“Abby is reliable, flexible, and someone I know I can count on to take great care of my cat. She was very accommodating with changing schedules and last-minute changes, which made things so much easier. She also goes above and beyond to keep me informed about how my cat is doing and treats him with so much care and attention. I always feel confident knowing he’s in good hands with her!”
About: I’ve babysat and checked in on both dogs and cats in high school and to this day. My parents currently have a French Brittany that we all dote over. I’ll make sure I give as much care to your own best friend. Full availability, I am home for the holidays and know other people are trying to do the same. I have some obligations but they’re few and far between. I will feed, clean up accidents or litter, give walk/jogs/hikes, pet if they enjoy touch, and play time if they’re the playful kind. Let me know your needs.
“Jasmine is amazing! She stopped in to check on our kitties while we were gone. She must be the cat whisperer--we have a kitty that's usually antisocial but she loved Jasmine! Very responsive sitter and gave us great Rover card and photos. We will definitely be booking Jasmine for future trips! :)”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I wasn’t sure how it would go as one of my dogs doesn’t warm up to new people very well. When Kerry came for our meet and greet with in 20 mins my dog was totally in love with her. I felt my girls were in good hands. While I was gone I leaved hearing and see pictures of how things were going. I could see the girls were happy and that made me happy. I will definitely be using Kerry again for my next trip.”
“Alicia is fantastic! Our full size active doggie had a great time with Alicia, and she warmly helped our cat out too. She's a real pro with animals, and helped us exactly during the time slot we needed to get our dog out on the beach for a long romp and great time. Her communication is excellent, and she went above and beyond on a number of little items to keep our pets fed, exercised and happy. Alicia is very nice and personable too. We are so happy to find Alicia as we can leave town happily knowing our pets are in awesome hands with her.”
“Jenna is wonderful and such a blessing to us! I’m so thankful for her commitment to helping us out at a time when we really need it! She had given us peace of mind know that Scotty is getting what he needs and taking the worry out of our lives about it! We love Jenna and know you will to!”

Heidi did a great job watching my kitten, Dodger, at my house. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. I really appreciated the updates while I was away, and it gave me peace of mind knowing Dodger was in good hands. I’d definitely recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Astoria is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $36 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 72 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
