“This was my first booking with Heather and she exceeded all of my expectations. She communicated clearly and gave me peace of mind while I was away. And went above and beyond in preparing the house for my return. And, I returned to a happy kitty. I will definitely book with Heather again.”
“Evan did a wonderful job watching my two rescue babies and our home for 5 nights. He is kind, reliable and detail oriented. His communication is clear and timely. I was able to relax while I was away because I knew they were in loving and capable hands. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“Mariah was awesome! She sent me pictures of my pups daily. I felt so confident they were in good hands! She left my house clean. Like she was not even there. Thanks so much Mariah!!”
“David was very accommodating and patient with my grumpy dog. It gave such peace of mind to have him in our home while I was away so that the pets wouldn't get too lonely.”
“Cam went above and beyond to comfort our dog during 4th of July fireworks! Our dog was well taken care of, and clearly felt comfortable with Cam.”
“Autumn did a great job with Mack & Aries while I was traveling on a work trip. They were both comfortable with her and I will not hesitate to use Autumn again for future house sitting needs.”
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.
“Caitlin was amazing! She is the best sitter I got on Rover! She stayed hours making company to my cat Leia and I have no words to thank her for being so loving with her.”
“Milica was absolutely WONDERFUL! She sent loads of photos, was very communicative, and took excellent care of the home and the dogs. I could tell from photos and daily stories how happy and comfortable the dogs were with her. What's more, when our flight home was cancelled and we had to drive back, delaying our arrival by more than 15 hours, Milica went above and beyond to make sure our girls were taken care of and reassured us that she would be there for them as long as it took! We will absolutely use Milica again in the future.”
“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’ve booked Darra multiple times for housesitting while going out if state. Our dog Henry is very particular about who he likes, and tough with new people but he loves Darra and has since the beginning. We will definitely be having her take care of our dogs again in the next trip we go on!”
“Bryce followed all care instructions for Max. It was great to receive daily pictures of Max during walks or breaks. He did a great job caring for our family pet while being away overseas. I highly recommend him and look forward to needing him again in the future. Thanks for caring for Max!”
“Emma was there to help when I needed someone on short notice, and more importantly, she's great with Zero! A video of him happily playing fetch was the best part of my time away, and I can't thank Emma enough for thinking to send it to me!”
About: I grew up with a reactive black lab, so I know how to handle leash pulling and how to deescalate and prevent fights. In her old age, I learned to accommodate her failing joints. I’ve been trained at the Licking County Humane Society in Ohio as a volunteer dog walker, which has well equipped me to understand and respond respectfully to dog language. I further pursue this knowledge by reading about how dogs communicate with us, and by observing and analyzing their behavior both in real life and online. This will be my primary commitment, so I can easily cater to your schedule to fit your pets needs. Mornings, evenings, weekends, whatever you need, except Thursdays :) I will take great care to follow your instructions and respect the rules of your home and needs of your animal(s). I cannot accept boarding in my own home at the moment.
“Mariah was wonderful - and so incredibly accommodating to our needs, as we travel across country. She took the girls, (Cher and Dion), on long walks to see the sights and sniffs of the city - and provided me with all the pictures I could ever want. Couldn't recommend her enough and will definitely be reaching out again the next time we're back in Pittsburgh.”
“Salem was an amazing choice! It was my first time having someone stay in the house to care for my pets. But he put me completely at ease. Took such good care of the babies. We have pretty specific care instructions, and he followed them to a T. He spent so much time with them. He was very communicative. He left the house immaculate. I would 10/10 use him again. If you're looking for a trustworthy amazing sitter for your pets! Salem is your person!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sharpsburg
Autumn did an awesome job staying at my house watching Mack and Aries while I was out of town. She followed the detailed instructions and I came home to happy pups and the house was in good condition. I def recommend her and would utilize her again for house sitting.
Emma did a great job being flexible and taking care of our dog for a week! She allowed for a hybrid of boarding and sitting that worked well as our family grew by another human. She gave us daily updates of his adventures and romps around town and daily walks and activities.
Jackie worked amazingly well with my Izzy cat. Izzy went immediately to Jackie upon meet & greet. I was very surprised since Izzy is usually shy or tends to swat new friends. Jackie was on time, followed feeding & litter instructions and treated Izzy with care & love. Im so relieved to have found her. Thank you again, Jackie Thank you Rover. Great site.
Julia house sat/stayed with my dog Otis. She was really great with him, sent pictures, and my place was clean when I got home. She was also very responsive. This was my first time using rover and it was a super positive experience thanks to Julia. I’d recommend her for sure!
Maura is great. She very quickly won over our 'people cautious' girl and made quick friends with the rest of our herd. She was very communicative through the visit with pictures and messages And we came back to a clean house and happy herd. Will definitely be using Maura for our pet sitting needs in the future.
Krisha house sat our 8 month old puppy for a weekend & did a great job. She gave regular updates, followed our typical schedule, and continued some of the training we had started doing. She kept our home clean and made sure we had a tired pup to come back to. Her work and effort was greatly appreciated and our pup made a new friend!
Anne stayed with our beagle for a long weekend and did a terrific job! Anne is attentive to details, managed some basic meds for our dog, and was sensitive to our dog's needs during exceedingly hot weather as well as a thunder storm. We already have Anne booked for a trip later this year -- she is reliable, an excellent communicator, and our dog loves her! Thanks Anne!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sharpsburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sharpsburg on Rover is $37.45 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 1,480 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sharpsburg. 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 Sharpsburg 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 Sharpsburg 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 Sharpsburg 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.
