About: I grew up caring for multiple dogs, and was a professional walker and sitter for years in NYC. I'm here for the easiest little guys and gals and also have the wherewithal and experience to care for dogs that require some more sensitive or attentive care (puppies, senior dogs, babies with health issues requiring medication, etc.). I'm currently working part time and have flexibility to walk/sit your pup! I'm available most weekends and holidays to sit and walk. I follow all house rules and guidelines for sitting and walking your pup. Always happy to chat and visit ahead any sit or walk so we can all get to know each other and make sure we're comfortable!
“Jeffrey was incredibly communicative, answering texts promptly and giving helpful updates. He followed all instructions and was just great with my kitten, giving him his medicine and playing with him.”
“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”
“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!”
About: I’m a dedicated animal lover with hands-on experience working at a dog daycare, caring for my own pets, and rescuing animals in need. I’ve worked with a variety of animals and love getting to know each of their unique personalities. I’m attentive, patient, and playful, and I always take the time to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for. Whether it’s active play, a calm walk, or just keeping them company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. Caring for animals is part of my everyday life, from daily walks and feeding to making time for play and attention. I naturally build my routine around pets’ needs, so they always receive consistent, reliable care. I care for pets in both my home and my clients’ homes by keeping their routines consistent, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. I offer boarding, drop-ins, and walks, and I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets as long as they’re a good match. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and attentive environment, and I always send photo and video updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Throughout the years, I have had the wonderful opportunity to look after the beloved pets of my friends and family. Whether it was for a short overnight stay or during their extended absence, I have always been entrusted with the responsibility of caring for their furry companions. This has allowed me to gain valuable experience in various aspects of dog care, including feeding, grooming, walking, and of course, engaging in fun playtime activities with them. Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I have a dog of my own. I’m used to regular walks, feeding schedules, and giving pets the attention they need, so caring for others fits in naturally. My wife, Rosie and I live in a 2 bedroom apartment. Rosie is accustomed to the company of other furry friends. In case needed, Rosie can spend time with her grandparents while I take care of your beloved pet. Rest assured, I will provide the same level of care and affection as if they were my own.
“Raul did an excellent job pet sitting for Gunner. He made sure to follow instructions my husband and I gave him, which gave us a peace of mind. When something wasn’t completely clear, he checked in with me, I really appreciated that level of communication and care. It’s safe to say he’s doing a great job getting to know both us and Gunner, and we feel comfortable trusting him with our dog. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been training , an owner, and taking care of dogs and cats since I was little. My family and friends have trusted me to feed, walk, and pet sit their animals multiple times. I am available to care for your fur children M-F from 11-10! Anytime during those hours I am able to play with, walk , or feed your pets. I can crate dogs if needed, as well as provide any treats or food. Happy to follow any instructions to give your pups the best care!
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.
“Jenna was an absolute pleasure and went above and beyond in arranging a key hand-off on short notice. I love our cat more than anything, and Jenna made me feel safe that he was in good hands with daily updates and photos. 10/10 would recommend and will certainly ask her to sit again.”
“Our one and only dogsitter ❤️ Louis and Charlie love having her around (pretty sure they like her more than us), and her unmatched knowledge and experience gives me peace of mind.”
“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.”
“Larissa did an amazing job taking care of my cat! He was happy and healthy when I got home from my trip. Larissa sent such great pictures, too. It put my mind at ease to know my cat was in good hands. Thank you Larissa!”
“Fanny had taken care of our two cats in the past, and they loved her. This time, when we had a longer trip, we didn’t hesitate to reach out to her again, and she did so well by them! She is very attentive and caring with cats, and really understands their demeanor. She would send us 15-20 pictures of them each day, alongside a cute report of her visit. Though we were away, we felt like our cats were really taken care of and happy with Fanny! She does go above and beyond, I could not recommend her services more!”
“Andrea comes across as kind and professional. She immediately put me at ease about leaving my cat (Tia) in her care. I received regular updates and communication throughout the trip with pictures assuring me that all was good. Upon returning, it appeared that all instructions were followed perfectly and Tia was happy and well taken care of. It's clear that Andrea is committed to taking good care of pets as well as respecting the space that their owners live in. Judging by the pictures, Tia also seemed quick to warm up to her which is rare given that she can be very skittish :) I'll absolutely be booking her again in the future.”
“I'm grateful that Peggy was available to come take care of my cat on short notice. She did a great job looking after him and was flexible and responsive. 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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Maspeth
Carla was kind enough to meet me the day before her drop in so I could introduce her to the pups and my place. She is very kind, experienced, and you can tell she has a true affinity for animals. She came in and spent time with my besties while I was out for the day. Can’t wait to invite her back!
Vanessa was a sweetheart! This was my first time using this and she made me feel very comfortable and easy about this decision. She even came to introduce herself to me and Otis prior to the visit so I really appreciated that. And Otis loves her! That’s my favorite part! I’ll definitely be booking again.
Katherine did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was away. She kept me updated every day with messages and pictures, made sure he got all of his medications, and always let me know how he was doing. It gave me great peace of mind, and when I got home, my dog was happy and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!
Sungmin did a drop-in visit for my puppy and she was amazing! She sent me videos and photos afterwards and provided a short summary of what tricks they worked on. It’s clear that my puppy loved playing with her. She was also very respectful of my home and I’m glad I found someone I can trust! Already booked her again for this week!
Christian is a great sitter. Gunner can be nervous/skiddish around new people, but with Christian’s patience and calm demeanor, Gunner was at ease in no time! There were no issues and he followed instructions I gave him. I would definitely book Christian again and recommend him to others.
Booked this as a meet-and-greet with Eric and Sydney before a few walks we needed later that week. They were able to come over on fairly short notice, and communication was excellent from start to finish. When they arrived, they asked all the right questions and were incredibly warm and friendly. It was immediately clear they're genuine dog lovers with plenty of experience. They instantly gave me complete confidence that we'd found the right Rover sitters. Highly recommend!
We cannot say enough good things about Emily! She took such amazing care of Whiskey during her drop-in visits. Her communication was top-notch and super responsive from start to finish. She made the entire process completely stress-free. Whiskey was so well cared for, and we are already hoping to book her again next time!
She was wonderful with my two pups! She was attentive, caring, and took great care of them with very little instruction. She was intuitive, flexible, and quickly picked up on their needs. It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. I would absolutely trust her to care for them again.
I want to thank Sharon for helping me during the most difficult time in my life by taking care of my dog Riley on his last days in this world. Riley has succumbed from complications of Stage V IVDD (congenital). He’s only two. Sharon helped me navigate his hospice care. Sharon also took care of Riley when he was a puppy. Sharon is a reliable, compassionate and caring person. Thank you Sharon.
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
May has been a repeat for us because of her kindness with Courage. She knew how anxious he was and came BEFORE the booking to ensure he was warmed up to her. We didn’t ask for that and she went above and beyond. On top, she’s always consistent with her communication and shows such care for our Courage. Will always use May!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Maspeth stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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 .

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.

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.

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.
