“Eva was so great with our pets. We know it can be a lot to have 3 high energy pets in an NYC apartment but she took such incredible care of them. They were happy and relaxed when we got back! She was also so flexible when our flight was canceled and we had to stay out of town an extra day—it was seriously such a relief to know that even though our travel experience was awful, the bebes were in good hands! 10/10.”
“Michelle was available last minute for us and did a fantastic job. We left our pups in a hotel in the city and she came and hung out with them so we could go see a show. Thanks Michelle!”

“I booked Avary to house sit for me while I was on a work trip for a few days. Avary was super responsive and provided detailed updates and lot of photos! I had a lot of peace of mind knowing Duncan would be in good hands while I was gone.”
“Gabby is the beeeeest! Do yourself a favor and book her! She's the sweetest, most communicative sitter I've had. My girl and house were just as I left them. Will definitely book her again!!”
“Amazing sitter!!! Schirn stayed with our elderly fur babies and took incredible care of them and our apartment while we were on vacation. We were in constant communication (but not too much!) before the stay, during, and after we got back home to make sure we settled back in okay. Upon meeting Schirn, you and your pets will immediately be at ease because she is a pro- comforting, reliable, trustworthy and truly goes above and beyond. The daily pictures and updates showed our pets were happy and when we got home we could tell they were very well taken care of. I highly, highly, highly recommend Schirn for picky pet parents!”

“Nobody gets as many butt wiggles from Pip as Evangelia!! Thank you for always going the extra mile to look after Pips! Forever communicative and so.willimg to give our dog the best care, Evangelia is the greatest.”
“Miranda is the best!!! She was happy todo a meet & greet as my dog Bernie can be a bit anxious but she took to Miranda’s calm and friendly demeanor right away. Bernie had the absolute best week going on adventures and walks with Miranda and she took great care of my apartment as well. Highly recommend!!! After my flight home was canceled and I couldn’t get back for another day, Miranda was a huge lifesaver by being able to add an extra night on.”

Siaira was super friendly, trustworthy, and communicative - all of which we very much appreciated! I would highly recommend her petsitting services!”
“Chelsea is a great sitter and I will be using her again. Her companion, Toby is also a wonderful little pup who helped calm my pups down. I don't know if you can call a dog a professional, but I can say that about Chelsea. She took our girls on nice long walks, sent plenty of pictures, and made sure we knew they were well taken care of.”
“Erik was great and responsive, given the short notice on my end. He was punctual and provided updates with my Evie. Would absolutely recommend and book again. Thanks!”

Looking forward to booking her for our next trip.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East New York
Haley was amazing taking care of Luna while I was traveling for the weekend! She was incredibly responsive and accommodating, and sent us lots of updates throughout the weekend, which gave us great peace of mind knowing Luna was happy and well taken care of. We had a great experience and would absolutely have Haley watch Luna again. Highly recommend!
Evangelia did an amazing job caring for our 5 cats! We loved the daily updates with photos and videos showing just how much fun they were having together, and how much trust she built with them. We returned home to a spotless apartment and some very content babies, which we appreciated very much. We would absolutely have her back in the future!
Faith is the best! She came to my home to watch my 4-month-old puppy and everything went smoothly. She's reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. She sent regular updates and photos throughout, and her professionalism and experience put me completely at ease. We'll definitely book Faith again!
Halie was amazing with our cats! Ringo even did biscuits on her that’s how comfortable they felt! She was very communicative and sent us a bunch of pictures throughout the time we were gone. She left the apartment spotless. We would absolutely use Halie again :)
Alex was absolutely phenomenal with taking care of our dog and home. Being a senior frenchie with a sensitive tummy, Alex rolled with whatever Lex was dealing with and was so helpful and communicative. Sent as many pictures as we wanted and more! He also was able to be flexible with staying at our home an extra day due to travel issues with weather. Alex was so reliable, kept our house cleaner than we do, and genuinely seemed to care about Lex like a friend! Would recommend to anyone who needs some help, even in a pinch like us. Thank you Alex!!!!
Kimora was wonderful with Lo and I felt very comfortable having her stay with him while I was away. Lo can be a little particular and is also reactive around other dogs, and she was very attentive to his routine, his needs, and all of the instructions I left for her. She kept me updated throughout the stay and communicated with me immediately when an unexpected situation came up, which I really appreciated. What meant the most to me was how patient and caring she was with Lo. He became comfortable with her very quickly, and I could tell he felt safe and loved while I was gone. She was also very receptive anytime I checked in or gave additional direction, and I never felt like I couldn’t communicate openly with her. Traveling and leaving your dog behind can be stressful, especially when they have a few extra quirks, but Kimora made the experience much easier for me. I would absolutely feel comfortable having her care for Lo again and hope we can continue using her in the future. 🤎🐾

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 East New York 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 East New York 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 East New York 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 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 .
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.
