“Schirn stayed at my home to watch my cat Pip while I was away. This is the second time Schirn has stayed with Pip. I highly recommend Schirn, she is great on communication with messages and photos of Pip who clearly was very comfortable being cared for by her.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From start to finish, the communication was great. Mint took the time to send updates, photos, and little notes that showed how much he genuinely cared. It gave us such peace of mind while we were away knowing our pup was being so well looked after. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring sitter!”
“Alexander took wonderful care of my little girl in my apartment for a couple of days. He kept me updated frequently and clearly cared for Leyla. I highly recommend him!”
“Abdelkader was excellent! He was communicative and followed all the directives that I left for him. To be honest, I don’t plan on using anyone else for my cat sitting services if I can avoid it. He’s just that good! I look forward to booking his services again!”
“Kyntel was wonderful with Louie! He was right on time, very kind and caring, and kept me updated throughout the day with pictures. I really appreciated how attentive and communicative he was. I would definitely recommend Kyntel and would feel completely comfortable having him watch Louie again! 🐶❤️”
“Erik was great and responsive, given the short notice on my end. He was punctual and provided updates with my Evie. Would absolutely recommend and book again. Thanks!”
“Kennedy was a fantastic sitter for our pup! She was very responsive, sent lots of pictures, and gave us daily updates. Our pup looked like she had a fun time and was very well taken care of! She also took great care of our place while we were away. We will definitely use Kennedy’s services again in the future!”
“I cannot recommend Ivana enough. My partner and I were nervous to leave our 8 m/o puppy for the first time and Ivana immediately put us at ease. Our pup is a little high-maintenance and required daily medication and extra patience on walks. Ivana knew right away how to administer the medication (even better than we did!) and was excellent with Junie on walks. We were in frequent communication throughout the two days and she sent tons of pics and videos per my request! We completely trust Ivana with the care of our Junie and would recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter. Junie already cant wait for her to come back!”
“Absolutely recommend Natalie! Natalie sent regular updates by pictures, she answered any questions I had about how my pup was doing, and was flexible (I wasn’t sure if my plane would be delayed and she was willing to adjust/help me out further). Thank you Natalie, Chuckie will be excited to see you again in a couple of weeks!”
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been something I'm passionate about. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages for family, friends, and through my professional experience. Whether it's going for walks, providing enrichment and playtime, feeding, or simply giving them love and attention, I enjoy making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and comfortable. I previously worked at a dog daycare, where I supervised and cared for large groups of dogs, learning how to understand different personalities and make sure every pup had a fun and safe experience. I now work at a veterinary emergency hospital, where I help care for and stabilize pets while supporting and communicating with their owners. This experience has taught me how to recognize changes in a pet's behavior, stay calm under pressure, and provide compassionate, dependable care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care that I would give my own, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Im currently working full time, 3-4 days of the week. I’m an available to play and care for your pup(s) during my free time as needed! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. With my experience working in a veterinary emergency hospital, I'm trained to recognize signs of illness, injury, or stress and know how to respond quickly if a problem arises. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I'll follow your pet's routine, respect any special instructions, and keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in safe, loving hands.
“Kenine did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs in our home, one being a dramatic, senior husky who occasionally needs extra care. She communicated well and regularly about walks, bathroom times, and was able to give medication as needed. We were able to adjust our husky’s food based on Kenine’s communication and ordered more to be delivered. She also left the apartment in great condition and we are very happy with the experience overall.”
“Leila has been such an amazing pet sitter to my mini dachshund Frankie. She takes amazing care of her and has been flexible when my schedule has changed which I appreciate so much. Leila is someone I fully trust. She’s the best.”
About: Hi! I’m a dog mom working from home every day, so I'm almost always available and have a super flexible schedule. I love taking dogs for long walks, and have a great fenced in private front and back patio for your dog to run around. I have a ~35 lb golden doodle who is super friendly, so please only reach out if your baby is good with other dogs! :) I’ve been pet sitting for as long as I can remember - it was even my full time job while I was in college. I have experience working with all ages, sizes and breeds so you can rest assured that your dog is getting the best care possible!
“Aleksandra was wonderful! Came back to a happy pup and my apartment just as I left it after a long weekend away. Really appreciated Aleksandra stopping by for a meet and greet before the stay. Highly recommend!”
“Nellie was not only amazing with our pup, but she was also so personable with us! From the start, she communicated really well, asked thoughtful questions about our pup’s needs, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving her in Nellie’s care. It looks like our girl may have found another bestie! 🥰🐶 Thank you so much, Nellie! We truly appreciate you and will absolutely be reaching out again! ❤️”
“So grateful to Siaira for watching our Alfred while we were out of town! It gave us such peace of mind to know our cat and our home were in good hands. Siaira was super friendly, trustworthy, and communicative - all of which we very much appreciated! I would highly recommend her petsitting services!”
“Asher was great! He was a good fit for our dog Chrome and made sure to give him all the cuddles and love. We were out of town for a couple nights and Asher was respectful of our home and Chrome’s needs.”

Alexander is the best!!! I was able to fully relax because I knew my dog Leo and my house were in great care. Leo is a reactive, senior dog with a chronic condition that requires meds. Alexander was extremely accommodating to all of that so I felt very at ease on my travels. I could also tell that Leo really enjoyed his time with Alexander so I’m thrilled to book with him again next time I go on vacation. Thank you so much Alexander!!!
Lily Beth was a wonderful dog sitter\! 🐾❤️ I’ve used her services numerous times, and every experience has been great\. She’s reliable, caring, and someone I trust to take good care of my fur baby\. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and dependable dog sitter 💛💙♥️
We booked Megan for a 17 day housesitting for both our dog & cat. She was able to do a meet and greet beforehand and was super kind & responsive. She sent multiple photos throughout the sitting and always gave great updates. We came home to a clean apartment and animals in great care. I would highly recommend Megan for any type of sitting for all pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Maspeth is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $100 per night. 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Maspeth walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Maspeth maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

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.
