“Natalie was AWESOME with Grey! She came to meet him a few times, before she stayed with him, to insure he was comfortable with her. She was very good with Grey. She played with him more than we do, I am sure. She sent us pictures and videos multiple times a day. She contacted me if something arose that I had not mentioned or explained about his idiosyncrasies. He loves her, and so do we. We were concerned that he would want to go with her, when she left / went home from the stay!! That is how much she did for him.”
“Michael did an amazing job taking care of our 15 year old dachshund while we were on vacation. He sent lots of photos and updates to put our minds at ease. Our dog was happy as could be upon our return. Would absolutely book with Michael again!”
“Betty loves Kaleigh so much and Kaleigh is a trooper for taking our girl out in the cold to make sure she gets her walks in!!! I have such peace of mind knowing she’s in good hands while we travel”
“Chelsea was absolutely outstanding! She was incredibly responsive, punctual, kind, and professional. She even came for a meet-and-greet to help our pup feel comfortable and stayed longer than scheduled to ensure she was okay. Flexible, caring, and clearly passionate—highly recommend!”
About: I've been pet-sitting on and off since high school. I love dogs and cats equally, and have experience with senior dogs as well. I've even taken care of bunnies and lizards! In late 2019 I moved to a place that doesn't allow pets. I deeply love animals and miss having them in my life because our animals become part of our families. I'm beyond excited to return to Rover and get to know your furry family members. You'll see I'm highly attentive to your instructions and the needs of your animal, and will keep up steady communication to give you peace of mind. Let's chat! My day job is part-time, Mon-Fri 9-2, so I'm available throughout the week and on weekends! Routines are important to animals, so I'll do my best to stop in at consistent times while you're gone. I understand separation anxiety from a senior poodle named Ruby who really missed her person. She also sundowned in her final days. Spending overnights with animals helps reassure them they aren't alone, and keeps the house looking lived-in while you're gone.
“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.”
“This is my second time booking Autumn to stay in my home to take care of my dog and cat. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her! My pets got plenty of love and hugs. Autumn was very responsive and made me feel as ease being away from home.”
“Sandra took care of our pup with such care and absolute kindness when Izzy was having a hard time with our leaving. She forwarded regular updates and the best pics of them on walks & relaxing by the fireplace. We recommend her by far as one of the best sitters we have ever worked with on Rover. Highly recommend!”
“Patrick did an outstanding job caring for our dog and home. He was attentive, responsible, and kept us well-informed with great communication throughout. Our dog was clearly well cared for, and we returned to a spotless house. We would not hesitate to book him again and highly recommend him to others.”
“Tamakia was absolutely an amazing sitter for our fur babies! She kept us up to date with everything and sent us pictures/videos and went above an beyond what she needed to do. We did not have to worry about them not even one time. We definitely will be getting her again to watch them!!!”
About: Dogs, big or small I love them all! I've been happily dog sitting for 10+ years and have extended my services via Rover. Unless you object I will walk your fur baby 1-2 times each day (depending on temps) allowing him/her to sniff out the neighborhood news. I am retired so your fur baby won't be alone for long periods of time. I've volunteered as a dog walker at Pima Animal Care Center PACC for 2+ years so I've had plenty of experience handling dogs who may be stressed due to an interruption in their daily routine. I believe when you give a dog love, respect and direction you'll have a loyal friend for life! I'm looking forward to temporarily taking care of your best friend! I am an early riser so I can walk the dogs before the sidewalks heat up and again at sunset giving them the opportunity to sniff around. I am retired so dogs are not left alone for long periods of time Over the last few years I've cared for more than 65 dogs (many different breeds) and I've loved them all! From Chihuahuas to Pitties. From Jack Russells to Rottweilers, from Toy Poodles to Goldendoodles they're all so loveable.
“Ja’Vae was fantastic! She stayed at our house while we were away for a week and watched our dog and cat. She was super communicative, was so patient with our nervous dog, and really respectful of our home. She left everything so tidy. Would definitely book again!”
“Plachette gave all the right attention to our two cats,two dogs and 5 fish tanks- she was responsive and engaging throughout our week long trip. Her maturity and experince put us as ease, and her empathy and compassion with our fur-family was obvious from the moment she met them. We will definitely be repeat customers.”
“Jacen did a fantastic job!!! We booked for 6 separate nights for stay overs at our house and everything went smoothly. Jacen is flexible and even watered our plants and took down some trash while we were gone. The cats were well taken care of and the communication was excellent. Highly recommend Jacen!”
About: I have four years of hands on experience as a kennel technician, caring for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. I specialize in maintaining clean, safe environments, providing enrichment, and offering plenty of love and attention. I’m confident handling puppies, senior pets, and administering basic medications, ensuring every pet feels comfortable and cared for while their family is away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine as I currently work as a Lead Kennel Technician. I dedicate mornings and evenings to feeding, walking, and engaging with pets, and I am available for pet sitting and drop-in visits during my off days /hours. I enjoy spending quality time with animals every day. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I create a calm, welcoming environment and follow any specific instructions provided by pet parents. In a client’s home, I ensure pets remain in familiar surroundings and maintain their routines. If pets are in my care, I provide secure spaces, enrichment activities, and close supervision to make sure they are happy and safe.
“Autumn was amazing! She sat our older dog in our home, and while we have a fenced in yard she took her for daily walks and our dogs level of mobility improved as a result. She went above and beyond the necessary and we will use her again in a heartbeat”
About: I have loved animals since I was a small child. I got my first cat over 15 years ago and still love her dearly. My parents wouldn’t allow me to have a dog so I had to wait until I moved out when I was 20. After buying my house I rescued my neighbors dog that was permanently locked up in an outdoor kennel. Unfortunately she already had Lyme disease so it was for less than a year that I was able to give her a good quality of life. I then adopted my ex-coworkers German Shepard who was 5. Unfortunately despite all my efforts to have her live longer than her lifespan I lost her years later due to paralyzing seizures. Not too long after that I sold my house and have not been stable enough to get another dog due to my constant traveling. I love dogs and want to have another but can’t make a life long commitment at this time. However I can make a day/week/month long commitment to take care of your loved dog. It would be a pleasure to take care of your fur baby/babies. I work from home so I’m only gone for a couple/few hours out of the day to go to the gym and maybe grocery shop. I frequently go on walks when the weather permits and would love to bring your dog with me. If you have a dog who pulls as hard as they can I do prefer that you have a gentle leader. I am available all days and times when I am not traveling. I have a large yard at the end of a cul-de-sac in a nice neighborhood. I do have two cats who have lived with dogs before. If watching your loved pet I ask for details on what your expectations are to insure that you are 100 percent satisfied with my care for your fur baby.
About: I've cared for dogs since I was young and have handled dogs both large and small. I've cared for cats since 2019, I am newer to them technically, but I love how different they can be. I run my own business, so making my own hours allows me a lot of wiggle room on doing check-ins or rearranging my day to allow for walks. My home is a temple to good vibes and my happy lil buddies (Sprout and Tansy) get along with everyone they've met so far.
“I was so anxious leaving my dog with separation anxiety alone for the first time but Angel was fantastic with him! They were also fantastic with our cat, who had developed eye issues just days before we were leaving and was able to treat her. I would definitely recommend angel for anyone that has dogs that need a little extra help.”
About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember! I’ve also had the privilege of working at a doggy daycare/boarding business for several summers, where I absolutely loved caring for clients’ pets. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to sweet senior pups. If you have concerns about a senior dog, don’t worry—I’m very comfortable following specific schedules, administering routines, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Whether your dog needs lots of playtime or a calm, gentle companion, I’m happy to provide a safe and comfortable experience while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend!!! I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week. I’m typically available Monday through Friday at any time, and I can accommodate a variety of routines and needs. While I prefer weekdays, I may be able to help on weekends with advance notice I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. In your home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, walk routines, or any specific care your pet needs. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I keep a clean and secure environment, making sure doors, gates, and leashes are always properly handled. During walks, I stay alert and avoid unsafe situations to keep your pet protected.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Murrysville
Jessica took care of our two Goldens for 8 days - and she did an amazing job! We left very detailed instructions for our pups, and she followed them to the tee. We did in-home sitting and she took fantastic care of our home as well. Jessica provided daily updates and tons of pictures and videos. Overall, she went above and beyond and we will be booking again in a heartbeat (and so would our pups!).

FAQs for House Sitting - Murrysville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Murrysville on Rover is $77.7 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,385 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Murrysville. 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 Murrysville 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 Murrysville 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 Murrysville 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
