“Karen was awesome! She stayed at the house during the recent snow storm and she went above and beyond. We didn't have to worry about a thing. Beckett was sad to see her go. We will definitely be using her again.”

About: I've been a pet owner since 1990. Would love to help out fun dogs in need of attention. Recently relocated back to my hometown and can't have a pet of my own currently. Someday, again... I've just relocated back to Ellwood City and look forward to opportunities to network with new clients and their pets. I've been inactive for the last few years because of work responsibilities, but I'm really flexible right now until I find permanent work again in the area. I cannot bring pets to my home though. I will follow your instructions to the T. I can't offer in home services where I live, but will do as instructed so that your pet enjoys my visit. Just let me know any do's and don'ts and I can take it from there.

We enjoyed getting picture updates throughout the day and she seemed to quickly pick up on our 2 dogs quirks. Cannot talk her up enough - get on her schedule already! We are looking forward to working with her again in the future!”

“Sydney was so wonderful with our pets and there are 5 of them so they can be a handful. She has great communication and was very prompt and on time. She sent lots of updates and stayed in contact with us for our entire trip. She left the house cleaner than when we left and our dogs were so well taken care of. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and recently completed a veterinary assistant program through my school’s career and technical center, as well as volunteered at the local animal shelter. Through my training, I’ve learned safe animal handling, recognizing signs of illness, administering basic care, maintaining cleanliness, and keeping pets comfortable and stress-free. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of different ages and personalities. I understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, kindness, and attention to detail. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide care throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Through my veterinary assistant training, I’ve learned safe handling techniques and how to recognize when a pet may not be feeling well. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, keep their environment clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident they’re receiving loving, dependable care.

About: I’ve helped pet sit for friends and family for several years now. I have my own 4 year old purebred Siberian husky named Maverick. I have had him since he was 3 months old. I also grew up having family dogs and cats. I even helped take care of brother’s bearded dragon when he was in college. I spent 3 years working alongside 2 certified professional trainers learning to train my own dog. I am currently a daycare teacher working with infants and preschoolers. I am also in a master’s program to get my teaching degree in teaching high school English. I am currently a daycare teacher working most days. Sometimes I start at 6:30am, sometimes at 8am, and other times at noon. I usually work till 6:15pm, but sometimes I get scheduled to be off early. It varies every week, but I can put in requests ahead of time to start or end at a certain time if need be. I have a 4 year old purebred Siberian husky named Maverick. He loves everyone and all animals. He was raised around other dogs, cats, and a bearded dragon since I brought him home at 3 months old. I have worked alongside 2 certified professional trainers to help train Maverick to be the best behaved dog. I have trained Maverick to the point that he has several awards and certifications in obedience, rally, and scent work. I currently live with my sister’s two dogs and brother’s cat. I cannot pet sit at my house currently due to having other dogs and cats in my home, but I am more than happy to go to a client’s home, and pet sit, walk, let animals outside, etc.

About: Hi everyone! Long story short, I absolutely love and adore animals...to say I'm an "animal lover" doesn't even cover it. I've owned dogs since I was 8 yrs old, but I've been around and taken care of them my whole life! I currently only have 1 fur-baby, Maddie (AKA Maddison, Matty, Mathew-thiason, Bear, Sweet Baby Bear, the bestest baby bear in the whole wide world). She's our 9 ½ yr. old yellow Labrador Retriever...she's our everything! So as you may have guessed, I'm good with big and small dogs. I'm also currently an "Auntie" to 4 pups (Reggie, Riggs, Luna, and Olive....our newest addition to the family). And let's not forget the other countless doggos and kitties that are in our extended family. I've helped MANY friends and family members with their fur-babies when they're busy, at work, or out of town. And that's what I'd like to do for you. Walks, pets, kisses, plays, talks feedings, cuddles and everything in-between, is what I'd like to help you with. I've also had to critically care for my own pets and others, so I know how to help with medications, if they have any injuries or special needs, if they've had surgeries or other procedures, etc. I'm also a nurse...so that's an added bonus! Your fur-baby will become like mine and your way goes....it's your pet, your home, your rules! Whatever you need me to do for your pet, I absolutely will, with a smile on my face and with the utmost respect. I'm an honest, reliable, organized, detail-oriented, and extremely loving and caring person. My goal is to be an extension of you to your fur-baby, when you just can't be there! I can't wait to help you! I currently only work part time as a nurse, so I have A BUNCH of extra time to help you and your pets! The only times I most likely CANNOT help you are Tuesday between 7pm-10pm and Sunday 10am-12pm ( but those days and times could still be subject to change). Can't wait to meet you and your fur-baby! Whatever you need me to do for your fur-baby, I absolutely will. It's your pet...your rules! I'm just here to help however I possibly can!

About: What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about making pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I grew up with dogs and have two Labradoodles back home with my mom, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’m very attentive to each pet’s personality and routine—whether they’re super playful, a little shy, or a total Velcro pet who wants to be by my side 24/7. I’m also big on communication, so you can expect plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is getting lots of attention, affection, and care! I work full-time in downtown Pittsburgh during the weekdays, with the flexibility to work remotely at least one day per week and occasionally additional days as needed. I have plenty of availability throughout the week for pet sitting, including early mornings, evenings, and overnight stays, with generally full availability on weekends! I’m always happy to coordinate around your pet’s normal routine to make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship! I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away, so I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as I can! I’m happy to stick to specific feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, or any other instructions you leave for me. I’ll give them plenty of attention and affection while also respecting their personality and space. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and will always leave things just as I found them. And of course, you can expect lots of pictures and updates so you know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for!

About: I’ve been pet sitting and caring for dogs and cats for over 20 years, and I can genuinely say there are few things that make me happier than getting to know a new furry friend. I currently run my own pet-sitting business and have been incredibly lucky to build a wonderful little family of happy pets, repeat clients, and pet parents who trust me with their babies. I know every pet is their own little person! Some want to play fetch until your arm falls off, some want to be your shadow, some would happily spend the entire visit getting belly rubs, and others need a little extra patience and time before deciding you’re worthy of their friendship. I love learning all of those little quirks and keeping their normal routines as familiar and comfortable as possible while their people are away. I have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, personalities, and needs, including multi-pet households and routine oral and topical medications. And because I know how much you miss your babies when you’re apart, I’m a BIG believer in sending plenty of photos and updates along the way! Your pets won’t just be fed, walked, and checked on…they’ll get conversation, playtime, companionship, scratches, cuddles, and plenty of love. My goal is for you to be able to enjoy your trip or get through your workday knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, happy, and being genuinely cared for. Loving Your Pets Like They’re My Own isn’t just my slogan, it’s exactly what I try to do with every animal entrusted to me. 💕🐾 Pet sitting is already a regular part of my weekly routine, and I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to devote plenty of time to the pets in my care. I’m available weekdays, evenings, weekends, and overnight, and can often accommodate extended stays as well. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, some company during a long workday, or someone to stay with them while you’re away, I love being able to plan my schedule around their normal routine. When I’m caring for your babies, they’re never treated like something I need to “fit in.” Spending time with them is the best part of my day! 💕 I provide care in my clients’ homes because I believe pets are often happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s normal routine, personality, feeding and potty schedule, favorite activities, medication needs, and any special instructions their family provides. I’m respectful of both your pets and your home, and their safety and comfort are always my priority. I never force interaction with a shy or nervous pet…I’m happy to give them the time and space they need to decide that we’re friends! While you’re away, I’ll provide plenty of companionship, playtime, conversation, scratches, cuddles, and love, along with lots of photos and updates so you can see how your babies are doing. 🐾💕

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: I love to care and take for each and every one of these pets as my own. Give them love, affection, playtime treats, and feed them all they want of course with parent approval I will go above and beyond to protect and enjoy your animals company. when is sitting for other people? I try to come to the house if not staying there about three times a day for cuddles treats, snacks, and fun. Myself I would struggle up with my little kitties all day long and take care as needed. if I see a mess, I take first hand. If something were to go wrong, we’re having an issue immediately contact the owner and fix the problem to my best extent while the owner is away. There is nothing that I have not been able to handle so far fingers crossed.

“Kristie was a wonderful sitter for our mini labradoodle and our bunny! She stayed in our home for five nights while we were out of the country. From the first exchange of messages through the meet-and-greet and the pet-sitting itself, Kristie was very communicative and professional, and she clearly cared a lot about keeping our pets safe and happy. We came home to happy pets and a spotless house. This was our first time having Kristie sit, and we will definitely have her back when we need a sitter again. Our pets were in very good hands.”

“Luke is a very kind, and professional. He took care of our 3 dogs while my husband was having his lumbar surgery and I stayed at a hotel. We kept in contact with each other. When I returned the house was in the same condition before we left and the dogs were in a calm state of mind when we returned. Royce kept looking out the sliding glass door for Luke to return. I'm so happy they got along for Royce don't take to just anyone but they both found a forever buddy and we hope to have Luke around again for his services. I had no worries. He showed up on time and was ready to work very early. Thanks Luke for all your help, Lee and I and the dogs are forever grateful for your help. Thank you, Tammy, Lee, Royce,Ruby and WeeWee.”

“Tori was prompt in arriving to pick up my house key and getting instructions. She followed up with questions that were relevant to their care that it hadn't occurred to me to discuss during her drop in. My dogs seemed to love her on their meet and greet, and I'm sure they were happy to see her when she came into my house. She was willing to fit us in with another client booked on a Friday night. It was greatly appreciated by my boyfriend and I. She came as many times as she said she would in the 5 hour span that we requested her services and reported back on what each dog did each visit, which I appreciated. She is a vet tech, which made me feel comfortable entrusting her with my pet's care. She followed my basic instructions exactly and followed up with questions when needed. She was very communicative, polite, and kind during the timeframe she worked for us. It requires a lot of trust to allow a stranger to watch your pets and have a key to your home. I trusted Tori with my pets and home and she did not disappoint. And now that I've found a Rover so close to home I'm sure to be a repeat customer! A big thank you to Tori from Sarah and her crazy labs! :)”

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since my 20's but the last 13 years I have been house/dog sitting for the members of the congregation were I was paid staff. I absolutely love animals but dogs are my favorite. I have extensive experience with any breed from puppy to geriatric dogs. My goal is eventually to do boarding as well. I would love to come stay with your pet baby and love on him/her while you are away. I believe in spending time with the pets. I promise you I will become your pets best friend second only to you. Getting them some exercise every day if possible and lot's of cuddle's at night. I prefer clients with fenced in yards. I am currently not working so I will be with your pets through out the day. Recently my daily schedule has opened up so I would be with your pets full time. If you dogs like to ride in the car I would take them on errands with me. Really there are no obstacles for me to be able to be with you pets full time. I am looking for full time remote work from home work though. Then I can still do dog sitting at the owners home or my home while I'm working. The first thing I do when I get up around 8 or 9 is let your dog outside if it's a fenced in yard a walk if it's not. Then I feed them per whatever instructions you have left. In the afternoon we go out again for some play time and potty break. I usually will let the dogs out an hour after they eat and every 4 hours a day, For cats, I feed them first thing. Keep their litter box cleaned daily or every other day and depending on the cat's acceptance of me or their personality we will have play time and cuddles too.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fallston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Fallston is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $56 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 1,195 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fallston. 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 Fallston 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 Fallston 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 Fallston 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.
