“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!”
“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!”
“We are so grateful to Brian! He took amazing care of all of our animals, and our house was spotless when we got home. He also identified and cleared up a rash on our dog’s belly, which was wonderful, I’d been trying to treat him with food adjustments for weeks! Brian kept us up to date with photos and we are pretty sure our dogs had a better vacation than we did!”
“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.”
“Maycee was fabulous! She took great care of our two fur babies and went above and beyond for their care. She was very communicative and quick to respond. Even went a step further and had the linens cleaned and house was clean when we arrived home!”
“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.”
“Sam, Brianna's husband, was awesome. He was friendly, warm, and did a great job keeping us informed. Pretzel was sad that we were gone and I appreciate that Sam didn't try to sugarcoat it. He was honest about my dog missing us and not eating or playing. I would definitely use Sam again.”
“Maddie was awesome!! We previously had a bad experience with rover so I was skeptical to use rover again but Maddie followed all of our instructions carefully and made sure to not leave our dogs more than 6 hours (which we had discussed). She sent photos every day and was very responsive. We already have her booked to have her watch our dogs again when we leave for a longer period of time because we trust she will take good care of them. Thank you, Maddie!!”
“Jason is a fantastic sitter! His calm and caring demeanor was exactly what my Rottweiler needed. Jason provided regular pictures and updates, and always responded quickly to my messages. I will be contacting Jason when I need a house sitter in the future!”
“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 is great! She took great care of our dog and cat. She kept our house clean and how we left it. Very communicative before and during her time watching them! Our boys were well taken care of and allowed us to enjoy our weekend away!”
“Morgan was amazing - daily updates and pictures - arrived to a clean home - and most importantly, my dog was happy and well exercised when I got home! I will definitely use Morgan again! She even sent me pictures of my flowers that bloomed while I was away!”
“Tori was fanatastic! Very prompt communication and completely dependable. Sent pictures and updates of our dog so we knew he was enjoying himself and being kept on his usual routine. We felt very confident leaving our lab and home in her hands. Will recommend and use again!”
“Ion was very good with our Louie! He was communicative and kept us updated with pictures of their adventures. It’s not uncommon for Louie to stop eating his food. Ion noticed this and made him a doggie pizza to encourage him to eat and it worked! Louie loves to see Ion and is always happy in his company. Louie is an anxious dog but seems happy and content with Ion. He leaves our home clean and just the way we left it. We would recommend his services to anyone!”
“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!”

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!

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 7,170 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in The Pinery. On Rover:
- 92% 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.
