“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!”
“Faith was an outstanding cat sitter. She was trustworthy, reliable and responsive, and provided detailed updates during every visit. Faith spent extra time cuddling and playing with my cat each day and my cat absolutely loved her. I would recommend Faith to anyone for pet sitting needs without hesitation!!”
About: I treat pets as if they’re my own and pay close attention to their unique routines, quirks, and needs! Whether it’s sticking to a specific feeding schedule, giving medications, or providing extra snuggles, I’m reliable, observant, and dedicated to making their time with me stress-free and fun. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable handling energetic puppies or kittens , providing care for seniors, and making sure every pet gets the right balance of play, exercise, and relaxation. My ultimate goal is to make each pet feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I make time in the morning and evening for walks, feeding, and check-ins, with flexibility throughout the day to provide visits, playtime, or overnight care. Weekends are also open, giving me extra time for longer visits or stays. I’m committed to building a schedule that works best for you and your pet’s needs. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions carefully and keep routines consistent so your pet feels secure. In my house I always make sure to close doors and the backyard gates are close too, I always make sure to use leashes properly, and keep a close eye during walks or play. my home is a calm and pet-friendly environment where they’re never left unattended for long periods. I believe in treating every animal with patience, kindness, and respect—because they deserve nothing less.
“Kiana is a responsible sitter who follows the instructions well. She played with my super shy cat, sending lots of images and video updates and very easy to get in touch with. She also helped with my mail, highly recommended!”
“Such a great sitter! Dandan took great care of our three cats. She gave them all the pets and playtime she could fit in after feeding them and scooping the litter boxes. She also kept us informed on anything that she saw to make sure they were acting their normal selves. I would 100% want to book with her again”
“Big thanks to Karalyn for giving me peace of mind when I have to travel away from my cats. Updates and pics were perfect and thank you for keeping them cool, looking good with the brushing and keeping us up to date on my elusive void cat when photos were not possible. ❤️”
“Katherine was available last minute to drop in on Beau and walk him. She followed instructions to the tee, was responsive, and took lots of pictures. We'd love to work with her again!”
“For years now, Hayley has taken great care of my cat whenever I've been away. Always reliable, great communication, fun photos, happy cat ... thank you Hayley!”
“Katerina was amazing with my two kitties! I was nervous leaving them for the first time but she made sure to give me many pictures each day and kept me updated! she also helped to clean up my apartment a bit when they knocked over some things or threw up. I really appreciated her efforts”
“Ashley is a fantastic sitter. Very communicative, timely, and overall we felt great about her watching out for our senior kitty while we were away. She really is wonderful!”
“Elva is such a nice person, she even wants to charge me less because my requirement was simple! My dog is very happy with her, and the apartment kept so clean! I will definitely ask her for help in the future and will recommend her to all of my friends! Thank you again!”
“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”
“Kaili the cat whisperer does it again. Our cat is always so well taken care of when we have Kaili sitting. Definitely provides peace of mind with her thorough recaps, pictures and texts. Thanks again Kaili!”
“Devon was so easy to work with! She gave great updates on her visits and was able to work with a last minute booking. She was also super flexible with timing and availability. Would definitely recommend!”
“Erin’s been so great checking in on Ronnie throughout the spring. She’s flexible with my work schedule and super communicative. I love seeing the pictures after each visit and I know Ronnie is in great hands while I’m gone. Overall, she made my move to the NYC so much less stressful knowing that Ronnie was getting so much love when Erin stopped by:)”
“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.”
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.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Astoria is $25
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Astoria
Hi Yejin did a great job of taking care of my babies while I was out of town. I was very anxious because it was my first time using Rover as my kitties’ caretaker. I had a slew of things that I needed taken care of and she went above and beyond to meet mine and my kitties’ needs. She also added her own extra touches. It’s worth mentioning that she already changed mine and the kitties’ lives because she shared knowledge about both my cat breeds and understood their dispositions immediately. She explained the value of appropriate stimulation to decrease kitty stress and anxiety, delivering her own brand of care.
Shanese did a fabulous job for us taking care of our 3 cats with different personalities and different needs. She was very dependable and inventive in responding to any problems along the way. She even brought her own toys to entertain the cats! Shanese is a real cat person. 🐈⬛🐈 She was the perfect choice to care for Karma and Leo and Pancakes. We are grateful to her and highly recommend Shanese!
Simon took fantastic care of our cat while we were away. You can tell he's very experienced and cares ao much about what he does. He was communicative, timely and went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and safe - highly recommend and we will definitely rebook. Thanks Simon!!
We absolutely loved having Elizabeth care for our cats! She was so communicative and thoughtful throughout our trip, and her detailed updates and tons of photos gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our instructions and took such great care of the cats, who clearly loved her! We felt completely comfortable and relaxed knowing they were in such good hands. We would definitely love to have Elizabeth sit for us again!
I’m so grateful to Chloe for taking amazing care of my two cats. She was accommodating and communicative from the start, and I’ve never felt more at ease being away. One of my cats is a finicky eater, and Chloe used different methods to make sure she ate. She sent lots of updates and photos from each visit, and it was reassuring to see that both cats wanted to be near her. They can be anxious, but were calm and secure when I got back. I highly recommend Chloe and hope she is available to take care of the cats again!
AMAZING AGAIN! Booked with Lisa for a long period of travel (9 days), and she did an amazing job taking care of our bunny! She follows all directions, communicates seamlessly, and took many photos of our rabbit. I'd highly recommend her for anyone who needs their pet taken care of for drop-in visits. She always makes us feel at ease that our bunny is well taken care of!! Would definitely recommend her!

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.

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.
