About: I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels since I was young. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and giving medications if needed. I always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I make sure I never overbook myself so every dog gets the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I prioritize it in my weekly routine and stay consistent with walks, feedings, and playtime. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, whether I’m in my client’s home or mine. I stick to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I keep their space clean, safe, and calm, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m also happy to send updates so you always know your pet is doing well.
About: What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about making pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I grew up with dogs and have two Labradoodles back home with my mom, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’m very attentive to each pet’s personality and routine—whether they’re super playful, a little shy, or a total Velcro pet who wants to be by my side 24/7. I’m also big on communication, so you can expect plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is getting lots of attention, affection, and care! I work full-time in downtown Pittsburgh during the weekdays, with the flexibility to work remotely at least one day per week and occasionally additional days as needed. I have plenty of availability throughout the week for pet sitting, including early mornings, evenings, and overnight stays, with generally full availability on weekends! I’m always happy to coordinate around your pet’s normal routine to make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship! I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away, so I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as I can! I’m happy to stick to specific feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, or any other instructions you leave for me. I’ll give them plenty of attention and affection while also respecting their personality and space. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and will always leave things just as I found them. And of course, you can expect lots of pictures and updates so you know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for!
About: I’ve had animals since birth. Large and small dogs, many, many cats, and even a few caged animals. I cared for my last dog for 16 years and have experience with senior care because of him, including medication and mobility help and he was 100lbs+. I love animals of all kinds, I’ve worked for a stable where we took care of 30+ horses per day, and as you can see from my photos I gravitate towards all sorts of animals even goats, alligators, and llamas! I work part time but have weird hours so I can also help with weird hours. I have 3 days off every week and have open availability on those days, the other days I’m available before or after work. I’m not available for care in my own home. However when I am in your home I will treat it even better then I do my own. I will take care of your animals just like I would my own and give them the proper attention and care they need and deserve, especially tailored to how you want things done.
“Corinne was fantastic with our dog and two cats. We got lots of pictures and updates and she was very easy to work with throughout the process. We’ve already booked Corinne for our next trip and know the pets and house will be in great hands.”
“We could not have had a better experience working with Jarett. It was our first long trip away from Oliver, and he went above and beyond not only to make sure Oliver was taken care of, but that we were updated often. Thanks to Jarett, we were able to relax on vacation and come home to a happy pup and our house exactly as we left it.”
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.
“Brittany was great! She was perfect for giving Shadow attention and making him feel comfortable. She also sent pictures and communicated with me regularly while staying with him. I would definitely use her again!!”

“Alicia was fabulous! She took such wonderful care of my dog and my home while I was away! She sent lots of pics and videos! I will have her into my home again soon! She is so kind and compassionate!”
About: I got my first dog, Buster, when I was a year old and he was my absolute best friend for 14 years. I've taken care of dogs, as well as many other different species of animals, for nearly my entire life. Family and friends have trusted me to walk, feed, and bath their furry family members while going on vacations, weekend getaways, or just working long hours. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Animal Studies and was an extremely active member of my county's 4-H program. I worked in veterinary medicine for several years before branching out on my own. I currently have 4 dogs and 1 cat! I am the proud owner of Goofy Goldie Caravan, based out of Barnesville, Ohio. I travel to pet parents in the area for basic pet care needs. My services include nail trims, anal gland expressions, ear cleanings, walks/exercises, and drop-ins. I have a fenced in yard with 4 friendly dogs to keep everyone busy. I'm experienced in crate training and leash training and will be able to keep your pet safe at all costs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 693 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mingo Junction. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Mingo Junction 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 Mingo Junction 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Mingo Junction 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.
