About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 5 years, including my family dog and family friends’. I love going on walks, bathing, and feeding dogs. I know some tricks to give them medicine if needed. I’m working part-time on Saturdays, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your fur baby throughout the week. I don’t have any time restraints, so feel free to rely on me. I know how to crate dogs, regardless of age, and have a lot of patience since I’ve babysat toddlers before too. I know not all dogs are the same and wait for them to approach first unless there’s an emergency.

About: I’ve always loved animals, and caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy. 🐾 I’m a dog mom myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone who is patient, trustworthy, and attentive to your pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding, keeping pets company, and giving lots of love and attention. I’m especially patient with pets who may be shy or need extra time to feel comfortable. ❤️ What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like family. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! 🐶🐱💕 I WILL ALWAYS: - Updates on your pet - Photos documenting each activity we are doing. - Experience with separation anxiety, leash-reactivity, and general aggression. - Experience with special needs and senior dogs. - Snacks, rubs, and cuddles always provided. - Patient walker: Your pet leads their experience, I follow and always supervise! FOR EVERYONE’S SAFETY: - For leash-reactive or general aggression, please let me know in advance so that we may execute the safest booking possible. - Meet & Greets before accepting a booking is always available upon request! 🎉 New to Rover? Get $20 OFF your first booking with me! Promo Code is ANNEYV85132 My schedule is flexible, and I’m able to plan pet care around my work and personal routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting with advance notice. 🐾 I’m reliable about keeping scheduled times and making sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’ll also keep you updated throughout the visit so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. ❤️ Use my referral link: https://www.rover.com/sit/anneyv85132 🐶🐱💕 I prioritize safety by keeping the leash on in open areas to prevent accidents and ensure control. I value trust by respecting both people and other dogs' behavior. I enjoy engaging with dogs through playful activities like running and fetching, while also showing affection through petting, hugs, and expressing love. Additionally, I’m mindful of the environment, likely meaning I’ll clean up after your dog and I’m conscious of their impact on surroundings during play.

About: I was previously in a internship program about animals specifically dogs for a whole summer. Picking up after them and feeding them. It was about 28 dogs on the busiest days and the minimum was about 10 so I got to know very different and unique dogs. As of now I am open and available to watch any furry animals like cats or dogs for as long as I am required too. I have a very nice and playful dog myself that loves the company of other animals. She loves making friends and is gentle with smaller animals.

About: I have experience taking care of my own cat and dog. I am used to the daily routines of a pet, such as feeding, cleaning, play and company. I am a responsible, patient and careful person. I like to follow the instructions of each owner to respect the schedules, habits and needs of each pet. I also feel comfortable walking friendly dogs and making home visits to feed them, accompany them and make sure they are well. I have flexible availability during the week and on weekends. I can organize my schedule for walks and home visits, and I like to dedicate enough time to each pet so that it feels accompanied and well taken care of. I always carefully follow the instructions of each owner and respect the routine of each pet. I make sure they have water, food, walks and company, and I maintain constant communication with photos and updates during the service.

About: Every dog has their own personality, and I believe the best care starts with understanding that. Some dogs want to play all day, some need patience and time to trust you, and others are happiest just having someone calmly by their side. I always take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and comfortable. My experience with animals started helping rescue dogs in South America, including dogs that were scared, shy, or came from difficult situations. It taught me patience and how important it is to let an animal trust you at their own pace. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, as well as cats. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, cuddly, independent, or a little nervous with new people, I’ll care for them based on what they need and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care has always been a big part of my daily routine. I care for my own pets every day, so I’m very used to planning my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime and making sure they get the attention they need. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. I understand how important consistency is, so I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including their usual walk times, feeding schedule and any specific instructions you have. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible even when you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously. I always follow the routine and instructions you give me because I want your pet to feel as comfortable and normal as possible while you’re away. I pay close attention to feeding times, walks, medications if needed, playtime and the little things that are specific to your pet. I’m also respectful of your home and will always leave it the way I found it. I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and being well cared for. I care for every pet with the same patience and attention I would want someone to give my own.

About: I’m a responsible babysitter and dog sitter. I’ve taken care of young pups and senior dogs. I understand dog body language well enough to assess situations when needed. I love a challenge and that means multiple dogs, larger dogs, and I could dog sit for hours. I follow instructions and I’m open to extra services before sun down. Although I’m new, you should not underestimate my experience. You can rely on me to be your dog’s new companion, I’m very flexible and adaptable. I love taking photos so you would not regret a photoshoot! I encourage pet owners to ask about any concerns or requests. I work part time helping animals! Feel free to ask me about that, but my scheduling is always changing so don’t be afraid to reach out to see if we can work around it! I don’t have a yard but the apartment is open except the main bedroom. There’s also a dog park nearby so we can have some safe outside play time!

About: I’ve always been a lover of animals especially cats and dogs! I have my own cat that I’ve taken care of through thick and thin. Administering a pet medicine, a bath, a walk, food and water, and companionship is something I’m very fond of. Your pets will be treated like my own. :) I have all my weekdays free for taking care of your furry companion! However, if I have certain errands or appointments I need to get done I will let you know in advance as soon as anything comes up. :) I will make sure to accommodate to whatever requirements or rules you have set for your place of living. Please let me know of all of these before allowing me to care for your cat/dog.

About: I treat every dog and puppy like family! I’m loving, patient, and always ready for walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of belly rubs and cuddles! It’s something that I’d like to do, if It’s possible to do it everyday and meet new cuddly friends, I’d love to have that opportunity to help! I’ll make sure they get comfortable with me and that they aren’t scared or timid. That isn’t what I’m there for, I want the pets to know that I am there to care for them so they can have fun!

About: Growing up in a household with multiple dogs, cats, turtles and the occasional chickens and turkeys, teaches you that every single animal is different, with unique personalities and needs; understanding that makes all the difference when you take care of them. I have a full time job, so I am available for early mornings and evening and night drop-ins. The weekends are free and my only concern those days is making sure I also keep my own cat's schedule. My lovely tabby is a task master, so we have a very solid routine for feeding, litter cleaning and play. This include morning and evening littler cleaning, marking sure his water fountain is running smoothly and cleaned once a week, rotating toys during play time so he doesn't lose interest, and set meal times

“Amanda was a great sitter! My cat has hyperthyroidism and I was worried about him going too long without medication and water(he needs to drink a lot). She followed all instructions and made sure to give him his meds. He's a grumpy cat, but they seemed to get along. Will definitely book again. Thanks Amanda!”

About: I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away! I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own, taking the time to understand their unique personality, routine, and needs. I currently do drop in visits and house sit for a 3-year-old Pit Bull named Dutch, providing walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and lots of affection while maintaining his regular routine. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive, and I understand how important consistency is for pets. Whether your pet loves long walks, energetic play sessions, quiet companionship, sticking to their daily routine, or just wants to sit outside and supervise the neighborhood squirrels, I'm committed to providing the same level of care and love that I'd want for my own pets. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, capable hands. :) I currently work part-time in the environmental field and work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule to meet your pet's needs. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or sticking to your pet's regular routine, I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for both you and your furry friend. :) Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I know every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel most comfortable. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love while following your instructions closely. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands!

About: I take pride in being a sitter who truly understands dogs. My career as a veterinary assistant, now groomer has trained me to recognize the subtle changes in pet behavior. I prioritize low stress handling and safety. Whether your dog is a high-energy adventurer or a slow and shy senior, I tailor my care to their specific body language and needs. I offer a calm, professional, and loving presence where your dog isn't just watched, they are understood. Pet care is my primary focus and my flexible schedule allows me to be incredibly responsive to your pet’s individual needs. I specialize in providing attentive, one-on-one care at your residence, ensuring a stress free experience for pets who are most comfortable in their own familiar surroundings. Since I am not balancing a traditional 9 to 5 or a crowded boarding facility, I can offer your pet the consistent interaction and safety-conscious supervision they deserve. ​With my flexibility, I can strictly adhere to your baby's established routine from perfectly timed feedings to long, leisurely walks without the worry of ever having to rush. I am available to provide frequent updates, photos and videos ensuring you feel connected and confident that your home and your pets are in professional, dedicated hands throughout the entire stay! I provide a premium in-home experience by tailoring my care specifically to your pet’s personality and comfort level. Upon arrival, I always prioritize reading your pet’s body language to determine if they are ready for a play session or prefer a more gentle, quiet introduction. I truly believe pets thrive when their established routines are honored, so I will follow your instructions for feeding, medication (if any), exercise, and household rules to ensure their day remains predictable and stress free. ​Since we are working within their familiar environment, I can focus entirely on one on one enrichment, whether that is a focused walk, a play session, or simply providing quiet companionship on the couch. I am exceptionally mindful of home security and safety, making sure your pets are secure and your property is treated with the utmost respect. I provide frequent, detailed updates and photos so you can stay connected to your pet’s day, knowing they are receiving dedicated, expert supervision in the place they feel safest.

About: Growing up, my neighbors knew they could count on me to take great care of their dogs and cats while they were away. I am a major animal lover and walker, so walking dogs for work is a dream come true! My main job is as a Spanish teacher—if you want I will teach your dog Spanish at no extra cost 🙃 Jokes aside, I would love to take care of your pet! I am almost completely free until I start my summer training as a teacher on June 22nd. Then my availability will be more limited, and it will open up again for the month of August. I will enter more details soon! I will adapt to your pet's needs and treat them like royalty! You can count on me to feed, walk, and play with your dog, and if they need any more specific care, don't hesitate to ask!

Sabrina was wonderful, she was so sweet and gentle to my three cats. She knew how to interact with them and pet them but she also knew when to back off if any of my cats were more timid. She also cleaned up after my cats litter robot perfectly and kept my home clean as well as double checking if the oven/ stove was off! I felt so calm knowing my babies had such a great care taker while I was on vacation.

Chok is the most caring and conscientious cat sitter I’ve ever had. Leaving your pets behind is always stressful, but she immediately put my mind at ease. Melody and Houdini instantly connected with her—they usually take time to warm up to new people, but they absolutely adored her! She was incredibly attentive to their routines, extremely thorough with the care instructions, and treated my home with the utmost respect. It is so clear that she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy, safe, and comfortable. I could tell from her detailed updates and photos/videos she sent that my cats were in fantastic hands the entire time. ***Chok also administered asthma medicine to one of my cats (an inhaler using Aerotek chamber and mask). If you are looking for a trustworthy, loving, and reliable sitter who will treat your fur babies like her own, look no further. I am so grateful for her and will definitely be booking her again! Chok is amazing!

Jennifer was fantastic—even our most bashful cat, who had to be allowed to eat in the bedroom on her first day, was showing up to greet Jen at the front door by the end of her gig. We got plenty of photos from each session, and they were happy and full of energy when I finally came home. I would definitely ask her to take care of our cats again!

Lillybeth did drop-in visits with my two cats, for 6 days, while I was on vacation. She is an excellent caregiver- patient, responsive, and not afraid to ask questions when there was an issue. She provided me with detailed updates and photos daily, and when I needed to add an extra visit at the last minute, she was willing and able to accommodate my request. This was my second booking with Lillybeth, and I would not hesitate to book her again!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - College Point

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in College Point is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $37 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 3,567 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across College Point. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in College Point. On Rover:

  • 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 88% 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.

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.
