Cheryl is so awesome and accommodating. My needy fur babies are very annoying and she handled them with ease as well as some issues that arose in the house. She did a house sitting for us which really made us feel at ease about leaving our babies as well as our home in good hands. I highly recommend her and i will be using her services again.

Bryanna is fantastic! We’ve never felt so relieved in knowing that we have a person we can fully trust and rely on with our pups. We have a senior dog and a puppy. That combo can be a bit overwhelming, but Bryanna was able to handle them effortlessly. We know we will be reaching out to her again in the future!

Sam is amazing! One of my dogs is extremely anxious and Sam took the time to gain her trust, which really put me at ease. She did a few drop ins prior to the house sitting which really helped get the dogs used to her. She took great care of all three dogs and my house while I was on vacation. I will definitely book with her whenever I travel.

About: I can’t remember a time in my life that I haven’t had dogs and cats. I have experience with special needs cats, currently have a tripod and one with asthma. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their animals when the need arises. As for dogs… well, they can’t speak, so the obvious form of communication is belly rubs ;) As the son of a Veterinary I have been exposed to all types of animals and situations my entire life and given the opportunity I am confident I can manage all of your fur baby’s needs! I currently have a flexible schedule which allows me the freedom to work around your needs. Rather it is a daily walk, feeding, park play, or house sitting for date night or a getaway I have you covered. I am currently offering services at your home as to accommodate all of your fur baby’s daily routines and needs whenever the need arises.

About: I've had dogs since I was a little kid. I have always had my own dogs and I have fostered several dogs over the year. I have owned cats just don't have any right now. And I have owned exotic birds and currently own an Amazon parrot. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me with their furry children over several years. I love learning more about the dogs and teaching them tricks. It is an amazing experience to see how they develop. I currently work full time from home, and only have to go into the office every other Wednesday. I have plenty of time for multiple breaks for walks. I have two friendly dogs to keep your pup company. I currently do not have a crate in the house. I am okay with your dog sleeping on the couch or bed.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses and am comfortable with feeding schedules, fresh water, playtime/exercise, cleaning up after pets, and keeping routines consistent while owners are away. What sets me apart is that I’m very attentive, patient, and detail-oriented with care. I understand that every pet has different personalities and needs, so I take time to follow routines closely and make sure they feel comfortable and safe in their own environment. I’m happy to provide overnight companionship, lots of attention, and help keep the home cared for during stays. I have a flexible schedule and especially enjoy overnight and multi-day pet care. I prefer planned bookings so I can make sure I’m fully available to give pets consistent care, attention, and keep them on their normal routine. I prioritize safety, trust, and respect when caring for pets and someone’s home. I follow all instructions carefully and make sure I understand each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special needs before the stay. I keep pets supervised, make sure doors and gates are secure, and maintain a calm and consistent environment so they feel safe and comfortable. I also respect the home I am staying in by keeping it clean, organized, and treated with care, as if it were my own. Communication is important to me, so I am happy to provide updates so owners feel at ease while they are away.

About: Animals have always been attracted to me and felt comfortable with me. I have a few months experience in a vets office and over 1 year now as a private pet sitter. I work part time at a brewery, and have plenty of availability to watch pets. I can come to your house multiple times throughout the day and even stay over night if that’s what you prefer 😊 I usually like to set up a meet & greet and take notes on each pet to have as much information about them before my stay.

About: Hi! My name is Krystal and I’ve had pets my entire life. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. At the moment I offer Drop-In Visits and Dog Walking only. I’m located in Spring Hill, FL and usually require bookings 24–48 hours in advance, though I’m happy to help with last-minute requests if my schedule allows. During visits I make sure pets get the attention and care they’re used to at home. This includes feeding, refreshing water bowls, cleaning cat litter boxes, and spending quality time with them so they don’t feel alone. I also send photos, videos, and detailed notes after every visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m comfortable working with pets that require special care or medication, including diabetic pets that need insulin. For dogs that need to burn energy, I offer walks ranging from about 0.5 to 2.5 miles, usually scheduled early in the morning or later in the evening to avoid the Florida heat. For longer bookings (about 7 days or more), I like to spend extra time during visits whenever possible so pets get additional attention and companionship, always with the owner’s permission. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I work as a graphic designer from my home so I'm able to watch over your pets at all times and even do long term drop in checks on pets, and Pet Walking services. We have an unfenced home, but very big yard. I leave my dogs to roam, as they already know how far they can go. As for other pets, I’d walk them and keep them on leash if we are to spend some outside time

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.

Carter took great care of my boys. They aren’t the easiest (one doesn’t like strangers or other dogs and the other has separation anxiety and both are big and needy) but from the moment he met them, they were buddies. He left the house in clean and kept me informed on how they were doing while I was away. Will definitely book with him again and we are so thankful we found him.

About: Hello! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a deep respect for all living creatures. I live in a spacious home on 1/3 acre with 2 securely fenced back yards ideal for pets to run, play and relax. I’ve been caring for various pets since I was 12. I’ve had fur babies my entire life (mostly Shih Tzus) and helped care for livestock on my grandparents’ farm. Over the years, I’ve taken care of many cats and just about every dog breed—from gentle giants like Saint Bernards to tiny Chihuahuas—and pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’m experienced with both short visits and extended care, having looked after pets anywhere from a single day up to two months, in both my home and my clients’ homes. I believe love, exercise, playtime, and structure are important for a pet’s happiness and well-being. Pet transportation is available as well. Most importantly, I’ll love and care for your pets as if they were my own. My goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and truly at home. I can send daily photo and video updates to keep you connected. Contact me to discuss your pets needs and arrange a meet & greet. I set my own work schedule but my goal is to pet care full time so I’m now currently fully available all days and hours. I have a large and small fenced yards in a quiet safe neighborhood great for walks. Furry friends are welcome on my sectional and in my pool if approved. My home is peaceful and calming. Whether in my home or yours they’re my priority and will be safely and lovingly cared for exactly as you request.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pine Island

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 889 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.

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 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pine Island. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
