“Wow Schirn is absolutely amazing! I would recommend her to anyone. She took care of our dog the 10 days we were in Ireland and did an amazing job. We even had a maintenance issue in our apartment and she had it fixed and had me updated in no time. She really is incredible. We got great pictures and updates every day. I will be using her every time we are out of town. 10/10”
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!
“Jiamin is great! She asked questions to understand the routines of my cat! She was very gentle when meeting my senior shy cat! Will definately book again for my next business trip!”
“Bliss was great! Our pup Nimbus can sometimes take a bit to warm up to new people, but Bliss gave him his space and they ended up fast friends. She sent photo updates each day and communicated early if she had any questions. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Extremely communicative and thorough. Alex was lovely and Pez immediately took a liking to her which shows how much she cares for pets!! I’ve already scheduled to book Alex again. She is 10/10 an amazing house sitter and caretaker for pets!”
“Kaylee is amazing. Our 1 year old pitbull loved her from the first minute. She is truly a "dog person". Our dog Cannoli had surgery earlier in the week. Kaylee followed all our instructions with medication and sent videos. We could see our baby snuggled up with Kaylee sleeping. I will Absolutely be booking again.”
“Vivienne was wonderful! She follows instructions carefully, is attentive and reliable, very communicative, and genuinely loves on my babies like they are her own. My girls love having her around and she even gets my older girl to play which she’s rarely interested in. I always feel completely comfortable knowing they are in her care!”
“Kenine was amazing taking care of Shyra. We had just lost our husky, Kodi, and were concerned about Shyra being alone. Kenine gave Shyra all the love, kept us updated on her status, and left us a beautiful photo memorial of Kodi when we came home. Above and beyond doesn’t even come close.”
“Rachel has come to my rescue to watch my puppy multiple times over the last few weeks. I cannot thank her enough for the love that she shows my pup and her frequent check ins and pictures. She is prompt in her arrival and with her communication. Thanks Rachel!”
“Karina was incredible! She sent updates and pictures of our Goldendoodle every day and left us at ease! We will be hiring her again in a couple of weeks and we’re very happy about that!”
“Kate did in-home sitting for me and took care of my clingy, jumpy dog, Millie. The whole time I was away I felt completely comfortable knowing Kate was taking care of Millie; she asked questions before I left about how to make sure Millie was comfortable, and ended up doing two separate meet & greets with us before I left. Kate was also incredibly respectful of the apartment and my things. Would highly recommend Kate and will definitely be using her again!”
“Beverly was a godsend for me, full stop. My plans for taking care of my dog fell through at the last minute before the holidays and Beverly swooped right in for the rescue. She gave me updates throughout the week during the busiest time of the year and made sure my dog felt right at home without me there. Beverly went above and beyond what I expected of her and the apartment was left better than she found it. I’d recommend her to anyone and everyone in a heartbeat.”
“Mint was very kind, attentive and patient with my senior doggie. He left my apartment just as he found it and checked in often! I could tell that my pup felt safe and content during the week she spent with Mint.”
“Brenda was an amazing sitter! Super reliable, sweet, was on time, and sent updates throughout the day. My dog is very timid/shy around new people, but she was so patient with him and gave him the space he needed to get comfortable. I highly recommend and also will be reaching out to her the next time I need a sitter!”
“Haley was great with our cat, Ed, while we were out of town for a long weekend. She stayed at our place and sent lots of adorable updates & our apartment was as clean & tidy as when we left. Highly recommend Haley!”
“Our 5 month-old pitbull puppy had so much fun with Austin! He's so patient and provided regular updates, which made us feel so secure with leaving our pup behind. We'll definitely be booking with him regularly, whenever possible!”
“Lauren was the best!! And took such sweet care of our Brunello while we were away! We can’t thank her enough for the update pictures and communication throughout :) Bru can’t wait to see you again soon Lauren, we are so grateful for you!!!”
About: I currently care for my senior dog who we adopted with a healed broken wrist. She is so special and so loved and I would make sure to pour myself into caring and appreciating your pet for exactly who they are! Im currently working part time and have a flexible schedule so am happy to accommodate to be a reliable person to care for your pet. I will be sure to communicate with you on what works best for your pet and keep you updated with pictures and videos. I take their safety very seriously and would be sure to not leave without knowing they are safe and content.

Chae stayed a few days with my boy while I was on a work trip. She did an excellent job communicating, providing me reports of each day along with photos of my dog. Outstanding job, I will for sure keep her in mind for my future trips! Thank you for taking such good care of Felix!
Kameron was absolutely amazing with our 7-month-old kitten! This was our first time leaving her for several days, and Kameron made us feel completely at ease. She was incredibly kind and attentive, played with her, followed her feeding routine carefully, and sent us tons of photos and updates throughout the stay. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable our kitten was with her. Kameron was also extremely responsible and respectful of our home. She arrived on time and stayed with her until we got home. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Kameron with her again. Highly recommend! ❤️
Linda is the best! She stayed overnight with our 6 year old cat Biscuit for 10 days and followed all of our instructions to a T. She sent amazing photos the whole time and you could see Biscuit was really thriving and having a great time. Very responsive, thoughtful, and responsible. Would definitely book her again!
Will is the absolute best!! He accepted a very last minute 12 day (in home) dog sitting request, saving our trip. Upon arriving at our home to meet our dog, he had a list of questions ready for us as to how to care for our dog, home and plants while we were gone. He checked in with photos regularly and took phenomenal care of our boy. Our dog clearly had had the time of his life when we came home. Will left our house in pristine condition and even washed and folded our sheets for us, knowing we wouldn't be home until very late. I can't recommend Will's services enough and personally look forward to working with him in the future.
Vivienne was wonderful! She follows instructions carefully, is attentive and reliable, very communicative, and genuinely loves on my babies like they are her own. My girls love having her around and she even gets my older girl to play which she’s rarely interested in. I always feel completely comfortable knowing they are in her care!
Kristen was so great!! She house sat for us for 10 days and took care of our dog Sally and cat Wally. We could tell throughout our trip they were incredibly well taken care of, with Sally taking many trips to the dog park. Kristen was communicative and sent us pictures daily! When we got home we could tell they had a great week and our apartment was spotless. I know Sally and Wally can’t wait to see Kristen again.
Bliss house sit with our two cats while we were away for the weekend. They were great! Super friendly and communicative and sent updates to us regularly. Our shyer cat even came out of hiding and seemed very comfortable with Bliss. Will definitely book again with Bliss the next time we need care for our boys.

FAQs for House Sitting - Maspeth
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Maspeth on Rover is $57.72 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 19,239 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Maspeth. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Maspeth. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
