“Jenna was amazing!! She cared for our cat Everest like her own. She gave great and detailed updates so I knew my cat was being well taken care of. Will absolutely use for future drop ins and pet sittings!”
“Gabrielle is an amazing cat sitter! She's so kind and obviously loves animals. She did a wonderful job taking care of our 3 kitties. We will absolutely ask her again and highly recommend her services.”
“Mary noticed an alert from a smoke detector while we were away and made sure to alert me and report that it was taken care of at her next visit. She went out of the way to make sure it was a safe environment for my cat while i was out of the country. The piece of mind that gives is priceless.”
About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs! I have experience feeding, playing, bathing, walking, and even training young dogs with simple things. I was able to gain experience taking care of dogs because I have a dog of my own who is now a senior. I’m also a dog walker at my local animal shelter which allows me to interact with dogs of all ages and different behaviors. Aside from dogs, I also have experience feeding and playing with cats. I have two cats who are friendly, love cuddles, neck scratches, and are amazing with my dog! I’m a college student who commutes to school. I have more flexibility during breaks but throughout the school year weekends are what would work best. I have experience with both cats and dogs. This has allowed me to work with animals that have different behaviors. I believe that animals require patience and love just like any other being. If needed, your pet will be in good hands in my home since my cats and dog get along very well.
About: I’ve never lived without a dog, so I have life experience playing, feeding, walking, and bathing pups. I helped raise and train my parents’ Golden Retriever puppy during COVID. I’m the go-to sitter for friends’ dogs and have experience with giving oral medication safely. I work full time, but remotely on Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays and can easily take a break to take care of your baby. Weekends are fully open, unless out of town. I treat each clients home with professionalism and ensure that I take care not only the pets, but leave no trace of me behind. Your house is your safe space and I will never spoil that for you.
About: Hello! My name is Maya and I am an animal lover! I volunteered at a local animal shelter and was promoted to a volunteer coordinator there due to my dedication to caring for the animals searching for their fur-ever homes. During my time at the shelter I have administered medication, walked dogs twice my size, and have cleaned up far too many bad smelling liquids for one person alone. I am comfortable doing whatever may be necessary to ensure your pet is well taken care of and happy. You can be worry free if your pet is with me! I’m currently in graduate school online, so my schedule is flexible. I have the time to give your pet all the time and attention they need! I strive to make your pet as comfortable and happy as possible! I understand boundaries and that some pets need time to open up and am more than willing to give them that time.
“Gabrielle took great care of our cats and was in constant communication with us about how they were doing, including cleaning up a plant that one had knocked over. She also sent lots of pictures which was appreciated.”
“Went away on a long trip and was able to fully trust Rachel with taking care of our cat who has special needs. It was so nice not having to worry about whether she was getting her medicines on time and Rachel always let us know how she was doing and reassured us that all was well. I strongly suggest using her as a sitter!”
About: I truly have unlimited patience for all pets and especially dogs. I love interacting with them and truly making them feel special and appreciated. Getting some daily exercise is crucial not only for their physical health but also equally as important, their mental health! I currently have my own small business that has allowed me a lot of downtime during the late morning and into the early afternoon on weekdays. I would love to fill this free time by taking care of your beloved pets! Dogs will be fully leashed before leaving the home for their walk. Doors will be double checked before leaving/entering to check for pets nearby. Your property will be treated as if it were my own during my visit.
About: Hi! My name is Yanny and I am a reliable and attentive pet caregiver with strong observation and communication skills (a psychology degree helps with that!). Experienced following detailed instructions, maintaining schedules, and recognizing behavioral cues in our furry friends. I love walking animals and helping them maintain their health when owners are gone. My biggest priority is to make the animals feel safe and loved while owners are away! Im currently working a full time job at a school near the Pittsburgh area, so I afternoons, nights, and weekends to connect with animals and owners. I can easily drive to a clients house, and I’m very reliable and flexible when it comes to scheduling! If needed, I can always drive the pets to parks and open spaces to have a fun time as well. (My work will depend on the wants and needs of the clients!)
About: I take pride in making sure animals not only have their basic needs met but also can get the socialization and fun time they need (whether we are actively playing or sitting quietly together). My experience includes: - Dog care (bathroom breaks, feeding, puppy care, playing together, sitting together) - Feline care (refilling wet or dry food, refilling water, brushing coats, playing, sitting and spending time together) - Poultry care (including measuring and distributing feed, refilling water, cleaning coops, giving baths, general checks for infected feet or other ailments) - Equine care (including measuring and distributing feed, refilling water, refilling troughs, bathing, brushing, and hair braiding) - Medication administration (pills and liquid syringe orally) - Taking lots of update pictures of your friend to send to you! I am a contract filmmaker that does gig work, so if my profile is up and active I am available for your pet sitting needs! I am available for hire most days of the week, including weekends, so that you can travel and do what you need knowing your friend is comfortable at home and in good hands. Safety is the number one priority for myself and your friend and will be taken as upmost importance at all times. I understand that each animal has their own unique personality and lifestyle-- I make sure to carefully observe their behaviors and tendencies when providing care you need for them in order to keep them happy and comfortable. Please feel free to ask me questions at any time.
“Kaitlyn was an amazing pet sitter for our 120 pound great pyr/ GSD mix! While our dog can be a bit tough meeting new people, Kaitlyn dove right in and provided regular check ins, potty breaks, and playtime for our boy. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, having been born into a family with two dogs and two cats. For the past 15 years, I’ve been pet sitting on and off, even as a kid, when my friends were babysitting children, I always chose to pet sit! I truly believe every animal has their own unique personality, and I have never met a pet I didn't like. I even adopted my own animals while living abroad in Ghana, and while they can be a bit "evil" sometimes, I love them entirely! I know how to appreciate and care for pets with all kinds of quirks, boundaries, and temperaments. I have hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs at all stages of life, from energetic kittens and puppies to seniors needing gentle care. Drawing on my background in medical school, I am highly comfortable and capable when it comes to safely administering animal medications. Most importantly, I will strictly adhere to your pet's schedule, diet, and daily routine to ensure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. I have reliable transportation and a huge heart! Can’t wait to meet your fury family! Pet sitting is my main focus, giving me full-time flexibility and open availability to dedicate entirely to your pets. Because I have an open schedule, I can seamlessly adapt to your pet's exact daily rhythm, whether they need early morning walks, strict mid-day medication times, frequent potty breaks, or simply quality companionship throughout the day. Your routine is my routine. Integrity, trust, and clear communication are the foundation of how I care for your home and pets. My top priority is giving you complete peace of mind while ensuring your pet feels safe, comfortable, and deeply loved. I treat every home with utmost respect, leaving it spotless and exactly as found (or better, handling any senior pet accidents immediately and thoroughly). Experienced with walks, bathing, feeding, medication administration, potty breaks, and plenty of affection. I customize communication to your style, sending daily photo updates and detailed check-ins if you like to stay in the loop, or keeping it quiet and simply handling everything so you can fully disconnect.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - East Pittsburgh
Lucas was a wonderful pet sitter for my Ori- I would 100% book again. Communicative, punctual, and even accommodated for last minute travel plan changes and was able to extend the booking an extra day. Went above and beyond by cleaning his litter box as well. Thank you, Lucas! 😊
Ashley is very nice and I like her! She is very reliable! Thanks for taking good care of Nico!! I'm so glad you and Nico became friends!! I would love for you to watch Nico the next time I go away in April if interested! I would highly recommend Ashley to watch other pets! Thanks again Kim !!
Olivia came for drop-ins for my two cats twice a day while I was on vacation for about a week and she did a fantastic job! One of my cats needed insulin shots and she proactively came over a few times before the booked time to practice administering the injection to make sure she did it correctly and was comfortable with doing it, which I really appreciated. My other cat also needed a pill and she made sure he took it during every drop-in. She is very communicative and reached out with questions and updates as needed, but for the most part, I was hands-off and knew my cats were in good hands so I could enjoy my vacation. I will definitely be reaching out to Olivia for any future kitty care needs!
Savannah did an excellent job caring for my senior cat, Phoebe, who has some special medical needs including a daily oral pill. I’m always nervous leaving Phoebe alone overnight, but Savannah’s prompt and thorough communication helped put my mind at ease. She gave her lots of care and attention during her visits with Phoebe and took great care of my home as well. I will definitely rebook with Savannah if we need a sitter in the future!
Jessica is a friend you didn't know you had! She made everything smooth and easy. She cated for my cats as if they were her own. Not even the winter storm of the decade kept her away. And she even cleared a path to my house so when I got home after my trip, I wasnt snowed out. She took great pictures and amazing updates. always quick to respond, a very caring person. Hands down best sitter I've had. I couldn't thank her enough. Took away all the stress I would of had during my trip.
Kelly is awesome and very attentive to our critters. She communicated well when our one kitty had some issues with her pajamas (over grooming) and needed changing from soiling due to litter use and put her in her cone. She noticed our fish tank and the frogs had passed (from change of environment and water before we left, not her fault). She spent good social time with the kitties and was very nice to work with. I will hire her again! Thank you Kelly!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,261 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across East Pittsburgh. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
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.
