“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!”


“She gave me the best updates about my boys! I was also worried about my flight getting canceled and she offered to come back and stay the night if it did get cancelled! Absolutely would recommend her!”

“Jacqueline was literally the best sitter for our two pups! This was our first time leaving them with someone & for a long trip. Not one time did I think our boys weren’t getting all the love and attention they needed at home. She sent us pictures everyday, which we absolutely loved because we missed our doggies. Can’t say enough great things about Jacqueline! The dogs hope to see her again in the future! :)”

“Becca is an awesome pet sitter! She immediately attached to our dog who is very nervous and sometimes doesn’t like people. She was so supportive of his needs.”

“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.”

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I strive to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their family is away. My goal is to provide reliable care and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My schedule is very consistent, which allows me to provide reliable care for your pets. During the week, I'm available after 3:30 PM for walks, drop-in visits, and evening care. I also have morning availability on Mondays and Fridays before noon. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or a check-in while you're away, I'll work to provide the care they need and keep them happy and comfortable. When caring for pets, I treat them like members of my own family. I make it a priority to learn each pet's routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable and at ease. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, I provide attentive, personalized care while maintaining the routines they're used to at home. I also keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are happy and in good hands.

About: Hi! I'm a responsible home owner, cat owner and former dog foster mom with a flexible schedule! I grew up with tons of pets, from hamsters to hermit crabs and collies to calicos, so I'm comfortable around a variety of animals. In addition, being a homeowner and cat owner, I know what it takes to care for fur babies and their space while keeping things clean and safe for everyone. I have experience administering medicine to cats, walking large dogs with a Gentle Leader, caring for senior dogs, and keeping kittens/puppies away from harmful areas. I recently left my full-time job and am looking for fulfilling jobs away from the office environment. All this to say, I have open availability and a flexible schedule! I recently left my corporate job and therefore have a pretty flexible schedule. I'm happy to stop in to your home and/or stay there to ensure your pet gets the best hands-on care and attention. Because of having my own two cats, I prefer to care for your pets in your home. I can take them on walks if needed or let them run around the yard. Safety is a priority, so you can trust that I'll be conscious about food, objects, open doors, stairs, etc. to ensure there are no mishaps!
“Shyann has stayed with Gia twice now. She’s very communicative and respectful of my home. It’s nice to know I can get away and not worry about my dog getting the love and attention she needs.”


About: I have two dogs of my own, a five-year-old rescue named Kinsley and a four-year-old Pittie named Cannoli. I grew up with terriers and have always been around dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also had experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors since I was young and have experience caring for pets at every stage of life, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I truly love animals and would be honored to care for your pets as if they were my own! I have full weekend availability for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, so I can offer daytime walks and drop-ins those days. I’m also available for evening walks and drop-ins Monday through Friday after work. I work in-office Tuesday through Thursday but can accommodate overnight stays as needed. Since I have two dogs of my own, I currently offer walks and in-home pet care at your home. I follow your pet’s established routine and household rules, whether that means crate use, free roaming, feeding schedules, or any other specific care instructions. My goal is to provide consistent, stress-free care so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment.

“This was my first time leaving my bullies alone for a work trip. I am so glad I was able to find Ella! She was super responsive to my initial inquiry and proposed time for meet and greet. She was on time for our meet and greet which I really appreciated! I got multiple pictures of both, Lolly and Bubbles while I was away. I will definitely reach out to Ella again!”
“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!”

“Lyla went above and beyond for our two dogs (mini poodle and pitbull mix) while we were away for a long weekend. She came to meet them a few days before we left and took them on a walk so they could acclimate to her. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, took them on two walks per day, did tricks with them, and kept them safe and entertained the whole weekend. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!!”


About: Thank you for considering me! I’m new to Rover, but for me, animals have always been family. Growing up, I was responsible for taking care of my family’s two dogs. I would walk, feed, and play with them on a consistent schedule. Nowadays, I have four cats with my fiancée and I’m loving every minute of being a pet parent! My top priorities as your pet sitter are safety, communication, and comfort. I want you to feel at ease knowing that your animals are in good hands, just as I want your pets to be comfortable with me checking in on them. I will always respect any boundaries, especially with shy/reserved animals! I have a full time job in Bellevue, where I work 8am-4pm Monday thru Friday. I am able to drop in before and after my shifts, as well as anytime on weekends! Dog walks are better suited for after my work shifts. I’d only be available for House sitting typically from Friday evenings to Sunday evenings/Monday mornings, although don’t hesitate to reach out as it’s possible we could get something coordinated. Communication is key! Safety is huge for me. Having multiple pets that are escape artists has taught me to be very vigilant when opening our front door. Your pet’s safety is my top priority!

“Sam was legit amazing. One if my dogs developed an issue while she was there (entirely unrelated to her stay) and she handled it flawlessly. He was throwing up, not eating, etc and not only did she alert me right away, but she monitored him closely throughout the day while keeping me regularly updated with detailed information. She helpfully coordinated with my emergency contact to get Rudy taken to the animal hospital and then remained very flexible as I adjusted my travel to come home early. Her communication was excellent, she was very respectful of my home (couldn't even tell someone had been there) and my pups loved her. I would 10000% hire her again.”


“Francesca was so sweet. She did an excellent job caring for Sarge, going above and beyond by taking him on extra long walks (which are his favorite!) and was great with communication/sending pictures and updates. She also left the house spotless!!”

About: I’ve cared for my own dog for years and regularly watch friends’ pups. I’m genuinely loving, attentive, dependable, and treat every pet like family! I work from home the majority of the week, so I have plenty of flexibility to give pets attention, walks, playtime, and lots of love throughout the day. I’m also always out exploring with my own dog, so I’d love to bring your pup along for walks and adventures when appropriate! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! Our home has two friendly cats, our own dog, and a large yard for supervised outdoor time. The yard is always used on a lead. I will treat your pet like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home!

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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carnegie
Sage was wonderful with our dogs while we were away! She was attentive, caring, and kept us updated with consistent communication, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she truly cared about the dogs and took the time to make them feel comfortable and loved. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were in great hands. We would absolutely book Sage again and highly recommend her!

Nicole was absolutely wonderful and took amazing care of my two dogs. One dog had an unexpected surgery less than two weeks before our trip and Nicole still agreed to provide care. She is an expert with giving meds and followed all of the care instructions. We will definitely be calling on her again!

Taylor was an absolute Angel! Not only did she pamper our two dogs while we were out of town on vacation, but she also came to the rescue by staying an extra day when our return flight home was canceled. She is very trustworthy and followed directions exactly as we specified. Highly recommend her for dog and house sitting.

Leila was awesome with our dog JoJo! She watched her for 4 nights and did a great job. She even stopped by a few days before we left to meet us and JoJo, which we really appreciated. While we were gone, she sent us daily updates and pictures, so we always knew JoJo was doing well. She took great care of her and also did a great job taking care of the house. She even helped water our plants, which was above and beyond! We came home to a happy dog and everything in the house just as we left it. We would definitely have Leila watch JoJo again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Carnegie is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $37 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,425 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Carnegie. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
