“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!”
“Christopher was fantastic with our 3 year old Rottweiler. Christopher watched our Raleigh girl while we were off getting married. Unprompted, Chris provided updates and photos that showed how at ease our dog was with him and how much fun she was having. Having Chris watching Raleigh kept our minds at ease on the biggest day/weekend of our lives. We can’t thank him enough and hope to have him watch our Raleigh girl again soon!”
“Vanessa was great with our dog and guinea pig while my family was away. She was communicative, sent pictures and videos, followed all our instructions and took great care of our house . We will definitely use her again.”
“Andrea is a fantastic sitter. She took such good care of Melvin while I was away. She sent lots of updates and photos. She also left my apartment perfectly clean. I highly recommend Andrea!”
“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! ❤️”
“Schirn did a wonderful job watching my puppy while I was overseas on vacation. She sent updates and photos every day, and kept her occupied with lots of activity and play. I will (hopefully) work with her again the next time we take a vacation. Thank you!!”
“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!”
“Lenin is very professional, followed instructions to a tee, and let us enjoy our vacation in peace knowing our animals were being loved and cared for. Would definitely recommend and will be using again.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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 :)”
“Our pets love CK! He gave them lots of attention and communicated well with us during our overseas trip. We found our home to be in excellent condition upon our return. We will definitely reach out to CK in the future.”
“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.”
“Jiamin was amazing with my two orange boys while I was traveling for Thanksgiving! I could tell she was a cat expert right away, as they warmed up to her immediately, and she knew exactly how to manage their feeding and bathroom routines. She was super professional, and she provided timely updates and the cutest pictures! Thank you, Jiamin!”
“MintZhet did a wonderful job for us when our regular sitter was out of town. Kind, professional, communicative. Very glad to have met you, MintZhet! Thanks again.”
“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.”
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.

Yin was wonderful! She was incredibly kind, easygoing, and a pleasure to work with. She not only took excellent care of my cat, Greta, but also formed a real attachment to her. I received daily photos, videos, and updates, and knowing how loving and attentive Yin was with Greta gave me the reassurance I needed to truly relax and enjoy my long overseas trip. I came home to a very happy cat! I would absolutely invite Yin to care for Greta again and highly recommend her.

. We are two very neurotic dog mommies who absolutely adore our babies. Keeping that in mind, it’s very hard for us to find sitters that live up to our expectations. Well, we are very happy to say, Stephanie does. She is warm & caring, professional, and able to go the extra mile (like administering medicine and following our special desires). All in all, we’re happy to say we recommend Stephanie with absolutely no reservations.
Chae stayed a few days with my boy while I was on a work trip. She did an excellent job communicating, providing me reports of each day along with photos of my dog. Outstanding job, I will for sure keep her in mind for my future trips! Thank you for taking such good care of Felix!
Linda is the best! She stayed overnight with our 6 year old cat Biscuit for 10 days and followed all of our instructions to a T. She sent amazing photos the whole time and you could see Biscuit was really thriving and having a great time. Very responsive, thoughtful, and responsible. Would definitely book her again!
As always, Stephen was an amazing sitter for Una and for the house while we were away. He was communicative, responsive, and sent lots of cute pics to help us not miss our little Una too much. Stephen’s the best there is, and we’re always so grateful for his kind, thoughtful approach. We’ll definitely rebook in the future!
We love Lauren - this was our third or fourth time having her stay at our place. Her communication is fantastic, she takes great care of our anxious young dog, our senior dog and our attention seeking cat, and she’s super clean and respectful of our home as well. Highly recommended!
ET was wonderful with our dog and cat. She sent very detailed updates throughout the visit and gave them lots of love. It was clear that they were very well cared for and she even helped bringing in a few packages and cleaning up when one animal got sick. Having her watch them gave me peace of mind while I was away and I will definitely be requesting ET again for her sitting services. Thank you, ET!
Lenin was fantastic! He sent me constant updates and photos, and provided terrific communication. He kept my home clean and even took the trash out and cleaned my pups bowl before he left. We have a VERY shy anxious dog, and Lenin provided her with a comfortable space and seemed to have a good understanding of anxious pups. I’m truly impressed. Wonderful sitter and i will absolutely be booking again!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Vanessa was great with my dog, Penny! She was very communicative during the whole day she spent housesitting and arranged a meet and greet beforehand to get all the necessary instructions on Penny’s care. She also left my apartment very clean and organized. I would definitely book with her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Jackson Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Jackson Heights on Rover is $69.55 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 19,280 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.

- 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.
