“Could not have hoped for a better experience! We are so grateful we found Cassie and her partner. They took amazing care of our two pits while we were away and even left our home cleaner than when we left. From the very first interaction, Cassie was quick to respond and maintained excellent communication throughout our trip. She is trustworthy, tidy, positive, and a great communicator. She also shared sweet photos of our pups while we were away, which we really appreciated. Thank you Cassie!! 🐾”

About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life, from big breeds like German Shepherds to small ones like Maltipoos, so I'm comfortable with every size and energy level. For the past four years I've raised my own dachshund on my own, which taught me how much routine, patience, and attention to small details matter for a dog's happiness. I'm active and reliable, so your pup gets a real walk, not a rushed lap around the block. I'll treat your dog the way I treat mine, and keep you updated with photos so you never have to wonder how the walk went. work a part-time schedule that leaves my Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays completely open, so I'm available around the clock on those days for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. Pet care is already part of my everyday routine since I have my own dachshund, so morning walks, feeding schedules, and keeping a dog active and happy come naturally to me. On my open days, your pup gets my full attention and a consistent schedule you can count on week after week. In your home, I follow your pet's routine exactly as you set it, from feeding times and portions to walks, play, and any medications. I keep fresh water out, clean up after every meal and walk, and leave your home as tidy as I found it. On walks, I keep a steady pace matched to your dog's size and energy, stay alert to traffic and other dogs, and always use a secure leash. I send photo updates after every visit, and if anything seems off with your pet's appetite, energy, or health, I'll let you know right away.

About: My top priority is making sure your pets feel like they’re on their own fun vacation while you’re away! I treat every single animal in my care as if they were my own—giving them endless love, personalized attention, and a safe, joyful environment where they can relax and play. With extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals—alongside a background in veterinary care environments—I bring both dedicated affection and a high level of health and safety knowledge to every visit. Whether you have energetic companions, a multi-pet household, or farm animals needing reliable routine care, I adapt seamlessly to your exact setup. I am fully comfortable managing specialized medical needs, including administering oral medications, topical treatments, and following strict health schedules. If you have an older or special-needs pet, I provide gentle handling, mobility support, and attentive monitoring to keep them comfortable, calm, and happy. You can expect complete peace of mind, clear communication, and frequent photo updates showing just how much fun and affection your pets are receiving! Flexible Daily Schedule & Work-From-Home Availability Because I own and run my own business from home, I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week. Being home during the day means your pets won't be left alone for long stretches—I am always around to take dogs out for frequent potty breaks, give cats plenty of mid-day love and attention, or tend to whatever routine needs your animals have. My open schedule allows me to easily stick to your pet's exact feeding and exercise times, giving them constant companionship and giving you complete peace of mind. Safe Yard, Active Walks & Secure Environment Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my highest priorities. I have a large, fully fenced-in backyard with plenty of space for dogs to run around, play fetch, and safely stretch their legs. In addition to play time in the yard, I love keeping dogs active and engaged with regular, leisurely walks around the neighborhood, always tailored to their energy level and leash habits. Whether we’re enjoying structured outdoor walks or relaxing safely in the yard, your pets are always closely supervised to ensure a fun, secure, and stress-free experience.

“Anna was absolutely wonderful. she was extremely responsible and loving to my dog and cat. They adored her! There was a lot for her to do. My dog has quite a few medications to take. Anna followed all the directions and gave all the meds correctly. She was very sweet and kind to the animals and she was very patient with me. Anna always sent us photos and videos of our pets. We truly trusted her and did not worry about our pets. my husband and I highly recommend her. your fur babies will be quite safe and cared for by Anna.”

About: I am your official dog aunt! I do not have any pets at my home so that is why I have so much love to give to yours 🥰 My care level ranges from the puppy stage to senior care. I have experience with different breeds, sizes, and levels of care. I treat and love them as if they were my own family. I do pet sitting and walking full time so my available range is open. My day-to-day and weekly schedules are constantly fluctuating based on the bookings. Basically, what you need is what you will get from me. Whether it’s the basics of safety and care to more personal and specialized service, I look after and take care as if it is my own.

She gave so much attention and care to all the animals to make sure of their wellbeing it was a relief to us and we had zero worries while they were in her care. I would recommend Christina to anyone and will certainly use her services again.”

About: **Flexible schedule!!!** Since I was a child I've had a deep connection with animals! My love for them is what fuels my passion with animal rescue. No matter where I go, animals are drawn to me. Some people call it a "gift" I call it a love connection. I've traveled the world & have even helped find homes for dogs in Greece & most recently Puerto Rico. One of my favorite rescues was a dog I got adopted in FL that I brought back from Puerto Rico after finding him in a tied bag. I've rescued over 100+ dogs & cats and have found them amazing homes. Many of my previous "fosters" still visit with me today. I'm the one who lights up when I see a dog in public. :) I have been a volunteer with Grateful Paws Rescue for 23 years now. Your pets care is my #1 priority, in keeping them safe, loved & having fun while you are away. I know what it's like to be away from your fur baby as I had an amazing 15 yr old Shepherd/Retriever mix Charlie who was my son. I found Charlie on the streets of Hollywood & I didn't like to be away from him one minute. I'll always keep you updated on how your pet is doing so that you don't worry. I also pay attention to details, things like change in behavior etc.. things that could make a difference for your pets health & well being. I take lots of daily leash walks. If you are new to Rover & never booked before, ask me how to get $20 off your first booking with me! **I require a meet & greet before booking an overnight or a walk which is the best thing for all of us. During the meet & greet we will discuss drop off & pick times, and anything else that will help us align on what's best for both of us. I work from home and Meli is with me chillin while I work. I may leave to run errands but your pet will never be left alone for hours. Safety is a top priority with your pets while in my care. Too often there are inexperienced sitters or walkers that are too busy on their phones rather than being alert to what's going on around them. I will always pay attention while caring for your pets as if they were my own. The same thing goes for your home. I would treat it as if it were my own.

About: I have been pet sitting for dogs, cats, and horses for years. I have administered shots, drugs for seizures and more. I have held dogs while have full seizures lasting over 20 minutes. I understand the importance of both mental and physical exercise and stimulation. I provide food games for dogs they require it. I am Fear Free certified. I am a Realtor who works from home. My schedule is very flexible. Dog walks, drop ins, over night stays and day care is always available. I have a walled in backyard for your furry babies to play. The backyard has foam mats for the dogs’ comfort. There is also a trampoline, weave poles, a ladder, kiddy pool, child’s play school house, Little Tykes outdoor climb, slides, stairs, walk across & buckets of balls for the dogs’ entertainment. Our lure kit just arrived! There is two floors to provide more space, there are normally at least 2 dogs and 2 cats to play with at all times. I live with someone who will also provide additional love and attention. All house guests are crated for feeding time, and if no one is home for the safety of all the animals. If you would like your your dog to go for a run, I take them on my roller blades. Our couch, bed, and additional dog beds are there for comfort. There are full water buckets on each floor, and toy bins in every room over flowing with toys the dogs have access to 24/7 unless they are crated. There is normally some sort of dog friendly tv playing at all times on at least one tv in the house for the dogs’ entertainment. I have stair treads on all stairs in the house for the comfort and safety of all the dogs...some dogs are afraid of stairs without carpet..such as my dog. All the dogs, no matter the size seem to enjoy the cat door. For the dogs that really like food, I feed them with slow feeders. Slow feeders provide mental stimulation, slow down how fast they eat, aid in a healthier digestive system and reduce gas. If you are interested in slow feeders for your dog, I sell them as well. When I am home I am able to do one Skype or FaceTime call per day and activity pictures upon request.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life and have always been very hands on with their care. I currently have two golden retrievers, german shepherd and two cats have experience giving medication, especially when they were younger. I understand how important it is to keep pets on a routine and make them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve also volunteered at a cat shelter, where I helped care for multiple cats at once, including feeding, cleaning, and socializing them. This helped me become patient, attentive, and confident handling different personalities. What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like my own. I’m nurturing, responsible, and very attentive to detail. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that seriously. Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I have dogs and cats of my own. I’m used to feeding on schedule, going on walks, cleaning up after them, giving medication when needed, and making sure they get attention and playtime every day. Taking care of animals isn’t something I “fit in” it’s already a natural part of my life. Safety is my top priority. In my home, I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and in a calm, clean environment. I follow feeding schedules carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and pay close attention to behavior changes. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions exactly as given. I stick to the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress and make sure they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I also provide updates so owners feel reassured and connected.

About: I am an exceptional choice for someone to take care of your pet(s). I am friendly, attentive, and respectful, always putting your pets safety and wellbeing first. I am a lover of all animals and things “friend-shaped.” I have 3 family dogs and adopted my cat, Venus, 5 years ago. I’ve grown up my entire life with at least 2 dogs in the home at the same time, and the most being 6. My family began rescuing pitbulls in 2007, so growing up with dogs, especially large ones, allows me to feel extremely comfortable around them and understand their body language. I have lived with dogs of all sizes and have lived with multiple cats at time. I would love to help you feel comforted while you are away from home, by knowing that your pet(s) is/are in loving and careful hands. This is a fun fact, but when I was 16, my friends and I fundraised $2,000 within 3 days to donate towards a local shelter, including food, bedding, and other items. I have a reliable means of transportation and I am currently working a part-time, completely remote and flexible job, so I would be able to work around your schedule fully. I wake up early, so I can do early morning walks, drop-ins, or house sit early in the morning. Just let me know. I can adapt to any requirements necessary for your dog/cat. For dogs, I would prefer to walk them with a harness rather than just a collar. I can take your cat on a walk too, if they are comfortable with it—either with a well-fit harness, cat backpack, or stroller. I have my own backpack I could use. I would like to learn about your pet beforehand to understand any specific details about them. For example, I have a dog who doesn’t like when people touch his ears, but I have another that loves it. My cat, Venus, loves to be held, but one of my old roommate’s cats, Sage, did not. General information like that. I will also send you pictures/videos of your pet while you’re away if that helps you feel comfortable.

About: As a pharmacy student, I spend my days studying medications, but my true specialty is giving belly rubs and unlimited love. I’m a proud dog mom to a Schnauzer, so I understand that pets aren’t just pets, they’re family (and sometimes the real bosses of the house 😂). I promise to treat your furry baby like my own, with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and extra cuddles! I’m currently a PharmD student and work part-time, but there’s always room in my schedule for some furry friends. Between studying and surviving pharmacy school, spending time with animals is my favorite kind of therapy. As a proud Schnauzer mom, I know our pets are basically our children (just a little more spoiled 😂). Your pet’s safety and happiness are my priorities. I’ll follow their usual routines, provide fresh water, meals, walks, and plenty of cuddles. I’ll also make sure their environment is safe and clean. Expect lots of cute photo!!!!

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds from Malteses to American Bulldogs. I currently have a 2 year old Norwegian Elkhound who I consider my baby and will treat your dog the same. I am happy to accommodate any specific routines, habits, and needs your pet has. I am currently a student on break so I have nothing but time to take care of your baby. I am on break for the summer so I’ll have plenty of time to play and walk your pup! I’m available morning, noon, and night! I will accommodate your wants and needs for your dog. Whether that be making sure they get plenty of play time or just dropping by to check in, I will make sure that your baby is cared for.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pine Island Ridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Pine Island Ridge is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $72 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 4,542 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 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.
