About: Hi! I’m Holly and I’ve loved and cared for animals of all kinds (chickens, dogs, reptiles, birds, kitties, and fish)my entire life. I have hands-on experience raising puppies and providing care for senior animals with changing needs. As a teacher, I love spending my free time and summers with animals, making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, or a chill hangout, I'll take care of them like I would my own pets. I’m currently on summer vacation from teaching, so I have ample free time to spend caring for your animals! Available Monday through Friday throughout the work day. I follow all details of care instructions and make sure your animal feels safe, comfortable, and has plenty of love and attention. On walks, I use secure leashes, pay close attention to our surroundings, and make sure your pup gets the exercise they need. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll respect your space, stick to their routine, and send updates with photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
About: Several years ago, when a friend was going through a rough time in her life, I housed and took care of her dog for half a year, and that's when I realized I could do this! Since then, I've regularly taken care of other friends' pets on and off, and I would love to do the same for your pet too! This is my full-time job, which means you and your fur baby will get my full-time attention! Except for Thursdays which I reserve for community volunteer work, my schedule is very flexible, and I will do my best to accommodate you and your pet's needs. I live in a 1-bedroom apartment with no roommates! I also have 2 AC units to keep the space nice and cool during the hot summer months. Every few months, I also house my friend's pet, an American Eskimo dog who is very friendly and absolutely loves meeting other dogs! I live near several dog parks that are within 15 minutes' walk, so your fur babies will always have a chance to meet new friends and neighbors. I love taking care of dogs, whether at my home or at yours!
“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.”
“Faith was a great sitter for our cat Molly. Faith came every morning to feed and play with her. She sent us photos every visit, which we loved! Faith was attentive, communicative and went above and beyond during her visits. We trust her and hope to work with her in future! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Kate took care of our kitty while we were away on our honeymoon. Our cat is 17 years old, so we knew she would be in good hands with Kate, who also has older cats. Kate spent quality time with her every day and sent us detailed updates and photos of her smiling and getting pets. Kate was even flexible when our flight was delayed and offered to come by again the next day if we were delayed overnight. I would happily book with her again.”
About: I have always been surrounded by dogs and cats and I thoroughly enjoy being in their company. I have an immense love for animals and find great joy in spending time with them. I am currently taking online classes, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I am able to dedicate plenty of time to spending quality time with your best friends. I have veterinary experience from working at an animal hospital, which has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. I am detailed oriented and thrive on following directions precisely to ensure the best possible care for your furry friends.
“katherine is one of the most responsive and communicative sitters i've ever had! the 5 star rating is very understandable. followed instructions to a T and left a very detailed report, which was so helpful. your baby will feel like they are taken care of, guaranteed! would love to work with katherine again.”
“Eliza was so helpful with our pets on the thanksgiving holiday after our sitter pulled out last minute. She generously came over on thanksgiving and the day after- highly recommend Eliza!”
“This was my first time using Rover and having someone other than a friend or family watch my 13 year old cat; Arli absolutely took care of my girl just like she was a close friend or family. My cat was in her trust for almost 2 weeks and everyday I got several photos and she was always very quick to respond about anything. I travel for work for long periods at a time and truly felt more at ease with my cat in Arli’s care. I can tell from the photos that she’s a true cat person! When I finally got home my place felt better than I left it and my cat’s space was as well taken care of. My cat also didn’t seem in distress when I finally got home after the long trip- a true sign she was well loved and taken care of. I will absolutely be booking Arli again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She took such wonderful care of my dogs and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she treated them like their own, making sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Communication was great throughout, and I really appreciated the detailed updates. I came home to two very happy pups, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!”
About: Hi, my name is Erik! I have worked for local businesses (As well as Wag so I have a bit of app experience too) walking, training, boarding, and sitting dogs for a little over 7 years now. I love animals, being outside, and meeting new pups. Located in Bushwick, I'm a quick bike ride away from Williamsburg, Bed Stuy, Ridgewood, etc. I have no problem taking the train to further neighborhoods as well. I've lived in New York for a 11 years now so navigating around the city is no issue. I was raised in a animal loving house and couldn't be happier working with the them. I'm a jack of all trades and a big worker. I love the freedom of setting my own schedule and being outside getting my steps in. I get down to their level and let them inspect/smell me. I tend to pass the sniff test. I don't mind taking the time to wait until the pup is comfortable before going on our walk.
“Eleni was WONDERFUL with my 2 cats!!! I will definitely be hiring her again!!! Mochi has diabetes and requires an insulin injection every 12 hours in addition to another medication twice a week and Eleni was happy to learn and able to give Mochi his meds which can be a bit daunting and sometimes difficult depending on his mood. but Eleni was attentive and really took the time to learn and care for him properly! my other cat Kumo is a scaredy baby and rarely shows his face around people but Eleni was patient and really put effort into getting him comfortable with her. Eleni updated me with great details about how they’re doing and food. the weather was changing every day from being very cold and then very hot and Eleni proactively adjusted the thermostat accordingly when needed! she would turn on cat TV every couple days AND put treats in their treat games daily so they would stay occupied during the day. Mochi had an accident and Eleni didn't hesitate to clean it up and take out the trash. she really took care of everything!”
“Lis & Jason took thoughtful care of my two cats, providing timely & detailed updates at each visit on meals, medication and litter breaks with cute pictures. Very trustworthy with fur babies!”
“Haley was awesome and responsive! I gave her a lot of instructions and she didn’t bat an eye. And she was also available super last minute which I appreciate! Will definitely reach out again if the time comes”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Maspeth is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maspeth
Sylvia went above and beyond for us. On day one of our seven-day trip, the electricity went out in our building during a storm, and there was also a report of a gas leak. The fire department had to break into our apartment, and in the process they ruined our lock. She tapped into her inner McGyver skills and was able to secure the door until it could be fixed. She even FaceTimed me to make sure she had everything she needed and that everything was okay with Eddie. On top of all that, she had to walk up four flights of stairs because the elevator wasn’t working. I truly appreciate everything she did for us. You’re amazing!
Kate is the greatest! She clearly loves cats, and seemed to bond with ours immediately. Her daily updates are very thorough and comforting. We were also relieved to find someone with senior cat experience, as she was attentive and knew how to navigate any potential accidents. 10/10 will book again :)
Regina was a great sitter for our little noche! Her visits helped ease our kitty’s anxiety that she usually suffers when we go on vacation, and she seemed calm and relaxed the rest of the week! Will definitely book with Regina again. Experienced, caring, thorough, and kind!
Nina was great! She took great care of both our cats and even got the more timid one to sit next to her, which is a feet unto itself. She came around the same time every day to give them a sense of routine and took excellent pictures! I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a new sitter.
Yuanyuan was absolutely wonderful with Zoie! She was incredibly kind, patient, and made her feel comfortable right away. I loved receiving the videos and updates throughout the visit, it gave me so much peace of mind. Zoie can be particular about people, so seeing her relaxed, playing, and enjoying all the attention meant a lot to me. Yuanyuan was also so accommodating when I reached out on short notice. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pet like their own
Simon has done drop-in visits for us several times, and not only does our cat love him, but he’s gone well above and beyond when we needed his help in a pinch. His check-in's and photos are second to none, too! I’d recommend his services with zero hesitation.
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!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Maspeth on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 27,479 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Maspeth. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Maspeth. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
