“Chase was awesome! He was so great with our dog and cat - they loved him. He stopped by our apartment a few times to feed, walk and play with them while we’re were away for a long day. Was always responsive and sent thorough check-ins, would highly recommend and book in the future!”
“Kate was wonderful with my sometimes spicy, special needs senior cat! Kate gave detailed updates and shared awesome pictures of my girl. Would recommend Kate to anyone, especially others with special needs kitties!”
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.
About: I’ve always loved caring for dogs and know how important consistent exercise, attention, and companionship are to them. I regularly walked and cared for my own pit bull, making sure he got plenty of exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation while staying safe on every walk.I’m patient and dependable, and I understand that every dog has a different personality and energy level. Whether your dog needs a long hike-style walk, a relaxed neighborhood stroll, or extra playtime at home, I’ll adapt to what they need. My goal is to make every outing (or visit) safe, positive, and enjoyable while treating your dog with the same care and respect I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. I'm available for both part-time and full-time pet sitting and dog walking, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends when needed. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to stick to their usual routines, whether that's regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply providing companionship. My goal is to give every pet the attention, care, and exercise they need while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your instructions closely to keep their routine as consistent as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care they may need. During walks, I'll always keep dogs securely leashed, stay aware of our surroundings, and choose safe routes. In your home, I'll treat your space with the same respect I would my own, keeping it clean and making sure your pet has plenty of attention, companionship, and care while you're away. I'll also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.
“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!”
“Everything I had requested (wet food prep, litterbox cleanup, and pets) was done and documented very well! No complaints, Mayleth was quick to respond and on time for scheduled visits. Will definitely rebook and recommend to other pet parents who are looking for a warm and reliable sitter. Thank you, Mayleth!”
“I trust Rachel with Marcie any day. Amazing sitter! So attentive and Marcie loves her sooo much and is always amazing and happy after any period of time with Rachel. Thank you sooo much”
“Peggy is a wonderful pet sitter! Followed instructions to an T and was easy to communicate with when changes happened on my end. I never expect a sitter to clean up messes but it’s so great when they do, Peggy brought our packages in too! My cat is super happy :) Thank you Peggy!”
About: I love pets of all kinds SO much, and I promise to treat yours with the greatest care & love! I am experienced with anxious & pull-y dogs (as I had a rescue of my own). I live alone in my 1BR, for those who would like to board with me. Flexibility in my day-to-day for all sorts of stuff, hit me up for whatever you need! The more time spent with pets, the better :) With lots of love! I am very detail-oriented, so I will be sure to follow ALL directions you provide. Please be specific and thorough !
“Cailey is very thoughtful and an excellent pet sitter! She gave us regular updates with photos and was affectionate and attentive to our kitties. We came home to a clean house and happy cats. I highly recommend her and have already booked her for our next trip :)”
“Fanny was absolutely incredible! Her communication was exceptional—she took the time to write detailed Rover cards after every visit and sent plenty of pictures of our kitty, Roo. We genuinely looked forward to her updates each day, which made us feel secure and completely at ease knowing Roo was in great hands. Fanny's care and attention to detail truly went above and beyond. I would recommend her 1000% to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you so much, Fanny!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a teen, sometimes multiple at once! I don’t mind a bit of chaos or exercising more patience for furry friends. In addition to dog sitting and dog walking, I also volunteered at a dog shelter in Newport, NH for several months, walking, feeding, and cleaning up after dogs looking for their forever homes. Additionally, if you have plants that need care, I have professional experience with at-home plant care and can tend to most house plants free of charge! I currently work full time, but eager to fill my weekends by taking care of your best friend. I work from home Monday- Friday, so available to stay with dogs/pets full time during those days. I would be happy to abide by whatever rules or practices you have fo your pet in your home. I understand everyone cares for their pets differently and I am eager to follow whatever protocols you have to make sure your pet feels safe and the comfort of routine as much as possible while you’re away.
“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.”
“Mia & Maria were very sweet and loving. My dog has separation anxiety but he seemed to get comfortable with them very quickly. My pup also loved the backyard. Mia & Maria were experienced with caring for older dogs as well. I was extremely satisfied and will be booking again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maspeth
Xiaoying was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly responsible, attentive, and thoughtful throughout the entire drop-in visit. She uploaded lots of adorable photos of my cat, along with very detailed updates about how everything was going. It really helped me feel reassured knowing my cat was being well taken care of while I was away. Communication with Xiaoying was also excellent. She was always responsive, easy to communicate with. I could really tell that she genuinely cared about my cat and took her responsibilities seriously. I’m so grateful for her care and attention, and I would absolutely book with her again! Highly recommend Xiaoying to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
This was my second time booking Ai to look after our senior cat, and I’m so glad to have found her. She’s thoughtful, kind, and attentive to all the care instructions. I really appreciate the care she puts into looking after Miu Miu, who seems content when I get back home. I’d be very happy to book her again and would absolutely recommend her!
Laura is a wonderful cat sitter. She clearly cares a lot for our cats and is thoughtful in how she cares for them (and even our space) while we’re out. She’s punctual, clean, and follows our instructions perfectly without missing anything. She pints out issues or anything we need to know about and provides thorough updates on their happiness and wellbeing (including cute jokes and photos). We’ll take any opportunity to book with her in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Maspeth is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $42 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 27,779 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Maspeth. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
