“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.”
“Ashlee was awesome! This was our first trip using Rover, she came by and did a meet and greet with our dog and set up the booking. She was very communicative, arrived on time (actually a little early to let our dog out!). She made sure he got out on even more walks than normal during her stay, which is important for our young dog, and both he and the house were well taken care of :) We will be booking with Ashlee again.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Brice. My husband and I had to travel to see my father as he’s in hospice and she made us feel so comfortable knowing our two girls were well taken care of. I would recommend Brice over and over, you will find no one better.”
“Wow! This crew was amazing. Steven stayed at our house with the pets and Merilyn was on point for daily communication and photos. I met all three at our meet and greet where we introduced all the pets and showed them around the house. They were very thorough, taking notes and making sure they understood how to best keep the pets in thier routine. When we returned everyone was relaxed and happy. They had lots of outdoor time and naps in the big bed. The house was spotless. I would recommend them to anyone and expect we will use them again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of all my family’s pets since I was 11 - dogs and cats alike, including senior dogs and cats, and puppies. My family currently has two cats and two dogs and I love every second I get with them and would love to show your pets that same love. I recently moved to Colorado from California to start a PA program which does not start until August. I am looking to gain some extra money and taking care of pets is something I love to do. I am living in an apartment with my husband and our 2 year old domestic, medium hair tuxedo cat. He is a mostly indoor cat, but I do take him on walks occasionally. For my family’s dogs, they tend to stay inside but we have a doggy door that gives them easy access to the backyard, where they can relax, play, or use the bathroom.
“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 have a special spot for all animals. For however long it is that I get to watch them, they become an extension of my family. I will do all the things you do, and perhaps then some! Meet me and find out if I’d be a good fit :) I work full time, remote 4/5 days. If you are looking for someone trustworthy to watch your house while you’re away and provide quality time, consistent feedings/medications and outside time, my lifestyle will suit your petsitting needs! I like to leave a place better than I found it, and I prioritize tidying up after I leave so you can return to a clean home.
“We are so thankful Loren was available to watch our dog while we were out of town for the weekend! She was great at responding and sending us pictures/videos during her time watching her. Would recommend hiring Loren and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Ion was prompt and attentive to detail. He stayed with our Lou and made sure he received lots of attention and his walks. He is polite and friendly and left our house clean. We were very happy with the care Ion gave Louie and will definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone.”
“Jordyn was so great and patient with our dog who doesn’t like strangers (and our other two pets who loved her instantly!). We weren’t worried at all leaving them in her care! Thank you, Jordyn!”
“Rebecca is awesome!! We have three large dogs and they were well taken care of with lots of play time while we were away for a few days. Rebecca is communicative and sends lots of pictures with details 💕 Excellent level of care. Thank you, Rebecca!”
“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!”
“Hannah took care of our 11 week old puppy while we were away for 4-5 hours. She was very punctual and professional. Although our puppy is a handful with a lot of energy, she took good care of him, took him out to play and walk and sent a bunch of photos to keep us updated. Would definitely recommend her as a pet sitter.”
“Lauryn took excellent care of our dog + 5 cats and our home for 5 nights. She sent lots of updates and photos and we were completely at ease that our babies were in good hands! Lauryn followed all instructions to a T and we really appreciated the attention to detail.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Bailiegh was an amazing dog sitter! She was attentive, communicative, and always quick to respond. When unexpected road construction blocked access to our home, she immediately called us and worked with us to find a solution without missing a beat. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such capable hands. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided and would absolutely love to use her again in the future.”
“Maycee was fantastic. My dogs were well cared for and she sent daily updates with fun notes and pictures. She checked in to make sure we didn't have any travel issues in case she needed to come back to the house. We'll definitely reach back out for our next trip.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - The Pinery
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 $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 7,188 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.

- 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.
