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.
“Victoria did a great job taking care of my cat and 7 week old kitten while I was away. She is very reliable and caring. I appreciated the pictures and updates with how they were doing after every visit. I definitely recommend using her.”
“Jessica is wonderful. She came prepared to our meet and greet with questions and notes and she always responds quickly when you send her a message. She followed all feeding and medication instructions. My kitty was in great hands and was so calm when I came home. Will definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Andrea was amazing! She immediately put me at ease when we met her, asked all of the right questions and was so sweet to our two cats. I appreciated Andrea's thorough communication while we were gone (and she even sent me a note the day before we left confirming timing for the next day, which I really appreciate!) She was on-time for our visits and sent lots of info and photos. I will definitely book Andrea to watch our cats again! Thanks Andrea <3”
About: I have owned animals my whole life and cared for them. I attended an animal science program for two years where I cared for dogs of all sizes and ages. My duties included walking, feeding, bathing, nail and fur trimming, and cleaning kennels. I have also pet sat for friends and family for 4 years taking care of both cats and dogs. I am currently a full time student but I do a mix of in person and virtual classes and take a light course load so I have plenty of time to fit pet care into my schedule. I can easily crate pets if needed, I am good at calming down animals in distress. I can also administer medication and follow special diets as needed.
About: I have three years of experience caring for a dog and understand the importance of routine, patience, and clear communication. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, basic training reinforcement, and attentive care for dogs of different ages and temperaments. I’ currently working as a part time, but I do have school at night time till 9:30pm. However, I have day off on weekends, so I can arrange my schedule. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a calm, clean, and supervised environment. I follow all routines, handle pets gently, and send regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is well cared for.
“So professional, so gentle, so communicative. Xiaoying was kind enough to stop by before a meet and greet before she looked after Velvet for a view days. I was really grateful for the opportunity to show her everything and Velvet liked her immediately. This experience was so easy and made me feel so safe. She sent so many pictures and kept Velvet so entertained while we were away. Absolutely will hire her again.”
About: I have experience taking care of my own cat and dog. I am used to the daily routines of a pet, such as feeding, cleaning, play and company. I am a responsible, patient and careful person. I like to follow the instructions of each owner to respect the schedules, habits and needs of each pet. I also feel comfortable walking friendly dogs and making home visits to feed them, accompany them and make sure they are well. I have flexible availability during the week and on weekends. I can organize my schedule for walks and home visits, and I like to dedicate enough time to each pet so that it feels accompanied and well taken care of. I always carefully follow the instructions of each owner and respect the routine of each pet. I make sure they have water, food, walks and company, and I maintain constant communication with photos and updates during the service.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 5 years, including my family dog and family friends’. I love going on walks, bathing, and feeding dogs. I know some tricks to give them medicine if needed. I’m working part-time on Saturdays, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your fur baby throughout the week. I don’t have any time restraints, so feel free to rely on me. I know how to crate dogs, regardless of age, and have a lot of patience since I’ve babysat toddlers before too. I know not all dogs are the same and wait for them to approach first unless there’s an emergency.
“Sin Ying is wonderful with cats! My cat is very shy and cautious around strangers, but he warmed up to her surprisingly well and was comfortable interacting with her. She was also great at administering his medication and inhaler, Really appreciated how patient and gentle she was with him. Absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter!”
“Zoe took care of our little kittens like they were her own! She was always on time and sent us so many wonderful photos and videos that put our minds at ease. She followed all of our instructions to the letter and the kittens loved hanging out with her! We will definitely be having Zoe come back to watch our precious little fur babies.”
About: I had a dog growing up, so I have some experience taking care of dogs. I love animals and enjoy spending time with them. I am patient, responsible, and happy to help care for your pets. I’m usually free Sunday through Tuesday, so those days work best for me. I work part-time on the other days, but I may still be available depending on my schedule. I’m happy to work out a time that works for both of us. I had a dog when I was younger, and I enjoy being around animals. I’ll follow your instructions when caring for your pet and make sure they have food, water, and a safe place to stay. I’ll treat your pet like I would my own.
About: I treat every dog and puppy like family! I’m loving, patient, and always ready for walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of belly rubs and cuddles! It’s something that I’d like to do, if It’s possible to do it everyday and meet new cuddly friends, I’d love to have that opportunity to help! I’ll make sure they get comfortable with me and that they aren’t scared or timid. That isn’t what I’m there for, I want the pets to know that I am there to care for them so they can have fun!
About: I treat every dog like family. I'm energetic, dependable, and full of golden retriever energy, I'll keep your pup safe, active, loved, and happy every visit. I work a hybrid Monday–Thursday schedule, so I can provide walks before and after work. On weekends, I have plenty of time for extra walks, playtime, and cuddles. I love having animal companionship and making sure every pet feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a fenced yard where your dog will be able to run around. I also have a crate (if needed), water bowl, and feeding bowl for when your dog is staying over.
About: Hi, I'm Maria! I adore dogs and cats! I've been walking and sitting dogs for over 13 years and a professional pet photographer for 8 years. I grew up with lots of cats and dogs, and I volunteered at an animal hospital while in college. Today, I have a friendly female creme Shiba Inu, Lula. I offer 1/2-hour or full-hour dog walks and pets sitting in the Whitestone and Beechhurst areas of Queens. I will take your puppy to the park for a stroll, a dog park or just around your area - whatever you prefer. Dogs in my trust for walks are NEVER left alone or unsupervised. I always "clean up" after dogs in my care and keep them on the leash unless, with your permission, we go to a secure fenced dog park. Whatever your instructions I will make sure they are followed exactly as you request. I'm a punctual, responsible, and respectful person who loves dogs. I will take good care of your puppy as if they were my own. I will make sure they feel comfortable and receive plenty of attention and affection during their stay with me! As a lifelong owner of dogs and cats, providing a consistent schedule of daily care, feeding, walks, and affection comes naturally to me and my schedule. I provide care, feeding, clean up and affection as instructed. I'm also happy to follow any other instructions that may be specific to each pet.
“Jose always provides top notch care when we need help with our four legged kids. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a wonderfully compassionate and reliable sitter. Every time we’ve relied on help from Jose, we’ve been beyond pleased and grateful to have his support when we can’t be home with the fur babies. Can’t say enough about the gift of freedom to leave home and the piece of mind Jose has provided our family when we’ve needed to be gone. Thank you again so very much for the help, Jose! We’re infinitely grateful!!!”
About: I’m a passionate and experienced pet care professional with over 10 years of experience in veterinary care and years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I believe every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while making your pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, as well as cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, relaxing on the couch, getting belly rubs, or simply having someone nearby, I take the time to learn what makes your pet happy. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy. I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care, making sure they receive consistent attention, exercise, meals, bathroom breaks, playtime, and companionship. I communicate with each pet parent ahead of time so I can understand their routine and make sure I can provide the level of care their pet needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. During our meet-and-greet, I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, feeding instructions, medications, personality, comfort level, and any special needs. We’ll also go over important information about your home, including where supplies are located and any household rules or areas that are off-limits. I understand that caring for a pet often means being trusted with someone’s home as well. I respect my clients’ privacy, property, instructions, and boundaries, and I treat every home with care and respect.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Flushing
Lawrence is an exceptional pet sitter and is a clear and effective communicator. He was patient with our shy cat and explained in detail his plan to make her comfortable. By his third visit our girl was clearly obsessed with him! He has a special way with animals and it’s evident in the way he cares for them. We would book with him every time if possible!
Siyu is wonderful! She’s very thoughtful and detail-oriented, and always makes sure everything is taken care of and in order. My two senior cats love her, which means so much to me and gives me peace of mind whenever I’m away. I really appreciate how reliable and caring she is. I’m so glad I found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great cat sitter!
Rachel was so kind and patient with our young puppy! Our puppy is still learning and doing all the typical puppy things, and she handled everything really well. We really appreciated her patience and understanding as our little one continues to learn and grow 🙂
My skittish shy cats were very comfortable with Kathryn, which is very unusual for them! I think this is a testament to Kathryn's patience and pet sitting skills :) Kathryn was absolutely lovely to work with and gave me thorough daily updates. She would be my first choice as a pet sitter the next time I need one.
We’re so grateful to Angie for looking after our little Moylan! ❤️ She took such great care of him, making sure he was fed, played with, and given plenty of attention. She kept us updated with lovely pictures and messages throughout, which gave us such peace of mind. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. We’re so thankful she was able to mind Moylan and would recommend Angie 100% to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet!
We have booked Charlie to watch over our two cats twice already and will continue to do so. He is very attentive to their needs. When we returned home, their bowls were washed and spotless, the floor was swept and also spotless. He even offered to water our plants. He truly cares about your pet and we know that our cats are left in excellent hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Flushing is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 27,661 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Flushing. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Flushing. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
