About: I’ve had pets of my own for more than 10 years and have also spent time fostering both dogs and cats, including animals with special needs. That experience has taught me that every pet needs something a little different, whether that means extra patience, a specific routine, a slower introduction, or just plenty of attention and reassurance. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with everything from newborn kittens to extra-large dogs, and I’m very comfortable around big breeds since we have large dogs of our own at home. Fostering has also given me experience working with animals who may be nervous, shy, adjusting to a new environment, or in need of a little extra care. I’m patient and attentive, and I always try to meet animals where they are rather than expecting them to immediately warm up to me. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, cautious and reserved, or convinced they should be the center of attention at all times, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. I’m available for weekday and weekend walks, drop-ins, and varying times throughout the day, including early mornings, late evenings, and everything in between. I know pet routines don’t always fit into a 9-to-5 schedule, so I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. Whether you need regular care, occasional help, or a little extra flexibility, I’ll do my best to make scheduling easy and reliable. Safety, trust, and communication are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, house rules, and any special instructions you provide. I also know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, so I make a point to keep owners in the loop. I’m happy to send regular updates, photos, and little check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. In your home, I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses, and I always respect both your space and your pet’s boundaries. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or anything else that seems unusual, and I’ll communicate right away if I notice something. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable while you’re apart.

“Was very pleased and impressed with Chantil’s sitting services. She watched my two cats during my first post-Covid vacation and from the first string of videos she sent, I could tell my babies were in good hands! They took to her right away, even when she delivered their asthma medication. Not easy to pull off! Will definitely book again.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for as long as I can remember, especially senior pups who need extra patience, gentleness, and love. Growing up, I had two senior dogs, a 17 year old Poodle and a 15 year old Shih Tzu, so I’m very familiar with caring for older dogs, understanding their routines, and recognizing when they need a little extra support or comfort. I currently have a one-year-old Shih Tzu who I’ve raised since he was a puppy, so I’m experienced with both young, energetic dogs and calmer, older companions. I truly treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I work full-time but only three days a week, which gives me great flexibility for drop ins, walks, and house sitting. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to follow your dog’s specific routine, whether that means quiet walks, playtime, medication schedules, or just extra cuddles. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority, and I would love the opportunity to care for your fur baby 💕 I work three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets while you’re busy or away. My home is calm and pet-friendly, and my dog Momo provides gentle companionship for dogs who enjoy being around other pets and friendly playtime together.

About: One thing that you'll find with me is that I believe we all do the absolute best we can for our pets. It is so hard to trust your loved one with someone new, and I want to make that experience as painless as possible. You're doing the best for your pup by finding someone to watch them where they are most comfortable, and my job is to treat them as I would my own every step of the way. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule which allows me to ensure that I am taking all the time necessary to take care of your dog(s) while you are away. Just like people, every dog is different. I want to know what yours needs and enjoys so we can maximize our time together and have the best time possible. I am very active with my own dogs, but will absolutely cater to what matters to you most for yours.

“Magda did a wonderful job taking care of my babies. I never had to worry about them. There was even a 5k going on one of the days she had to drop by and couldn’t get to my house.... she walked. She is very attentive the the dogs and does everything to make them feel comfortable and give them love. I now know I don’t need to worry about going out of town again because I have Magda to love on my puppies.”

About: I’ve grown up with a dog in my house all mice, a German Shepard named sable, a Labrador named Jake, and currently a pitbull/blue healer named colt who were and are all amazing dogs. I’m always the one to take care of both my sisters dogs and house sit for them as much as I can. I also take care of my best friends dogs and cats whenever they need. I have taken care of other animals privately as well with mainly medium size and small dogs. Dogs have needs whether it’s vet and treatment related or simply walking/play time to expel that explosive energy and I personally love being active as much as I can. Dogs tend to love me and are comfortable with me and I genuinely love taking care of them; they bring a lot of peace and comfort myself too. I’m currently working full time but my days are set so my days off that I’m available are Sunday, Monday, and Fridays. Saturdays I’m available after 2pm and all other days after 6pm. Whatever you need I can provide as much attentive care to your dogs and cats. I am familiar with set diets and exercise as well as stressed and/or hyper active dogs or cats. Let me know what they need and I’ll provide the environment and care!

About: i've been taking care of animals since i was 5 years old i grew up on a ranch in georgia i've had experience with senior animals and newborns My life revolves around the well-being of animals, so I’ve structured my work hours to ensure I’m always available for morning walks and evening cuddles. I genuinely look forward to the quiet moments of grooming and the energetic play sessions, treating every pet’s schedule with the same priority and love as my own daily needs. I believe a calm pet is a happy pet, so I maintain a serene, hazard-free home where animals can explore safely or retreat to cozy, quiet corners. My approach is built on patience and gentle reassurance, ensuring your companion feels secure and cherished through consistent routines, supervised play, and plenty of affectionate attention in a loving space.

About: I've been caring for animals informally for years. I had my own fur baby, Charlie, who was so much more than a pet—he was my best friend for 13 years. He taught me that when it comes to caring for animals, the most important qualities are patience, consistency, empathy, and understanding that no two pets are the same. Since Charlie's passing, I've loved helping friends and family care for their furry companions, whether dogs or cats. One of my favorite parts is getting to know each pet's unique personality and what makes them tick. Whether it's long walks, chasing toys, cuddles on the couch, or simply enjoying each other's company, I love meeting pets where they are and giving them the care and attention they need. Spending time with furry friends has truly become one of my favorite ways to spend the day. I'm comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, keeping them active, entertained, and sticking to their routines. I also have experience giving oral medications when they can be hidden in food or treats. A little about me—I'm a licensed mental health counselor, so patience, compassion, and empathy come naturally to me. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else's care. I'll treat them with the same love, attention, and respect that I gave my Charlie boy. Whether you're away on vacation or simply at work for the day, I'll make sure to keep you posted with plenty of pictures and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My schedule varies from week to week, but I’m generally available Thursday through Saturday for walks and drop-in visits! I make sure to keep my Rover calendar up to date so you can easily see when I’m available. Since my days off are dedicated to pet care, I can often accommodate different times throughout the day. Whether your furry friend needs a morning walk, a potty break, some playtime, or just a little extra company while you’re away, I’d love to spend some time with them! At this time, I'm offering dog walks and drop-in visits in your home. While I'm not currently able to provide boarding, I'm more than happy to come to your pet's familiar environment, where they can feel safe, comfortable, and stick to their normal routine. Whether it's a walk around the neighborhood, playtime in the backyard, a potty break, fresh food and water, or simply a lil extra love and time hanging out while you're away, I'll make sure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve. I'll also treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own, and I'll always leave things just as I found them.

About: My name is Kristen what sets me apart from others is my unwavering commitment to providing personalized care tailored to each furry friend's unique needs and preferences. With a genuine passion for canine companionship, I feel as though I go above and beyond to create a nurturing and enriching environment where every pet feels cherished, safe, and loved. From daily walks and playtime to customized feeding schedules and plenty of belly rubs, I (and my family) prioritize the well-being and happiness of each dog in my care. You can be rest assured that we will treat your furry friend like family. Each morning begins with a warm greeting and cuddle session with my furry companions, setting a positive tone for the day ahead. Throughout the day, I prioritize their needs, whether it's feeding them nutritious meals at regular intervals, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation through walks and playtime, or providing love and attention during quiet moments at home. Our home boasts a spacious fenced-in yard, providing ample room for your furry friend to frolic and explore to their heart's content. Nestled in a delightful neighborhood adorned with inviting sidewalks, we offer the perfect setting for leisurely strolls and invigorating walks. Additionally, if your pet requires crate time for any reason, rest assured, I'm fully accommodating and equipped to ensure their comfort and safety. Your pet's well-being and happiness are my top priorities, and I strive to provide them with a nurturing environment where they can thrive both indoors and outdoors.

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.

Couldn't have asked for a better sitter for my cats. Her updates were thorough and detailed without being overwhelming, and I always felt like I had a good sense of how they were doing while we were away. She was especially wonderful with my shy cat, who is usually very hesitant around new people. She was patient, let him come to her on his own terms, and earned his trust surprisingly quickly. The funniest part is that when getting home after several days away, the cats barely seemed annoyed with my absence. Normally I'd get some dramatic complaints for abandoning them, but they seemed happy and content, which I think is the best indication of how comfortable and cared for they felt while I was gone. I'd absolutely book with her again.

She came to my house and played with them, fed them, cleaned their litter, and refilled their water. She was on time, and did a great job.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Pine Island Ridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
