“Taylor did a great job house sitting while we were on vacation. She took great care of our home, two dogs & cat. She was very responsive & sent us pictures of our boys while we were gone. I would definitely request her again in the future.”
“Casie stayed at our house for a week when we were out of town. She did a great job! Since this was my first time using Rover, Casie lead the way & did a great job! She came ahead of our reservation for a meet & greet which was a great idea! Casie sent pictures through the week. We loved being able to see our pets while we were away! The entire experience was so smooth & easy. Thanks to Casie for taking care of our pets!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and have been caring for them my entire life. I have experience with both large and small dogs as well as cats. I’m currently home from college for the summer and working part time so I have a good amount of time on my hands, especially on Sundays and Mondays. I experience with almost every type of pet care you can think of including things like bathing, crating, playing, walking, feeding, and even giving medication.
“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!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Teresa. We wanted someone to stay in our house and dog sit our rescue dog while we were on vacation. From the first moment we met Teresa we had confidence that she was the right person. Teresa arrived for our meet and greet with a thorough questionnaire that proved her earnestness to provide quality care for our dog and our house. The entire time we were away, she sent videos and photos that gave us peace knowing our dog was in good hands. We returned home to a happy dog and a tidy house. I highly recommend Teresa. Your pet will love her and you will too.”
“We had a great experience with Corinne! She was kind, attentive, and very communicative throughout the entire time. We felt completely comfortable leaving Macey in her care, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and we would absolutely trust her with Macey again in the future.”
“Taylor was great! She responded quickly to messages. She reached out with updates and pictures as well. We had a senior dog and one that was fearful of fireworks and she was able to medicate. We really appreciated having her here too care for them.”
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. I have looked after dogs of all sizes. I thoroughly enjoy the presence of puppies and have had the pleasure of training puppies, caring for elder dogs, and everything in between Currently, I am conducting research at the University of Buffalo til the end of July. I am working a typical 9-5 but have all time around that flexible. I can work nights are even early in the morning as well, but lunch time check ins will be difficult for me. I am staying in a dormitory at the University of Buffalo so I will not be able to offer any services at my temporary residence, but I can offer dog walks, check ins, feedings, anything that can be done early in the morning or after 5 pm.
“Tina was outstanding! She gave me daily updates on how my boy Chef was and was overall very thorough with making sure he was well taken care of. I will be reaching out to her again next time I need someone to watch Chef.”
About: I have been dog sitting for over 3 years and have experience caring for a variety of breeds, sizes, and ages. I am also a sitter with Freedom Paws, where I care for service dogs when their raisers are in class or at work. Many of these dogs are puppies under one year old, so I help reinforce their training, including basic obedience, socialization, and leash manners. In addition, I have experience dog sitting and house sitting for families, caring for dogs with a variety of needs. I am comfortable caring for puppies and can administer medications according to owners' instructions to help ensure pets stay healthy and comfortable while in my care. I work full-time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Friday mornings. However, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursday mornings until noon, and Fridays after 2:00 PM. I also have weekends completely free and am comfortable providing overnight and weekend pet sitting when needed. I offer in-home pet sitting so your pet can stay relaxed in the comfort of their own home. I take time to learn each pet's routine and preferences, ensuring they receive consistent care, exercise, affection, and attention. I am reliable, respectful of your home, and happy to provide updates and photos throughout my stay so you always know how your pet is doing!
About: I have taken care of friends and family's dogs of different breeds and all ages. I have had dogs my whole life and have years of experience. I am currently on summer break from college and I am looking for work that I enjoy and can balance my art career with. Dog sitting is perfect for me as it is something I love to do but also gives me the time I need for my career. At home, I have a fenced in yard and make sure my dogs go outside about every 2-4 hours. They get breakfast and dinner around the same time everyday. Because of my dogs anxiety issues, I also groom them at home. I am very attentive and patient with any animal I interact with.
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life, my parents have a blue heeler/husky mix currently that I take care of weekly, walk and love. I have had experience with puppy’s, abandoned dogs, foster dogs and senior dogs. As well as over 20 different breeds. I have walked my neighbors dogs my whole life and want to help out others and give pets the love and care during the day that they deserve! I do have a full time flexible job that is work from home. I am able to set my own schedule and I am able to help those and their pets who don’t have as flexible of a schedule and that’s what I am here to do! I have a safe neighborhood dog walking friendly. Or usually choose to walk dogs where their owners usually take them so they are comfortable while walking or being taken care of by a new face! Try to keep everything as normal as the pet is used to by their owner.
“Wow… we were very pleased with our experience with Brianna from the very beginning to the end. Brianna did an outstanding job and was very professional. Our dog took to her very quickly. When she stayed in home, she ran our daily routine perfectly. She is very knowledgeable and she takes her job very seriously. Our dog takes medications daily for seizures, so with Brianna’s background/experience, we felt comfortable leaving our dog with her. She sent daily updates (pictures/ videos) which made leaving our fur baby a little less stressful. We will definitely be booking with Brianna again!”
“Kaylee was wonderful! Her love for animals is very apparent, and we knew our dog was well taken care of while we were away! We will definitely be using her for future dog sitting! Would highly recommend!!”
“Crystal was absolutely wonderful. She was very attentive and accommodating with our two pups while we went on a week long vacation. We are so thankful that she took such great care of our pets as if they were her own. Will definitely use again in the future!”
“Natalie was great with our pup Finn. He ended up having a double ear infection and Natalie had no problem with administering his ear drops. She was super responsive and sent lots of pictures. Highly recommend Natalie and we have already booked her again!”

I had Albert for the 1st time over this weekend. He was very friendly, reliable and great with my Labrador Sunshine. She is 2 1/2, high energy and 73 lbs. Albert handled her very well and took very good care of her. I already have him booked again this summer!

FAQs for House Sitting - Saxonburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,339 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saxonburg. 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 Saxonburg 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 Saxonburg 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 Saxonburg 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.
