“We have used Brian 3 times now for extended periods, twice abroad, and each time was great. Brian is very trustworthy and responsible. Our dog was happy and house was clean each time we came back. We couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend.”
“Milo is great—highest recommendation to care for pets and house sit. Photos and updates through the weekend reassured us that the pets were soaking up the attention and love. Our Labrador is easy, but the cat is very picky and stand-offish with most people. Milo and she were great friends almost immediately. House was in fine shape also. Well done!”

“We couldn't have asked for a better person to spend the week with our fur babies than Yareli! 😊 She sent us regular updates of their playtime, walks, and lots of cuddles. We came home to a house that was even cleaner than when we left it, a vase of fresh flowers, and the sweetest thank you card from her. We are so happy to have found such a wonderful, dependable person and hope to have her back in the future! ❤️”
“Brianna was very responsible. She took great care of Flora and our house while we were away. Sent updates and photos and let us know when there were any issues with her schedule. We would recommend Brianna and would book her again to dog and house sit for us. Allowed us to be away worry free.”
“Corrine was great! Incredibly kind, prompt, and responsive to a very last minute request. I could not have asked for a better sitter. She communicated and sent pics which really set my mind at ease. Thank you thank you thank you!”
“Lyle watched out dog Maggie for 8 days, staying at our home. He did a wonderful job! He communicated with us everyday, including pictures. It felt so good to know she was well taken care of when we were gone. Our home was immaculate when we came home. I would not hesitate to use Lyle again, very kind man. Carin M”
“Heather house- and dog-sat for us over the weekend as our first experience with Rover and it went great. We were updated with photos of our dogs once she arrived (we had already left) and she was very responsive all along the way. It couldn't have gone any better.”
“Elle always takes such good care of our pooch Allie. This is the second time we’ve had her stay at our place and we always feel so comfortable and confident that Allie and our house are well taken care of. Can’t recommend Elle enough!”
“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”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pinckney
Erica did a wonderful job taking care of our cats while house sitting. She is a friendly, kind, and assiduous professional who went above and beyond when needed. Erica quickly texted us when one of our cats started having a GI tract issue. We contacted our vet, and Erica drove to the vet’s office not once, but twice, to pick up meds. Erica sent us frequent, informative updates. We are thankful for Erica’s timely communications, attention to detail, and willingness to go beyond expectations while taking excellent care of our cats and our home.
Vanessa was absolutely wonderful! She clearly has a lot of experience with dogs and our pups immediately felt comfortable with her at our meet and greet. Vanessa was great with our cats as well, letting them take the lead in warming up to her. Vanessa is extremely responsive and sends updates. She took great care of our pets - we could tell the pets got a ton of attention and exercise! We would 100% ask her to pet sit for us again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Pinckney
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pinckney on Rover is $97.68 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,379 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.
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 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 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.

- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
