“Maggie was awesome. She stayed at our house for over a week and did a great job caring for our dog & 4 cats. Usually our pets seem a little on edge when we get back from trips (with boarding & drop in sitters) but they are all calm and content. She left our house in good shape & even washed the sheets before she left!!”
About: Hello! I am back to pet sitting, after taking a 3 year absence. I took on a driving position within the private sector, but have realized that taking good care of pets, is my passion. I have 14 years of personal experience watching my dog grow up, play, eat treats and sleep like a baby. I love him fully and unconditionally. He's the best! I am a very caring and loving person that would take great care of your dog. If he or she needs medicine given, I can provide that as well. I am a reliable, honest, and trusting friend, daughter and sister to those that I care about. I have been a dog lover since I was 5 years old. I treat my dog like he's a part of the family. I feel I would be a great dog sitter for your needs, and will provide excellent service to your dog. I am loyal and dependable to a fault. Sincerely, Sue I can provide the care and attention that your fur baby wants/needs. am available Sunday thru Saturday. I look forward to the opportunity to take excellent care of your pet(s). I was a great mom to my 14 year old male, who passed in June of 2021. I am a very caring, attentive and kind person, that love dogs!
“Jennifer is so sweet and my boys loved her. She took the time to read all my notes and kept us informed on how they were and what they did together. She pays attention to the little details. The dogs warmed up to her pretty quickly and I know they miss her! I hope she will be available for us again!”
“Anna was beyond amazing! She watched my dog for a week while I was out of town and was very communicative, checking in with me every day and sending photos and videos. I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her and am so excited to have found Anna so she can help watch my pup again in the future! I can’t recommend her enough!! :)”
“Danielle was fantastic! We have two pups that have some trust issues, but they quickly warmed up to Danielle. Our pups appreciated her calm and confident attitude. We will definitely rebook!”
“Jennifer did a phenomenal job with our quite nervous, shy Corgi. Our dog became comfortable with her on the first visit and she followed all instructions explicitly. I would definitely recommend her and will use her services again. She seems to really enjoy caring for animals and is very conscientious.”
“Ashlyn did a fantastic job! She took excellent care of my dog and cat and they were very happy and content when we got home. The house was in excellent condition. We will be using Ashlyn often! I can’t thank her enough for the wonderful job that she did!”
“OMG! Jamie came through for us at the last minute when our travel plans were disrupted by Southwest Airlines. She handled the situation and our German Shepard well beyond anything we could have expected!! We highly recommend her!!! Thank you, thank you Jamie!!!!”
About: I have had dogs in my family since I was little and adopted a little tuxedo cat two years ago. I have worked for various humane societies and watched family and friends pets for the past 8 years. Happy to watch dogs or cats! I will be available full-time from June through early August, so pet care will be a central part of my daily routine. With a very flexible schedule, I’m able to prioritize each pet’s unique needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just providing companionship. I'm committed to giving pets consistent attention and care throughout the day and adapting to any specific routines they may already have. I focus on maintaining the pet’s regular routine in a safe and friendly environment, which helps reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication, or just spending quality time together. I also make sure to keep the home tidy and follow any specific instructions the owner provides.
“I'm extremely pleased with the overall care that Erin provided my two kitties while I was away on vacation. Erin was super communicative throughout her stay and I really appreciated the pictures and updates. She provided medication administration for one of my cats twice a day and followed my instructions for both cats perfectly. She truly allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worrying about anything back home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent sitter and look forward to booking her for future stays!”
About: I worked at a kennel for a year growing up and consistently volunteered at animal friends. In Pittsburgh I had a small pet sitting business within my neighborhood. I have taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles, hedgehogs, guinea pigs and birds. I’m between jobs currently so I have a lot of availible time. Would love to go on some walks during the day or explore some parks. Otherwise just spending time with the pet! I would follow all instructions set by the owner for keeping the pet safe in their home, yard or area. My neighborhood is very walkable and there is green space around if that is an option
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life! I’ve had Oliver (frenchie) since he was a puppy, so I’m used to everything from training to daily routines. He requires allergy medication, which means I’m comfortable giving meds and paying close attention to a dog’s needs. I also frequently care for my family’s three dogs (two Frenchies and an English bulldog), so I’m great at handling multiple pups and making sure each one gets the attention they deserve. I’m currently working 3rd shift, so if you’re needing someone in the morning to let out your furry pet I can! Or if you want someone home all day with your pet, that works perfect for me as well! I can do walks during the days (after a little nap). I would say I’m pretty flexible if told ahead of time! I live in an apartment and do have a dog named Oliver. Oliver pretty much gets along with other dogs! If you’d rather your dog not be around another, I’d be more than willing to stay with your pets! My cousin would love watching my dog. I love meeting new fur babies and would love to help whenever I can with whatever you need!
“Emma watched Sadie while we were away for a day. She was communicative when needed, did everything we asked of her, and even stayed a little while extra to comfort Sadie when Sadie was afraid of fireworks going off outside. Sadie was cared for and in good spirits when we returned. We would happily book Emma again!”
About: I have been petting sitting on my own for several years for friends and neighbors. Word has continued to get out, about how great everyone’s experience was from top to bottom so I thought I’d make a go at it here! I am a PATH certified CTRI working with equines and vulnerable populations. I currently train and handle our horse herd there and am a very confident and gentle equestrian, but firm when needed. This translates well to pet sitting often as animals have a way of knowing who they can trust and I’m patient enough to give them the space to figure that out. I currently work part time for a non-profit working w horses and vulnerable populations. I am a riding instructor and photography coordinator. It’s a dream job w a lot Of flexibility currently for me to add in side work I do not currently offer services in my home but have cared for animals in others homes. I understand how important it is to read body language and respect others space and time
About: Hi there! I’m a dedicated pet lover and pet parent to one Italian Greyhound and a few cats who keep me on my toes—they can be a little needy at times, but I make sure everyone is well cared for and on a good routine. I know how important it is to feel confident your pets are safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just curling up for some quiet company, I take the time to match their energy and routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. I approach every pet with patience and awareness, paying attention to their personality, comfort level, and needs. Some pets want lots of interaction, others prefer space—and I respect that. My goal is always to create a calm, consistent environment where they can feel secure. I also prioritize communication, so you can expect regular updates and photos while you’re away. I come with trusted references available upon request, and I prefer to meet you and your pets ahead of time to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. At the end of the day, I want your pets to feel relaxed, cared for, and as close to their normal routine as possible. My day to day full time job is flexible. In most cases I write my own schedule each day. I will have a pretty open and flexible schedule to accommodate pet sitting, pet walking, etc. Always making sure the pet is in a safe surrounding. When let outside if fenced in, walk with the dog still. I also have a pet AirTag I bring with me when pet walking as a backup precaution to help locate the pet quicker in the case of an emergency.
“Amy did an excellent job staying at our home for nine nights to care for our large dog Joey and our cat Quincy. She sent daily updates about each animal and responded quickly to any communication from us. Our animals seemed happy when we returned and our home was neat and clean. We highly recommend Amy!”
“Mia did amazing with our dogs. They are sensitive and tend to have high anxiety when things change. Upon coming home there were no accidents and the dogs approached us as if nothing happened, meaning, she loved them and tended to them in the same mannor we would. She also gave the same love to our bearded dragon. Thank you so much for stepping in while we can step out!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Amlin is $48

Jamie has always been a great sitter for us! She genuinely cares and has fun with our pets while we’re away. She makes sure to read & follow all the instructions we leave, and keeps us informed with lots of pictures. She even washed the sheets and towels and remade the bed before heading out, which she definitely didn’t have to do! All in all would definitely recommend Jamie as a pet / house sitter if you are looking for someone kind, communicative, and responsible!
Paula and Kaidy did a wonderful job with Max and Laney my kitty. I received photo updates of walking and playing and information daily aput how they were doing at home. Made it so much easier to be away from them. MY home home was safe in their presence. Clean and tidy upon my return. Happy to make their acquantance!! Would not hesitate to use Paula again. She is very friendly and responsive.

FAQs for House Sitting - Amlin
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Amlin on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 1,483 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Amlin. 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 Amlin 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 Amlin 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 Amlin 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.

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.
