“Patrick did an outstanding job caring for our dog and home. He was attentive, responsible, and kept us well-informed with great communication throughout. Our dog was clearly well cared for, and we returned to a spotless house. We would not hesitate to book him again and highly recommend him to others.”
“Lily was an absolute gem of a house sitter for us while on vacation. I was immediately struck by her level of care and commitment to my furry family. She was timely, communicative, and overall a superstar with superb attention to detail. She handled four animals (two cats, two dogs) without any hesitation. Our geriatric cat who requires multiple medications and special food can be intimidating, but Lily took care of her like a champ. I could not have been more impressed with the service she provided, and I will DEFINITELY be booking with Lily again in the future.”
“Tamakia was absolutely an amazing sitter for our fur babies! She kept us up to date with everything and sent us pictures/videos and went above an beyond what she needed to do. We did not have to worry about them not even one time. We definitely will be getting her again to watch them!!!”
“Rachel was a wonderful in-home dog sitter. In addition to being a perfect house guest, she was so kind and caring to my senior pup. She was communicative and left everything in perfect order. Ziggy says he would highly recommend her and would give her 6 stars if he could!”
“Sandra is INCREDIBLE. I am so incredibly happy we found her for our first trip away from our pets in 3 years. She came over prior and arrived early before we left for the airport to go over everything thoroughly. We have 3 dogs (one senior, one young and high energy, and one 12 week old puppy), 6 chickens (1 that needs oral medication twice a day), and 2 other birds. She sent me updates frequently and was very communicative. We have a Ring camera outside and it was clear that our dogs loved her by their wagging tails. We got photo and video updates as well. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Salem was an amazing choice! It was my first time having someone stay in the house to care for my pets. But he put me completely at ease. Took such good care of the babies. We have pretty specific care instructions, and he followed them to a T. He spent so much time with them. He was very communicative. He left the house immaculate. I would 10/10 use him again. If you're looking for a trustworthy amazing sitter for your pets! Salem is your person!”
“Truly the best and most caring sitting we’ve had from rover (and we have had a lot of great sitters from rover too!) always sent pictures and detailed updates that made us feel so at ease.”
“Rachel did a great job with our dogs. They had a good time with her, and she communicated regularly with us. She also left our house in good shape. We’ll definitely contact her again.”
“Andrew did a great job with my nervous little 5 month old pup! He sent lots of pictures and updates and was overall very accommodating and reassuring! It made me feel a lot better about leaving my puppy with a sitter :)”
“Michael was so amazing with our dog & cat. He sent us lots of pictures of our fur babies while we were away, took our dog on walks, for car rides & administered her daily medication. Michael was so flexible & understanding of my obsessive dog mom requests. We are so grateful to have had his help & will absolutely be having him sit for us again!”
About: I have had 3 dogs of my own! An Australian Cattle Dog Mix, a Basenji mix, and a working line large breed German Shepherd, which I helped train in obedience to be an SD. My dogs always had scheduled potty breaks and playtime. My job is to make sure your pet has the best time while keeping boundaries/respecting their space, ensuring their safety, and following your expectations of care. I am comfortable with any amount of shedding and the size of your pet. I can especially ease my interaction with pets that are scared and anxious, as through training my own dog, I am better at picking up the dog’s body language and only engage in physical contact if the pet’s body language consents. If you have an aggressive pet, please notify me beforehand. I do not guarantee I will agree to care for them, but I am interested in scheduling a first meeting if possible. Note: I do not drink/smoke, so your loved one will never be affected by second-hand smoke or inappropriate behavior. I am very available on the weekends and by the afternoon on weekdays. If you need morning care, please reach out and I will see if I can accommodate! My pets are routinely groomed and freshened. Everytime they come inside after heavy play, I clean their body from head to toe with pet friendly wipes. I use a brush that helps with shedding and smoothing out hair. Their teeth gets brushed every 2 weeks. I check their ears for dirt routinely and the inside of their paws for any injuries or cracking from dryness.
“Traisaun is great with all of our pups. He gets them plenty of exercise and attention (and they are all very needy for attention, so that’s no easy task). He also does a great job with any medications they have! You can trust both your animals and your house to Traisaun! (we always use him for overnight stays when he is available)”
“Evan was great! Very good with handling Delilah and providing updates on her as well as not being afraid to ask clairfying questions for things I forgot to mention in her care plan”
“D'Aujanae did a wonderful job housesitting on my vacation! The pets were all happy and healthy on return, and she was able to extend a day when our flight got delayed for 24 hours. Will be looking to book her again the next time we all go out of town!”
“Sydney was great with Klaus. She was very good with communication and handled tracking down the dreaded low battery smoke detector. We would definitely use her again.”
“Ja’Vae was a terrific sitter. My fogs were calm and happy while I was away. She sent plenty of pictures and took good care of the home. I would hire her again.”
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: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always come naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve worked with many rescue dogs, each with their own unique personalities, and I’ve loved helping them feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently work at a dog boarding kennel, where I care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments every day. From playful puppies with endless energy to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra patience and TLC, I’m comfortable meeting each pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone to cuddle with, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own, with plenty of affection, patience, and personalized care. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups and entertain your kitties! I am open for boarding and house sitting on weekends. I will give your pets the same level of attention and care that I give my own. My goal is always to follow your preferences and routine so your pet feels secure and understood. With your guidance/ set rules I will do everything I can to keep your animals comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Braddock
Allayna was AMAZING! Super communicative & friendly. We have an anxious pup that can get a bit growly and she handled him flawlessly! We get super nervous leaving him with anyone but we knew he was well taken care of with her! And she gave our other pup all the attention she demands! Would book Allayna over & over again!
Savannah and Silas took amazing care of my dog, Charlie, a 13-year old Goldendoodle, for 10 days while I was on a family trip overseas. This was the first time Charlie has been left overnight with anyone but family, so I was nervous. Savannah and Silas sent multiple updates a day, videos, and lots of fun pics, so I was always informed about how Charlie was doing. Charlie is a senior dog who takes medication and has dietary restrictions, and Savannah and Silas were excellent with his meds and making sure Charlie maintained his special diet. They were terrific asking questions about Charlie's needs and responding to them, and inquired about whether my flight home was on time in case they needed to take care of Charlie. I think Charlie had more fun with them than when I'm home lol as he got to spend time on the porch watching birds and passersby. As a bonus, the house looked great when I returned home from my trip. I highly recommend Savannah and Silas for trustworthy, caring, dependable, and highly communicative pet- and home-sitting.
Elise did a great job caring for our cat, Sujuk, while we were out of town! We received twice a day updates with photos, which made us feel at ease and confident that Sujuk was in good hands. When we arrived home, the house was well-cared for and Sujuk was in good spirits. We would definitely hire Elise again in the future!
We had an excellent experience with Julie and would highly recommend her. Her communication was outstanding from start to finish, and we appreciated the daily photos and updates that kept us informed and reassured while we were away. Julie was punctual, dependable, and clearly cared for our dog as if it were her own. We also returned to a spotless home, which was such a wonderful bonus after traveling. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Julie again!
Unique was the first time we hosted a guest in our own home to watch our pets and she did an amazing job. Definitely will be rebooking more as my schedule gets busy. Definitely recommend, loved to be active loves to go on multiple outdoor adventures and keeps pets busy and safe. 10/10

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 Braddock 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 Braddock 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 Braddock 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!

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 .
