“Bri and her partner Jake did such an excellent job caring for our older dog with separation anxiety. From the start of the meet and greet I knew that they would be able to give him the patient care and attention we wanted him to have while we were away. They were detail oriented and asked thoughtful questions in order to understand his needs and routines. Before the stay, they were responsive and communicative making sure to confirm all the details. During the stay they provided the perfect amount of updates (including photos and videos) so we were assured he was doing well but still able to be present during our trip. We felt at ease knowing that he was well cared for and could tell that they were doing everything they could to help him feel comfortable while we were away. The cherry on top was that we came home to a clean house! They went above and beyond to clean up after themselves and leave our home better than they found it. Would definitely recommend them and will be booking with them again for future stays.”
“Katelyn did a great job watching our animals, and I was happy that our shy Great Dane warmed up to her. I like Katelyn’s honesty and conscientious attitude. Thank you Katelyn!”
“Abby was wonderful! Both of my dogs were exceptionally cared for. She kept me up-to-date while she was house sitting. She exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend Abby for your pet sitting needs!”
“EXCELLENT!!! My dog Charlie loved her so much. I needed her to come back later in the day after I came home,and he went crazy seeing her again lol. So I'll definitely use her again. She followed every detail and left my place just as clean as I left it. And she is SUPER sweet”
“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.”
“We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for Rex. He stayed with Kasey and Alyssa over Christmas and was treated like part of the family. He even received a Christmas gift. Rex had a wonderful time playing with their cats and dogs, and it was clear he felt comfortable, happy, and loved the entire stay. They are incredibly caring, attentive, and thoughtful, and kept us at ease knowing Rex was in such good hands. We are truly grateful for the love and care they gave him and would absolutely recommend them to anyone. We will definitely book with them again!”
“Mariah was so lovely to work with, she and I met a few weeks prior for a M&G and she presented professionally and was so kind towards us and the pets. Our babies had a wonderful stay and we’ve already booked her for a week long trip next week that we’re looking forward to. Thank you Mariah!”
“My Lucky is very spoiled and Lindsey did a great job with him! From keeping him on his schedule to judging if he needed allergy meds, she was attentive to his needs. She kept me informed of what was happening and sent pics, which helped to put my mind at ease and made my trip more enjoyable, knowing I didn't have to worry about him. Lucky obviously trusted her and didn't hesitate to cuddle with her:) I also came home to an immaculate house, which was great after being away for 12 days. I will definitely be calling on Lindsey in the future!!”
About: I have owned Rottweilers my entire life, I currently own two. They are my entire world! Apart from them, I also have 4 cats! Learning about animals- I went to a veterinary training class in 10th grade, and I have worked at doggy daycares for two years now, totaling about 3.5 years working with animals altogether now! Animals are my passion, and I plan on working with them for the rest of my life! I work at a doggy daycare with no set schedules, so I am pretty flexible! I am able to stay overnight, and depending on my work schedule, I can hang out with your pets either all day, all morning, or all afternoon and evening! I would absolutely love to spend the most time I can with your fur babies. If you’re ever interested, I could see about bringing your pet with me to work! My longest shifts are 10 hours on Saturdays when I get scheduled! Other than that, my shifts are no longer than 6.5 hours max!! I also work swing-shifts on sundays, so i’m able to spend about 2 1/2 hours inbetween 3 hour shifts with your baby! I treat everybody’s pets as if they were my own. I can administer medicine, and I am always very alert for any problems that may arise, and how their behavior is! I am the biggest animal lover and will spoil your pets indefinitely! I follow meal plans very well and I’m very good with instructions and specific care. And of course, you will be getting daily updates and any messages if anything happens!
“I am very happy I chose Mamie to dogsit my Rosie for my week long vacation. She sent regular updates about Rosie’s mood, activities and cute little anecdotes, as well as lots of pictures. Besides the updates Mamie was quick to reply to messages and was even so kind as to pick up a refill that Rosie needed. I would definitely rebook her :)”
“Kacy is wonderful with our shy and quirky dog! She provides regular pictures and updates about how things are going, so I never worry. She also takes great care of our home while we're away.”
“Taylor was amazing! We were so thankful during our trip. Our flight was delayed and she was flexible and helped ensure our dogs were cared after! When we got hour our dogs were happy and clearly cared for! Highly recommend!”
“This was the first time we used Courtney to watch our pup. She was responsive and sent us lots of pictures of Molly. When we came home, the only evidence of Courtney being there was our happy and well cared for pup. She left the house in impeccable order. We will definitely be using Courtney again!”
“If you need a house/dog sitter, look no further! Lauren was absolutely awesome. We have a 100lb Doberman who is very sweet but he is high energy and can be a lot to handle for people not used to large high energy dogs. Lauren took care of him with no issues at all while staying at our house for 5 nights. She gave him regular walks and spent a ton of time with him. She also was great at sending pictures and updates. Finally, she took great care of our house and respected our rules. She was great all around!”
“Thank you Kaitlyn! Our big shy Great Dane, rescue kitty cat, and our home were weIl cared for by Kaitlyn. I appreciate Kaitlyn's patience with a water issue, and her consideration in putting away a delivery of frozen fish (that would otherwise have been a stinky homecoming!). The animals were safe and sound and the house was clean, kitchen sparkling (I noticed!) when we returned home. I could tell the animals were comfortable around Kaitlyn and I hope she will come back again.”
“Kate and her family are so amazing and kind. You can tell how much they all love animals and care deeply for them. They provided me with updates to make me feel at ease that my baby boy was having a blast and being well taken care of while I was away. I feel so much more comfortable having a loving family to watch over him during my adventures that he isn't as keen to join in on.”
“Mike was absolutely wonderful. He watched our pups in our home and I felt safe and stress free. My dogs were in such great care. They loved him... maybe a little too much! I would definitely book with him again.”
“Briauna was wonderful! She stayed with both our dogs for the weekend. She sent pictures and kept us informed all weekend about the dogs! Will definitely rebook next time!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sewickley Heights
I had a wonderful experience! I particularly like that I received so many pictures. They went above and beyond and truly loved my dogs like my own. One of my dogs is anxious and they knew exactly how to handle that. I was able to not worry on vacation because of the care I received.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sewickley Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,460 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sewickley Heights. 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 Sewickley Heights 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 Sewickley Heights 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 Sewickley Heights 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.

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.
