“Asher was great with Max and very thorough. I was able to answer any additional questions he needed about his medicine and I just really appreciate the care that he gave to my senior doggy. I worry about Max when I’m not able to be there and it was really important to me that he was cared for while I was out of town thank you again and I would absolutely book Asher again to take care of little Maxy.”
“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”
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.
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.
“Jiamin took such good care of my cats! She sent me regular updates and it seems like they were having the time of their lives. Definitely will be asking her to watch them in the future!”
About: My parents have a lot dogs and cats so I grow up with them. I start have my first dog at 15 years old and my first cat at 21 years old. I work full-time during the day, but I'm available for pet care before and after work. In the mornings, I can visit to feed your pets, refresh their water, clean litter boxes, and take dogs for a walk while the weather is cooler. I return after work, around 6:00 PM, for a second visit to feed your pets, clean the litter box if needed, and take dogs on another walk. Evening visits also provide a great opportunity for exercise, playtime, and companionship before the end of the day. I'll always do my best to follow your pet's regular schedule and provide consistent, reliable care while you're away. Hi! My name is Wei, and I've always loved spending time with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting. During each visit, I can provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, companionship, and lots of love and attention. I'm also happy to follow your pet's normal routine and any special instructions, including administering basic medications if needed. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages and temperaments. Your pet's safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention during walks and mealtimes, especially for pets that tend to eat too quickly. If necessary, I'll split meals into smaller portions with a short break to help prevent choking or stomach discomfort. I also believe emotional well-being is important, so I always greet and leave pets calmly to help them feel secure and reduce separation anxiety. I work full-time, but I carefully schedule my bookings so every pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I communicate regularly with pet parents by sending updates and photos, so you'll always know how your furry family member is doing. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Jenna was great with our cat for several days while we were out of town, always sent photos and stayed the full half hour we booked for each visit. When we go home, she had left everything clean and as it was. Definitely recommend!”
“Has taken such great care of our kitty! MaryEllen even added on a few extra days of visits when we started to suffer from long distance pet guilt! She’s easy to work with and communicates so well about how our cat is doing.”
“Omolayo was great! This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous but I felt very safe with her in my home and with my fur baby. She sent pictures every day of giving him treats and playtime. Will definitely contact her again for future visits!”
“Could not have asked for a better experience with Mila! I ended up having to extend my trip and she was flexible and willing to keep taking care of my cat until I got back. Absolute lifesaver :)”
“Rebecca was great with Tali! Asked good questions to make sure she was comfortable and knew what to do, showed up on time and kept us updated. Would definitely book Rebecca again!”
“Great as always! Munder has become my go-to person for checking in on my cat while I’m away. Munder is very reliable and responsive, and my cat is always happy when I get home.”
About: I'm an animal welfare professional actively building toward a career in animal behavior and training, grounded in real-world shelter experience and a deep commitment to whole-animal care. My shelter background has given me hands-on experience with high-volume intake, humane handling of anxious and behaviorally complex animals, and close collaboration with medical, admissions, and volunteer teams. I work calmly under pressure and communicate clearly across all parts of an organization. Over the past year I've been going deeper into the areas I care most about: balanced training, behavior modification, play-based training, and socialization and neutralization work. I'm also drawn to the less-talked-about foundations of animal health, including nutrition, husbandry, and how they shape behavior. Training a personal service dog has been one of my most formative experiences, giving me an up-close look at how relationship, consistency, and technique intersect. Cats are just as central to my work as dogs, and honestly my own life. My first adopted cat came to me severely behaviorally challenged, and watching our relationship transform through the right nutrition, training, and species-appropriate enrichment has been one of the most rewarding experiences I've had with any animal. It deepened my belief that understanding the feline mind is just as important as understanding canine behavior, and I'm passionate about helping people see cats differently. Not as low-maintenance or mysterious, but as complex, communicative animals who thrive when their needs are truly met. Something I feel strongly about is helping the broader community understand what shelter life is really like — how it affects animal behavior, the many reasons dogs and cats end up there and are returned, and what that means for families considering adoption. There's so much misunderstood about shelter animals, and I think better public education leads to better outcomes for everyone. 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!
“Peggy has cat-sat for me several times before, but this time was a bit more complex now that I have two cats instead of just one. She did a great job caring for them both and was very communicative. Thank you so much!! :)”
“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!”

Stole my boys heart and I’m not even mad. I’m writing this because everyone should be able to experience the genuine care and support that Ariane provides but please don’t let your dog fall head over paws the way mine has because I’m not sure he could take the heartbreak if she got too busy. I don’t even know where to begin. She’s SO patient with my year and a half shelter baby. I got him about a month ago and he’s been in a shelter since around 2 months. She stepped in last minute one day and braved his not so savory habits with ease. She’s watched (and helped) him grow with me, while only meeting me one time. She’s helped him make friends at the park and gives me constant updates. She rolls with the punches and completely lets you know by action that she’s on your team and there to help. I continue to count my blessings everytime she sends a message or picture update. She’s so chill and flexible/accommodating whenever possible. Super communicative as well! I could not recommend her enough, truly. She’s a total gem and every animal deserves to have an auntie Ariane in their life!
Sean once again came in very clutch with a last second booking over a holiday weekend! The level of care and communication he has when watching our dogs is greatly appreciated. Feels very good knowing I have a reliable dog sitter in the neighborhood who cares this much about my dogs. I’d recommend Sean to anyone in the greenpoint area (and beyond if Sean is willing to commute 😅)
Eunice was amazing! Took great care of both Truffle and Fatfat. She was caring, reliable, and communicative throughout the entire time. Left everything organized and clean! She kept us updated regularly and we could tell our pets were in great hands. We’d absolutely trust her with them again and highly recommend her!
Regina was great with Ruthie. Ruthie can be stubborn at first and Regina got quickly into her good graces. She kept me up to date throughout my vacation and took initiative when difficulties arose. Happy to know Ruthie has another friend to look over her in the neighborhood!
Isis was extremely attentive to any special request and instructions that I had for my dog. She was on time and was a great communicator with great follow-through. A very sweet and kind disposition to her. I would absolutely recommend Isis to anyone looking for a kind and friendly care taker for their pet!
Vanessa was so fantastic and took such great care of our puppy. She dropped by, took Emma for a walk, and was extremely communicative for the duration of the service. I wasn’t home and she was great at following the directions to get into my home. Highly recommend Vanessa for all of you pet needs!
Chase was awesome! He was so great with our dog and cat - they loved him. He stopped by our apartment a few times to feed, walk and play with them while we’re were away for a long day. Was always responsive and sent thorough check-ins, would highly recommend and book in the future!
Jessica watched our bulldog, Max, twice this summer and was amazing! She took such great care of him and always communicated with us. We looked forward to her pictures and felt such a relief knowing he was with Jessica. We look forward to booking again with her next time we go away.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Maspeth with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
