“Kaili is amazing, as always. Our cats love her and so do we! Our high energy cat looks forward to seeing her and our opposite of any energy cat is even willing to play when in her care. Don’t hesitate!”
“I have it on good authority from my cat Weezie that Candice does a great job with drop-in visits! And I can attest to getting consistent updates with lots of photos, putting my mind at ease while being away. I highly recommend Candice!”
“Medina was wonderful! I felt so comfortable knowing my Frankie was in good hands while I was away. Medina was punctual and very communicative, regularly sending pictures of my cat to ease any anxiety I had. My cat loved her as well! Will definitely be using her again.”
“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!!”
“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!!”
“Liam took care of my cat while I was away on vacation for a few days. He provided tons of updates with photos, was very responsive, and seemed to really be able to connect with my normally shy kitty. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Briattney is an awesome sitter who truly cares for cats! I was able to feel at ease with updates and photos. Her cats Salem and Steel are very funny and sweet and interacted well with our cat. Would trust again!”
“I dropped off Niko and Rumi at his place and honestly had a great experience. He took really good care of them and kept me in the loop the whole time, like sending updates when they were fed and just how they were doing in general. Niko is usually very anxious and hides around new people, but he actually got comfortable with him, which says a lot. Both Niko and Rumi seemed super settled, almost like it was their second home. At one point Niko puked a hairball (which is normal for him), but he handled it well and kept me updated every few hours, and even followed up the next day and after meals. I really appreciated that. Overall, I wouldn’t think twice about booking again.”
“My cat was happy and well fed under Jen’s care! She was communicative, great about doing a meet and greet together with my cat, and consistent. I would recommend or work with Jen again any time!”
About: I have been growing up with animals and training them, I have a really strong connection with all of them, which leads to well behaved dogs and cats when they are with me and my energy, I have the capacity to take all of their anxiety out, so they are more relax and happy when they get back home, this would help you to make them not be messy at home, because we all know that sometimes all this hyperactivity can get crazy at home. I’m currently free 5 time a week, I’m a college student so this is the perfect job for me because I’m going to have time to do what I like and go to school. I want my costumer and pet to feel the most comfortable the possibly can, I’ll be sending pictures of the whole process of walking the animal, when I pick it up, everything that it involves and of course when the animal gets back home safely.
About: Hi! I’m a masters student with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals. I have my own dog back in Chicago named Momo, so I know firsthand what it means to trust your pet with someone new. I have taken care of a friends dog for two weeks at a time, so I also have boarding experience! I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to send regular updates and photos. I’m currently a masters student (about to be unemployed after May lol) so I have a very flexible schedule. I am generally available 11am-8pm, so please shoot a message and I’ll make it work! I prioritize your pets comfort! My dog is anxious so I know what it’s like for your pet to be uncertain about people. I will never approach cats who don’t want to be interacted with, and I keep a close eye on pups that are a bit flight-ish during walks for any dangers outside!
About: Hi! I'm Dory, I'm a lifelong animal lover who understands that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and confident while you're apart. I’ve cared for pets my entire life and understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have experience caring for cats ranging from 8-week-old kittens to 10-year-old adults, and I currently have three cats of my own. I have also cared for senior dogs and am comfortable administering medication when needed. What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and personalized approach to pet care. I treat every pet on a case-by-case basis and prioritize both the owner’s preferences and the safety, comfort, and happiness of each animal. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience and care, I’ll make sure they receive the attention they need. I know how important peace of mind is while you’re away, so I'll provide regular photo updates and a detailed report after each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I look forward to treating your pets with the same love and care that I give my own! My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to provide consistent and dependable care throughout the week. I enjoy being able to dedicate my time to each pet’s individual routine and needs, whether that means a midday walk, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship and reassurance while their owners are away. I’ll make sure every pet receives attentive, loving care while you’re away. If you have any questions or specific needs, please feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate. I provide care in your home where your pet feels most comfortable. I’ll follow their normal routine, keep them happy and safe, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you’re away. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have, whether it’s feeding schedules, favorite toys, walk preferences, or little habits that help your pet feel at ease. Every pet has their own personality, and I love taking the time to get to know what makes them happy. During each visit, I’ll send photo updates and a little report so you can feel connected and reassured that your furry friend is doing well. I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
About: Hello! I’m Nicole, a reliable and caring pet sitter and dog walker. While I don’t have any pets of my own right now, I’ve grown up with dogs and am a loving cat aunt to several of my friends’ fur babies. When you’re at work or out of town I’m happy to stop by for some quality time, food, fresh water, playtime and plenty of pets! I also love getting outside, so I’d be thrilled to take your dog for a nice, long, refreshing walk. I’m responsible and trustworthy and will treat your pet and your home with the same care I have for my own and will keep you in the loop with plenty of cute photos. I’m currently on the hunt for a new full time job so I have weekdays and weekends free to drop in and spend time with your pets. Prior to my visit, let’s connect so I can get a sense of your pet’s daily routine and preferences. I love spending time with animals and want to give them the attention and care they deserve.
About: Hi! I’m Maddy. I grew up with a family corgi and have had a cat myself. I know what it’s like to care for animals that are energetic, shy, have separation anxiety, or need special care. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and caring looking after your furry friends and I hope I can be that person for you! I am comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and daily routines. I like to think I’m pretty chill to work with, very communicative, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m a new grad who recently moved to the city. I am generally in office Mon-Fri, but home by 5pm and free on the weekends. I can be flexible where needed, so just ask! Outside of work, I have a plenty of free time, so I’m able to give your furry friend lots of attention, playtime, and care. I live alone in a clean, cozy apartment with no other pets, so your pet will have a calm, comfortable environment and my undivided attention! Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. I live alone in an apartment with no other pets, it will be a calm environment. While I don’t have a fenced yard or direct outdoor access, I’m more than happy to take dogs outside for regular walks, potty breaks, and fresh air as often as needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their space and do my best to maintain their pet’s usual routine. I’ll follow any specific instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and other care needs to make sure your pet feels comfortable and happy. I’m also happy to provide regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Astoria
Xiaoying was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly responsible, attentive, and thoughtful throughout the entire drop-in visit. She uploaded lots of adorable photos of my cat, along with very detailed updates about how everything was going. It really helped me feel reassured knowing my cat was being well taken care of while I was away. Communication with Xiaoying was also excellent. She was always responsive, easy to communicate with. I could really tell that she genuinely cared about my cat and took her responsibilities seriously. I’m so grateful for her care and attention, and I would absolutely book with her again! Highly recommend Xiaoying to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Alice and Ethan are the best with our cat!! We have hired them 3 times now and would absolutely again for any time we need! They go above and beyond - like 30+ pics of our cat each visit with long descriptions and our place is always clean when we get back. They are true animal lovers and the best sitter! Would recommend to anyone

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Astoria is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $39 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 November 2026, there are 3,615 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 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.

- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 88% 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.
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.
