“To be honest I don't know where to even begin. I have some very medically complex dogs plus behaviors. She did amazing with them! I will rebook in the future!”
“Rachel was so fantastic! Great communicator and felt very comfortable with leaving my furbaby with her! Got daily updates and pictures. Will definitely be going back to her!”
“I cannot believe how well this worked out! I just met Hannah through Rover and she took amazing care of my senior dog. She was professional and very competent. My dog has mobility and other challenges and needs a lot of special care. Hannah handled all of that without any problems. She stayed in touch with me while we were away, which allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worrying. She also obviously gave my dog plenty of affection! I would definitely book Hannah again and I will be recommending her to my friends in the area.”
About: My name is Sam, a recently retired Marine. I am also an avid animal lover. I have a rescued German Shepherd names Presley and have had four other rescues in the past. What your best friend will get from me is excellent care, affection, compassion, playfulness, and love. They deserve the best and that is what you will get from me. I am looking to be a full time pet care provider. Spending time with animals is my favorite thing to do other than spending time with family and friends. Your dog will be my focus and effort. I will only walk one dog at a time or play with one dog at a time. Your pet will have my full attention during his or her session.
“Francesca was so sweet. She did an excellent job caring for Sarge, going above and beyond by taking him on extra long walks (which are his favorite!) and was great with communication/sending pictures and updates. She also left the house spotless!!”
“Tessa stayed at our home for a week to watch our cat and dog. She sent multiple daily updates, followed all our feeding and other instructions. We came back to a clean house and very happy pets. Extremely satisfied with service!”
“Kamryn is hands down the best sitter we’ve ever trusted with our senior dog. She goes above and beyond to care for him with so much attention, patience, and genuine love - it truly shows. Being away is never easy, but knowing he’s with Kamryn gives us complete peace of mind. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and can’t recommend her enough!”
“Kristie is always reliable, dependable and a great friend to our chocolate lab Maya who has some anxiety. Thanks again Kristie for helping Maya feel so comfortable especially on the fourth of July holiday with all the fireworks!”
About: I have a degree in Zoology so I have a love for and knowledge of how to care for pets of many different species. I personally have had my dog for 16 years and have also had fish and 2 hamsters. I also used to work at a dog daycare so I am used to and very comfortable with dogs of any size. I am also a professional pet flight nanny with Coris Pet Journeys. I’m available for check ins anytime during the weekends and most evenings during the work week. I am also usually available most holidays to watch your furry family members. I will care for your pets just as you would. I always make sure they have fresh water and are given plenty of potty breaks. If they have a certain routine they do every morning/night I will do my best to replicate that so your pet is as comfortable as possible while you are away.
“This was our first time entrusting Patrick with our house and pups. We were quite confident in our decision when, during the meet and greet, Patrick inquired about our care routines in detail, which we hadn’t been asked before. Throughout our trip, Patrick kept us informed about our pups’ well-being by sending us pictures of their adventures. We appreciated receiving these updates as they allowed us to stay connected while we were away. We highly recommend Patrick for future dog-sitting needs and believe he would be a great fit for your requirements as well.”
“Bethany was great with my two yorkie boys. I was hesitant to leave them with someone new, but she took great care of them and updated me with photos and messages throughout her sit. Will definitely be utilizing her services 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!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life but my first job years ago in high school was at a veterinary hospital/ boarding. Because I was still in high school I was mainly in the kennels taking care of all the wonderful fur babies while their parents were out of town. Also, after informing the doctors that I was aspiring to become a vet, they allowed me to put on some scrubs and help out occasionally. I quickly realized that I was going to find a different way to care for animals 😂 Since then I have raised my own dogs and cared for animals of friends and family and have worked a few jobs at doggie daycares. I am an early riser because of my job so if your fur baby is too, they will fit right in! I work construction so I will be out for a portion of the day, but my wife works from home so her and our two pups will always be there to keep your baby company and make them feel right at home! At my house, no where is off limits for a furry friend. We can do anything to accommodate your fur babies to make sure they’re comfortable with their stay and you can have peace of mind that they will be happy and safe while you are away!
“Autumn was amazing! She sat our older dog in our home, and while we have a fenced in yard she took her for daily walks and our dogs level of mobility improved as a result. She went above and beyond the necessary and we will use her again in a heartbeat”
“Shyann was wonderful and patient with my skeptical rescue dog. She was communicative and sent pictures daily, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy going out of town for a concert. I’m definitely rebooking her again.”
“We are so happy we found Ava! She was so sweet, kind and easy to communicate with. She stayed at our house and updated us throughout our vacation. Have no doubts our Maggie girl was in great care! Will definitely rebook. Thanks Ava!”
“Jackie is a fantastic sitter! Dexter warmed up to her quickly and she took such good care of him. She was extremely attentive to his needs and great at communicating and providing updates on how he was doing each day. I really appreciate how she went the extra mile to make sure Dexter felt comfortable, safe and happy! It was amazing to have peace of mind while being away that my dog was in great hands. Will definitely be hiring Jackie again!”
“Mamie was a great sitter and I will rebook with her next time we are in need of someone to watch our pets. She checked in at least twice each day with updates and photos, took our dog for daily walks, and gave our pets the care they needed while we were away. I would recommend booking with Mamie to care for your pets.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Upper Saint Clair
Jill is absolutely incredible. We knew from the moment she came over to meet Tucker that we were in the best hands. This was our first time leaving him at home for the weekend instead of sending him to a family member’s house, so we weren’t sure how it would go. But Jill made the entire experience so easy and gave us complete peace of mind. She took the best care of Tucker, sent us so many updates and pictures, and even washed the sheets and towels before she left. You wouldn’t even know she had been there if it weren’t for the sweet handwritten note and dog treats she left behind. Tucker is a total homebody, and as he gets older, he’s becoming even more attached to being at home. When we got back, he was so relaxed and at ease, and we know that’s because of Jill. It meant so much to us knowing he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. The next time we go out of town, we won’t have to worry because we know Tucker will be in the very best hands with Jill. I’d give her one million stars if I could! We’re so grateful we found her and can’t recommend her enough. ❤️
Katrina May took great care of our pups! She loved them, was flexible with our schedule and followed every direction with medication administration perfectly. She is proficient in caring for animals but adds lots and lots of love and attention in as well, the perfect mix! I will ask her to help again!
Leila was awesome with our dog JoJo! She watched her for 4 nights and did a great job. She even stopped by a few days before we left to meet us and JoJo, which we really appreciated. While we were gone, she sent us daily updates and pictures, so we always knew JoJo was doing well. She took great care of her and also did a great job taking care of the house. She even helped water our plants, which was above and beyond! We came home to a happy dog and everything in the house just as we left it. We would definitely have Leila watch JoJo again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!
Ava recently took special care of our 14 year old senior bulldog in our home and was absolutely wonderful. She was so quick to respond and was a good communicator. She handled our pup's quirks and challenges as a complete pro, including her lack of mobility, incontinence, and senior eye upkeep. Ava's kindness and patience is everything you hope for in a sitter for a super-senior dog. She also left our house completely tidy just as we'd left it. We are lucky to have found Ava and would be thrilled to hire her again if needed!
Amazing! We would definitely book with her again. She was awesome, kind, and responsible. The dogs loved her, and she took great care of them while staying in our home. We completely trust her to stay in our house and care for our dogs while we’re on vacation. We are so grateful for the excellent care she provided to both our home and our two dogs.
Hilary is a fantastic house sitter. She did a great job caring for our 15 year old doodle Duncan and our reclusive kitty Misty. After a 4 day trip, we came to find our house cleaner than when we left! She is dependable, knowledgeable and sent daily updates. We will definitely ask Hillary again to sit for us if we are ever in need. Highly recommended!
Kristie did an awesome job watching my two dogs while I was on vacation. This was the first time anyone but a family member watched my dogs. They take a while to warm up to people that they don't know but Kristie was very patient and won them over. She kept me up to date with text messages and photos. I will definitely use Kristie again in the future.
Lindsay did an amazing job watching my 10 year old Golden Retriever named Maizey. She stayed at my house so that Maizey would not need to be alone. We were gone for a week. She gave Maizey all of her medication twice a day and played with her. I’m not sure that Maizey even missed me! I think that the house was cleaner when I came back than when I left. I will definitely use Lindsay again and I highly recommend her to watch your precious animals.
Meredith did a fantastic job house sitting our 2 dogs while we were away for vacation. Her communication was excellent and the dogs loved her. We were nervous to leave with one dog having stomach issues and needs daily medication but she had no difficulty navigating these issues. Meredith is responsible and dependable and trustworthy.

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 Upper Saint Clair 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 Upper Saint Clair 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Upper Saint Clair 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
