“While I was on my honeymoon, Justin did more than a phenomenal job. My husband and I have never used rover before and have a ton of cats (6 inside and 10+ strays we feed). Justin kept me up to date everyday with great photos, told me how they were doing and made sure they ate and we're fine without us haha. If I could ever only recommend one person, it would be Justin. He is absolutely fantastic and if you're looking for someone to take care of your animal while you are gone, Justin is your guy.”
“First time using Rover and Brittany. She did an initial meet and greet and came by one more time before services started since I was a new customer. Brittany communicated daily and sent pictures. One of my cats needed meds and she did all as requested. Would use her again and do recommend.”
About: I work currently for an Animal Hospital, I have 4 years of experience with Animals big or small, I own 3 pitbulls at home and care for them everyday. I also know certain allergens and certain sickness if needed. I am currently working every Mon, Tues, Wed, and Fri, and at least 1 Sat per month.

I have a fenced yard, with 2 senior pit bulls and one 3 year opd pit bull, who is a little goober. I take special care for my seniors by making sure they can safely walk outside and potty, and I have them on specific diets that consists of fiber and iron to help thier joints feel better. As far as my younger one I daily train him to keep him in line. But he usually will get a specific diet for his digestive issues, so no human food and on a gastrointestinal wet and dry food.
“Abigail was wonderful. She took great care of our cat, always made sure that he was well loved and looked after while we were gone. Abigail was also great at communicating and was super attentive to details. We would definitely book Abigail again.”
“Brittany did a great job this weekend. She is so attentive to our dogs needs and likes. I highly recommend her if your dogs are as big a part of your family as ours are.”

“Leonitia, is amazing! This is our first time using a pet sitter for our cat Goldie and she put us at ease. She is great in communicating and very accommodating. Definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone! Will be using her services again. Thanks, Leonitia from us & Goldie”
About: I’ve had dogs in my family home since I was about 10 years old! I’ve watched about 3 different dogs all at the same time and each had different needs. I love animals and playing with them and cuddling with them. Since I was 10 I’ve watched my families dogs and then I branched out to friends as well! I watched pets up until my 2 year of college as I lost a lot of my clients as my schedule got too hectic unfortunately. I am looking to help again as my roommates dog has reminded me how much I miss helping with pets and interacting with them. I am familiar with the puppy stages and all the love and care that it entails I am not scared of any animal not matter the shape and size! The bigger the pet the better the cuddles! My childhood dog is an older puppy so I’m familiar with giving medicine and massages for the older pups! As of right now I unfortunately lost my job due to my location closing down. I am wide open most days all day of of right now but I will be updating my schedule as frequently as possible for the convenience of my clients! I love to play with dogs and I can follow pet instructions very well! I’m not scared to give medicine and supplements and I love to walk dogs and snuggle. I’m also happy to just keep pets company and can bring things to do if your pet just wants people around!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Van Wyck is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $31 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.

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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
