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!

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!

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.
“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 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.
About: Hi there! My name is Nora, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. Growing up with dogs, I’ve been helping them throughout my life, so I’m well-versed in different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’ve personally had dogs ranging from a petite 15-pound Havanese to a massive 150-pound French Mastiff. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, administering basic care, or maintaining consistent routines, I understand the importance of ensuring pets feel safe and secure. In addition to my experience with dogs, I also have a fish tank and black shorthair cat of my own. This has made me particularly attuned to feline personalities and the subtle details that contribute to a cat’s comfort and happiness. I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone’s care, and I treat every animal in my care with the same attentiveness and affection I give my own. I’m happy to meet your pet where they are, whether they need lots of activity or just a calm, steady presence. I’m committed to helping keep your pet happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away! I’m currently studying for the GRE so I’m looking to fill my time with something fulfilling like pet care! I’m available most days 8am-6pm and I’m open to night visits or overnight stays. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize maintaining their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I understand the importance of familiarity for pets, so I strictly follow feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and any house rules, such as crate training or furniture boundaries. I always make sure to provide regular updates and photos to ensure you feel confident that your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you are away! For dogs, I ensure they receive appropriate exercise based on their age and energy level. This may include long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxed companionship. I closely observe their body language and behavior to ensure their comfort and happiness. As a cat owner myself, I am particularly attentive to feline needs. I keep litter boxes clean, maintain feeding routines, and provide both stimulation and quiet spaces for cats. I recognize that cats often require patience and calm energy, and I allow them to set the pace for interaction. Some people say cats are easy to care for, but I understand that they require an immense amount of care, including daily play and just as much love and respect you would give to a dog!
“Luciana is the best - always makes time to play/socialize with pets while we're away. Never any issues, always goes above and beyond. Great peace of mind to know she's taking care of our pets whenever we are away.”

“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!”
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.
“Rebecca was amazing and we’ll definitely book her again. She was communicative, followed our instructions and worked with our schedule (including a last minute request). Took excellent care of our three cats while we were out of the country for 10 days. Came back to happy, healthy cats. We had total peace of mind and were so grateful for her care!”

About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs since I was a kid and I have loved every dog that my family or friends has had . I’ve also more recently looked after cats and learned to love them as well! I’m currently working from home Monday through Friday so I’m happy to get outside for some fresh air for a quick walk or work from another location during the day I carefully watch over any pets I’m with at a clients home or apartment and make sure they’re happy and well fed and we’ll hydrated
About: My sister got the cutest little Bichon Poodle☺️, and ever since he joined our family, I’ve been obsessed with dogs! I’ve helped take care of him since he was basically in diapers, and he’s turning 3 soon. Unfortunately, he moved to another state, so I decided to share my love for dogs elsewhere 🐾 I’m great at: • Walks & playtime • Feeding schedules and portion control • Giving lots of attention and affection • Keeping dogs calm, safe, and comfortable • Following routines and care instructions carefully • Cleaning up after pets and keeping spaces tidy • Sending photo/video updates to owners • Being patient with shy or energetic dogs • Making sure pups get plenty of exercise, water, and potty breaks • Giving dogs lots of cuddles and companionship 🤍 I currently work from home as a software engineer, which gives me a very flexible schedule throughout the day. Since I’m home most of the time, I’m able to give pets lots of attention, regular walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m also comfortable with crate-trained dogs and can safely crate pets when needed. I always make sure pets are in a safe, clean, and pet-proof environment where they can feel comfortable, relaxed, and secure at all times

About: Animals have been part of my life for over 40 years. I have shared my home with many pets, and I've rescued many along the way. On the pet sitting side, I was a pet sitter during my college years and have now spent the last two years regularly watching my niece's dog, so I'm comfortable and consistent with day-to-day care routines. These days I focus on small dogs and cats. I treat every pet with patience and genuine care, and over the years I've built lasting, trusted relationships with veterinarians, so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether it's a drop-in visit, a walk, or overnight care, I'll make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you're away. I'd love to meet you and your pet. Reach out anytime to arrange a meet-and-greet. I work part-time and I'm home by 4pm Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, with full availability on weekends and my other days off, giving me flexible time for visits, walks, and care. At your home, I follow your routines closely and secure doors and gates before leaving. At my home, your pet gets a calm space alongside my own my cats, with attentive, one-on-one care. I also have a fenced in yard.
About: I've pretty much grown up with pets my entire life and I've taken care of a variety of dogs & cats throughout the last 17 years. I've pet sat for family friends, co-workers, friends of friends, and even former bosses! I also used to be a nanny for a family with two kids and two dogs, and frequently took care of their dogs and the house over the summer each year (5 years). It was always the highlight of my summer spending time with the dogs and making sure they were happy and comfortable while their family was away! I have quite a lot of experience with dogs and cats that are skittish or just a little bit shy <3 I have owned dogs and cats for most of my life, and currently have a sweet cat named Pumpkin. One of my former dogs and cats were rescued from a puppy mill and an unsafe home, then adopted by my family, so both of them had some behavioral and/or health issues. As a result, I am quite accustomed to being attentive and providing extra care and love to pets who may need just a little more extra care and support! I work with both puppies and much older dogs, and young kittens or senior cats. I have also helped with giving pets their medication. I am newly unemployed from my full time job, so my availability is quite open! I am happy to do house visits, overnights, during the day stays, and dog walks! I am absolutely flexible with my schedule, and I always do my best to fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine overall. I do my best to make each and every pet under my care feel safe and as comfortable as they do while with their owner!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Jackson Heights
Senica was absolutely wonderful with Bella! She was so attentive and caring, especially when Bella got a little anxious after we separated. She went above and beyond to make Bella feel comfortable by changing her environment, taking her for a walk, and holding her to help calm her down. I really appreciated how patient and thoughtful she was throughout the experience. It was such a relief knowing Bella was in such good hands, and I would definitely recommend Senica to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter! She was also able to accommodate a last minute request and I will forever be grateful for her.

We’re so grateful to Angie for looking after our little Moylan! ❤️ She took such great care of him, making sure he was fed, played with, and given plenty of attention. She kept us updated with lovely pictures and messages throughout, which gave us such peace of mind. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. We’re so thankful she was able to mind Moylan and would recommend Angie 100% to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet!

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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
