“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!”

“Anastasia was wonderful with our pets! She kept us updated the whole time we were gone, and she was very observant and took care of everything the animals needed. She made our pets feel very comfortable while we were away. Would absolutely book again!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Robbyn. Jackson immediately connected with her, and he was more relaxed than I’ve ever seen him for a high energy puppy. She kept the place spotless, communicated regularly, and sent plenty of photos so I always knew he was doing well. I’m truly grateful for the care she provided, and I will definitely be booking with her again.”

“We left the country for 19 days and left behind our 5 adult cats, which broke my heart because they’re my children, and I would never forgive myself if something happened to them. So it was really hard for me to leave them alone... Such a huge mental challenge that was made so much easier by Kaylee’s care, patience and attention to detail. She’s young but admirably responsible. I left so many instructions printed with pictures explaining everything about their personalities, preferences and routines that I’m sure it was overwhelming, but she was absolutely amazing and did exactly what I asked. I think she understood that I was anxious, worried and sad about leaving them alone, so she sent me pictures of each of the 5 cats every single day during those 19 days we were away from home, which I’m sure must have been a big challenge because they hid from her and my house is big, a two story house... But I needed to be sure they were all alive and okay, and she went the extra mile looking for them and taking pictures every single day for me. And because of that, she scored many points! I’m so glad we found her because it’s been so hard to find a reliable cat sitter nowadays. As soon as we got home, I could see how tidy everything was and how much care she had taken with every detail I had explained about their food, water and bowls, as well as all the cat litter boxes in the house. From now on, I don’t want anyone else taking care of my cats but her. 🙏🏻❤️”

About: I’ve never really known life without pets. Dogs and cats have been part of my household since I was a toddler. I've cared for a pretty wide range of personalities, breeds, ages, and energy levels.. I’ve also provided occasional pet sitting for friends and family, including walks, feeding routines, and basic grooming, and overnight care. I currently have two cats of my own, who are frequently spoiled. So I am also well-versed in cat care. In the past I’ve owned several other cats and dogs, including a Jack Russell Terrier, a Black Lab Retriever, and a Coonhound. I am conscientious about the pets in my care. I take the time to get to know the animals and follow their normal routine as much as possible. I can happily provide energetic walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. Whatever their particular needs and quirks, I will be attentive and affectionate with your pets while you are away. I am currently currently working from home part-time. My schedule is usually flexible, so I can accommodate the specific needs of your pets. I look forward to talking with you. I am very communicative with my clients. I want to you to be confident that your pet will be well cared for. I strictly follow my clients’ instructions and can send pictures and updates as often as requested.
About: I grew up on a farm in the south with lots of animals! I have always had dogs since I was a child, so I adore dogs of all sizes and breed. I am available 7 days a week for sitting or day care. I am home all day most of the time, love to take dogs on walks or play in my very large fenced in back yard. My husband and I no longer have animals of our own, so we get our love from sitting others animals. I'm also a nurse, so I am perfectly comfortable administering meds and keeping track of special needs if necessary.

“Anna Mei, was great and communication, scheduling, and keeping us a ease. We have never left our fur babies alone and they can hanve an attttittttude!!!! She was able to handle all of their boycotting, rebellion antics, and corks when we were away. We will be booking her, if she let's us. She was great. 😃”

“Hillary did a great job taking care of Sir Henry! She kept me updated throughout the visit, took him for a walk, played with him, and made sure he had plenty of attention and activity. When we arrived home, Sir Henry was happily napping, which told me he had a fun and busy afternoon. I really appreciated the updates and knowing he was being well cared for while we were away. Overall, we were very happy with Hillary and would be happy to have her watch Sir Henry again!”

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 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.
“Kari was amazing with my pups. She sent me pictures throughout the day and kept me informed of all their activities and was very patient when Sunshine didn’t want her meds. 100% recommended!”

“Sara stepped in at the last minute when the dogsitter I had originally booked had to cancel the day before I was scheduled to leave. She was GREAT with two of my dogs, and although I had already made plans for my third, human-selective dog for that weekend, Phoebe surprised me by deciding Sara was a new favorite-human at the meet-and-greet for her two sisters, so I went ahead and booked Sara for this upcoming weekend, as well! I highly recommend Sara! She treated my pups like her own and provided pupdates with pictures, as well. They had a blast with her!”

“Moni was very sweet and did a great job caring for my three pets, including a senior dog. She sent videos regularly and stuck to their schedule. She was also very respectful of our house and was neat and clean. It was a relief knowing my animals were well cared for. I hope to use Moni again and can recommend her.”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Green Acres is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $64 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.

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.
Tip: 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
