“Hemei did a great job taking care of our cat. She did everything we asked and was very communicative. We felt very comfortable being away with our cat in her care and would definitely book her again.”
“Erica was great! Communicative and friendly, and did everything she could with my unfriendly cat. Gave my cat her pills exactly how I showed her to do it, and left everything in perfect condition on my return home. Was my first time using Rover and I will be booking her again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs, guinea pigs, and fish. I myself have a seven year old bichon who I take care of. I can take your fur babies on walks, a personal pet picnic, or even take them to a pet park so they can socialize with other pets. I am currently a full time teacher. So I am available after 2:30 and full time on weekends. To schedule care time, please give me two weeks notice. Thank you! I can take care of your dog in your own home. Of course, safety comes first, please leave me notes so that I will be aware of it.
“Sylvia is my go to pet sitter whenever I need to leave my cat True home for trips. She’s very responsive, sends plenty of photos and videos of True, which makes me feel so much better about leaving True home. Overall a very trustworthy and reliable sitter.”
“Jessica is wonderful. She came prepared to our meet and greet with questions and notes and she always responds quickly when you send her a message.

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I’m always ready to provide the same love and care as if they were my own. I’m here to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and well-cared for. With a hybrid weekly work schedule, I’m home for three days and onsite for two. This flexibility allows me to offer pet sitting services on weekends and overnight during the week. In my spacious apartment, your dog will have plenty of room to play and feel at home. Additionally, there’s a nearby park with ample space where your dog can enjoy running and exploring.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs and my family for almost 15 years. I also work for a dog walking/ sitting company throughout college! I am currently working part-time. I have a lot of extra time on my hands help you with your your furry friend! I can walk them or check in on them whenever you need! I always make sure our furry friend is secured in their leash or harness. I also have a backyard if they decide to join me and my golden retriever, Zelda, at our house!
About: I grew up with a dog and with 6 indoor cats and 4 outdoor cats. I understand each animal has its own unique personality. I can grasp whether a pet likes to be directly acknowledged or needs time to observe my character. I work night shifts as a hostess/server, but can walk and take care of your pets during the day. A week in advance would be needed for night stay. I make sure to listen to pet’s needs: if they stand by the door or come up to me to bring them outside. If they’re the type of pet who doesn’t directly ask, I tend to go for a walk about once an hour. Good for me to get some fresh air and good for the dog to walk around. For all animals: whenever they come up to me, I’m more than happy to give them love and attention. For eating habits: that depends on every client instruction.
“Kloe is my go-to sitter. She always goes above an beyond. My cat is not easy to deal with and Kloe has always been so kind to her. She even took her for a walk once(cuz’ my cat loves that). Couldn’t recommend enough 🫶🏼”
“Incredibly attentive and super accommodating. Xue was very communicative each walk and made me feel so secure and comforted that my fur baby was in the best hands while I was at work. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: Hi, I'm Maria! I adore dogs and cats! I've been walking and sitting dogs for over 13 years and a professional pet photographer for 8 years. I grew up with lots of cats and dogs, and I volunteered at an animal hospital while in college. Today, I have a friendly female creme Shiba Inu, Lula. I offer 1/2-hour or full-hour dog walks and pets sitting in the Whitestone and Beechhurst areas of Queens. I will take your puppy to the park for a stroll, a dog park or just around your area - whatever you prefer. Dogs in my trust for walks are NEVER left alone or unsupervised. I always "clean up" after dogs in my care and keep them on the leash unless, with your permission, we go to a secure fenced dog park. Whatever your instructions I will make sure they are followed exactly as you request. I'm a punctual, responsible, and respectful person who loves dogs. I will take good care of your puppy as if they were my own. I will make sure they feel comfortable and receive plenty of attention and affection during their stay with me! As a lifelong owner of dogs and cats, providing a consistent schedule of daily care, feeding, walks, and affection comes naturally to me and my schedule. I provide care, feeding, clean up and affection as instructed. I'm also happy to follow any other instructions that may be specific to each pet.
About: I have 10 years of experience in raising cats and 6 years of experience in rescuing stray cats. I have 3 cats at home. I am experienced in taking care of kittens, sick cats and dealing with cat stress. I live in a large house with 6 rooms and a backyard for two families. Most of the cats that come to foster care are in single rooms. I love cats, just like I love my own children. My husband and I work from home, so we have plenty of time to take care of your pets, we have plenty of time to take them for a walk. The house I live in has two floors and six rooms. I hope the owner provides food, and I will be provide snacks. The cats will live alone in the cat house for the first two days when they come to my house. I will observe the friendliness of the cats to decide whether to let them play with other cats.
“Marianna was wonderful. She was punctual and detailed and communicative! Mariana provided my family much peace of mind when she was sitting for our two cats! They were very happy with her, She did some extra work on the litter pan making sure it was very clean to make them extra comfortable! We would definitely hire her again.”

Whitestone pet parents share their Rover experiences
Charlie very gracefully accommodated our last minute request to drop in on our two cats, which we really appreciate. He did an outstanding job ensuring they had food, water, and litter, and was very responsive. We loved receiving updates on the cats every day. Would book again if I have the opportunity.
Shibo was absolutely amazing! I have two male cats, and one of them I had just adopted 10 days before leaving for my trip. He was very skittish when I first got him, but he warmed up to Shibo right away. My other cat took a liking to him immediately as well—who wouldn’t! Shibo was so wonderful, giving my cats the attention they needed while I was away. In the past, I relied on neighbors and people just stopping by to feed and check on them, but my experience with Shibo has completely changed my perspective. It is worth every penny to have someone as great as him looking after your fur babies! When I returned, I could see the difference in my fluffy companions in the best way as this is very early in their introduction phase. I had peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. Shibo provided fantastic updates and beautiful photos, making it clear that my cats had a wonderful time with their new friend. I have full trust in Shibo as I also came home to find everything exactly as I expected. I highly recommend Shibo for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! Especially cats.
Jungmin was very responsive and kind for check-in visits for my cat! She sent plenty of photos and kept him well fed and cleaned up after him (he's quite messy) . We met up before I left and she was very attentive and made sure all was in order for her visits. Thank you very much, Jungmin!
