About: I’ve raised and trained my dog for 9 years. I have also pet sit for people in my neighborhood. I have pet sit young puppy’s and older dogs and love them all. I am very good at reading dogs cues and adjusting to their needs accordingly. I enjoy catering to each dogs needs and building a walk routine that works for them individually. I am currently taking online asynchronous college courses so I have great flexibility in scheduling and am available Sun-Fri, morning, afternoon and night! I love taking walks and hiking with my dog, and I would love to provide this service for others. I am very attentive and notice dogs moods, needs and wants. I’ve had my dog for 9 years and can read cues easily and learn other dogs cues like I have in the past, quickly.

About: • I worked at the Howard beach animal clinic as a veterinary assistant where I assisted veterinarians with vaccine administration, blood draws, and wellness checks for both cats and dogs. I also learned how to administer medication to dogs/cats, give cpr to dogs specifically, handle hyperactive, anxious, and/or aggressive dogs/cats, and work with all kinds of breeds ranging from chihuahuas to Great Danes. • Before that, I gained experience working with dogs by volunteering at nyc pet services in Astoria, where I took care of many different kinds of dogs by supervising the area and ensuring all dogs were happy and safe. • My love for animals started with my golden Labrador and poodle at age 5, then at age 12 I got a Maltese whom I’ve grown up with and is now 16 years old. My experience not only includes dogs and cats of different breeds and sizes but also temperament, behavior, and personality. All of this experience has taught me how to read dogs and cats better, know when to approach sensitive dogs, and the best way to interact with said sensitive dogs. I can accept same day request due to my very flexible schedule, because of my flexible schedule I can focus on your pets happiness! I will have plenty of time to take them out on long walks for exercise, play time, and feedings. I love to spend time with dogs and cats, they truly make my day so much better! If it’s too hot out we can have play time indoors with some nice AC and play with some enrichment puzzles! I can assure your best friend will be in good hands and I’ll take care of them as if they were my own. I live in a pet friendly building, I’m on the first floor so your pets can enjoy jumping and running as much as they want! I have a park nearby where we can enjoy long walks and play time. A large living room that they can explore and take comfy naps. I can also make them tasty treats if you’d like! I have a small senior Maltese, she’s 16 years old and enjoys taking many naps but will still love to make new friends. She’s very chill due to her age so you can rest assured that your pups will be safe, but if you’d rather them be separated I have a divider that will ensure that! My priority is that both the owner and pup are comfortable and happy :)

About: Growing up, I had the joy of loving and caring for an 80-pound, goofy, American Pitt Bull Terrier, named Meryn. Throughout my high school years, he was my constant companion, playing catch at the East River Park on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. We would jog across the Williamsburg Bridge and run up and down the stairwell in my apartment building to burn off energy (we lived on the 11th floor). He was an incredibly curious boy, who made training fun. He was very motivated by treats and praise. Through repetition and treats he learned all the basic commands. I have petsat many times for family members over the years. Pets included are dogs (large and small breeds) cats, hamsters, and a bearded dragon once. My longest dogsitting experience lasted 3 weeks with my aunt’s pug, Coco Rico, while my aunt was on vacation. During this time, Rico had an ear infection and I had to administer his ear drops. Being a pug, I had to ensure his eyes and face folds were clean. I have catsit for my brother’s diabetic cat, Tuna Fish, on several occasions. I administered insulin injections daily. I learned how to measure the proper dosage and how to safely/comfortably give her the injections. She was diagnosed with diabetes in 2020, so it was not easy learning how to give a cat a shot via a Zoom call with the vet! But learning this and helping my brother with the insulin injections, kept Tuna going for 4 more years after diagnosis. This is by far the most medical care experience I have had with pets. Nowadays, I regularly borrow my Gen Z daughter’s dog, Espresso. He’s a Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix, and my favorite little guy. My grandpup, if you will. With this past winter being a very cold one in NYC, I ensured to dress Espresso in his sweater, coat, and boots for his walks. I do photo shoots with him while on walks, during play time, and naps. I update her with anecdotes throughout the day, such as mentioning any puppy pals we ran into while out and anything funny or adorable he’s done. She even recently said to me, “You take the most wonderful pictures of him.” That truly warmed my heart because I love capturing him in different places and poses. My pet baby now is an American short hair cat with calico patterned fur, named Basil (aka Ms. Lady Boop Boop). She’s a 16 year old, still feisty gal, who has a favorite fishy toy that dangles from a wand. Being a senior, she has developed arthritis in her old age and now makes use of cushioned stairs to get on the couch/bed. She also needs an eye ointment, the application of which has become part of our daily routine. In the past, when she has been ill, I've also given her medicine in liquid form via syringe as well as getting her to swallow a pill. Additionally, I took care of a feral cat that would visit me now and then. My family has a home in Albany, in upstate New York, and I'm happy to board dogs up there for weekends or extended stays should a pet parent allow it. The feral cat that would visit me was in Albany and would appear randomly in our backyard. I fed and watered him whenever he came by. He was deaf and the sweetest guy, who loved rubs and to hang out on our deck. He had an extra digit on each front paw, so I dubbed him Thumbs. One day, when he visited, I noticed immediately that he had fleas on him. I gave him a bath a kiddy tub in my backyard with flea shampoo. I bought the flea comb and collar and got rid of those pesky bugs. I know he was grateful because he'd been scratching so hard, his fur was missing in some places. I am a visual artist and writer, working from home, so my weekdays are flexible. I set my own schedule working on my projects so I can easily accommodate different pet types and time slots for care. I occasionally travel to my family home in Albany, upstate New York, but I always plan that ahead of time and I am happy to board pets up there if the pet parent is open to that option. I live in a 2-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn, NYC. I am located on the 3rd (and top) floor of a walk-up building. I have a senior, female cat, who is very relaxed and sleeps most of the day. There is no outdoor space here, but there are local parks nearby, including a dog run. I also have a house upstate, in Albany, NY. There is plenty of space for running around here, including a backyard. We are currently having a fence put in and I will update this when it is installed.

Xiaoying is literally the best person for the job. She went up and above with caring for our 3 kitties. It was our first trip away and for a 2 week period so we were very nervous about leaving them alone. We have a 17yr old male senior cat with specific dietary needs and two 4 yr old male and female cats who need lots of play and attention. We booked her for the morning and evening and she played with them, fed them and cleaned their litter boxes. Our lil Luna is very wary of strangers but she loved Xiaoying and even gave her head bumps. We received detailed reports and so many pictures which we loved! The best sitter!!!

About: Hello, my name is Bianca I am currently a senior in high school. I have a cat named Cleo she is 13 years old now, I got her was she was just a baby from a family friend. At first she was shy and would pee on everything, but she was my birthday present and my favorite person in the world so with patience and love I cared for her when my parents were ready to get rid of her. Now Cleo is an calm cat, who loves to be pet by everyone and I think that’s because of the patience and care that I showed her. Every morning when I wake up at 7:00 am and I feed my cat. At around 7:20 am I go to the gym for around 1 hour and come back home around 10:00 am. I feed my cat some treats and refill her water at 12:00pm. Her next feeding time is 5:00pm. I have a indoor cat, she eats twice daily but sleeps most of the day. She sleeps in a air conditioned room, with 2 blankets.

About: My family has had dogs for the past 8 years. I also have 3 years of dog-sitting experience with a variety of dogs, including some with special needs. I'm very comfortable adapting to each dog's personality and routine. I'm new to the city and work remotely, so I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home. I'd love to explore the city with your dog, whether that's neighborhood walks, park visits, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, house rules, and favorite activities. I know that pets are often most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I focus on providing plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while respecting their normal routine.

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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

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

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.

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 Forest Hills 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.
