“This was our first time using a pet sitting service and were very happy we booked with Schirn. She was punctual, communicative, friendly and our Sadie seemed to warm up to her instantly. We had no worries with leaving our girl in Schirns care.”
“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!”
“Vanessa was great with our dog and guinea pig while my family was away. She was communicative, sent pictures and videos, followed all our instructions and took great care of our house . We will definitely use her again.”
“Alexander was excellent! Last minute he was available to watch Lisbon for us. Extremely efficient when it comes to communication and always on time.”
“Andrea was so great about our dogs routine and etiquette plan which is quite regimented! Photos and videos galore! She was everything we could have asked for and more. She honestly made our trip more enjoyable because we had nothing to worry about.”
“Chase was the BEST dog sitter for my elderly dog. He was kind, responsive and open to the little unusual things my dog needed as an older dog who can’t see well and moves slowly. He sent me updates each day. Bonus: he’s incredibly neat and my apartment was cleaner than when I left it 😊”
“Zoey was absolutely wonderful! She was punctual, reliable, and kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. She followed everything I asked and took such great care of Louie. Most importantly, Louie absolutely loved her! 🐶❤️ I would definitely recommend Zoey and would happily have her watch Louie again!”
“Siaira was a wonderful sitter for our cat. She stayed in our home for the duration of our trip and provided detailed photos of our cat, but also of the litter box cleaning and bowl refills. Her detailed updates helped us feel comfortable knowing that our cat was well taken care of, even during our extended trip away. Would highly reccommend!”
“Dani is awesome! This was my first experience booking a dog sitting experience with Rover and I couldn't be more pleased. Dani and I arranged a meet and greet the weekend prior to us needing to leave our dog, Billie, at home to attend an out-of-town wedding. I knew from our first meeting that Dani would take good care of Billie and our apartment. She sent me updates and photos of Billie twice a day and was very helpful and flexible regarding the timing to arrive and leave our place. She left our apartment nice and clean and even took the extra step to wash the bedding. I'll definitely be booking with Dani again and recommend that you do so as well :)”
“Jiamin is absolutely amazing and will definitely book again! We booked a home stay for a couple of days while we were out of town. She kept us updated with cute photos and videos of our cats, came over early to meet our pets & respected their boundaries, and left our home spotless. One of our cats can be shy, but she was able to quickly engage with her in play. Would definitely recommend Jiamin to any pet parent!”
“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.”
“Meaghan was so great! She left my place clean and my cat Louie happy after house sitting for me. She was very responsive to my messages and gave Louie lots of attention and care.”
“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!”

Brenda was absolutely amazing with Nala! She was so kind and caring, and her communication was brilliant throughout. She sent me lots of photos and updates, which made me feel completely at ease knowing Nala was happy and being so well looked after. She also left my apartment incredibly clean and tidy, which I really appreciated. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking Brenda again. Highly recommend!
Kaia was perfect with our 5.5 month pup who can be a little feisty at times! She was very attentive to the routine and potty schedule that puppies need and overall very respectful, kind, and knows what she’s doing. I would without hesitation trust her again to stay with our Zizou!
Rebecca was amazing with my 8 month old high energy puppy! My pup absolutely loved rebecca and I felt so comfortable leaving her in Rebecca’s care. She followed all of my neurotic instructions and asked a lot of questions. And kept in constant contact throughout her stay. Will absolutely book again!
We've been working with Austin for 5 years but this time was different: our younger dog is just out of a medical emergency and Austin was so vigilant about his medicines, diet, and keeping in touch with us. We couldn't miss this close family wedding out of town and we know we're so lucky to have someone who can step in.

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.

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.
