“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!!”
“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”
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.
“I HIGHLY recommend working with Lux (Emily B.). We needed a last minute cat sitter to come do a house stay. We were hesitant about leaving because our elderly cat had recently gotten injured, but Lux kept a careful eye on them the whole time and sent regular updates and sweet photos. They are kind, communicative, responsible, and genuinely love animals. They even stayed a bit longer than required to make sure our cat had company till we got home. So thoughtful, we will definitely be working with them again!”
“Anthony was an amazing dog sitter for our dogs and was very communicative and dedicated to our requests. Looking forward to booking him again as our dogs absolutely loved having him take care of them!”
“Jackie is such a pleasant person and an excellent care taker for our Megan and Saber and our home. We are blessed to have her in our lives. We cannot wait to have her back! Highly recommended.”
“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.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for 12 years. I love tending to their special and specific needs. I have had dogs as pets since the age of 5 and since then I have loved caring for dogs always. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs and senior dogs. I have experience in administering medications like pills, ointments, and injections and I also can do first aid and CPR. I also can do dog grooming services like bathing, nail trimming, hair trimming and flea treatments. Dogs are very special to me and they deserve the world and the best care possible! I am dedicated full-time to taking care of dogs so I have all the time in the world to give unlimited bathroom breaks, walks, hugs, cuddles, treats and yummy food for the dogs in my care. I live in an apartment on the first floor. I make sure I have my eyes and ears on your pets at all times. I make sure all food is locked up for safety to avoid accidents and I make sure that your pet's bed is in my living room so that they have plenty of room to play with their toys. I always make sure they are well taken care of and provide plenty of fresh drinking water and food for them to eat. I also provide treats for the dogs in my care with the pet parent's permission. I provide daily updates and pictures with all of my bookings so that the owners always know how their pet is doing.
“Alejandra was wonderful! She had never met Balkan before and he has that puppy high energy but she handled him so well! She kept sending me updates and pictures. Will definitely work with her again!”
“Aliyah is an amazing doggie caretaker! I have 2 elderly dogs that need particular and full-time care. Aliyah understood their needs and ensured they were 100% comfortable and loved during her stay. She sent plenty of pictures and updates every day, so I was always at peace knowing both dogs were doing great. My doggies were extremely happy and content upon my return, and our house was exactly how we left it! Aliyah is top-tier and can handle complex situations. I highly recommend her and will be using her again.”
“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!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, from larger breeds like Rottweilers and Mastiffs to smaller dogs like Chihuahuas, so I’m very comfortable handling different sizes and personalities. My love for animals has always been a big part of who I am I truly believe dogs are a human’s best friend and deserve genuine care, patience, and attention. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience and gentleness they may need, which is something I truly enjoy. I’ve adopted several older dogs from shelters, so I’m very familiar with the level of care, consistency, and compassion it takes to make them feel safe and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate consistent time throughout the day for walks, feedings, and check-ins. I’m able to plan my day around each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning, midday, or evening care. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making pets feel comfortable in any environment. In a client’s home, I respect their routine and follow directed protocol, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific care needs, so the pet feels secure and stress-free. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision while keeping their space clean and safe.
“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!”
“Mia did such an amazing job with Milo and Theo. She was prompt with responding to my messages and communicating if she was running late. My Theo got an upset tummy and she was proactive to communicate with me and give him some medicine I had in the house. I came back and my home was how I left it any boys were happy to see me. I would definitely book with her again.”
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.
“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!”
“Milendi is wonderful! We were just visiting town for a couple of days and she made it so easy for us to get out for dinner and Biltmore explorations without having to worry about our pup being lonely.”
About: Animals have always been my passion, and I've dedicated both my education and career to caring for them. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Animal Sciences and have experience working with animals in a variety of professional settings. My background includes emergency veterinary medicine, where I learned to stay calm under pressure and recognize signs of illness or distress. I've also worked in a dairy cattle science laboratory, on a working farm, and in large animal care at Zoo Miami, giving me experience with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I currently work full-time at Royal Vet in Miami Beach, where I continue to expand my knowledge of animal health and welfare. My experience allows me to provide attentive, knowledgeable care, whether your pet needs medication, extra patience, or simply lots of love and playtime. I understand that every pet is unique, and I treat each one as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away, giving you peace of mind that they're in experienced and caring hands. Caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life. I work full-time at a veterinary hospital, so my days revolve around animal health and well-being. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Whether it's morning walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy building trust with every pet I care for. My schedule allows me to dedicate quality time to pet sitting before and after work, on weekends, and on my days off. I know that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always strive to keep their schedule as consistent as possible. In my client's home, I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while making sure pets receive plenty of love, enrichment, and attention. I keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for. With my background in veterinary medicine and animal sciences, I'm comfortable recognizing changes in a pet's behavior or health and can respond appropriately if any concerns arise. Above all, my goal is to create a calm, safe, and stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable while their owners are away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pinewood
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!!
Blas was super helpful in taking care of my dog post op. He had recently had surgery on his hip. I couldn’t leave him alone without him opening up the stitching . Vlad was very gentle with Ari and took great care of him while I was away. I would totally recommend Blas even if your pet is perfectly healthy. Thank you!
Frederick stayed at our house to watch my senior Doberman over the Fourth of July weekend. My dog has mobility issues, anxiety, needs frequent potty breaks, and requires a lot of hands-on care. The love, patience, and affection Frederick showed him went far beyond our expectations and anything we've experienced with previous pet sitters. Frederick was always quick to respond, very respectful, and followed all of our instructions carefully, including giving multiple medications. He also took great care of our home and left everything clean and tidy. I honestly can't recommend Frederick enough. Knowing my dog was so well cared for gave us so much peace of mind, and I wouldn't hesitate to have him stay with him again.
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!!!
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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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!
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 $74.9 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,126 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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
