“Juliana was wonderful with my dog. It was my first time leaving her with a sitter, and Juliana gave me so much peace of mind. She communicated frequently, sent plenty of photos and videos, and kept me updated on her behavior and medications. She was kind, attentive, and caring. I would absolutely recommend her!”
About: I grew up with five dogs, and have had at least one since. I've dogsat for neighbors countless times, and have enjoyed every second with their furry friends. Not counting my high school/childhood years, I've been dogsitting for 5 years. I currently work part-time and as a theater artist. I have the most time on Monday - Wednesday (full availability) with more limited time on Thurs - Sun. Most Thurs/Fri I'm available until about 4 pm. Same for weekends, unless I end up working a matinee. I always have morning availability. When coming into a client's home, the first thing I'm doing is working on gaining your pet's trust. I understand it can be scary having a stranger walk into your safe space! I speak gently, get on their level (if safe to do so) and overall just work on showing them that I'm there to have a good time with them.
“Emily was amazing! She communicated really well throughout the entire stay and treated my pups with so much love and care. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in great hands. We’re already using her again, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: As a dog sitter, what sets me apart is my extensive experience and caring for dogs of all ages. I have been providing excellent pet care services I was 11 years old. I have the patience for looking after puppies and I provide gentle care for senior dogs. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for all the dogs in my care, ensuring they receive the individual attention and specialized care they need. My dedication to providing top-notch care and my unique skills truly set me apart from other sitters. I currently work a job 3 days a week, so I have plenty of time to love and care for your fur babies. I am available for boarding on the weekends as well. In my home, I prioritize creating a safe and loving environment for all the pets in my care. I ensure that the space is pet-friendly, with no hazards or potential dangers. I provide plenty of toys, comfortable bedding, and spaces for the pets to relax and play. I also maintain a clean and tidy environment to ensure the well-being of the pets. Additionally, I make sure to give each pet individual attention and affection, catering to their specific needs and routines. I also ensure they get plenty of exercise and playtime, as well as adhere to any special dietary or medical needs they may have. My goal is to provide a loving and nurturing home away from home for the pets in my care.
“Sharon is truly phenomenal with our pup. We feel totally confident when she stays the weekend to watch our gal. We get great updates that show how well our pup is being taken care of. We always look forward to Sharon’s next stay!”
“Sophia was super kind, friendly and awesome! She was down to meet prior to the sit to see if vibes were matching and they indeed did! She made sure donut was occupied, played with and kept him happy! She was also energetic and outgoing just like our doggo so it matched very well. She also updated me alot with pictures, videos, and texts! I very much appreciated that while we were out for the couple hours. Thank you again for watching donut! We will forsure contact you for future visits!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life. I can have handled big and small dogs with incredible patience. They are truly my calling. I love going out on walks and playing with them for long periods of time. I would love to meet any new furry friends 🥰 I’m currently available full time for most of the week. I do all day playdates and will even stay nights. They are welcome in my home but keep in mind I have a little sausage dog as well. I don’t have a fenced yard since I live in an apartment but I have a park really close by to play if needed. I will also brush and wipe their coats.
“Madison was wonderful. I came last minute to go to the UM game. My little guy gets super anxious. She was available super last minute. She was professional and Banks was immediately calm with her before I left. Id recommend booking with her.”
About: I speak both English and Spanish! I’m originally from Patagonia, where stray dogs are a common sight. I adopted two dogs of my own and learned how to understand their needs, build trust, and train them with patience and positive reinforcement. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether it’s boarding, house sitting, walks, or drop-in visits, I’ll treat your furry friend with the same love, care, and attention I gave my own! 🐶❤️ I’m currently available, so I have a flexible schedule and can easily manage my time around pet care. I’m also a photographer, which means I can work around different schedules—and yes, I’m a pet photographer too! 😉 I have a fenced backyard with a small tree where pets can enjoy some outdoor time safely. I also have a pet net on my door, so they can go inside or outside comfortably while staying safe. I don't use to listen music. I prefer to read or work on my computer so they won't suffer loud noises. I also have a car in case a pickup or drop-off is needed. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in my home or my client’s home.
“Abby was an absolute dream to work with and provided care for my kiddos that was above and beyond. I was able to fully relax knowing that my animals, one of which is partially blind and fully diabetic, were so well taken care of. My space was also left immaculate and I was so appreciative.”
“Winny was great at watching my 2 pups Mia and Tyler, and accommodating us last minute. They were happy when we returned and she provided daily updates with pics and videos. Will definitely hit her up once we go out of town again. She’s lovely 100/10”
About: I am a technical writer, and work from home. I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have a dog and have cared for many different pets over the years, including dogs, cats, hamsters, turtles, and quail. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I treat each one with patience, kindness, and the same care I’d want for my own. My goal is to help your pet-child feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently work part-time, and can definitely see if our schedules can work together or closely match. Always willing to meet in the middle for our furry family. I have a fenced in yard, surrounded by oak trees, avocado trees, and lush greenery. My dog loves it, and is always exploring outside safely.
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, hedgehogs, and plants. I am patient, attentive, reliable, and committed to following each pet’s unique routine and care instructions. I work from home and set my own hours, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care, attention, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and keep pets comfortable in their familiar routine. I respect the client’s home, keep food and litter areas clean, secure doors and windows, and provide regular updates for peace of mind.
About: My family always had at least one dog and cat growing up, usually many of both. Now I have a dog of my own that I continue to train, take on daily walks and take care of. He also has allergies so I have a lot of experience with that as well. I have experience taking both large and small dogs on walks, training them, feeding and playing with them. I also have experience with cat care as well and even took classes on both mammalian anatomy and animal behavior. I currently work until 6:30 M-Th, so I will have limited availability on those days. I have completely open weekends, however, and would be available for all types of visits or care then! I can’t board or bring any pets to my home so every visit would depend on how you care for your pet, I’ll follow your lead! If you want, I can bring my dog over for a playdate (he’s super friendly and loves other animals), but that’s completely up to you!
“Nicole is awesome! An absolute angel. She took great care of my fur babies while staying at my house and caring for my senior dog. It is not easy to care for my senior dog but Nicole went about and beyond to make sure she got the care and attention she needs. I would absolutely book Nicole again in the future and will recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
About: I have been pet-sitting for family and friends for about 5 years, cats and dogs! I believe patience is key and I really enjoy spending time with my furry friends! Please reach out if you have any questions, thank you! I work a 9-5 but my evenings, early mornings and weekends are mostly free. I live & work near Aventura area & I have flexibility outside of my work hours. I can only pet-sit at the clients home since I have a cat at my home. I am flexible, please inform me if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you!
“My father passed away unexpectedly and I had to leave for New York within minutes. My biggest concern was my two dogs. I reached out to Anna and she came immediately without hesitation. From that moment on, I was completely worry-free. She sent consistent updates, photos, and videos, and my dogs were clearly happy and well cared for the entire week. She stayed with them full-time and kept me calm during a very difficult time. When I returned home, my house was spotless and beautifully organized. She truly went above and beyond. She is the best dog sitter I’ve used in 9 years — 100% trustworthy and reliable. I will absolutely be using her again.”
About: I’m a very loving and attentive person who truly cares for animals as if they were my own. I understand that your pets are part of your family, and I treat them with the same kindness, patience, and affection they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making your furry friend feel safe, happy, and loved My schedule is very very flexible for pet care because I am a ballet teacher and only work a couple of hours in the afternoon I am very very careful and detail-oriented, always keeping everything clean and organized. Your pet will enjoy a safe, hygienic, and loving environment with me.

Blas was great, he was so specific and detailed with letting me know if he had any issues or concerns that I may have left out when it came to taking care of my babies. I came back to my home spotless and maybe even better than I left it. My babies were well taken care of Thank you so much Blas
Tito was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! He took excellent care of them and treated them with so much love, attention, and patience. You can really tell that he genuinely loves animals and cares about their well-being. My dogs were very happy with him, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would definitely trust Tito with them again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and reliable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Tito, for taking such great care of them! 🐾❤️
Frederick stayed at our place and took great care of our American staffordshire terrier! He was super reliable, responsive and I was at ease knowing that my dog is in good hands. He has a lot of experience with dogs and it was amazing that he could run with him. He left our place in super tidy and clean condition, sent us daily updates and I could tell my dog loves him. I’m very happy we found Frederick. Highly recommend!
Jacqueline was absolutely wonderful taking care of our boy! She accepted our last minute booking without hesitation and even made time for a last minute meet and greet, which we really appreciated. Throughout her stay, she kept us updated with messages and photos, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. When we got home, our place was clean and organized and we left it. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Jacqueline to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again for our next trip!
We have used Elisha several times now, and she has really come in clutch when something last minute pops up. She takes very good care of our girls and we feel extremely comfortable leaving them in her care, and in our home. She continuously keeps us updated with texts and pictures. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone to take care of their pets!!
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!!!
Darlyn did a wonderful job taking care of my pups for the day. I really appreciated the updates and photos—it gave me peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Pinewood is $82 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $49 and $92 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 November 2026, there are 4,141 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pinewood. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
