“Rose always takes great care of our two cats, including one with some diabetic needs. Box cleaning, wet food, and medication administration always go well - we look forward to continuing to work with Rose!”
“This was my first time ever using Rover for my cats and somehow I hit the jackpot and got so lucky finding Clareese. She almost immediately put me at ease with our meet and greet with how trusting and sweet her personality is. She ensured me of her history with caring for animals and how she treats every home as if it was hers. She took the best care for my babies that I could ask of someone. She communicated with me throughout each visit and very thoughtfully went above! This helped me tremendously during my time away being as this is always such a stress of mine when I have other people help with care. Clareese is an absolute sweetheart and did a phenomenal job and I absolutely would recommend her to others and hopefully be able to book her sometime soon! She even left me a welcome home note, so thoughtful and kind! Best of the best <3”
“Erin has watched my cat twice now and each time, upon our return, my kitty appeared comforted and content. Erin was also very prompt with her communication and possessed a thorough understanding of the needs of my cat. Erin appeared to have adhered to the guidance we left for her to the letter. I would highly recommend Erin!”
About: I work a corporate 9-5, M-F, but I can be available early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I primarily work from home, so I may be able to make mid-day drop-ins work if absolutely necessary. I respect kitties boundaries and preferences and strive to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I know how sensitive they can be to strangers or change, so I would love to follow whatever your standard routine is.
About: I had numerous dogs growing up and currently have one of my own, Finley, a Goldendoodle; I adore looking after pets and others. Dogs of all energy levels are welcome as I have a large yard, great for playtime, and plenty of space to accommodate others. Plenty of experience with medicines and special needs animals, too. Routine is key with time management to make sure there’s adequate time for play and adventure. Every morning starts with a walk, and I typically take my own pet to the park twice a day. My home has an enclosed backyard with ample space to run around. When house/petsitting, I’ll always ensure pets are on a leash before exiting to run errands or go for a walk.
“David performed all that we asked of him, and more. Our cat is not a lap cat, often standoffish, especially around strangers. David has good a rapport as could be expected with our cat Jasmine. David also performed some other favors for us, even bringing in the mail and packages every few days, I should also mention that David faithfully sent us a photo or video of Jasmine on each of his visits. I only wish Jasmine were more personable to reciprocate the care he gave her. We will be happy to seek David's services again, and hope he is available when our ned arises!”
About: Along with cats, I've had a dog growing up, and a lot of family members also have dogs. I just love being around animals in general more than most people lol. I always enjoy being around animals, and keeping them company. I'd be that introvert at a party who is playing with your dog or cat instead of socializing. I am currently working full time, and am looking to enjoy one of my favorite hobbies with a new friend. I'm mostly available in the evenings. I will care for your fur babies in any manner you request. During my visits, I will clean after them, play with them, and give them company if you are away especially for an extended amount of time.
“The 1st time I had to leave my cats, Pookie and Ziggy, with a Pet-Sitter. Sandy was PROFESSIONAL, PUNCTUAL, and stayed and played with my Furbabies. Sandy sent me pictures each day, which put my mind at ease. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Sandy!!! I will use her again!!!😻😻😻”
“Erin’s house is paradise for cats! I was so impressed with all the amenities she has for pets despite not currently having any of her own in the home. My cat was comfortable with her and her boyfriend Paul right away, and she sent lots of photos. As a former coworker of Erin’s, I know she is responsible, communicative, and fun. I would absolutely use her for pet sitting again.”
“Justin was great! He was very quick to communicate about booking and visits! He was on-time and flexible for drop-in visits, and he provided great updates and photos of his time with Callie! They went for plenty of walks, and Justin spent extra time throwing the ball for her, and just relaxing at home for extra company while I was away! I will book again with Justin for my next trip! He did a fantastic job with Callie!”
“Lana was PHENOMENAL with our cats and took great care of them. She went above and beyond to make sure that they were comfortable and happy while we were away, and made sure to send us lots of updates. Our boys LOVED her too! She was also a wonderful and respectful guest in our home as well!”

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 September 2026, there are 1,275 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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 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.
