“Anastasia is great with my 5 month old puppy. She also kept my apartment clean. She made sure that she followed puppy’s napping schedule and also tons of play and kisses. Puppy was very very content when I got home.”
“Nellie was not only amazing with our pup, but she was also so personable with us! From the start, she communicated really well, asked thoughtful questions about our pup’s needs, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving her in Nellie’s care. It looks like our girl may have found another bestie! 🥰🐶 Thank you so much, Nellie! We truly appreciate you and will absolutely be reaching out again! ❤️”
“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!”
“Andrea was so great about our dogs routine and etiquette plan which is quite regimented! Photos and videos galore! She was everything we could have asked for and more. She honestly made our trip more enjoyable because we had nothing to worry about.”
“Mint did a great job watching our pup Benji! We got updates throughout the time he was watching him, photos, etc and felt extremely comfortable. Nothing better than knowing he’s in good hands when we’re away and we would 100% reach out to Mint again for future dog care needs. Thank you Mint!!”
About: I have always been surrounded by dogs and cats and I thoroughly enjoy being in their company. I have an immense love for animals and find great joy in spending time with them. I am currently taking online classes, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I am able to dedicate plenty of time to spending quality time with your best friends. I have veterinary experience from working at an animal hospital, which has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. I am detailed oriented and thrive on following directions precisely to ensure the best possible care for your furry friends.
“we loved Grace so much!!!! she took such great care of Eloise and sent lots of pics of our happy girl. Felt confident El was well taken care of and understood.”
“Ruojia was a life-saver for me when my dog was going through a health issue, and she stayed with her for the day while I was at work for a last-minute booking. She was incredibly responsive, kind, and understanding and it was a huge relief to know my pup was in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“Karaline was a wonderful sitter! Kept me up to date on everything in the apt and with my little old lady, Elvira. She’s sweet and attentive to details and my kitty got along perfectly with her. Very adaptable to your animals needs (Elvira needs a lot of cleaning plus medicine), receptive to communication and very clean! My apt was spotless when I came back. I’d absolutely book her again, had me stress free the entire time.”
“Ivana was phenomenal with Picasso. Her energy, warmth, and attentiveness kept him engaged and happy the entire time. He clearly adored her and I came home to a dog who was relaxed, joyful and well cared for. I would recommend Ivana without hesitation and would gladly book her again”
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been something I'm passionate about. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages for family, friends, and through my professional experience. Whether it's going for walks, providing enrichment and playtime, feeding, or simply giving them love and attention, I enjoy making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and comfortable. I previously worked at a dog daycare, where I supervised and cared for large groups of dogs, learning how to understand different personalities and make sure every pup had a fun and safe experience. I now work at a veterinary emergency hospital, where I help care for and stabilize pets while supporting and communicating with their owners. This experience has taught me how to recognize changes in a pet's behavior, stay calm under pressure, and provide compassionate, dependable care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care that I would give my own, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Im currently working full time, 3-4 days of the week. I’m an available to play and care for your pup(s) during my free time as needed! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. With my experience working in a veterinary emergency hospital, I'm trained to recognize signs of illness, injury, or stress and know how to respond quickly if a problem arises. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I'll follow your pet's routine, respect any special instructions, and keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in safe, loving hands.
“Charlee was wonderful! She took amazing care of our puggle, who is lovable, but also very high energy and head strong. We really appreciated the care and consideration she showed our dog and our home.”
About: I’ve grown up with all types of pets from a young age ranging from birds, bunnies, turtles, cats & dogs. I’ve helped train my dog and cats from when they were a couple of months old with potty-training, outside activities, being around other people, etc. I currently work a remote job Monday-Thursday. It’s a flexible job, and would love to use the free time I have on Fridays/weekends to pet sit and care for fur-babies! I currently am free to pet sit at a clients home and would follow any instructions they may have that involves being careful with opening front doors/fences, crate training, and understanding their pets bathroom needs.
“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!”
“Brenda is very kind, very loving. very affectionate to my for baby Noah. she's very respectful shows up on time. gives lots of pictures whenever she's watching. Noah. this is going to be my dog sitter probably for the rest of my time in Brooklyn. so you might as well book her early cuz if you don't I'm going to have her booked out”
“Stephen was very communicative, providing regular updates and photos. He was so sweet with our dog and attentive to his needs— particularly mindful of his recovery from a surgery. We would absolutely work with him again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years and absolutely love spending time with them. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and plenty of attention while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am home most of the day, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, bathroom breaks, and companionship, and I can be flexible with different routines and schedules. I really enjoy having animals around, so caring for pets naturally fits into my daily routine. In my home, I have two levels that allow me to comfortably accommodate pets with different needs. If a pet needs their own space or would prefer to be separated from other animals, I can provide a separate area for them. If they are comfortable around other pets and enjoy companionship, I can also allow them to spend time with my pets under supervision. I’ll always prioritize each pet’s comfort, safety, and individual routine.
“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!”
“Kennedy took care of our baby Luna dog for 2 weeks while we were away, and she was absolutely amazing! We never had a chance to miss Luna too much because we received two daily updates with photos before we slept and after we woke up. She managed daily medication, cleaning of a small wound and even took Luna to the vet for her monthly injection. She was very responsive, easy to communicate with and we loved working with her. She even brought in our packages and left our house clean. Thank you Kennedy!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jackson Heights
Karaline is so wonderful! Our pup Koopa loved her from their first meet & greet. Karaline is great at communicating and sent us many updates/photos/video during our time away. We recently adopted Koopa and don't want to leave her alone for several hours, so having Karaline there for the evening was a huge relief. She made sure Koopa had her toys and stayed out of trouble, and also showed patience and care when Koopa had an accident in the house. Karaline was very attentive to Koopa who still has her anxious, hyper energy from coming out of a shelter recently. Koopa was able to relax in her care. It was a great experience for everyone and we'd love to have Karaline back sometime!!
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.
