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.

About: Hi, I’m Jennifer! I offer a safe, loving “home away from home” where your dog is treated like family. I accept drop-ins, boarding and dog walking. For boarding your pup will have constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I have 2 dogs Milo & Ori. Both are 9 years old and are shy and protective so for your pups safety (if boarding) dogs will be separated. Our days include fun backyard playtime, neighborhood walks, and cozy evening couch cuddles. I strictly follow your pet's feeding and medicine schedules to keep their routine normal. You will receive daily photo updates so you can enjoy your trip with peace of mind. I work full time Wednesday - Saturday at my regular job. I am also available to care for your pet all day/overnight on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays. I have a medium/large fenced back yard where your dog can roam and sniff around for potty breaks. I live right by the Mohawk-Hudson trail where I can take your pup for long and beautiful nature walks. I also allow dogs on my couch where they can relax.

About: Having grown up with cats and dogs, I recently spent a couple of years on a horse farm caring for horses, cows, chickens, large dogs, and barn cats. From feeding and bathing to administering medicine, I've spent years with animals. I love meeting new pets and learning about them. I look forward to making memories with these new pets and hopefully making pet parents’ day a little easier. I’m currently a senior in high school but I only have 3 classes from 10-12:30 making my schedule pretty open on weekdays. On weekends I host kids birthday parties which are usually only 2 hours and from 12-2 or 2-4 other than that I am free. When it comes to drop in visits I like to follow strictly to pet parents instructions to make sure all expectations are being met with no risk of harm to pets or property.

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 :)

Nicole went above and beyond for our two cats while we were out of town for almost 2 weeks, including staying extra time to try and find our super shy cat, and helping us rig up a camera to watch her eat to make sure she was doing well. She also brought in our mail and a couple packages while we were gone which was a huge help. Both cats were well cared for, even though one never made an appearance!!

About: I will pay full attention to your pet. I am flexible and I can work with you to tend to your pet's every need. I am often the go-to call when my friends or neighbors plan to go away. I will love your furry family member like they are my own. The great bonus for me is the love I get in return from your pet and hopefully provide peace of mind to the owners. I have one 18-year-old grumpy kitty who I love dearly, who will happily hide in my bedroom – and ever so briefly – coexist with my doggie guests. All good there. I would be available any time from Sunday-Thursday for doggie day care or drop in visits... and available from Sun to Wed for overnight stays. I will love and protect your pet like they are my own. If I were to visit your/their home, I would enter and provide excellent service with respect to you and your pets!

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.

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

***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.

I seriously cannot recommend (or thank) Alyssa enough! Not only was she incredibly responsive and helpful… she left everything clean (the litter was entirely cleaned which she did NOT need to do🥹), but she gave so much love to the kitties they seemed so happy and unbothered that we were even away! She even left us a GORGEOUS drawing of the cats and I will cherish it forever- I seriously am so grateful and so very lucky that our paths crossed- THANK YOU ALYSSA! 💕

We are so happy to have found Nicole! She is the first sitter we ever used to come to our home instead of bringing our pup Ripley somewhere for sleepovers while we were away, which I was initially super anxious about. However, from the meet and greet you can tell how she genuinely loves pets, and our quirky anxious dog warmed up to her immediately. Even our cranky alien cat went right up to her. We just used Nicole for the second time, and Ripley again was so relaxed with her. Lots of cute photos and good communication. We will absolutely book her again and again!

Samantha was an amazing caregiver to our older, very shy cat, Rambo! Rambo actually came out of hiding when Samantha first visited! Rambo continued to come out for pets every time Samantha dropped by. We loved seeing the pics! Rambo looked so happy & comfortable. We were sure she was going to miss Samantha when we returned! Rambo is a sloppy litter box user, and Samantha did a great job tidying up after her. Our trip was extra enjoyable knowing that Rambo was being looked after by someone as caring and responsible as Samantha.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Green Island on Rover is $17.12 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,175 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.
