About: Hi! I'm Jewel, a dedicated animal lover who truly enjoys caring for pets of all kinds. I love both cats and dogs-friendly, playful cats and all dog breeds are welcome! Animals naturally gravitate toward me, and I take pride in making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have hands-on experience with many types of dogs, including reactive, friendly, and senior dogs. I've owned Chihuahuas, a Blue Heeler named Ava, and I currently have my own puppy, Romeo. My experience has helped me understand different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, in-home sitting, and overnight stays. For social dogs, I can also bring my puppy along for companionship-with your approval. Your pet's safety, happiness, and routine are always my top priority. I genuinely love what I do, and I treat every pet like family. You can count on me to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I am currently working full-time from the comfort of my home, giving me maximum flexibility all days of the week and weekends to care for your pets. Sometimes I may just need to bring my computer or iPad along with me to stay on top of work. I have wide open availability ! Safety is my absolute number one priority! I hold a professional security license, as well as official certifications in pet CPR and First Aid, so you can rest assured that your beloved pets are in highly trained, capable hands. For in-home visits, I love working directly from your environment because it keeps your animals comfortable, stress-free, and in their familiar routine. I always treat your home with the utmost respect, care, and cleanliness while keeping your furry family members perfectly safe and sound

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.

About: I’ve taken care of and trained my own dog and cat for the past 6 years and before that, dog-sat for family, friends, and neighbors for several years, including walking, feeding, bathing, playing, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s personality and routine. I’m super comfortable with energetic pets who need exercise, as well as shy or older pets who need extra care, calm attention, and consistency. I will always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I've also taken care of birds, mice, and bunnies, so I would love to help out with any of those, too! I'm currently a University of Pennsylvania student home for the summer! I'm working an internship but am completely free in the evenings and on the weekends! I make safety and comfort my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, and favorite things so they feel secure and cared for. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and send regular updates. I’m attentive on walks, careful around other animals, and always make sure pets get the right mix of exercise, affection, and calm downtime. At my own home, I have a large completely fenced yard with cameras for additional safety. I also live across the street from a park so for the energetic ones, I have lots of opportunities to take them out!

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.

First time arranging a sitter for my cat and I was nervous, but I got Christy and she has been amazing and lovely. Cats can be cats and I worried if my girl got overstimulated and took a “stop petting me now” swipe a sitter would be upset, but Christy gets cats! I got updates and photos every visit and she made sure I knew my kitty was doing well. It was such a relief that she genuinely likes my cat! Will definitely be using Christy again!

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 😻.

About: I've worked at a doggy daycare where I was exposed to all kinds of dogs. At the daycare, I supervised and took care of the dogs. I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was little, and I walk my dog at least two times a day for at least 45 minutes. I am currently working part-time, so I have a lot of time to incorporate your fur babies into my lifestyle. I am usually available at certain times everyday since my schedule is extremely flexible. I have an extremely friendly shih tzu with me in a smoke-free home. I prioritize cleanliness and I have all basic dog essentials. Plus, I have a lot of toys that your baby would enjoy.

About: I've taken care of all types of pets since I was 8. Ranging from 3 month old puppies to 15 year old seniors. Family and friends have relied on me to walk and care for their pets. I am also currently in college pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. I'm currently in college and working part-time but I will have more than enough time to truly care for and walk your pups! I will put great amount of time and energy into each walk. I have 3 dogs which I have cared for, for many years and take on extensive walks 3-4 times a day. I know how to leash-train and can deal with pulling. Dogs tend to trust me quickly because I take time to let them know I’m here to care for them. I make sure my animals and those of others feel all my love.

About: I’ve always had so much love for animals, but growing up I’ve always had cats. So for about a year I volunteered at the nearest dog shelter where I learned how to care for dogs. And now I know even more working as a Veterinary technician/assistant. I currently work full time but only 4 days a week. I work pretty close to home so I would be able to go home on my lunch breaks to check on pets, and then head straight home after work to love and care for your pets. I have a fenced in backyard and live in a big house. There is my cat in the house as well who is very good with other animals. And I have the means to separate them temporarily if necessary.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 11, caring for my own two dogs and the family members’ dogs. I trained and raised one of my dogs with expertise in walking, feeding, and meeting all the needs of a dog. My love for dogs leaves me equipped with all the necessary skills to ensure that your dog’s needs are met and they feel loved and cared for. I am a responsible person who works hard and is organized at all times, making me a perfect option to care for your furry friend. I’m currently a college student with plenty of time to care for your pups! Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m available after 3:30 and Saturdays I’m available afternoons and evenings! I have experience working with dogs in various environments, understanding what is needed to keep pets safe. I am aware of surroundings at all times and feel as though I tend to have a good read on dog’s comfortability levels. I would be able to follow any specific instructions in compliance with the dog’s preferences.

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!

I provide calm, reliable, and attentive care tailored to each pet’s personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, a senior, or needs extra support, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I specialize in consistent morning walks and in-home care for busy professionals and families in Fresh Meadows and surrounding neighborhoods (within a 3–5 mile radius). I enjoy building trust with every pet I care for and always treat them with patience, kindness, and respect.

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Fresh Meadows

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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

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

As of July 2026, there are 27,120 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fresh Meadows. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Fresh Meadows 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.

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 Fresh Meadows. On Rover:

  • 88% 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.

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.
