“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!”
“As always, Candice took great care of our 3 babies! Always keeping us posted of how they’re doing and sending us photos; we always ask Candice to take care of our cats when we’re out of town!”
“Kiana was such an angel taking care of my cat while we were out of town! She was so responsive, sent the best photos, and eased all my anxiety about my cat being on her own. I highly recommend her to anyone! My cat adored her.”
About: I've been caring for dogs for over 20 years and have experience with dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. I currently have a senior Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier who has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and paying close attention to changes in behavior or health. I know every dog is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I'm happy to provide the care they need. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're apart. I work a hybrid schedule and work from home at least three days a week, giving me flexibility to spend quality time with your dog throughout the day. My in-office days are also flexible, so I can often adjust my schedule when needed. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, potty breaks, or just some companionship, I'll do my best to keep them on their normal routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I'll follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet's normal routine, and always prioritize their safety and comfort. I'm attentive to changes in behavior and will communicate with you promptly if I notice anything concerning. Whether caring for your pet in your home or taking them on walks, I'll treat them with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own dog.
“Ashley is always super helpful and reliable! She is a go-to when my regular walker isn’t available and always takes great care of my senior dog. Definitely recommend :)”
“Katerina took great care of our kitties while we were out of town for our wedding. She put our minds at ease so we could be fully present for our festivities.”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also fostered dogs with a wide range of temperaments and behaviors. For every dog I've taken care of, I make sure to adapt to each of their needs, routines, and comfort level. I aim to provide patient, attentive care so every dog feels safe and comfortable. I'm currently working from home so I'll be available to your dog at all times. I usually walk my dog at least 3 times a day. Happy to adjust to whatever your dog may need! I keep a variety of dog toys available for your dog's entertainment, and I have a small/medium-sized crate available if your dog is crate trained or prefers having a quiet space to relax. Generally, I try to follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at home.
“Hsiujen has watched my cat puffles multiple times now and does a great job with him every time. I can tell he feels comfortable and safe with her. Highly recommend for any pet sitting needs!”
“Elizabeth did a fantastic job checking in on our cat while we were away for a few days. She followed all the directions and kept us posted on our cats progress! I felt comfortable knowing she was looking after my little girl”
“We highly recommend Michelle to care for your fur babies! We had a Meet+Greet with her before the drop-in appointment and our pups loved her instantly. They were happy to see her when she returned for the drop-in visit the following day. She followed directions exactly as we requested. She even arrived a little early which worked out well for us. We needed to turn our phones off about the time she was set to arrive. We were able to buzz her into our building because she took the initiative to arrive 15 minutes early. Michelle is very thoughtful and conscientious. She cleaned up after feeding the dogs and left the apartment tidy. Michelle sent us frequent status updates on how they were doing with photos. Michelle is a kind person who loves all animals! We will definitely book with Michelle again!”
“Miguel is great! Totally reliable, right on time every day, kept me posted on everything - and my super-shy cat even came out to take a look at him while he was here, which is a first!”
“Maria took great care of my senior cat. She not only followed the feeding and misc instructions but asked me questions no other sitter had previously asked. Little details. I returned to a happy and purring cat. Maria is a very conscientious sitter and I highly recommend her.”
“David helped me out last minute when another sitter canceled on me! He was great and very patient with mocha, as she took her time warming up lol. He showed up everyday on time, was very communicative in making sure mocha’s needs were met. Would recommend booking David for your fur babies!”
“Britt is so reliable and easy to work with! She followed directions that were given to her which included medications for my two dogs, along with meals and walk schedules. She provided photos and was easy to contact and responsive when reached out to. Definitely will work with her again!”
“Heather was so great with my cat Ollie! He is hesitant to new people but she got him to warm up in just a couple visits! She was very friendly and checked in with me with photos and videos that helped me feel better about leaving him home. Would definitely recommend her!”
About: I have always loved animals, and grew up around dogs and cats of all kinds! From big dogs and small energetic puppies, to older cats and tiny kittens, I've cared for them all. I grew up with cats in my house, and dogs around in close friends and families homes. Your home and your pet are yours! Whether they need to stay in one room, or be in a pen, or stay in a crate, I can do that. Communicate any and all guidelines for your pet and I will follow them. My calendar should be fairly accurate, especially if it says the “next 2 weeks out are confirmed”. **Please note that I require at least 48hrs notice for new clients. My services settings do reflect this as well. Thanks for the understanding Currently WFH and I am out of the house a few hours at a time but still able to provide attentive care to your pet! Reach out and ask if routines/timing are a concern Always being aware, even in a safe environment, can prevent anything from happening. On walks, best if dogs stay on leash and close by at all times.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for several years through volunteer work at Animal Care Centre in Manhattan and helping friends with their pets. Whether it’s walking dogs, feeding cats, or just spending time with them to keep them company, I truly enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel safe and loved. I’ve looked after pets of different sizes and personalities and understand how important it is to be patient and attentive to their needs. While I don’t have formal training or certifications, what sets me apart is the genuine care and reliability I bring to every pet sitting job. Friends often trust me to care for their pets when they travel because they know I treat them like my own. I’m dependable, respectful of routines, and always focused on making sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for in their environment. I’m also insured as well. Ig: yeotasker Just got into a retail job so it will be morning walks 8am or before daily. Caring for pets also brings a sense of balance and joy to my week. It’s something I genuinely look forward to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their usual routines closely to help the pet feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of playtime, walks (if needed), and, of course, lots of attention and affection. I’m respectful of the home, keep things tidy, and stay in communication with the owner through updates and photos so they know their pet is in good hands. If a pet needs quiet time or has special preferences like favorite toys or sleeping spots. I would make sure to honor that. My goal is to make their time away from their owner feel as stress free as possible.
“Caterina was a fantastic cat sitter for our two cats! Very detail-oriented and communicative. We really appreciated her detailed report cards and extra pets she gave them while we were away! We hope to work together again next time!!”

Jessica watched our bulldog, Max, twice this summer and was amazing! She took such great care of him and always communicated with us. We looked forward to her pictures and felt such a relief knowing he was with Jessica. We look forward to booking again with her next time we go away.
Bridget is an amazing dog sitter! I really appreciate her attention to detail and the thoughtful care she gives my dog. She is reliable, attentive, and clearly takes her role seriously. I always feel confident knowing my dog is in such great hands. Highly recommend Bridget!
Ri is so fantastic. She does such a great job with my senior dog, making him feel extra loved. I love that she writes a description each time she checks on him, as well as sends several photos :) she communicates so well, reaching out with questions and info as needed. She’s been a huge help and I appreciate her so much!!
Natalia has been incredible with my dog. She’s reliable, responsive, and always on time, and most importantly, my dog is always genuinely excited to see her. She clearly cares about the dogs she works with and has been someone I can completely count on, both for regular walks and when I’ve needed someone to watch him. I’d highly recommend Natalia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker or sitter.
Sean was awesome! Truly cared about my dogs, sent plenty of pictures and updates and was also booked for a full weekend on late notice. My dogs can be stubborn on walks and he was patient and worked with each of their quirks even taking one of them out for a second walk since he prefers a bit longer outside. Can’t say enough good about Sean, thank you again!!
Yuxuan was friendly, communicative, super responsive, and best of all, flexible for our last minute request! She also offered a meet and greet so she could get to know Beau's needs before taking care of him. Beau loved walking with her. We'd gladly work with Yuxuan again!
Sungmin did a drop-in visit for my puppy and she was amazing! She sent me videos and photos afterwards and provided a short summary of what tricks they worked on. It’s clear that my puppy loved playing with her. She was also very respectful of my home and I’m glad I found someone I can trust! Already booked her again for this week!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Astoria stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Astoria 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!
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.

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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Astoria with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
