“My dogs loved Jenelle and so did we! We could tell from the interactions that they were in very capable and loving hands. Throughout the stay, Jenelle sent numerous photos (and texts) of her playing,exercising and cuddling with both Ivy and Harley We left detailed instructions for the care of our house and pets which she followed to our greatest satisfaction. Our house was spotless when we returned and both dogs were happy and content We have finally met a very responsible and affectionate young lady that we can entrust with the care of our home and pets to. We plan on hiring Jenelle in the future and highly recommend her services. When it comes to trusting the care of both home and pets to someone and having peace of mind in doing so, we have been truly blessed with Jenelle. 🙂”

About: Hi, My name is Matt. I’m a 24 year old graphic designer that has been raised with pets my entire life. From small to large, I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes, with attitudes ranging from shy and timid, to high-energy and commanding. I’m comfortable with all types and know how to deal with any and all personalities! A true dog lover in every way. Since I primarily work off my phone/laptop I have a mostly open availability schedule giving me plenty of time to give your cherished pet the proper amount of attention and care they require. Whether you have a planned schedule for assistance with your pet or have a last minute request - I’m there! I work remotely so have plenty of time to tend to pet's daily needs whether that be going on walks, feeding or drop in visits. I have a friendly chihuahua whom can keep your pet company. I have a spacious backyard as well as nice quiet neighborhood which provides a perfect environment to go on long walks.
About: I have grown up around animals my whole life. Both dogs and cats. I am also very well versed in training dogs. Training my dog is one of the best parts of my day. I spend a good amount of time training my dog. Teaching my dog new things is one of the best parts of my day. I love working with my dog. I follow the instructions that are given to me. I am a rule follower and what steps are given to me are the ones I take.
About: Every animal provides unconditional love; no matter what, they deserve that same love in return. Animals love just a little attention and a lot of affection, similar to humans. They just want to know you will care for them and protect them. Who is really taking care of whom? Animals provide such love that it is undeniable. They also need someone who will pay attention to their every move. Safety is important. My animals are my family, my babies, that just happen to be covered in fur. I love teaching them and learning from them as well. My passion is teaching them new tricks! I love for them to know that they are truly cared for and adored. I enjoy animals more than most people in this world. I am currently a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. I have a flexible daily and weekly schedule. I love to incorporate walks, playtime, training, grooming, and cuddles into our daily routine. I am home throughout the day so I can provide consistent attention, companionship, and care. I care for pets in my clients' homes by following their usual routines and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow all feeding instructions, provide fresh water, take the dogs on walks, give them plenty of playtime and affection, and keep their spaces clean. I also amke sure to follow any special instructions regarding medications, behaviors, or other needs.

I will work with any of your pets routines as requested. I will also provide extra hugs and cuddles to make them feel extra special.
About: All I’ve ever known is having compassion and love for animals! I grew up with all kinds of fur babies including reptiles, critters, cats and my three legged dog Tootie. They are family, so I get how much reassurance means knowing your pet can be checked on during chaotic or busy lives! I’m thankful to have the opportunity to help care for others furry friends!

I’m open to variety! Whether that’s cuddling the fur babies, being outside to enjoy the sun and fresh air or needing a quick walk and back to the crate!
About: I love dogs and love to be active. I have many years of experience taking care of dogs. I love caring for them like mine! I currently am not working so all my attention will be taking care of you pup! I don’t think pets should be left alone for long periods of time. My priority is spending as much time with them! I have another dog and her name is cookie! We love going on walks and getting out of the house as much as we can. Your dog will not be bored here!
About: My own Rottweiler girl has been my shadow for 3 years, and between her and my family’s dogs, I’ve spent countless hours learning what makes each pup feel comfortable and loved. I genuinely care about the animals I’m around, whether that’s a laid-back senior dog or a high-energy puppy, I pay attention to their personality and adjust to what they need. Pets deserve someone who treats them like family, and that’s exactly how I show up for them. I work a full-time job during the week, so I'm available for walks and visits in the mornings before 9, in the evenings after 5, and on weekends. I'm also a great fit for overnight stays or weekend care while you're away. I take scheduling seriously, so when I commit to a time, you can count on me to be there consistently. My home has a fully fenced yard, so there’s plenty of safe space for dogs to run and play. There are also other friendly dogs in the house, so your pup will have company and won’t be alone. Everyone here is comfortable and experienced around dogs of all sizes and personalities.
“Kaylee was amazing! It was our first time hiring a dog sitter and Kaylee exceeded our expectations. She follows our daily schedule perfectly, very attentive to all 3 of our animals, played with our dogs/kitten every day, always made sure they had fresh water & food, took our dogs on walks often, gave them treats and sent us updates every day! She was easy to get a hold of and communicates very well which was important to us! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our fur babies. She also sent the cutest photos of our animals every day! We will definitely be hiring her for any future trips we have & I recommend you do too! Thank you so much Kaylee, we are so grateful to have found a sitter like you! She will love and care for all your animals the way you do😊”

About: I’ve always had a huge love for dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them! Since I was a kid I grew up loving animals and having my own. Over the past 10 years, I’ve had experience dog walking and house sitting for a wide variety of breeds, including Huskies, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Border Collies, Chihuahuas, and many more! From energetic pups who love long walks and playtime to laid back dogs who just want some love and companionship, I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. Animals truly have a special place in my heart, and I treat every dog I care for with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. ❤️🐾 I have a flexible schedule and am open to whatever needs your pet has. I am currently taking a break from my career as a therapist, which allows me to dedicate my time and attention to caring for animals! I am available throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, some playtime, or extra companionship, I’m happy to accommodate their routine.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pine Island Center
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 915 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pine Island Center. 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 Center 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 Center 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 Center 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.
