“Jacqueline was amazing! She was very responsive from the first moment we reached out to her about booking, and we even had a meet and greet so our pup could get familiar with her in advance. Our pup has a lot of energy, and she always got creative with ways to give him mental stimulation and exercise — even if it was storming and he couldn’t go outside. She even offered to stay a little longer during visits to keep him company and make sure he was okay when he started having some tummy issues. I appreciate all the updates and photos she sent after each visit, and he always looked happy in every photo. I would highly recommend Jacqueline and would definitely book her again!”
“Thank you, Deanna, for taking care of our three dogs over the last couple days. Everybody was in good spirits when we got home. The dog seemed to enjoy spending time with you. We look forward to using you again when we travel.”
About: I grew up around all kinds of animals and love them. I currently have cats, dogs and fish of my own. I am willing to consider overnight stays in your home while you are gone. I would love the chance to stop in and check on your furry family members while you are gone to spend time with them. I have experience pet sitting dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, bearded dragons and chickens. I work full time during the day but am available in the evenings. If I am close by I may be able to accommodate a drop in visit during my lunch break from work. For my own dog I have a fenced in yard. I also have I door cats in my home. I am willing to consider overnight stays in your home to be able to care for your pets in the comfort of their home to help reduce stress on your pets Familiar surroundings are often calming and important to you and your pet.
“Sarah is a wonderful sitter. She is very patient with my nervous dog, a great communicator, and goes above and beyond in taking care of the crew and leaving the house tidy.”
“Christy is always so wonderful with Ginger. I am always nervous leaving him alone, but knowing she will be visiting is very comforting. I know he will be taken care of.”
About: Hello there, I am a certified Veterinary technician, I have been in wildlife and small animal care for the past 14 years while dog sitting on the side. I am new to the Pittsburgh area and looking to find new clients! My previous experience includes zookeeping and wildlife rehabilitation in the Boston area for 7 years and then working for a professional dog sitting/hiking company in Medford MA for another 5 years. I moved to Pittsburgh to get my CVT (Certified Veterinary Technician license) in 2024, and now work at a lovely little small animal clinic. I am well versed in animals with complex medication/therapy needs, such as insulin administration and exacting medication timing requirements. I am also very experienced with exotics, particularly birds. I work full time Monday-Friday so I am primarily seeking weekend and holiday pet-sitting arrangements. I am also happy to work in drop in cat care around this type of schedule as well. I cannot currently offer in my own home pet care due to landlord request, but I have been dog/cat/house sitting in clients homes for 14 years and am experienced with maintaining specific pet routines and training schedules. I have a leave no trace policy when it comes to other peoples homes. I am also very happy to water plants and manage aquarium care as needed. I also do not drink or party, I just need a sofa and a good book.
“Tiffany was amazing! I was going away on an international trip, and had plans change where I was going longer than originally expected. I needed to find someone to drop in on Rocco on short notice, and Tiffany was able to set up a meet & greet very quickly! She was also very sweet & kind, and took great photos of Rocco while I was away :) I would definitely book again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since high school and have 8+ years of experience. I grew up on a farm, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve also helped care for my sister’s dogs, including disabled dogs that required extra attention and patience. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs, and understand how to adjust care based on their needs. I work virtually, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and give pets consistent attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I’m a huge animal lover and vegan, so I take caring for animals very seriously and treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine since I work virtually and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to be home throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular walks, and stick closely to their normal routine. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any special needs to make sure they feel secure and stress-free. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and even disabled dogs that require extra care and patience. I keep a clean, calm environment and provide close supervision at all times. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Maddi was a responsive, flexible and attentive caretaker for my two young house cats. I really appreciated her prompt communications and the photos she sent gave me peace of mind while I was gone on my week-long trip. Would use again, thanks Maddi!”
“Elizabeth is truly amazing!!! She has looked after our babies twice now and she does not disappoint. I always know my cats are in good hands with her. Great communication and always quick with responses. Thanks Elizabeth for everything ❤️”
“Great care for my sick kitty cat! MK make a point to come over before I left so we could connect and she could meet Mari. MK made sure Mari took her medicine, which was very much appreciated.”
“Danielle was wonderful with Ellie our golden retriever and with communicating with us while we were away! I would definitely recommend her in the future! Great service :)”
About: Hi! I’m Clementine (it won’t let me change my name haha) I’ve had dogs ever since I was baby. I grew up around them, and I’ve always felt a sort of connection with them. I have 3 dogs of my own currently, two of which are rescues, and one of which is epileptic and asthmatic, so I have experience in the field of dogs who need special care. I just graduated high school and I don’t plan on going to a university, so I will be free most of the time during the summer! Because I have dogs of my own that don’t mesh well with others, I’ll only be able to do visits and stays at your home to ensure the safety of your pets!
“Caralyn was absolutely amazing!! She took excellent care of our two cats while we were away. She’s a great communicator, and sent us daily updates on how the girls were doing. We really appreciated her gentle, compassionate approach with them, and know they were well taken care of! We would definitely book Caralyn again :)”
About: I am happy watching and caring for animals of all types. I have had experiences abroad in third world countries providing both care and attention to dogs and cats. I have also volunteered at an animal rescue tending to dogs and cats for over 9 years. I will provide a caring, affectionate , and loving home for the time being for your furry friend :) I am active and would love to take dogs on long walks to the park or on the trails; I would be more than happy to take your dog on a walk several times a day. I also have & love feline friends too! If need be I can administer medications. All animals and pets are welcome, and will be provided with a comfotable and loving atmosphere. I am able to care for animals in the mornings/ early afternoons, or in the evening. On weekends my work schedule varies, but I am pretty flexible. I am never gone for more than four hours at a time. I bring a calm and steady presence, respecting your pets boundaries and allowing them to feel safe. I will ensure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve while also recognizing they may need time to feel comfortable. Whether your pet enjoys pets and playing right away, or prefers to watch me from afar, I will bring both compassion and a warm presence into your home/their space.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Crafton
We had a great experience with Katelyn! She was able to help us out on short notice and immediately put us at ease by coming over for a meet-and-greet beforehand. She was punctual, spent quality time with Ollie and Archie, made sure they were fed, pottied, and received their medication, and kept us updated throughout the visit. We would absolutely recommend her and look forward to booking with her again!
Wallis was amazing! She took such great care for my dog Kaia while I wasn’t in town. Sent some amazing pictures of her to keep me updated, was always quick to respond to my messages, and just an overall very sweet person. I can tell that my dog had such a fun time meeting, and spending time with Wallis for this past week. I will 100% be booking her again whenever I’m out of town, or just need some help! Thank you!
Kathleen is always an incredible sitter as always. Punctual, communicative and caring!! She went above and beyond and happened to notice one of our faucets was running and turned it off for us as well when we were out on vacation. Kathleen is always my first ask to watch our pup because of how responsive and helpful she is!!
Grace watched our two dogs while we were out of town for a few days. She got to know our doggos ahead of time and was very friendly and kind when we met her. She was punctual and professional. Grace communicated with us when necessary when taking care of our dogs. She let us know that they were eating their food and doing well on their walks, and she always provided lovely photos so we could see them while we were away. When we got back from our trip we could see our home and doggos had been well cared for. I fully recommend Grace to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.
This is the second time I have used Matthew for 3visits per day for my dog. Teddy was well taken care of. I received regular updates and photos. The sessions started off with Teddy setting off the security system. as Matthew arrived ! He handled it well. We have Matthew booked for several more times over the next few months. I highly recommend him
We had a very last minute need for a check in visit for our dogs and Sydnie was an absolute angel! She fed and walked our pups and spent some sweet time snuggling with them as well! We hope the next time isn’t quite so urgent, and can’t wait for Sydnie to visit again!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Crafton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Crafton 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Crafton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
