Not only did she keep us in the loop with regular photo updates, but she also went above and beyond by tending to our fish and eels exactly as we instructed. Her dedication and care were truly phenomenal—our pets adored her! Rayna's attention to detail and genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction. We returned to happy, contented pets, thanks to her exceptional service. If you're seeking a trustworthy and devoted pet sitter who treats your pets like family, Rayna is the one. We wholeheartedly recommend her services and can't thank her enough for the peace of mind she provided while we were away.”

I will definitely recommend Charlene for anyone who needs a pet sitter!”

About: I am an optometry student at NSU. I am away from home so having a pet to walk and be around will help with being away from home. I have a family dog I had to leave at home :(( In high school I would walk dogs after school and in college I would dog and cat sit all the time. I am not scared of big or little dogs. My sister had a cat growing up so I also love cats. I go to school from 8a-5p Monday through Friday. So I can be with pets before 8a and after 5p. But I am free all weekend! I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, providing fresh water, administering medications if needed, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of attention and playtime. I also make sure they get appropriate exercise and that their environment stays clean and secure. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep the owner updated on how their pet is doing.
“Anabel was wonderful. We have two big goofy pitbulls and they absolutely adored her. She was great about sending updates and the house was spotless when we got back. I seriously can’t recommend her enough.”
“Nicole was SO SWEET with my two boys who sometimes can be a lot to handle. I really appreciated her stopping in before our vacation to meet them. She sent pictures the entire time and I will 100% be booking with her in the future! Thank you so much for taking care of my babies!”
About: I've been caring for my own dog for the past 14 years, giving me firsthand experience with every stage of a dog's life—from a playful puppy to a senior companion. Over the years, I've handled daily walks, feeding, basic grooming, cleaning up after pets, administering medications when needed, and making sure my dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. As a teenager, I also walked dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, which helped me become comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and walking styles. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable and loved. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I'll treat your pet with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I give my own, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. :) Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I care for my own 14-year-old dog every day, making time for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of love and attention. Because caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, I'm happy to fit additional walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting into my schedule. I believe pets thrive on consistency, so I always make it a priority to be dependable and ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special care their pet requires. I make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, clean environment while you're away. I also respect my clients' homes by keeping everything clean and secure and providing updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and loved until you return home!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pine Island Ridge
First time using Rover and could not have made a better choice by finding Rosa. She was beyond wonderful, felt very comfortable having Rosa stay in our home and care for our dogs. Came home to a clean home and happy pups, they miss her already. Highly recommend and will be booking again for all future travels! A+++
Mariana is great with dogs and all animals , she loves them and take care of them like they are her own. She stayed at our home for 4 days and took care of our animals, my dogs love her , I have a Yorkie and a big dog (mix ) so she’s great with both sizes and personalities. I recommend her !! Definitely will book her again.
I have never left my dogs with anyone and was nervous in the beginning. I didn’t know how my dogs would react to a sitter but that all changed when we hired Ryan. We have 2 older dogs and he handled them both so well. He’s kind, compassionate and experienced. He was very patient with both dogs which makes all the difference when you have an older dog. I know he did a great job because they ended up loving him after a couple of days. I would recommend him over and over again and will use him in the future for sure.
Melissa was amazing! She took such great care of my pets and my home while I was out of town. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone was safe, happy, and getting tons of love. The frequent update videos were the highlight of my trip and gave me total peace of mind. I will 100% be booking Melissa again—she’s truly a gem 💎
She is really amazing girl Kiko loves her a lot because when I met him back after one month with the Francesca, he was really good. I feel it that he was treated real good with her. She stayed at my house for one month and when we came back, the house was immaculate clean thank you very much for everything.
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Crystal. While I was out for the evening, she went above and beyond to make sure George was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She took him on multiple walks, spent quality time playing with him, and kept me consistently updated on how he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear from the moment I got home that George had a wonderful time—he was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. He truly enjoyed her company and has already made a new friend. I would absolutely trust Crystal again and look forward to having her watch George in the future. Highly recommend!
David was a true please to work with during our stay at The HardRock Hollywood. He kept us up to date on how our Rudy was adjusting to a new sitter, sent photos, and was flexible with our return time. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter and such he is a lovely young man! Go NAVY!🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️
Emily is simply wonderful. Left her with my two golden doodle boy brothers for a full week at my home. She executed everything to perfection from feeding schedules to walking to pictures and videos myself and my children felt comfortable the whole time with Emily and we would definitely use her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pine Island Ridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pine Island Ridge on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,485 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pine Island Ridge. 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 Ridge 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 Ridge 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 Ridge 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works 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.
