“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!”
“A huge thank you to Gina for taking such wonderful care of Auggie and Lucky! It means so much to know they were not only well cared for but also loved as if they were her own. Her kindness, attention to detail, and genuine care made all the difference. We truly appreciate her and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again!”
“Heidi was super helpful, she was available with fairly short notice to come check in on my crew while I was out for the day. She did all I asked and was great with my dogs. I look forward to using her again.”
About: We are a military family who had to leave their animals behind during the last move. We are hoping to warm up our days by taking care of others furry friends. We are an active family that live right by Medal of Honor park. We have a large home and fenced in back yard, lots of room for playing or relaxing by the pool. We are a loving family family with two little ones (3 and 5). My husband and I both work during the week, but we work opposite schedules so there is always someone home. We are animal lovers who are free to take care of your furry friend when it’s convenient for you. We have a large fenced in backyard with a pool and a large house, both with a lot of space for activities. If crate was provided we have the space for that. We are right by Medal of Honor park so we are easily able to go on walks and visit the park.

I maintain independent business liability insurance for my professional pet-sitting and house-sitting services, providing clients with added peace of mind. I care for pets in their own homes, where familiar surroundings can help them stay comfortable. At the meet-and-greet, I review routines, medications, emergency contacts, entry instructions, and any fears or triggers. I secure doors and gates, check leashes and harnesses before walks, and provide clear photo updates throughout the booking.
About: I’ve been walking dogs and pet sitting for friends and neighbors for years, and caring for animals has always been one of my favorite parts of life. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and totally at ease while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just quiet company, I’m dedicated to giving your pets the same patience and care I’d want for my own. I work full-time, but I am available all day on Fridays and Saturdays. I'm also available in the early morning and in the evening any day of the week! I cannot care for your pets in my own home, but I am happy to go to clients' homes. I am in Seaside and can drive to your home to care for your pet.
“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.”

About: As a cat mom of 3, I love all furry faces as my own! I don’t mind playing, walking, feeding or just offering companionship. I work as a teacher in the day! My availability would be evenings during the work week. Otherwise, I’d love to stop by on weekends or plan ahead to offer care during holiday breaks. I fully believe in following the owner’s requests and routine for their animals. I will make my care a priority during visits and be sure to reach out if anything happens or if I need clarification.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats all of my life. I am a pet person. People ask to care for my dogs in the past as they are so well trained!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Astoria on Rover is $22.2 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 77 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.

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.
