“Mariah was great! She communicated well, sent pictures, and enjoyed spending time with the pets. They looked well taken care of and the house was left clean. Would book again!”
“Elayna was amazing while watching my dog, Moe. She was sure to send me lots of photos and updates and so easy to communicate with. Will be booking again in the future!”
“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.”
“Enjoyed having Milica take care of Lexi overnight in our home. She’s conscientious and got on well with Lexi and her communication was very consistent and helpful.”
“Rachel was fantastic! She was able to fill in for us last-minute when our regular sitter had a scheduling conflict, and took excellent care of our animals and our house! We really appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was, and were very happy with her communication skills, which included frequent updates along with pictures of our pets. We would easily recommend her services to anyone else looking for a sitter!”
“Danielle was great with Brick! She communicated really well from the start and asked all the right questions during our meet and greet, which made me feel confident leaving him in her care. While I was away, she sent regular updates and photos, and it was clear that Brick was comfortable and being well taken care of. I also felt completely comfortable having Danielle in my home. She was reliable, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure Brick was happy and cared for. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her watch Brick again!”
“Gabrielle took great care of our cats and was in constant communication with us about how they were doing, including cleaning up a plant that one had knocked over. She also sent lots of pictures which was appreciated.”
“Sam was legit amazing. One if my dogs developed an issue while she was there (entirely unrelated to her stay) and she handled it flawlessly. He was throwing up, not eating, etc and not only did she alert me right away, but she monitored him closely throughout the day while keeping me regularly updated with detailed information. She helpfully coordinated with my emergency contact to get Rudy taken to the animal hospital and then remained very flexible as I adjusted my travel to come home early. Her communication was excellent, she was very respectful of my home (couldn't even tell someone had been there) and my pups loved her. I would 10000% hire her again.”
“Ted is the best sitter we've had in a while. Our dog Casey was clearly happy and cozy with him taking care of her! Communication before/during/after the stay was great and Ted also took good care of our home. I'd definitely look to ask Ted to watch her the next time we travel.”
“We can't say enough great things about Brittany. She's very caring,friendly,knowledgeable about pets (she's a Vet Tech!), thorough,and really communicative. Giving us numerous updates while we were away. She's forward thinking, asking us questions that we hadn't given thought to. Anyone using her is lucky to have watch their pets!”
“Molly was fantastic with our pup while we were on vacation! She was great with providing updates/photos, and we appreciated that she let us know of any concerns she had during her stay. And she left our home spotless. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her sit again for us.”
“Naomi was a wonderful dog and house sitter! While traveling out of state for over a week, Naomi regularly communicated with me, providing pictures and updates on Ginger. She let me know how she was eating, how walks had gone, and her reactivity. Naomi is very responsible, mature, and an excellent communicator. I would hire her again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of friends and families pets for years now. Mostly walking and playing with them, but occasionally administering medication as well. Super detail oriented so happy to follow the needs of your pets! I am currently in grad school once or twice a week at night while working part time. It gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day to hang with your babies. My kitties are spoiled with lots of toys and trees and scratching posts. Any dog I see will be greeted and played with immediately when permitted by the owner. Truly just want any pet to know they are cared for and valued.
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: 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.
“My dog Serena fell in love with Regan. I came home to two well taken care of pets. Regan always sent me updates, and when I returned the house was clean and orderly. I will definitely use Regan again in the future.”
About: I’ve had a family dog since the day I was born, and have been caring for dogs since I was a little girl. Neighbors, family, and friends have trusted and relied on me to perform basic duties while they were unavailable. Whether it be feeding, walking, playing, or just chilling with your furry family member(s), I would love to help out. I’ve assisted in training multiple puppies, taking neighborhood dogs on walks, continued to house break young dogs, and have helped senior dogs move around the house safely. I am a college student at the University of Pittsburgh (H2P!) meaning that while my schedule varies day to day, it is fairly consistent throughout the year. Other then that, I am available whenever needed. Even if my availability marks differently, let me know! I’m sure we can work something out! I understand that everyone parents their fur-babies differently, and because of that, I like to ask you how I can interact with them. Wether they need a strong trainer or just a companion, I am able to provide. Other then that, when visiting your house I would prefer a simple way for me to enter and exit without worrying what your dog will do, and a leash/harness/collar that you and your dog both feel comfortable with.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Millvale is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Millvale
After having booked her for a couple of walks and a check-in, this time Heather took care of our dog while we were away on a 2-night long trip. This was our first time going out of town and leaving our dog with another person so we weren't sure exactly how it would go and what to expect. Heather did a really great job taking care of our dog and making sure he's not just safe and fed but is also having a good time while his people are gone. She treated our home with lots of care as well and it was spotless when we came back. Communication before and during the stay was easy. She seems very flexible and in our experience will accommodate any reasonable request you might have. We're planning to book her again.
I can't say enough good things about Elayna. She checked in often and sent plenty of photos, so I always knew how Finlay was doing. I didn't have to wonder or worry, which meant a lot after a rough experience with a previous sitter. I'd been anxious about leaving Finlay. She also left a report card at the end that genuinely made me smile. It was fun and thoughtful, and you can tell she pays attention. I'm really appreciative of the peace of mind she gave me. Finlay loved her and so did I. Would absolutely book again.
Rachel was fantastic! She took great care of our home and babies while we were out of town. She followed our very detailed list of instructions and provided lots of updates and photos, which we loved. She asked thoughtful questions and was very diligent in her care for our cats. She was also very respectful of our home and made us feel very comfortable having her stay over. We will absolutely recommend her to others!
This was our first time leaving our pup and we were very nervous. Cheyenne was so accommodating doing a meet and greet right away and also doing a trial walk with me and Ivy. She followed all the instructions I gave and our pup was very happy to have a new friend! Would definitely book Cheyenne again!
We had such a great experience with Sarah while we were away for 10 days. She took amazing care of our cats, handled all of their medications perfectly, and also took great care of our home. One of our cats even needed to go to the vet while we were away, and she handled everything without any issues and kept us updated with all of the information from the vet. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her!
This is our third time using Riley with our pups for overnight stays. She is fantastic! They love it when she arrives. She is always responsive when we check in and also sends occasional unsolicited updates. When we arrive home, both the house and pups are in great shape! We can’t ask for more!

The average cost of House Sitting in Millvale is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $89 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 Millvale 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 Millvale 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 Millvale 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.
