“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.”
“Jasmine you are an absolute delight thank you so much for taking such good care of our babies while we were away, the detailed notes that you left each day were such a comfort and the multiple photos gave us a big smile every time we received them, plus it’s a testament to you that our very scared boy Franky came out to let you brush and cuddle him eventually, thank you for being so patient and kind. Best cat sitter ever!”
“Jessica is a fantastic sitter! It’s always a little stressful trying to find a new sitter but she immediately put my mind at ease. It’s clear that she’s a cat lover herself and our cat took to her right away. Jessica will really go above and beyond for you. She sent lots of pictures for us and kept us in the loop about how he was doing. Our vacation was even more relaxing knowing our little guy was in such good hands! We will definitely be booking Jessica again in the future.”
“Tara was terrific! Super fast communication, on-time, followed instructions down to every last detail, and was very attentive to our pup. I’d recommend Tara to anybody, and we will absolutely use her again in the future.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/5 This was my first experience using Rover and I honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better than Eleni. She was incredibly flexible with timing, super kind, and always kept me updated with photos and videos. She consistently made sure Max ate, went potty, and felt comfortable, she truly went above and beyond in every way. She even taught him new tricks and helped with training, which I wasn’t expecting at all. Max was always happy, calm, and tired (in the best way!) after spending time with her. I’m extremely grateful for all her help. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about your pet as if it were her own.”
“Sorry for the late review. Eli took great care of my cat, and my apartment was tidy despite my shy cat making a bit of a mess. She did a wonderful job. I highly recommend her for your fluffy buddy!”

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with my family dogs Daisy the Shih Tzu for 14 great years, and caring for her taught me everything from daily routines to understanding her weird little quirks that make each dog unique. Since then, I’ve become the go‑to dog sitter for my friends, regularly helping with walks and overnight stays. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and know the importance of taking care of your dog as if it was my own. Your pet’s comfort and routine matter to me, and I’m committed to giving them the same love and attention they expect at home. I am currently working a flexible hybrid job in Tribeca and live in Astoria. I am flexible in terms of being near either location and more throughout the week. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, well‑organized 1‑bedroom apartment (about 500 sq ft), which creates a calm, controlled, and quiet environment that’s perfect for dogs who thrive on consistency and attention. My apartment is a short walk from multiple parks, so your dog will have plenty of space to play. The space is fully pet‑proofed and there is plenty of space for your dog’s bed/crate.

I treat every pet like family and focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress free environment so both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease. Caring for pets is something I naturally enjoy, so making time for walks, playtime, feeding, and attention easily becomes part of my everyday routine. I love creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while their owners are away. I provide loving and reliable care for pets in both my client’s homes and my own, making sure they stay comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine with plenty of attention, playtime, and care.
“Abigail was amazing! She took notes when she came over for key pick up and managed to get the routine despite me being all over the place explaining. She provided detailed cards after each visit and was extremely helpful when our sweet boy got a little sick while we were away.”
About: Caring for dogs is my joy in life. I am always the go-to pet sitter for friends and family and will give the same level of love and care to your pups. I am good with dogs large and small, and will happily take care of their needs while you are away. Walks, baths, medication, etc. I’m happy to see to their needs. I’m currently working part time while I pursue a business degree. I can provide daily walks during the week and weekend house sitting. If you don’t see what you need, please ask! With my own dogs I use positive training and treat rewards, we do not crate at home but I have experience catering for dogs who are and I am comfortable working with your preferred method of care.
“Katherine is so lovely and did a fantastic job with communication and updates on my cat, even though he's quite shy and has a habit of spilling his water! I would definitely book her again while I am away, thank you so much!”

Kaosi was amazing and we absolutely recommend her and plan to book again. Sebastian loved her and she was very attentive to his needs and updating my family on how he was doing each day. We felt comfortable with her and have no complaints, she followed all of our instructions and was very pleasant during the meet and greet. Book Kaosi!
Katherine was very good with my pets and provided updates for each visit. She was great at communicating and providing pictures for each walk and visit. My pets seemed to enjoy her company! She also cleaned and kept the space tidy without having to ask. I'd definitely recommend Katherine and also request for her again for future sitting.
I want to thank Sharon for helping me during the most difficult time in my life by taking care of my dog Riley on his last days in this world. Riley has succumbed from complications of Stage V IVDD (congenital). He’s only two. Sharon helped me navigate his hospice care. Sharon also took care of Riley when he was a puppy. Sharon is a reliable, compassionate and caring person. Thank you Sharon.
May has been a repeat for us because of her kindness with Courage. She knew how anxious he was and came BEFORE the booking to ensure he was warmed up to her. We didn’t ask for that and she went above and beyond. On top, she’s always consistent with her communication and shows such care for our Courage. Will always use May!
William was fantastic with Cozy, my reactive dog in active training. He followed his protocols to a T, kept him calm through a minor trigger, made sure he stayed hydrated on a warm day, and left a detailed note after the visit. Exactly the kind of attentive, communicative walker a dog with special needs requires. Highly recommend!
Alena was amazing with Binx, she shared a lot of photos and I’m sure Binx loved having her company. Alena also really helped me out because I did a last minute booking. She is professional, punctual, and a real animal whisperer. I will definitely be booking her again!
I had a great experience with the nail trim service. She was incredibly responsible, professional, and patient throughout the entire visit. She handled everything with care and made sure my dog was comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated her attention to detail and reliability. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled pet caregiver!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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 .

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.

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.
