“Roy and MeLessa are the best! They came in the evening and in the morning to feed our kitten that has wobbly cat syndrome and needs extra help eating. They did an amazing job! Sent pictures and updates about both of our cats. So happy we found them!!”
“Emily is the greatest! Couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my sweet Otis… She was on time, prompt, paid attention to detail and most importantly paid extra special attention to Otis. I highly recommend her for any of your out-of-town needs and for watching your pup at any time… She’s the best!”
About: Coley here ive had many breeds of rescue pups over the years some with special needs. Im passionate about caring for all types of pups. I have my own home based small biz so I can work that around whatever you need because my schedule is very flexible and open. I have a fenced yard. Doggy doors. Trees, grass and shade, I can crate your dog if you need that. We have 3 friendly pups so yours wont get bored. We have a private dog park in our development which is walking distance that your pup may enjoy with us.
About: I am new to this site, but have used Wag! for quite some. I have been taking care of dogs since I was a young child and since then have taken care of almost every type of domestic animal. Whether you need your dog or cat walked, sat for, or boarded I can help. There's no dog too stubborn or cat too mean. I'm comfortable with all animals. Anything can be worked out... if there are instructions I need to follow, information I need to learn, or skills I need to master to make you feel safe, leaving your loved one with me I am willing. I am perfectly comfortable administering pets medication, tending to elderly pets, or even bottle-feeding any type of fur baby. When it comes to boarding, I have two live-in very friendly doodles, I trust them implicitly but they can be easily be kept (via large centrally located gate) separate from your fur baby if necessary or you feel more comfortable that way. I have a large fenced in backyard. My property is covered in cameras, both inside and out. I also have a GPS tracked fence and can have your pup wear a gps collar while staying here if you’d like for extra security. I would also be happy to pick-up and drop-off your pet to help make your travel plans more convenient and less stressful for you. I am not a giant stickler for start and stop times. No one can plan for traffic or a delayed flight. Travel is stressful enough so there should be no need to worry about that, everything can be worked out. Feel free to book me for sitting services if you need help whelping when your dog is in labor I am very familiar and could be a great help. I’m excited to meet and spend time with your fur baby family member 😁😁😁 I work from home, so I’m available for as many pet walks as walks as necessary, pet sitting and boarding. If I board your pet they will almost never if not actually never be left alone. I live in a house in a safe friendly neighborhood. I have a large fenced in yard that is reinforced with industrial chicken wire to prevent any smaller pups from escaping. Also, any dog that is to stay at my house can (upon owner request and or approval) be fitted with a GPS tracker for their stay here so they can be monitored by me at all times, even when just in the backyard. My property is covered outside and in with cameras and I have a security system. I have every size of cage and playpen if you’d like your pet to be kennel at night or if I have to run out for a minute. I also have a large gate in the main hallway of my house, which can be used to keep your pet separate from my two friendly doodles if that makes you more comfortable.
About: My entire life I’ve grown up with animals all over the house. My parents always had at least 6 pets that I would help love and care for. When I moved out, I took my little kitty with me and left behind 7 more pets. I’ve pet-sit for friends and neighbors, and I’ve walked dogs until they were finally ready to go home. I love all animals and will treat your pets with the same love and care as my own. I’m currently going to be working short night shifts so I will have plenty of time to walk and care for your pets. My mornings are free for early walks and I have no problem stopping by late if needed! I have a 2 bedroom which is lots of space for my 6 pound kitten to play around. I spoil her with toys and play with her all day. I have a little backyard which she’s too scared to use but it would be perfect for other animals to play. I also have a very walkable neighborhood with lots of friendly animals that go on walks as well!
About: I’ve had animals from Guinea pigs,rodents, ferrets, cats, dogs,birds, etc. I’ve also volunteered at farms learning the proper care routines for several animals. I am planning to return back to school shortly for wildlife conservation while my first career path was a veterinarian. Ive always had a passion and genuine love for animals and making sure they’re properly cared for and I would love to be able to do that for the rest of my life hopefully soon!! I appreciate any care instructions or special tips for your loved ones. Otherwise I will do my best to make sure I’m properly educated on how to care for your family members and making sure they’re as comfortable and loved as can be :) I’m a non smoker pet free household. I’m currently working a classic 9-5. I have evenings open to care for your loved ones. I am also free on Sunday and Monday. I live in an apartment with a fenced dog park. I have no animals at home and do not smoke. I just love animals and wanna be able to bring the best care to them per your needs and your furry family.

“Haley was amazing with Frankie. Haley was prompt in her arrival and communicated before during and after our visit to help us feel comfortable with her as our new dog sitter. Frankie absolutely loves her and ignored us when she arrived. He settled in right next to her on the sofa and they were fast Friends for a few hours.”
About: I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats my entire life and currently care for three cats and a dog of my own, so I understand different personalities, routines, and needs. As a cat person, I’m especially patient and attentive with shy or independent pets, and I genuinely enjoy spending time walking dogs and keeping them active and happy My schedule changes a bit due to working two part-time jobs, but I’m communicative, reliable, and always happy to make time for furry friends whenever I can I provide house sitting, and dog walking with a flexible schedule.

About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 14 years, my own included. He lived with many other dogs throughout his life, and I become very close with all the pets that I've taken care of over the years. I am an animal lover of all kinds, even the ones that can be a little more challenging. My dog was my best friend and he prepared me to handle every possible situation a dog owner could go through. I treat all animals with the love and care as if they were my own. From babies to seniors, I am comfortable with them all! I typically work Tuesday through Friday from 3-9. I am open in the mornings and early afternoons during the weekdays to take the dogs for a walk, feed them and play before going to work. Also letting them out when I get home at night. I also live with my best friend who gets home around 5pm so your pet will rarely be alone. I have a spacious house at the end of a very quiet cul-de-sac. Cars rarely drive by and there aren't many dogs in my neighborhood, so I don't run into other dogs when I would take mine for a walk at different points of the day. I am in walking distance to a park with an open field that I would take my dog to to walk around. I have a yard as well. It is only myself and my roommate that live here, but I have lots of dog toys and space to make them feel at home.

I live in a pet loving apartment with two cats I’m very used to a busy, animal filled environment! My pets are a huge part of my life, and caring for them daily has given me a lot of experience with different personalities, routines, and needs!!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pine Island
5/5 Stars – Absolutely Exceptional Care! We could not have asked for a better pet sitter than Jo-Anne! She took care of our dog, Jasper, for 10 days and completely exceeded our expectations in every single way. The communication was phenomenal, providing detailed updates and plenty of pictures that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Jo-Anne truly went above and beyond for Jasper—even working on behavioral training with him (reinforcing the good habits!), buying an extra vegetable supplement to add to his meals, and bathing him twice during the stay so we came home to a clean, happy dog. Beyond the incredible pet care, she was a dream house sitter. Jo-Anne took care of our plants, did laundry, and brought in the mail, leaving everything in perfect order. We especially appreciated how thoughtful she was on our travel day; she wanted to make sure our flight was arriving on time before she left the house. She is professional, responsible, and genuinely caring. We will absolutely be rebooking with Jo-Anne and cannot recommend her highly enough!
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!
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.
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 of House Sitting in Pine Island is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $110 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 396 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pine Island. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
