“Alyssa was a great sitter! You can tell how much she loves animals! Excellent communication and photo updates. The house was spotless when we got home. Would definitely book again! Thank you!”
“Nicole is fabulous! She sent regular updates of our pups with pictures included. She left our house in pristine condition and our dogs seemed very happy and well cared for.”
“Craig is great! He stayed in our home with our 13-year old Sophie. She liked him at the meet and greet, and again for the hand off. Craig was communicative throughout the week, sending updates and pictures. It was obvious to us that he understood Sophie's personality and respected her boundaries. We had peace of mind while away, knowing that she was well-cared for. We will definitely be calling on Craig again. Great experience!”
“Robert took care of my five creatures over the weekend. He was very reliable, staying until we arrived home for a pass off. He did well with our dog’s big energy and our cats need for a calm presence. I’m convinced the house is as clean if not cleaner than when I left. He was responsive with updates and photos. He was able to give my cats their meds despite their best efforts to avoid or dissuade him. I will absolutely be reaching out to him again, the next time we need someone to stay with our animals.”
“Carly was very conscientious of our dog and home. She did a great job. I felt very comfortable leaving her in charge. She took great care of my older aged dog. I would highly recommend her and I intend to use her again.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a pet owner and animal lover, I understand that our pets are family, and they deserve the same love, attention, and care that we would want for our own. I have spent my adult life around animals of all sizes and personalities and am comfortable providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, feeding, and plenty of affection. As a U.S. Navy Veteran, mom, and professional, I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and attentive to details. Whether you're away for a day or an extended trip, you can feel confident knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, and extended care as needed. Whether you're planning a vacation, working long hours, or simply need someone reliable to check in on your pet, I am happy to work with your schedule and your pet's routine. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to provide dependable, loving care while giving pet parents peace of mind. My goal is to be a trusted resource you can count on whenever you need help caring for your furry family members. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet and your home in someone else's care, and I take that responsibility seriously. As a U.S. Navy Veteran, mom, and professional, I pride myself on being dependable, respectful, and attentive to detail. I will care for your pets as if they were my own and treat your home with the same respect and care that I would expect for mine. My goal is to provide peace of mind while you're away, knowing that your pets are safe, loved, and receiving the attention they deserve.
“Jo-Anne is THE BEST! She was very communicative and took time to send thoughtful updates which I really appreciated. In addition to being such a great caregiver to Darla she left my home in immaculate condition which she did not need to do. I look forward to having Jo-Anne back anytime! You will, too.”
“Our Opal had such a great time with Kat. Lots of updates and photos, which we love while we’re away. Great communication and care for our home as well. Will definitely work with Kat again next time we need to be out of town.”
“Paris is an exceptional pet sitter who is caring, playful with our pups, punctual, polite, and trustworthy. We were lucky to find her during our vacation at Myrtle Beach. She even recommended an awesome restaurant!! Don’t hesitate to book with her, she’s the best!”
About: Hi, everyone! My name is Lauren and I'm originally from Baton Rouge; I’ve been in the Myrtle Beach area for about a year and a half. I have a 12-year old senior dog with a history of seizures and thyroid disease. As such, I am intimately aware of what it is like to worry about your dog’s well being and will provide your pets with the same love and care that I would provide to mine. I also now have history administering a couple types of medications, including pills, tablets that must dissolve in liquid, and liquid medication. I of course love dogs who are young, old, or anywhere in between, and enjoy getting out there and exercising with them as it keeps me healthy too! Let me know your pet’s schedule, quirks, and any other needs, and I will happily keep them on schedule while sending lots of pictures! My work schedule is pretty flexible so I can often work your pet’s needs around mine. I am particularly flexible around holiday breaks. Please let me know what you need and I will let you know if I can accommodate that. I am happy to watch your pets in your home. I can do drop ins, walks, or over night stays (tell me what you prefer!) and will make sure to spend a lot of time with your pets!
“We are beyond pleased with Stephanie. She is just so incredibly kind, and we loved all her "pup-dates" with photos and videos. My girls were happy and calm the entire time. Then she goes above and beyond washing our linens and vacuumed up the tumbleweeds our Husky loves to leave around the house. I absolutely recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Ryan was an amazing dog sitter! He was attentive, caring, and kept great communication throughout. My dogs were very comfortable with him, and I felt completely at ease while away. I’d definitely book with him again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Pine Island is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pine Island
Cora did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and two cats while we were away. She communicated with us throughout our trip, responded quickly whenever we reached out, and sent photos and updates so we knew how everyone was doing. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and reliable hands. We would absolutely recommend Cora and would be happy to have her care for our pets again!
Best in the business. André is a Rover all-star. You're not going to find a better option for your pet/house sitting needs. He communicates constantly so you don't have to probe for updates or pictures. He confirms receipt and understanding pf messages and instructions promptly. He asks questions when needed. He leaves your place in the same if not better condition. He genuinely gets to know and love your pet. Our doodles LOVE "Uncle André". Having someone so buttoned up and caring gives us peace of mind while traveling. That's really what you're looking for on Rover. Highly recommend André!
Emily was WONDERFUL with Maddy and Nyjah. She went the extra mile to give them a lot of love and attention and put me at ease. She followed the directions I left and was so communicative with lots of updates. It was so nice to enjoy my trip knowing my babies were well taken care of.
We have two big (amazing) dogs and we can’t have them boarded because one of them gets bad anxiety and gets sick if he’s not home. Anthony was AMAZING with our dogs. Even though sometimes they can be a little intimidating when new people come to the house he came in and was very calm and patient with them and they ended up having so much fun. I am extremely happy with how their time with Anthony went and we will definitely be asking him to dog-sit again soon.
Michelle took care of our two high energy dogs for the past week while we were traveling abroad, and we got home to a clean house and very happy pups!! I would recommend Michelle 100/10 🤩 she makes us feel secure knowing our pups are happy and sends multiple pupdates daily 🐾🥰

FAQs for House Sitting - Pine Island
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pine Island on Rover is $31.48 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 418 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.

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.
