“Our cat, Lego, is very comfortable with Christa as his sitter. She is very good to him and we never worry about him while we are away. Christa sent many pictures of him and kept us up-to-date on his daily eating habits, etc. She reported his daily greetings to us and what a pleasure he was to care for. Everything was neat & tidy when we returned. She has our whole-hearted praise as a responsible and caring pet sitter. In addition, she brought our mail in and took our trash out. Five stars ***** and A+++ for her caring attention to care details and genuine love for our pet!”

I have my car at school and have plenty of time to drive and take my time to care for pets. I currently have my one dog down at school with me and a kitten in my apartment which is fairly small I would feel more comfortable traveling to a clients home which I have done in the past, but arrangements can be made. As for traveling to a clients home I would love to meet the clients and pets first to make sure I can give the right care as the clients request.

About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I started working professionally with dogs at a boarding and training facility when I was 15. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities, including puppies, seniors, fearful, reactive, anxious, aggressive, and special-needs dogs. I’m comfortable giving medications, providing exercise and enrichment, monitoring health and behavior, and keeping dogs safe and comfortable. I’ve also helped with professional dog training by reinforcing good behaviors and following trainer directed behavior plans. I’m heavily involved in my boyfriend’s work as a professional dog behaviorist, where I regularly help with sensitive, reactive, aggressive, and special-needs dogs. I also have two dogs of my own; a Husky and a Chocolate Lab. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when leaving your pets with someone else. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while in my care. My schedule revolves around the dogs! I have flexible, open availability and accept bookings on a first-come, first-served basis. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs whenever possible, and I’ll always do my best to make sure they get the time, attention, and care they deserve. I treat every pet as an individual and adjust my care to their personality, routine, age, and needs. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of attention. I’m especially comfortable working with dogs who may be nervous, reactive, anxious, senior, or have special needs, and I always prioritize safety and communication. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I also respect your home by keeping things clean, organized, and just as I found them.

About: I have grown up around animals- I am often my parents’ pet sitter. I bond with animals (all types); which is why I have a biology degree. I have had a dog since I was three, and my mom currently has a senior dog that I sometimes take care of. She also has a dog with high anxiety that I take care of. I have a lot of friends with cats that ask me to housesit when they are away. Now- I have a lot more experience babysitting humans than pets for money, but I still know how to take care of the non-human babies too :) I am currently in graduate school, making sure the water nearby is safe! However, this eats up my time a lot. Since I am free on weekends, I can spend whole days with your pet; I can make sure they are active and well looked after! On weekdays, I can do the same for the evenings! However, during the day Mon-Fri, I will be extremely busy, so keep that in mind if you book me then :) Depending on what the pet needs, I am willing to take them out on walks, feed them, play with them, and give them lots of love! For senior pets, I can make sure they take medication and any other special service that they might need!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats frequently since middle school, often in house sitting settings as well. I have had dogs throughout my entire life and have many friends with cats and have spent ample time with them. I have dealt with numerous animals with health issues or problems, including older pets and puppies. I understand the value of all the little unique things that are important to an owner to ensure their pet is taken care of, healthy, protected and loved to their standard. My family rescued a puppy this past year, and I took on a large responsibility in training and watching him during his more crucial stages. I have worked with and spent time around multiple rescued animals and understand the value of creating a comfortable environment from them and extra care to detail as they often have triggers from past experiences. I also work with puppies through a local breeder and have learned a lot about puppies and their development. I am a skilled problem solver, know how to communicate well and can recognize when over-communication is important. I manage my time well and feel that people in my life would consider me an overachiever in all things I do. I love animals and miss having them to interact with while at school; therefore, time spent with them is always valuable to me. I am currently a full-time student at Coastal Carolina University and play club volleyball. I have always worked and played a sport full time alongside school, and after transferring here recently, I have found myself with time for a job. With a schedule that makes my routine look different day by day I have found this would be a great fit as I can be flexible in working with clients. My weekends are free and I have lots of longer gaps throughout my day between classes which could be valuable to those who have to leave their pets for long periods of time. I'm from colorado so going home is not an option for me often and widens my availbilty. I have experience working in apartments, houses, ect of all kinds. Often my pet care includes house sitting which I am very comfortable with. I understand the value and basic decency of respect to others homes and possesions. The golden rule is a fundamental aspect of how I operate in my day to day and I would never do something I wouldnt want done to me, my pets or my home. I am a very honest person and would not hesitate to communicate anything that happens in my time with clients pets or their homes. Honesty is the best policy and valuable in maintinging proper care. I am a great problem solver and have lots of experience with handling conflict. I have grown up very indepentdent and am confident people in my life would consider me to be highly reliable and responsible. Positions as team captains, tutoring and as an RA speak to these traits.

About: Hi! I'm Bryla, a local to Myrtle Beach and a Dog loving enthusiast. I enjoy caring for a variety of animals from big to small. Even though I am a serious Dog lover, I also enjoy caring for Cats, Birds, Fish and everything in-between. I have experience with high energy animals, anxious/shy animals and more! I have 2+ years of dog-sitting experience and 3+ years of dog walking experience. I am flexible yet reliable, CPR certified, and punctual. I know from experience that leaving your pet in someone else's care can make you nervous, but rest assured knowing that I will do whatever needed to make you comfortable whether that is daily photos and videos, or daily face-time calls with your fur-baby. I can't wait to meet you and your pet that holds a special place in your heart! I am currently working part time at a hospital early morning and provide home-health care to a family locally in the afternoon. I choose my hours/days so if needed, I can easily move things around to make sure your pets are getting proper care! I always strive to treat other people’s home and pets as if they were my own. I think trust and a safe environment benefit everyone involved.

Shana is amazing. She met both myself and my husband at a community location prior to setting up the meet and greet in-house visit. During every communication she responded timely and professionally. We were somewhat nervous having an "outsider" come into our home and this was the first time we used Rover. The site was recommended to us by several people and because of Shana's other positive references we thought we'd give her a try. We could not be any happier with Shana ❤️ She sent us daily progress reports and took multiple photos of our kitties, their food & water dishes, cleaned litter box, etc. She always let us know when she was en route and always let us know when she was leaving. So responsive. We will not hesitate to reach out again for upcoming trips, and we absolutely recommend Shana to others!

Winter took wonderful care of Rogue, my elderly dog. She was on time for every visit, followed my requests, and was patient and gentle with Rogue on her low energy days. She also sent sweet photos of their belly-rub time, which made my day. Kind, reliable, and trustworthy. I'd happily book her again!

Amy was absolutely wonderful! We are new to the area so I wasn’t sure who would take care of our cat pumkin . From the moment I met Amy I was sure that I made the right choice. She was kind, and reassured me that my cat was going to be well cared for. She updated me with cute pictures and information about Pumkin. She took great care of him, and even made sure to use his favorite toy at playtime. We will definitely be using Amy again.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Pine Island

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pine Island is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $20 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 722 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pine Island. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
