“Anastasiia sets the bar high in her pet care! She did an excellent job communicating with me regularly, sending pics and updates, and showing up on time to meet me for key pickup and drop-off. I was very impressed with the way she cleaned my home and cared for my pets. I will definitely hire her again! She is also a sweet and kind person, which is a huge plus. Highly recommend!”
“Stephanie was amazing!! She took such good care of Woods and clearly genuinely enjoyed looking after him. She was communicative, sent a ton of photos and videos, and even treated him to a pup cup! Woods loved her dog Lola who came along for the stay - we love when he gets to hang with other dogs!”
“Razan was a great help when we needed to book a sitter pretty last minute. She came over for a meet and greet and was really thorough in her questioning and communication as it related to Hugo. While Hugo was in her care I felt very in the know of how things were going and knew he was safe! She kept our space very clean and was a great guest and sitter to have.”
“We booked Austin to stay with our cat while we were away for the weekend. Austin was compassionate and professional, giving us regular updates over the course of his stay and going above and beyond to thoroughly follow her complex feeding routine. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind he provided for us while we were away and we’ve already booked him to watch her again in a few weeks. If you’re looking to be sure your furry friend gets the best off care while you’re away don’t hesitate to hire Austin!”
“Becka has watched our dog twice now and both times has been so good updating us and willing to stay as long as we need! Definitely recommend and we will be using her for awhile :)”
“May is terrific! I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. She is dependable, responsible, attentive, and incredibly caring, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. We especially appreciated the regular updates, photos, and thoughtful communication, which allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying. It was obvious that our dog, Dante, received plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and individualized May is everything you could hope for in a pet sitter. We would gladly use her services again and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for outstanding care for their pets.”
“Really amazing job. Kept me in the know. Very kind, super sweet and traveled pretty far to take care of my puppy. Even tucked him into bed when it was time to leave. Will rebook if schedule allows!”
“TJ took such great care of my senior pup over the Fourth of July weekend, I was especially nervous about my dog and fireworks, and TJ kept me updated and kept my dog as happy as can be. Would definitely rebook, and I’m so appreciative.”
“We had a great experience with him! We have three dogs, so it’s definitely a lot to manage, but he did such a great job taking care of all of them. He sent us lots of pictures and updates, which was really reassuring while we were away. He also kept our house clean and tidy. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of when we got home. Would definitely book him again and highly recommend him!”
“Devon took great care of our two dogs while we were away for 4 days. She sent us plenty of updates and pictures and followed all the pet care instructions we gave her. We used her for a homestay and our apartment was in perfect shape when we got back. Our dogs seemed to really enjoy her company and we would definitely book her again!”
“Enmanuel is great! Always responsive, provides photos and my husband and I know our pup Benji is in good hands with him. Will be happy to work with Enmanuel in the future!”
“My elderly temperamental dog loved her time with Adeib. She immediately took to him, something that rarely happens. He kept me regularly up to date and I think the two of them had a great time. Would definitely book with Adeib again.”
“Anna house sat for us to watch our dog and two cats, and they were all really happy when we got back. She was always very responsive and followed all instructions for their food and care, and she was extremely flexible due to a scheduling change we had. I would absolutely book her again, and recommend her for anyone else!”
“Faith is the best! She came to my home to watch my 4-month-old puppy and everything went smoothly. She's reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. She sent regular updates and photos throughout, and her professionalism and experience put me completely at ease. We'll definitely book Faith again!”
“Brenda is wonderful! Sumo had such a lovely time with her, and we would tell he was very well taken care of. He's a big guy but she handled him with ease. We absolutely recommend Brenda for your pittie -- they will be very well cared for!”
“Melisa is incredible with my pup. She sends the best photos, is very responsive and is even able to get him to take his medicine! Henri adores her so very much! Highly recommend!”

CK was an excellent choice to watch our girl, Cookie. Cookie is a senior dog reactive lady and CK Handled her like a pro. We got pictures at the end of every day and he left our place just as we left it. Couldn’t even tell he was there! We will definitely be booking with him again.
Caoimhe is awesome! Highly recommended! I was on a business trip for 4 days and i was impressed with the level of care she provided to my senior cat! Caoimhe was fantastic in keeping me updated with how my cat was doing with frequent pics and messages! I just came back home today and my cat was happy and relaxed as if i had never left home! Will be booking Caoimhe again on my next trip!!!
Ariana was awesome! She stayed in our home with Allen for 10 days while we were away, and we felt really comfortable knowing Allen was in good hands. She was communicative, reliable and took great care of both Allen and our home. We came back to a happy pup and everything just as we left it. We'd absolutely recommend her and would happily book with her again!
Lily Beth was a wonderful dog sitter\! 🐾❤️ I’ve used her services numerous times, and every experience has been great\. She’s reliable, caring, and someone I trust to take good care of my fur baby\. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and dependable dog sitter 💛💙♥️
I couldn’t be happier with the care my pets received. Rose was reliable, gentle, and incredibly attentive — the kind of person you instantly trust with your animals. My dog, who is anxious, warmed up quickly with Rose. I got regular updates and happy photos that made everything feel easy and stress‑free. Truly exceptional pet care.
Juliana was amazing with Sky! We didn’t worry about Sky at all while we were gone. She got plenty of attention and love, and we received lots of photos and updates from Juliana while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her. We’ll definitely have her watch Sky again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Jackson Heights is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $94 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Jackson Heights walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Jackson Heights maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
