About: I have worked with all animals, from dogs and cats, to rats, turtles, hamsters, rabbits and fish! I have worked at a Humane Society, and love volunteering my time to work with animals. I have experience administering medication, as well as working with animals that have a bit of an attitude. I enjoy training dogs, and sitting on the coach and watching a movie together! I am able to commit most of my time to petsitting! I do not board in my home, but I have a reliable car that allows me to travel and spend the night in your home. That means less stress on your furry companions! While I do not provide care in my home, I prefer to meet families and their animals in advance so that we are able to discuss the little things about your animals. I love getting to know their quirks, and the best way to do that is talking to owners. I enjoy long walks with the dogs, and snuggling with cats and other animals!
“Maria was readily available for a last minute booking and did an incredible job! We video called to show her the lay of the land and my girls just loved her!”
About: I’ve never lived without a dog, so I have life experience playing, feeding, walking, and bathing pups. I helped raise and train my parents’ Golden Retriever puppy during COVID. I’m the go-to sitter for friends’ dogs and have experience with giving oral medication safely. I work full time, but remotely on Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays and can easily take a break to take care of your baby. Weekends are fully open, unless out of town. I treat each clients home with professionalism and ensure that I take care not only the pets, but leave no trace of me behind. Your house is your safe space and I will never spoil that for you.
About: Hi! My name is Yanny and I am a reliable and attentive pet caregiver with strong observation and communication skills (a psychology degree helps with that!). Experienced following detailed instructions, maintaining schedules, and recognizing behavioral cues in our furry friends. I love walking animals and helping them maintain their health when owners are gone. My biggest priority is to make the animals feel safe and loved while owners are away! Im currently working a full time job at a school near the Pittsburgh area, so I afternoons, nights, and weekends to connect with animals and owners. I can easily drive to a clients house, and I’m very reliable and flexible when it comes to scheduling! If needed, I can always drive the pets to parks and open spaces to have a fun time as well. (My work will depend on the wants and needs of the clients!)
“Ashley was absolutely incredible! From the very beginning, she was responsive, easy to work with, and even offered a meet-and-greet, which made the entire process seamless. Our Lou is currently on medication, and Ashley had no problem administering it, she even covered it in peanut butter to make sure he took it! Our baby looked so happy in every photo she sent, and we loved the report card feature as well. Ashley truly went above and beyond by making an extra trip to check on Lou after he had gotten sick earlier that day, which gave us such peace of mind. We also have a cat, and Ashley was more than happy to help by leaving treats out for her too. We left a list of “to-dos,” and she completed everything exactly as requested. She was extremely respectful of both us and our home. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and will absolutely be using Ashley for all of our future trips. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve cared for everything from ferrets to birds, frogs and Guinea pigs - cats and dogs are easily my fave but I love all animals equally. My schedule is flexible, daily availability with at least a couple days notice usually works - my entire family (fiancé, 23 & 16 year olds, the first two also have Rover profiles) help make caring for your pet even easier as we all bring our different experiences and love of animals to every Rover assignment I accept. Quality of life for all pets is the most important aspect of providing care because I know that all let’s live in the present moment - my objective is to give your beloved animal friend the best care they can get while I’m on the clock!
About: I have taken care of dogs since the age of 12, when I got my own dog. Since Moose entered my family I have fallen in love with the joy dogs bring to a home. I'm an avid walk taker and am looking for a companion to join me! I am a newly postgrad professional who is trying to fill my newfound free time with walks and pets! Growing up with two dogs of my own it has been quite the adjustment to no longer have company on my daily walks. I’m looking forward to spending time with your furry friends! I will ensure your dog is safe, whether that is in your fenced in yard or on leash. I will also make sure to discuss your furry friends specific needs before care.

About: I had a dog for 13 years and he was my best friend before he passed. It heals me to be around other dogs and care for them because they are our family. I ensured he was well cared for, loved, and catered to anything he needed. I am diligent with following tasks, time management, and have a genuine love for dogs. Whatever instructions are given, they will be followed. I will go above and beyond to ensure your fur baby is well cared for. I will also give daily updates if needed.

If anything changes throughout the semester, I will update my schedule. Also, I’m in my last semester, so my availability will become more open after December 2026. If specific directions are left for your pet, I will go above and beyond to follow those instructions. Let me know how I can best accommodate you and your pet.

About: Hello! I work from home so, the dogs are under constant supervision. I will only be watching one dog at a time. I have a cat who likes to keep to herself. I presently work from home so I will be able to provide your puppers constant care. I love taking dogs on long walks around Lawrenceville! Fenced in backyard. pups will get plenty of exercise playing with me and going for walks. I understand the trust that owners are placing in me to care for their most loved pets and take that responsibility very seriously. I love and treat the dogs I watch as if they are my own🧡

“Heather was so kind and upon meeting her, I instantly knew I wouldn’t have to worry while I was gone. She was very communicative and I know my boy had the best treatment.”
About: I have had 3 dogs of my own! An Australian Cattle Dog Mix, a Basenji mix, and a working line large breed German Shepherd, which I helped train in obedience to be an SD. My dogs always had scheduled potty breaks and playtime. My job is to make sure your pet has the best time while keeping boundaries/respecting their space, ensuring their safety, and following your expectations of care. I am comfortable with any amount of shedding and the size of your pet. I can especially ease my interaction with pets that are scared and anxious, as through training my own dog, I am better at picking up the dog’s body language and only engage in physical contact if the pet’s body language consents. If you have an aggressive pet, please notify me beforehand. I do not guarantee I will agree to care for them, but I am interested in scheduling a first meeting if possible. Note: I do not drink/smoke, so your loved one will never be affected by second-hand smoke or inappropriate behavior. I am very available on the weekends and by the afternoon on weekdays. If you need morning care, please reach out and I will see if I can accommodate! My pets are routinely groomed and freshened. Everytime they come inside after heavy play, I clean their body from head to toe with pet friendly wipes. I use a brush that helps with shedding and smoothing out hair. Their teeth gets brushed every 2 weeks. I check their ears for dirt routinely and the inside of their paws for any injuries or cracking from dryness.
About: Hi, I'm Sam! I grew up with pets my whole life — birds first, then dogs — so caring for animals has always felt like second nature to me. I've been dog walking and sitting since 2022, and I also sit for cats. I'm comfortable administering medication when needed too. I work a hybrid schedule, so on weekdays I'm typically out of the house for a few hours during the day — your pet's routine (feeding, walks, downtime) stays consistent around that. I'm very communicative before and during every stay, and I want to know exactly what your pet needs to make sure they're comfortable while you're away. Your pet's comfort and safety are my top priority, and I love building an ongoing relationship with the pets I care for. I’d love to meet you and your pup (or pets!) soon. I currently work a flexible hybrid schedule, so I have plenty of time to dedicate towards giving your furry friend the love and attention they want and need! I am very very receptive to the needs/wants of the owner of the dog/cat and am also quite good at judging when furry friends are unhappy or stressed. I will be certain to follow the owner’s instructions and reach out if anything is unclear!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Homestead
Adisyn was an absolutely ideal dog sitter!! I would recommend her to anyone; she was 11/10. I was extremely anxious about leaving my dog who is very fearful and skiddish, but Adisyn knew just how to take care of her and was very calm and patient and kind. I could tell she had a lot of experience and joy working with dogs. My doggo warmed up to Adisyn right away and even seemed to miss her after I got back! Adisyn kept me updated on how my doggo was doing and followed all instructions very thoroughly. My doggo and I had the best experience with her!
Valerie is a conscientious and loving pet sitter and my dogs and cats love her visits. She maintains good communication both before and during visits so I feel comfortable leaving my pets in her capable hands. She goes above and beyond and I trust her with my 2 dogs and 2 cats.
Erin was highly communicative and dependable. She took great care of our two large, high-energy dogs while we were away. She asked thoughtful questions in advance to make sure she a thorough understanding of the dogs and what they needed. We would happily work with Erin again!
David was an incredible find! We have never done this before but he was patient and helped us figure out how we wanted our animals to be taken care of with an immense level of kindness and understanding. He was a great fit for us and took great care of our special needs dog. We cannot recommend him enough!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Homestead is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $32 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 October 2026, there are 2,530 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Homestead. 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.
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 Homestead 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!
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 .
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
