About: I have always had experience growing up, taking care of animals of all kinds, from dogs to cats to reptiles and even fish. I have experience, fostering and caring for puppies, as well as training, puppies to become guide dogs. I myself have had numerous pets growing up, including two dogs. I currently have a beautiful rescue puppy (she’s actually 9 years old, but a puppy at heart), who I love with all my heart. As a pet caregiver, I will make sure your furry family friend will receive all the love and attention. I will treat your pet just like one of my own. I am currently available during the weekdays and possibly weekends, as long as there is notice ahead of time. I am more than happy to work a schedule that works for the both of us! I currently live in an apartment with my puppy. If you are more comfortable having your dogs stay at home I am very much flexible to come and take care of your pets in the comfort of their own home.
“Cecilia was so awesome! She was attentive and diligent with all the care instructions. She sent updates with pics each day and my cat clearly loved her. I came home to an extremely clean and tidy home and a very happy kitty. Highly recommend Cecilia to care for your pets!”
“Mika took great care of our cat Millie! She was very responsible, sent plenty of photo updates of Millie, and took excellent care of our apartment—we really appreciated it!”
“Karaline was a wonderful sitter! Kept me up to date on everything in the apt and with my little old lady, Elvira. She’s sweet and attentive to details and my kitty got along perfectly with her. Very adaptable to your animals needs (Elvira needs a lot of cleaning plus medicine), receptive to communication and very clean! My apt was spotless when I came back. I’d absolutely book her again, had me stress free the entire time.”
“Garrett was so wonderful! My girl loved him immediately and I left knowing she was in incredible hands. Garrett was so responsive and asked such great questions to make sure all information was covered. I will definitely book again!”
“Christopher was communicative, caring, and receptive. He provided a great help to me over the weekend and he will be the first one I reach out to again for assistance.”
“We went away for 10 days to Portugal, which was the longest we ever have been away from our dogs. Rose made us feel much better with her excellent care. She sent countless updates, pictures, and videos. I can tell my dogs were happy and relaxed. She followed our instructions exactly and left our home exactly how she found it. We will use her again!”
About: I have been pet sitting for about 3-4 years now! I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, and bunnies, but I am comfortable with all types of animals. Moved within the last two years from Buffalo, where my pet sitting was word of mouth, so giving this a go! Can’t wait to meet your fur babies! :) I work remotely, so I am able to stay with your pets in your home, as long as you have internet. Very flexible job, so I can give your pets all the love. :) I am very good at following instructions and have an attention to detail. Very comfortable with varying pet routines. I will make sure they are well fed and well loved! :)
“This was our first time using Rover (or anyone but family to watch our dog) and it was for a last minute vacation. May fit in a meet and greet days before we were leaving and Boots took to her right away. While we were gone May kept us updated both via text and with adorable photos/videos of our pup, which put us at ease. She also took great care of our house.”
“Andrea provided the best care to my two kitties! She was amazing in giving updates, following instructions and immediately made friends with my girls, who don't warm up to strangers quickly!”
“Kenine was great during a 2 night stay with our dog who can be a bit difficult with new people. She was patient with him while he acclimated and she was very communicative with us. I definite recommend Kenine and will use her again”
“Maria is such an amazing sitter. She has a warm, kind and caring personality! That's why Bailey lover her. Provided regular updtes and pictures. Will definitely hire her again Thank you Maria!.”
About: From long walks to slow sniffy adventures, I’m happy to match your dog’s vibe. I’m easygoing, reliable, and love getting to know each dog’s personality. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority—and I’ll send photo updates so you can see how they’re doing along the way 🐾 Right now, I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m typically available on Fridays and throughout the weekends; sometimes I am free during the weekdays outside 9-5. If you have any questions or a specific time in mind, feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate. I always prioritize safety, trust, and respect when caring for pets in your home. I follow all instructions carefully and treat everything with care. I do this work out of genuine love for animals and always treat each pet as if they were my own. I’m easy to communicate with and quick to respond, and I can send regular photo updates if you’d like.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - College Point
Lily Beth was a wonderful dog sitter\! 🐾❤️ I’ve used her services numerous times, and every experience has been great\. She’s reliable, caring, and someone I trust to take good care of my fur baby\. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and dependable dog sitter 💛💙♥️
Rose is absolutely amazing with my puppy! From the moment I met her, I could tell how genuinely caring and loving she is with dogs. Leaving my little guy with someone else can make me nervous, but Rose made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. She is so patient and attentive with him and treated him like he was her own. I really appreciated the updates and knowing that he is happy, safe, and getting lots of love while I am away. It means so much to find someone I can truly trust with my pup. I’m so happy we found Rose and will absolutely be booking with her again. I couldn’t recommend her enough! 🐾❤️
Katie was the best sitter I could have ever asked for. Extremely attentive to my kitten, communicative while I was traveling and took incredible care of Rupert. She sent daily videos, photos and updates. I cannot express how amazing she was, very thankful to have found her!
As always, Stephen was an amazing sitter for Una and for the house while we were away. He was communicative, responsive, and sent lots of cute pics to help us not miss our little Una too much. Stephen’s the best there is, and we’re always so grateful for his kind, thoughtful approach. We’ll definitely rebook in the future!
Shweta was amazing!! She house sat for my dog for the weekend, and I came home to a spotless apartment and, most importantly, a very happy dog. She took him on plenty of walks, sent me lots of pictures and updates, and was super communicative the entire time I was away. She also helped take care of my turtles and made sure they were fed, which I really appreciated. It was clear she took great care of everyone and the apartment while I was gone. I would absolutely love to use shweta again!!!
I cannot say enough good things about Kamryn. She took excellent care of my kitties and I have many spoiled princesses and a prince. My house was immaculate when I returned home, my kitties were happy, she sent daily photos and was so responsive to their every need. I will absolutely book her services again and you would be very lucky to have her take care of your precious fur babies and/or house.
Tenzin is absolutely amazing - a hero and a lifesaver, truly can't say enough good things. She took care of two high-needs dogs (one is a a senior dog with multiple medical issues, the other has severe separation anxiety) while I was out of the country for a week. The older dog developed new symptoms just a few days before I left, and I almost canceled the trip, but Tenzin's experience and competence made me feel secure enough to go, and she kept up a constant flow of information and photos, so I knew the pups were well and happy!
Lilly was a great at-home sitter for my 4 month old puppy, Lila! Lilly tended to Lila’s needs, was affectionate with her, and was very responsive with me. She also consistently sent me adorable photos of my Lila while she was with her. Lilly also kept my space very clean. I will definitely hire her again :)
Charlie was fantastic. I needed a last minute pet sitter and am so glad I found him. He had great communication, fast response time, and my dog loved him and I was able to enjoy my trip knowing she was being well cared for. I've used Rover before and it has been an up and down experience due to people initially agreeing and then not responding or cancelling days later. I'm really happy to have found Charlie and can't tell you how much I appreciated his quick and reliable communication.
I had Jason watch my two cats while I was away for a few days and I am very happy with the service provided. I came back to everything the way I left it and all the cats things clean and organized. I had multiple follow ups and photos sent to me by Jason throughout the service. I would highly recommend and will definitely be booking with Jason moving forward!!
Syeda was great, she was able to take care of my home, keep my cats company while I was away. I was very satisfied with her service and I highly recommend booking her for you house sitting and cat care needs. Thanks so much for taking care of my home and cats. Your service allowed me to travel and not worry about my home. I’m very thankful. Lisa ✨

The average cost of House Sitting in College Point is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $98 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred College Point walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in College Point maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in College Point choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
