“This was our first time using Greg for a drop in visit and walk for our little dog Toby. Everything went smoothly. Toby's a bit neurotic and we appreciate the care you showed he showed him. Thanks!”
About: I’m a responsible and caring pet lover with 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve provided walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention for family and friends’ pets. I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m available for pet care throughout the week and can work pet visits into my schedule. I’m responsible, dependable, and will make sure I give each pet plenty of attention during every visit. I’m especially interested in regular walks and drop-in visits and will communicate with owners to make sure their pets receive the care they need. I’ve cared for family and friends’ dogs by taking them on walks, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they have plenty of food and water. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’ll follow each owner’s instructions carefully while making sure their pet feels safe and comfortable.
About: I've cared for all kinds of animals and am happy to do dirty work that animals need to live clean. I'm a thorough, compassionate caretaker and I want to work with what your house and pets need. I work 5 days a week as a park ranger, but am looking for care opportunities in certain evenings and on weekends. I have two cats myself, which limits my boarding opportunities, but my schedule still allows for overnight stays. I have two cats myself, both are fed no-grain dry food and vitamin/oral supplements with wet food. One cat needs much play, exercise, and attention, while the other needs to be seen and talked sweetly to, and only pet while she eats. I've spent much time learning their behaviors and needs, and intend to do the same with every animal in my care. Even my snake had a way to tell me he was too cold or overhandled and wanted to be put back. I've had many guinea pigs and hamsters, and came up with creative ways to enrich them without endangering them. I've cared for many bugs, and know how and when to check their moisture levels, I do extended research on their diet needs and substrate needs, and I'll do the same for you. Animals and pets are family, though they can't tell you what they need, you can always learn and provide for them.
About: My friends regularly joke that my needs are similar to that of a dog: frequent walks and treats are all it takes to make me happy. I have cared for families and their loved pets for well over sixteen years; living in the owners house while on vacation or just dropping by periodically to check up. With our own pup, Thorin Oakenshield (Thor for short), our house is equipped with a large enclosed backyard, dog door, dog treats, toys (toys and more toys), and leashes. On Rover, I have cared for breeds of all types, but most extensively, I have cared for a Belgian malinois - hosting her for doggy daycare 30+ hours a week. The second dog i have cared the most for was special needs, so no matter the breed or the capabilities, know that I am comfortable, confident and competent I will be available full time throughout the week and on weekends: overnights accepted! I can work short term or long term and can travel, if need be, as I have a car and am willing to drive Our Thor gets along extremely well other dogs and children, so if you choose me to take care of your fur kid, you can rest assured they will get plenty of play time (if that's what you wish), plenty of rest (Thor adapts very well to other dogs energy levels, so senior pups can rest easy), and - of course - plenty of love! I currently have open availability: regardless of early morning or late nights, overnights, or weekends. I am happy to help however needed, so don't hesitate to reach out! I live in a home mere blocks from an elementary school. Our home has a large fenced in yard - with a dog door! My husband and I love dogs. In fact, my husband is far more likely to show them affection and love than he is to show me 😆 seriously, you should see his goodbyes with Thor v me in the morning... Your furkid will be inundated with as many pets and snuggles as their little heart desires, all while ensuring their safety and health.
“Nikki was a life saver! I had a family emergency which required a next day booking and she made herself available. Even my shy girl Annie warmed up to her. Nikki was very amenable to several changes in schedule with no problems. She will be the first we call the next time a sitter is needed and I know Annie and Blu look forward to seeing her again!”
“Jordyn did a wonderful job watching my cat! She cleaned his litter box every day, made sure he got attention and play time, and always sent me pictures. This was my first time using a stranger to pet sit, and I felt like I could really trust her with my cat. I would definitely hire Jordyn again!”
About: I’ve been working with a variety of dogs of all different breeds for roughly 6 years via dog walking, dog sitting, etc! I love dogs of all kinds! I’m a doctoral student of occupational therapy, so most of my time is spent working via fieldwork and doing homework. I am free on Tuesdays & Thursdays for drop ins/walks, and on weekends for housesitting. I’m happy to help with any household needs specified during housesitting! Please leave me comprehensive instructions for caring for your pet(s), including meal details/times, walking schedule, etc.
About: I have two dogs of my own. One is a puppy and one is an older dog so I understand all needs for every age range. Have been pet sitting for a couple years in my community I am currently working part time and will be able to give your pets the time and attention they need. My schedule is very flexible. Your pets safety and comfort is my priority. I am willing to walk your pets and stay to their schedule. I can also keep you updated with photos of your pets while away for your peace of mind.
“Melinda took great care of Cash! He was happy to see us, but we could tell he was happy from the pictures Melinda took throughout her time with him! We are thankful for the care she took of our dog and our home!”
About: I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable pet sitter who genuinely loves spending time with animals. I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so I will be sure to send you detailed updates and photos. I have a 7-year-old blue Pitbull of my own, who has taught me so much about caring for and understanding dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs and have spent plenty of time caring for dogs of friends and family. Some of the different breeds I’ve taken care of are bichon frisé, English bulldog, black lab, chihuahua, miniature golden-doodle, labradoodle, dachshunds, beagles and many more! I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I know that every dog is unique, and I love taking the time to get to know what makes each pup happy and comfortable. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, lots of playtime, a little extra attention, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s personality, routine, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they can have the best experience possible. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup and become someone you can trust whenever you need a sitter. ❤️🐶 Pet care fits easily into my schedule because I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days and times. This allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve rather than trying to fit them into a busy work schedule. I’m flexible with walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine. I understand that every pet and family has different needs, so I’ll do my best to accommodate your preferred schedule and make things as easy and stress-free as possible for you and your pet. I prioritize safety, trust, and making sure every pet feels comfortable in their own environment. I’m happy to care for pets in their home, where they can stay in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routine. Before each stay, I’ll take the time to learn about your pet’s personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite activities, and any special instructions. I’ll make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure and will always be mindful of your pet’s safety. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with a beloved member of your family. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️
“I am new to Rover, and probably very slow to understand the process. Lisa was very easy to work with through this process. She provided a photo and many updates. I wasn't sure how my dog would react to a stranger coming into the house , but he seemed very comfortable with Lisa. He even fell asleep at one point. Relief to be at work at not worry about your dog”
“Kaitlyn was an amazing pet sitter for our 120 pound great pyr/ GSD mix! While our dog can be a bit tough meeting new people, Kaitlyn dove right in and provided regular check ins, potty breaks, and playtime for our boy. Would highly recommend!”
“Rachel was a great help when I had to spontaneously leave town for a family thing. She was quick to respond and understanding of the fact that we couldn't meet in person! She took good care of my kitties while I was away. I definitely recommend you work with her if you ever need pet-caring help!”
“Niki clearly loves dogs and was very patient with our shy dog who eventually warmed up to her for a drop in visit. She was also considerate of my mother-in-law who was visiting at the time. Top notch trustworthy service! Thank you Niki!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glenshaw
This was our second time having Jennifer as our pet sitter, and she was amazing again! She took great care of our pets and had excellent communication. Jennifer went above and beyond with sending updates additional tasks that she offered without us even asking (like taking out our trash). We have her booked again for the future!
We were so lucky to find her when we needed someone in a pinch! Our regular dog sitter was moving that weekend, and our friend who usually dog and house sits for us was busy. We even had another Rover cancel on us last minute, so we were getting a little nervous! She was available to do a meet and greet and then came for the full hour both days for drop-in visits. She was very responsive, followed all of our feeding instructions for both dogs, fed our fish, and took AMAZING pictures while she was there. It was so nice getting the updates and knowing everyone was taken care of. She was dependable, easy to communicate with, and clearly cared about our pets. We would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter! 🐶❤️
Sharon is superb!! ! She is professional and reliable and very easy to work with. She kept us informed our whole trip and sent pictures and updates of her visits every day with our cat, Chickpea. She even kept a watch on our house as we were away in the very frigid temperatures , which gave us total peace of mind. We are so happy to have found Sharon and will booking with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Glenshaw is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 per visit. 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 2,619 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Glenshaw. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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.
