“Mary is a start pet sitter in my heart. We made some mistakes by leaving the door locked, but Mary was super patient and got the problem solved. Thanks to Mary we had a wonderful holiday without worrying about the cats at home.”

About: I have ran an animal rescue for years and have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. I can bathe, provide meds, socialize, and give playtime and walks. I will have 3 free days a week and some evenings available to provide services. I can assist with dog walking and socialization for both dogs and cats. I provide feeding and water schedules exactly as the owner prefers for their pet, and provide multiple walks, playtime, and socialization, as well as a variety of toys.

“Michaels the best! He’s helped us multiple times with overnight stays & quick drop ins. Our very selective dog & our shy cat both love him. He went above & beyond when we were away during a big snow storm & couldn’t get home to our pets. He cleared a pathway for our dog to go outside, cleared snow away from vents attached to our home & still managed to keep our pets active & exercised in the frigid temps. Everyone needs a Michael for their pets!”

About: Hi Pittsburgh! Just getting my rover account active again now that my partner works from home! We are a pet sitting duo/making sure there is someone with your furry friend all day! Booking with us means excellent service & cleanly people. & someone you can trust with your babies!! we are able to spend all day & night with them so they don’t need to be left alone for longer than an hour or two at a time. I know how hard it is to leave ur pets so i understand the care they need when their favorite humans are gone. My lack of reviews is because I havent had alot of sits on rover I usually book from word of mouth. Lets set up a meet and greet so you can get to know us & we can get to know ur furry friends 🫶🏼 I have a very open schedule and want to spend my days with your pets! I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals Depends on the client’s situation! I can care for pets in my home! if your pet doesnt get along with other dogs thats no problem my dogs stay with my dad while im pet boarding.

About: I’ve had cats now for about 5 years! 4 of my own (ages 4, 4, 4, and 8), and they are absolutely the loves of my life!!

I currently work full-time as a registered nurse, doing rotating (days and nights) 12 hour shifts, 3 days a week, so I typically have quite a bit of availability and a pretty flexible schedule!! I am currently available for drop-in visits to ensure your pet has all the care they need! I will also provide pictures and updates :) My cats get fed twice a day and have plenty of toys and scratch posts! I also have an abundance of treats for them to snack on!!

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog. I’ve grown up around family pets and understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m available 24/7. I have 4 dogs at home and am willing to pet sit at any point of any day! I’m just getting started on rover and would love to get my name out there! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both personal and professional settings. I previously worked for a local groomer as a dog bather, where I became comfortable handling dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition, I regularly care for my family’s dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, spending time with them, and pet sitting when family members are away. I also help care for pets for extended family members, including my aunts and uncles, who trust me with their dogs while they travel or need extra help. I truly enjoy being around animals and am looking forward to expanding my services to help more pet owners feel confident their dogs are safe, cared for, and treated like family.

About: I have taken care of animals ever since I was a kid. Neighbors and family friends have always entrusted me to care for their fur babies. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, rabbits and ferrets. I currently work as a veterinary technician and have both emergency and general practice experience, so I am more than comfortable caring for animals. I am currently a full time Veterinary Technician. I work a normal 9-5pm schedule taking care of animals. I am available on weekends after 1:30pm if I am scheduled to work and I am more than happy to care for your pet after my normal working hours. Caring for pets in a clients home is preferred as I live in a little apartment, so space is limited. I will clean up after your pet, and follow instructions that are left for me by the owner. I am experienced with administering oral and injectable, so I feel comfortable administering insulin to pets if needed. Due to my emergency experience I am comfortable caring for sick or elderly pets!

About: Hi! My name is Plachette, and I've lived with various pets since I was a child. My father was a dog breeder (pitbulls <3), so being surrounded by puppies and dogs is something I've become accustomed to! I have experience with dog walking and sitting multiple breeds at once and administering medication as instructed. While dog sitting at your home, I'll also tend to any messes that are made, bring your newspapers/packages/mail, and give you thorough daily updates of what's going on around the home. Upon request I'm able to provide proof of having 5 star ratings for 150+ services I've already completed for other pet parents. For dog walks, I'm capable of handling small to gigantic dogs. I can work with dogs that pull. I prefer to use a waist leash (I have my own) while walking dogs since it allows me to be hands free and have more control with your pet. Of course, if you prefer your pet's own leash, that's fine too. :) I am self-employed so I am able to make my own schedule for work days and hours. If extended stays or additional pets need longer periods of care, I can adjust to these changes. When pet owners provide me with particular details on how to care for their pets (feeding schedules, administering medication, crating, etc.), I will be a able to provide proper care for any pet.

I own my own cleaning business and make my own schedule, which gives me a lot of flexibility\! This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your fur babies and work around their routines and needs\. 🐾 I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and locations whenever possible! I live in a safe & quiet neighborhood, in a apartment in Edgewood area. I love all animals and would treat yours like my own.

About: Professional dog trainer, not just a sitter – I understand canine behavior, body language, and how to manage dogs safely and confidently. Behavior-aware care – I proactively manage jumping, pulling, barking, and over-arousal instead of ignoring it. As a professional dog trainer, my schedule already revolves around dogs. Pet care is a priority in my day, allowing me to provide structured routines, supervised activity, and mental enrichment. Dogs in my care are integrated into my daily routine and receive consistent attention, not just drop-in care. I I provide structured, attentive care tailored to each dog’s needs, whether they are staying in my home or I am caring for them in their own. In my home, dogs follow a consistent routine that includes scheduled feedings, frequent potty breaks, walks, enrichment, play, and calm rest time. I keep a limited number of dogs to ensure safety and individual attention, and I carefully manage introductions and interactions. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to reduce stress, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any house rules. I focus on calm handling, safety, and clear communication, and I always leave the home clean and respected. As a professional dog trainer, I naturally reinforce good manners and basic obedience during care while prioritizing your dog’s comfort, safety, and well-being. I also provide regular photo and video updates so owners feel confident and connected

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for both cats and dogs—though my own cats would probably like me to emphasize cats first 🐾 I’ve spent time volunteering with the Humane Society of Somerset County, where I walked and cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and with Kitty Queen Cat Rescue here in Pittsburgh. These experiences gave me hands-on confidence with animals who need patience, attentiveness, and a calm presence. At home, I’ve had cats my entire adult life—they truly are my babies—and I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work from home, which means more flexibility, more availability, and more attention for your pets—whether that’s a midday walk, a check-in, or just extra time spent keeping them company. I offer: 🐶 Dog walking (reliable, attentive, and tailored to your dog’s pace and personality) 🐾 Drop-in visits for cats and dogs (feeding, litter/yard care, playtime, and meds if needed) 🐱 In-home cat sitting (a calm, cozy environment—perfect for cats who prefer a quieter stay) I’m also comfortable administering oral and topical medications. Availability-wise, I offer flexible evening and weekend scheduling to fit your needs. I’m especially great with: Cats (shy, opinionated, or “only likes their person” types included) Dogs who benefit from a patient, calm walker Pet parents who want thoughtful updates and peace of mind You can expect plenty of updates, photos, and honest communication while you’re away—I know how much that matters. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family (and probably talk to them like tiny roommates), I’d love to help 💛 I have a full time, work from home job as a Customer Experience manager M-F, so my availability is evenings and weekends as I'm able. I can also board kitties anytime that can hang out with me while I work! I am a nature lover who loves walks in the park and in the woods. When caring for pets in my home, I have a separate bedroom where I would be able to keep them separate from my two cats, if need be.

About: I was raised around animals, including horses and a beagle kennel. Then, I had a sweet chihuahua for 13 years that I raised and trained from a puppy. I really do love all animals, and timid cats usually take a liking to me. I’m currently working part time, so pet care fits in to my daily schedule very well. I’m flexible with availability and commute, and read care instructions carefully. I have a two story house with a unfenced backyard that I can watch small to medium sized pets. When going to client’s home, I follow care instructions very closely and provide lots of love and attention for the fur babies.

Yasmeen was wonderful with my senior rabbit! Truffle is very shy with new people but I loved seeing through the photos and notes that Truffle got more and more comfortable with and excited to see Yasmeen each day. She even crawled up into her lap for treats which is a HUGE sign of trust for Truffle! During our meet and greet, Yasmeen made sure that she understood Truffle’s medication and how she liked it to be given. I’ve never used Rover and was worried I wouldn’t find someone who knows rabbits. But after meeting Yasmeen I wasn’t worried at all that she would be a good sitter for Truffle while I was gone. I was able to enjoy my vacation without stressing about Truffle and that peace of mind is everything. I’ll definitely be booking with Yasmeen again!

Raquelle was great! I haven’t left my cats alone before and I was so nervous for the few days leading up to my trip. Once she sent me pictures of my cats playing with her and letting her pet them (my one cat doesn’t go near anyone) I was able to relax on my trip. It was such a relief!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Cassandra! Recently, a storm hit our area — not exactly ideal conditions for anyone. But without hesitation, she went above and beyond her role and helped clean up before carrying on with caring for Harvey. That kind of thoughtfulness and initiative is incredibly rare. She didn't have to do that — but she did it anyway, and it meant the world to me. It's clear she genuinely cares. So If you're looking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, and goes the extra mile (literally and figuratively), look no further. Thanks Cass :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
