About: I've been dog walking and sitting for four years in both New York and Los Angeles. I've worked with dogs of all ages, shapes and sizes all over the city. I'm experienced in dog play groups and hikes. I've also administered medicine when needed. I grew up around pooches as small as Pomeranians and as big as Great Danes. I've done it all and can't wait to keep the good times rolling with your pup! I am a freelance writer (mostly advertising) which means my hours are flexible and I have plenty of free time during the day to care for your pups. I also have weekend availability when needed. I have years of dog walking and sitting experience. I'm comfortable with the full array of harnesses and leashes and have supervised countless play dates at dog parks if that's something your pup is into. I've always kept a great line of communication with pet owners so they know their loved ones are safe and most importantly - they know exactly what happened on their little guy's walk. Personally, I have two cats at home and I give them their little medicines so I am comfortable providing that service to your pet if needed.
“Jamile was wonderful to work with and she went above and beyond in taking care of our cats! She was highly communicative, shared detailed updates and photos, and the cats got along really well with her, despite them usually being distant towards new people. I felt comforted that she was taking care of them while we were out of town. Highly recommend her services and we’ll definitely be working with her again in the future.”
“Lillybeth is a fantastic cat sitter! She visited Smokey daily and made sure he was well taken care of and, of course, had fun at playtime. She was very communicative and sent multiple pictures and updates daily. I would absolutely have her look after Smokey again.”
“Jeffrey was incredibly communicative, answering texts promptly and giving helpful updates. He followed all instructions and was just great with my kitten, giving him his medicine and playing with him.”
About: From childhood to today, caring for dogs has been part of my life. Real experience, real responsibility, and genuine love for every pet I look after. I’m available Monday through Friday from 3-10pm, and on Saturdays and Sundays all day. Flexible, reliable, and ready to care for your pets always. 🐾 I provide care in clients’ homes, ensuring a safe, calm, and familiar environment. I follow instructions closely, prioritize trust, and treat every pet with respect.
About: Hi, I’m Christian! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog dad of 14+ years. I live in a dog-friendly, second-floor walk-up in Astoria, just steps away from a park where your pup can enjoy some fresh air and exercise. I work from home, so I can give your dog plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a senior who needs some extra TLC, I’m here to provide a safe, loving environment. Your pup will always get the love and care they deserve with me! My job allows me to set my own schedule as it relates to coming into the office, so I am very flexible on going in. Most of the time I am working remotely so I can give your dog the love and attention it needs. I am on the second floor of a walk-up building I which is dog friendly. I’m two blocks away from a park and would have no problems taking your pup out for as many walks as they need. I also have pads that I can put down as well. I’m happy to cater to whatever need your pup may have.
“Ashley was great with Sova! She was on time and really spent some time with him, which I appreciated a lot. We got lots of photos which helped reassure us that he was fine. Her “reports” also showed that she had a good time hanging out with our cat and I found that really heartwarming. Thanks again for caring for him while we were away!”
About: I’ve had cats since I was 10. I adopted my current cat Snap Pea over 3 years ago, a 5 year old dilute calico FIV+. I’ve frequently volunteered at the cat shelter/adoption center, and I’ve taken care of many friends’ cats and dogs while they were away. I’d love to care for your fur baby too! I work full time during the week, so I can do drop by visits or walks for cats/small dogs before 9am and after 5pm. I’m based in the Astoria, Queens neighborhood. I scoop the litter box 1x per day. I play and cuddle with my cat. I also always take plenty of photos for whoever I cat sit for so their owners know they’re having a fun time! I can also walk small to medium sized dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals since I was 3, especially exotic animals like reptiles and avians. I’m a volunteer at ASPCA shelter now. Although I’ve never had dogs and cats myself, I had some experience of baby sitting them for my friends. I’m a freelancer now, so I’m pretty flexible with my schedule everyday. Feel free to contact me even if it’s the same day work. I’ll make sure I crack the door open a little bit first and always keep the door closed when I clean cat litter or anything to make sure my client’s pet won’t sneak out
“Katherine was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my cat while I was out of town, even going above and beyond to make sure she had clean water when her water fountain broke. I can’t recommend Katherine highly enough!!”
About: Throughout the years, I have had the wonderful opportunity to look after the beloved pets of my friends and family. Whether it was for a short overnight stay or during their extended absence, I have always been entrusted with the responsibility of caring for their furry companions. This has allowed me to gain valuable experience in various aspects of dog care, including feeding, grooming, walking, and of course, engaging in fun playtime activities with them. Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I have a dog of my own. I’m used to regular walks, feeding schedules, and giving pets the attention they need, so caring for others fits in naturally. My wife, Rosie and I live in a 2 bedroom apartment. Rosie is accustomed to the company of other furry friends. In case needed, Rosie can spend time with her grandparents while I take care of your beloved pet. Rest assured, I will provide the same level of care and affection as if they were my own.
“Nellie loved playing and spending time with Tia! Nellie has A LOT of energy and Tia was able to match it perfectly. Even when my phone was damaged on vacation, she was still super communicative about what was going on with my puppy. It was so reassuring to come home to full reports, photos, and a happy and healthy girl! Thanks so much Tia!”
About: Your pet will be happy!! I pay attention to the details! I understand that different pets have different needs. Some can have food available all times, while others need to be served at specific times, with the right ammount. I take details seriously and I will pay attention to your requests and execute them well! I had a lovely Schnauzer miniature named Jessie for 17 years and she was the happiness of my life. Unfortunately pets don’t live longer... and she passed. Now I have an adopted 12 year old cat, named Katie, and she is open up every day more. Just as my love grows!!!! I love all animals and I’ll be really happy to help you with your pet too! I’m currently working part time from home, so I have plenty of time to go on walks, visits, and take care of your pet. I’m very attentive with everything involving safety for your pet and your home! I always double check leashes and make sure they are away from the door before I leave.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. For 8 beautiful years, I was the proud owner of a rescued senior Golden Retriever, and she was my absolute world! Loving and caring for her during her senior years taught me the true value of patience, giving special attention, monitoring mobility, and providing the gentle, loving care that older dogs truly need. Additionally, I’ve spent time volunteering at an animal care center, mostly assisting the operations team. That experience gave me the skills to handle different temperaments and needs with confidence, empathy, and patience. I promise to bring that exact same love, dedication, and protective care to your beloved pet. When they are with me, they are family, so you can expect tons of love, safety, and happiness for your furry friend! My afternoons and evenings are completely open and dedicated to pet care! This makes me the perfect match if you need someone reliable for afternoon walks, dinner-time feeding, or late-night companionship. Whether your furry friend stays with me for doggy day care or boarding, they will fit right into a warm, loving evening routine filled with attention, safety, and tons of love! For me, safety goes hand-in-hand with exercise! I love helping pups burn off their extra energy outside during our walks also leaving some time to sniff and explore, ensuring they come back happy, relaxed, and ready for some downtime.
About: I rescued my fur baby in February 2021 and have loved every second of taking care of her. I work from home MWF, so I have a flexible schedule, and I’m more than happy to love up on your fur baby as well! I can ensure that your four-legged family member will be in good hands during our time together. I know life gets busy, so let me take one thing off your plate by walking and caring for him/her :) I'm quick to learn, attentive to any special requests you may have, and overall grateful for entrusting me with walking and caring for your furry family member. Working from home gives me a flexible schedule. Aside from caring for my pup, I usually have enough space to add in additional walks for other dogs each week! I’m more than happy to crate your dog before/after walks or provide them with any care you specify. I treat your home and your dog with love and respect.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Jackson Heights
Nancy was great and very proactive in making sure we were all sorted out for her visit with Gweni. I was also really impressed by how thorough she was and how well she remembered everything we talked about! I’m so appreciative she was able to take out Gweni. Thank you, Nancy!!
Emily has been Coco’s regular dog walker for quite some time, and we truly could not have asked for someone better. She is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, communicative, and most importantly, genuinely cares about Coco. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that when we were at work, Coco was with someone we completely trusted. Emily was always dependable, kept us updated after their walks, and treated Coco like she was her own. Coco absolutely loves her, which says everything! We’re only parting ways because Emily received an amazing full-time opportunity, otherwise we would happily have kept her as Coco’s walker for years to come. Anyone who has the opportunity to have Emily care for their pet will be incredibly lucky. We’re going to miss her so much and can’t recommend her highly enough. ❤️🐾
Jessica watched our bulldog, Max, twice this summer and was amazing! She took such great care of him and always communicated with us. We looked forward to her pictures and felt such a relief knowing he was with Jessica. We look forward to booking again with her next time we go away.
Kiana was fantastic with my dogs! She was super flexible on short notice, set up a meet and greet right away, and asked all the right questions. One of my pups is a senior who requires several medications twice a day, and she handled his care seamlessly. She is trustworthy, kind, and took wonderful care of my dogs. Her communication was great throughout the entire stay. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again!
Vanessa was a sweetheart! This was my first time using this and she made me feel very comfortable and easy about this decision. She even came to introduce herself to me and Otis prior to the visit so I really appreciated that. And Otis loves her! That’s my favorite part! I’ll definitely be booking again.
I had a great experience with the nail trim service. She was incredibly responsible, professional, and patient throughout the entire visit. She handled everything with care and made sure my dog was comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated her attention to detail and reliability. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled pet caregiver!
I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She took such wonderful care of my dogs and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she treated them like their own, making sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Communication was great throughout, and I really appreciated the detailed updates. I came home to two very happy pups, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Jackson Heights 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.
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 Jackson Heights 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 Jackson Heights with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
