I’m good at caring for cats and dogs of different personalities and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, so I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication instructions, and any special care they require. I’m also very attentive to changes in a pet’s behavior and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. My schedule is fairly flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m especially flexible during weekdays and can usually accommodate different schedules with advance notice. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. In my client’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, litter box care, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of your home and always make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave.

About: I have two cats at home in Michigan who I love dearly and take care of: cleaning litter boxes, feeding, playing, etc. I also grew up with medium-sized dogs, love dogs oh so much, and have experience with their care as well: taking outside, going on walks, feeding, playing, etc. In my couple of months on here, I have already had the pleasure of taking care of many pets and am so grateful to have some repeat clients! I can’t wait to get to know more NYC pets!!! I love animals with every bone in my body :) I am a barista almost full-time and an aspiring actor, so auditions are a heavy part of my schedule. Shorter tasks and small drop-in visits are best for me! I typically work either 6:30-1 or 12:30-7:30 5 days a week, usually having Tuesdays and Wednesdays off. Let me know what works for you! I love pets and treat them with so much love and care. There is nothing more special to me than the love of an animal, and I will do anything needed to keep their routine consistent and fun!
About: Cat dad of over 20 years making sure my pets are happy, healthy, safe and clean. Lover of all animals and so my due diligence to make sure they are happy. Available on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays. I work full time but have a flexible schedule outside of it. Currently do not live with my own pet so my attention will be turned toward your fur baby. I approach animal care very gently, making sure they're comfortable with me. Always bring treats to make that process easier. I make sure they are properly fed, groomed, and area cleaned to make that comfort a priority.
“Our cat Dewey was in great hands with Devon, who did drop-in visits over a few days. Devon was communicative and gave us a lot of confidence that Dewey was being well looked after: highly recommend her as a sitter!”
About: I’ve spent over a year working full-time as a dog walker in Lower West Manhattan, caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities in every kind of weather. My experience handling energetic puppies, shy or reactive pets, and calm senior animals has taught me patience, confidence, and clear communication. I bring reliability, consistency, and genuine care to every visit, ensuring each pet feels safe, understood, and loved. I work full-time Monday through Friday until 4 pm, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting weeknights as well as all day on weekends and holidays. I’m currently looking to take clients only in the Astoria and Long Island City area, so I can stay close and provide consistent, reliable care. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have plenty of fresh water, and get regular walks tailored to their energy level and needs. I’m also comfortable managing medications, whether it’s pills, drops, or simple supplements, and I always follow your instructions carefully.
“This is our second time having Ashley watch our cats and she is the best! She follows our instructions perfectly and always spends time with our babies. They love her so much!”
About: I've cared for both dogs and cats my whole life-- I've never lived without a pet! I also have experience as a volunteer caretaker through my local animal shelter, and a deep passion for animal welfare and happiness. I work part-time and am a part-time student, so please check my calendar for availability. I have class from 4-9pm Tuesday & Wednesday and my work schedule is typically the day shift on Monday and Thursday. Again, if there are any deviances, I will mark them on the calendar! I'm happy to let your pet set the pace-- if they're a cuddle bug, I'll give them snuggles, and if they need some time to warm up, I'll sit quietly while they get used to me. If your puppy feels the need for speed, I'll take him on a sprightly jog, but if your senior prefers to take the scenic route, we can stop and sniff every tree. I'll listen to your instructions and preferences and theirs.

“Just perfect! She is awesome. Communication is always on point, she is very reliable, knows what she is doing, and you can tell she has a passion for it. My dog tends to be shy around new people and Lia made sure to give her space and not overwhelmed her during the first visit, and I couldn’t believe my eyes she LOVED HER right away, when leaving for the walk Beba didn’t even look back! Honestly, best experience I’ve had so far throughout the years. Will be definitely rebooking with her!!! Recommend Lia to any other pet parents out there. She’s the best!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Elmhurst
Emily has been Coco’s regular dog walker for quite some time, and we truly could not have asked for someone better. She is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, communicative, and most importantly, genuinely cares about Coco. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that when we were at work, Coco was with someone we completely trusted. Emily was always dependable, kept us updated after their walks, and treated Coco like she was her own. Coco absolutely loves her, which says everything! We’re only parting ways because Emily received an amazing full-time opportunity, otherwise we would happily have kept her as Coco’s walker for years to come. Anyone who has the opportunity to have Emily care for their pet will be incredibly lucky. We’re going to miss her so much and can’t recommend her highly enough. ❤️🐾
Booked Charlie for a last minute 1 hour drop-in visit, due to unexpected/urgent appointments that took me out for the day. My pup is a recently adopted rescue with some reactivity and other idiosyncrasies, and I wasn’t comfortable leaving her with an unknown boarder or daycare. I was upfront about Lala’s issues-in-progress and Charlie was gracious, accommodating and communicative. During the hour-long visit, he sent plenty of photos and met my pup where she was at. Visit went smoothly and I was able to focus on my rather stressful day without having to worry too much about her. Thanks again.
Kiana was fantastic with my dogs! She was super flexible on short notice, set up a meet and greet right away, and asked all the right questions. One of my pups is a senior who requires several medications twice a day, and she handled his care seamlessly. She is trustworthy, kind, and took wonderful care of my dogs. Her communication was great throughout the entire stay. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again!
Vanessa was a sweetheart! This was my first time using this and she made me feel very comfortable and easy about this decision. She even came to introduce herself to me and Otis prior to the visit so I really appreciated that. And Otis loves her! That’s my favorite part! I’ll definitely be booking again.
I had a great experience with the nail trim service. She was incredibly responsible, professional, and patient throughout the entire visit. She handled everything with care and made sure my dog was comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated her attention to detail and reliability. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled pet caregiver!
I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She took such wonderful care of my dogs and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she treated them like their own, making sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Communication was great throughout, and I really appreciated the detailed updates. I came home to two very happy pups, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!
Raul did an excellent job pet sitting for Gunner. He made sure to follow instructions my husband and I gave him, which gave us a peace of mind. When something wasn’t completely clear, he checked in with me, I really appreciated that level of communication and care. It’s safe to say he’s doing a great job getting to know both us and Gunner, and we feel comfortable trusting him with our dog. Highly recommend!
Marcela did a wonderful job walking Beau and following instructions as he's still a puppy and training to walk. There is another puppy she walks in the apartment, but although we offered that she could walk Beau together with that puppy, she stated that she preferred to give each dog individual attention, which we were surpised by and appreciated. She took a lot of photos and videos, and we'd gladly ask Marcela to walk Beau again!
Debbie has been wonderful with our 3-month-old puppy and 2-year-old dachshunds! I was a little nervous with our pup being so young but Debbie put me at ease. She’s warm, reliable, professional, and follows directions so well. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing the dogs are getting love, attention, and great care while we’re at work. We’re so happy we found her 😊 Thanks Debbie! 🩷
Austin was a huge help during my first week with a new puppy. He came over twice in a short time in one day for food/potty/play breaks for my 10 week old puppy. He came by in the morning for a meet and greet too. He was on time for them, sent lots of photos/videos, and left a lot of information afterwards. Very professional. I will be hiring him again!
Fiona is amazing with my dog Goliath! He has special needs as he is a big dog and doesn’t play well with others but he loves her and she takes special care of him, bringing him treats and playing with him. She goes above and beyond what I could ask as a sitter. She comes to my home and takes care of him and I trust her completely!! She is always reliable. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Fadong was excellent!! I needed someone very last minute and reached out to several people early in the morning, and he replied immediately and assured me my boy would be in the best hands. And he meant it! He was very communicative, on time, and very attentive and loving with my Biggie. I am very happy with his care and highly recommend him to any other person looking for high quality care for their pups.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a East Elmhurst 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.
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 East Elmhurst 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!
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 .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in East Elmhurst with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
