“Shannon did an amazing job caring for our 2 cats. They communicated very well and even went above and beyond by taking out the trash and washing the dishes! Highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of friends and families pets for years now. Mostly walking and playing with them, but occasionally administering medication as well. Super detail oriented so happy to follow the needs of your pets! I am currently in grad school once or twice a week at night while working part time. It gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day to hang with your babies. My kitties are spoiled with lots of toys and trees and scratching posts. Any dog I see will be greeted and played with immediately when permitted by the owner. Truly just want any pet to know they are cared for and valued.
About: I grew up with pets and have taken care of small, medium, and large dogs of all ages. I don’t have one of my own right now so I love any chance I can get to give pups some love!! I would be available for early morning or late afternoon/evening walks most days. I have a slightly flexible, full-time job and am off on Mondays. I think the most important type of care for dogs comes with attentiveness to details, what they need, and what they want (pets and play!) I am a very detail oriented person and will make sure to keep track of instructions while also making sure your dog go has a great time.
About: I am a pet parent to my lovely Yoshi the cat and Tender the dog. I have grown up with pets. I don’t have professional skillset but I am quite good with animals. I promise to take great care of your pets I am currently working part time as a cater waiter/bartender. I have also just gone back to online school for my bachelors degree. This means I do have quite a bit of free time. I also have a car so I am able to get to your pet in convenient time. I love taking care of my pets. I make sure to brush them frequently so they are nice and fluffy. I also make sure to check their business just to keep an eye out. I am very good at following directions and can definitely help take care of your fur babies.
“Adele was wonderful! She took great care of our 3 cats while we were out of town for 4 days. Always followed up, sent photos and videos, and made us feel like our boys were in good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Megan was so wonderful!! She was very communicative and took lots of pictures of our babies each visit. She had to administer transdermal medicine for one of my cats twice a day and did so with ease! She even swept and vacuumed around their litter boxes (which was definitely not an expectation). I would 100% rebook with her 🤗”
“Denyal cared for our two cats for approximately two weeks. They were well cared for and not stressed out when we returned as they have been in the past with other sitters. She really cares for animals and it shows!”
About: I've watched several neighbors pets when they left out of town and they've relied on me countless times again. Also, if your animal is stressed I will stay with them as long as you approve. Animals are a way of my life. I've had so many growing up. I am working full time in Moon but I can stop and check or walk animals after 4:30pm and any time on weekends. If you prefere someone to stay we can arrange my schedule to work for that just give me plenty of notice. I live in millvale there are parks all around and I'm close to many other safe parks in shaler. I live with my mom and sister and they're big pet people.
About: I am a cat owner and a part time dog owner. I do have a limited amount of experience particularly in pet sitting, but I grew up around animals my whole life. I currently have a cat named Bandz whom I have had for about 7 years, since he was a baby cat. Throughout these years I have bathed, medicated, cuddled and learned his language. I am willing and eager to learn your pets language, so that I can take care of them to the best of my ability. I am currently funemployed so I am open to different times to care for your furry family. I know that it’s vacation time, so let me know your plans and let’s set something up! Each pet is different so I will follow the specific instructions provided by the owners, and observe their mannerisms to get to know them better.
About: I’ve lived with cats and dogs my entire life, along with horses, reptiles, and birds. I spent several years working for a pet care business, worked in customer care for a holistic pet store, have house-sat through Rover, and have boarded animals for friends. I recently lived with 3 German Shepherds, a Husky, and a two cats. I can handle animals of all energy levels. I am always taking care of animals! I have a dog of my own and often look after my friends’ and family’s pets. I have a flexible schedule so I always try to be there when people need me. Always cautious, ready to respect what an animal expects and needs, and more than happy to give them all the love and play, play, play
“Krista is a wonderful pet sitter! She went over & above in her care and attention to my kitty, and gave me regular updates for which I was very grateful. I highly recommend Krista;your pet will in good hands!”
About: I have 5+ (and counting) years of dog experience working at a well known doggy daycare and boarding facility in Pittsburgh! Outside of work, I am the go to pet sitter for all of my friends and family members. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, temperaments, and varying medical needs. My work schedule is flexible, so between my schedule and my husband's, your pup should never be on their own for more than five or six hours at a time. My husband and I live in a duplex unit in central Lawrenceville with a fenced in back patio area. We are right down the hill from Arsenal Park, which is a great spot for walks! In your home, you can trust me to stick to business and ensure that your pup is receiving quality care in the comfort of their own home. Every dog is different, and I am more than willing to accommodate each and every one!
About: I have had 3 dogs of my own! An Australian Cattle Dog Mix, a Basenji mix, and a working line large breed German Shepherd, which I helped train in obedience to be an SD. My dogs always had scheduled potty breaks and playtime. My job is to make sure your pet has the best time while keeping boundaries/respecting their space, ensuring their safety, and following your expectations of care. I am comfortable with any amount of shedding and the size of your pet. I can especially ease my interaction with pets that are scared and anxious, as through training my own dog, I am better at picking up the dog’s body language and only engage in physical contact if the pet’s body language consents. If you have an aggressive pet, please notify me beforehand. I do not guarantee I will agree to care for them, but I am interested in scheduling a first meeting if possible. Note: I do not drink/smoke, so your loved one will never be affected by second-hand smoke or inappropriate behavior. I am very available on the weekends and by the afternoon on weekdays. If you need morning care, please reach out and I will see if I can accommodate! My pets are routinely groomed and freshened. Everytime they come inside after heavy play, I clean their body from head to toe with pet friendly wipes. I use a brush that helps with shedding and smoothing out hair. Their teeth gets brushed every 2 weeks. I check their ears for dirt routinely and the inside of their paws for any injuries or cracking from dryness.
About: I have taken care of all different kinds of dogs since high school and have grown up with cats! I love animals of all kinds and getting to know them. Most days I work from home so I will be there with your pet most of the day. I don’t have any other pets. I live in an apartment building with many green areas surrounding it and a fenced in dog area. It is a great space for dogs and there are other dogs that live in the building.
“Jim immediately showed himself to be caring and capable with our special needs Husky. He administered shots and oral medications for 3 drop-in visits. We felt comfortable that our dog was in good hands.”
“Becca did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was away! Booking was such a smooth process. She was on time every day, and she sent daily photos and videos. Would definitely book again.”
“Lauren is absolutely awesome. She is great with the dogs, follows instructions, and has great communication. She is also flexible which was a huge bonus. She sends pictures after every visit and lets you know how everything went. I have full trust in her and would definitely recommend her.”
About: We have taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds for as long as we can remember. We both have experience administering medications to cats and dogs alike and we both have a love for animals. We are both currently working as physical therapists with opposite schedules so one of us will be available for your pets at almost any time of day. We will also stay over any nights needed! We will both be very respectful of your home and your pets. We both just want them to be as happy as they can be while you are away. We will always be sure to clean up after being there (no one likes to come home to someone else’s mess)
“Mamie was attentive, professional, and made us feel comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands. She sent updates and photos promptly and was detailed in her report cards. We also have two large breeds, and she handled them with ease. I can’t recommend her enough! Our dogs loved her😊”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Etna
Abigail was wonderful! We ended up having some last minute work being done on our yard, but she was flexible and went with the flow do what the dogs needed and could be done with our gate open. The dogs adored her and she took good pictures! She arrived on time or a few minutes early to each appointment.
Nick was amazing! He was available on short notice and made communication super easy. During our meet and greet Nick asked great questions and made sure he had all the information he needed to take care of Ruby and built an immediate rapport with her. We will definitely be hiring Nick again in the future!
Milica responded on short notice and did a wonderful job. My miniature schnauzer, Isabella, was having a tough day, but things got better as soon as Milica got down on the floor to play with her. She has a great feel for dogs, and Isabella took to her right away. I also love that she takes her on long walks and sends lots of photos and videos throughout the day—it’s so nice to see how Isabella is doing while I’m away.
Deneane was absolutely amazing!! She loved on our dogs so well and made them feel like they had a new friend to hangout with. She sent us the cutest pics of our dogs and took care of them as if they were her own. We will most certainly be using her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone!
Margaret is great! We can always tell when Nona has been well taken care of when we come back to a dog that barely missed us. Margaret was super punctual, and I loved getting her detailed updates, letting me know how Nona was doing kept me relaxed and allowed me to enjoy my trip
Cam did a fantastic job taking care of our dogs (trouble maker and perfect angel)! She was helpful, asked questions at the right moments, and used her own discretion to make decisions when needed. I would very much recommend Cam to anyone in need of a dog sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Etna is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $20 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 2,533 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Etna. 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Etna choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Etna with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
