About: Rosie’s path to dog training began with a curiosity about animals that started early. As a teenager, she went to vet camp and attended a spay & neuter program which exposed her to animal health and hands-on veterinary care. Those early experiences sparked an interest not just in caring for animals, but in understanding how health, environment, and behavior intersect. That curiosity eventually led her into professional animal care and welfare. She spent several years working hands-on with dogs before joining Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC), where she gained experience with animals across a wide range of temperaments, histories, and behavioral needs. Working in a high-volume shelter environment - particularly with anxious and behaviorally complex dogs.. Over time, behavior and training became the natural focus of her work. Rosie has continued to deepen her knowledge of relationship-based and balanced training, behavior modification, play-based training, socialization and neutrality, and breed-specific care. Training her own service dog has been one of her most formative experiences, giving her an up-close understanding of how relationship, consistency, technique, and clear communication come together to create reliable behavior in the real world. Rosie’s curiosity extends beyond traditional dog training. She is deeply interested in the foundations of whole-animal wellbeing including nutrition, husbandry, enrichment, physical health, genetics, and environment, and how each can influence behavior. Her experiences with both dogs and cats have reinforced her belief that behavior rarely exists in isolation. Today, Rosie brings that perspective to her work with dogs and their people. Rather than focusing solely on commands or correcting unwanted behaviors, she wants to understand the individual animal - their temperament, instincts, history, environment, needs, and relationship with their person - and use that understanding to create training that is thoughtful, practical, and built for everyday life. Rosie is currently engaging in ongoing clinics and applied training focused on canine behavior, training foundations, behavior modification, enrichment, and handler communication. I do pet care full time as I train dogs and cats! I have a full house of animals with two cats, two dogs and a reptile! We enjoy an active life with walks, play and adventure although have a nice balance with rest too:) Safety is my #1 priority. I firmly believe that a trained animal is a happy animal! Every animal that comes into my care has clear expectations so everyone can thrive to the best of their ability. If at daycare, I have the ability to crate and separate dogs and I have a clean, fenced in backyard that has a doggy pool for those warm summer days! For check ins and walks, i'm all about what is most comfortable for the pet. If your cat just needs someone to clean their litter box, thats what I'm there for! Wether its a potty break or full adventure, I'm here for it!
“Schirn cat-sat for us on late notice over the holiday and she was fantastic! She was prompt with her timing and sent great photos when dropping in, we will definitely be reaching out for future cat-sitting needs!”
“Erik was absolutely fantastic. He was incredibly responsive, communicative, kind, and friendly from start to finish. My dog is very shy and usually takes a long time to warm up to new people, but he opened up to Erik almost immediately, which says a lot. Erik also accepted a last-minute booking during an insane heat wave and still showed up in 90-degree weather without hesitation. I truly appreciated his reliability and care. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again”
“Wei is a wonderful cat sitter, I felt incredibly comfortable knowing that his attentiveness and care would comfort the babies when we left for the weekend. He provided a lot of pictures and details about how each cat was doing throughout the day. Highly recommend his service and I’ll be booking him again in the future.”
“Alexander is literally one of the best sitter we had for Lisbon. Lisbon was sick while Alexander was around but he made sure to stay around until Lisbon was well. i will 100% recommend him.”
About: I love pets of all kinds SO much, and I promise to treat yours with the greatest care & love! I am experienced with anxious & pull-y dogs (as I had a rescue of my own). I live alone in my 1BR, for those who would like to board with me. Flexibility in my day-to-day for all sorts of stuff, hit me up for whatever you need! The more time spent with pets, the better :) With lots of love! I am very detail-oriented, so I will be sure to follow ALL directions you provide. Please be specific and thorough !
“I trust Rachel with Marcie any day. Amazing sitter! So attentive and Marcie loves her sooo much and is always amazing and happy after any period of time with Rachel. Thank you sooo much”
About: I really think I have quite a bit of experience with pets. As I was growing up, I had several at the same time and I took care of them all at once and with a lot of love. I had a rabbit, two cats, and a dog. I'm currently available every day, and regarding the schedule, I think we can discuss that between ourselves and decide. I would love to work for you, and I'm eager to meet your lovely pet. I live in a decent apartment, not too big but cozy, and my biggest advantage is that I live across from a park and close to a pet shop.
“Taylor was wonderful with our two kittens while we were on vacation for a week. She was communicative, responsible, and always gave us great updates on how they were doing. We would absolutely book her again!”
“Mila went above and beyond for us. She cared for both our cats and our plants while we were away and cleaned up a mess the cats left on our bed. We didn't have to worry about anything while we were away and arrived home without any unpleasant surprises to clean up when we returned from our trip.”
“Anne is truly the best! She took such incredible care of my cats while I was away on vacation. She kept me updated with thoughtful messages and photos the whole time. Coming home to two happy, relaxed cats made it clear they had been loved and well cared for while I was gone. Will definitely have her watch them again!”
“Peggy is a wonderful pet sitter! Followed instructions to an T and was easy to communicate with when changes happened on my end. I never expect a sitter to clean up messes but it’s so great when they do, Peggy brought our packages in too! My cat is super happy :) Thank you Peggy!”
About: I've been working at a doggy daycare in San Francisco for over five years and I never get tired of working with puppies! I am capable of handling any sizes of dogs and I love it when they bond with me and follow me around. I am also experienced with dog sitting and it brings me joy to see the pups get snuggly at the end of the day. I’m working from home few days a week so I’m pretty flexible with the schedule. Evenings and weekends work for me too if you need a last minute reservation! My experience as a dog handler trained me to be aware of my surroundings and I am really good with communication so I won’t be hesitate to reach out to clients if I ever encounter any issues or have any questions regarding the pups.
“Marcela did a wonderful job walking Beau and following instructions as he's still a puppy and training to walk. There is another puppy she walks in the apartment, but although we offered that she could walk Beau together with that puppy, she stated that she preferred to give each dog individual attention, which we were surpised by and appreciated. She took a lot of photos and videos, and we'd gladly ask Marcela to walk Beau again!”
“Larissa is so sweet and is amazing with our one super friendly cat and one super anxious cat. She’s very communicative and gets great pictures. I can tell she really cares. Thanks!”
“Ana is wonderful! Clearly a very experienced pet sitter, and is also very personable and flexible with her schedule. My cats have a specific eating / litter box situation and I felt that Ana was the perfect person to look after them. She also sent over plenty of pics during each check in so I knew my little rascals were in good hands. Will definitely be in touch with her for future bookings!”
About: I’ve grown up with all types of pets from a young age ranging from birds, bunnies, turtles, cats & dogs. I’ve helped train my dog and cats from when they were a couple of months old with potty-training, outside activities, being around other people, etc. I currently work a remote job Monday-Thursday. It’s a flexible job, and would love to use the free time I have on Fridays/weekends to pet sit and care for fur-babies! I currently am free to pet sit at a clients home and would follow any instructions they may have that involves being careful with opening front doors/fences, crate training, and understanding their pets bathroom needs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Maspeth
Lindsey is the best dog sitter/walker/caretaker ever!! My dog loves them so much and felt so comfortable. Arrived early and was super active with Nelly (playing, walking, willing to do longer drop-ins). Anyone would be lucky to have this kind of personalized care for their pet!
Vanessa was wonderful. She took my last minute appointment to walk Kalu. She was easy to communicate with, friendly and responsible. She sent photos and wrote detailed updates. Kalu loved her cause she brought him to his favorite place….the park where he played with friends. I will absolutely be asking her back as she really bonded with Kalu.
Eva was amazing! Not only did she take our request last minute, she was also the PERFECT caretaker for our sweet Roux. We adopted him 5 months ago and he’s still adjusting to the city - Eva was so attentive and understanding of this, making us feel comfortable and confident that Roux would thrive in her care. She sent us so many videos and pictures of him (the best!!!) and was super communicative.
Lauren is awesome!! She made me feel so confident in trusting her with my fur baby’s care. Boots can be a bit timid with new people and he warmed up to her right away. I can tell he was very happy from the pictures she took. She was able to accept a request on short notice too which was such a huge help. So thankful we found her and even more thankful Boots has a new walking bestie!! 🤍
Ashely is the best! She follows instructions and leaves thorough notes and pictures. My puppy is pretty reactive and Ashley takes careful consideration when watching her. My puppy absolutely loves her and I’m so happy I found someone I’m comfortable with and can leave town knowing my dog is in great hands. 10000/10, would absolutely recommend Ashley every time. ❤️

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.
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 Maspeth 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!
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.

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 .
