“Looking forward to having Christopher and Fritos bond - seems like a great fit for us. Christopher is very kind and I trust he will be able to be good company for Fritos for a midday check in and pee break!”
“Nancy took care of our cat, Moon, while we were away for a week. She sent lots of photos and regular updates, and Moon had a great time with her at each visit! Nancy is our long-term sitter and is always dependable and works so well with our shy cat.”
About: I grew up in somewhat of a menagerie in south Florida where we had lots of property and animals like 5 Akitas, a ring tailed lemur, a kinkajou, 2 house cats and 2 big cats (lynx & bobcat). I am no stranger to rolling up my sleeves at home or for my clients. I've cared for pets internationally in Morocco and domestically in NYC. As a natural caregiver and as a clinical social worker I have the highest standards when it comes to those in my charge. I currently work remotely on a part time basis as a recruiter and a caregiver for my grandmother. We have a full house with support coming from many directions and I am looking for a way to make a little extra cash while spending time with animals. My grandmother and husband would prefer not to have a permanent pet, so this is a great compromise. As a clinical social worker I take my work with humans and pets very seriously. It's a mission and I took an oath as an MSW graduate to do my best for all in my charge. My home is in a quiet residential neighborhood in Jackson Heights near a dog park. My home is secure, comes with a backyard and is very clean. Nothing would please me more than to have a furry guest from time to time.
“Abdelkader is the best! He took care of my cat while I was on vacation and even was able to accomodate some last minute changes on scheduling to make sure my cat was okay and happy. I would totally book him again for my next trip. Totally recommended.”
“Our cat Dewey was in great hands with Devon, who did drop-in visits over a few days. Devon was communicative and gave us a lot of confidence that Dewey was being well looked after: highly recommend her as a sitter!”
“Nellie loved playing and spending time with Tia! Nellie has A LOT of energy and Tia was able to match it perfectly. Even when my phone was damaged on vacation, she was still super communicative about what was going on with my puppy. It was so reassuring to come home to full reports, photos, and a happy and healthy girl! Thanks so much Tia!”
“Taylor has been amazing with my two dogs, especially since they have some peculiarities. Caring and concerned, I wish I could take her to my next job location! ”
“Another wonderful week of stress free trip because Karaline has everything fully under control and i receive messages and pics daily so i always know what’s going on. Kitty very happy and everything clean 💕 my go to catsitter has done it again!”
About: Hello! I’m Nicole, a reliable and caring pet sitter and dog walker. While I don’t have any pets of my own right now, I’ve grown up with dogs and am a loving cat aunt to several of my friends’ fur babies. When you’re at work or out of town I’m happy to stop by for some quality time, food, fresh water, playtime and plenty of pets! I also love getting outside, so I’d be thrilled to take your dog for a nice, long, refreshing walk. I’m responsible and trustworthy and will treat your pet and your home with the same care I have for my own and will keep you in the loop with plenty of cute photos. I’m currently on the hunt for a new full time job so I have weekdays and weekends free to drop in and spend time with your pets. Prior to my visit, let’s connect so I can get a sense of your pet’s daily routine and preferences. I love spending time with animals and want to give them the attention and care they deserve.
“Miguel is great! Totally reliable, right on time every day, kept me posted on everything - and my super-shy cat even came out to take a look at him while he was here, which is a first!”
“Lillybeth is a fantastic cat sitter! She visited Smokey daily and made sure he was well taken care of and, of course, had fun at playtime. She was very communicative and sent multiple pictures and updates daily. I would absolutely have her look after Smokey again.”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals since I was 3, especially exotic animals like reptiles and avians. I’m a volunteer at ASPCA shelter now. Although I’ve never had dogs and cats myself, I had some experience of baby sitting them for my friends. I’m a freelancer now, so I’m pretty flexible with my schedule everyday. Feel free to contact me even if it’s the same day work. I’ll make sure I crack the door open a little bit first and always keep the door closed when I clean cat litter or anything to make sure my client’s pet won’t sneak out
About: I've been dog walking and sitting for four years in both New York and Los Angeles. I've worked with dogs of all ages, shapes and sizes all over the city. I'm experienced in dog play groups and hikes. I've also administered medicine when needed. I grew up around pooches as small as Pomeranians and as big as Great Danes. I've done it all and can't wait to keep the good times rolling with your pup! I am a freelance writer (mostly advertising) which means my hours are flexible and I have plenty of free time during the day to care for your pups. I also have weekend availability when needed. I have years of dog walking and sitting experience. I'm comfortable with the full array of harnesses and leashes and have supervised countless play dates at dog parks if that's something your pup is into. I've always kept a great line of communication with pet owners so they know their loved ones are safe and most importantly - they know exactly what happened on their little guy's walk. Personally, I have two cats at home and I give them their little medicines so I am comfortable providing that service to your pet if needed.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for 14 years. Family, friends, neighbors and even coworkers reach out to me to take care of their pets. I have cared of dogs of all sizes and age ranges! I have a 1 year old puppy of my own! I work from home Mondays and Fridays with a light work load. Most of those days I’m just entertaining my own dog. She would love a friend to play with. Luna ( my puppy) and I take about 2-3 walks and she loves to go to the park and play/ chase squirrels. I of course also play in my apartment with the pets.
“Everything I had requested (wet food prep, litterbox cleanup, and pets) was done and documented very well! No complaints, Mayleth was quick to respond and on time for scheduled visits. Will definitely rebook and recommend to other pet parents who are looking for a warm and reliable sitter. Thank you, Mayleth!”
About: I grew up with a dog and a cat, and I adopted my first cat last year. The intervening years have been filled with pet sitting cats and dogs of all sizes (from my Uncle’s Chihuahua to my Brother’s Full Size Great Danoodle and Bernadoodle!). I’d love to check in on or walk your furry friend while you’re away and give them *almost* as much love as you! Whether your favorite furry friend is shy and needs patience or outgoing and just wants a companion for zoomies, I'll keep them safe and happy while you're gone. From simple tasks (feeding, walking, etc.) to the more complicated ones (administering medicine, deep cleaning litter boxes, or following your specialized plan), I'm here for it all! I'm available most weekdays 9-5 and am open to early morning/late evening sessions as well. I also have availability on some weekends; please send me a message and we can find something that works! The best part of meeting animals is learning their quirks and what makes them special. I want to get to know your pet and personalize their care.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Jackson Heights is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jackson Heights
Xiaoying was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly responsible, attentive, and thoughtful throughout the entire drop-in visit. She uploaded lots of adorable photos of my cat, along with very detailed updates about how everything was going. It really helped me feel reassured knowing my cat was being well taken care of while I was away. Communication with Xiaoying was also excellent. She was always responsive, easy to communicate with. I could really tell that she genuinely cared about my cat and took her responsibilities seriously. I’m so grateful for her care and attention, and I would absolutely book with her again! Highly recommend Xiaoying to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Karaline has made my life 500x better checking in on my 2 dogs while i'm at work or on business travel. She is so communicative and my dogs are obsessed with her! She also takes the best photos of them. I don't even want to be writing this review because i want to gatekeep her!!! We love you Karaline!
Words are simply not enough to describe how wonderful Jasmine was with my little old lady Luna. She is incredibly reliable, caring and attentive to my senior pup’s needs. She was detailed in her reports and her photos were so cute! She truly went above and beyond expectations and I could tell my Luna had a really great time with her. I highly recommend her services and will most definitely be rebooking again - thank you so much Jasmine! ❤️
We’ve been using Lisa’s cat-sitting services for more than two years now, and we couldn’t recommend her more. She’s dependable, caring, and always takes wonderful care of Peestryl. She also goes above and beyond with thoughtful little surprises that make us feel how much she cares. We’re so grateful to have found her and will continue booking with her whenever we need a sitter!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Jackson Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Jackson Heights is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 27,846 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Jackson Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jackson Heights. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
