About: Hi! I'm Jewel, a dedicated animal lover who truly enjoys caring for pets of all kinds. I love both cats and dogs-friendly, playful cats and all dog breeds are welcome! Animals naturally gravitate toward me, and I take pride in making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have hands-on experience with many types of dogs, including reactive, friendly, and senior dogs. I've owned Chihuahuas, a Blue Heeler named Ava, and I currently have my own puppy, Romeo. My experience has helped me understand different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, in-home sitting, and overnight stays. For social dogs, I can also bring my puppy along for companionship-with your approval. Your pet's safety, happiness, and routine are always my top priority. I genuinely love what I do, and I treat every pet like family. You can count on me to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I am currently working full-time from the comfort of my home, giving me maximum flexibility all days of the week and weekends to care for your pets. Sometimes I may just need to bring my computer or iPad along with me to stay on top of work. I have wide open availability and am explicitly available to take bookings for the upcoming 4th of July holiday! Safety is my absolute number one priority! I hold a professional security license, as well as official certifications in pet CPR and First Aid, so you can rest assured that your beloved pets are in highly trained, capable hands. For in-home visits, I love working directly from your environment because it keeps your animals comfortable, stress-free, and in their familiar routine. I always treat your home with the utmost respect, care, and cleanliness while keeping your furry family members perfectly safe and sound

About: I moved to New York for graduate school, which means I have moved away from my dog. I would love the opportunity to provide other dogs care as they will also make my heart warm! I am in class sporadically throughout the week so I have a lot of time to walk and take care of dogs. There are some days where I do not have class at all and would love to get out of the apartment and get some fresh air! I provide my dog with lots of love and attention and am very patient. I will always have my phone on me and am a very reliable communicator if a client needs to contact me with specific instructions or plan changes.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was born, and have even worked in research settings with rats, mice and hamsters. I also have worked with assorted fish, but mostly for caretaking purposes. I am self-reliant at the moment for transportation, but I am in the NYC area often as well as in Buffalo so my services are for both college students that are busy in classes and working people alike! I am able to provide a slew of services, or pet related responsibilities that come with loving your pet, and am more than open to hearing your concerns. As pets are often a part of the family, allergies, medicines, and specialized routines are all very important to me.

About: My family has had dogs for the past 8 years. I also have 3 years of dog-sitting experience with a variety of dogs, including some with special needs. I'm very comfortable adapting to each dog's personality and routine. I'm new to the city and work remotely, so I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home. I'd love to explore the city with your dog, whether that's neighborhood walks, park visits, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, house rules, and favorite activities. I know that pets are often most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I focus on providing plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while respecting their normal routine.

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for 9+ years, caring for my French Bulldog through every stage of her life—from playful puppy to senior years—which taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to adapt to a dog’s changing needs. I now have a Cavapoo and love going through all the puppy milestones again, including basic training, routines, and socialization. I’m especially attentive to each dog’s personality, whether that means keeping up with an energetic pup or providing gentle, patient care for older dogs. I genuinely treat every dog like my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and am not working a traditional job, which allows me to dedicate focused time and attention to pet care. I’m starting with weekend availability so I can provide consistent, reliable care and ensure each pet gets my full attention. As I get established, I’m open to expanding my availability. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and can easily plan my week around their needs When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I always do a quick check to make sure there are no hazards or anything unsafe within reach, and I follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I give pets time to warm up to me at their own pace, using a calm and patient approach to build trust. Once they’re comfortable, I make sure they get plenty of attention, play, and care based on their energy level and personality. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners feel reassured and connected while they’re away

Woodhaven-Richmond Hill, Woodhaven, NY, 11421

About: I am a 27-year-old veterinary professional with over 13 years of hands-on animal care experience. My journey in pet care began at the age of 14 when I started working as a neighborhood dog walker. Over time, my passion for animals evolved into a deeper interest in canine behavior and training, and I began assisting with obedience and behavioral training for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. These early experiences taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and building trust with animals. By the time I was 19, I transitioned into veterinary medicine, where I’ve now worked for over 8 years. My roles have ranged from kennel assistant and veterinary assistant to my current position as a veterinary technician, which I’ve held for the last 3 years. In this role, I provide both routine and advanced medical care, including administering medications (oral, injectable, and topical), monitoring anesthesia during surgery, assisting in diagnostics, performing lab work, and educating pet owners on home care and wellness. I’ve worked extensively with dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets requiring specialized geriatric care. I am particularly skilled in handling animals with anxiety, chronic illnesses, and post-operative needs. My background in clinical veterinary settings has given me the confidence and expertise to respond quickly and calmly in emergency situations. What sets me apart from other sitters is not just my love for animals, but the depth of my medical and behavioral knowledge, my ability to handle special-needs pets, and my commitment to providing safe, compassionate, and individualized care. Whether your pet needs a long walk, medication, or just a gentle, trustworthy presence while you’re away, I bring a level of professionalism and experience that ensures peace of mind My schedule can vary since I’m currently attending college and working, but I make it a priority to be available when needed—especially when bookings are scheduled in advance. I’m highly organized and committed to maintaining a healthy work-life balance, which allows me to carve out dedicated time for pet care. Whether it’s early morning walks, evening check-ins, or full-day care on weekends, I make sure your pets receive the time, attention, and affection they deserve. I understand how important reliability is when it comes to pet care, and I always communicate clearly with clients to ensure their pets’ routines are respected. I provide a safe, structured, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I have a securely fenced backyard that allows for safe outdoor play and three friendly, well-socialized dogs that are used to sharing their space. Pets are supervised at all times, and I make it a point to keep them engaged and comforted, especially when they may be feeling separation anxiety. Cleanliness, comfort, and emotional well-being are top priorities in my home, and I ensure your pet feels like part of the family during their stay.

About: I have been petsitting since I was a kid, for neighbors, friends, and family. I have experience with a range of house hold pets, but mostly with dogs and cats. I grew up with pets and currently have one spoiled cat. I help support my family's 7 cats and 6 dogs when I am able to and asked to. I make sure your fur baby is as cared for as my own, and I offer consistent updates about your pet's care and well-being since I understand the stress of being gone from your loved one! I work on many creative pursuits from home while volunteering my time outside the house. I have a flexible schedule to accommodate complex pet care throughout the day. So I am looking to offer pet care in my free time for my communities! I prioritize Morticia's health and well being every day. She gets 3 measured meals of wet food a day, her litter box gets cleaned out daily, she gets her teeth brushed, her fur brushed, and lots of play time and snuggles. You can rest assured that I would treat any critter with the same love, affection, and attention that I do for Morticia. I have enough experience with dogs and cats to understand their body language, and do my best to avoid upsetting them. I am told I would be great with horses because of my calming presence and words with animals.

About: As a proud dog auntie (not a dog mom!), I’ve spent years caring for the dogs in my family and friend circle—everything from energetic puppies to senior pups who need a gentler pace. I’m comfortable with walks, feedings, playtime, basic routines, and keeping dogs calm and happy while their owners are away. I always focus on patience, safety, and giving each dog the same warm, reliable care I’d want for my own family’s pets. Currently I work part time so my schedule is mornings up until 1 PM, evenings after 5:30 PM, and flexible on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine! Pets have safe access to my fully fenced yard, with entry only through the house. I keep dangerous items out of reach and supervise at all times, ensuring a secure, comfortable space for every pet whether in my home or yours.

About: Growing up, I had the joy of loving and caring for an 80-pound, goofy, American Pitt Bull Terrier, named Meryn. Throughout my high school years, he was my constant companion, playing catch at the East River Park on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. We would jog across the Williamsburg Bridge and run up and down the stairwell in my apartment building to burn off energy (we lived on the 11th floor). He was an incredibly curious boy, who made training fun. He was very motivated by treats and praise. Through repetition and treats he learned all the basic commands. I have petsat many times for family members over the years. Pets included are dogs (large and small breeds) cats, hamsters, and a bearded dragon once. My longest dogsitting experience lasted 3 weeks with my aunt’s pug, Coco Rico, while my aunt was on vacation. During this time, Rico had an ear infection and I had to administer his ear drops. Being a pug, I had to ensure his eyes and face folds were clean. I have catsit for my brother’s diabetic cat, Tuna Fish, on several occasions. I administered insulin injections daily. I learned how to measure the proper dosage and how to safely/comfortably give her the injections. She was diagnosed with diabetes in 2020, so it was not easy learning how to give a cat a shot via a Zoom call with the vet! But learning this and helping my brother with the insulin injections, kept Tuna going for 4 more years after diagnosis. This is by far the most medical care experience I have had with pets. Nowadays, I regularly borrow my Gen Z daughter’s dog, Espresso. He’s a Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix, and my favorite little guy. My grandpup, if you will. With this past winter being a very cold one in NYC, I ensured to dress Espresso in his sweater, coat, and boots for his walks. I do photo shoots with him while on walks, during play time, and naps. I update her with anecdotes throughout the day, such as mentioning any puppy pals we ran into while out and anything funny or adorable he’s done. She even recently said to me, “You take the most wonderful pictures of him.” That truly warmed my heart because I love capturing him in different places and poses. My pet baby now is an American short hair cat with calico patterned fur, named Basil (aka Ms. Lady Boop Boop). She’s a 16 year old, still feisty gal, who has a favorite fishy toy that dangles from a wand. Being a senior, she has developed arthritis in her old age and now makes use of cushioned stairs to get on the couch/bed. She also needs an eye ointment, the application of which has become part of our daily routine. In the past, when she has been ill, I've also given her medicine in liquid form via syringe as well as getting her to swallow a pill. Additionally, I took care of a feral cat that would visit me now and then. My family has a home in Albany, in upstate New York, and I'm happy to board dogs up there for weekends or extended stays should a pet parent allow it. The feral cat that would visit me was in Albany and would appear randomly in our backyard. I fed and watered him whenever he came by. He was deaf and the sweetest guy, who loved rubs and to hang out on our deck. He had an extra digit on each front paw, so I dubbed him Thumbs. One day, when he visited, I noticed immediately that he had fleas on him. I gave him a bath a kiddy tub in my backyard with flea shampoo. I bought the flea comb and collar and got rid of those pesky bugs. I know he was grateful because he'd been scratching so hard, his fur was missing in some places. I am a visual artist and writer, working from home, so my weekdays are flexible. I set my own schedule working on my projects so I can easily accommodate different pet types and time slots for care. I occasionally travel to my family home in Albany, upstate New York, but I always plan that ahead of time and I am happy to board pets up there if the pet parent is open to that option. I live in a 2-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn, NYC. I am located on the 3rd (and top) floor of a walk-up building. I have a senior, female cat, who is very relaxed and sleeps most of the day. There is no outdoor space here, but there are local parks nearby, including a dog run. I also have a house upstate, in Albany, NY. There is plenty of space for running around here, including a backyard. We are currently having a fence put in and I will update this when it is installed.

Raul did an excellent job pet sitting for Gunner. He made sure to follow instructions my husband and I gave him, which gave us a peace of mind. When something wasn’t completely clear, he checked in with me, I really appreciated that level of communication and care. It’s safe to say he’s doing a great job getting to know both us and Gunner, and we feel comfortable trusting him with our dog. Highly recommend!

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 Ozone Park 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.

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 Ozone Park 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!

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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Ozone Park with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ozone Park. 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.

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.
