“We are so lucky to have found Kate! With my shy, senior cats, she was patient, attentive, and warm. And very communicative - tons of photos and updates - while I was away on a work trip; helped put me at ease knowing they were being cared for and she was paying attention to all the little details that matter so much in a senior cat home. We hope Kate will continue to visit with us!”
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!
“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.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and can genuinely say Arli made it a great experience. She’s super communicative, kind, respectful and now my cat’s new bff! Arli showed up promptly for all visits, gave my cat lots of attention and would send me pictures everyday while I was away. Could not have asked for a better experience. HIGHLY recommend :)”
“Alex is seriously the best in this area. His communication is top notch, he’s great with my reactive girl dog, and his updated and photos always bring me at ease. You’ll love working with Alex!!”
“Omg Holly was amazing!! She did a few drop in visits with Bambi and they were great! She played with Bambi, fed her, and gave her a lot of cuddles. Definitely would recommend Holly!”
“Jenna always takes great care of my kitties :) I’ve never seen them so chill after I’m away! I always look forward to my updates from her visits, she takes the cutest cat pics. I highly recommend her :)”
“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!”
“Marcela did a wonderful job walking Beau and following instructions as he's still a puppy and training to walk. There is another puppy she walks in the apartment, but although we offered that she could walk Beau together with that puppy, she stated that she preferred to give each dog individual attention, which we were surpised by and appreciated. She took a lot of photos and videos, and we'd gladly ask Marcela to walk Beau again!”
“Xiaoying was so great! She took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. My cat needs medication every other day and regular facial cleaning, and she handled everything perfectly. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about my cat’s well-being. I was especially impressed by how clean and organized everything was when I returned. She went above and beyond, and I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. I would gladly book with her again and highly recommend her to others.”
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.
“Elisabeth was great! Communicated when needed and made sure my cat had everything she needed while I was gone. Felt totally safe leaving her in Elisabeth's hands, would definitely recommend!”
“I'm grateful that Peggy was available to come take care of my cat on short notice. She did a great job looking after him and was flexible and responsive. Thank you so much!!”
“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”

Chloe is such an incredible, responsive, and caring pet sitter! She took amazing care of my cat while my partner and I were away for two weeks and sent detailed updates and photos, and always asked questions if anything came up. Chloe went above and beyond to make our cat feel happy and comforted while we were away, as our cat tends to get stressed when we're on vacation. Additionally, she vacuumed up cat litter and cleaned up any mess my cat made. Chloe even helped pick up our balcony plants that got knocked over a couple of times during a few storms. We really appreciated that she took such great care of our cat and made us feel comforted while we were traveling, knowing that our cat was in such great hands. Thank you SO much, Chloe; we'll definitely be using your cat-sitting services again the next time we go away. I would 100% recommend Chloe to anyone looking for a thoughtful, helpful, responsive, and caring pet sitter.
Kiana was fantastic with my dogs! She was super flexible on short notice, set up a meet and greet right away, and asked all the right questions. One of my pups is a senior who requires several medications twice a day, and she handled his care seamlessly. She is trustworthy, kind, and took wonderful care of my dogs. Her communication was great throughout the entire stay. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again!
Gabrielle was such an amazing pet sitter for my cats! She was punctual, played with my cats, sent pictures, and made sure my babies were both well fed and well cared for. I was at ease knowing she was there to check on them and I can tell she's a true animal lover. I will absolutely be booking with Gabrielle again and recommending her to all of my friends!!💕💕🙏🏽
Sean was awesome! Truly cared about my dogs, sent plenty of pictures and updates and was also booked for a full weekend on late notice. My dogs can be stubborn on walks and he was patient and worked with each of their quirks even taking one of them out for a second walk since he prefers a bit longer outside. Can’t say enough good about Sean, thank you again!!
Kiana did a great job caring for my cat while I was away for a week. She leaves very thorough descriptions of the visits and sends a ton of pictures and sometimes videos. She is receptive to feedback and is very communicative. She also had a good understanding of what my cat needed each visit ie more affection vs playing.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Maspeth on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 27,669 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.
