“I really appreciate how Stephanie took her time during the meet and greet to make sure that Piper and I felt comfortable. She is warm, friendly, extremely reliable, and very observant/attentive to what Piper needs. Stephanie also provides detailed updates (and takes great pictures)! She’s been an incredibly welcome and helpful addition to our daily routine. Thank you so much for brightening Piper’s day and taking such great care of her!”

“Karlos was awesome with our 5 kitties and dropped by before we left for vacay so that we could show him the rundown of where everything was. He was flexible and accommodating of our feeding and litter box times and asked questions whenever he was unsure. He provided us with details and photos of my furbabies during each visit. One of my girls has IBS and he would send us pictures of her food dish to make sure she was getting her RX food. Another one of my girls tends to sometimes pee outside of the litter box and Karlos would inform us if she did and mop up the urine. And to top it all off, he was patient and caring towards my kitties (which means a great deal in a world where an animals life isn't considered as precious as a humans).”

About: Ive had my own dog since i was little so i know to have patience and attentive. It was helpful the 2 years experience of pet sitting and walking dogs for other clients. I've clean litters, feed pets, stayed a little longer to play with them. I dont mind doing a wash and dry. I like to go out so it'll be mini trips in my car i can get a dog seat if they're small pets. i also make homemade meals optional completely healthy. I currently work a few days in amazon so i spend most of the time with my pet and would like to spend more time with dogs I have a back yard and my dog is friendly i can easily crate your pet and have a soft small stair case to my bed or sofa and water fountain and clean my home regularly

About: Hi! We’re so excited to meet you and your furry friends! Although this profile is under my name, my boyfriend Billy and I will be working together, which gives us more flexibility and availability to provide your pup with the attention and care they deserve. We’re both huge dog lovers and have plenty of experience caring for dogs. We have our own dog, Hudson, a big, lovable Anatolian Shepherd who is truly part of the family. Billy has had dogs his entire life and has experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, including potty training and caring for puppies. We understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and we’re happy to work with you to make sure your pup feels comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re in our care. I work at a school, so I’m typically available after 3:30 PM on weekdays. Billy works from home a few days a week, which gives him flexibility to help with quick walks and check-ins during the day. We’re both available most evenings and on weekends, giving us plenty of flexibility to fit your pup’s care into our schedule! We provide dog walks, drop-in visits, and in-home sitting, always focusing on making your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. We have plenty of hands-on experience from caring for our own dog, Hudson, and understand the importance of keeping pets on their usual routines. We also know the local area well and enjoy finding safe, enjoyable walking routes for every pup.

About: Hi! My name is Neil D. Wallace and I love dogs. Dogs make me happy. My favorite dogs are Blue Staffies and Pugs. I have most experience walking Doodles, Pitbulls, Huskies and Chihuahas. I also communicate everything, and promise an open book attitude with owners. All hours until i book my next show. This is just a side hustle when demand is low in the acting world, which will change, with my contribution. No matter what dog I take care of, there is always one thing in common. The owner is always right. Even if I think something might work better for the pups, the owner knows best; open communication is key.

About: Feathers, Fur, and Everything In Between Hey there! I’m Joanne, and I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals. My Experience: * Bird Mom: I’ve owned exotic birds for 15 years. * Vet Assistant Perks: I spent time working in a vet clinic, so I have experience working with cats and dogs. I know what to look for to make sure everyone is healthy and safe. * Shelter Volunteer : I’ve spent plenty of time volunteering at shelters, which means I’m great with small animals and exotics. My Philosophy: Whether I’m hanging out with your cat, walking your dog, or making sure your bird is chirping, I treat your pets like they’re my own family. You’ll get plenty of photos and updates so you know they’re having a good time while you’re away. Bottom line: Your pet’s comfort is my #1 priority. Let’s chat and see if I’m the right fit for your family ! By day, I’m working at the hospital, but in my off-hours, I’m all about the animals. Since my work life is all about care and attention to detail, I bring that same energy to looking after your pets during my free time. I’ve spent 15 years keeping exotic birds, and I currently have two budgies of my own. They get flight time, fresh water, and a spread of fresh veggies every single day—and I bring that same "spoiled and healthy" standard to every pet I watch. Whether you have a dog, a cat, or a feathered friend, I’ll make sure your pet gets the same experience. I make it my mission to ensure every pet in my care gets the exercise they need and their meals exactly how they like them.

About: Hello! My name is Julissa. I have so much love for all pets and animals. Growing up, i’ve always had a dog in the house, and they were always such an important member of our family. It’s been about five years since I’ve had a dog of my own. My last dog’s name was Sasha. We adopted her when she was six and had her until she was about thirteen. She was so smart, loving, and anxious when we first got her so our first few years together were spent establishing trust. Eventually we managed to off-leash train and we worked a lot on her recall so that we could enjoy longer walks and outdoor activities while ensuring that she always felt safe in her environment. At home we set her bed up in the kitchen, where we would pass our time cooking and spending a lot of quality time together. I had so many good years with my Sasha, and since she passed I have genuinely missed spending time with animals on a consistent basis. Since then, most if not all of my friends and family have entrusted me with taking care of their animals when they are busy or traveling, so I’ve had a lot of experience with many different pets and their varying needs/personalities. I work freelance as an artist. I am a musician, so I often stay at home practicing or composing. However most of my work is in the film industry, and this work ranges from smaller independent projects to network television. Although I do work on set sometimes, I try to take on as many post-production gigs as possible, so I often find myself sitting behind a desk all day. I have always made it a priority to work in a field that I am passionate about, and my decision to work with Rover has been no different. Caring for animals is not only something I am passionate about, but also a wonderful opportunity to go on walks and spend quality time with pets. I will always be very clear about any changes in my work schedule if those are to arise, but my reliability and dedication never wavers I have a fenced in yard and plenty of spaces in the house for your pet to wander and feel comfortable. I am also very trust worthy, organized, communicative, and extremely eager to work with you!

About: I have over 7 years of active, hands-on experience raising, training, and caring for dogs of all sizes, including large and powerful breeds like Rottweilers. Since 2018, I have been fully responsible for managing daily exercise routines, structured neighborhood walks, and feeding schedules.Beyond dogs, I am highly comfortable caring for cats, and other household animals. I am very attentive to animal body language, making sure your pets stay safe, comfortable, and appropriately active while you are away. Rain or snow, I stick strictly to your pet's schedule. Pet care fits smoothly into my weekly routine because I am an early bird who loves getting out of the house early to stay active. I prefer being highly proactive about my availability, meaning I only accept bookings on days when I am completely free and can dedicate my full attention to your pet. Whether you need structured early morning exercise routines, mid-day check-ins, or reliable evening walks, I communicate clearly and stick strictly to your pet's established schedule. When caring for pets in a client's home, safety is my absolute priority. I am highly attentive to animal body language and know how to maintain structural control when walking larger, powerful dogs on a leash. I strictly respect your household environment, adhere to your exact safety rules, and keep outdoor routines secure by avoiding any unpredictable interactions with strange dogs or crowded spaces.

My girl kitten was timid and didn't come out until the end but Jason sent me videos to show me she finally came out and interacted with him. Jason is professional and a super great communicator. Definitely keeping Jason as my Rover guy for all my future needs. Highly recommend.”

First and foremost, thank you both so much for your incredible service! Nasimul and Dominique were professional, caring, and highly responsive from start to finish. They followed all of my instructions perfectly, which gave me complete peace of mind and made me feel so secure while I was away. They are incredibly trustworthy! My cat is usually very shy and keeps to himself, but he wasn't shy with them at all. They made him feel so safe and comfortable that he was able to just be his usual happy self during their visits. THANK YOU! I will absolutely be a returning client.

I found Michelle on short notice when the weather was predicting thunder all day, and Ishby can be alone for a few hours but is scared of thunder. Michelle was easy to communicate with, understanding and trying to make things work for me as best she could even as the weather forecast was changing. When she came for the meet n greet, it was clear she has a way with dogs and Ishby got used to her quickly. She was in touch throughout the visit, took lots of pictures, fed Ishby as I asked her to, and I felt like my baby was in good hands. Grateful for Michelle's help!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Queens Village

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Queens Village on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 27,043 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Queens Village. 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 Village 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 Village. 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.
