About: Hey I'm Jenie, a college student with experience babysitting and caring for families. I'm reliable, respectful, and love helping out whenever I can. Whether it's keeping your pets company, sticking to their routine, or taking care of your home, I'll make sure everything is well cared for while you're away. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets! I'm currently a college student and work part-time Wednesday through Saturday from 4 PM to 9 PM. Outside of those hours, I have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care, walks, feedings, drop in visits, and overnight stays. I'll always make sure your pets receive the attention and care they need while you're away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and home. I always follow care instructions closely, keep pets on their normal routine, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I'm respectful of other people's homes, reliable with communication, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind.
“Sarah was phenomenal with our 2 dogs. She was attentive to their needs and communicated to me on a regular basis. She took initiative in grooming and exercise needs. I highly recommend Sarah!”
“Malia has been fantastic with our nervous shepherd, Selkie. I am very cautious about who I leave her with and Malia handled her fabulously, made sure she had the best time and keep us updated with photos the whole time we were away. It was super reassuring and so happy she could take care of her both times we have been away. Highly recommend and will 100% be calling upon her to pet sit for us in the future!”
“Aunya was fantastic. She made sure all four dogs were well taken care and even cleaned up as she left the house. She was very responsive and provided check-ins. I would definitely let her take care of my wild pack any time!”
“I am so happy that Ashley came to take care of our spoiled little babies. My dog Jack has the worst separation anxiety of any animal that I’ve ever known. He can’t be left alone, he will stress out so much, making himself sick and tearing up and house. Once he even chewed up the brass door knob. Ashley was absolutely wonderful with him, she was so patient and attentive to him. I thought our new Siamese kitten was going to worry her most but he was just playful and happy. All 3 of my animals were so well taken care of, if you need a pet sitter, I highly recommend Ashley. I will use her again and I will recommend her to everyone that I know 🥰”
“Christina was so wonderful! She stayed in our home for a full week and took great care of our dog. She reached out with pictures and updates and left our house exactly how she found it if not cleaner! We really appreciate it”
“We are so happy that we found Wendi! She took amazing care of our pups while we were out of town; we felt totally comfortable because we knew they were in good hands. Wendi sent photos and videos in addition to messages about how our dogs were doing. She even fed one of our (anxious) pups by hand AND fixed rice and veggies for him when he wasn’t eating enough. Our whole family loves her and we will for sure book her again!”

You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Madison was great! All of my animals seemed happy and well taken care of when I got home and my house looked just like how I left it! All the cute photo updates were awesome to receive!”
“Jeni did a great job watching my little yorkie in my home. She asked all the right questions during our meet and greet to ensure she understood Clodagh’s particulars. She also kept me updated throughout the weekend on how Clodagh was doing. Both Clodagh and my home were in great condition when I got back.”
“Savannah is absolutely fantastic! My 4 month old Schnauzer “Cosmosis” is an extrovert and loves everyone, but he ABSOLUTELY adored Savannah. She is a genuine good soul - and he LOVED her to pieces. I have never seen him act that way so quickly before. We will absolutely use her again. Very trustworthy.”
About: An active family who LOVES pets as our own! We can give all the lovins, walks and kisses round the clock! Whether your pup just wants to chill or PLAY we can accommodate! As a stay at home, homeschooling momma I am available just about ANY time or day! We do travel sometimes and will always give ample notice! I have a fenced in yard with a friendly dog myself. My kids are respectful around animals and honestly too busy running around to notice 🤣 we live in a neighborhood with a field right across the street to play or hang in! 💗
“Only good things to say about Josue. We normally have friends or family watch our dog, Maddie, so we were a little apprehensive using a pet sitting service. But once Maddie met him we knew everything would be fine. She gave him boyfriend eyes the whole time. While we were away Josue was easy to get in touch with, he was reliable, took out the trash, walked her on schedule, kept the house clean. So happy we found him, I think our days of asking favors from friends are over!”

“Daisy was a pleasure; she was dependable and took good care of our puppies. It was amazing how the puppies took to her and her daughter when she first arrived. The dogs certainly know who they trusted. We are very happy and would recommend Daisy. We will certainly use her again. Thank you Daisy, we really appreciate you! .”
“Meghan was amazing. She took on sitting Smoke very last minute and did not disappoint. Smoke is special needs pit bull and needs special person to care for him in my absence. I did not have to worry about his care while I was out of state! She sent a lot of pics and videos. Meghan exceeded expectations and I will use her again if she is available.”
About: I have cared for friend's and family pets for the past 12 years, including my own. I love all dogs and care for all dogs as if they were my own. I work 6-4:30 Monday thru Thursday. I am off all weekends and Fridays and can easily make it around town to wherever you live to care for your pet. I will meet your pet where they are and keep up with any training or care you normally provide to ensure there is a seamless transition for when you return.
About: I have had dogs since I was a teen and absolutely love them. I have had German shepherds, a Labrador retriever, and currently we have an AWESOME, loving Cane Corso. We are an active family, whether it be playing tag or taking a walk in our neighborhood we love it. I will be available mornings until 7 a.m. evenings beginning at 4 p.m. and weekends at anytime. My husband calls me the dog whisperer when it comes to our Corso, I call it love and discipline :). Pets will feel at peace in my care. I have left my dog places only to return and feel guilty that I left her because of the sadness in her eyes. I would like to help you as well as your pet feel comfortable and enjoy the time away that you need.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hobbs Island
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hobbs Island on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 377 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hobbs Island. 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 Hobbs 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 Hobbs 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.
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 Hobbs 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 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.

- 95% 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.
