“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.”
“Blyth made my trip out of town a dream come true for my dog and me! The meet and greet was great and allowed time to check out the property and get a feel for my dog’s behaviors and needs, and Blyth was super respectful of my home and Dulce’s schedule. She also has great experience and great energy with dogs. Blyth sent great photos and updates as well, which really was excellent for peace of mind while I was in an out of cell coverage. Would love to work with Blyth again!”
“Brian is amazing! Both our dogs love having him walk them and house sit for us. He is very attentive to them and love the belly scratches! Will definitely be using Brian again when we need a sitter or walker.”
“I will absolutely be using Aislyn again to watch my dogs. The dogs loved her and she communicated with texts and photos. I highly recommend her for your dog care needs!”
“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!”
“Jessica was a wonderful Dog Sitter and cared so much for our little girl. She’s gentle and loving. A wonderful person for pets. Look forward to using her again as our Dog Sitter. Thank you, Jessica.”
“Bryce was the perfect sitter for a week away. He stayed in my home for 7 nights and was diligent about sending pictures and updating us. He did a lot of preparation before his stay: a meetup beforehand, a walkthrough of the home, and asked detailed questions about taking care of my pup. He was also very respectful of the house and even vacuumed and took out the trash before leaving (which was not required!). Impressed is an understatement. I’ve already hired him again for a weekend away next month. Highly recommend.”
“Erica took good care of Thor and was respectful of our home. She was very communicative and shared pictures of Thor on a daily basis. We would definitely like Erica to stay with Thor again.”
“George was a life saver for us. Our dog received an eye injury 2 days before our trip requiring him to wear a cone and get eye drops twice a day. George handled this well along with giving our dog his regular medications. We would absolutely recommend George. He left our home very clean and took excellent care of our dog.”
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
“Nathan was fantastic with my dog. My dog can be reactive with other dogs and I'm particular about his care/environment, but I could tell Nathan went above and beyond familiarizing himself with my dogs needs and set up. They seemed to have bonded and my dog got new experiences and adventures! He left my home clean and was considerate in all interactions. I'm glad to have found Nathan for my dog and will book again.”
“Conrad was great with Myla! He took her on her daily walks, played with her outside, and was very attentive to her needs. Myla can be reactive and has a range of different temperaments, and Conrad did a great job handling her and making sure she was comfortable and well cared for. We really appreciated his communication and care while we were away. Highly recommend! 😊”
“Calli is the best! She’s watched our pup Odie twice now. Odie immediately took to Calli and just loves her. Our house is always exactly as we left it. Definitely recommend!”
“Emma was absolutely amazing! We had her watch Smokey during our wedding. He can be a little rambunctious but she did a great job and she was so flexible. We could tell she cared about our boy and wanted him to feel comfortable. Would highly recommend her!!”
About: Over 10 years of experience watching and taking care of not only my own animals, but others! I have always had a passion for animals of all sizes and breeds! I own my own business where I can make my own schedule! I can make plenty of time to take care of any needs your pet may have! Pets are always considered a part of my family. They’re welcomed on all furniture and beds. I do have a doggie door and a secure fence so if I am away from the house, they will always have access to the outdoors. I can always close the doggie door up if needed or preferred. I have a five year-old golden retriever. His name is Tahoe. He loves other animals of all sizes and ages. Depending on what you’re comfortable with, I can offer dog walks, dog parks, hiking in the summer. I can assure you, they will be very well loved and taken care of! My Golden is like my child and I can assure you were animal will be treated just the same

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - The Pinery
Wonderful person, wonderful dog sitter!! Loves dogs, so compassionate! Communicates well, updated us while we were gone on a regular basis. Sent photos and notes about our dog daily! So grateful! Our home was well-cared for as well. We’ll ask Blyth to dog sit again without reservation (thank you, Blyth!!).
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!)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in The Pinery is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $83 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 7,108 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 , 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.
