“Also always, Andrea is amazing! She is helpful and perfect with my dog, who has some triggers! This time she stayed later because I was running late and it was much appreciated!”
“We have been trusting Austin with the care of our sensitive rescue cat Lina for years now. She is normally very wary of people, but she loves Austin (which says a lot about his kindness, patience, and compassion for animals) and when he house-sits we know our trips can be worry free knowing she is cared for. Yet another trip where we come home to a relaxed, happy, and content kitty! Thank you Austin!”
“Stephen always goes above and beyond. Always! We so appreciate the attention and care he gives to Una when we’re away. He sends the best pics and offers clear updates when needed. He’s the best!”
“Jiamin was great! She stayed with my fur babies for 3 nights and treated them both very nicely according to their personalities. She even cut one of their nails so that he could make biscuits on her 😂 When I got back home the apartment was left just as I left it. The cat litter gets messy sometimes and she cleaned that off the floors too. Thank you Jiamin! I would definitely book again.”
“We initially planned to board our dog Frankel during our vacation. Unfortunately 5 days before the trip he broke his toe and ended up in a foot cast, leaving us unable to put him in a boarding facility. We scrambled a bit with only a few days to find an alternative, and then we came across Lilly's profile. She took absolutely fantastic care of Frankel while we were away and put our minds at ease with daily pictures and videos of Frankel having a great time. Lilly made sure to give him his medication and take the extra steps needed to keep his cast safe and dry, she was extremely communicative, and even offered to water our plants and bring the mail in. Frankel had the best time with Lilly. We really can't say enough great things about the experience and will definitely be using Lilly again for future trips!”
“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!”
“Christopher was genuinely excellent with Krunk. He warmed up to him right away. They got along incredible. Christopher is very thorough. He sees all of Krunk's needs because he does have medical conditions and needs specific medications and things. He was very attentive to him and very caring!! He is so professional and picked up on Krunks mannerisms right away. My mind was put to ease and that’s the most important thing. I would recommend him to anybody. He truly is a blessing.🐶🐾🐶🐾”
“Zoey was absolutely wonderful! She was punctual, reliable, and kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. She followed everything I asked and took such great care of Louie. Most importantly, Louie absolutely loved her! 🐶❤️ I would definitely recommend Zoey and would happily have her watch Louie again!”
“Loved having Miguel over to dog-sit Missy. Very clear and prompt communication, punctual, frequent updates during the day, and a genuine interest in understanding Missy's routine and keeping her on it as if we were home ourselves. Open and friendly, it was easy to trust him at our home. Missy is not yet accustomed to being alone, and Miguel was very understanding when we explained. He even came prepared with food for the day so that he wouldn't have to leave her to step out! Would definitely book with Miguel again!”
“Rebecca was great with our 2 babies. It was their first time with her and they settled in right away. She was sent pictures and updates throughout the night to ease our mind, which was so appreciated. She was able to handle our 55 lb puppy with ease. Can’t wait to have her back!”
“Took amazing care of our house and our dog! Kept us updated everyday on how she was doing and when we came home the house was better than we left it!”
“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!”
“Anastasiia was great with my cat Rubin - he was comfortable immediately and sat next to her on the couch on the first day. She asked lots of questions about his routine and his needs to make sure he was comfortable. She stayed at my apt while I was away and left everything clean and tidy, too.”
“Wonderful experience! He was incredibly caring and mindful of every family’s relationship with their dog. He even wiped Topanga’s paws without us saying a word. Thank you for treating her so well!”
“Razan did a wonderful job sitting for our pups as well as our place! My pups can be particular and she adapted to them and their quirks well - she had great communication and gave lots of pics and updates!”
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.
“Abdelkader was excellent! He was communicative and followed all the directives that I left for him. To be honest, I don’t plan on using anyone else for my cat sitting services if I can avoid it. He’s just that good! I look forward to booking his services again!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chae was absolutely amazing with Louie! She was so caring, attentive, and wonderful with him, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. Louie was so happy and well cared for, and I truly appreciate how much love and attention Chae gave him. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️🐾
Rebecca is so great with my pup jojo. This is the second time we had Rebecca as a sitter and she made me feel so comfortable leaving jojo in such excellent hands. It’s also always a nice sign to come home to a tired pup - it means I know jojo got a great walk during the day. Highly recommend Rebecca and we will continue to book her!
Nicole was fantastic, and very flexible when we asked if she could start the stay a little earlier than booked! She sent so many updates throughout the day, and lots of pictures. I loved that she took Itachi on long walks - he was very happy to spend time with her and we’d love to book with Nicole again!
Eleni took such excellent care of our husky! He has separation anxiety, and some dog reactivity at times so it’s always nerve wracking leaving him, but Eleni gave us updates throughout the whole day, and he adored her. She was very prompt, and rolled with some scheduling adjustments on our end. Would love to book her again, she’s amazing!
Arianna is the best!! I was nervous leaving my former shelter cat for two nights because he is very shy with new people but he warmed up to her SO fast! She must have a special touch with cats. She was communicative and very easy to coordinate with. Would definitely use her again.
Brenda was absolutely amazing with Nala! She was so kind and caring, and her communication was brilliant throughout. She sent me lots of photos and updates, which made me feel completely at ease knowing Nala was happy and being so well looked after. She also left my apartment incredibly clean and tidy, which I really appreciated. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking Brenda again. Highly recommend!
We've been working with Austin for 5 years but this time was different: our younger dog is just out of a medical emergency and Austin was so vigilant about his medicines, diet, and keeping in touch with us. We couldn't miss this close family wedding out of town and we know we're so lucky to have someone who can step in.
Rose is absolutely amazing with my puppy! From the moment I met her, I could tell how genuinely caring and loving she is with dogs. Leaving my little guy with someone else can make me nervous, but Rose made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. She is so patient and attentive with him and treated him like he was her own. I really appreciated the updates and knowing that he is happy, safe, and getting lots of love while I am away. It means so much to find someone I can truly trust with my pup. I’m so happy we found Rose and will absolutely be booking with her again. I couldn’t recommend her enough! 🐾❤️
Jiamin is absolutely amazing and will definitely book again! We booked a home stay for a couple of days while we were out of town. She kept us updated with cute photos and videos of our cats, came over early to meet our pets & respected their boundaries, and left our home spotless. One of our cats can be shy, but she was able to quickly engage with her in play. Would definitely recommend Jiamin to any pet parent!
Karaline was amazing—everything you’d want in a sitter! She was very communicative with all of Luna’s daily exploits—keeping us updated on her habits and sending lots of pictures. She left everything super clean and offered to go above and beyond. We would book again in a heartbeat!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
