I am very reliable and will be there whenever your pet needs me. I have had my own pets over the years and have also watched and cared for my friends and family members pets also. I am usually the go to person when it comes to pet sitting with all of my friends. There is not an animal that I wont love and tend to. I really hope to meet your pet and take care of them while you are out enjoying your time! If anymore more questions just ask!

“Amanda did an amazing job keeping us updated about our cats while we were on vacation. We didn’t have to worry about them at all and we knew they were in good hands.”
About: Hi! I'm a responsible home owner, cat owner and former dog foster mom with a flexible schedule! I grew up with tons of pets, from hamsters to hermit crabs and collies to calicos, so I'm comfortable around a variety of animals. In addition, being a homeowner and cat owner, I know what it takes to care for fur babies and their space while keeping things clean and safe for everyone. I have experience administering medicine to cats, walking large dogs with a Gentle Leader, caring for senior dogs, and keeping kittens/puppies away from harmful areas. I recently left my full-time job and am looking for fulfilling jobs away from the office environment. All this to say, I have open availability and a flexible schedule! I recently left my corporate job and therefore have a pretty flexible schedule. I'm happy to stop in to your home and/or stay there to ensure your pet gets the best hands-on care and attention. Because of having my own two cats, I prefer to care for your pets in your home. I can take them on walks if needed or let them run around the yard. Safety is a priority, so you can trust that I'll be conscious about food, objects, open doors, stairs, etc. to ensure there are no mishaps!
About: I’ve owned dogs for 30 years, including an English Bulldog and a French Bulldog. I have firsthand experience caring for medically complex, high-maintenance dogs and understand the patience, attention, and consistency they need. After recently losing my Frenchie, I miss being around dogs, but I am not ready to own another one yet. I’d give your dog dependable, attentive care while enjoying their company. I’m retired, so my schedule is flexible. I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, companionship, and care they need. Pet care will easily fit into my daily and weekly routine. I’m also available during weekdays, when many pet owners are at work. In my home, dogs are family and welcome throughout the house. We have a securely fenced yard and a gated porch for safe outdoor time. I can crate your dog if that is part of their normal routine, or they are welcome to sleep in a bed if preferred.
About: I've always been an animal person and dogs gravitate toward me. I've been taking care of animals (many dogs, a good number of cats, and occasional other types of animals) since I was 8 years old, aside from breaks for school and apartments that didn't allow pets. Coworkers, friends, family, and neighbors have all counted on me for pet care/sitting, whether in their own homes or mine. I'm good with training and do daily sessions with my pup. Have also owned/taken care of numerous elderly dogs and cats, including end of life care. I'm patient and very affectionate with animals (both my own and guests) but firm with the house rules - they know I'm the one in charge. I work from home so am able to do all-day care and take consistent breaks for walks, potty, and playtime. I adapt my personal and professional lives around care for my pets. I have a fenced yard, a pool with a safety cover to protect from accidental falls, and a 1 year old Australian Shepherd who is super friendly with dogs of all ages. My Aussie is crate trained but occasionally gets to cuddle in the bed. I have an extra crate and can easily handle crating, including training.
About: I have experience with several animal species, either mines or from family members. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, small animals like hamsters, farm animals, insects, etc. I do have a flexible schedule, so I have flexibility to take care of animals in different places and times as convenient for the schedule I have a fenced yard for the pet's convenience, just for potty time. I can also walk pets around. Just indicate what you want at every place

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dormont
Kristin is an exceptional caregiver for our older timid little cat (Mia). Aside from carefully following all of our requests for feeding, maintenance, etc, Kristin takes the time to comfort Mia by talking to her and petting her if she can, which makes us feel better while we are away. She went above and beyond by doing four visits in two days, checking for mail, checking on the house for any issues, and anything we asked of her. Kristin is mature, reliable, caring, trustworthy, and very communicative. We couldn't ask for a better 'baby sitter' for Mia. We will definitely use her services again and we highly recommend Kristin....she's the best !
Laura was an amazing sitter for our cat while we were away for a week. She sent regular updates with photos, was very responsive, and offered to care for our houseplants while we were away. She even took out the trash before we got back! So thankful to have her help and highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dormont is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,619 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dormont. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 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.
