“Huge thanks to Bailey for taking on a last minute drop in request! Our dog can be very anxious so very appreciative of her being accommodating our requests for his care.”
“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!”
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.

“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!!”
“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!”
“Our cat has fallen in love with Dandan! She is so comfortable with her! She definitely enjoys the pampering and attentiveness! Dandan is an exceptional pet sitter - not only is she great with cats, but she follows the instructions to a T and sends detailed updates every day.”
“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.”
“Kiana took great care of Luna while we were away and followed all of her feeding and care instructions perfectly. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Luna was in good hands. We highly recommend her!”
“Rebecca was great with Tali! Asked good questions to make sure she was comfortable and knew what to do, showed up on time and kept us updated. Would definitely book Rebecca again!”
“Elva is wonderful! This was my first time using Rover, and Elva made the experience so positive we would definitely book again. She is very kind, reliable, responsible, easy to work with, came on time every single day, and is very communicative. We met with her before the stay, and she was very careful to get all the details for watching our two cats. Elva sent us several pictures of both of our cats each visit, as well as pictures of the clean litterboxes, fresh water, and freshly filled food dishes every day. She really put our mind at ease, and took time each day to play with the cats and make sure they were doing well. Both our girls are shy around new people, and they both loved Elva! You can tell how great she is with animals, I will definitely be booking with Elva the next time we are away, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!”
“Ashley was a fabulous sitter providing a lot of communication and photos during the check-ins. Nothing but great things to say and I would definitely work with her 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 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.”
“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.”
“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:)”
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.

Sylvia was absolutely wonderful with Clover! She was caring, attentive, and kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Clover was clearly happy and well cared for when we came home. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would definitely recommend Sylvia!
Robin did a wonderful job doing a daily drop in service for my two cats while I was away for a long weekend. She was friendly, followed all instructions and communicated well. Her daily notes and photos were comforting to receive and the cats responded well to her! I highly recommend and will plan to book again in the future!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 27,939 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Astoria. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
