“I cannot begin to say enough about Debra. From the second that our boy Rhody met her, he was completely attached to her. She told me that she loves senior dogs, but you can just tell she truly loves ALL creatures, young and old, big and small. I cannot stand leaving Rhody, but I was completely comfortable leaving our baby in her care. She assured us that he would be well taken care of, and loved on and he definitely was. He takes many different vitamins & medications and she followed my every neurotic note to a T, lol. She provided pictures and sent texts and answered calls, and made us feel completely comfortable. I cannot express the gratitude I have, she’s an amazing human being & lover of animals. We feel so very blessed to have found her.”
“Lia did a great job with our three big dogs. She was timely on the day we had the meet and greet. My dogs loved her. She was also right on time the day we left for our trip. She took great care of our pets and sent us lots of pics and updates. We had some major travel delays on our return date. Lia was completely understanding about our very late return.”
“Elizabeth was fantastic!!! She kept us up to date with our girls and gave them extra special care while we were away! They got treated to some pup cups, car rides and park days! We also had an issue with our AC during her visit and she helped coordinate the repair men since we were out of the country! She is quick to respond and I felt so good knowing my girls were in good hands! Highly recommend and will definitely be rebooking for our next vacation!! Thank you! :)”
“Angelina was great. She took good care of our dog as well as our house. Our flight was delayed overnight so she changed her plans and returned last minute. We’ll call on her again as needed.”
“Braeden did a wonderful job watching our two dogs, bird, and fish. Two of my pets needed medication twice a day, and she took great care of their needs. I felt very comfortable leaving them with her and would recommend her services. She also took good care of our home while we were away and provided companionship for our pets while staying in our home. Thank you Braeden!”
About: I have taken care of and been around dogs of every kind since I was a kid. I was also a part of Molly's Militia dog fostering group in Augusta, GA for 5 years. I have experience working with dogs with severe arthritis, neurological issues & also cancer. I currently have a 9 year old Boxer/Hound/Staffordshire mix named Bruce who's a goofball & keeps me on my toes! I offer nail trims, baths & ear cleanings as well. 😊 I'm a #SticklerDisease warrior 💚💜 #ConnectiveTissueDisease My schedule is currently wide open and I have full availability. I am ready and able to devote majority of my time to your pets. I have a fenced in yard, and I also have a 9 year old male neutered Boxer/Hound mix who loves other dogs and enjoys having company.
“Charles was kind, responsive, and took amazing care of our dogs. He checked in with us daily and sent photos. Our dogs looked happy and relaxed upon our return. Thank you for taking such good care of our babies!”
About: Growing up in a household full of pets built my lifelong love and respect for animals. I currently have three family dogs who are show-trained, giving me extensive hands-on experience with animal communication, high-level training principles and most importantly safety. I am also a dedicated cat lover—having raised and cared for my own beloved cat for a decade, I understand the subtle body language and specialized care that felines need. As a full-time online college student, my schedule offers exceptional flexibility during the week for drop-ins, walks, and extended care. I work a part-time job on the weekends, which is why my weekend availability appears off on my calendar, but I am always happy to work with your schedule if requested in advance! Whether your pet needs active exercise, energetic play, or calm company, I bring genuine love, responsibility, and undivided attention to every visit. As a full-time online college student, my weekdays are completely open and flexible, allowing me to easily fit drop-ins, walks, and pet care into my daily routine. While I work a part-time job on weekends—which is why my calendar shows weekends off—I am always open to working with your schedule if arranged in advance! Safety, security, and open communication are my top priorities. Growing up with show dogs and caring for my own pets, I understand how to create a structured, calm, and reassuring environment. In your home, I stick closely to your pet's established daily routine, feed on schedule, ensure secure entry/exit, and provide regular photos and updates so you always have total peace of mind.
About: I’m currently a pet mom of 2 awesome pups and also have multiple grand pups and cats! I grew up on a farm raising every kind of animal imaginable and have continued my love for all animals throughout my adult life💕 I absolutely love all animals (probably more than humans😜) and will take care of your babies like they are my own! I am self-employed and work from home so my schedule is super flexible. I can stay at your home for overnights or simply come visit your babies every couple of hours for walks, feeding and playtime. Depending on your pet (dog only), I can also bring them to my home for playtime with my pups. I am super attentive (maybe too attentive!) and very cautious when dealing with any animal. I understand they are your babies and safety is number one! If we visit my home, my dogs are super friendly sandbar dogs and I have a fenced yard for everyone to play.
“Pawsitively Fantastic Dog Sitting Experience! My first time having Jennifer care for our 3 large dogs and house sit, and I cannot express how grateful I am for the outstanding care my dogs received. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Jen exuded professionalism and genuine love for dogs from the moment we met. Her warm and caring demeanor immediately put all my dogs and me at ease, making it clear that they would be in good hands. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, from initial arrangements to daily updates on my dog's well-being. One aspect that truly stood out was the daily updates and photos provided by Jen. These thoughtful messages not only reassured me of my dog's happiness but also allowed me to feel connected to their experiences in my absence. Her attention to detail was impressive, she came over twice prior to our trip and took the time to learn about my dog's habits, preferences, and any special needs, taking notes about their care and routine. It was evident that they went above and beyond to make my dog feel comfortable and loved during my absence. It was evident that she treated my dogs as if they were part of her own family. Then our flight got delayed over 8 hours and upon advising Jennifer she immediately offered to stay longer, and come back again to check on them without any hesitation, I couldn't be more thankful and grateful for her going above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone seeking a reliable, caring, and responsible dog sitter. Her passion for animals, combined with their professionalism and attention to detail, makes her a standout choice for pet owners looking for top-notch care. I can confidently say that I will be booking Jen for all my future dog sitting needs, knowing that my boys will be in the best hands possible. Thank you for the fantastic experience!”
About: I have taken care of animals since i was 10 years old. I grew in a home with multiple pets and i continue that tradition today. I am a mom to 2 dogs . I am an RN so I typically work three 9 hour shifts at an oncology office in Estero. My schedule is very flexible in terms of day or night care for your pets. I am an animal lover. 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: 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😊”
“Bailey was amazing with our dog, Murphy! He stayed with him for 4 nights and sent daily pictures and updates. We arrived home and the house was cleaner than we left it! Highly recommend!”
“Carol was wonderful. My Lilboy decided the day before my trip to hurt his back leg . She kept a watchful eye on him and kept him quiet. My pups really liked her. She sent pictures and updates.”

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.

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.
