About: I have experience caring for and grooming pets with patience, attention to detail and genuine love for animals. I am comfortable handling pets with different personalities and needs. I am able ti provide pet care services full-time, with flexible availability throughout the week. I can accommodate different schedules and am happy to work with pet owners to find a time that works best for them and their pets. My apartment is clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with access to a private rear backyard where pets can relax and enjoy some outdoor time. I also have a beautiful large park by the water nearby, which is perfect for taking dogs on long walks and giving them plenty of exercise and fresh air. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where your pets can feel right at home.
“Razan has watched Poe twice now and has been wonderful both times! She is very friendly, patient, and sweet with him as he warms up to her. She sends great photo updates during the stay which I really appreciate! She is also comfortable giving Poe his medication, feeding him, and taking him on walks. Very reliable and flexible. I will definitely book Razan again!”
“Lenin is very professional, followed instructions to a tee, and let us enjoy our vacation in peace knowing our animals were being loved and cared for. Would definitely recommend and will be using again.”
“Omg! If you could have a wishlist of a perfect Housesitter/Dogwalker it would be Becca! She bailed us out last minutes and now will be our go to person for ever!!!!”
“Jeff was a fantastic pet sitter for our 2 German shepherds while we were away for a few days! We could tell from the photos and videos he sent that they were absolutely loving him! Jeff was super communicative both before and during the stay, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! 10/10 would love to have Jeff look after the dogs again in the future!”
“Vanessa was great with our dog and guinea pig while my family was away. She was communicative, sent pictures and videos, followed all our instructions and took great care of our house . We will definitely use her again.”
“Megan was great with Louie! She was punctual, followed his schedule, sent a photo update, and played with him regularly. I came home to a very happy puppy. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I treat every dog like my own, taking the time to understand their personality, needs and little quirks while making every walk fun and safe! I am available most of the time with a flexible schedule. I also work part time but I’m happy to coordinate around your pup’s needs! I provide a safe, clean and comfortable environment while following each pet’s routine and individual needs. I give them consistent attention, supervision, exercise, and care
“Maya is amazing!!!! My dogs have never been left with anyone, so I was very nervous. She had so much patience with my babies! She sent me pictures and kept me updated. I highly recommend her, especially if you have never left your babies with anyone. She is such a wonderful!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have cared for breeds of all sizes. Most recently, I was the primary caregiver to my 2 huskies for the last 6 years, raising them since they were babies, so I am comfortable with crate training, commands, walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and daily care. I have also spent time volunteering at animal shelters before so I’m very comfortable around new dogs with different types of energy. I currently work part-time, remotely so my schedule is very flexible. I am dependable for all your pet needs from daily drop-ins to overnight care. I am comfortable and confident in following your instructions for pet care. I have experience with crate training, feeding schedules, daily walks, and commands for dogs of all sizes and ages.
“Dani was a wonderful sitter for our cats and dog. She was very responsible, sent us lots of great photos, and kept our pets very happy and healthy. She also took great care of our home. I highly recommend her!”
“Kurt had a wonderful time with Rose. She’s a truly caring and reliable sitter. Rose went above and beyond to ensure Kurt was happy and well-cared for. We felt completely at ease knowing Kurt was in Rose’s capable hands. Don’t look for another sitter: Rose is the one you need. A thousand times thank you, Rose.”
“Karaline was amazing—everything you’d want in a sitter! She was very communicative with all of Luna’s daily exploits—keeping us updated on her habits and sending lots of pictures. She left everything super clean and offered to go above and beyond. We would book again in a heartbeat!”
“JJ was awesome with our pets. Lots of love and attention for our dog and cat plus the house was taken care of. Will definitely book again on our next trip. Thanks JJ for all your help!”
“This was our first time hiring someone to stay with our pup and Andrea was a godsend! Not only was she amazing with our dog, but she was in constant communication with us while we were away. We felt comfortable having her in our house and know that our dog had the BEST time with her. Any time we travel we are booking Andrea!”
“We had a great experience with Anita. She stayed at our apartment for around 10 days while we were abroad. We got many photo and video updates from her which showed how happy the dogs were. She took them on adventures to the park and cuddled and slept with them in our bed. She is friendly and jovial, and was respectful of our home - we would love to book her again next time we travel. Her pricing was fair, and most importantly our dogs were loved on the whole time we were gone. 10/10 recommend!”
“Kate did in-home sitting for me and took care of my clingy, jumpy dog, Millie. The whole time I was away I felt completely comfortable knowing Kate was taking care of Millie; she asked questions before I left about how to make sure Millie was comfortable, and ended up doing two separate meet & greets with us before I left. Kate was also incredibly respectful of the apartment and my things. Would highly recommend Kate and will definitely be using her again!”
“Isis is awesome! She was highly communicative, sent photos periodically, and was flexible when I had a last minute schedule change. My dog felt so comfortable with her and I will definitely book her again!”

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 ✨
Daniela was great, very reliable and updated me regularly with the pups' pics. She took great care of them and had previously taken note of all relevant details at our meet and greet. Also, the house was spotless when we came back. Would totally recomend Daniela to take care of your pups and your home!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in College Point on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 19,250 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across College Point. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
