“It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience! Ericka sent regular pics and updates. When we got home our dog was happy and content. When we’ve had to use something more like daycare in the past, he just gets really stressed and barely eats. We will be using rover again in the future for sure.”
“Rachel was great with our pup this weekend. She sent pics and took him for plenty of walks. She was accommodating with our requests and as a guest in our house, and MOST importantly spent lots of time with him. This was our first time using this app and having a stranger in our house with our dog… and we’ve already booked Rachel for another stay!”
“Gabbi is the best!! Our dogs are high energy and she was an amazing help in keeping them entertained while we were away. She kept us informed with pictures/texts and she really made us feel more comfortable being away from our fur babies. We would definitely use Gabbi again and would highly recommend to anyone needing a great dog/house sitter!!”
“Matthew stayed at my house with my dog and he did an excellent job. My pup got all his walks in and the comfort of being home. Matthew was responsible and respectful. He communicated clearly and sent pictures throughout the weekend. I hope he is available next time I travel and need sitting services!”
“I had the pleasure of having Hannah stay at our home and spend time with our pup Olive. I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Hannah took great care of Olive, sending me regular updates and photos of their time together. She picked up on Olive’s quirks in no time LOL! I would definitely recommend Hannah to others, we will be reaching out to her again!”
“Lindsay was tremendous. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn't have asked for a better result. Lyndsay was very responsive and flexible with us. She struck up a great relationship with our dog (great pyrenes) Jasmine right away and kept us in the loop everyday. We felt completely at ease with Lindsay and Jasmine loved her. We will definitely be using her services again and I would highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting or care needs.”
About: I have a degree in Zoology so I have a love for and knowledge of how to care for pets of many different species. I personally have had my dog for 16 years and have also had fish and 2 hamsters. I also used to work at a dog daycare so I am used to and very comfortable with dogs of any size. I am also a professional pet flight nanny with Coris Pet Journeys. I’m available for check ins anytime during the weekends and most evenings during the work week. I am also usually available most holidays to watch your furry family members. I will care for your pets just as you would. I always make sure they have fresh water and are given plenty of potty breaks. If they have a certain routine they do every morning/night I will do my best to replicate that so your pet is as comfortable as possible while you are away.
“Lindsey did a lovely job of taking care of our two cats and dog, they were very well looked after and I would highly recommend her! Communication was superb, thank you again!”
“Natalie was extremely responsible and curteous watching over our home and our two pups. She kept us updated with daily pictures and a summary of the girls’ day which was very comforting. We especially appreciated her flexibility to stay another night when our flight home was canceled. We definitely recommend Natalie and will call on her again!”
“Kamryn is the MVP of dog/house sitting!!!!! Trust me, you want her to watch your fur babies! We had such ease of mind knowing she was with our FIVE dogs! Kamryn is dedicated, very communicative, clean, and conscientious of caring for our home and pets like her own! We can’t wait to have her back over! Thank you Kamryn for all that you did this week!!!”
“She was amazing, was able to book her last minute and she was very good with communication. She sent photos and videos while she was over watching our dog and even left a note! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again!”
“Our experience with Sydney was great from start to finish. She took the time to understand our dogs’ routines and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout. When we got home, our younger pup kept looking around for her, which really says it all about how comfortable and happy the girls felt. We came back to two relaxed dogs and couldn’t be more grateful. We’d gladly book again and recommend their services.”
“Hannah is responsive and communicated well. She was available on short notice and was able to do a meet and greet prior to watching the gals this weekend. She sent pictures and updates and left the house as she found it.”
“Thank you Katelyn for taking care of our sweet boy while we enjoyed our anniversary trip. We appreciated the updates, cute pics, and having someone to snuggle with Archie while we were gone. Appreciate your help! Archie looks forward to seeing you again sometime soon.”
“Molly was fantastic with our pup while we were on vacation! She was great with providing updates/photos, and we appreciated that she let us know of any concerns she had during her stay. And she left our home spotless. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her sit again for us.”
About: I've always had at least one animal by my side ever since I was an infant. My direct pet care experience includes dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, and fish. (Oh! I also would like to add two honorable mentions.. the toads and frogs I often see around my home. Although, there is no direct care, I like to think I have a relationship with each of them.) I currently have a family Golden Retriever named Sasha. We call her Sushie and Sashimi for short :) I've also have had the gift of being around friends' and families' animals, including goats, chickens, ducks, bunnies, rats, cats, and dogs. Also, I used to volunteer at Animal Friends, which is now called Heal Animal Rescue. It was a great experience being able to care for dogs that didn't have a permanent home or company. Some of the care I gave included cleaning their kennels to ensure that each dog had a healthy environment to live in, exercising with them, ensuring they had fresh food and water, and simply offering them company, especially since their visitors may have been sparse outside of us volunteers and staff. Animals are God's precious creatures. Each and every one is beautiful and created by God. I believe that we have been given the opportunity to steward them well and with love. Thus, it would be an honor and privilege to take care of your precious loved one. My work schedule is partially remote, so I can be available on certain week days during standard 8:30-4 PM work hours. My remote days are currently Mondays and Tuesday. In the evenings and weekends, I can be free too with notice! To ensure the safety of everyone, I request a walk-through of items and places I'd be using at your home prior to care. This may include showing me important things like, how your pet gate opens and closes, how your front door locks, how to administer certain medicine, etc. I appreciate any and all information about the pet and home so that we can all have a lovely experience :)
“We’re very grateful that we were able to find Milica to watch our dog and home for our week-long trip. She was very communicative and considerate and took great care of our diabetic dog, including administering her insulin shots and adjusting the dose based on our communication during the day. Our shy dog warmed up quickly and it’s clear that Milica makes animals feel safe and cared-for.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, and have experience with both small and large dog care. Experience giving medication to dogs. I also enjoy taking dogs for walks.. I currently work part-time, but can arrange pet care around my work schedule. I am a recent high school graduate and will be going to college in the fall, but can be available from time to time to sit. I’m a lifelong dog lover, I’ve never known a time in my life where I haven’t had a dog as a pet. I treat my dogs like my siblings and would do the same for any dog I’m caring for.
“There is no rating high enough for Sarah. From pre-booking to the home visit, to watching our home and our fur babies while we were on vacation, Sarah was amazing. Her situation was unique that in addition to taking care of our adult cats, we asked her to take care of a (somewhat friendly) mama cat and her 5 week old kittens. Sarah graciously offered her time for 24/7 care. And of course, just when we thought all was going smoothly, a hornet appeared in our finished basement which is unusual. This is where mama and babies are located. Then another one appeared - VERY unusual. When the third one appeared, not so far from the kittens, Sarah sprang into action and, together, we figured out a safe solution to draw any potential bees inside the home to outside the home. Sarah was a real trooper and took care of the home and pets like they were her own. No more bees appeared and life returned to “normal”. Well, as normal as can be for a home with cats and kittens. I can vouch for Sarah and she will be our first choice for future house and pet care needs. Sarah is friendly, trustworthy, and an excellent communicator and our fur babies loved her.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Carnegie is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carnegie
Kasey and Alyssa were the best dog sitters I could ever ask for! They checked in, sent daily photos, and were willing to stay an extra night when flight back looked like it might not be making it back. I knew my dog was in good hands with them and I would 100% rebook them!
Chowder and Patrick loved their stay with Rachel! Chowder has become even more obsessed with his favorite toy because Rachel played with him so much! And she made Patrick feel so comfortable he was out and about and snuggly! She was extremely thorough and we felt totally safe leaving our fur babies in her care!
Lindsay was tremendous. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn't have asked for a better result. Lyndsay was very responsive and flexible with us. She struck up a great relationship with our dog (great pyrenes) Jasmine right away and kept us in the loop everyday. We felt completely at ease with Lindsay and Jasmine loved her. We will definitely be using her services again and I would highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting or care needs.
Lindsay is awesome!! This is the second time I have used her for housesitting. She sent pictures and videos of my pup every day, I would definitely recommend using her. We came home to a spotless house after being gone for a week. I really appreciate everything she’s has done.
I am very happy I chose Mamie to dogsit my Rosie for my week long vacation. She sent regular updates about Rosie’s mood, activities and cute little anecdotes, as well as lots of pictures. Besides the updates Mamie was quick to reply to messages and was even so kind as to pick up a refill that Rosie needed. I would definitely rebook her :)
Erika was wonderful! This was the first time she sat for our dogs, and we were so pleased with how it went! She was caring, communicative, professional, and our dogs loved her. We will definitely ask her to sit again. A great experience overall. Thank you, Erika!
Shawnee was so wonderful with our dog Benny. He is an older dog with separation anxiety so we always feel a little nervous leaving him but Shawnee’s excellent communication, kindness and professionalism put us at ease. She followed all of our care instructions and took the time to get to know and meet his needs. I especially appreciated the photos and updates she sent throughout the stay—I could tell he warmed up to her and did well while we were away. We will definitely be using her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Carnegie
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Carnegie on Rover is $32.7 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,498 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Carnegie. 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 Carnegie 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 Carnegie 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 Carnegie 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.
