“Michael did an amazing job taking care of our 15 year old dachshund while we were on vacation. He sent lots of photos and updates to put our minds at ease. Our dog was happy as could be upon our return. Would absolutely book with Michael again!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for a number of years. Including pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve also volunteered at local shelters. I am a huge animal lover and will treat yours like my own. I work remotely so I am flexible with my schedule. As long as I know ahead of time, I can make a number of times work. I have taken care of animals in a number of settings that I can adjust to. From those with a fenced yard to those who need to stay leashed as they’re a flight risk. I truly have loved and treated each one as if they are my own.
About: I provide dependable, compassionate care and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to following each pet’s routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. Whether caring for energetic puppies, adult pets, or senior animals who need extra attention, I focus on providing reliable, loving care and keeping owners updated for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I make time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need. I stay organized and dependable, so I can consistently follow each pet’s schedule and provide reliable care throughout the week, including weekends when needed. When caring for pets, I focus on providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s regular routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring their pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I also keep owners updated so they can feel confident that their pets are well cared for while they are away.
“Kaleigh always does great with Bailey. She keeps us up to date with photos and status reports. We don't worry when she's here. We are going to book her again for another trip this fall.”
“Natalie was AWESOME with Grey! She came to meet him a few times, before she stayed with him, to insure he was comfortable with her. She was very good with Grey. She played with him more than we do, I am sure. She sent us pictures and videos multiple times a day. She contacted me if something arose that I had not mentioned or explained about his idiosyncrasies. He loves her, and so do we. We were concerned that he would want to go with her, when she left / went home from the stay!! That is how much she did for him.”
About: I have had dogs for my whole life and so I know that it takes to care for them. I work at a dog boarding facility at the moment and so I also have experience in a professional setting. I am currently working part time, giving me plenty of time to spend with your pups! When I’m not at work I’m at the gym or at home! I have a large yard with plenty of room for your pups to play. I have a bernedoodle who is very sweet and loves to play with other dogs. I take Knawi to the dog park a lot and also on many walks, which I’m happy to bring your puppy as well.
“Rebecca is a sweet and caring person who loves animals and puts their care first and foremost! We knew from seeing her around town working over the years that she is friendly and very responsible. I have to say that we were not worried leaving our pets in her hands. While, we were away and needed to ask her to take care of a matter for us, she did so with total grace and patience. If, you want to feel totally secure when leaving your pets while your away, please, consider booking Rebecca. You'll thank yourself, later!!!”
About: I have been taking care of Dogs, Cats and some Horses for as long as I can remember. I am the person who seeks out the family pet to hang out with instead of the adults :) I raised cocker spaniels in California for a few years. (2 litters) Both my Cocker Spaniels lived to 17 years old! I now have an 11 year old Golden who is the love of my life, I have been giving him CBD for 4 years, and he still acts like a teenager. My mini Golden is a Rescue. She has really come a long way in the 2 years that I have had her. She is the queen of the house now. I love ever minute of it. I am currently not working and would love to just pet sit for a living instead of seeking anything else. I live in Hernando Beach and can either visit your home, or stay at your home. Or I can bring your fur baby to my home. I have two golden retrievers. I can even set up your pet in the lower level (where I would also stay) if your fur baby needs to be away from my two. I have a fenced yard, multiple dog doors, and we love walks! Also lots of beds and couches to snuggle up on! We live on the water and the pups can stick there paws in the water if they would like.
“Crystal was great, we would happily rebook her for any future stays with our dogs! They seemed to love their time with her, and she was very respectful of our home. Consistent communication and updates, handled the small issues that our boys created with ease, and left our home in better condition than we left it.”
“Casie was great! She managed our 4 dogs and cat with ease. She sent us a few pictures each day and even after a thunderstorm to let’s know our one dog was doing well afterwards since he is fearful of storms. We will definitely be using Casie again!”
“Jacen did a fantastic job!!! We booked for 6 separate nights for stay overs at our house and everything went smoothly. Jacen is flexible and even watered our plants and took down some trash while we were gone. The cats were well taken care of and the communication was excellent. Highly recommend Jacen!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for over a decade now. It’s a passion- I went to Vet school for 6months. I am able to give insulin, give any medications. I am very comfortable with reactive dogs and I use to have a reactive dog myself so i understand it. I enjoy doing what the animal does, they like to sit around and hang out? Sure so do I! If they like to go on frequent walks and play all day? Okay I’m down! I’m very open minded and understanding of everyone’s situation. I’ve animal sat - Reptiles, Dogs, Cats, Birds, Rodents. The size makes no difference to me either, I’ve watched Great Danes and I’ve watched Corgis :) I’m not great at writing but I promise I’m great at caring for you animal 🫶🏻 I’m currently unemployed- I leave October 4th for CDL training so I just need to fill time and I would love nothing more than taking care of animals! I like to walk often - sometimes around the block but most times in the woods and for a couple miles. I’m also a gamer so I do enjoy sitting down to play for a couple hours out of the day. So I’m at home most of the day. I would more than likely come to your home but I’ll explain my living :) My boy Frodo is an off leash dog, I trained him and still continue to train him. Either me or my fiance will take him for a walk, I usually take him on about a 2mi walk. He eats 2 times a day(kibble and homemade). Lots and lots of playtime unless he’s sleeping we are doing something. Just kind of puts in your mind what I do with my animal <3
“Rachel was such a blessing to have during the anxiety of traveling and leaving behind our pups. She worked with our schedule and her availability so make us feel comfortable and secure. During any road bumps she made sure to reach out to us and our emergency contacts to make sure everything was handled. We would definitely recommend and rebook Rachel !”
“Isabella (Bella) did a wonderful job watching our crew of 2 dogs and 2 cats. We got pictures every day that we were away and the house was well taken care of as well. We never had to wonder how things were going as updates were frequent! We would absolutely book with Bella again!”
“Tina was outstanding! She gave me daily updates on how my boy Chef was and was overall very thorough with making sure he was well taken care of. I will be reaching out to her again next time I need someone to watch Chef.”
“Bryan was a super dog sitter. Very friendly, good communicator and easy to work with as far as scheduling and meeting. He (and his wife) took wonderful care of my dogs. They played in their large backyard and enjoyed plenty of space in their nice house. Dogs came home happy. I highly recommend and would love to use them again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Vandergrift
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,291 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vandergrift. 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 Vandergrift 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 Vandergrift 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 Vandergrift 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.
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.
