About: We have 3 rescues: our cats Charlie & Ro, and our dog Miki. With our family, your pet is coming into a home that has plenty of company. Caring for dogs has already been a regular part of our routines. This includes a mix of walks, daycare, and boarding, plus drop-in visits for cats. Starting Sept. 9, we’ll will be in the office Monday–Thursday, but home after 5pm for evening care, drop-ins, and walks. On Fridays and weekends, we’re generally available all day. We keep our calendar up to date, so feel free to check for the most current availability! We're located in LIC, right between Court Square and Queensboro Plaza, making drop off and pick ups convenient. Drop off and pick up any time between 8am–6pm. We've used sitters for our pets as well, so we know how much trust goes into leaving your pet with someone. You can expect us to care for your pet the same way we'd want our pets cared for.

About: For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for taking care of animals. My 7 years of experience raising my dog and dog-sitting for friends and neighbors, I have gained the necessary discipline and compassion to care for your dog successfully! I started dogsitting when I was a student but now while working in corporate I still like to care for pets when I can. Just let me know ahead of time and I will do my best to accommodate! I will make sure your dog gains my trust and feels safe around me by providing them a quiet home with no other pets. Addtionally, daily play time is incorporated into the day to make sure your dog is able to have fun and let the energy out!
“Yuxuan was friendly, communicative, super responsive, and best of all, flexible for our last minute request! She also offered a meet and greet so she could get to know Beau's needs before taking care of him. Beau loved walking with her. We'd gladly work with Yuxuan again!”
“Nina was absolutely amazing! My first time using Rover in New York and I couldn't of been happier! Nina was so friendly and caring, and my puppy was in great hands! Would definitely recommend Nina to anyone in need of pet care. She sent pictures every time she walked Stanley and always kept me updated, I will definitely be asking Nina for her assistance in the future. Thank you so much Nina!”
“Jenna took good care of our cat and was very communicative and friendly, she sent updates pictures for each visit and followed the instructions provided from us.”
“Jen is great! We are admittedly kind of obsessed with our cats and like the peace of mind of having someone drop in with our cat with health issues. Jen is a great communicator and we definitely recommend her!”
“Isabel was very careful and patient with our cat and took good care of her! She helped us to keep the cat’s living area nice and tidy, and knew very well about how to interact with a cat who was too shy (actually more energetic than you could imagine) to see a sitter at first. Our little girl seemed to be very happy about her first ever sitting experience eventually:)”
“Christie took great care of our boy while we were away for a long weekend. Looking forward to her caring for him again in the future. And hopefully he opens up more!!”
“Katherine was available last minute to drop in on Beau and walk him. She followed instructions to the tee, was responsive, and took lots of pictures. We'd love to work with her again!”
“Tiffany is the best friend a dog or person can have Attentive loving and so thorough hudson and I can’t wait to see you again This is why I refer you to my friends”
“Angelica is phenomenal! She cared for our dog Peanut like one of her own, providing mental stimulation, exercise and most importantly, lots of love. Angelica was extremely communicative from the start, sending thorough and heartwarming updates with every visit. Such a caring and thoughtful dog sitter!”
“Andrew & Jing have been incredibly communicative and thoughtful during the two times they’ve taken care of my cat. They send lots of great photos, comprehensive updates, follow all instructions closely and take time to play with her as well. It was a relief knowing she was in such good care!”
“Lisa took wonderful care of Mitten (my skittish little girl kitty) while I was away. She sent sweet updates and photos that really put me at ease, and it was clear Mitten was happy and well looked after. Lisa has a very kind, calm presence, and Mitten seemed to take to her right away. I came home to a very content kitty 😊 I would absolutely book with Lisa again and highly recommend her!”
“Adam is amazing! He’s so good with cats and follow instructions closely. He went beyond and above to meet all my cat’s needs. I got many photos and constant updates. Thank you Adam!”
“Sandy was SUCH a great caretaker for Theo. She provided detailed updates and ample photos and treated Theo like her own. I could tell he quickly bonded with her & she went over and above to make him (and me) comfortable and happy. Will definitely work with her again!”
About: Since I can remember I’ve always had pets growing up. Dogs, cats, and even cattle. I love animals of all shapes and sizes; I care for their well being and I want to make sure they’re taken care of. I currently have two amazing cats, Stitch and Malfoy, who have traveled the world with my wife and I. Funny how our life revolves around them! Let me help you remain stress free. Your pets will be well taken care of and will be treated like family. Currently a full time student with a very flexible schedule and lots of free time to tend to and love on your little family member(s). I am very detail oriented, compassionate, and loving. I am patient and alert and can tend to any needs your furry companion may have. I have worked with many animals of all shapes and sizes.

AMAZING AGAIN! Booked with Lisa for a long period of travel (9 days), and she did an amazing job taking care of our bunny! She follows all directions, communicates seamlessly, and took many photos of our rabbit. I'd highly recommend her for anyone who needs their pet taken care of for drop-in visits. She always makes us feel at ease that our bunny is well taken care of!! Would definitely recommend her!
Giang has been such a great sitter for our two boy cats. Our cats have some odd feeding needs and although they are good cats it's not exactly a simple visit, and she is very accommodating with all of it. She gives my partner and I peace knowing our cats are in good hands.
Ivangellys is absolutely wonderful! She truly cares for my cat as if she were her own. She kept me updated throughout, went above and beyond by even fixing the cat tree, and was incredibly considerate of both Melly and my apartment. It’s clear that she genuinely loves and cares for the pets she looks after. I 110% recommend booking her for any of your pet care needs!
Catie was fantastic. She looked after Safir and Rea for three weeks while I was away and I never had a single worry. Super reliable, always on time, and she sent updates and photos after every visit. The apartment was left exactly as I found it and the cats were clearly happy and well cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Long Island City on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 12,427 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Long Island City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Long Island City. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
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.
