“Super cat sitter!!! I highly recommend Chris to all the furry parents. He is very considerate, checks in several times a day with pictures and updates. He was concerned that one of my kitties didn't eat the entire food on her dish and he reached out to ask if he could change anything. The other cat liked him right away, he sent me a picture of them hanging out on the couch. I will surely hire him next time I'm away; he made my trip less stressful.”
“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!”
“Schirn was wonderful and our dog immediately seemed to feel comfortable with her. She was very communicative and willing to help problem solve when an obstacle arose. Felt very comfortable with Schirn and would love to have her watch our dog again!”
“Alissa is a great cat sitter, flexible with multiple drop ins, extended visits etc. and very communicative throughout - Alissa looked after my cat for 10 days, and so this was much appreciated! Lots of updates and pictures/videos and my cat seemed to really enjoy all the pampering and play time and love he was getting. She followed all the (many) instructions I left. Very glad to have found Alissa through Rover and will definitely book again.”
“Lia was great, she took care of Asher for a couple of hours, she made sure that he was fed, given water, and taken outside. She kept me updated with pictures of him and took very good care of him. Thank you Lia!”
“Lilly was available last minute, which was exactly what we needed! She’s super friendly and my dogs loved her! She took great care of them and I was able to go out with my husband without worrying. Will definitely book again!!”
About: Hi, I’m a pet sitter based in New York City offering calm, attentive, and highly reliable in-home pet care. I provide a steady, low stress presence for pets who thrive on routine, familiarity, and gentle attention while their owners are away. My approach is quiet, consistent, and detail-oriented, focused on maintaining your pet’s normal rhythm so they feel secure in their own environment. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats of varying temperaments, including pets who are shy, sensitive, or accustomed to more structured care. I take time to understand each pet’s behavior, preferences, and routine so care feels seamless and familiar. Clients can expect clear communication, timely updates, and thoughtfully documented check-ins with photos so you always feel connected and informed while traveling. I also take great care in respecting your home. Maintaining a clean, orderly space and ensuring everything is exactly as you left it. Whether you need overnight care, drop-ins, or extended stays, my goal is simple: your pet remains comfortable, your home remains respected, and you travel without concern. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter. I can't wait to meet you and your beloved pets! Warm regards, Nellie I offer flexible availability for morning, midday, afternoon, and evening drop-in visits for both cats and dogs, as well as weekend care and select overnight stays. I’m also available for last minute bookings when possible and respond quickly to messages to keep scheduling simple and reliable. My goal is to provide steady, dependable care that fits your pet’s routine and your travel plans. I prioritize a safe, calm, and consistent environment for every pet I care for. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, litter care, and any medications, while paying close attention to their behavior and comfort level. Dogs are always securely leashed on walks, and cats are never forced into interaction, they’re cared for on their terms. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and mindful of security at all times. You’ll receive regular photo updates so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for.
About: I have worked and taken care of Animals my whole life. A dog changed how I see life. You realize all you need is some attention and reasoning an life can move on smoothly! I have two current dogs I care for dearly, I take care of them as they were human too. So I would expect me to do the same as well to your dogs. No matter what size or breed. To me and many dog owners know that no one can be as loyal as your dog. We see dogs more then just a pet to someone else. We see some them as humans best friend! Your dogs will love to meet a new friend! They will definitely love to meet me!
“Another awesome house-sitting visit from Austin! We used to feel nervous or even guilty about going away, but now vacations are worry-free for us knowing that Lina has a chance to hang out with her buddy. Over the years he has really earned her trust and in a way that no other human has, besides my partner and I, which really says something. High recommend! :)”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From start to finish, the communication was great. Mint took the time to send updates, photos, and little notes that showed how much he genuinely cared. It gave us such peace of mind while we were away knowing our pup was being so well looked after. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring sitter!”
“Look no further for the best person to trust your fur baby with-Razan is simply the best! Super sweet, great communication, truly cares and is sure to put you at ease. Thank you again for everything 💗”
“May went above & beyond to make my senior girl that has lost her hearing feel very safe. She finally come out from her kennel to be with her on her own free will. That is huge progress for Scarlett! I so appreciate all the effort May put in! Ryder my other girl also warmed up pretty quickly. We will definatly request May again!!!! Thank you so much!”
“Riouja arrived before time - she was very communicative, sent hourly updates with pictures , took chia to the groomer and back , was loving and kind to our dog. We would not hesitate to hire her again recommend her highly. She’s a dog lover and our dog loved her !”
“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.”
“Danny was amazing, truly! Communicative while I was traveling but not overbearing. Sent photos of places that are FAR from my apartment, so I loved knowing that my dog was getting good, long, solid walks. Place was tidy, thorough dog sitting recap was sent - I felt so good coming home, and have used Rovers in the past where that wasn't the case!”
“Connor (CK) took great care of Roxy while we were out of town for 3 days. He took her on walks and to the dog park, and provided lots of attention. He followed our instructions and took good care of our home. He sent pics and a report each day. She was calm when we got back home — a sure sign that she was well cared for.”
“Absolutely awesome! Great communication and was very understanding with my dog that has some unique quirks. I came back to an apartment that was as clean or better than I left it after Emily has watched Benji overnight for 6 days. 10/10 would recommend Emily!”
About: I started out day sitting my friends dogs in Manhattan. When I moved to queens, my housemate has a cavapoo, Boba whom I been currently been co-sitting for over two years. I been the primary sitter as I am at home mostly and am used to the daily routines of seeing what Boba needs and understand him more and more everyday. I have a flexible schedule as I am in between jobs and mostly around the area. I spend most of my day around my house dog. On top of that I am a health conscious person and I love bringing Boba along on my workouts and walks around the neighborhood. I look forward to growing the community! I've setup systems to ensure safety as a priority. In the day Boba stays in the living area and it is fenced up to prevent him from going into the Kitchen and Bedrooms as those areas have food which is not only bad for his diet but could be a hazard. The living area will be filled with his favorite toys and occasionally to promote positive behavior,I will put together nourishment toys such as a semi-sealed container with treats to keep Boba engaged and entertained throughout the day. I walk him twice a day usually if the weather permits which is after lunch and after dinner.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Jackson Heights is $60

Andrea was absolutely amazing! The communication was great, she sent pictures, videos, and updates throughout the stay. She followed my puppy’s routine perfectly and I could tell when I got back home that Archie absolutely loved her and was well taken care of. Could not recommend her more!
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!
Michelle was great! Midnight is a handful and a bit of a silly boy so initially it took some time for him to get used to a new Sitter, but it seems like by the end of the week he was more relaxed! Michelle sent lots of photos and was great at communicating! Especially when there were thunderstorms (which my dog hates); she was resourceful and found his thunder coat, left music on for him, and helped console him! I will definitely use her again!
I honestly can’t recommend Saifa enough! She came to our hotel to watch our 16 week old Lab puppy, Winston, while we were at a concert, and she made the whole experience completely stress free. She kept me updated throughout the entire night with texts and lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. It was so nice being able to enjoy the concert without worrying because I always knew Winston was happy, safe, and having a great time. Taking care of a 16 week old puppy isn’t always easy, but she was so patient, attentive, and clearly loves dogs. Winston took to her right away, and it was obvious he was getting plenty of attention and affection. She was kind, dependable, and so easy to communicate with from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again the next time we’re in the city. Winston absolutely adored her, and I know he’ll be excited to see her again. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your pup, she’s the one!
Karina was so great with Luna. She sent several photos daily while we were away, and she followed all of our care instructions. Luna seemed quite content in the photos, which made me happy to see! And Karina left our apartment just as we had left it. Would definitely recommend her.
Tenzin is absolutely amazing - a hero and a lifesaver, truly can't say enough good things. She took care of two high-needs dogs (one is a a senior dog with multiple medical issues, the other has severe separation anxiety) while I was out of the country for a week. The older dog developed new symptoms just a few days before I left, and I almost canceled the trip, but Tenzin's experience and competence made me feel secure enough to go, and she kept up a constant flow of information and photos, so I knew the pups were well and happy!
As usual, Leslie was amazing. We had our wedding this weekend and, of course, wanted our fur baby to be part of the celebration. Leslie made everything with Teddy completely seamless, from photos before the ceremony to the reception itself. Because of her, we were able to fully enjoy our wedding and share so many special moments with Teddy without a single worry. Teddy was so well cared for that the venue even allowed him to stay longer than originally planned. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us complete peace of mind throughout the day. Thank you, Leslie, for being such an important part of our wedding and for helping make it even more special. We are so grateful for your care, professionalism, and all the love you give Teddy. We truly could not have imagined the day without you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Jackson Heights on Rover is $69.55 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 19,070 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jackson Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jackson Heights. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
