“Steve was wonderful! He was flexible with our schedule and kept us updated on our pets while we were away. I definitely recommend him and hopefully will have him watch our pets again soon!”
“This was our first time having Patrick watch our dogs and stay at our home, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From the start, Patrick proved to be reliable, responsible, and genuinely caring. He took great care of our dogs—not just covering the basics, but making sure they were comfortable, happy, and sticking to their normal routine. It gave us a lot of confidence knowing they were in such good hands. He also did an outstanding job taking care of our home. Everything was kept clean, organized, and exactly how we left it. It’s not easy trusting someone in your space for the first time, but Patrick made it completely stress-free. Communication was excellent throughout. We received regular updates and photos, which made it easy to relax while we were away. For a first experience, this couldn’t have gone any better. We highly recommend Patrick and will absolutely be using him again in the future.”
“Michael is a great babysitter. He makes sure he is super attentive with them and communicative with the parents. He let Hercules sleep in the bed with him. That was so nice. Thanks michael”
“Plachette did a wonderful job caring for our dogs! She provided regular updates, sweet pictures and videos, was reliable and made me feel very comfortable that our pups were getting good care while we were away. I would recommend her to any dog owner!”
“Christina was the perfect dog sitter. She provided consistent updates on our dog, showed him love, and took wonderful care of our home. We will be using her services again! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Emma did a wonderful job house/pet sitting for us for 10 days! She kept in constant contact with us and sent us pictures of our fur babies. She was very flexible and even stayed at the house longer when our flight was delayed. One of our cats unexpectedly needed to have medicine while we were gone and she did a great job making sure she got her medicine two times per day. We will definitely have Emma house/pet sit for us again! Thank you Emma!”
About: My family has had pets since before I was born! I’ve helped care for critters from cats, dogs, rodents, fish, and even reptiles (all of varying ages and needs) for most of my life. They truly are our family, so I take very seriously the needs and comfort of your pets. Respect, Kindness, and Reliability are what I’m all about! I work in a Retail setting, so the shifts vary. But I am confident we’ll be able to configure a satisfactory schedule for the care of your pets! I offer my care in your home! I am absolutely willing to stay over, if the particular case warrants it. I will make your babies feel as comfortable as possible during your time away!
About: I've cared for dogs since I was young and have handled dogs both large and small. I've cared for cats since 2019, I am newer to them technically, but I love how different they can be. I run my own business, so making my own hours allows me a lot of wiggle room on doing check-ins or rearranging my day to allow for walks. My home is a temple to good vibes and my happy lil buddies (Sprout and Tansy) get along with everyone they've met so far.
“Our Newf Ted loved his time with Beatriz and Hayden. They were wonderful companions for Ted and great houseguests. We’d highly recommend them and hope they can watch Ted in the future.”
“Great communication from start to finish! Our home was well cared for, and our normally anxious were calm and happy when we returned. I was at ease knowing they were in good hands and everything was under control.”
About: Although I do not currently have pets of my own, I have always loved animals and have been the go-to pet sitter for friends and colleagues since moving back to Pittsburgh in 2019. I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from quick check-ins to longer stays. Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible and I can provide consistent care, attention, and updates while you are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and your home, so I try to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. Since I do not have pets of my own, I genuinely enjoy getting to care for other people’s pets like they are part of my extended family. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I can provide pet care during the day, in the evenings, and on weekends depending on the booking. Because I can work from different locations, I’m able to spend quality time with pets during house sitting stays and provide consistent check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, and updates. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable with their usual routine, space, food, toys, and schedule. I always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding, medication, walks, litter care, crate routines, and any house rules. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I prioritize communication, safety, and calm, attentive care. I’ll also send updates so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.
About: Hello! My name is Maya and I am an animal lover! I volunteered at a local animal shelter and was promoted to a volunteer coordinator there due to my dedication to caring for the animals searching for their fur-ever homes. During my time at the shelter I have administered medication, walked dogs twice my size, and have cleaned up far too many bad smelling liquids for one person alone. I am comfortable doing whatever may be necessary to ensure your pet is well taken care of and happy. You can be worry free if your pet is with me! I’m currently in graduate school online, so my schedule is flexible. I have the time to give your pet all the time and attention they need! I strive to make your pet as comfortable and happy as possible! I understand boundaries and that some pets need time to open up and am more than willing to give them that time.
About: Hello I love children and animals! I love taking care of dogs and watching them get excited as you walk in the door or as the leash comes out and they know it's time to go! They bring joy to your heart as they explore their world either playing, sniffing or just enjoying their walk. I engage your dog with whatever their interests are: favorite toy, ball, running or playing hide and seek! I also can be calm and affectionate with your elderly dog and just do potty breaks and supply cuddles and love. I like to know your dogs normal routine so I can make them as happy as possible during my visit with them. All fur babies receive unconditional cuddles and love from me! I work as a nanny part time and do pet care Services part time. I enjoy spending my time providing care for others when needed. I will take care of you animal(s) as you have instructed. Let them out on a potty break and give them time to explore. Make sure they have fresh food and water and then give them playtime and cuddles if they allow me to! If I am caring for your cat I will scoop litter give fresh food and water and give them play time and cuddles also if they allow me too!
“Gretchen always does a wonderful job for my boy Comet! She takes great care of him and he's always happy to have a weekend with her when we need a little help from a sitter 😊”

“We had the absolute best experience with Kaylee as our dog and cat sitter! She took such amazing care of our pets and made being away from home completely stress-free. She sent us tons of pictures and regular updates, which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. It was clear from every update that our pets were happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. On top of being wonderful with our pets, Kaylee was incredibly respectful of our home. We came back to the house cleaner and neater than we left it, which was such a pleasant surprise! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would 100% book Kaylee again in a heartbeat! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, communicative, and responsible to watch their pets and home”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,349 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ardara. 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 Ardara 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 Ardara 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Ardara 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.
