“Michelle made my family feel at ease about leaving our dog at home during our trip. She took excellent care of Rue and of our home while we were gone for a couple of days. We got daily pictures of Rue and we knew she was being loved on the whole time. I highly recommend Michelle!”
About: I have been a huge animal lover since I was a child. I am skilled in basic obedience, positive reinforcement, recognizing discomfort, patience, and friendship I am a stay at home mom with 1 dog and 2 cats. I am with my pets all day long. My dog is my best friend in the whole world, my two cats are polar opposites of each other. The calm and the crazy lol. We make it work. My dog Bo is very anxious just like his mom lol so he requires extra cuddles throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard at my house. I treat my dog like he is my baby and I would absolutely do the same for yours. My dog is with me on the couch when I'm on the couch and he's in my bed in the morning lol You only get one life. I spoil him rotten ♥
“We had a wonderful experience with Alissa! She cared for our three dogs from Tuesday through Friday and did an excellent job. She followed all of the care instructions we provided, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home everything was exactly how we left it, clean and well cared for. Most importantly, our dogs were happy and clearly well looked after. We truly appreciate her reliability and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for caring for pets. I've spent my whole life around animals and currently share my home with four wonderful cats and one happy dog. Growing up with pets taught me how to understand their needs, respect their boundaries, and provide the love and attention they deserve. I'm kind, compassionate, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether it's a long walk, a play session, or just quiet companionship. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I’m currently working full-time Tuesday-Friday 8a-6p so, unfortunately, I don’t have availability throughout the weekdays. On the weekends/Monday’s, I’m available morning, afternoon, evening and night! I will always create a comfortable and loving environment for you pets when coming into your home. I’m unable to allow cats/dogs into my own home at the time!
About: I have cared for dogs ranging from bottle-fed puppies to elderly that need special care and medication. I have been trusted throughout my whole life to care for an array of animals such as dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, rats, etc. I work 2pm-10pm M-F but can fit caring for your fur baby in the morning and at night. I’m also a mom so I just may have a baby companion tag along with me sometimes! I meet the pet where they are at! If they are shy and nervous, I’m more than happy to sit there with them until I earn their trust. If they are social and ready to go throw that ball, my shoes are on and I’m ready to go!
About: I have taken care of dogs of many different breeds for years! I am experienced in giving medication, enrichment activities, and overall just loving on pups! I work Monday through Friday typically but am able to modify my schedule more at the end of the week! My husband is often home when I am not to allow for those extra potty breaks and play time I have 2 French bulldogs who love to play and will keep your babies company! They also can be in their crates if your doggo is a little more on the shy side! I also have multiple rooms and give give you fur baby their own space!
“Bree was great with the dogs and house sit! She even stopped by before the sit to get acquainted, which was really nice. We will definitely book her again in the future!”
“Sarah did a great job house sitting and watching Bunker for us! She communicated often and updated us with photos! The house was clean and in great condition when we got home as well. We will definitely use her again in the future and I highly recommend her services!!”
“Kaylie did a great job taking care of our pup! She regularly took him on walks and to the park. I loved how she texted with me about how the job was going and sent pictures of him also. We would definitely hire her again!!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since i was 14, dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats (including the ones with attitude) and rabbits. I started out dog sitting for the family pets and have now gotten recommendations for family friends, neighbors, and a couple people im not even related to. I love animals more than anything and would be happy to share that love with them. I have flexible hours and can make just about every time work and can also work around my work schedule. :) I work part time usually in the mornings so i have lots of time to take care of your animals. Im available for any type of care service except for in my personal home. I will however be willing to drive long distances. I can stop by frequently, do overnights, go for walks, play with them, and give lots and lots of love to your pets of all sizes.

“Farrah is amazing! She took such great care of Percy while we were away—super responsible, kind, and clearly loves animals. She kept us updated with cute pics and made sure everything ran smoothly.

FAQs for House Sitting - Steubenville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 183 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Steubenville. 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 Steubenville 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 Steubenville 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 Steubenville 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 Steubenville. On Rover:

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.
