Net has been absolutely amazing with our dogs, especially helping us adjust to our new addition to the family. We have a 5-year-old Norwegian Elkhound and a ~5-month-old Norwegian Elkhound, and she has been wonderful with both of them. On the days she walks them, I come home from work to two dogs who are calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. From the very first meeting, they adored her and were immediately comfortable playing and spending time with her. I’m incredibly thankful to have found someone so reliable and kind who has taken the stress of midday walks off my plate. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Linda was so kind and took such good care of my senior cat. I felt very safe being away from home with Linda taking care of my fur baby. I will definitely be a repeat customer!

About: I am a dedicated pet sitter with over seven years of experience providing loving care for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and breeds. Growing up with dogs, I have developed a passion for animal welfare at a young age, and have decided to turn this passion into a career, offering peace of mind to pet owners while they are away. I also have a German Shepherd Mix named Paloma, who is a sweet and loving rescue, but can also be anxious and temperamental in certain environments. Therefore, I am well-equipped with the knowledge and understanding required to care for dogs that require extra attention/accommodation. I have a full-time job, but can be available outside of my work hours of 7:30-4:30pm M-F. If needed and communicated in advance, I can be flexible. As an experienced and loving pet sitter, I bring exceptional care to make every visit special in your home, I'll follow your routines, manage any quirks with ease, and shower your dog with the affection they deserve, ensuring their comfort and happiness while you're away.

It’s rare to find someone who understands and cares for our cats -rescues and extremely shy-so well. She has an exceptional way of connecting with them, which was both heartwarming and made us feel incredibly lucky to have found her. Coming home to a tidy space and seeing our cats so relaxed was such a delight! we’ll definitely book her services again :)

About: I have extensive experience caring for animals of all species, especially dogs and cats.Through both personal and hands-on experience, I have developed strong skills in animal handling, feeding, health monitoring, and maintaining clean, safe living environments. I have a genuine passion for animals and am committed to providing compassionate, reliable care that promotes their health, comfort, and well-being. Pet care is already a central part of my daily routine. As the owner of my own pet sitting business, I carefully organize and schedule my days around my clients' needs to ensure every pet receives reliable, consistent, and attentive care. I plan visits according to each pet's established routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication administration, litter box or enclosure maintenance, and companionship. Having spent years caring for and rescuing animals, I am accustomed to structuring my schedule around their well-being. My flexible routine allows me to provide dependable care while giving each pet the time, attention, and individualized support they deserve. I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while their owners are away. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care is always my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, medical needs, and any special instructions provided by their owner. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I maintain a clean, calm, and secure environment and closely monitor pets for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. I understand that every animal is unique and deserves individualized care, patience, and attention. I follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise requirements, and household rules exactly as requested. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel confident and reassured while they are away. As a lifelong animal caregiver with extensive experience caring for animals, I strive to build trust with both pets and their owners by treating every animal as if they were my own.

Samantha was absolutely fantastic! With both my cats being terrified of people, she did a great job in giving them their space and allowing them to feel comfortable enough to come out and eat while she waited. This is the first time I’ve ever had to have somebody come over and feed them when I wasn’t home so I was extremely nervous, but everything went perfectly! (Even though she had to track them down for a picture at the end 😭)

Kim is hands down the best cat sitter I've ever worked with. She was so attentive with my two cats while I was away for over a week. Her daily updates through photos and messages made me feel ease knowing my kitties were in good hands. Absolutely would recommend Kim to anyone who needs a pet sitter!

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbor’s dogs for many years. I make sure to walk them every day with a balanced meal. I will bathe your dog if requested or as needed. I’m a currently working full time from 8-4:30, so I’m available in the evenings and weekends. Despite this, I would be happy to care for your animals and find time to accommodate for you! I live in an apartment with my partner and our two cats so, I’ll only be able to provide services at the client’s house. I will take the dog on leash if there is no fence. I have worked in animal clinic in the kennel so I experience with crating dogs at night. I additionally love spending time with cats and will play with them. I like to meet cats where they are at and not push their boundaries.

***FIRST TIME ROVER USER**** When my normal sitter became unavailable, unexpectantly, I had no idea what to do. I was at the point of not going away on my vacation because it was about a week away from leaving. This was my first time using Rover, and my anxiety was through the roof about the entire process and the idea of a stranger coming into my home. I chose Marybeth primarily based upon location, her photos of her and her pets and her age/experience. Upon meeting Marybeth, her overall kindness and genuine, sweet, friendly personality put me at ease immediately. She listened attentively to what my needs were and my animals routines, without trying to change or judge anything. She was promptly responsive to all of my communication prior to leaving for my trip and the duration as well. When meeting (2) of my (3) fur babies kitties (only because 1 is a scaredy cat and won't come out for anyone really), you could tell immediately that she has a love of cats and taking care of them appropriately and lovingly. I left instructions for her and she followed all of my requests (even non animal related, like bringing in my mail and checking on my refrigerator door that pops open). She was even kind enough to check on my hamster even though that was not part of the animals requested to watch. Every day while I was gone, she was on time, left me a happy little note about the status of everything and pictures of all my babies. Personally, the fear/worry/anxiety about leaving my babies as well as just someone coming in my home was enormous, and Marybeth really put that to ease for me. (I know I already mentioned that, but I figured for anyone reading this, who is on the fence about hiring through Rover). I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, kind, sweet person to take care of your precious family members while you are away. She even returned my key promptly upon my return. Thank you to her again. I am forever grateful for her.

Jose did an amazing job with Marley! I was able to leave an entire week without having to worry once. Was always on time and walked my dog to the park every time. Marley loved Jose, so much so Marley was playing fetch with sticks which I’ve never seen him do! Jose also took amazing pictures at every check in

Elise was a very dedicated sitter! She made sure to get visual confirmation every day that the kitties were doing well. Our kitties are afraid of people and hide but she won them over, with treats of course! She was detail oriented following all of our directions. She provided a thorough description each day along with plenty of photos. It was a delight to see her updates. These put us at ease knowing the kitties were in great hands. I would absolutely book Elise again!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Green Island

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Green Island on Rover is $17.12 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,219 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Green Island. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Green Island stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Green Island. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
