“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.”
“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.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child, and in my late twenties I started fostering cats. Two of my most recent — and happily “failed” — fosters became my two beautiful tuxedo cats. They’ve taught me so much about living with cats: respecting their boundaries, understanding their needs, and appreciating that every cat and dog has their own unique personality and preferences. My husband and I love animals, and we understand how difficult it can be to find someone who will care for your pets the way you do. That’s why we are committed to treating your pets like family, making sure they feel loved, comfortable, safe, and happy while they are with us. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, cuddles, or simply having their space respected, we’ll provide the care and attention they need to feel at home. I'm a morning person so I wake up everyday at 6am. I can take care of your babies from early in the morning until 1pm. Wednesday and Thursday I can take care of them all day. I don't have a yard but if we are indoors they can be with me in my room. If you want me to take care of them at your home, you just let me know the rules and I will follow them so your pets are safe and have a great time.
About: I have had multiple pets as far back as I can remember. I have always been around multiple cats and dogs, and love and cared for each one according to their needs, preferences, and proclivities. I have cared for the dogs Bonny, Scout, Belinda, Obi, and Joni since they were puppies, including the senior years for some. I’ve also cared for the cats Milo, Libby, Tux, Tabby, and currently, Jolene! I have experience with very small puppies and kitten (including their behavior around children), and have a large amount of experience cleaning up every type and consistency of mess, as well as individually tailored care instructions (including for animals who share spaces with others). I have multiple jobs which allow me to tailor my schedule as needed week to week. I will be able to fit in visit, walks, and stays as needed to fit your and your pet’s schedules. I have experience crating dogs as well as gentle discipline if needed. I have dealt with difficult or adversarial cats and dogs, and can perform things like nail trimmings, baths, and feeding as needed for the pet’s safety, health, and preferred schedule.
About: I have taken care of many dogs, cats, and birds for multiple years. I have experience in walking, cleaning, and playing with animals. I will be sure to take exceptional care for your precious companions. I am currently available to take care of your dogs or cats. I have open availability and can be notified a day in advance. Thank you. I am very careful with locking doors and leaving windows closed so that your dogs or cats won’t leave the home accidentally. I make sure there are no other hazards.
About: I've always loved animals since childhood, and I used to keep rabbits and small birds when I was young. A few years ago, I got my first cat, and I truly enjoy spending time with her. I also have experience taking care of dogs, as my roommate has two. I usually take the puppies for walks and give them baths. Time spent with pets is incredibly precious to me. I have a regular work schedule, usually finishing around 5 p.m., so I have plenty of free time to walk the dog or play with the cat. Every day, I spend time playing with my cat and pay close attention to the cleanliness of my house and the cat's mental state.
“Austin was great! Took incredible care of my senior cat. Very organized and I felt relieved knowing that they had everything under control. Would definitely recommend and book again!”

You’ll receive photo updates and detailed visit summaries after every visit, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving reliable, compassionate care.

I prioritize reliability, communication, and keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable while providing GPS check-ins, photos, and detailed updates after every visit. As a pet parent to my cat, Monster, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member.

Every visit includes GPS check-ins, photos, and detailed updates, so you can feel confident your pet is happy, comfortable, and in good hands.
“Judy was great! Very easy and pleasant communication, did the job and then some. My dog was very happy to see her. I will definitely ask Judy to help me again when I need someone.”
“Devon was a wonderful cat-sitter. She was timely for every check in and made sure to send me thorough updates about my cat’s eating habits and his mood. She also gave him plenty of exercise and sent me pictures after every visit. Walter (my cat) loved her! I will definitely be re-booking her services!”
“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 love all kinds of animals and my friends and neighbors regularly rely on me to take care of their pets. I have 20+ years of experience being a go to sitter for everyone I know! I have a flexible schedule and am available any time! I am happy to help any time of day, including odd hours such as very early or late! I follow any instructions provided by the client closely and make sure to keep all spaces clean and safe for the pet. I am always respectful of other peoples spaces!
“Linda was great with my cats! They are both former street cats with anxiety and are normally petrified of strangers, and they handled her visits very well. She has a way with cats! Highly recommend her for pet sitting.”
About: Cared for pers for five plus years now dogs cats reptiles is a passion that your pets are properly cared for while your gone my job to protect and care for them i have special skills in deep cleaning and puppies and senior animals care.

About: Hi there! I grew up in Istanbul which many of you would know, is a cat heaven! I love animals because they are honest, pure with their expression of love and appreciation. They live the day as if there is no tomorrow, which personally is something I can look up to. All my life I have been surrounded by multiple pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, snails... now I have two cats, whom I get sad whenever I am away from. I understand how important and emotional it is to find a good sitter when we cannot be around, someone to take care of them as if their own. In your absence I will be a mama, play date, caregiver, and a reliable friend to your little babies. I am a very patient person with compassion, have trained eyes for detail, and endless love for animals. I have been taking care of my partner's family dogs and mini horses whenever they go out of town for the past five years, alongside with my brother's four pawed clients in the last couple years. I'm an aspiring artist working from home, have plenty of time to share my love and care, on most days. I can board couple bonded cats, just as I foster sometimes for a limited time. I live in a two bedroom apartment with two cats, and able to keep the cats separated for the time of boarding. Just as how I introduced my cats slowly, very slowly, I am well aware that it is never a good idea to put them together all of a sudden. One of my cats never met a dog before, so I would not board any dogs at this time. I care for pets as my own, keeping them safe, clean, well-fed and watered, and well played. I believe we owe them at least that much keeping them in our homes.
“Dania was great with our pets and stayed in touch while we were away. Our pets felt very comfortable with her. She’s kind and gentle! We’ll definitely book Dania again for our next trip!”

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. 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 .

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.
