“My husband and I were very happy with how our animals (family) were taken care of. We have no hesitation using her again. She sent us photos and was always responsive. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to watch over their animals. Thank you Elisha and Rover!!!!!”
“Anthony was great! Sent multiple updates, pictures and also alleviated any concerns we had throughout our trip. He Was very professional and followed our request and instructions perfectly. Will definitely recommend him to anyone!”
About: Hi, My name is Michael M. I just moved backed home to Miami. Since my first memories we have always owned dogs. My mom had a habit of picking up stray dogs. Her heart always broke when she saw a furry defenseless dog begging for food or needing shelter. My mom's big heart exposed me to many types of dogs all different sizes and temperament. I have been dog sitting for a while now and it's one of my favorite things to do. I am a realtor and I am able to work from home during the day while clients are working and when I am away it's for only a few hours at a time. I have a fenced yard. Like I said my dog loves social interaction with other friendly doggies and would love to find friends he could play with. I am a real estate agent with my office at home. I will be able to watch over them while they play.
“Leo helped me out when I was in a jam. He agreed to take care of my dog and cat on very short notice and did a great job with them, keeping me informed multiple times per day. Highly recommend.”
“Audrey is a great sitter for my cats. She even took care of my tanks too. My cats are safe and happy. I got informed everyday and never got worried for my babies. I will definetly book her again”
“I had a fantastic experience with Macenna. She took such warm, attentive care of my dog—it was clear from the start that my pup felt comfortable and happy. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. On top of that, my home was left spotless and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Luciana took great care of our dogs and home while we were traveling. She was super responsive via text, and kept us updated with photos. Our dogs were relaxed and happy when we returned. Highly recommend.”
About: As a pet owner myself, I know pets are truly family. I currently have two dogs—a Black and Tan Coonhound and a Beagle—as well as a cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. All of them are spoiled with love, attention, long walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Because I have experience with both dogs and cats in my own home, I understand their different personalities and needs. I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and affection that I give my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own who I care for every day. I am currently home for summer break from college, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I can give pets the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication needs, and any specific care preferences. For dog walking, I focus on safe, enjoyable walks with plenty of exercise and attention. For pet visits, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, are let out if needed, and get quality playtime and affection. For house sitting, I provide companionship, maintain the pet’s normal routine, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed in their own environment while their owner is away. I always treat every pet as if they were my own and respect the client’s home with care and responsibility.
“We had the best experience with Andreina and Mercedes!! They cared for our dog so well we were able to enjoy our time away with no worries. We will definitely rebook with them the next time we need a pet sitter!”
About: Hi! I’m Tiffany Rodriguez. Dogs and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’m currently a college student studying Business and Marketing, and outside of pet care I enjoy performing music. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and consistency to every pet I care for. I believe high-quality pet care should be both reliable and accessible :) My Experience • Over 10 years of personal and professional dog care • Proud dog mom to two pups: one Yorkie (Shy) and a French Bulldog (Big Jim — my foster fail!) • Ongoing foster & rehoming experience with stray and homeless dogs • Comfortable with dogs of all temperaments, including energetic, shy, and high-needs pups Services I Offer • Walks, drop-ins, boarding, and transportation • A safe, fenced home with secure front & backyard for playtime • Patient, attentive, one-on-one care Before Booking I require a meet-and-greet to ensure we’re the perfect fit. Please share any important details about your pup, including medical needs, anxiety, marking, or behavioral concerns. Transparency helps me provide the best and safest care possible. Your pet will be treated like family — with love, safety, structure, and lots of attention. Because I have pups of my own, I understand how important trust, communication, and peace of mind are. Your dog will always be supervised, whether relaxing indoors with A/C or enjoying outdoor time. Pets are welcome to roam freely unless crating is requested. With my smaller intake, your pup receives personalized care, affection, exercise, and close monitoring. You’ll also receive regular photo/video updates so you always feel connected. I’m happy to care for reptiles and birds as well! I frequently service the Hialeah, North Miami, Little Havana, and South Miami areas and strive to stay flexible whenever possible. Being a college student gives me a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time between commitments to provide pets with consistent care and lots of one-on-one attention. I currently have two small dogs in my home. They enjoy plenty of toys, cozy beds, and designated potty pads. My home is equipped with video monitoring, a fully secure fence, and a backyard where pups can safely play and explore.
“Carlos was so attentive and loved Hera. She was comfortable and really formed a bond. He sent us consistent updates, which we really appreciated. Hera really enjoyed her time. We would recommend Carlos to anybody that is looking for a competent and diligent dog sitter. We will definitely be booking him in the future!”
“I cannot recommend Alyiah highly enough—she is absolutely amazing! She has been caring for my two dogs for years, and the love she has for them is truly special. She treats my pups like her own—honestly, like they’re her children—and it shows in every single thing she does. What really sets Alyiah apart is how incredible she is when one of my dogs isn’t feeling well. She goes above and beyond, making sure they’re comfortable, giving medications carefully and reliably, and providing so much extra attention and care. It gives me complete peace of mind knowing they’re in her hands. Her updates and photos are thoughtful and reassuring, and you can just feel how much she genuinely cares. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly exceptional, Alyiah is the BEST. Five stars isn’t enough ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Denys was great with baloo I was able to see at times they got along well and he had plenty of good walks, I came back from vacation and baloo looks in great condition and also well fed...denys followed our instructions well and was very respectful of the house environment ,I highly recommend denys to anyone who wants excellent care of their pets...again thank you Denys and rover for this great experience!”
“First time ever leaving my dog alone and I’m so happy with how this all turned out and she is an amazing dot sitter. Would definitely use her again if I left my dog alone.”
“Phillip took great care of my pup and my home. It was spotless on my return, which was great to come home to after a late flight and way above and beyond what I expected of him. Will definitely hire again.”
“Alejandra did a great job taking care of our dogs and house. She even adjusted her work schedule on the last day so the dogs could go out before we got home later. An added bonus is she takes fantastic pictures of the dogs just as a part of her updates. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve watched dogs of all ages and sizes and have always been the go-to person for friends, family, and neighbors when they need someone reliable to care for their pets. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, or extra attention and care, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I work remotely so I’m very flexible! I’m always available throughout the day to take breaks and have an hour break to go on walks I’m the go to person when my family/friend/neighbors need someone to watch their animals. I love animals as well so they would always be in good hands with me.
“Connie was so attentive to my picky cat. It was clear she was very happy to have Connie stay with her for over a week and I came back to a house that was definitely cleaner than how I left it!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pinewood
We could not be more grateful for Tara and her AMAZING care of our 2 dogs Luca and Bonnie. They can be a handful and she was an absolute PRO with them! She kept them thoroughly entertained with lots of games of fetch and exploring around our neighborhood. We also got the BEST and most thorough updates 3 times a day with tons of cute pictures and videos. Cannot say enough about how amazing she is. Her communication is a 10/10 and we couldn’t be more grateful for her help taking such great care of our pups! Have already recommended her to many of our friends, would highly suggest you book her for any of your pet needs!!!
Blas was very responsive and knowledgeable about pet care. He kept great care of our dog and cat, provided lots of updates, and went beyond our expectations with cleaning up upon his departure (ie had already sanitized sheets and washed towels). We would recommend Blas for pet sitting services for anyone in the Miami area.

I highly recommend booking Mia! She did a house stay with our cat for over a week, and we had total peace of mind because she was so communicative and sent regular detailed updates. She also spent a ton of quality time with our cat, it’s clear that she really loves animals. And she took great care of the house and left it clean. Thanks again Mia!
Lis was great . I went away for a trip and she communicated through out the time I was away sent pictures and just made everything so convenient for me even picked and dropped him off would definitely recommend her to anyone . She really loves animals and your little ones will definitely be in the right hands .
Halle is very sweet and clearly cares about animals. She spent a lot of time with Indie and Zorro, walked Indie daily, and they were safe and loved while I was away. That said, as a newer sitter, there were a few misses with following household instructions — particularly around my senior cat’s strict urinary diet/treat limits and maintaining the no-sofa rule for my dog (who is a semi-recent rescue that can be stubborn at times). Communication was also lighter than I prefer, and I would have appreciated more proactive daily updates and supply check-ins. Overall, she has a kind heart and good intentions, but I’d recommend her most for lower-maintenance pets and households with simpler routines as she continues gaining experience.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pinewood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pinewood on Rover is $79.08 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,200 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pinewood. 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 Pinewood 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 Pinewood 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 Pinewood 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pinewood. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
