“Ellen helped us out with our three fur babies at the very last minute. She is wonderful! She gives the highest level of communication and I always knew what was happening while we were gone. Will us her over and over!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I bring years of experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets. My last two dogs lived to the wonderful ages of 15 and 16, giving me invaluable insight into every stage of a pet’s life. Working from home allows me to provide constant attention, whether it’s for walks, potty breaks, or just companionship. I’m also highly organized and reliable, with reminders set to ensure medications or special care needs are never missed. Your pet will be in loving, experienced hands My flexible schedule is perfect for providing attentive and consistent care. Since I work from home, I’m available throughout the day and night for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles. This also means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will always have someone nearby for comfort and supervision. I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine, ensuring they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in safe and caring hands. I prioritize your pet’s well-being by maintaining a secure environment, by keeping doors and gates locked, monitoring them during walks, or ensuring they stick to their normal routine as best as I can. Building trust with both you and your pet is my top priority, so you can rest assured knowing they’ll be treated with the same love and respect as my own.
“Carolina was wonderful and really gave us peace of mind during our trip. She was excellent at communicating and giving updates to us and also left our home clean. She will definitely be rebooked by us in the future!”
“Michaela was amazing! She took such good care of our fur babies. She communicated very well and sent many updates. The house was even cleaner than when I left it. I would recommend Michaela to any friend.”
“We will definitely have Zoe back! She is super sweet and took such good care of our dogs, including our 15 year old that requires a little more attention. She communicated with me super well and took great care of our home”

I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care, attention, playtime, and love while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend plenty of time caring for and playing with your pets. I’m available for pet care on weekends and during my weekday availability. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

About: Hi I’m skye I love dogs especially little dogs and puppies. I’ve been watching dogs for friends not only in my home but house sitting as well so I’m very trust worthy. Every time I see a stray I can’t help rescuing every chance I get. If you want to bring your dogs toys or crate your more then welcome. If you have strict rules for your pet please let me know or leave a list for me. If you want your dog being watched by a real dog lover I’m definitely the one to use. I watch dogs while my daughter is in school, typically after she is in bed so about 9am-9pm. I'm a stay at home mom, so this is a side job for me. I usually like to take your dog out/take care of your pets the way you would and as close to the same schedule as possible.
About: I have seven years of experience caring for puppies and adult dogs, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies to older dogs who prefer a slower pace. I provide patient, attentive, and loving care while making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Since I work part-time, I have plenty of flexibility in my daily schedule to give dogs the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m available most days and can easily fit pet care into my routine. The only exception is Tuesdays and Thursdays, when I’m available before 5 PM. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pet gets consistent, reliable care. When caring for dogs in your home, I focus on keeping them comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and any other care they’re used to. I’ll give them plenty of attention and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through my work as a pet bather and trainee, where I bathed, groomed, and safely handled dogs of different sizes and temperaments. I also have experience caring for my own dog and recently fostered a dog for a week. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, basic routines, and giving pets patience and attention. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding depending on the day and service needed. I’m able to give pets consistent attention, playtime, exercise, feeding, and companionship rather than simply stopping by and leaving. I have experience caring for my own dog and fostering a dog for a week. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully and make sure pets are supervised, secure, and treated with patience and care.
“We had such an amazing experience with Tuongvi and Ray. They stayed at our home for five nights to care for our baby girl Roxy. I truly could not have asked for better sitters. They took amazing care of Roxy and treated my home with so much respect while they were here. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was in such loving and responsible hands. Communication was excellent from start to finish… they sent daily updates and pictures which was very reassuring that Roxy was happy and well cared for. Grateful to have found them, and I am booking them again for two more trips I am taking.”
“Monic is SO amazing and so down to earth! 💜🐶💜🐱She house sat for me and prior to that spoke with me and got to know my pets to figure out a schedule that provided the love and care closest to my furbabies normal every day routine! I was so happy every step of the way and felt very reassured that I was leaving my animals and home in the best hands. It warmed my heart so much to hear how much she enjoyed the company of my furbabies. I would 1000% recommend her if you ever need someone to watch your pets!”
About: I’ve always owned a dog since being a young girl. I have raised puppies, owned ferrets, house watched birds, and have my very own doggo that I consider my own child (she’s got her own closet of clothes and is spoiled beyond belief). Our daily walk includes her breathing in fresh air as I rollerblade and then a round about walk/run to keep her in shape. I am a teacher so I work Monday-Friday but am free weekends. After school I dedicate my time to my fur baby. Lots of love and pets to give after a busy work day. Summer is neigh so I will be home 24/7 to give extra snuggles and the best dog vacation EVER for your pupper (or feline friend). I have a fenced in yard and a baby gate to allow for play in the living room and kitchen area. Doggos are allowed on furniture and plenty of dog beds and toys to play with. Owners are always allowed to bring a crate or any dog items to help your pupper feel more comfortable and acclimated.
“We love having Sandy dogsit for Hank! She is so flexible yet attentive to Hank’s needs. She always takes Hank out for fun doggy adventures, making him feel like the special pup he is. Thank you, Sandy!”
About: Hii my name is Caroline & I am 27 years old :) I have been an animal lover my whole life. I got my first dog, a Westie, when I was 8 years old and helped raise and train him myself. I grew up with him and my Scottie, who were truly my babies and both lived long, happy lives. I’m currently in between pets of my own, which is part of why I’d love the opportunity to care for yours! I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets attention, walks, playtime and company throughout the day. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages and personalities, and I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I’ll treat them like they’re my own🤍 I work full-time from 9–5, but I work from home Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, so I’m home most of the week. I only go into the office on Wednesdays, and even then it’s not every week. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily make time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks and lots of attention throughout the day I have a secure, fenced yard and a doggy door that is perfect for smaller dogs (although I’m still happy to watch big dogs) I’m happy to care for your pet in my home, stay with them in yours, or stop by for walks, feeding, potty breaks and playtime. I know every pet has their own routine and personality, so I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll give them plenty of attention, exercise and love, and I’m also happy to send photos and updates while you’re away🤍 also can do dog walking before/after work if anyone needs just that!
“Sherry was great! Very responsive, asked good questions, and answered promptly. Took good care of our two high-energy pups! Our home was neat and tidy, just like we left it. No problems or concerns. She was great to work with! Will use her again next time we’re headed out of town!”
About: ever since I was 10, i’ve always taken care of dogs, whether it’s my own, or someone else’s. I I have tons of experience with puppies to senior dogs, and I always make sure to have the owner on speed dial whenever there’s possible questions or emergencies towards their pets. I’m an active person, so walking dogs isn’t a problem for me. I’ve always believed that dogs should get the same amount of exercise as us to keep them healthy, promotes better movement, and overall happiness for pets. As of right now, my schedule is completely free in the afternoon, especially on the weekends. The only days that I’m not available are major holidays. when it comes to supervising animals, I always make sure to give them my full attention. I make sure to have them in the room with me, and take the time to make sure to take them out to use the restroom every hour or two.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pine Island
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,245 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 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.
