“My dogs are definitely not used to people but they cozey-ed right up to Leigh Ann. She kept my updated with pictures throughout, and asked ample questions beforehand so that she could make sure to provide great care. 10/10 will be calling for her again!”
“Bailee was amazing! We felt like we were leaving our pups with a family member. Her experience with dog care and her love of animals was apparent the minute we met her. She went above and beyond to make sure that the dogs were cared for, loved and treated as if they were on vacation. We felt very confident and comfortable, leaving our pups in her care. And it made our vacation week even better knowing that we didn’t have to worry about how they were doing. She is amazing! We would hire her again and again!”
“Phoebe sat our 11 yo husky in our home for the weekend. She did an outstanding job caring for her and our house. When we need a sitter in the future, Phoebe will be our first call.”
“Ruth is amazing. We were on a trip for over two weeks. She made sure the dogs and cats were loved and well-cared for the entire time we were gone. She sent updates and pictures to let us know they were all doing well. Since it was summer, our dog and cat both shed. She vacuumed the house so the dust bunnies did not conquer our planet. She is just wonderful!”
“Lauren was wonderful! Easy to work with, accommodating, and communicative. And most importantly, our pups were happy and taken care of! I would not hesitate to book again, and highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own pets as well as roommates and neighbors. I love spending time and caring for furry friends of all sizes and breeds! I work a full-time job, but in the evenings and on the weekends I am available to care for and spend time with your pets! I will do my very best to keep a consistent lifestyle and schedule for your pets by providing care in the comfort of their own home. I can provide walks, cuddles, tug-of-war battles and more!
“Cindy stayed at our house for 4 days with our beagles She was caring and attentive; she sent pictures and updates. And she was a great house guest! The dogs loved being at home and all of the extra attention that came with it. We would definitely have her take care of our pets again and we would recommend her!”
About: I’ve always been a dog family, growing up with always 2 dogs or more in my family households. When I was 20, I adopted my soul dog Dusty, who was extremely dog reactive. He showed me a lot of how to deal with reactive dogs, especially on walks and dealing with strangers who may not get that their dog may be friendly, but yours may need that extra space to be comfortable. I now also own two cats, adopted from the local shelter Paws and they have become my life. They are very clingy but also shy towards strangers. So I also very understand if you own some shy cats, I would love them just the same! I currently live all year in State College, work full time but still have plenty of time for my cats and still have more time for others. Just let me know 24 hours ahead or more and it can happen! I am fully comfortable crating all kinds of dogs, walking any breed, or dealing with any shy temperamental cat. I really love animals with all my heart, and you have my word when you’re not home- you don’t need to worry about your furry loved one back home.
“We have 2 active high maintenance dogs and when my wife and I went away for a couple of nights Maya stepped in and handled their care perfectly. She sent lots of pics and the dogs looked very happy. The house was also spotless!! I highly recommend Maya if you need to trust someone with your animals. I would definitely hire her again”
“Adriana was awesome with Kodi . She sent me lots of photos and made me feel really comfortable about leaving my fur baby. I would highly recommend her as well as plan to hire her in the future.”
“Irene was awesome. We had an initial meeting to review all details, and she sent updates and pictures of our furbabies. We will be reaching out to Irene again and highly recommend her services.”
“Beth did an outstanding job with our 3 pups while we made a quick emergency trip out of town. this was her first time with them and my older dog was on medications and she did very well with all of it! i will definitely use her again!”
“Emma was so great. She showed up early and stayed the entire requested time. She took really good care of my baby boy and even brought in a heavy package that was delivered a day early so it wouldn't be sitting outside. She was very communicative and respective of my home. I would use her again and recommend her to anyone.”
“My dogs had the pleasure of staying with Chris for a week on very short notice. She stayed in communication with pictures twice a day and my fur babies absolutely had a wonderful time. Thanks Chris for taking great care of my dogs. It was a great first experience.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Pennsylvania Furnace
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pennsylvania Furnace on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 183 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pennsylvania Furnace. 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 Pennsylvania Furnace 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 Pennsylvania Furnace 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 Pennsylvania Furnace 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pennsylvania Furnace. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
