“Gail was a blessing during a stressful time! She stayed with our beloved cat for two weeks while we were abroad and was so lovely to deal with. Our cat is precious and she knows it, and she doesn't always snuggle up to just anyone, but she did with Gail! It was such a relief to know that Gail was there to give our cat the best company, as she always likes her people to be around, and Gail quickly became one of her people. Gail was kind and patient with our girl and her picky eating habits, attentive, and provided consistent updates with photos and funny connection anecdotes. And as a cherry on top, Gail was an excellent and respectful houseguest. Look no further — choose Gail to stay with your furbabies!!”
“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.”
“Rachelle was amazing. Excellent communication, updates and pictures. She followed our directions exactly and is a gem! We are so grateful to have found such an attentive sitter.”
“Evangelia was amazing with my Pittie Mauna. She took such good care of him while I was away and was so communicative the entire time. I absolutely loved getting all of the great photos and videos while I was gone. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly treats your pets like they are her own and will definitely be booking with her again!! Thank you so much I know Mauna will miss you!”
“So grateful to Siaira for watching our Alfred while we were out of town! It gave us such peace of mind to know our cat and our home were in good hands. Siaira was super friendly, trustworthy, and communicative - all of which we very much appreciated! I would highly recommend her petsitting services!”
“Kier is simply one of the best I’ve had. He has stayed over for more than a week watching my dog and will take her out multiple times a day and sends lots of pictures and updates about it. He’s very enthusiastic and I can tell from his updates he genuinely just loves spending time with my dog, it’s heartwarming to get all his updates every day. Can’t recommend him enough.”
“Christina was a dependable, responsible sitter for our pets and took great care of them and our apartment for a weekend. She stepped in on short notice, asked thoughtful questions, provided thorough daily updates and demonstrated care when taking our dog for walks. Everything in the apartment was as we left it and the pets were happy and without stress on our return!”
“Danny was amazing, truly! Communicative while I was traveling but not overbearing. Sent photos of places that are FAR from my apartment, so I loved knowing that my dog was getting good, long, solid walks. Place was tidy, thorough dog sitting recap was sent - I felt so good coming home, and have used Rovers in the past where that wasn't the case!”
“Isaiah was such an attentive and responsive sitter. They loved my girls and watched over them just as we would, and I’m so eternally grateful to have been able to book them. They sent many pictures and updates on our 3 day trip, which made it so much easier to lay back and relax while away from the babies. I will definitely be booking them again in the future and truly could not recommend you book with them enough. Thanks so much Iggy! <3”
“Meaghan was wonderful with our little puppy. You could tell that she loves animals and that she knew how to handle a first time meeting without causing the dog unnecessary anxiety. That allowed us to leave feeling secure that Maisie was in good hands!”
“Em did a wonderful job caring for Ollie. They were communicative, responsible, and flexible when I was unexpectedly delayed getting home. Ollie seemed to have a wonderful time and I’d be thrilled to have them watch him again in the future.”
“Cailey was wonderful with our pup! She was very attentive and went above and beyond to make sure our pup was taken care of. She also provided us with daily updates. Will be using Cailey again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East New York
Chiara was great, sent lots of content everyday, was communicative, was polite, kept our house clean and our pets well loved. I cannot recommend her enough, she went above and beyond. She's amazing, we'll be asking her to sit again. Oh btw, we were gone for 8 days. She crushed it.
Halley is amazing!!! Very kind and caring to my kitty and communicative and patient with me. I saw the connection right away when she visited for a meet and greet, my boy was instantly comfortable with her. She's very responsible, goes the extra mile, and truly understands the bitter sweet challenge of leaving your fur baby behind while you go out into the world and away from your furry family member for extended time. She provides great regular written and photo updates that bring instant relief and happiness to a doting pet parent's heart, making check-in a breeze so you can go on enjoying your time away and know your baby is in very good, capable hands without having to wonder. l's recommend Halley to anyone!! ❤️😻
Tess was incredible. She sent multiple photos everyday, was super communicative, left our apartment super clean (even brought our packages in) and updated us everyday! Our kitties are shyer but through the many pics we could tell they felt super comfortable and safe with her. We already hired her for another 10 day trip and we can’t recommend her enough!
We had some extenuating circumstances for our home while we were away and Alexander handled the extra stress and management of those issues while sitting for our pups seamlessly and lovingly, like he always does. He is extra reliable and thoughtful and competent! Why he is our regular sitter.
Kameron is amazing! Was able to schedule last minute after another sitter cancelled and was extremely communicative and clear. She took excellent care of my high needs puppy and left my place in immaculate condition. Kameron was a joy to work with and I couldn't recommend her more!
As always, Miller keeps me up to date on Theo’s activities. Eating, playing, using the box, and sending lots of cute pics. It makes being away from my baby so much more tolerable! And, Theo always seems to be brighter, happier, and healthier on my return. Miller knows cats… I’m a very happy repeat customer (and so is Theo).

FAQs for House Sitting - East New York
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in East New York on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 19,016 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East New York. 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 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.
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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East New York. On Rover:
- 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.
