“Amazing sitter, kept me posted on my two cats and made the process of leaving them much easier. Very attentive, on time, always had photos, and is very good with our two feisty cats, and was able to gain their trust. Highly recommend Lyanyse, and will be booking again!”

About: I’ve been a dog mom for more than 15 years of my life. I have a small senior dog who gets along with everyone. We love having other dogs hang out with us. I’m very active and enjoy taking dogs for all kind of fun walks. I currently work from home 3 days a week and spend lots of weekends at home taking care of my senior dog. I am the go to person with all my friends and family when it comes to pet care. My senior dog spends much of his time in a giant play pen sleeping in our apartment. We still make it out for 3 walks a day. My apartment is very pet friendly.
“This is the second time Laura has taken care of my 2 cats while I was away. She’s great. I really appreciate all the photos she sends and that she takes the time to play with them. She’s really nice and reliable. Highly recommend!”
“Anscia was available for a last minute drop in that was needed and was very helpful in taking care of Gio while I was caught up at an appointment. Thank you, Anscia!!”
“Charlie has been amazing with my dog Oliver. He walks him during the day and is always reliable, attentive, and caring. I can tell Oliver genuinely enjoys his time with him, which gives me peace of mind while I’m busy. It’s not easy trusting someone with your dog, but Charlie makes it effortless. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and kind dog walker.”
“Christy was great with my cats, Poppy and Farfle; after a friend cancelled last minute, she swooped in and saved the day! She was kind, communicative, and went the extra mile to make sure my kitties were safe and comfy over the holidays!”

“Melanie and Veronica are awesome! They helped me feel at ease as a first-time Rover user. They took excellent care of my cat, and got some really cute pictures of him for the daily check-ins! Definitely recommend.”
“Thoselin was great. She made all the visits on time, took pictures of my kitties, and cleaned their litter box everyday. My kitties are normally shy with strangers, but my babies seemed to love her.”
“Catalina was amazing! My cat Louie really enjoyed her company. She was responsive and punctual with her visits. I felt very comfortable with our first meet & greet, her energy and love for animals radiates in the kind care she was able to provide for my old man. 100/10 would book again!”
“Satisfied customer, Each visit Dorothy sent photos of our cat playing or eating. She also cleaned up after our cat, who has accidents. It even seemed that she cleaned the floor near the pan. As an indicator of a friend to our cat, when she arrived to drop off the keys to our place, he went right to her to get a rub! She is an amazing cat sitter.”

“Sunita was absolutely amazing!! She went above and beyond to make sure my kitten was taken care of and updated me with photos and messages every time she visited. She was flexible around my busy schedule and stayed with my shy kitty to make sure he was eating and using his litter properly. I highly recommend using Sunita and would love to have her watch him again for my future trips!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets, especially dogs. I grew up with a family dog that I helped raise and train from puppyhood, so I understand the energy, patience, and love that dogs need. From feeding and walking to playtime and cuddles, I’ve been involved in every part of pet care. I’ve also cared for other pets over the years, so I’m comfortable and confident around animals of all kinds. I’ll treat your pet like family – because that’s how I’ve always seen mine! I work another job, however I have lots of flexibility. My availability is weekdays after 5pm, and I have lots of availability on the weekends. No night walks. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority, whether we’re on a walk or relaxing at home. I’m also careful to respect your home, follow your routines, and keep you updated so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Queens
Betty made my first time using Rover such an amazing experience! I was a pet sitter for 3 years, and I would absolutely trust Betty with caring for your fur babies! She was very communicative and made me feel so much better about leaving my senior cat while I went away!
Emily is just the best. She knows how to approach cats and wins them over within seconds. She played with our two, which they adored, and kept us completely up to date with her visits and how they were going. I’m really looking forward to hiring her again to look after my dog. Good people you can trust with your pets are hard to find - Emily is most definitely one of them, and I highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Queens on Rover is $22.2 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 27,362 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Queens. 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 Queens 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 Queens. On Rover:
- 87% 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.
