“We were thrilled that Zachary could care for Maple for a second time. Again, he was dependable, trustworthy and timely. We are so happy we found him and will continue to reach out in the future when we need care for our dog! We highly recommend hiring Zachary for pet care.”
“Brian was absolutely amazing while we were away in Disney World! He took such great care of our 2 dogs and our home — sending updates, photos, and keeping everything spotless. It was such a relief knowing they were happy, safe, and in their own routine while we were gone. He even went above and beyond with overnighting my cell that I left behind - and we came home to calm, content pups. Couldn’t recommend him more — truly dependable, kind, and easy to communicate with. We’ll definitely be booking him again!”
“Corrine was great! She came over before the weekend for a "meet and greet" with our dog and cat. Our black lab/pit bull mix is a bit territorial with strangers - Corrine was very calm and allowed Luna to come to her. Within 5 minutes she was sitting on the couch next to Corrine and snuggling! Corrine kept us updated throughout the weekend and sent a few pictures of our dog and cat as well. If the need arises again, we will definitely reach out to Corrine!”

“Michelle was great with my Great Danes! She sent many pictures of them running around the yard, getting cozy, and just being their goofy selves. She managed meds, feeds, fun, and supported them through a stormy night. What I appreciated most is that Michelle is a great communicator! I would love to have her watch the boys again!”

“We will 100% use Jonathan and Kayleigh’s services again! They were able to help us out on short notice, and both our dog and cat loved them. Even after we got home, our dog even checked the driveway for their car a few times, which to us, speaks volumes as to how well they cared for him 10/10”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I grew up on a dairy goat farm. All sorts of dogs, horses, cats, cows, goats, etc. I have had Chihuahuas all the way through German Shepherds. Puppy age all the way through their whole lives. I am the biggest animal (especially dog) lover! I love meeting new personalities. I would spend 24/7 lounging around with my dogs & cats if I could!🩷 I currently have a 16 year old Minature Schnauzer, and an under 1 year old Goldendoodle. My old girl currently takes quite a few medications and likes her alone time. My little man loves to play, be active, and requires hands on often. Therefore, I work with a spectrum of needs. I will make sure your baby has all the play time (or alone/rest time) they need!🩷 I am a professional MMA fighter & bar tend on the weekends! Most of my job consists of being at the gym just a couple hours at a time. And I live 5 minutes away from where I train! It makes spending time with & caring for pets easy and frequent. I only bar tend two days on the weekend (and my boyfriend is home most of that time too 😁 ) Home visits 🏡: In my client’s homes, I can easily care for your pets however you need. I will play games with your furry friends, lounge around with them, etc. I am a very active person & love taking long walks myself, so I would love to do that with your dog if you’d like! I am a reliable, very detail oriented gal. Whatever instructions you leave, I’ll get them done. I love when my clients can come back to a clean, comfortable space after caring for their fur babies. Boarding 🐶: I have a fenced in back yard on a quieter side street. We have an older Miniature Schnauzer, under 1 year old Goldendoodle, and two gentle, quiet cats that lounge around (pretty much keeping to themselves) 🩷 I have plenty of space in my living area to have the zoomies. I have a spare room to give your pet some rest and seclusion too! That means I also have ample room to crate your doggie, if needed. We would love to have your best friend come hang with us 🙂
“Jada did a phenomenal job watching our two dogs! She provided thorough and timely updates every day, and she truly put me at ease knowing our dogs were in good hands. Couldn’t ask for a better dogsitter!”
About: Hello pet parents! I am originally from Connecticut and did my undergrad in Philly. Prior to moving to Ann Arbor I lived in Portland, OR for a few years where I got my start on Rover (2020-2023) though I have been caring for dogs & cats professionally since I was in high school. I spent the last two years in NYC where sadly I had to take a break from Rover, so i'm very excited to be back in a house with a yard so I can resume this important part of my life. As you can see by the photos on my profile, being around dogs is when I'm the happiest. My dog-sitter MO is similar to my personal lifestyle which is to be active and doing things outdoors as much as possible. I also understand that, like humans, every dog has a personality of their own and I value the importance of catering to this, especially being a new and unfamiliar face for them. I work from home during this time so it’s quite easy for me to juggle the responsibility, even for the needier ones. Outside of work hours I like to get outside for a walk or hike. I have a truck, so its also easy for me to take the dogs with me on a woodsy adventure or to the dog park. I am excited for the opportunity to meet your dog(s) and can't wait to talk more about exactly what you're looking for! Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions, I am always happy to share more about myself or my experience. I’ve spent almost all of my life having a dog around and caring for them in one way or another. I currently do not have any pets of my own due to moving around too much and frankly I like to use this app to fill that void when I can, not so much for the money :)
About: I have had dogs in my family since I was born. Big, small, medium and super tiny! I have always trained my own dogs and taught some friends new tricks also! I do all my own maintenance on them as well. It’s not easy, but I’m pretty confident in my abilities. I have had dogs stay with me for a night up to a week at a time. I also go to others’ houses for play dates, walks or just to get out of the crate, potty and run around for a bit. I have a true love for dogs and I would love to help care for yours also! I’m a part time worker now but most of my weekend and afternoons are open. I would love to come visit with your dog(s) to play, feed or take for walks. I have a fenced in yard at home with the exception of the driveway. They do stay in their yard though. We travel up north a few times a year and they are either on leads or free roaming up there.
“Erin was so great with our senior Aussie. She gave him all the attention he craves and was willing to accommodate his early wakeups. Appreciated the updates and photos she sent. She made our time away worry free.”
About: I just made the compassionate choice to set my dog free from his pain. I was a dad to a 7 1/2 year old Schnauzer mix who was just the best. If you want to know more I can talk about him for days. I used to watch pups for teachers, coaches, and family members before I moved out and got my pup! I’ve watched dogs of all sizes and would love to get to spend time with your pup too. I have a fenced in yard, love taking dogs for walks and playing with them. They will always have a blanket and bed to lay on and lack nothing with me. I work a hybrid schedule right now, so I’m usually available around lunch times or in a pinch to go make an appearance for your pup and make sure they’re taken care of. Depending on your needs I can usually be flexible with my time to make things work. My house has a fenced in yard, and I love going outside with dogs to play, throw the ball, or just hang out with them. Wherever I need to be for them, I’m there! They will be able to explore my house, be in furniture.
“Hanaa did an amazing job caring for our golden doodle while we were away for 10 days. Our pup went on daily walks and had lots of playtime and cuddles. She was very communicative, responsible, and willing to go the extra mile. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to feel at ease about your pet being cared for while you are away!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pinckney
Erica is a great dog sitter! We left on a week long vacation and she stayed at our house with our two “Velcro” Havanese. She came a few times before our trip to get acquainted with them which was helpful. She truly understands dog behavior & my dogs adjusted well to her having a good “staycation”. She asked detailed questions and followed their routine. She even tried new things with them - licking mats after I explained they liked to lick to soothe themselves. She sent regular updates which gave us piece of mind to enjoy our vacation. Our house was in great shape when we returned with happy dogs who were less stressed staying in their own house with Erica who gave them love and attention. I would highly recommend Erica!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Pinckney is $98 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $54 and $155 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 1,366 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pinckney. 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 Pinckney 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 Pinckney 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Pinckney 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
