“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.”
“Danny was wonderful! He stayed at our place for 3 nights and watched two of my elderly (12-13 yo) little 9 lbs dogs. He was extremely professional and responsible - prompt with replies, followed up politely when I failed to respond in a timely fashion, and left the house in very good order. I highly recommend Danny and would absolutely seek him out again.”
“We’re so happy we found Katherine. Our dog, Jesse, can be a bit challenging with new people and requires patience on his walks, but Katherine handled him with grace and confidence. It was our first time leaving him with a sitter, so I was a little nervous. She kindly agreed to meet us beforehand, which immediately put us at ease. During the stay, she kept us updated with plenty of messages and photos, making it clear that Jesse was in great hands. She also left our home clean and organized. Jesse has a new friend, and I’m a happy dog mama.”
“Alex spent an extended holiday with my pups and we couldn’t be happier! He totally “gets” them, seems to love them as his own, was super respectful of and took great care of our home, and had amazing communication before, during, and after. Always grateful for Alex!!”
“Michael was an excellent house sitter for our very newly adopted pup who has some anxiety with city walks and is still getting used to her new home. He gave tons of feedback on how she did, sent photos and updates, brought treats and even helped buy her a new harness when the one we had didn’t fit right. Would highly recommend Michael and hope to work with him again!”
“Connor is an excellent sitter. He's very thoughtful and attentive to our pets needs (love, attention, walks, sniffs), and our needs (lots of adorable dog pics). He's very respectful and also top notch on the house sitting front as well. We are looking forward to having Connor watch our boys again soon (and I know they feel the same)!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker for my fur babies than Rachel! She is truly amazing in every way. I wasn’t sure how house sitting worked but Rachel gave me the flexibility to choose whatever made me feel most comfortable. She knows the best questions to ask upon the initial meet and goes above and beyond in every way. Rachel’s communication was amazing the entire 12 days I was away and her daily report was one of my fav ways to end my day while I was away. Knowing something funny they did that day or seeing a video of them sleeping peacefully made me feel so much relief. I am beyond grateful for Rachel’s skillet and would strongly recommended her to anyone and everyone with pet sitting needs!”
About: I am an animal lover living in Ridgewood. I grew up with cats my entire life. I also raised a basset hound named Sandor. I am kind and compassionate, willing to do overnights, drop-ins, and walks with your pets. Establishing trust with an animal and allowing them to adjust to your presence is one of the most important parts of the process. I have been caring for neighbors pets for years and walked dogs professionally in Manhattan. I’m available for walks and drop-ins during the weekdays also overnights if you’re going out of town for a week or more. I love pets. I will be able to drop in to give your fur baby some love when you’re at work or will stay overnight when you travel.
“Maddie is wonderful. I can't say enough! Professional, reliable and I didn't worry at all about Sally, our 14-year old bulldog, who fell in love with Maddie right off the bat!”
“Stephanie is great! She came through very last minute after a previous arrangement I made for my cat fell through and made sure she was happy and cared for. Would definitely reach out in the future again when needed and highly recommend!”
“Albert was fantastic, he was extremely reliable and maintained great communication. He sent pictures and updates daily to let us know that things were going well. The animals were very happy when we returned! We were so please that we have already booked again!”
“Took great care of our Nebby and our home during her 10 day stay while we were out of the country! We could tell Nebby was very well cared for. We would definitely have Em watch her again!”
“Meaghan did a phenomenal job with in home sitting over a weekend away! She was very punctual, professional, and did a great job with communication and sending updates. Would be happy to have her watch our dog again!”
“She’s the best! One of my other sitter bailed out during the sitting service and she came to rescue us in such a timely manner. My dogs adore her and she provides above and beyond service. Thank you Arianna! :)”
“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.”
“Iggy was amazing with Darby, as well as being a house guest. Very understanding and communicative, both respectful of my home, as well as my dog--couldn't have asked for a better experience! Will definitely be rebooking and highly recommend!”
“Manny is the best! Zorro loves hanging out with him. And he was really helpful and flexible when our housekeeper stopped by at the same time Manny was over. He also took the most beautiful picture of Zorro that is frame-worthy.”
“Finn had a great time with Kevin over the holidays. Only a couple of photos over the stay, but Kevin gave me the confidence that all was well and made sure to reach out for clarification with any questions. My return flights got messed up and Kevin was gracious enough to extend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maspeth
Lu was SO amazing with Auggie! She was incredible communicative, respectful and sheparding of my boy. I got 2-3 daily updates with all the fun adventures they were going on. At no point was I worried about Auggie with her. Will absolutely be booking again in the future!
Bergan was incredibly communicative the entire weekend and was the perfect sitter for my shutdown foster dog, Harry. She was even able to get him out of his cage and to cuddle on the couch! I would recommend Bergan to anyone looking for a caring and responsive sitter/walker and would absolutely contact her again if she is available.
I am so glad I found Miller on Rover. They are an expert in caring for senior cats and making them feel comfortable. This was the first time I hired a professional cat sitter for my Theo as he has just started to hit those ailments that come with old age. Miller gave Theo his oral and topical meds and spent quality time hanging out with my baby. Miller kept me up to date, shared sweet photos, and made it easy for me to take a deep breath and enjoy my time away. I will be hiring Miller again. Thank you so much Miller!

FAQs for House Sitting - Maspeth
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Maspeth on Rover is $58.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 19,051 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.

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.
