About: I have been around dogs ever since I was little. Growing up I was in charge of feeding and bathing them weekly. This past year, my 10 year old dog, Bonsai got cancer. She unfortunately passed away, but the experience taught me how to care of a senior dog with difficult medical needs. I also have a cat named Thistle. I’ve taken care of her since she’s been 6 months old. She is very active and requires a lot of daily stimulation through play and walks. I’m a very responsible pet mom, and I would love to help out taking care of other fur babies. I am also very patient with pets that might be more timid and nervous to meet new people. I currently have a very flexible and open schedule. I can do more visits or walks in the afternoons and weekends. Please reach out and I can give you more information on my availability. I am very patient with animals and I understand that sometimes it takes a while to warm up to new people. My priority is learning about your pet and which ways I can offer better care for them.
“Wallis was the best sitter for our two cats while we were on vacation! She took the time to meet our girls before caring for them and even got our shy cat to come out of our shell around her. We can tell that she cared about our cats like they were her own and will definitely have her watch our cats again in the future if able!”
“We just got back from a week-long road trip and honestly, the best part was not worrying about our dogs the entire time. Cailynn took care of Jasper and Gordon like they were her own. Two small dogs with two very different personalities is not always an easy ask, and she handled it effortlessly. We got regular photo updates that made the whole family smile, especially our girls, who checked for new pictures every morning. Everything was clean and in order when we got home, and both dogs were relaxed and clearly well cared for — no anxious behavior, no adjustment period, just happy pups. Communication was easy from the start, scheduling was flexible, and she followed our feeding and walk routine exactly as we left it. We'll absolutely be booking again for our next trip and recommend her to anyone in the area without hesitation.”
“Natalie did a great job watching my nervous cat Luna! She gave me daily updates on how Luna was warming up to her and included some cute pics. Definitely recommend!”
“Ryan was an excellent find! Pleasant, dependable, and responsive, he did a fantastic job of taking care of my three cats while we were away for almost two weeks. Not only did he take care of my boys, he also brought in all the packages that we received while we were gone. He will be my first call when I need a pet care from here on out. Thanks Ryan!!”
“Mandie was great with my cats while I was away for the week. She came every morning around the same time and I can tell they were well cared for. Mandie even stepped in last minute when my usual sitter was unavailable. Will definitely book with her again if needed!”
“Elise is my go-to! She always puts my cats’ well-being first and is an excellent communicator. It gives me peace of mind to know she’s there for my cats if they need anything while I’m gone.”
“Jacqueline was so fantastic watching our dog over a holiday weekend! She was so detailed summarizing each visit that it helped us relax and enjoy our time away without having to worry about our pup!! 10/10 recommend her for anything you may need for your pets, she’s amazing!!”
“Abby was fantastic with my special needs kitties! She offered to do a meet and greet before hand which was incredibly helpful and comforting. My girls are on several medications and Abby was able to administer them while I was gone. She made sure they had everything they needed and sent me detailed notes and photos every day. I will definitely be booking with Abby again!”
“I have booked with Cori multiple times and she is lovely. She is very caring and communicative. I have a more difficult cat and he loves her. Will definitely be a returning as long as she will have me 🥰”
“LINDSEY was amazing with our pups. She communicated with us consistently, kept us updated, and sent us plenty of photos of our sweet puppies. We will definitely have her take care of them again in the future for sure!”
About: I grew up around all kinds of animals and love them. I currently have cats, dogs and fish if 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.
“Lauren was open to a thorough meet and greet prior to watching our two kitties, and she took the biggest weight off our shoulders while we were away. She sent plenty of updates, gave them their favorite treats, and lots of loving and play time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for loving them like your own! They’ll be excited to see you next time!”
“Myah did a wonderful job with our Stella! When I walked in, Stella was like "oh you're here," which is the perfect and desired response when any of us return. Stella should know she is safe at home and whoever walks through that door will take care of her. And Myah did very well, meeting our girl's needs in our neighborhood. Will definitely rebook!”
“Sarah is a wonderful sister! She helped us out with last minute dropins and was very patient with our more nervous pup. She communicates very well and sent regular updates and pictures. I would definitely book with Sarah again.”
“Our 4 cats were well taken care of while we were away and Laura was dropping in to feed and take care of them. She was timely, friendly and very caring towards all of them, would use her again!”

We had such a great experience with Destiny watching our cats! She was incredibly communicative, reliable, and sent us regular updates while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our cats and made sure they were well taken care of. We came home to happy, well-loved kitties! We would absolutely recommend Destiny and will definitely use her again in the future! ❤️
Jackie walks our rambunctious 3-month-old puppy twice a day, once per week. She is punctual, reliable, and quickly replies to messages. The photos she sends after each session are wonderful and I know our puppy loves seeing and playing with her. I would recommend her dog walking service!
Ryan was an excellent find! Pleasant, dependable, and responsive, he did a fantastic job of taking care of my three cats while we were away for almost two weeks. Not only did he take care of my boys, he also brought in all the packages that we received while we were gone. He will be my first call when I need a pet care from here on out. Thanks Ryan!!
I asked for a visit as I went out of town and needed someone for the last day as I had no idea what time I was coming home. I gave instructions and told him that he can leave after doing what was asked since I knew my cat was going to come out. I appreciate the stop by and making sure my cat had food as I was super worried that she was going to go hungry. Thank you for visiting and taking my request last minute.
Erika was kind enough to accept a drop in visit with our two pups while we were visiting PA from out of town and had a sitter cancel on us last minute! Erika even found the time to stop over for a short meet and greet prior to coming back later to feed and take care of our dogs! Erika was incredibly kind and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend her to anyone! :)
Abigail did such an amazing job with my Raat (my cat). She followed all my instructions perfectly and sent me lots of photos of him. Raat usually gets sad and lonely when I leave him but after spending time with Abigail he looked so happy and excited. I already booked Abigail again the next time I’m out of town. Would 100% recommend as your petsitter!
First time having Wallis watch our boys and would definitely recommend. We didn’t have the chance to do a meet & greet beforehand, but Wallis was very easy to communicate with. She also reached out a few days prior just to make sure our plans were still on which made me feel more comfortable! Would love to have you back in the future - & hopefully to meet our dog as well!! Thank you so much.
Kristin was a joy to work with ! Our 12 year old ‘scardy cat’ (Mia) warmed up to her during the check-ins while we were away. Mia is so attached to her humans, we hated to leave her alone, but Kristin gave us confidence during our meet & greet that Mia would feel cared for. This was our first experience with Kristin, and we found her to be the total Rover package – very communicative, kind, reliable, conscientious, mature, experienced, and accommodating. She clearly has a passion for animals and did not hesitate to do extra things (i.e., making four consecutive visits over three days, picking up our mail, checking on the house, and more). We received immediate text updates and photos to put us at ease, and we are so thankful we found Kristin on Rover ! We highly recommend her and look forward to our next trip away knowing we can count on Kristin to make our Mia comfortable.
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!!
We were very happy having Mamie (Mary) care for our two cats! She is a great communicator, particularly when it comes to letting you know how it's going with your pets. We have a cat who is recovering from an injury and we could tell from meeting Mamie - and later from her updates - that he was in good, attentive hands! She also had to play hide-and-seek a bit to keep up with our more timid cat, but she caught onto his patterns. We're glad we were able to book her and would highly recommend!
Kristian did a phenomenal job with our little Sheba! She’s just a kitten. We’ve only had her about two months and we had our family vacation planned well before we welcomed her into our family so we were a little bit nervous about leaving her, but then I found Rover online and lead me to Kristian and I’m so glad! She took such good care of Sheba while we were away sending updates and pictures. Such a peace of mind… She even took care of our mail which we did not ask her to do but was very helpful since we didn’t have it in hold. I’m very grateful our next trip we’re gonna ask for Kristian again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Dormont on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,661 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dormont. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Dormont stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dormont. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
