups met her, they instantly fell in love with her. She sent videos and pictures every visit and made sure to take them on nice long walks... which my pups love. I would ABSOLUTELY book with Minyon again!”

About: I've always had animals growing up and I loved taking care of them. I have 10 years of experience taking care of my own pets. I made sure they were fed a balanced diet, they had their daily walks, they were upto date with their vaccines. I also made sure that they were well-groomed, given lots of love and attention and spoiled rotten with toys! I currently work full time but I am available anytime after 3pm to pet sit the little cuties and I am free anytime on the weekends. I do not have yard space but I am close to the beach and there are a few parks to take the dogs for a walk!

About: I'm a trusted companion for your pets when you can't be there. What makes me different? I treat every animal as if they were my own, paying close attention to their unique personalities, routines, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks or just needs a quiet companion, I tailor every visit to what makes them feel safe. With regular updates, photos, and a calm, nurture presence, I offer more than just a service- I give piece of mind. I currently work full-time during the week, so I'm only available for per sitting/ walking on the weekends (Saturday and Sunday). If you're looking for someone loving and attentive for your pet while you're away, I'd be happy to assist! When I stay in your home or am walking your pet, safety is my priority. I make sure your pets feel safe, loved and at ease. I stick closely to their normal routines- whether that's morning walks, mealtime rituals, or evening cuddles. I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping things tidy and secure while you're away. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax.

About: I've been caring for animals in different capacities for at least a year, and being a cat owner myself has shown me how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Our pets are family, and they deserve to be treated with the same love and attention we give them ourselves. I have experience walking dogs, as well as caring for cats with specific needs. Specifically, with my own cat who has kidney disease and eats prescription food. Additionally, I have experience administering medication (through food as well as by syringe). My goal is to provide every pet with compassionate, reliable care while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family members are in good hands. My schedule is currently very flexible for the summer, allowing me to accommodate a variety of booking needs. Before any service, I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet's routine and needs, and ensure we're a great fit. I want you to feel completely comfortable and confident that your pet will be in caring, reliable hands. When your pet is with me, they'll receive plenty of affection, playtime, and personalized care based on their needs and personality. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated, so you can expect regular messages, along with adorable photos and videos, to let you know how your furry friend is doing and how their walk or visit is going.

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. I have cared for dogs ranging from pit bulls to yorkies. I love all dogs, any size. I have taken care of dogs that require medication for medical issues like joint issues and epilepsy. Friends have relied on me to care for their animals. whenever they go away. I currently live with 3 dogs, a corgi, a husky, and a maltese. I walk my own dogs 2x a day and play with them every day. I work on weekends so weekdays are dedicated to pet care. I play and walk my pets. I have a backyard so I tend to run around with my dogs everyday. Each of my own dogs requires specific needs so I cater to them. One of my dogs has epilepsy so I must give him medication twice daily and he requires a lot of attention.

About: I grew up with pets my whole life. I’m a dog mom to a maltipoo named Norman! He is 10 years young. Norman has some disabilities due to a back injury a few years ago and currently in heath failure :( so needless to say I understand and don’t mind pets with some extra needs. I will treat your fur babies like my own because I know how stressful it’s leaving them when you need to work or attend to other things. I currently work full time and live close by to work so I come home during breaks. I have a flexible schedule due to my own pet care needs. I have a shared yard that pets can play fetch or run around! A lovely neighborhood to go on walks as well. Lots ok toys for your furr babies too.

I can’t say enough good things about Rachel and the care she provides for our cats. She keeps great track of all the medications we need to give them, and handles changes so well. Our cats always do well when Rachel cares for them, because of her consistency and the extra love and attention she gives them.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Arverne

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Arverne is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $56 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 26,594 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Arverne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
