“Repeat customer, Stephanie (Net) is the best and goes above and beyond. We have a bunch of pets including a senior dog and a high energy middle age pup (cats, a lizard, oh my!) and she’s great with everyone. Highly recommend!”
“Patricia was great to work with, she always sent multiple pictures and updates with each visit while she house sat our two goofy senior dogs. Thanks for taking great care of them!”
About: I have 2 dogs at home back in Austin, one since late 2012, the other since early 2016. I've always gotten along well with dogs. I've found that most of them are very perceptive to who dog people are and they basically always recognize that in me. My dogs back in Austin helped me get through the day. Other than going to school at Hudson Valley Community College, there hopefully shouldn't be any scheduling conflicts. I try to make sure my dogs get enough attention, and usually we can count on each other for emotional support when they wouldn't prefer to spend time with the other members of my family.
“We have had Madalyn watch our dog three times so far and have been very happy with the experience and care received. during a recent snow storm, she brought our dog to stay with her at our home, which relieved us greatly.”
“Ceilia was fantastic with Whiskey and went beyond her duties during my absence! Whiskey looked very happy on every pic and will miss her. She stayed at my house and was very respectful of my home. I will definitely rebook her in the future and can’t recommend her enough! Thank you Ceilia for taking such good care of my boy!”
“Lauren was fantastic with taking care of Sully and our home. She provided frequent updates, photos, and clearly made sure he was comfortable and having fun. We will certainly look to her in the future as well.”
“Samantha was absolutely amazing and made me feel so comfortable leaving my pets with someone for the first time. She gave me daily updates, cleaned up my dog, and even took care of my cat’s litter. She sent pictures of my babies every day, which made me so happy and gave me so much peace of mind. Not to mention, my house was well taken care of when I returned. She is absolutely wonderful, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies!”
“Linda was amazing and I would highly recommend her. Linda provided such comfort and care to our 14 year old pup, Timmy, who was just a few weeks removed from losing his 15 year old best friend, Scooter. When our flight home was canceled due to a snow storm, Linda was able to accomodate the change in plans and spend a few extra nights with him. Timmy is looking forward to spending more time with Linda in the future!”
“Julie has been wonderful to our family and our dog. She is reliable, attentive, communicative and very caring. She goes above and beyond to make things as smooth as possible for us and helps out any way she can. We are very lucky to work with her!”
About: I have, of course experience as a pet lover as a young child, merely watching and walking the dogs, feeding and changing litter/ picking up after the dogs. I never fully had responsibility and experience until I adopted my pal Leo. He is a high energy lab retriever and puts me through every step of patience! All in all, it has taught me to be stern and serious when needed, but flip it around to fun and playful as well. My boy knows to respect me and listen when i give a command. I know with my body language and direct nature will ensure your pups and kitties are loved and watched over. I will give your pets the time and attention you allow and ensure that while you are away there is plenty of fun to be had, and plenty of adventure as well :) I will be enrolling in school online at SNHU and will be taking courses at home. I will have afternoons and evenings off, So, plenty of free time for your beloved furry companions. I have experience with all types of dogs, not so much cats, but i am a day by day learner! I take everything into opportunity to gain a new skill. I will ensure your pet feels safe and secure with me, all of their needs will be met so long as they are in my care! :)
“She was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly thorough with her questions beforehand and took amazing care of our animals. She sent tons of pictures every day and left the house completely spotless. 100% will be using her in the future to take care of our animals.”
“Phelan was great and our pups were very happy when we returned! She kept us updated and sent lots of pictures and video. She took great time and care and we will be booking her again! Thank you for taking care of our babies!”
“Emily was excellent with our two cats. She stopped by twice before our trip to meet our cats and go over their needs. She stayed overnight with them for two nights, giving them plenty of attention and being very communicative about the cats receiving their medication, including sharing photos. Emily was great, and we highly recommend her; we plan to hire her again for our next trip.”
About: I treat all animals as if they are my own ( even the wild ones :') ). I provide my own pets with consistent, routine driven training that keeps them stimulated while also building the bond between us. Whether a cat, dog, or other furry friends, you can count on me to show them the love and care that they deserve. I love taking my dogs for a walk or just sitting and talking with them. Routine training and walking has helped me be successful when I have owned/trained my dogs. Calm, consistent leadership is so important in the dynamic of my animals and I. Both of my dogs are crate trained, walked twice daily to keep their minds stimulated, and PLAYTIME! Lots of playtime throughout the day. I cannot be with my dogs all day so I do need to wear them out sometimes when I know I will be gone for more than 4 hours. On top of general maintenance for the animals, high quality food and bone/joint supplements are provided as well as healthy treats. We try to only bathe when needed but that's usually once a month. Both of my dogs are linked with a vet as well in case of emergency and they are up to date on all their shots and medications to keep them healthy and disease free.
“Christina was fantastic! She gave us a ton of pictures and updates of our pups throughout our week long vacation. She took great care of our house and both our temperamental huskies. We highly recommend her to anyone who needs house/dog sitting in the future. We will definitely be using her services again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Green Island is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Green Island
Net was fantastic. After having our first Rover sitter cancel within a month of our first vacation using Rover we were a little apprehensive to rebook… I saw Net’s reviews and figured I’d take a chance. I am SO GLAD I did. During our first meeting she immediately alleviated our stress and anxiety about not only leaving our kids (3 dogs and 1 cockatiel) but that added worry about having to scramble to find a new sitter after the first one unceremoniously canceled on us. Fast forward to our actual vacation: it was so nice to get constant updates about all our animals. I love that she’s a firm believer that there are no bad dogs, and she also let our pets take their time warming up to her. (My bird definitely takes a bit, and our littlest dog is also very standoff-ish at first.) The daily pictures and updates of everyone really showed how much she saw and appreciated each of their personalities. I already have her booked for my next trip and she’s going to be my go-to every time now.
Anna is awesome! She took care of our 3 dogs, 2 cats, & 9 chickens. Our youngest dog is only 6 months and a handful! She did so good with him even though he can puah your buttons! Our small female dog can be quite stubborn and standoffish, but by day 2, her and Anna were BFFs. My eldest dog loves everyone and let Anna know she was protected with lots of snuggles. She was great with them all and watched our house! Everything was clean like we never left. Highly recommend her. She also stayed in touch and sent videos and photos of our fur babies! Thank you, Anna!
Nina got all the info needed at our meet & greet. She was a careful, patient listener since I was a bit anxious about leaving my dog/home with someone new. She was great and it was a reassurance to know everything was in good hands. I look forward to being able to rely on Nina again on future occasions.
Patricia is so personable!! As soon as I met her, I knew she would be awesome with my 10 year old morkie, Rosie!! You can tell she loves animals and will do her best to take care of them. I would hire her again! Trustworthy, kind, loving and dependable are just a few words that describe her!!
Absolutely phenomenal housesitter for our dog and two cats, if we need to go out of town again we hope she will watch our pets again. We received updates each morning and evening. She was also very flexible with our schedule, we got on the road later than planned and she was very understanding about all of it. Highly recommend!
Ryley is a great sitter! She house sat for me for a weeklong trip. I have an elderly dog that I thought would be more comfortable being home and I could tell she was relaxed and well taken care of while I was gone. I also have a younger rambunctious dog that Ryley took on several adventures and was able to keep him out of trouble. She left my house spotless and I could tell both dogs were happy under her care. I would highly recommend her and plan to use her again in the future.
Evelyn recently spent three nights in my home with my Great Dane, Taylor, and I couldn't have been happier with how things went. Evelyn was able to handle all of Taylor's quirks and provided me with regular updates, many including pictures. And my house was neat and clean when I returned home. I would recommend her to anyone looking for quality in-home service.
Myia is a terrific petsitter! From our initial contact, she was consistently responsive and professional. She cared for our 50lb dog for a full week and our pup was well cared for and in good hands. My family would utilize her services in the future and we would highly recommend Myia to others in need of pet sitting services.
We felt so comfortable leaving our pup in Cheyenne’s care! Cheyenne went out of her way to make sure our girl was not only safe and cared for, but also had so much fun playing while we were away. We received such great photos and updates while we were gone, and knew our girl was in the best hands. We had so much confidence knowing Cheyenne’s extensive history and experience with animals, which was even more reassuring (our pup has seizures from time to time and takes a daily medication). Cheyenne was also so respectful of our home, and always communicated promptly and professionally. Thank you again, Cheyenne!!
Nicole took such good care of our golden retriever Tanner and tuxedo cat Milo for a week while we were away. She gave them both a lot of attention, took Tanner out on walks and made sure they both received a lot of love and treats. I enjoyed the pictures of both of them each day and I could see they were both happy and enjoying her care. She made sure the house was tidy and picked up after our week away which I greatly appreciated. She is an excellent pet sitter.
Laina was so wonderful with my boys! I was so busy while away with training, but she was sure to send me daily updates with photographs. My boys warmed up to her so quick (which is usual for one of them). The house was just as I left it. Laina walking the boys in the yard to make sure they got all their energy out and gave them as much cuddling as they requested. I already have her booked do another stay! She will absolutely be my GO TO for any future trips.

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 Island 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 Island 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 Island 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.
