“This was the first time leaving our dog alone for more than a day. Laura was great, providing consistent visits twice a day, which helped with his anxiety. Her reports on his status set us at ease. We are very happy with the entire experience and would use Laura again without hesitation.”
About: I have had dogs and cats in my life since I was a a child. I am very comfortable no matter the size of the dog. I am able to administer medication either by pills, liquid or injection. I love to play fetch or just hang out and relax with your furry friends. Always willing to give lots of love and attention. I currently have a Blue Heeler and a Labradoodle, a Maine Coon and a Torti ranging in age from 4 years to 16 so I am prepared for almost anything 😂 I currently work from home and complete my job by 1:30 pm so I have plenty of time to spend with your babies. Time for a walk or to go out and play catch. Not currently taking pets at home . I do have a large backyard but it is not fenced in yet. Hopefully I can get it fenced in soon.

About: I have 3 cats at home with my wife. We spoil them with everything they need to live a fun and adventurous feline life and we wanna do the same for yours. While I don't have any kind of professional background with pet care, I can make up for it with a lifelong history of loving and caring for my own. Pets are more than just animals but a part of a family. I can guarantee your pet will feel the same warmth and love I've given to mine. Even at odd hours I will be available. I'm currently part time so I have plenty of time to check in or watch your dog in the the day. I'm also available at night. I have a big backyard so I spend a lot of time with pets there. There is plenty of room to run around and play.

I live next to Astoria park and can provide the necessary stimuli to make sure your pup is entertained and happy😁 I have a 2 year old poodle that needs daily allergy medication. I provide special care for her and monitor her very closely. I also administer shots for allergy related issues. I treat my pets as I would my own child. I understand that pets are part of the family and I promise to treat them as such. I have a pup of my own and my wife and I love her dearly. I promise i will treat your pet as if he/she were my own because I know how important they are to you and you’re family.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Young Acres
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 272 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Young Acres. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Young Acres. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 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.
