  Note that The pin it button is JavaScript and cannot be used on WordPress.COM hosted blogs.

  We WordPress.COM hosted bloggers are unable to access metadata on WordPress.COM blogs and insert anything at all into the <header>. http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/ Our WordPress.com hosted blogs, unlike WordPress.ORG installs which are each free standing, share a common architecture. Hence, what you ask for can only be done on a WordPress.ORG install. Read the differences here please http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Added information:
  The follow the Pinterest Site Verification instructions provided in the support docs which are all at http://support.wordpress.com
  Go to http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/#pinterest-site-verification

  Go to Dashboard > Sharing please and use this guide http://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/#customize-your-services to enable a sharing icon so it will display under each post.

  Be aware that there is a browser add-on visitors can use to pin images.

  Hi there,

  The “Pin it” hover button has been added! It now gets auto-enabled if you have connected Pinterest in Settings > Sharing and selected the “Official buttons” option for button style setting.
