“Kiera was amazing! We had a mixup with our booking and she happily made it right for us, which we greatly appreciated! She took such great care of our pups and continually sent us videos and pictures! She’s the absolute best!”
“Ashlee took great care of our older dogs, she adjusted to their routine well (including giving medications) and kept me updated daily. I’d recommend her for your fur babies too!”
“Jessica and Michael are so wonderful! I felt at peace when we were away knowing she would take great care of our dog. She took thorough notes when we walked her through the routine and provided updates as we wanted them. You can tell she really loves animals and cares about them while you’re away. Definitely will be using them again!”
“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!”
“Maycee took great care of Jupiter. He doesn’t like many people but he loved Maycee. That told me how good she is with dogs. She sent me the cutest pictures of him while we were gone. I will definitely be using Maycee again.”
“Jessica exceeded our expectations as a pet sitter! We loved having her watch our pups. As an experienced dog owner herself, she provided exceptional care for our dogs. Throughout her stay, she kept us well-informed with regular updates on how our dogs were doing each day. We loved that! She took them on neighborhood walks, treated them to snacks, and played with them with their favorite toys. She fulfilled every request we made but consistently went above and beyond our expectations. She earned our highest rating, and we would recommend her services to anyone seeking a reliable pet sitter or dog walker.”
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.
“Jackson was so attentive and took great pride in caring for Rocky. Also, our flight from London was cancelled and the day after this booking expired, he stayed the extra night and gave me such peace of mind I wasn’t scrambling t find a different person, family/friends to help. Can’t thank you enough for your great care. Also was very responsible while staying in our home.”
“We were away for two weeks and Blyth stayed at our house for the 2nd time. She is amazing. She had a devastating family emergency come up while we were away and she never even considered leaving early. She goes above and beyond and our 8 month old springer adores her. We were comfortable he was loved on and in great hands.”
“Elisabeth was an awesome sitter for Murphy. He loved all the extra attention he received. Elisabeth was easy to work with and followed all the instructions for the house and Murphy’s care. I highly recommend her and would book with her again.”
About: I have experience caring for all kinds of pets, from horses and cats to energetic dogs. I’m patient, caring, and always make sure each pet gets plenty of love and attention. I currently work part-time, so my availability varies throughout the week. I’m happy to work around my job schedule and will communicate my availability clearly. I’m especially available on my days off and weekends. I always follow your pet's routine, including feeding, walks, playtime and special instructions. I'll care for your home with respect & make sure your pet feels safe & comfortable while you're away
“Tori was great housesitting Mikko! She was prompt and responsive. She took Mikko on plenty of walks (which is very important for him as a young dog). The house looked awesome when we got home, and Mikko was a happy pup. I will definitely look to book Tori again 😀”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Lauryn provided for Bulka and Stalin while I was away. She truly went above and beyond — sending regular updates, photos, and even doing thoughtful little things I didn’t expect. She followed every single detail I left, and it was clear the dogs loved her from the start. It was such a great experience and gave me total peace of mind. I’ll definitely be using her again. Highly recommended!”
“Brianna was great. We have a new dog - 7 months and the extra time she took to be constituent with him was amazing. It’s nice to travel and not worry about your home or your pets. We’d definitely use her again. We got daily updates and pictures. The house was pretty much as we left it. We hope she’s want to help us again in the e future!”
“Brianna and Sam were awesome! They provided detailed updates and lots of pictures. They gave Atlas lots of attention, walks, and play time. Atlas seemed healthy and happy when we arrived home, and the house was clean. We will definitely book them again!”
“Erica was a wonderful sitter for Bruno! She was extremely communicative throughout the week and sent us pictures of Bruno every day, which we were extremely appreciative of. She also left our house very clean. We will definitely reach out to Erica again for future dog sitting needs!”
“Blake was fantastic taking care of our two dogs while my wife and I were out of the country. We received regular updates throughout our trip and we came back to a clean house and two extremely happy dogs. Thank you again Blake! I'd recommend him to anyone and we'll be looking to book him for future trips.”

Cami and Jesse were great with our pups! They sent photos everyday which was appreciated! Both of our dogs loved them! We were able to relax knowing they were being well taken care of! When we got home, the house was in perfect condition! Will definitely book with them again!
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!)
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
