House Sitting in Howard Beach, Queens, NY

“Ivy did a wonderful job at caring for our puppy, Kuma, while we were away! Ivy was very attentive to our puppy and asked great questions before to get a good sense of his needs. I really enjoyed getting pictures of Kuma throughout his time with Ivy. I have a very anxious dog and Ivy was super patient with Kuma until he warmed up to her. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!!”

“This is the first time we have used Rover and we highly recommend choosing Lucy to watch your pet! She is a great communicator, sending updates by photos and videos. Through her messages we were able to see how attentive and caring she was, which in turn allowed us to know he was in good hands. Lucy exercised our pet several times a day and even took him to the dog park to play with others. Additionally, she took care of our home and kept it in pristine condition. We have only positive things to say about Lucy. She is a pet sitter that will go above and beyond to care for your pet!”

“Rachelle has been our go-to dog sitter, and once again, she took great care of our dachshund while we were away for a week. She made sure he got his daily walks and potty breaks on schedule, handled his medication, and kept the house tidy, which we really appreciated. She also sent us regular photo updates, which eased how much we missed him. We’ve used her before and continue to trust her with our pup. Would definitely recommend!”

“Ariel was wonderful! She is friendly and so clearly an animal person; the kind of person you want caring after your pet. We booked her for house sitting for our 4 month old puppy. She gave him lots of attention and followed our instructions. We will definitely be booking again.”

“Sophia was a great pet sitter. She was prompt, communicative, and gave us regular updates throughout her stay with our pup. We were glad to have found her to watch our dog for the day!”

“This was my second time booking Josefa for housesitting for 4 nights. I’m so grateful to have found her on Rover, she is detail oriented and goes absolutely above and beyond for my dog. She truly treats him as if he were her own, and buys him little goodies too. Super respectful of the home and honestly leaves it cleaner than before. My slightly reactive/anxious dog can be very particular as well and she handles him great with lots of patience. Highest of recommendations and I can’t thank her enough.”

“Luana is truly exceptional! She completely alleviated my anxiety about dog-sitting on Rover (after my last experience), providing outstanding care for Biscotti. Her proactive communication was fantastic, and it was clear Biscotti was comfortable and happy, as he warmed to her right away. Beyond her excellent care, she also kept my apartment neat and tidy, and in a truly thoughtful gesture, even left me some delicious soup she had mentioned. I highly recommend Luana and look forward to booking with her again.”

“Lenford made me feel comfortable that Charlie was in good hands while I was away! He sent many pictures in which Charlie looked like he was having a blast. Lenford also worked with me when my flight was delayed until the middle of the night and stayed with Charlie until we were sure I would be getting home soon.”

“Caylee stayed in my home and took care of my Suki for 5 days. She was very communicative, punctual, very nurturing and sent me updates on Suki. She took very good care of him and I will book her again. She left my apt nice and tidy as well. I highly recommend her. Very happy with my experience.”

“Alex took great care of my dog Rooh! My dog is quite shy but Alex took note of behavioral improvements over the course of a few days and opened her up. She followed instructions provided very well and asked questions whenever necessary. She was great with communication and providing regular updates to keep me up to speed with how Rooh was doing. Would definitely recommend Alex as a dog sitter and would also like to book her again in the future! :)”

Anshika D.

“Our dog and cats were very happy, and Savoy was a great house sitter!”

Zoe B.

“I could not recommend Nianna more as a pet sitter. She obviously loves animals and took good care of our dog and home while we were away. She came to meet our dog before so he would be familiar with her, kept us informed and sent lots of pictures, she is punctual and very friendly on top! Five stars!”

About: Hi! My name is Michal (she/her), I am 22 years old and heading into my final year of college. I have catsit for friends and family throughout college and am looking to expand this passion of mine into a part time job to pay for school! To say I love cats is truly an understatement. My cat, Athena, is 10 years old and she is truly one of my best friends. She is a cat that has very strong boundaries and is sometimes unfriendly, but this taught me how to be patient with cats of all temperaments and that all cats are deserving of receiving love on their terms. I would love to meet you and your cat and give you the best experience possible. As a cat owner myself, I know how difficult it can be to leave your fur baby with a stranger, but I can assure you I will treat your cat as if it were my own. As I mentioned, I am comfortable with cats of all temperaments. Therefore, if your cat loves attention I would be happy to give them all the pets and comfort they need while you are away. Same goes for cats who just want someone to sit near them and stare at me (and maybe be coaxed with treats). Typically I would like to speak to the owner either in person or over facetime to discuss every cat's individual needs, the owners expectations, etc. I do suggest a free intake meeting in person with the owner present where I meet the cat so that when you are away, the cat is more comfortable with my presence if you feel that is necessary. For drop ins, I will ensure that the cat's food, water, and litter box are clean and properly managed during every visit. I will also send photos to the owner and updates upon every visit to the home. Then, I spend my time with the cat ensuring they are receiving enough attention through play, pets, and general quality time. I am a bit particular with boarding or overnight stays and will only do so if I feel it is absolutely necessary for the cat and is a comfortable environment for everyone. An overnight stay will include the tasks I have outlined above; further, I will always ensure to maintain respect for your home and space while caring for your cat. If you choose me to care for your furbaby, it will always be my #1 priority. I am a full-time college student but I spend most of my time at home in between classes. I am available most if not all days for drop-in visits to hang out with your pet and give them the care they deserve. My care always begins with a conversation with the pet owner to ensure that I understand their boundaries and the pets needs. Upon visiting the cat I make sure to follow the directions of the owner while making sure your pet is as comfortable as possible. Maintaining a clean environment is part of that, so I always keep everything tidy by maintaining the litter box and washing bowls after every meal. It is truly my #1 priority to make sure that both the client and the pet are satisfied with my care services.
