“Anna did an amazing job caring for my energetic, anxious Border Collie! She stayed in my home for an entire week and sent daily check-ins and pictures. Anna made me feel at ease while on vacation. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”

“We hired Erin to care for our three-year-old tuxedo cat, Lilly, for six nights. As first-time clients, we appreciated how regularly she kept us informed. She often shared photos and videos, and her strong communication skills made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Although she works primarily as a dog sitter, it was clear that she and Lilly quickly bonded - the photos showed the feeling was mutual. Erin also helped with a few household tasks, including setting out the garbage and watering our plants while we were gone. We returned to a tidy, well-kept home and a happy, well cared for cat. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire Erin again. In fact, we think Lilly already misses her. Thank you, Erin!”

About: I am a big dog lover. People like to call me the animal whisperer because we always pull right to each other! I have 2 dogs of my own so I know how to care for them and I will give your pet the same love I give mine each and every day. I will treat (and spoil) yours as if they were my own. I would be available to walk and/or play with your pets throughout the morning and afternoons Monday-Friday. I can also pet sit anytime if the need were to arise. I would treat your pet like it was mine and give them all the loving they're used to when you're at home with them. I can do house visits. I have two dogs as well that are very friendly and love meeting new dogs that would love to meet your pet. We could go to the dog park or if you have a fenced in yard and your pet loves other dogs, we'll all come and keep them company!

Communication was good throughout the stay, and it was clear that Joey cared about the dogs’ well-being. Overall, I appreciated the help and care provided during my trip.”

“Bacchus is a senior dog who loves to stay in his own home. He does not do well staying over at someone’s house or kenneled. Kaitlyn stayed at our house while we went on vacation and provided all the love and care needed for him. She sent us daily updates and pictures. And always responded if I had a question. She had no problems following Bacchus’s schedule of daily treats ( he’s a treat boy!). We came home to happy dog and a spotless home! She even cared for my outside flowers which was a challenge in the hot temps. She did a great job both inside and out! I definitely recommend Kaitlyn and will ask her to pet sit the next time we need her.”

She is extremely flexible around timings and takes great care of our dogs. When she dog sat in our home, she not only took care of the dogs, but left the house super clean.”

About: Hi! I’m Chris, a dedicated pet parent based in Cranberry Township. I understand that pets are family, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust. I provide personalized, one-on-one care with plenty of love, patience, and attention. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and stress-free experience tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, overnight stay, or boarding, I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to making every pet feel comfortable, loved, and at home while you’re away. You can always expect regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I'm currently working part time so will be available lots of times during week. I know you don't want your pet to stay alone. Just let me know when you need me. I can go for long walks or small jog with your pet, also there's nice dog park nearby where we can play. Everybody needs some activity in their lives. Also I'm gentle and caring.

About: I’m a lifelong pet owner with multiple years of pet sitting experience. I started when I was 10 years old with my family and friends dogs and cats. I’m comfortable caring for all breeds and ages of dogs. I’m a stay at home mom with two animal loving daughters. My daughters are getting older which has allowed me to have more free time. They’re as excited as I am to start this new adventure. I have a house with an open floor plan with plenty of space for your pet to safely play and rest. My neighborhood has multiple walking trails.

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: First, I have had cats in my home my whole life. I have had dogs in my home early in childhood. I watched the dogs of my friends and family throughout all of childhood and early into adult hood. Currently I just have one orange kitty and volunteer actively in my community! I am happy to hold down the fort while you are out of town to keep your furry family fed, watered and well loved (including lots of brushing if your animal enjoys that!!) ! I've never had a problem with any pet! Even the quote unquote "mean dogs"! I'll treat your home with the upmost care and respect, and do offer cleaning services as well! Heading out for an emergency? Holidays? Need your bathroom "terminally cleaned"? Dishes taken care of after you leave me with the care of your pet and trust of your home? I can make sure the day of your return that your Shower, tub, sink, toilet etc are cleaned to hospital grade standards! All dishes cleaned, vents dusted, ceiling fan blades wiped (I'm tall lol!) Your dog and or cats will be given round the clock care and attention you expect as if I was treating it like my own animal. Pay or no pay!! While currently I am only offering house sitting services, you can expect dogs to be taken out as frequently as needed. Walked, fed on time and cuddled. Poop removed from yard, etc. It's not a house cleaning service, but aside from sitting for your loved one, I will also be a guest in your home and will make sure it's tidy and kept tidy! Cats litter boxes will be checked multiple times daily, fed on time, and water kept fresh. Safety trust and environment.. I have a clean background, clearances, and volunteer for nonprofits of all kinds in my community! I am a good community member and your home and loved furry family member will always be safe and well cared for under my care!

“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”

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. 🐾💕

Courtney was great! She is super friendly, communicative, and really went above and beyond. She sent us photos, brought in our packages and trash can without even being asked, and was so sweet with our two cats. They took to her right away at the first meeting! We definitely recommend Courtney and will absolutely use her again for future trips!

Mila is wonderful and worth every penny! She stayed in our home for several days and took great care of our dogs while sending regular updates. The pups clearly loved her despite forcing her to give them several baths due to their rough housing in the backyard. She kept an eye on the house, packages, plants, you name it. We will certainly use her again and highly recommend her as being trustworthy and thorough.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fernway

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Fernway on Rover is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $72 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 1,351 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fernway. 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 Fernway 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 Fernway 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 Fernway 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fernway. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
