About: As a luxury, high rated caregiver, providing top-tier service to your pets is my priority. To ensure the best care possible, I kindly require pet profiles to be fully completed when submitting a request. If your pet's profile is not yet filled out, please include their full, detailed daily routine in your initial message. Otherwise, I will need to prioritize requests with complete information. Additionally, Meet & Greets are strictly non-negotiable for all bookings. I require either a virtual Meet & Greet (for last-minute requests) or an in-person meeting to guarantee we are the perfect fit before confirming any dates. Thank you so much! 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: As a teacher, patience, reliability, and communication are second nature to me. I take the time to learn each pet's personality and routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. I'll treat your pet like family and keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. Currently a teacher on summer break looking forward to helping you take care of your fur babies in this summer heat. All day availability for walks, drop ins and snuggles. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping their environment clean, safe, and stress-free. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I have over a decade of experience as a pet owner with dogs of all sizes. I am happy to help petowners balance their own needs while also balancing their fur babies’ needs. I work a 9-5 remotely that is generally busier during the weekdays with more open availability during the weekends and towards the end of the work week. In order to be able to tend to the needs of pets appropriately, I have limited my availability to the days where I have room to look after pets properly. I keep my pets indoors. To keep things simple and for the safety of all pets involved, I do not open my home to other pets. I am however, open to caring for pets in their own homes which is generally what they are most comfortable in.
About: I’m an animal lover and experienced cat caretaker with over 10 years of hands-on experience raising two wonderful cats. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I communicate clearly, stay organized, and treat every home and pet with the same care I give my own. I can always accommodate your lovely pet into my schedule, the only thing I ask is at least 2 days notice to organize my schedule Whether be it a shy pet or an outgoing and friendly one, I keep an eye out for what may trigger them and act cautiously to avoid any accidents or misshaps
“Mandel was very communicative, timely, and took excellent care of our pups while we were gone. I will definitely be utilizing his services again in the future!”
“Cailey is very thoughtful and an excellent pet sitter! She gave us regular updates with photos and was affectionate and attentive to our kitties. We came home to a clean house and happy cats. I highly recommend her and have already booked her for our next trip :)”
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Regina K. as a pet sitter for my cat, Layla, while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Regina followed all of the instructions I left for her perfectly and took great care of Layla during each home visit. She was very nice and pleasant to communicate with, which made me feel at ease while I was away. Regina made sure Layla had her treats, wet food, and fresh water, cleaned the litter box thoroughly, and even spent time playing with her—something that meant a lot to me. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Layla’s well-being and comfort. I really appreciate Regina’s help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you, Regina!”
“I've had the pleasure of having Rachelle as my sitter for a while now. This is my first puppy and unfortunately, it seems I picked the sickly puppy from the breeder as he's had many issues. However, that never stopped Rachelle. She has been a joy who has been my support when my puppy needs additional care and patience. If you want someone who proactive, communicative, and kind then look no further.”
About: Hi! I’m Wendy, and I love puppies. I speak fluent Spanish and have a basic command of English, enough to communicate with owners and—in case of an emergency—with the vet. I use a translation app on my phone if needed to ensure communication is always clear. Although I don’t have professional certification, I’ve looked after dogs for family and friends my whole life. I know how important your puppy is to you. I will treat your puppy as if it were my own. What I offer: Lots of affection and personalized attention • Safe walks using a harness and leash • Photos and updates during every visit • Full respect for your routine: meals, medication, and schedules • Spotless, smoke-free home • I live in Ozone Park, close to parks My experience: • Caring for small and medium-sized dogs • Shy or senior dogs—I have plenty of patience • Administering oral medication if needed • I work from home, so your dog won't be left alone. For me, the most important thing is your peace of mind and your dog's happiness. Your dog will get all my attention, playtime with toys, and sweet dreams on a cozy bed. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend! My routine begins with dropping my daughter off at school and returning home; during this time, I can look after, play with, bathe, and walk the dogs, and in the afternoon, I pick my daughter up from school. I can also walk the dogs in the afternoon because my husband stays with my daughter. I live in a large apartment where the puppy can play; I don't have a yard, but I live close to a park, so I can take him there so we can play.
About: I have one dog of my own who is 4 years old. She is a husky-pit mix and if you have had either of the two breeds you'd know how challenging they can be. Yet, we manage to live a harmonious life with many complimenting us everywhere we go. I have dedicated myself to learning about training and I am dedicated to doing the best with what I know and learning more so I can do better. I bring this to every exchange I have had with clients trying to understand their dogs better and even received my certification in NEPOPO to continue learning. I can calm and handle even the most misunderstood animals and hope we can work together to give you and your loved one(s) the best life possible. A standard day includes structured potty, exercise, feed, nap, second potty, play, exercise, feed and decompression time again, final potty, then sleep. Each dog get's their attention and space. I am currently working from home (self-employed) and committing myself to bookings and working on projects from home. Trust and environment are everything for allowing a dog to feel safe and comfortable. I first like to do a walk through with my clients and their dog to understand any behaviors or needs the client or dog has and then we discuss specific expectations regarding routine, emergencies, home, care & communication.
“Mary is so kind and thorough. She brought cute new toys for my cats and they love them. She does a great job and always cleans around the litter box so it’s not a mess when I get back. We love Mary!”
“Omolayo took amazing care of our two cats while we were on vacation. She was consistent, dependable and extremely responsive. She gave me the peace of mind I needed. I knew my cats were in great hands with her. I highly recommend her as a sitter! I will be contacting her again the next time I am out of town. Thank you so much!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Howard Beach
Alex was great with my babies while I was gone for almost two weeks! When I got home I could tell they had been well taken care of, they didn't appear stressed at all which has happened in the past. Alex was super responsive and sent me such great pictures that helped relieve my anxiety. I would absolutely recommend her!
Such a great spirit and understanding of our dogs needs and temperament. She went above and beyond, playing basketball with him in the cold and recognized when he was stressed. She was great in cleaning behind our dog and following instructions to T in locking up the property.

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 Howard Beach 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.

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 Howard Beach 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.
