“Allison was able to help over the tricky days of the holiday and did so on short notice. She was always timely, thorough, and took amazing care of our pets. Her communications were excellent, too. I'm sure we'll go back to her again should need arise.”
“Tiffany was great and took good care of our boys. She was easy to communicate with and responsive. Sent pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend!”
“Courtney took such great care and played with our kitty Semita, highly recommend! Booked last minute trip and she was great at communicating and taking pictures!”
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: I’m 26 years old, currently work full time as a nanny! I’ve grown up with dogs & cats my whole life & recently had to put my dog down due to kidney failure. I believe pets brings so much joy into our lives so coming home to a furry friend my favorite! I love taking dogs out for walks, playing in the backyard or whatever your dog’s favorite activity is! I’ve taken dogs to daycare, or come to let them out at the house mid day for a potty break! We can discuss this more in depth though:) I am very comfortable with walking dogs, crating dogs during the day or night if requested by owner. And have no problem with a fenced yard for just needing a leash every time.
“Danielle did an excellent job taking care of my six foster cats while I was out of town. Danielle was extremely responsive and dependable and that really set my mind at ease. It is hard for me to leave them as some often require socialization and I can’t afford to lose any progress. Danielle spent quality time as requested and documented the progress each day. It was so exciting to get to the hotel every evening to unwind and read the progress updates and see her pictures.”
“Ryan was great with Rocket this weekend while I was at work. Let me know his arrival time and asked if there was anything else Rocket needed before he left. Would and will definitely use him again.”
“Naomi was great with Hermes. He warmed up to her in just a short while, which is no small accomplishment. He's usually pretty circumspect around strangers. Naomi kept us well informed with photos, where Hermes seemed to enjoy her company as much as (or more than!) ours.”
About: I've cared for all kinds of animals and am happy to do dirty work that animals need to live clean. I'm a thorough, compassionate caretaker and I want to work with what your house and pets need. I work 5 days a week as a park ranger, but am looking for care opportunities in certain evenings and on weekends. I have two cats myself, which limits my boarding opportunities, but my schedule still allows for overnight stays. I have two cats myself, both are fed no-grain dry food and vitamin/oral supplements with wet food. One cat needs much play, exercise, and attention, while the other needs to be seen and talked sweetly to, and only pet while she eats. I've spent much time learning their behaviors and needs, and intend to do the same with every animal in my care. Even my snake had a way to tell me he was too cold or overhandled and wanted to be put back. I've had many guinea pigs and hamsters, and came up with creative ways to enrich them without endangering them. I've cared for many bugs, and know how and when to check their moisture levels, I do extended research on their diet needs and substrate needs, and I'll do the same for you. Animals and pets are family, though they can't tell you what they need, you can always learn and provide for them.
About: I have had pets all of my life. I also have extensive pet rescue experience with pets of all kinds and ages. I frequently foster animals and have a few “foster fails” that are now a permanent part of my family. I have 2 dogs and 1 cat that I spend time with all day. I am available most times of the day and I am excited to help your fur family members! I have experience with kenneling, ensuring gates and fences are secured, following best guidelines to avoid dog bloat, and understand the needs of reactive dogs and puppies ( along with non reactive dogs, of course).
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.
“I booked Sarah through Rover to check in on my pets while I was on vacation, and she was amazing! She visited daily, walked Yogi three times a day, and made sure Luna was happy and cared for. I loved getting picture updates, and she contacted me right away with any concerns. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were well cared for, which let me really enjoy my trip. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“We were away for just over three weeks. Kate came to take care of my 2 cats. She provided photos and full details of cat care daily. One cat has to take a pill and she reassured me that all was well at home. She also watered my indoor plants and took the used kitty litter to the curb on trash night. (So there was not an unliftable bag of litter to haul out upon return.). All interactions in person and text were great. My cats, including the shy one who gets the pill, really seemed to like her and interacted well with her.”
“Christy was great to work with - nice, communicative, and sent detailed updates! My dog seemed comfortable with her, and was in good spirits when I returned home. Would definitely re-book!”

My dog instantly connected with Aubra at our meet and greet! She provided a couple of drop-in visits and was very punctual. She kept me updated with great communication throughout, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I could tell my dog was comfortable and well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Aubra.
For a vacation where everything that could go wrong almost did, Kayli was the one reliable positive thing that we had to deal with through our planning and travels! Kayli was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and was super understanding and easy going while dealing with our pipes freezing while she stayed with our pets. I also think our pets behaved better for her than they do for us!! I was a little reluctant to use rover as we have always had friends stay with our pets but I am so happy to have found Kayli!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fox Chapel is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $19 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 2,608 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fox Chapel. 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

- 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 .
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.
