About: Hi! I’m Huixian, a reliable and patient dog lover based in Bayside. I regularly spend time around dogs of all sizes and personalities and truly enjoy caring for them. I understand every dog is different—some are energetic, some are shy—and I always adjust my approach to make them feel safe and comfortable. Safety is my top priority. I stay alert during walks, use secure leashes, and carefully follow all your instructions. 📸 I also send photo updates every walk so you can feel at ease while you're away. I work full-time, but I’m available evenings and weekends and always make sure your dog gets the attention they deserve. ❤️ Monday - Friday: 7pm - 10pm Saturday: 4pm - 10pm Sunday: 12pm - 10pm I work full time but during my free time, I really enjoy taking long walks with my husband ❤ Your dog will spend a wonderful time with us! I focus on dog walking and always prioritize safety and comfort. I use secure leashes, stay alert to surroundings, and adjust each walk to your dog’s needs and energy level. I follow all owner instructions carefully and provide updates so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands.

Amanda was amazing with Flint! We had a pretty last minute situation and she came through for us with no hesitation. She was super attentive, communicative, and really took initiative during her drop-ins. She noticed things, checked in with us when needed, and went above and beyond without us having to ask. I felt comfortable knowing Flint was in good hands while we were away. Definitely someone I’ll be booking again in the future. Highly recommend Amanda!

Charlie has been amazing with my dog Oliver. He walks him during the day and is always reliable, attentive, and caring. I can tell Oliver genuinely enjoys his time with him, which gives me peace of mind while I’m busy. It’s not easy trusting someone with your dog, but Charlie makes it effortless. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and kind dog walker.

Christy was amazing with checking in on our cat Boo. My husband and I went on vacation for a week and we couldn’t take Boo with us. Usually when we go away we take him but this trip we couldn’t. Boo has to take a few different meds to take twice a day. Christy stepped up and took such great care of him. She sent us numerous photos and videos. She also checked in everyday, twice a day when she’d go over and take care of him. She spent time with Boo and played with him as well. Christy put us at such ease as far as how Boo is doing with us away. If we go away again and can’t take Boo we will definitely be reaching out to Christy again.

About: I'm a caring and responsible pet lover with hands-on experience caring for my own cat. I understand the importance of patience, safety, and giving each pet individual attention. Whether it's feeding, cleaning, playing, or simply keeping your pet company, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always communicate with owners to provide updates and peace of mind. Currently I work as a esthetician however my schedule is quite flexible so my time for pet care fit into my weekly routine quite easily. The first priority would be to ensure that the dog(s) are well leeched while on dog walks as well as well feed and have enough water. While at the clients house I was my create a safe environment by making sure doors are locked so the pups won't venture outside.

Thank you, Brianna, for taking care of my elderly cats for two weeks! Usually, when I leave them, they get upset and could pee all over and make a mess. At this time, I came back to the clean apartment, and my cats were healthy and cheerful 😻.

Jason always keeps me informed with daily updates, so I never have to worry. He truly cares for my pets as if they were his own and goes above and beyond in every way. I’m so grateful for his kindness and dedication, and I’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future.

About: Feathers, Fur, and Everything In Between Hey there! I’m Joanne, and I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals. My Experience: * Bird Mom: I’ve owned exotic birds for 15 years. * Vet Assistant Perks: I spent time working in a vet clinic, so I have experience working with cats and dogs. I know what to look for to make sure everyone is healthy and safe. * Shelter Volunteer : I’ve spent plenty of time volunteering at shelters, which means I’m great with small animals and exotics. My Philosophy: Whether I’m hanging out with your cat, walking your dog, or making sure your bird is chirping, I treat your pets like they’re my own family. You’ll get plenty of photos and updates so you know they’re having a good time while you’re away. Bottom line: Your pet’s comfort is my #1 priority. Let’s chat and see if I’m the right fit for your family ! By day, I’m working at the hospital, but in my off-hours, I’m all about the animals. Since my work life is all about care and attention to detail, I bring that same energy to looking after your pets during my free time. I’ve spent 15 years keeping exotic birds, and I currently have two budgies of my own. They get flight time, fresh water, and a spread of fresh veggies every single day—and I bring that same "spoiled and healthy" standard to every pet I watch. Whether you have a dog, a cat, or a feathered friend, I’ll make sure your pet gets the same experience. I make it my mission to ensure every pet in my care gets the exercise they need and their meals exactly how they like them.

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. They deserve to be loved in the same way they love us. Personally, I was raised with a cat and he lived till he was 21! (Insane, I know.) Volunteered in a cat shelter in my teens, actively donate to the charity A.C.T - “Animal’a Can’t Talk.” My father’s side had a variety of pets over the years. Always two dogs, two cats. Dogs have always been attracted to my playful demeanor; ironically once they’re done being nuts I provide a calming effect with them. I trust them, they trust me. I have the disney princess effect. I’ve watched all ages from puppies to 20 year old dogs - if I’m dealing with puppies, tip me well bc they CHEW 😂 I give medicine, I’m patient, studied behavior in college, I work in an emergency room. The difference being animals are nicer 😂 Open to any questions always and I am flexible with time. I also always send tons of videos and pictures. Unsure if it’s more for you or for me (they’re all so stinkin’ cute!) I work in an emergency room from 3-11, part time. I will have mornings and afternoons to assist you with care for your loved one. My schedule is flexible and I respond quickly to texts and messages. My job is to keep your pet on their schedule and keep them safe and do what is asked of me. This is YOUR pet, not mine. If I notice a particular behavior, I will certainly let you know and keep you informed about all activities. How much food I gave, send pictures of your animal. Whatever makes you feel safest having me with your animal is my main goal. And that they are loved and fed and happy!

About: I understand how nerve wracking it may be to leave your pet with someone new. Thankfully, I am here to assure you that your dog will be reliably taken care of while you are away. I am more than happy to arrange a meet and greet and will send multiple updates and photos throughout your dog's stay so you can enjoy your vacation and time away from your pet at ease! I've taken care of many friends and family dogs throughout the years when their owners would go on vacations. I have experience taking care of multiple dogs at once where I walked them, played, and fed their pets for many weeks. I finally found my forever furend, Romeo who is now a 7-month-old pomsky! Romeo is playful and loving. He will be a great companion to your furry friend during their stay with us! I am working from home and I am very flexible on taking your pets on walks throughout the day. I have a private rooftop I can bring them to, a nice quiet neighborhood area to walk around and there is a dog park 25 minutes away. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! My daycare services are from 9 am - 6 pm daily; the cut-off time for boarding services is by 6 pm daily. My dog-friendly apartment building has a private balcony where your fur baby can enjoy the fresh breeze throughout the day. I also have an amazing, beautiful rooftop that has fake grass where your pet will enjoy running around! I have provided a photo of the gorgeous private rooftop below. I have a spacious 2 bedroom apartment that is clean, mopped, and vacuumed daily. Your pet will have a private and quiet area to rest and spend their day happily!

I follow all instructions provided by each pet parent carefully to ensure consistency in the pet’s routine and comfort. I prioritize each pet’s safety, well-being, and emotional needs, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special care requirements. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection based on their personality and energy level. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and cues so I can respond appropriately and keep them comfortable and happy.

Jen was absolutely amazing! Our cat is a senior and generally hates everyone, but he took to her immediately, which says a lot! She came every day on time, spent plenty of time with him, and was incredibly diligent about making sure he received every dose of his medication. Her updates were fantastic and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She always let us know how he was doing and alerted us to anything we should be aware of. She followed all of our instructions perfectly, took wonderful care of him, and even brought in our mail without being asked. We will absolutely be using Jen again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring with their pets!

Carolina is AMAZING! I just recently moved into my apartment, and was anxious about finding someone to take care of my dog (Staffie mix) and my cat - both senior pets - during a trip to visit family. I'm so glad I chose Carolina, she was absolutely fantastic - extremely professional, caring, and communicative throughout the visit, and I could tell from the first photo she sent that my pets were in great hands. The neighbors in my new building also had great things to say about her once I returned. I'm so grateful for her expert care, and definitely plan to book her again. Highly recommended!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Fresh Meadows

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Fresh Meadows on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 12,254 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fresh Meadows. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fresh Meadows. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
