“Lucas took great care of my two elderly cats. When we got back from our week away they were healthy and happy. Lucas even noticed that Cindy was scratching our couch and covered it with a blanket.”
“Clareese did an amazing job and both my kitties loved her which is not an easy task! She was super communicative and check ins were exactly when I had them scheduled. Will definitely use her services again in future!”

About: Growing up surrounded by animals, my love for my pets naturally evolved to leaning towards caring for other people's pets. I bring 6 years of reliable, hands-on pet care experience spanning multiple life stages — from energetic puppies navigating their first milestones to adult pets needing attentive companionship. Over the years, I have managed a wide variety of temperaments and behavioral quirks, ensuring that every dog and cat in my care feels secure, comfortable, and loved. What truly distinguishes my service is my proactive, communication-first approach combined with a calm, adaptable energy. I don't just check the boxes for feeding and walks; I focus entirely on mirroring your pet's normal routine to minimize any separation anxiety. I prioritize absolute transparency, providing you with detailed, high-quality updates and photos so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away. Whether it be drop-in visits at your home or boarding your pet at mine, I always treat your pet with the utmost respect and like family. As I have dogs of my own, it will fit like a glove as I will be caring for your dog alongside my own. I will treat your dog like my own. Dogs are very important to me regardless whether it’s my own dog or someone else’s. I will make sure that dog is safe and feels cared for in any environment.
“Disha was absolutely incredible! My wife and I were away for 10 days, and she took amazing care of our cat, Little John, who is truly our pride and joy. She stopped by every day, provided great updates, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Disha is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I have two cats of my own and started Rover because I truly miss having a dog around and love spending time with animals. I work full-time, but picked up Rovering to make some extra cash and also fullfill a dog-sized whole in my heart from living with them my whole life. I am available anytime after 4pm on weekdays and all hours on weekends. Because I have two cats at home, I currently only offer care in my clients’ homes. I always try to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs and want them to feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve been working with a variety of dogs of all different breeds for roughly 6 years via dog walking, dog sitting, etc! I love dogs of all kinds! I’m a doctoral student of occupational therapy, so most of my time is spent working via fieldwork and doing homework. I am free on Tuesdays & Thursdays for drop ins/walks, and on weekends for housesitting. I’m happy to help with any household needs specified during housesitting! Please leave me comprehensive instructions for caring for your pet(s), including meal details/times, walking schedule, etc.
About: Hello! My name is Rachael, and I'm a graduate student who loves animals. My black cat, Zelda, has lived and traveled with me through six different countries and now lives with me here in Pittsburgh. I was raised in a household full of dog people and always lived with at least two dogs at any given time, so I have a lot of experience caring for and playing with dogs of various sizes and personalities. I also am experienced with caring for various other kinds of pets, from hedgehogs to lizards to fish to frogs. I'm a PhD student with a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so I typically schedule walks and drop-ins for the morning or evening. I also have no classes on Fridays and a lot of flexibility on weekends! I like to fit walks and visits into my daily routine in a way that helps me to get some extra steps in. When petsitting in a client's home, I always review all the instructions carefully. It's helpful for me to know as much as possible about the pet, such as any health or behavioral concerns I should be aware of, likes and dislikes, etc. I always respect a pet's boundaries and prioritize their safety and wellbeing. I also make sure to check in with the client regularly and alert them immediately of any concerns that need to be brought to their attention.
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: I’ve had experience with my own pets and taking care of others. This includes walking/ house sitting and check ins while on vacation! I am able to drive to you or walk over. I work full-time 9-5 but am available for weekend or early morning and post-work walks/duties. I miss my own pet so would love to care for yours! I live in a pet friendly apartment complex with an open backyard. I live in Shadyside with great walking routes and fellow pet families galore.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, both breeder and rescue! I understand the patience, love, and discipline all dogs need, and am ready to give them my all when in my care! My schedule is flexible if there’s two weeks notice. I work on a daily/weekly schedule in the restaurant and film industry, so if I have aforementioned advanced notice I can plan to be home for as long as needed for a pup! While I have no yard of my own, I am near Mellon Park and a couple blocks away from family that will allow me to use their fenced-in backyard as needed! All of my friends and family are dog lovers, so if anyone visits my apartment, your dog will be double cuddled and spoiled and loved (Note: I will be the primary caregiver, I will not cede care of your pet to anyone else while working. I will always be present)! I have plenty of healthy treats as well, and if no specific bed is provided for a lodging stay, I’m willing to buy one myself. Dogs are allowed on couches/chairs with some blankets I already have, and I will put their bed next to me in my room during the night. I love taking walks around the neighborhood and enjoying food, and obviously would have some eager canine company to join me!
About: I have a house with a fenced yard. I like to walk my dogs and will take yours along if desired. My dogs play well with all nice dogs. The longest time between being let outside is 6 hours. If requested, I can take your dog with me almost everywhere I go. I can also come to your house to dog sit depending on location. We can stay in constant touch by phone and/or e-mail. Meet my pets I have 2 dogs and 1 cat. Open the door to let them out, fill up food and water bowls. Give them treats. Clean up pet hair. Give dogs apoquil when allergies/rash appear. I have a decent sized fenced yard, so they will be free to run around. I am vigilant about scooping poop as soon as possible.
“Accepted a last minute request due to a cancellation. Did great taking care of Mr.Rocket and let me know his arrival time and when he left. Couldn’t of asked for better care for Mr.Rocket”
“Mary is a start pet sitter in my heart. We made some mistakes by leaving the door locked, but Mary was super patient and got the problem solved. Thanks to Mary we had a wonderful holiday without worrying about the cats at home.”
“Very quick reply and great communication. He was so great with shadow, and sent me plenty of pictures and video updates. Will definitely use Andy again! Thanks so much!”
“Teneisha did a wonderful job looking after my two cats. She is very professional and made me feel at ease knowing they were in good hands. She played with them, fed them, sent daily updates with pictures. Will definitely book again next time I’m away from home.”
About: I have experience with all dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior, with experience giving daily medications in the form of pills, ointments/creams, and injections. I love hanging out with dogs and always follow feeding/walking schedules as requested. I am a PhD student so I work outside the house and won’t be home all day when house sitting so I prefer sitting for dogs that can be left alone for 6-8 hours at a time, but I have a flexible schedule and can sometimes work my schedule around to fit the care of dogs and cats etc with enough notice. I enjoy spending time with animals so I’m always willing to adjust my schedule. I have taken care of pets in their home for extended periods, most commonly over holidays. I’m always respectful of the home and animals, ensuring that I don’t overstep on their territory and I like to leave the home as clean as I found it.
About: I love dogs and grew up with them! Though I don't have the space for them now, I've been missing some puppy playtime! Both of my parents are vets as well, so I'm also pretty well versed in all things pet care! I do work full-time, but a lot of my job can be done from home depending on the amount of notice I have before discussing that with my boss. That being said my weekends are pretty open as well as the occasional monday. I typically work from home every other monday! I love all animals! Growing up I had 2 dogs and then foster failed 2 cats! Those 2 cats currently live with my parents, but I'm bringing them up here when I move into my own place. Both of my roommates also have cats!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Edgewood
Valerie took care of my gang last week and they are now so used to having her care for them and so confident that she will come and meet all of their needs that they barely even looked regretful as we left. They were happy when we got back and then when it was time for a walk went to the door to wait for Valerie. They had to make do with us instead. I feel confident when I leave that all will be taken care of in my absence.
Jiawen is very responsive, she always replies timely whenever we leave her messages. She is also amazingly creative by finding a way to resolve the ant issue so Gawman could have normal healthy diets when we were away from home. I feel worriless knowing that Gawman has been in good hands and been taken good care of. I will definitely book Jiawen's service when we travel again and I will be more than happy to recommend her to friends who are in need.
Polina did an amazing job taking care of my two cats! She is the first person I've hired through Rover and I could not be more happy with the attention and love she gave to my cats while I was away. I never had to worry that my cats were well and responsibility cared for while Polina was watching them. I would definitely work with her again for my pet care highly recommend her to others!
Adisyn was an absolutely ideal dog sitter!! I would recommend her to anyone; she was 11/10. I was extremely anxious about leaving my dog who is very fearful and skiddish, but Adisyn knew just how to take care of her and was very calm and patient and kind. I could tell she had a lot of experience and joy working with dogs. My doggo warmed up to Adisyn right away and even seemed to miss her after I got back! Adisyn kept me updated on how my doggo was doing and followed all instructions very thoroughly. My doggo and I had the best experience with her!
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! 😊
Pulpo recieved the most purrrrrfect care from Brooke and her family. He was obviously looking forward to seeing them and had a lot of fun each time they came. We got the sweetest photos and updates each visit and came home to a very content creature. 100% recommend!
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 !!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Edgewood is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $42 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 October 2026, there are 2,609 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Edgewood. 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
