“Jazmin stayed at our home to watch our two dogs Zeke and Ruby. She was very responsive and attentive to our babies! She kept our house clean and is very reliable. I would recommend Jazmin to any dog sitter!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Ashley took amazing care of our dogs and our home while we were away. She kept us updated throughout the stay with great communication and of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. The best part was coming home to happy, relaxed dogs, it was obvious they had been so well cared for that they hardly seemed to miss us! We truly appreciated the love and attention she gave each of them, as well as the care she took with our home. We are so grateful for everything she did and will absolutely be requesting her again for our future pet care needs. Highly recommend!”

“Kari is amazing with our two pets! She was kind enough to care for them at a last minute request! She truly picked up quickly on all their quirks and personality traits and caters to them beautifully. We’re so lucky to have her care for our pets! She also captures their personalities in her great pictures!!”
“Omg they are the best. I have a 75 in pitbull he a big scared baby. They were so amazing with him and so so so so patient. He usually scared of anyone besides us but warmed right up to both of them. It was so amazing to see him be so comfortable with people other than us. They were very timely and communicated often with tons of adorable picture. They did an absolutely awesome job and can’t wait to book them again. 10/10 recommend”

About: My name is Sarah and I am so excited to take care of your animals! I have experience taking care of pets my whole life as I have grown up taking care of dogs and cats. I also have about 7 years of professional experience pet sitting and dog walking. I am extremely reliable and responsible. I am willing to take care of dogs and cats of any size, age, and breed. I have experience giving medications to pets and taking care of senior pets. I love animals and I am compassionate towards all animals. I will treat your pets as if they are my own. I am offering services including dog walking, drop in visits at your home, overnight visits at your home, and long-term home visits. I live in the Harborview area of Suffolk Virginia and I can commit to visiting your pet several times per day or week, whatever your needs may be. I am available during the weekdays for drop-in visits until 5 pm. I am available for some weekend availability. My availability changes based upon the week. I offer safety for your pets by coming into the house slowly and making sure no pets escape, making sure all dogs are secure in harnesses and leashes before going on walks, making sure dogs are safe on walks and there are no run ins with other animals, and ensuring that animals are safe in the yard during yard let outs and there are no holes in fences. I also watch animal's behavior during visits to ensure they are not acting sick or injured. I also offer safety for your pets by ensuring they are safely locked in the house before I leave.
“Trevor was attentive to my highly active german shepherds and two cats. He left the house in great shape, and walked the dogs willingly, which ive never had another pet sitter do before. He was inquisitive about the house and responsive if I had any questions. He was extremely communicative throughout watching them as well”
“We had a wonderful experience with Emmanuel! He took exceptional care of our 4-month-old puppy while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. He followed his schedule closely, made sure he got plenty of playtime and exercise, and even continued working on his training and good habits. It was clear from the updates that our puppy was getting lots of attention, affection, and engagement throughout the stay. When we returned home, he was happy, healthy, well-cared for, and settled into his normal routine with no issues. We truly appreciated the level of care, professionalism, and dedication Emmanuel showed. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet.”
“Austin was great! He is easy going and friendly. He took the time to get know the animals and asked a lot of questions to make sure he understood how best to care for them. I was able to leave town and not stress at all. Would definitely hire him again.”
About: Ever since I was young animals have played a huge role in my life. From my first dog to the mini zoo I have today. I am familiar with many breeds of dogs and cats as well as reptiles and recognize each one has its own characteristics and personality. Whether it's a walk, play time, or just someone to keep your pet company, I will appreciate and enjoy my time with them. I am a stay at home father of two. I am available most days. I have been working with pets for the past 4 years M-F with the occasional weekend visits. I love what I do and I take pride in my ability to befriend all pets. I believe each and every person has a responsibility, when they take on a pet, to give it the best life with a loving owner. I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 4 lizards, 2 turtles, and 4 fish who all get attention suited to their needs and desires while also being attentive to proper and healthy care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Green Acres
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Anastasia took such great care of our fur babies and gave us peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We received lots of communication and photos and I think our youngest Max has a crush! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dependable. We have already rebooked!
Jazmin has watched our pets a few times now and I can say she’s truly outstanding with animals and is a delight to work with. We have a reactive chihuahua who is VERY choosy about who watches her and brand new rescue Pomchi who can also take a while to warm up, but Jazmin seems to have the magic touch when it came to earning trust and building a relationship quickly. Jazmin took time to meet with us ahead of our trip to meet the animals and address concerns, has always been communicative, sharing updates consistently (with pictures!) and meeting the very specific needs of our extended furry family. I can see why she has so many outstanding reviews. She’s one of the very few people we will trust with our petsitting needs! I can’t recommend her enough.
Genesis, is great with my dog. Very reliable and trustworthy. I have used her services twice now and I have no complaints. She is flexible, has great communication and gives great care to my dog. She makes traveling so much easier knowing my dog is with someone I trust and my home is in safe hands.
Kimberly was a fantastic caretaker for our two anxious pups! She was so communicative and caring, making sure to let us know exactly when she was arriving and how our pups were doing (pics included). Even our skittish girl Lilly was at ease with Kimberly and let her give cuddles and medication to her. Kimberly treated our home with respect and left it nice and clean. 10/10 recommend and we’ll definitely be working with her again!!
Abby was such a wonderful sitter for our pomsky! She sent numerous photos and videos of our beloved doggy over the course of her stay, and in each one I could tell that she was taking excellent care of our very particular dog. We will definitely use Abby again the next time we need a sitter!
Dianna was available when we had a last minute change of plans to leave town for the holiday weekend. She responded immediately and scheduled a meet and greet within 24 hours. She was responsive, checked in multiple times, and sent pictures of our fur babies throughout the weekend.

The average cost of House Sitting in Green Acres is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $61 per night. 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.
As of October 2026, there are 1,322 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Green Acres. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Green Acres walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Green Acres maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Green Acres choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
