About: I signed up to take care of my sisters brand new puppy (a golden doodle named Clover) for the first two weeks that they had her. They had to work and got to a conference — and I have loved caring for dogs ever since. This experience showed me the continuous attention and care needed at the puppy age and how gratifying it was in return. Since then, I adopted my first dog — she is now a 2.5 year old rescue pug/bull dog mix. I work full time and I am joining Rover to spend more time with dogs! Most of my availability is on week nights and weekends. Our dog sleeps crated every night for her comfort. Your dog will be crated as well, or I can board at your house with or without a crate!

“Becca is consistently good to us. Communicative, great pictures and when I get home the cat acts like she was well loved while I was away and her health and happiness are priority. Anything slightly different Becca fills me in so I’m not caught off guard and we are on the same page. Thanks Becca!!!”

About: Hello! I work from home so, the dogs are under constant supervision. I will only be watching one dog at a time. I have a cat who likes to keep to herself. I presently work from home so I will be able to provide your puppers constant care. I love taking dogs on long walks around Lawrenceville! Fenced in backyard. pups will get plenty of exercise playing with me and going for walks. I understand the trust that owners are placing in me to care for their most loved pets and take that responsibility very seriously. I love and treat the dogs I watch as if they are my own🧡

About: I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable pet sitter who genuinely loves spending time with animals. I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so I will be sure to send you detailed updates and photos. I have a 7-year-old blue Pitbull of my own, who has taught me so much about caring for and understanding dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs and have spent plenty of time caring for dogs of friends and family. Some of the different breeds I’ve taken care of are bichon frisé, English bulldog, black lab, chihuahua, miniature golden-doodle, labradoodle, dachshunds, beagles and many more! I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I know that every dog is unique, and I love taking the time to get to know what makes each pup happy and comfortable. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, lots of playtime, a little extra attention, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s personality, routine, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they can have the best experience possible. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup and become someone you can trust whenever you need a sitter. ❤️🐶 Pet care fits easily into my schedule because I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days and times. This allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve rather than trying to fit them into a busy work schedule. I’m flexible with walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine. I understand that every pet and family has different needs, so I’ll do my best to accommodate your preferred schedule and make things as easy and stress-free as possible for you and your pet. I prioritize safety, trust, and making sure every pet feels comfortable in their own environment. I’m happy to care for pets in their home, where they can stay in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routine. Before each stay, I’ll take the time to learn about your pet’s personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite activities, and any special instructions. I’ll make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure and will always be mindful of your pet’s safety. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with a beloved member of your family. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️

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.

About: Hi, I'm Sam! I've been dog walking and pet sitting on Rover since 2022, and I grew up with pets my whole life — birds first, then dogs — so caring for animals has always felt like second nature to me. I also sit for cats and am comfortable administering medication. You'll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I send photos and updates every day, and more if you'd like them. Before every visit/stay, I'll want to know exactly what your pet needs, from their routine to their quirks, so they're comfortable while you're away. I work a hybrid schedule, so on weekdays I'm typically out for a few hours during the day, and your pet's routine (feeding, walks, downtime) stays consistent around that. Your pet's comfort and safety are my top priority, and I love building an ongoing relationship with the pets I care for. I'd love to meet you and your pup (or pets!) soon. I currently work a flexible hybrid schedule, so I have time to give your furry friend the love and attention they need! Drop-ins and walks fit easily into my day, and for house sits I'm usually out for a few hours at a time, so your pet's routine (feeding, walks, downtime) stays consistent around that. I'm very receptive to the needs/wants of the owner and am also quite good at judging when furry friends are unhappy or stressed. I'll follow your instructions closely, send updates and photos, and reach out right away if anything is unclear or seems off!

About: I’ve been dog sitting for over 6 years and have cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. From playful puppies to mellow seniors, I adapt to each dog’s needs and personality. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who loves long walks or a cuddly couch companion, I’m experienced in creating a safe, loving environment that helps them feel right at home. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I work full-time during the week, but I’m completely free on weekends—perfect for giving your pet my full attention! Whether it’s boarding, drop-ins, or long walks, I make pet care my priority on weekends. I also have flexibility in the evenings during the week for check-ins or walks, depending on your needs. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I’m always happy to spend my free time with furry friends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority—whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine. I follow any instructions you leave carefully and stick to your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel secure and relaxed. I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and free of anything that could pose a risk (like small objects, harmful foods, or open doors). I always keep a close eye on pets during walks or playtime and provide regular updates so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. You can trust that your pet will be loved and well cared for, just like one of my own.

About: I’m a responsible and caring pet lover with 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve provided walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention for family and friends’ pets. I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m available for pet care throughout the week and can work pet visits into my schedule. I’m responsible, dependable, and will make sure I give each pet plenty of attention during every visit. I’m especially interested in regular walks and drop-in visits and will communicate with owners to make sure their pets receive the care they need. I’ve cared for family and friends’ dogs by taking them on walks, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they have plenty of food and water. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’ll follow each owner’s instructions carefully while making sure their pet feels safe and comfortable.

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 don’t just watch dogs, I genuinely love spending time with them. I’m the kind of person who gets excited to meet every dog I pass on a walk! My goal is to make your dog feel loved, comfortable, and stress free while you’re away. Whether your pup is energetic and loves adventures or prefers naps and cuddles, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and routine. You can expect lots of belly rubs, playtime, patience, and plenty of photo updates. I work Monday through Friday from 8–5, so my primary availability for pet care is during weeknights and weekends. I’m very intentional about dedicating that time to the pets in my care and adjusting my routine to accommodate their normal schedule, whether that means walks, feeding times, playtime, or simply keeping them company. Since being without my Golden, I’ve honestly felt a little emptiness in my day, which has made me realize even more how integral caring for dogs is to my life. Because of that, pet care is something I genuinely prioritize, and I want every pet I care for to feel comfortable, loved, and like their routine is being respected. I understand that every dog is different, just like people. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, boundaries, and communication style so I can adjust the way I interact with them based on what makes them feel most comfortable and secure. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or a client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely while paying attention to the dog’s individual responses and needs. My goal is never to force a dog to adapt to me, but to understand how I can best fit into their routine and earn their trust so they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owner is away.

I currently work full-time as a registered nurse, doing rotating (days and nights) 12 hour shifts, 3 days a week, so I typically have quite a bit of availability and a pretty flexible schedule!! I am currently available for drop-in visits to ensure your pet has all the care they need! I will also provide pictures and updates :) My cats get fed twice a day and have plenty of toys and scratch posts! I also have an abundance of treats for them to snack on!!

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Fox Chapel

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fox Chapel. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
