“Isabella was great with my puppy Leo! She took great care of him as well as my apartment during the time I was away. I also really appreciated her communication throughout my trip whether it was aligning on timing or sending me photo updates of Leo periodically. She made my trip less stressful and I would be happy to have her watch Leo again”

“Nikki was the best and I felt so comfortable with her watching my fur babies. She sent wonderful pictures and I could see my dogs very happy. We will book with her on the next trip.”
“We left our year and a half cockapoo, Charlie for the first time for a week. Jen visited us three times before we left so Charlie and we could get to know her. Charlie was well taken care of and loved. When Jen came back after we had returned Charlie was so happy to see her. That’s the best review!”
About: I've taken care of multiple pets over the years, I currently have a cat and have owned dogs in the past. I have worked with multiple shy pets and have the patience to really get to know your animal I can adapt to any pets needs! I do work full-time at my other job but I love to stop and play with pets! Every morning I'll feed you pet and stop by at night to play and make sure they're happy and fed. I have a seperate room for any animals that I keep in my house. My cat will remain seperate from other cats. I watch all animals close and understand their body language well!
“David did a great job with Roxy. He was very careful with all the details of her care, sent pictures and emails regularly, and was very resourceful when he unexpectedly got snowed in! Thank you!”
“This was our first time entrusting Patrick with our house and pups. We were quite confident in our decision when, during the meet and greet, Patrick inquired about our care routines in detail, which we hadn’t been asked before. Throughout our trip, Patrick kept us informed about our pups’ well-being by sending us pictures of their adventures. We appreciated receiving these updates as they allowed us to stay connected while we were away. We highly recommend Patrick for future dog-sitting needs and believe he would be a great fit for your requirements as well.”
“Ashley did a fantastic job with our three cats, though they can be challenging. She stayed in our house and left everything looking great. We would not hesitate to book her again.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Mamie took such great care of our dogs while we were away, especially during the storms and Fourth of July fireworks, which can be stressful for them. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and attentive hands. She was incredibly communicative, sending regular check-ins and lots of photos, which we truly appreciated. Seeing our pups happy and comfortable made it so much easier to relax while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“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”
About: I’ve done dog walking and sitting plenty of times. I enjoy running with the dogs. I love all animals. I’ve learned about animal psychology. I worked at a zoo in Chicago for a summer. I used to pet sit in my neighborhood throughout high school. I am free most weekdays both morning and evening. I have another job with flexible hours so I can make almost any time work. I go running in the evening a few days a week. We have an apartment with a large cage that we can use if needed. We also have a commercial pet washing station in the building! I have lots of blankets for your furry friends. We have a projector that we can play Dog TV, nature scenes, etc. if they like. I will pay attention to the pets needs while not giving into them. I will do what is best for you and your pet. We have different size dog bowls and a handful of various toys.
About: I recently had to say goodbye to my almost 17 year old min pin. Last year I lost my 15 year old mutt. I'm not ready for a new dog of my own yet but would love to help take care of yours! I live in the East End and would prefer to stay on this side of town. Very flexible schedule for dog walking and boarding. Available weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. Reliable, caring, and experienced—your pup’s comfort and safety are my priority! I have a fenced in back yard. There are no pets or children living in my home. I also live in a very dog friendly neighborhood.
“Tyler was very nice. Our almost 4 year old Husky Mix liked Tyler immediately. His personality helped me relax and feel comfortable with the process of hiring a house sitter. He was very good with communication, which I really appreciated. This was a meet & greet after which Tyler house sat for us for a few hours. It went really well.”
“I can not say enough good things about Mallory! From beginning to end, she was professional and caring. She stayed in our home and treated it with respect...went above and beyond what I would have expected. I am so thankful for the positive experience we had with Mallory!!! No doubt she will be our top choice again when we need care for our pets.”
About: I have grown up with a variety of dog breeds (husky mix, hound mix, lab, blue heeler/lab) and am comfortable with a variety of dog sizes and personalities. My partner and I fostered a very social and sweet fluffy guy, so you may have seen us running with him to the dog park now and then. I am attentive and love getting to know each dog’s individual personality. As a third year med student, my day to day schedule can vary, but I am typically available in the evenings and on weekends. I love hanging out with pets while I study, and walks are always a welcome break! We go on regular walks (or runs if the dog is used to that) throughout the day, play, snuggle, and hang out. I am very attentive to cleanliness and locking up after visits.
About: I’ve always been a dog lover and both me and brother rescued Labrador early prior to the covid year. We love him so much and since I moved countries he now lives with my parents in India. I wear a paw on my necklace which is a memory that he is not far away and will always take care of my parents behind me. Zorro now sits on the dinner table and enjoys all family meals. As someone with medical training and a responsible active lifestyle, I am calm under pressure, highly dependable and attentive to routines, medications, special care needs and feeding schedule. Whether your pet is playful or prefer quiet companionship I’m happy to adapt to their personality and needs. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family 🐾 I relocated to Pittsburgh from Boston for my medical training this year. I thrive on a schedule and can work if we plan the days well in advance together. I will be open to taking care of your pet as needed and happy to coordinate a schedule for walks/boarding at my house with you. My partner and I are trustworthy, active, and organized, and we genuinely care about making your dog feel safe and loved while you're away from home. 🐾 I live in an apartment with my spouse who has grown up all around dogs as pets since he was a kid so we both love dogs but don’t have one of our own currently. Your pet is allowed on our sofa and enjoy the area of a one bedroom. If I am at your home, I will aim to make your pet feel as comfortable and stress free as possible while the owner is way by keeping a normal routine in their own home environment. I will carefully follow your instructions and communication is very important to me, so I can provide regular updates , photos and check-in to help the owner feel reassured. As someone with a medical background I am very attentive to details and safety.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glenshaw
Isabella has been SO wonderful to my animals. Two big dogs and a cat can be hard to manage but she's so great with all of them and they are always happy to see her. Even my neighbor said the dogs look like they're having so much fun when they're with her. Would recommend 10/10.
Wonderful experience with Ashley! Sasha was well-fed, walked, and played with, and our cats, Midnight and Jaguar, were perfectly cared for. It was a huge relief knowing Ashley was there to handle Midnight’s daily medications without any issues. It is a massive weight off our shoulders to find someone so responsible and attentive. We would highly recommend Ashley to anyone in the area!
We had such a wonderful experience with Kiara! She took amazing care of both of our pets—our cat Herbie and our dog Rusty—over the weekend, and we couldn’t be happier. She made sure Rusty got plenty of walks and attention, and it was clear from all the photos she sent that both of our pets were happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We really appreciated the constant updates—it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Having someone stay in our home can feel like a big step, but she made it incredibly easy for us to trust her. She was respectful, communicative, and clearly very experienced with animals. The best part was coming home to a very happy Rusty and a calm, content Herbie—it’s obvious they were in great hands the entire time. We would absolutely love to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter! :)
Michelle did an amazing job taking care of my pups. She kept me updated frequently with messages and photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was incredibly accommodating and flexible—even after I had to change the dates twice, she was still able to make everything work. On top of that, she was so thoughtful and even gave toys to my kids, which meant a lot to us. She’s truly an amazing sitter, and I highly recommend her!

The average cost of House Sitting in Glenshaw is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $71 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Glenshaw 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 Glenshaw 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 Glenshaw 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.
