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: I love your pet and I've never even met it! Life long dog owner up until I moved to NYC in 2008. To fill the void of having a pet my landlord won't let me have I love to take care of pets for anyone I know or even don't know. I definitely have more experience with dogs but love kitties just the same. Keeping them happy and safe is my #1 priority, finding ways to spoil them is my second :) I have a pretty opem schedule so can handle pretty much any time for dog walking from 7am to 8pm, weekdays preferred. Happy to take your dog to a dog park if your pup needs to get their cardio! I live in a 2nd floor apartment and I'm happy to have pups spend the night in our very safe apartment and sleeping in my bed if that's what they prefer :)
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.
About: With over six years of hands-on experience, I’ve lovingly raised and trained my own dog, ensuring expert care, attention, and affection for your pets. As a dedicated Rover sitter, I provide a safe, nurturing environment where your furry family thrives! I work from home full time and I have a fenced backyard so your pet will have plenty of opportunities for walks and going outside. I have a fenced yard and a dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. No stairs required so it’s also senior dog friendly!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care, and patience. I treat any pet like if they were my own dog. I’m currently working part time so I am available Fridays, Sundays and Mondays the whole day so it gives me time to have some fun time with your pups/ cats! On Tuesday and Thursday’s I am available after 3pm. On a daily basis, I plan around pets’ routines to make sure they are fed on time, taken on walks, and given plenty of playtime and affection. I also make sure to check in on them regularly, keep their space clean, and monitor their behavior to ensure they are happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while maintaining their usual routine as much as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure the pet stays in their familiar environment and receives lots of attention, affection, and exercise. I keep their space clean, making sure that they are fed on time, take them on walks or provide playtime depending on their energy level, and monitor their behavior to make sure they are feeling well. I also like providing regular updates, photos, and messages so owners feel reassured while they are away. Now in my home, I create a calm and pet-friendly environment where they have space to relax, play, and feel at ease. I make sure they get plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection.
“Katherine is amazing!!!! So so communicative, sweet and caring towards my kitty. She genuinely did such a great job and I will definitely be contacting her again if I go out of town! Please consider Katherine!”
“Devon was so easy to work with! She gave great updates on her visits and was able to work with a last minute booking. She was also super flexible with timing and availability. Would definitely recommend!”
“Rebecca was great with Tali! Asked good questions to make sure she was comfortable and knew what to do, showed up on time and kept us updated. Would definitely book Rebecca again!”
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 6–10pm, 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 there! I’m Sarah. I’m here to make your pet feel at ease, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, treating them with complete respect for your wants and wishes. I live with only my husband and son (born Feb. 2025) - we do not have pets of our own, due to our traveling! I’m on extended leave, so your pup will have *all* of the attention! To ensure that attention, I only dogsit for one family at a time. My home is a second floor apartment, with a private, fenced-in balcony, close to numerous parks for our longer walks. I grew up on a farm upstate, always taking care of dogs, and I’ve dogsat for over two decades. For the past 8 years, I’ve also volunteered at, and fostered dogs through, the SPCA. I joined Rover after moving to Queens to continue my dogsitting. :) I’m very reliable and keep to scheduled meals, medical needs and exercise. Oh! And let's not forget plenty of cuddling. I love taking pictures and updating families on what their fur babes are up to! I love dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds, and temperaments! ******* Important note: My landlord's one restriction is that each dog must be under 60 lbs. ******* I look forward to meeting you soon! Being home during the day allows me to fully adapt to your pet's schedule - we will stick to all feeding, walking, medication, exercise/playing, and any other schedules that your pet usually follows! (Although we may have even more 'playing' time!) I have a very spacious, two-bedroom apartment, with no other pets--just a husband and son (born Feb. 2025)--to ensure your pet's absolute safety. We also have a grassy, fenced-in balcony that no other apartment has access to!
“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: For 5 years I house-sat 2 dogs (1 medium Pit mix and 1 small but chunky chihuahua mix) and 2 cats (all in one home) often for a few days at a time. I've had a family dog my entire life (a Maltese and later a Blue Pitbull) as well as 1 of my own while living alone (a Pit-Greyhound mix). I am interested in fostering sick or alternatively-abled dogs although I have not yet had the opportunity. I love dogs and cats of all sizes and have been pet sitting for 10 years. I’m comfortable dedicating time to pets. Right now I have the free time to engage with this type of work and it’s what I love to do. I am mostly comfortable pet sitting in the homes of others. I love to engage with and hang out with the pets I care for.
“Kate was amazing with my energetic puppy, Rome!! Rome was super comfortable with Kate and had a natural liking toward her. I will absolutely be using Kate for dog sitting 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.”
About: I have a dog of my own and I know what it feels like leaving them alone. They always need to be checked on and care for properly! Also, I have taken care of three other dogs and walk, feed and play with them. Dogs are truly the best companion to have. I am currently taking a break from school, therefore have any availability from 8am till 9pm. I can do any day of the week with at least two days in advance. I will make change their water and feed them accordingly. I can play with them in order to get their zoomies out. They will get the best head rubs as well!
About: I am known as a reliable, fast learner and knows how to have fun. Recently, I cared for one of my favorite breeds and I have to say although tired but at the end of the day it is rewarding. Warning: will spoil your pup I have love for all cats and dogs. I Always wanted to incorporate working with animals as part of my lifestyle or as a career. Would follow specific instructions and ask questions if need be. I also have a network of fellow dog mom and pups that I rely on for support and guidance.
“Rose was really great with my cats and they seemed to take to her very quickly. She followed all instructions left, if she had any questions she reached out and was ready to get a hold of and response time was great. I will definitely use her again”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Jackson Heights
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 want to thank Sharon for helping me during the most difficult time in my life by taking care of my dog Riley on his last days in this world. Riley has succumbed from complications of Stage V IVDD (congenital). He’s only two. Sharon helped me navigate his hospice care. Sharon also took care of Riley when he was a puppy. Sharon is a reliable, compassionate and caring person. Thank you Sharon.
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!
Erin’s been so great checking in on Ronnie throughout the spring. She’s flexible with my work schedule and super communicative. I love seeing the pictures after each visit and I know Ronnie is in great hands while I’m gone. Overall, she made my move to the NYC so much less stressful knowing that Ronnie was getting so much love when Erin stopped by:)
Raul did an excellent job pet sitting for Gunner. He made sure to follow instructions my husband and I gave him, which gave us a peace of mind. When something wasn’t completely clear, he checked in with me, I really appreciated that level of communication and care. It’s safe to say he’s doing a great job getting to know both us and Gunner, and we feel comfortable trusting him with our dog. Highly recommend!
Marcela did a wonderful job walking Beau and following instructions as he's still a puppy and training to walk. There is another puppy she walks in the apartment, but although we offered that she could walk Beau together with that puppy, she stated that she preferred to give each dog individual attention, which we were surpised by and appreciated. She took a lot of photos and videos, and we'd gladly ask Marcela to walk Beau again!
Debbie has been wonderful with our 3-month-old puppy and 2-year-old dachshunds! I was a little nervous with our pup being so young but Debbie put me at ease. She’s warm, reliable, professional, and follows directions so well. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing the dogs are getting love, attention, and great care while we’re at work. We’re so happy we found her 😊 Thanks Debbie! 🩷
Amanda has been taking such great care of Mushroom over the past month, and we really appreciate her. She handles her drop in visits so well-making sure Mushroom eats, drinks water, goes potty, and gets plenty of playtime and attention. It gives me peace of mind knowing she’s in such good hands while I’m at work. We’re so grateful to have Amanda helping and being part of Mushroom’s growth. Highly recommend! 🐾🎀
Austin was a huge help during my first week with a new puppy. He came over twice in a short time in one day for food/potty/play breaks for my 10 week old puppy. He came by in the morning for a meet and greet too. He was on time for them, sent lots of photos/videos, and left a lot of information afterwards. Very professional. I will be hiring him again!

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.

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.
