About: I grew up with all kinds of dogs and have raised several large breed dogs myself. It currently isn’t the right time for me to welcome a new dog into my life full time but I miss having the company. I’m currently working from home so I have lots of flexibility for cuddles, walks and potty breaks. I’m also a runner and happy to take any high energy dogs out for a tour. I do not have a backyard but am close to parks where we can walk. I have space for a dog bed or crate if needed. My neighborhood is dog friendly.
“Ayla & Han took care of our 2 German Shepherds for the weekend and words cannot describe how grateful we are that we found them! They took such great care of our pups, provided amazing photos and updates, and gave so much love to our pups when we were away. They are genuine and trust worthy people. Highly recommended and would definitely be reaching out again.”
“Chloe did such a fantastic job taking care of Bailey for a week over the holidays. She sent lots of photos and updates and even took care of a few things around the house for me. Highly recommend having Chloe take care of your loved one.”
“Elisabeth took great care of our fur babies AND our home! She watered our plants, took out the garbage, and followed the fur baby care to the T! We will definitely book with her again!”
“Rebecca took such great care of my baby! She was very attentive and sent updates along the way. I didn’t have a single worry. She is super kind and my frenchie loves her!”
“Graham was great! She communicated with us and we didn’t feel like we had to worry about our dogs when we were on our trip. They seemed happy and well taken care of when we got home :) Thank you so much Graham!”
“Keira was flexible-she was able to last minute stay an extra night for us. She was very patient and kind with our puppy that can be a jumper and rebellious. We would love to have her watch Charlie again!”
“Blake watched our dogs and house for over two weeks while we were out of the country. He did an amazing job looking after our dogs and our house as well. The house was perfectly clean when we returned and our dogs were in great shape! Can't recommend him enough.”
“Brian took great care of our two kiddos. We had peace of mind knowing they were comfortable at home, getting proper meals and meds. In addition, Brian took them out for daily morning and afternoon walks and provided some training to help build good habits. Our dogs enjoyed his stay. He went above and beyond expectations. Brian left our home immaculate and left a few touches of surprise. We look forward to scheduling with him again soon!”
“Danielle’s communication was amazing-I hadn’t left my new kitty before & she was so patient and reassuring to me. He was in happy spirits, not stressed or dismayed when I got home so I know he was well taken care of. Super grateful for the help but also reassuring communication made my time away so much better.”
“I had a great experience with this dog sitter and would absolutely recommend them. They were incredibly attentive and made sure my dog got plenty of exercise with regular walks and lots of time outside. It was clear they genuinely cared about keeping him happy and comfortable while I was away. Communication was also excellent—they were very responsive and kept me updated, which gave me real peace of mind. I never had to wonder how things were going because they consistently checked in and were quick to reply whenever I reached out.”
“We have senior dogs and a cat that have some very particular needs. Calli did an amazing job with them. She was super attentive, thorough, respectful, and professional. Her communication was great, and she sent pictures every day so we had nothing to worry about. We are very appreciative of everything she did for us!”
“Jordyn did a wonderful job caring for Ollie and Duncan! She gave frequent picture updates and lots of cuddles to our two boys while we were out of town. Looking forward to having her sit the boys again soon!”
“Nathan was so good with our two dogs at our house. He was punctual for our meet and greet and the stay and always texted back right away. Our house was clean and the dogs seemed well loved. We’d book Nathan again!”
“Alyssa was great! She was really responsive and great with asking questions as needed. She left the house in beautiful condition and even vacuumed so we had a less stressful return home. Our girls seemed great on our return and we will for sure be using Alyssa again!”
“India was fantastic with Prince! She stayed with him and gave us all the updates that were necessary. She took very good care of him while we were away. She was also very tidy and cleaned up after herself. You could barely tell that someone stayed in my home! Highly recommend India!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - The Pinery
Miah stayed overnight with our Golden Retriever when we found out we needed to travel to an area exceeding 100 degree temperatures. Our plans changed from driving to flying. Not having a lot of lead time, we relied on Rover’s review reports… and Miah’s reviews were wonderful. Miah was organized, had a truly positive attitude and was affectionate toward our dog. We appreciated the photos and activity updates she sent of our dog, and knew our dog was in good hands. The best part? Coming home to our dog who was happy and playful. Well cared for!! Our review is the same as others… excellent!! (Thank you, Miah!)
Cami and Jessy was absolutely wonderful with Bruno. They gave him so much love and attention, and kept us updated daily with fotos and video clips. They also administrated his medicine with no problems. Our home was spotless when we arrived after two weeks of vacation. I highly recommend Cami and Jessy - you can be sure your pet will be well looked after and care for with love. Thank you!
I’m so happy we found Blyth. We were out of the country for two weeks and were nervous because we have never left our dogs alone for that length of time. Blyth took amazing care of our dogs- she sent daily updates and I could tell the dogs were relaxed and being loved. In fact, when she came over the morning before we left our dogs were excited to see her! That put my mind at ease. Blyth is a natural animal lover and we wouldn’t hesitate to have her house and dog sit for us again. She also took great care of the house while we were gone which was unexpected but greatly appreciated. Thank you again Blyth!

FAQs for House Sitting - The Pinery
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in The Pinery on Rover is $58.27 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 7,193 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across The Pinery. 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 The Pinery 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 The Pinery 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 The Pinery 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
