“Cheryl does such a great job for our two goldendoodles. She’s very patient and walks them a lot. She is an awesome dog sitter and we feel so comfortable leaving our dogs with her.”
“We are repeat customers of Samantha’s. We couldn’t be happier, she takes great care of our animals and our home while we’re away. Having her pet sit gives us peace of mind while we’re away because we know our animals are getting everything they need plus love and attention!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing! She was so great with our dogs and they loved hanging out with her! She was responsive and funny! We will definitely use her again!”
“The zoo was well taken care of and loved. Thank you so much for cuddling with the old pup and playing with 3 cats! I never felt anxious about our pets or house while we were gone, thank you so much.”
“Kelli was fantastic. Easy to work with, great communication, SO sweet and clearly a true animal person. My three dogs LOVE her and I'm so happy to have found someone trustworthy and so kind to care for them and my home while I travel. Highly recommend!!!”
“Cecilia has a great personality! My dogs took to her right away. We felt very confident leaving our fur babies with her. She showed us several pictures when we got home and it looked like everyone had a lot of fun. We'll certainly be reaching out to her when we need a sitter again. We highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, and I’ve always been very hands-on with the pet care at home. I am a trusted pet babysitter amongst my family. I value the pet’s mental health and happiness especially while their owner is away. I am a part-time college student, and I work at a catering company with a highly flexible schedule, so I can work around your needs. I try to encourage a stress free environment by sticking to your pet’s normal routine while you’re away, making sure that they’re happy and healthy, as they would be under your own care.
“Alexis immediately bonded with our two pets during the 1st meet-and-greet. She is a confident, focused individual and handled pet-sitting our dogs on two different dates with minimal instructions. Needless to say we rewarded her extra on both days showing our gratitude. Best Regards-GG ✌️”
“Our first experience with Amanda and we feel like we hit the jackpot! She was always quick to respond and and kept us updated on everything while we were out of town. Our two girls immediately loved her from the first meet and greet, so we knew she would fit right in with our girls and their needs! We’ve already rebooked with her and look forward to any other trips we consider taking knowing we now have an awesome Rover!!!”
About: I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and personalities, from energetic dogs to various cat personalities. Growing up with a range of animals, including dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, ducks, and bunnies, I developed a deep understanding of their needs. My experience includes walking, feeding, and providing lots of love and attention. I’m reliable, flexible, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a calm companion or an active playmate, I’m here to ensure they feel safe and happy while you're away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule as I currently don't have a job. My bouquet business allows me flexibility, giving me ample time to care for pets daily. I can establish routines for feeding, walking, and playing, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve while I work on my floral creations. This balance keeps me engaged and provides a fulfilling routine. In my clients' homes, I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment for their pets. I always take the time to check for any hazards and follow their specific routines and preferences closely. I approach each pet with patience and kindness, helping them feel relaxed. I also like to keep pet owners updated with messages and photos, so they know their pets are happy and well-cared for. Building that trust is really important to me!
About: My family is grateful to still care for our 17 year old senior dog, Ace. We have had Ace since he was 8 months old. I have the energy to handle a puppy and the patience to handle a senior dog. I also have my own cat, Sophia. I truly understand the temperaments of both animals. I’ve been trusted to care for my own pets as well as my friends. I am available throughout the week as I am dedicated to Rover full time. I have my own vehicle so that makes traveling seamless. I am available from 10am-10pm most days. I understand that each pet will have their own specific way to be cared for. A pet is absolutely individualistic and there is no one way to care for everyone’s pet. Therefore, I will follow the directions as explained in order to keep the fur baby’s routine.
“She was stellar. Made us feel completely comfortable and confident straight from the initial visit. She kept us updated the whole time and the boys loved her. You can always spot a fellow dog person <3”
“Kristie is the BEST! She watched our pup Lolo for us for our whole wedding day and we didn’t have to worry about him at all, just enjoyed our day to the max. Cannot say enough how Kristie went the extra mile for us and made our day so much more amazing for being so kind, accommodating and lovely. Thanks so much Kristie!!”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals so friends and family have relied on me over the years. Also, I have raised four children and many pets. I create my own schedule so reach out and we can make a time that works for you. I’m flexible. Holidays included as well as Christmas Native to the area. I have experience with many different types of animals over the years and I have four grown children and a grandchild so I have seen a lot. I’m happy to help so reach out.
About: What sets me apart from a lot of others. is my years of working hands on with hundreds of dogs in my career as a dog professional. I also got to spend 11 years, loving and caring for 2 of the sweetest rescues anyone could have ever been blessed to have in their lives. My home sits empty now and is set up to accommodate your beloved furry friends. The majority of my experience is with dogs. I have been around cats but have never owned one. Working with and being around mans best friend has always been a rewarding passion of mine. Now that my 2 best friends have passed over the Rainbow bridge, I would like to share my home with some new furry friends for the part time. Although I'm not ready for another dog of my own, my heart is open to being a part time care taker of your best friend or friends. Over nights your dog will have run of the house and be welcomed and well looked after. I also have an Amazon "Echo Show" that is great for video drop in's to say hello to your friend. I'm still currently working as a professional pet groomer but I work from home outside in my old mobile grooming unit. I'm home all day on work days and available to give potty breaks. I do work 1 part time job away from home 1 day a week for 5 to 6 hours but I'm only 1 mile from home. Any other thing you would like to know, please ask. Thanks Maci I live alone in an older house, i dont have a back yard to offer but im always available for walking. In my years of working with dogs, their safety and security have been at the top of my priority list. After all, you're hiring me for this very thing, to care, look after and keep safe your best friends or friend. Your dog or dogs, if staying with me would be the only dogs with me. I would not feel comfortable having more than one pack at a time. While I'm really good with dogs, I'm no dog whisper.
“Our dogs were completely relaxed and showed no signs of anxiety when we returned home after 12 days away! I knew finding a sitter to stay in our home over Christmas might be challenging, but we were lucky to connect with Tonya. During our first meeting, I could tell she was relaxed, kind, and patient - just what our high strung dogs needed. Tonya even offered flexibility in case we had any travel delays, which was much appreciated. Our dogs were happy and so were we! We’d absolutely recommend Tonya and would love to have her back for future dog/house-sitting needs!”
“Sharibel was awesome with Maggie! She treated her like was her own dog. I felt so relieved leaving my dog with her. I will definitely have her back to watch Maggie. I highly recommend her! You won’t be disappointed.”
About: I used to work at an animal hospital. And I used to work out a dog at daycare. I’m trying to start my own animal sitting job. I’m trying to save up the money to go back to school to be a vet veterinarian technician to work in the animal hospital again. The pet car fit into my daily and weekly routine is because I take care of four dogs at home. I love working with animals and I want to have my own doggy daycare one day. How I care for pets in my home is feeding them, playing with them, taking them out walking them. I love taking care of animals.
About: I’ve had a variety of dog care and sit experience throughout the years. I’ve taken care of puppies, and I have taken care of older dogs that require medication and extra attention. I currently work remotely, so I am flexible with pet care needs. There will be situations where I need to run errands or take care of things outside of the home but as of right now I am flexible and able to meet the pet and parents needs. I will be providing care in the clients home. I only offer home sits at this time. I am happy to meet with the pet parent prior to the sit, pending availability in person versus FaceTime, to go over needs specifications of routine and review care needs prior to the sit.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for most of my life, and animals have always been a huge part of my home. I currently live with five cats and a dog, so I’m very comfortable with multi-pet households and different personalities. Whether your pet loves playtime, attention, or simply having someone nearby for company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and wide availability, including same-day appointments when I’m not already booked. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and schedule. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, and any special needs. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 887 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pine 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 Pine 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 Pine 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 Pine 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
