“Aleah was punctual and provided regular updates during her visit. She was very attentive to Kobe and had a great personality that Kobe quickly warmed up to. We highly recommend Aleah for a pet in-home sitting.”
About: I’ve taken care of many pets over the past 7 years. Especially when i got my licenses my family relied on me to take care of there animals. I loved it, getting to spend all my time with different dogs, cats, birds, fish. I also have a dog and cat myself and I miss them dearly since i moved to PA Im a current student at Gannon so I have classes but only in the mornings and get off at 12:10, but i do also have practice for a hour at 7. My dog and cat are indoor animals so they are very sheltered. Anything your animal needs i would ensure it and their safety of course
“Rori was such a gem - Gus had an absolute blast! She took such great care of him and we were able to enjoy our time away knowing he was in great hands. Super responsive and left the place spotless! Will absolutely be booking with her again! Thanks Rori!”
About: I am a 20 year old who’s been an animal lover my whole life. I grew up with small dogs, big dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks, and more, each one giving a new experience. All animals have these things in common, and it’s just wanting to be treated with care, feel safe, and live comfortably. With your pet in my hands, they will guaranteed be treated with extra care and will have my patience. From excited and cuddly to shy and reserved, each animal will be respected and have their boundaries. Boarding and day care should be available in the future! Right now I am doing walks, drop ins, and in your home sitting. My schedule can get wonky, so please give me time to plan out your booking by reaching out at LEAST 3 days in advance especially so we can do a meet and greet beforehand. I look forward to meeting your pets! Sitting will usually be done at your home. I plan to start boarding after getting my own place but that is something me and my partner are currently working on. But while I am in your home, I will let you set the rules, and make sure to be respectful of your living space especially with your pet present.
About: I've had dogs growing up and I currently have a senior cat. I'd love to pet sit or take your dog for a walk when you can't :-) I am a nurse so my schedule is very random but on my days off I'd love to spend time with your animal and care for them as you would! I have an indoor cat that is 11 years old. So she is living out her golden years with me. I can pet sit and or let dogs outside or walk them!
About: Hello! I am a Lab and Dalmatian mom. I have experience dog sitting lots of dogs from cavaliers to Bernese mountain dogs. I am a lover of all kinds of dogs. I will love and spoil your baby/babies while you are away. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have lots of time to play with your baby/babies. I’m available for boarding, sitting, or walking any day of the week. I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs to keep your baby/babies company while you’re away. I can easily crate your dog if needed too. I’ll leave that up to you.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lawrence Park
Aleah was wonderful with our boy! He's used to lots of love and attention and we can tell that he was not lacking the week we was gone. Aleah was very responsive and provided daily pictures amd updates. If you need to leave your pet with someone, I strongly suggest her!
I'm so grateful I found Amy! She accommodated my next day booking and made my time away completely worry free by providing such great care for my babies. She is great at communicating and my pets really love her, which is the most important part. Thank you for being such a great sitter :)
She took the time to meet and greet prior to the requested sitting. She was prompt and very attentive. Kobe was more excited to see Baylin than he is with us! She was respectful with the home and ensured the dog rules were followed. We highly recommend Baylin and will be using her again in the near future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Lawrence Park 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 Lawrence Park 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 Lawrence Park 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
