“Isabella was great with my puppy Leo! She took great care of him as well as my apartment during the time I was away. I also really appreciated her communication throughout my trip whether it was aligning on timing or sending me photo updates of Leo periodically. She made my trip less stressful and I would be happy to have her watch Leo 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!”
“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.”
“This was our first time entrusting Patrick with our house and pups. We were quite confident in our decision when, during the meet and greet, Patrick inquired about our care routines in detail, which we hadn’t been asked before. Throughout our trip, Patrick kept us informed about our pups’ well-being by sending us pictures of their adventures. We appreciated receiving these updates as they allowed us to stay connected while we were away. We highly recommend Patrick for future dog-sitting needs and believe he would be a great fit for your requirements as well.”
“Traisaun does a great job with our fur kids. We can always tell how good of a time they had by how excited they are when we get back. Even though we were gone for the weekend, they barely acted like we had gone to the store, which means they barely missed us not being here. Even the rabbit, who doesn’t like everyone, looks around for Traisaun after he leaves. Aside from being great with our fur kids, Traisaun is very reliable and trustworthy. We will continue to hire Traisaun as long as we can!”
“Milica was a great sitter for our dog while we were away. Very communicative about the dog and the house. She was considerate and brought in mail and packages. Our dog was a happy guy while we were gone, based on the pictures and videos she sent 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: Hi! Here because I love dogs! Very responsible and caring dog person who loves to hangout with all types, mostly watched German shepherds and pit bulls and one wiry shitzu I have been dogsitting since I was a kid. Avid runner so your dog will be ready for a nap! Would love to find a dog who needs a walk once a week or more regularly, it’s so hard to say goodbye only seeing them once! Or if you need an overnight sitter, I live in a quiet apartment far from Carson street(loud college kids won’t be a problem)! Just got out of school at Pitt. Working full time in the late afternoons but everyday my mornings and early afternoons are open and then I’m off every Friday and Saturday. Live in the Southside flats area so plenty of nice areas to take your pup for a walk!
“We had a great experience with Sarah for a 5 day getaway. She asked appropriate questions, was very communicative and sent photos, kept the house clean and took great care of our dogs while we were away. Its such a relief to have someone trustworthy and reliable. We will definitely book her again!”
“Jackie is a fantastic sitter! Dexter warmed up to her quickly and she took such good care of him. She was extremely attentive to his needs and great at communicating and providing updates on how he was doing each day. I really appreciate how she went the extra mile to make sure Dexter felt comfortable, safe and happy! It was amazing to have peace of mind while being away that my dog was in great hands. Will definitely be hiring Jackie again!”
“She gave me the best updates about my boys! I was also worried about my flight getting canceled and she offered to come back and stay the night if it did get cancelled! Absolutely would recommend her!”
“We had the absolute best experience with Kaylee as our dog and cat sitter! She took such amazing care of our pets and made being away from home completely stress-free. She sent us tons of pictures and regular updates, which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. It was clear from every update that our pets were happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. On top of being wonderful with our pets, Kaylee was incredibly respectful of our home. We came back to the house cleaner and neater than we left it, which was such a pleasant surprise! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would 100% book Kaylee again in a heartbeat! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, communicative, and responsible to watch their pets and home”
“Had previously used Kaitlyn for a drop in for 3 little dogs who have pea sized bladders and require walks every 3 hours. They also don't always agree on routing which is to say they are not necessarily easy to walk. This time, she stayed at our home for 4 days. All went perfectly. Kaitlyn is meticulous about following directions give and is genuinely concerned about providing the same level of care that pups get from their owners. We give Kaitlyn 12 paws up and plan to use her often.”
About: I've been a pet owner my whole life. I love staying active and going on walks so I can adjust to your pets needs and wants. I have experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats, old and young. I am a graduate student so on off days I am able to spend time just hanging out with the animals as needed. I am currently attending graduate school. I am completely free most weekends and Mondays with a few exceptions. I am available to stay nights for dog sitting and am free in the late afternoons all week. I can follow any instructions given for each pet. I know each pet may have different needs and can adjust as needed. If pets have routines I will work my best to ensure to keep them on track and can crate in needed.
“Jess was so fantastic with our (sometimes demanding) big lab, Badger. She knew just how to handle him and seemed very comfortable. She gave many updates with pictures and videos of Badger having fun and just hanging out, which put our mind at ease. Jess went above and beyond by bringing one of Badger's favorite treats to win him over. Jess was warm, friendly, professional, and we would highly recommend her!”
“I can not say enough good things about Mallory! From beginning to end, she was professional and caring. She stayed in our home and treated it with respect...went above and beyond what I would have expected. I am so thankful for the positive experience we had with Mallory!!! No doubt she will be our top choice again when we need care for our pets.”
About: I’ve been around every kind of dog since I can remember from taking care of Boston Terriers to St. Bernard’s! I love to take our family dog on hikes and even used to run with him! I also have experience with cats as I have 2 of my own. I work part time during the week and weekends. I can be around for afternoon visits and scheduled walks. I love to be outside in nature with animals! I have 2 cats that are comfortable around other peoples pets including other dogs. I am very near, tidy, organized, and respectful of others spaces.
About: I’ve always been a dog lover and both me and brother rescued Labrador early prior to the covid year. We love him so much and since I moved countries he now lives with my parents in India. I wear a paw on my necklace which is a memory that he is not far away and will always take care of my parents behind me. Zorro now sits on the dinner table and enjoys all family meals. As someone with medical training and a responsible active lifestyle, I am calm under pressure, highly dependable and attentive to routines, medications, special care needs and feeding schedule. Whether your pet is playful or prefer quiet companionship I’m happy to adapt to their personality and needs. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family 🐾 I relocated to Pittsburgh from Boston for my medical training this year. I thrive on a schedule and can work if we plan the days well in advance together. I will be open to taking care of your pet as needed and happy to coordinate a schedule for walks/boarding at my house with you. My partner and I are trustworthy, active, and organized, and we genuinely care about making your dog feel safe and loved while you're away from home. 🐾 I live in an apartment with my spouse who has grown up all around dogs as pets since he was a kid so we both love dogs but don’t have one of our own currently. Your pet is allowed on our sofa and enjoy the area of a one bedroom. If I am at your home, I will aim to make your pet feel as comfortable and stress free as possible while the owner is way by keeping a normal routine in their own home environment. I will carefully follow your instructions and communication is very important to me, so I can provide regular updates , photos and check-in to help the owner feel reassured. As someone with a medical background I am very attentive to details and safety.

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.
Isabella has been SO wonderful to my animals. Two big dogs and a cat can be hard to manage but she's so great with all of them and they are always happy to see her. Even my neighbor said the dogs look like they're having so much fun when they're with her. Would recommend 10/10.
Rochelle was amazing when she housesat with my 4 pets (2 dogs and 2 blind cats)! She provided lots of pictures throughout each day and gave me plenty of updates so I knew my pets were in great care the whole time!! My pets loved how attentive she was. ❤️ I will definitely be rebooking with Rochelle in the future!
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!
Our pup is wary of strangers and takes some time to warm up. Zoe understood the assignment perfectly - she is an amazing pet sitter. She had Samantha won over on the first day of the stay which gave us peace of mind to enjoy our 10 day trip. She communicated daily, asked questions when she had them and left the house in perfect order. We will definitely use her in the future!
Megan is a gift. She took such good care of my babies while I was away. My senior Chihuahua gets pretty moody when I am away. He refuses to eat. Megan is magical and got him to eat. She also brought in my packages and put my pet food way. She is definitely a gifted person. Highly recommend.
Geoff was fantastic with our dog while we were away on a two-week international vacation. Before our trip, he took the time to come to our home for a meet-and-greet, asked thoughtful questions, and made it clear that he wanted to keep her routine as normal and comfortable as possible. He arrived prepared and early on the day we left, which made our departure completely stress-free. We love receiving updates, and Geoff went above and beyond by sending multiple photos each day, along with detailed and entertaining updates about the great time they were having. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for. Geoff also took excellent care of our home and left everything clean and exactly as he found it. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend Geoff to anyone looking for a dependable, attentive, caring, and groovy sitter!
Keri was wonderful! It was my first time leaving my puppy for the whole day and so I was a little nervous about how she’d do but Keri sent updates and adorable pictures that put me at ease. I also appreciated her attentiveness when we were going over all of the details she’d need to know for the day.

FAQs for House Sitting - O'Hara Township
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in O'Hara Township is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $53 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 1,427 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across O'Hara Township. 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 O'Hara Township 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 O'Hara Township 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 O'Hara Township 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
