“This was our first time using Tuongvi and her partner, Reinaldi and it will not be our last! They stayed at our house with our three dogs for six nights and we couldn’t have been more at ease. Tuongvi is very responsive and sent a ton of picture updates. One of our dogs is newly diabetic and it was our first time leaving him with someone else to handle insulin injections. Another one of our dogs is dog aggressive and they followed all our specific instructions. We came home to a clean house and happy pups and some really cute Polaroid pictures of the dogs. Thank you both so much for taking amazing care again! We can’t wait to have you back in July!”

I am usually always available. I do go to church on sunday morning but besides that I am available! I have a fenced in yard and on dog. He is super friendly. He loves to go for walks and make new friends at the dog park.

“This is our first experience in trusting our pups to someone other than a family member or a friend. We cant be more pleased with our experience and it’s due to Aiden’s wonderful personality and love of animals. Aiden continuously provided us with updates and photos of our pups. He was always very prompt in replying to our messages. Both the pups settled in with him very comfortably and even though it took our 16 year old Ruby a little longer, she came around. We are so pleased with Aiden’s care for our pups, we’ll definitely book with him again and refer him to our friends and family.”

“Kathleen was more than we could have asked for! She really took the time to get to know our anxious puppy and by the time we went on our trip, our dog Honey was comfortable to hang out with her. She is a great communicator and let us know that Honey was doing fine so we could relax and enjoy our vacation. We will definitely be booking her again next time we go out of town!”

“I highly recommend Avery! She took such amazing care of my golden doodle, bunny and cockatiel while we were on a family vacation. She communicated very well and sent photos while we were away. It’s not easy finding someone you trust with all of your pets, but Avery was responsible, attentive, and truly treated them like her own. She loves animals and has lots of experience with them which made me feel confident she would do well. I came home to happy pets and felt completely confident while I was away. I’m so grateful for the love and care she gave them and would absolutely have her watch them again! 🐾❤️”

About: Hi there! I've been taking care of animals my entire life. Over the last several years I've gained some clientele and am looking to expand/build on that. I will love your pets as my own and take care of them as if they were my own. I do work a full time job but I work from home on Mondays & Friday’s. Feel free to reach out to ask questions so I can get you scheduled to help you take care of your pet. I don't currently sit in my own home as my pup is a senior citizen and can be a bit grumpy at times. I do however do overnights in my clients homes to take care of your furbabies.

About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide range of pets with unique needs and personalities. My sister’s Bichon Frise, Stormy, has taught me how to handle grooming, daily walks, and maintaining a loving environment for smaller, high-energy breeds. My boyfriend’s cat, Kilowa, has given me experience in managing independent and playful pets, ensuring he’s well-fed, entertained, and his litter box is always clean. I’ve also cared for his Husky, Silver, who requires plenty of exercise, long walks, and patience for her energetic personality. These experiences have shaped me into a dedicated and adaptable pet caregiver who always prioritizes the well-being of the animals I care for I’m currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to attend your animals needs. I have more time to also be at your care as well. In my home, I provide a clean, secure, and comfortable space tailored to each pet’s needs, including cozy resting areas, and constant supervision. I maintain their daily routines, from feeding schedules to exercise, ensuring they feel at home and stress-free. In clients’ homes, I follow detailed care instructions to replicate the pet’s normal environment. I treat every pet with love and attention as if they were my own.

About: I’ve had many pets starting at such a young age. Everyone in my family has dogs of every breed, size, and age so I feel like I’m equipped to handle most dogs. I’ve always loved cats as well and just recently adopted a cat, I know how to handle them too. As for small animals, I have pet rabbits, hamsters, and chickens. I can handle and care for most small animals. I babysit my family’s animals and friends animals when needed. I also took veterinary classes in high school so I understand what kind of care and attention goes towards everyone’s fur babies! :) Im currently in college and have a part time job early every morning besides Tuesdays and Sundays(I’m a barista). I’m usually free all day after 9am - 11am most days. Caring for my animals is making sure they are happy, content, and to give them love and attention anytime I can get to it. I currently have a senior dog who I have to keep close attention to and open ears to make sure she isn’t struggling to go outside, needs a good back rub, or needs to be fed. My rabbits have a schedule when to eat so I know how to follow instructions on when and what to feed other people’s pets. I’m very patient, understanding, and, fast it comes to some animals being shy/ scared or having extra amounts of energy that’s hard to contain at moments.

About: Welcome to my profile! I'm Trinity, a passionate dog lover with years of experience caring for furry friends of all shapes and sizes. With over 5 years of dog sitting experience, I've had the joy of meeting and caring for countless canine companions. From playful puppies to gentle seniors, I've learned to tailor my care to meet the unique needs of each pup. As an animal enthusiast, I understand the importance of providing a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for your dog. Whether it's a quick 30 minute walk or an extended stay, I'm dedicated to giving your dog the attention and love they deserve. My experience includes administering medication, following special diets, and providing extra TLC for dogs with anxiety or special needs. What sets me apart? I'm not just a dog sitter I'm a dog mom at heart! I believe that every dog deserves to be treated like royalty, and I take pride in building strong bonds with each pup in my care. Your dog's happiness and wellbeing are my top priority, and I promise to provide regular updates and photos so you can stay connected while you're away. Let's get this paw some adventure started! I can't wait to meet your furry friend and give them the love and care they deserve! As a pet sitter, my daily and weekly routine is quite flexible, but here's an overview of how pet care fits into my schedule: *Daily Routine:* - Morning: Check and respond to messages from clients, confirm appointments, and review schedules for the day. - Visits: Spend time with furry friends, following customized care plans, which may include feeding, walking, playtime, medication administration, and lots of love and attention! - Afternoon/Evening: Complete visit reports, update clients on their pet's activities, and share photos (because who doesn't love pet pics?!). - End of Day: Review the next day's schedule, prepare for upcoming visits, and wind down (often with my own furry companion by my side). *Weekly Routine:* - Client Meetings: Schedule meet-and-greets with new clients, discuss their pet's needs, and create personalized care plans. - Pet Care Tasks: Rotate toys, refresh supplies, and perform administrative tasks (like invoicing and bookkeeping). - Ongoing Education: Stay updated on pet care best practices, attend webinars or workshops, and expand my knowledge on animal behavior, health, and wellness. - Self-Care: Make time for activities that help me recharge, like exercise, reading, or spending time with friends and family. *Flexibility:* - Last-minute bookings or schedule changes? No problem! I adapt to ensure seamless care for pets. - Unexpected vet visits or emergencies? I'm prepared to handle situations with compassion and professionalism. By prioritizing organization, communication, and flexibility, I ensure that pet care remains the heart of my daily and weekly routine. *In Client's Home:* 1. *Familiar Environment*: Care for pets in their own home, reducing stress and anxiety. 2. *Customized Care*: Follow clients' detailed care instructions, ensuring consistency and familiarity for their pets. 3. *Home Comforts*: Maintain the pet's regular routine, including feeding times, sleep schedules, and play activities. 4. *Household Management*: Water plants, collect mail, and keep an eye on the home, providing added peace of mind for clients. 5. *Regular Updates*: Send clients photos, videos, and detailed reports, keeping them connected to their pets while away. By providing personalized, loving care in both my own home and clients' homes, I create a sense of security and comfort for pets, allowing them to thrive while their owners are away.

About: I’ve been caring for animals of all kinds since I was 9 years old. Over the years, I’ve helped care for the pets of family, neighbors, and friends, along with our own family dogs and cats. I’ve also lived with a roommate who fostered multiple animals, and I was happy to help care for dogs, cats, and even a few snakes along the way. I currently share my home with a cat of my own, Zoey, who I’ve been lucky enough to love for the past 11 years. I also roommate with my little sister, who has a dog named Teddy. He has been with her since she was 17 and I was 18, and I help care for him as if he were my own—because honestly, he is my baby too. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing, and giving plenty of attention (and affection) to every pet in my care. I’m deeply grateful for all of these moments. While I’m there to care for your fur babies, they always return the favor by blessing me with their presence, their personalities, and those moments that make each visit special. My schedule is pretty much open. I do have a part time job and go to school, but my schedule is mostly open because my job and school schedule are very flexible, so I'll have plenty of time to help and enjoy the company of your awesome dogs and cats or others. I don't mind also taking care of other animals. They need love too. I will definitely ask my clients if there are any specific needs that need to be met for each of your fur babies and respect the wishes of my pets' parents as well. I will be catering and attentive to their needs. I will be active and playful but also give them their space when they need it. Overall, I aim to make sure your pet is (Are) comfortable and you, as the parent, as well.

About: I grew up in a rural area surrounded by all kinds of animals. Because of that, I’m comfortable with all personalities, temperaments, and care needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I treat every animal like my own—with patience, attention, and genuine love. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work outside the home, but I work close by where coming home at lunchtime to check on your furry friend it’s not a problem. I have a fenced in yard and I am very careful to keep the doors closed. I am responsible and aware of things going on around me.

About: I have been taking care of cats all my life and for the past ten years I've been taking care of dogs as well. I have experience working with animals that aren't my own as well as overnight stays. I am currently not in work, but I typically wake up around 7 am and start my day by feeding my animals and taking my dog for a walk. Then throughout the day I like to spend time with my animals and ensure they get plenty of attention. I have a fenced yard and a super sweet golden retriever who loves to play with all sized animals. He's very gentle and playful and gets along great with other animals. I have a pool in my backyard as well so if your dogs love to swim I can gladly accommodate that.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pine Island

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 1,242 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:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
