“I can’t say enough good things! He was super communicative from start to finish and followed all of Jayda’s medication directions perfectly. Since she’s a senior dog who needs a lot of extra help, I really appreciated the way he went above and beyond to keep her comfortable and help her get around. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Definitely booking with him again — highly recommend!”

I pay close attention to their behavior and make sure they always have fresh water, a clean space, and lots of supervision. In a client’s home, I respect their home and follow all care instructions exactly while keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, or companionship. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so I make sure every pet gets the time, care, and attention they deserve while keeping their routine as consistent as possible.

About: Growing up owning a dog (mini schnauzer) and now a cat, I was able to learn all of the important things that go along with pet care from a young age. As a Girl Scout, I spent countless hours volunteering my time at the humane society. I enjoyed my afternoons showing those lovely animals all my love and affection. I was looking for a job to do over the summer before college and discovered Rover! I am a huge animal lover and am free to watch any of your cute loveable pets any day of the week! I just graduated Harvard University and am available during my gap year to watch your pets in the Miami area. I will treat all of your pets with the upmost love and care. Spending time with animals is something that brings me so much joy!

About: I’ve always been a helping hand when it comes to caring for pets, and family and friends have trusted me to watch their dogs whenever they needed someone reliable. I’m dependable, communicative, and adapt well to different pets and environments even snakes! Joining Rover felt like the perfect opportunity to provide that same level of care to pet owners outside of my own circle. I’m currently working part-time, so I have flexibility in my schedule to give your pets plenty of attention and care. I’m available for pet sitting and boarding on weekends, as well as weekdays before 4 p.m. My schedule may adjust once school starts, but I’ll always make sure to communicate my availability clearly. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines and any instructions they provide. I make sure pets are fed, have access to water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and are taken outside or given opportunities to use the restroom as needed. I’m very attentive to their needs and will communicate with the owner if anything seems unusual or if they need anything extra.

Additionally, I make sure to give each pet individual attention and affection, catering to their specific needs and routines.

My goal is to provide a loving and nurturing home away from home for the pets in my care.

“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.”

“Mary went above and beyond to take good care of my kitty Cleo while I traveled. She was extremely kind, professional, and happy to come meet my girl before we booked. Cleo is shy and a bit anxious with new people, but Mary had a very gentle approach and was able to quickly gain her trust. During the house sitting stay, she stayed in close touch with updates on Cleo’s eating, mood, and playtime. It was amazing to have peace of mind that she was clearly happy and comfortable with Mary. She also left my apartment spotless (better than she found it)! She’s a wonderful caretaker and I’d recommend her for any pet care. Thank you so much!!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets—from high-energy puppies who need structure and play, to older pets who require a gentler touch and maybe a bit of extra care. I’m patient, responsible, and always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so it fits naturally into my routine. Whether it’s starting the day with a walk, popping in for midday visits, or winding down with a cuddle session—I make time for it because it doesn’t feel like work. I plan my schedule around giving pets the attention they need and love being part of their day-to-day. In my home, pets have a calm, cozy space where they’re treated like family—lots of attention, play, and comfy spots to relax. I keep their routines as consistent as possible, from feeding to walks to bedtime. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and their pet’s routine just as carefully. I make sure everything stays clean, safe, and stress-free, and I always keep communication open with regular updates and photos.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pinewood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Pinewood is $82 per night as of October 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 October 2026, there are 4,186 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 , 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.

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.
