About: I have hands-on experience working in a veterinary hospital, giving me experience caring for dogs and cats with a variety of needs. I am comfortable with feeding, medications, monitoring behavior, and providing individualized care. I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s routine. I’m especially passionate about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. I am generally available Monday through Friday outside of my work hours, and I have additional flexibility on Saturdays and Sundays. I typically work around 9 AM–5 PM on weekends, but I’m still available for evening and overnight care. I may also have occasional work on Thursdays, but I will always communicate my availability clearly and make sure I can give your pets the time and attention they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My veterinary experience has taught me the importance of paying attention to changes in behavior, following care instructions carefully, and creating a calm environment for pets. I will treat your home with respect, follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, and keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pets are safe and well cared for.

Brianna did an outstanding job watching my 5 pets and house sitting while I was on vacation for a week. She sent a morning and evening update every day with lots of pictures. All feeding and medications were given on time for the cats and dogs (plus putting some food and water out for the stray cats in my neighborhood)! I even came home to an extremely clean house with fresh bedsheets. I was very impressed by how above and beyond the care of the pets and the house was. 10/10 recommend!!

Kaitlyn took such great care of my two dogs while we were out of town. She was a pro at meeting the needs of my senior girl. She was even willing to stay at our house so our dogs could be comfortable in their own space. Kaitlyn sent lots of photos and updates, and it was so easy to communicate with her before, during, and after her stay. I would definitely recommend her for any of your pet care needs, and we will definitely be booking with her again!

Chelsea was a fantastic in-home sitter for our two fur babies! During the meet-and-greet, she asked plenty of thoughtful questions to get to know our dogs and understand their individual needs. One of our dogs has anxiety and is very skittish around new people, but she warmed up to Chelsea right away. Our other dog has epilepsy, and Chelsea did a wonderful job making sure he received his medication twice a day, right on schedule. Throughout our trip, Chelsea sent lots of pictures and updates, which gave us great peace of mind knowing our pups were happy, safe, and well cared for. She even took care of our fish! Chelsea went above and beyond, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We look forward to booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.

Natalie was honestly one of the best sitters I’ve ever had on Rover, hands down. She came to meet my fur babes twice before the stay, which immediately put me at ease. She’s just really thoughtful and has such a calm, natural way with animals, you can tell right away she knows what she’s doing and genuinely cares. While I was away, she kept me updated and everything felt easy and stress free the whole time. At one point I even had a perishable package delivered and she took care of it without me even asking, which just says a lot about how attentive she is. But honestly, the biggest thing is how much my pets liked her. That’s always the real test, and they were totally comfortable with her. I’d absolutely have her stay with them again in a heartbeat.

Paige was an outstanding sitter for Princess, and a very separation anxiety, Panache. She made sure that his food was upstairs under my bed, so that he could access it. It does take her awhile to answer texts from me, but her care of my pets and home was excellent.

About: Ever since I can remember I’ve been around animals! When I was born, there were cats and a dog in the house. I was responsible for my own dog, a brindle boxer, from the age of twelve, and took great care of her, cleaning up after her, and taking her for runs and walks all the time. Before her, my family had a golden retriever that we loved with all our hearts. I even had four turtles from the age of 7 through 19. I’ve got plenty of experience taking care of animals! I currently have a variable schedule where I work two to three days a week, some days 3-4 hours, sometimes the whole day from 8-3pm. It just depends. However, even on the full days I have time during lunch for quick puppy bathroom breaks, and plenty of time after work for walks or runs. I can crate your pup if needed, and I live in an apartment complex with a little dog park if they need some socializing! In regards to walks, I usually do these in the evening once it starts to cool down a bit so the fur babies don’t overheat. I can take them on short runs too so they can get all the exercise they’d need!

About: I have taken care of different dogs through the day and overnight. I enjoy meeting new dogs and learning their personalities. I also have two dogs of my own that I love to take on walks, play outside, and go on little trips with!! I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, daytime care, and overnight stays. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I have two friendly dogs and I make sure all pets in my care have plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and a safe environment. I am happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and crate training if needed. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Shippingport

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Shippingport on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,246 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shippingport. 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 Shippingport 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 Shippingport 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 Shippingport 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 Shippingport. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
