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.
“Kate is really wonderful! She's so communicative, puts your mind at ease every step of the way, and really puts your pets first. Would choose her again in an instant :)”
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!
“Jenn took excellent care of our two kittens. We left them for the first time and appreciated the over the top communication and Jenn’s support in cleaning up their mischief so much! We highly recommend reaching out to Jenn on behalf of your pet.”
“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.”
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.
“My 15 year old diabetic cat recently entered DKA and underwent very intense and very costly treatment that required serious recovery and supervision. I took off a few weeks of work but due to the added costs I needed to return back to work in order to continue caring for her and treatments. I was of course naturally worried leaving her after having survived such a serious illness and Katie stepped in a really helped put all that anxiety and worry at ease for me. I truly feel like she made all my worries go away upon returning to works All her visits were well documented (she sent me lots of pictures and videos of play time sessions, medicines given, the food and water put out, and she always stayed for longer than booked for and I never came home to a mess. It was evident to me that she was treating my babies like they were her own. From phone calls to texts to in App updates Katie is truly a delight to work with and I can’t recommend her services enough to anyone looking for their pets to receive the same level of love and care that mine got from Katie. I work long hours in film and my old lady will need continued care so definitely plan to keep booking her as much as possible. For those who view their pets as children; Katie’s the one for you.”
“Xiaoying did a great job looking after my cats, bringing her own toys, taking tons of pictures, spending extra time with them (even without me asking her to). I felt very connected seeing all the pictures of my cats while on vacation and seeing them getting lots of love and attention. Thanks, Xiaoying!”
“Eliza was absolutely fantastic!! She took care of our two cats while we were away. My one cat has to take medication morning and night so I was so nervous to leave him and she reassured me and sent me photos and videos of the boys. 10/10 will be using her again! Thank you Eliza!”
“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!”
“Elisabeth and her husband were great! They came around my cat's normal feeding time, which kept her schedule pretty much unchanged, which was amazing. I definitely would recommend them!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of Grilled Cheese this weekend. I know he wasn't easy because of the medications you had to give him after his dental surgery, but I appreciate you looking after him and keeping him healthy!”
“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”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maspeth
The absolute best. I feel like I’m leaving my cats with a trusted friend or family when she’s taking care of them. So thoughtful and so sweet to the cats. One of my cats is a very sensitive shy little guy which you would never know when he’s around Bridget. I appreciate you so much!
Absolutely fantastic experience! My cat is usually very shy and hides from new people, but Simon completely won her over. I returned to a happy, relaxed cat who was clearly well cared for. On top of that, Simon was incredibly responsive, easygoing, and even kept all of my house plants alive and thriving (a first for me!). I will absolutely be booking again and highly recommend him!
Highly recommend Julia!! She took great care of my cat for 2 weeks while I was out of the country. She took lots of pics, was communicative, and was super generous with her time. She also has a cat and worked at a shelter, so she knows what’s up. Great vibe overall - very friendly and professional. I would 100% rebook.
Lindsey was wonderful, always responded right away and took excellent care of our kitty. She administered medication with no issues and made sure to give her lots of snuggles and play time with each visit, we’ll be excited to have her catsit for us again!
Carla was kind enough to meet me the day before her drop in so I could introduce her to the pups and my place. She is very kind, experienced, and you can tell she has a true affinity for animals. She came in and spent time with my besties while I was out for the day. Can’t wait to invite her back!
Excellent time with Eliza. The daily drop in visits, updates and pics of our Iggy were appreciated. It kept our minds at ease, while we were away. Her flexibility and experience was great for our little boys last minute needs. Definitely recommend & so happy we found Eliza.
Vanessa was a sweetheart! This was my first time using this and she made me feel very comfortable and easy about this decision. She even came to introduce herself to me and Otis prior to the visit so I really appreciated that. And Otis loves her! That’s my favorite part! I’ll definitely be booking again.
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 :)

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.
