“Misty, you were great to work with! Super friendly and considerate of my needs and the needs of my cat. I loved receiving updates through the Rover card and I felt at ease knowing my pet was in your care while I was gone. Thank you again! :)”

“Haruna was wonderful!!! You can tell she cares so much about your pets and is super attentive and punctual. My two cats took to her really well, even my shy guy. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”

“Eliza put me at such ease while I went away for a few days. She was prompt and incredibly responsible during all visits. I came home to happy and healthy cats. It was a truly great and reassuring experience and I will certainly be leaving my cats in her care again in the future. Thank you so much, Eliza!!!”

“Bri was fantastic watching our cat Coco while we were away in Florida! Coco is usually quite shy with strangers, but Bri was incredibly patient with her and by day 2 of our trip Coco had already come out of her shell and was begging Bri for belly rubs! Bri went above and beyond by even cleaning Coco’s dishes, and shared great photos during her visits! We are so happy we found a reliable and communicative sitter and will definitely be using Bri again! :)”


“Karaline was amazing—everything you’d want in a sitter! She was very communicative with all of Luna’s daily exploits—keeping us updated on her habits and sending lots of pictures. She left everything super clean and offered to go above and beyond. We would book again in a heartbeat!”

“Grace stayed at my apartment for 2 weeks to housesit for my extremely fearful cat and was excellent. I was worried about leaving my cat but Grace’s calm demeanor was perfect! My cat opened up to her quickly and her communication with me while I was away was great. Grace was also very flexible and accommodating when I needed to change my return date. She also went above and beyond by setting up new cat toys and a window perch, and taking great pictures of my cat. Highly recommend!. Thanks Grace!”


About: Hello! I’m Nicole, a reliable and caring pet sitter and dog walker. While I don’t have any pets of my own right now, I’ve grown up with dogs and am a loving cat aunt to several of my friends’ fur babies. When you’re at work or out of town I’m happy to stop by for some quality time, food, fresh water, playtime and plenty of pets! I also love getting outside, so I’d be thrilled to take your dog for a nice, long, refreshing walk. I’m responsible and trustworthy and will treat your pet and your home with the same care I have for my own and will keep you in the loop with plenty of cute photos. I’m currently on the hunt for a new full time job so I have weekdays and weekends free to drop in and spend time with your pets. Prior to my visit, let’s connect so I can get a sense of your pet’s daily routine and preferences. I love spending time with animals and want to give them the attention and care they deserve.

About: Hi! I’m Ronald, but my friends and clients call me Alexis. l am lifelong animal lover with a genuine passion for caring for pets like they’re my own. Whether your dog needs a fun walk to burn off energy or your cat needs some loving company while you’re away, I provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s personality and routine. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I’m always focused on making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. You can count on me for timely updates, attention to detail, and lots of belly rubs! I work part-time, on certain days of the week, and only in the late afternoons and evenings. I am available to devote my full attention to pet-sitting and dog walking for the rest of the time and I have much flexibility. Please refer to my schedule for full details of my availability. To ensure your pet's safety and happiness, I follow all owner instructions very carefully. I do my best to create an experience that closely resembles your pet's regular day-to-day routine while he/she is in my care. If boarding with me, I welcome the opportunity to offer meet and greets with the pet's mom or dad to ensure everyone’s happiness and peace of mind.
About: Hi, I’m Hannah! I’m a lifelong animal lover and grew up with a Labrador. I have several years of experience living with and caring for both dogs and cats, including pets of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. As a WFH artist, I’m home most of the day and can provide plenty of company, attention, and extra care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine closely and keep you updated with plenty of photos along the way. Fair warning: your furry baby may end up in one of my illustrations :) As a WFH artist, my schedule is flexible seven days a week, and I’m home most of the day. I can easily fit walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of company into my daily routine while following your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible. I live in a quiet, cozy home with no other pets, so your pet will have plenty of space and attention. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, routines, and any house rules. I want every pet to feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable while staying with me.
About: I’m a responsible babysitter and dog sitter. I’ve taken care of young pups and senior dogs. I understand dog body language well enough to assess situations when needed. I love a challenge and that means multiple dogs, larger dogs, and I could dog sit for hours. I follow instructions and I’m open to extra services before sun down. Although I’m new, you should not underestimate my experience. You can rely on me to be your dog’s new companion, I’m very flexible and adaptable. I love taking photos so you would not regret a photoshoot! I encourage pet owners to ask about any concerns or requests. I work part time helping animals! Feel free to ask me about that, but my scheduling is always changing so don’t be afraid to reach out to see if we can work around it! I don’t have a yard but the apartment is open except the main bedroom. There’s also a dog park nearby so we can have some safe outside play time!
About: I’ve always had a deep connection with dogs, growing up with a family dog I cared for and now owning my own. Whether your dog needs extra attention or faces specific challenges, I get it. From walks to playtime, I’m here to help and offer the support they need. Training takes time and practice, but with patience and dedication, it only gets better. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I’m a dog owner myself. I make time for daily walks, playtime, and training sessions with my dog. As a freelance photographer, I have a flexible schedule, so I can adapt to your pet’s needs. I’ll be sure to keep you updated with pictures of your furbaby throughout the day, so you can stay connected and worry-free. For drop-in visits, I ensure that your pet feels safe and comfortable by sticking to their routine and environment. I keep their space tidy and secure, making sure any hazards are removed. During dog walks, I focus on providing a calm and enjoyable experience, keeping your dog safe on a leash and offering them mental and physical stimulation. Whether in your home or out on walks, I prioritize your pet’s well-being and will keep you updated with photos so you can stay connected and reassured.
About: I’m a (former) software engineer who loves to be surrounded by animals! I have raised pets for over 10 years, both in suburban and urban settings. I have a 13 year old maltese named Teddy and an 8 year old brown tabby cat named Cleo. I am very familiar with reading animals’ body language and understanding their needs. I send regular updates and photos of your babies so you don’t have to worry, and I guarantee they are in good care with me! I’m very flexible with accommodating special requests, please just let me know. I stepped away from corporate over a year again, so I have an extremely flexible schedule. I’m able to check in on your baby at least 3 times a day, and I’m open to special requests. I live with my cat, Cleo, so my home is already set up for animals. Guests stay in a calm, clean space with fresh water always available, a consistent feeding schedule, and supervised time out of their crate or resting area. I introduce pets to my space gradually and never leave a new pet alone with Cleo. Pets who need quiet or separation get it. I follow your routine as closely as possible, including feeding amounts, medication times, walk schedules, and any house rules. I always lock doors behind me, keep leashes and collars secure, and never let a dog off-leash in an unfenced area. I send photo and text updates at each visit so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Saifa is an amazing pet sitter. She took care of our two cats while we were away and was so responsive. The photos and notes from each visit really gave us peace of mind while we were away. :)”

About: I never struggle to keep up with a dog during a run, nor do I have a problem keeping them out of trouble. I have a big dog named Apollo and watched over my cousins chihuahua on multiple occasions. No matter how big or small I can take care of them. Depending on the needs of the cats i'm able to adjust my schedule to fit their needs. if they need medicine at specific times I would make sure that time is clear for only them. When working with cats I notice they tend to have a specific routine they make for themselves. Where they sit, what time they eat, what time their most playful, as their sitter Id notice their patterns so I wouldn't do anything to disturb them or cause them distress
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been something I'm passionate about. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages for family, friends, and through my professional experience. Whether it's going for walks, providing enrichment and playtime, feeding, or simply giving them love and attention, I enjoy making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and comfortable. I previously worked at a dog daycare, where I supervised and cared for large groups of dogs, learning how to understand different personalities and make sure every pup had a fun and safe experience. I now work at a veterinary emergency hospital, where I help care for and stabilize pets while supporting and communicating with their owners. This experience has taught me how to recognize changes in a pet's behavior, stay calm under pressure, and provide compassionate, dependable care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care that I would give my own, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Im currently working full time, 3-4 days of the week. I’m an available to play and care for your pup(s) during my free time as needed! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities.

I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I'll follow your pet's routine, respect any special instructions, and keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in safe, loving hands.
About: Hi! I’m Maddy. I grew up with a family corgi and have had a cat myself. I know what it’s like to care for animals that are energetic, shy, have separation anxiety, or need special care. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and caring looking after your furry friends and I hope I can be that person for you! I am comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and daily routines. I like to think I’m pretty chill to work with, very communicative, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m a new grad who recently moved to the city. I am generally in office Mon-Fri, but home by 5pm and free on the weekends. I can be flexible where needed, so just ask! Outside of work, I have a plenty of free time, so I’m able to give your furry friend lots of attention, playtime, and care.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for my entire life! I grew up in a household full of animals, ranging from fish to miniature donkeys, and I love dogs and cats. I have experience with animals with extra needs such as administering medication (via mouth, skin, and injection) and interacting with reactive dogs. If you trust me to take care of your pets, I will care for them as if they’re my own! My work schedule varies - some are very open and others are quite busy. I take jobs during less busy times so that I have plenty of time to devote to your pets! Safety is my #1 priority. I definitely lean towards taking more caution with new pets and environments. I understand how precious your pet must be to you, and they will be safe in my care!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Jackson Heights
Xiaoying was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly responsible, attentive, and thoughtful throughout the entire drop-in visit. She uploaded lots of adorable photos of my cat, along with very detailed updates about how everything was going. It really helped me feel reassured knowing my cat was being well taken care of while I was away. Communication with Xiaoying was also excellent. She was always responsive, easy to communicate with. I could really tell that she genuinely cared about my cat and took her responsibilities seriously. I’m so grateful for her care and attention, and I would absolutely book with her again! Highly recommend Xiaoying to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

We’ve been using Lisa’s cat-sitting services for more than two years now, and we couldn’t recommend her more. She’s dependable, caring, and always takes wonderful care of Peestryl.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Jackson Heights is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $35 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
