“Amber was amazing as always! So reliable and my pets are always well taken care of and happy. She is just amazing and is always prompt and was able to watch them last minute. She’s truly the best! Thank you Amber!!”
About: I’ve cared for animals for many years and have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable providing everything from walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention to bathing, brushing, and basic grooming when needed. I also enjoy working with puppies and helping reinforce potty training, routines, and good habits. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Whether your pet loves being active and playing, going on walks, or simply cuddling and relaxing, I’m happy to adjust their care to what makes them happiest. I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own pets. I’m available as needed for any pet sitting. If you have a specific schedule that is needed, I’m more than willing to abide by it. I currently have dogs in my own home and have had a cat. I have picked up some of my clients animals from their home to watch them at my house, as well as going to their house and caring for them in the comfort of their own home. I love going on walks and cuddling with all pets.
“Lindsey took a very short notice booking for my cats, communicated well, and made sure they were taken care of. She also brought in my mail and did a few other tasks while I was away. Highly recommend working with her!!”
About: I’m a dog owner myself, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet. I’m dependable, patient and comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I’ll treat your pet like I would my own, whether they need a walk, potty break, fresh food and water, playtime or just some extra attention while you’re away. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week for drop-in visits. I’m available mornings, afternoons and evenings, including weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and can accommodate regular weekly visits as well as occasional care when you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and respect your home and your pet’s normal routine. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, provide fresh food and water as requested, and give your pet plenty of attention and playtime. I’ll also send photos and updates after each visit so you know how your pet is doing.
About: I have taken care of family pets since I was a child. As an adult, I have invested my time in rescuing pets that need a little extra time and attention. Currently I have two dogs, Chuck Norris & Winchester, who I adopted from local rescus. I have spent the last 4 years working with Norris on extreme separation anxiety and special dietary needs. My hope is that I can continue helping animals by assisting y'all here on Rover with your pet care needs! If you hire me, I promise your fur babies will be given the time, care and respect I give to mine. I work as a care coordinator, allowing me the ability to make my own schedule. That means I am able to care for your pets at all times throughout the day :) I do not bring pets into my home but will come to yours as many as 3 times per day. I will accept same day bookings but prefer for at least 24 hours notice.
“Karla did a wonderful job with Rudy. He has special needs and she was very conscientious of getting the steps to his feeding and meds correct. Rudy enjoys spending time with Karla!”
About: I have had a dog my entire life. Each one has been a unique part of the family. Tucker is my baby who I’ve had since he was a puppy. He is my whole world! I'm very trustworthy and I'll treat your dogs as if they're my own! I love to play with dogs, will take them for walks, or just hangout and give them a good scratch or brushing. I'm willing to do anything else you'd like so they feel comfortable, like a meet-and-greet! I've dog sat several times before and I really enjoy it! I hope to meet your dog (and you) soon! I’m currently available in the afternoons/evenings and the weekends! Feel free to message me and I will do my best to be available to you in order for your pets to be cared for! I will do anything you’d like me to with your dog and my goal is to make them feel comfortable! I am all about making them feel at home, getting exercise, or whatever your dogs needs are!
About: I am very passionate about animals, dogs and cats especially! Love them so much. Your fur babies will be so incredibly loved, adored, spoiled, and so happy by me when I am done with them and they return to you safe and sound. They are so important to me and I will treat them like I would for my own, well disciplined when misbehaving, loved, have fun with them, give them lots of attention and treat them with respect as well. I represent these animals on behalf of them and thier owners since they can't speak for themselves. You will be able to tell the difference in their attitude and behavior of how much love and attention they got from me. I love the outdoors and driving my friends dogs around because I don't like to leave them by themselves all the time. Dogs are family. I have so much passion for these beautiful animals. I hope to have these wonderful opportunity to show you guys. Please note that if there is any messes in my home, there will be a $20 to $30 fee additional to the total cost of my clean up fee. I have to use my cleaning supplies and they are not cheap. I would appreciate your help and understanding with this. I have learned this the hard way and will set this request upfront for pet sitting at my home. I love dogs and cats so very much and am so happy to do thus job. I hope this is a very reasonable request. Thank you all!

I’ve volunteered walking dogs and caring for cats in animal shelters and am comfortable administering medications and caring for both young and senior pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of dependable care, communication, and maintaining your pet’s routine while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine. I work part-time at a café, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays. Outside of work, I prioritize providing attentive care, exercise, enrichment, and companionship to the pets I care for. I communicate regularly with owners and do my best to maintain each pet’s normal routine while they’re away. My priority is always keeping pets safe, comfortable, and maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and household rules. During visits, I make sure pets have secure access to appropriate areas, fresh water, and plenty of attention. I provide regular photo and video updates so owners can feel confident their pets are receiving excellent care while they are away. I am experienced with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles, and amphibians, and I adapt my care to each pet’s individual needs and personality.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,719 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Astoria. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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.
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.
