About: Hi there! I’m Barbara, a devoted animal lover and proud pet mom to two wonderful companions: Frida, an energetic brown tabby; Vesper, a sweet and cuddly grey cat. I live in Astoria and have a deep appreciation for the trust and care it takes to look after someone’s beloved pet. With a 9-5 work schedule Monday through Friday, I’m available for evening and weekend care. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll, playful interaction, or simply offering companionship I ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Creating a secure and trusting environment is my top priority, and I pride myself on being attentive and proactive in meeting each pet’s unique needs. I’m experienced with safely crating pets, administering medication as needed, adhering to vet-recommended diets, and providing engaging playtime both indoors and outdoors. Every pet is unique, and I take the time to understand and accommodate their individual needs.
“Rebecca was exceptional! Friendly, communicative, and went above and beyond, caring for my cats and home. Will definitely be booking her again.”
“Tiffany did an amazing job!! It was such a huge weight lifted off our shoulders knowing that our two kitties were taken care of while we traveled. Tiffany provided great updates and pictures during each drop in. Will definitely be returning to Tiffany again in the future!!”
“Kaili did a fantastic job checking on my two young cats. She was able to win Monte over with a treat. She made sure she knew where everything was that they needed and asked great questions about their behavior.”
“Deandra took such great care of my 2 cats, Felix and Simba. She was super responsive, always on time, and took such great pictures of them, which gave me so much reassurance that they were being well cared for. Simba is very shy and doesn’t always take right away to new people so I was thrilled to see him coming out from the first visit for food and play time.”
“So appreciative to Katherine for jumping in last minute to take care of our cat. She was prompt, professional and super helpful and communicative. Thank you for taking such great care of our cat and for your communication!”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was 16. I had 2 cats and a dog from the age of 4. I had 3 dogs as a child and teenager. I take care of my parents 10 year old Pomeranian dog, Buddy. He is my favourite and I have so much fun playing with him and taking him for walks. I regularly take care of my friends' cats and dogs of all ages. I don't own any pets but I hope to some day. I'm very patient, kind and caring. I have a lot of patience with kittens, puppies and older dogs and cats. I like to meet in person or a video call before working with a client to ensure it's the right fit. I work from home and have a lot of free time to walk, feed & play with dogs and cats. I love pet sitting! I always look forward to taking care of pets. I live in a large 1 bedroom apartment with lots of room for a pet to walk around, play and rest. My apartment is safe, on the 2nd floor with no outdoor space but I'm close to a park. I am happy to go to the clients home too.
“Angie is a repeat sitter for my cat Presley, and she’s been wonderful every time! I can trust that his medication will be administered properly and he will be well taken care of.”
“Ashley is the best! We were able to travel again knowing that our baby boys were in loving and caring hands. ☺️ Her adorable updates and photos always brighten each day that we are away from them. <3 We would hands down trust Ashley with our precious babies again! ❤️”
“Georgia is a fantastic sitter! I took a much-needed vacation and needed someone to check on my cat, who had recently been to the vet a few times for a minor medical condition. Georgia was extremely attentive to his feeding and play schedule. She updated me with daily pics and messages about his activities. It really relieved my anxiety about leaving him at home. Don't think twice about booking Georgia if she is available. Highly recommended!”
“Hayley was very patient and understanding with my sometimes unpredictable older cat which was much appreciated! Hayley is very friendly and communicative and took great care of my cat. I would definitely recommend her and book her again!”
“Candice was great—always sending great photos and updates of Scoobs, Teddy, and Flo! Will absolutely book her the next time we are out of town!”
“Our cat Dewey was in great hands with Devon, who did drop-in visits over a few days. Devon was communicative and gave us a lot of confidence that Dewey was being well looked after: highly recommend her as a sitter!”
About: I care deeply for animals and feel pure joy and a sense of purpose when I exercise them. Their mental state and well-being is just as important as ours, but it's up to us humans to maintain it! I grew up with labs, a golden retriever and an Irish wolfhound. Several neighbors, friends and family members have relied on me for drop ins, walks and weekend stays for their dogs and cats since I was a young teen. I also volunteered and later worked at an educational nature center for kids in my hometown and have experience handling and feeding birds, rabbits and reptiles. I am available most weeknight evenings (5:30 pm and after) and flexible Fri-Sun. You can always send a request even if it shows I'm unavailable, I will always try to shift things around in my schedule for Rover if I can! I will respond quickly too. I am unable to house animals in my current space, but when I introduce myself to a new animal in his/her home, I will let them approach me and get down at their level. I have learned that body language and tone very much matters.
“Erin took amazing care of my kitties, making sure to play and cuddle with them while I was away. From the photos she shared each visit, they clearly appreciated the attention and most tellingly, they were relaxed and happy when I arrived home after a week, which means her visits really calmed them. She kept their litter and food area clean too! I’m so grateful for and happy with her care.”
“Jillian was fantastic! She was incredibly flexible and easy to work with. My cats are usually anxious when I travel but when I came home they were cheerful and calm”
“Diane was such a gem for my whole time away. We had a mishap with my keys (totally my fault) and she was so helpful and understanding. My cat also requires quite the concoction of food every day and she mastered it easily. I didn’t feel worried the entire time I was away- will definitely be booking again!”
“Dan is awesome! He came over with short notice and took great care listening to my cat's needs. I was nervous looking for someone to take care of my cat while I was on an extended trip, but he provided constant updates and created a homely environment for my cat. Will definitely book again!”

Julia was communicative, easy to work with and followed the care instructions perfectly well. I even had to get new litter delivered while I was away, and Julia was so gracious to bring it in and top it off for my cat. I would definitely rebook her for cat sitting again.
Jean is a caring, meticulous, and highly communicative sitter. He was very patient with our cat, who is quite shy, and we felt confident that she was in the best of hands while we were away. Jean was sure to share photos and videos from every visit and went above and beyond to make sure that things were taken care of during his time with us. We will eagerly look for his availability next time we travel and would happily recommend him to others as well without reservation!
Run, don’t walk to book Yejin to take care of your pet!! She went above and beyond for our cat, followed all instructions to a T, and was extremely communicative. In addition to all of that, she is a talented pet photographer! We (the people and the cat) are so happy. Thank you Yejin!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Astoria on Rover is $26.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 12,733 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Astoria. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Astoria. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
