Cat Sitting Indianola

“Mary took great care of our cat Lucy who can be a little shy. Mary followed all of our instructions and even convinced Lucy to cuddle a bit. I also liked all of the pictures. Thanks again, Mary!”

“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!”

“Emily went above and beyond to try helping my skittish new rescue dog feel more comfortable when she came to take him on a walk. I’m so appreciative of her efforts.”

About: Since 2019, I've worked as a Behavior Care provider at a local animal shelter, an experience that has deeply shaped how I approach animal care. Working closely with so many different animals taught me that each one is truly an individual—with their own personality, needs, and way of seeing the world. I approach every animal with curiosity and understanding, meeting them where they are rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. My training includes behavior care, medication administration, and exercise protocols, along with Karen Pryor clicker training certification in positive reinforcement. I lead with empathy and a genuine love for animals in everything I do. I've also been pet sitting for the past six years, primarily with dogs and cats, though I welcome the opportunity to care for all kinds of animals—I'm a lifelong learner with a deep love for anything animal-related. Outside of animal care, I bring a diverse professional background in clinical oncology research, patient care, advocacy, and navigation. That said, some of my most meaningful time is still spent with our four-legged friends. 🐾 I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be fully present and attentive to the animals in my care. I work remote and have a lot of flexibility throughout the week to accommodate any type of schedule. I am available early morning midday as well as evening and late night. Each animal and each environment is different so I lead with good communication on how each family desires their home and pets to be cared for.

“Patrick was fantastic and great with Tater. Tater seemed to love his walks and hanging out and I'll definitely be looking to book with Patrick in the future!”

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.

“Denyal is always amazing! We have asked her to drop in on our pets several times and she never disappoints! She provides plenty of photos and details and is great with communication”

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.

“Rachel took great care of my cat while I was away.”

About: Although I do not currently have pets of my own, I have always loved animals and have been the go-to pet sitter for friends and colleagues since moving back to Pittsburgh in 2019. I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from quick check-ins to longer stays. Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible and I can provide consistent care, attention, and updates while you are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and your home, so I try to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. Since I do not have pets of my own, I genuinely enjoy getting to care for other people’s pets like they are part of my extended family. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I can provide pet care during the day, in the evenings, and on weekends depending on the booking. Because I can work from different locations, I’m able to spend quality time with pets during house sitting stays and provide consistent check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, and updates. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable with their usual routine, space, food, toys, and schedule. I always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding, medication, walks, litter care, crate routines, and any house rules. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I prioritize communication, safety, and calm, attentive care. I’ll also send updates so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.

“Ashley did a fantastic job with our three cats, though they can be challenging. She stayed in our house and left everything looking great. We would not hesitate to book her again.”

“She did an amazing job and my kitties had a great time with her! She took great photos and communicated well-would highly recommend!”

“Theresa had great communication and took fantastic care of my four cats while I was out of town. Everything was in perfect order when I returned. I would definitely book her again!”

About: I've had multiple dogs and cats my whole life and they have all been my best friends! We like to cuddle, go on walks and learn new skills. I'm no stranger to pets of all different personalities and know how to meet them where they are. I'm experienced in providing insulin to dogs and topical treatment to cats. I don't currently have pets of my own but have spent weeks looking after the cats and dogs of friends and family. I love those times that I'm able to bond with their fur babies and would love to get to know yours as well! I currently work remotely and can be available for boarding throughout the week and weekend. I'm available to hangout with your pets, take them on walks or bathroom breaks, feed times or personal enrichment, whatever they may need. I have a backyard that pets can run around in, it is fenced on one side only so they would need to have a long leash for safety. I don't have other pets so they wouldn't have any problems there! If coming to your home I'm happy to go by the rules that you set and the comfort levels that you have. I always find pets do best in their comfort zones anyway and I'm excited to meet them where they are!

“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!!!😻😻😻”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog. I’ve grown up around family pets and understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m available 24/7. I have 4 dogs at home and am willing to pet sit at any point of any day! I’m just getting started on rover and would love to get my name out there! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both personal and professional settings. I previously worked for a local groomer as a dog bather, where I became comfortable handling dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition, I regularly care for my family’s dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, spending time with them, and pet sitting when family members are away. I also help care for pets for extended family members, including my aunts and uncles, who trust me with their dogs while they travel or need extra help. I truly enjoy being around animals and am looking forward to expanding my services to help more pet owners feel confident their dogs are safe, cared for, and treated like family.

“Chris and his wife took very good care of my Kitty Ember! They sent frequent updates and photos it her on an earring schedule that actually suited her better then mines did. As a first time pet sitting service user, I was ver anxiety ridden. I was unsure of leaving Ember with someone I didn’t know personally but they showed me why they have 8 repeat clients! Next time I go on vacation, I hope they’re still on Rover because their service was very much to my liking.”

About: I have owned and cared for pets my entire life, including neighbor’s, family’s, and friends’ pets! I have experience with senior dogs and puppies with my own dogs. I have cared for creatures of all kinds including dogs, cats, fish, birds, bunnies, and more! I recently graduated high school and am available for most of the summer and over my school breaks. During the summer, I occasionally babysit and I volunteer at a dojo on Saturday mornings. I only have a few small vacations so I am free the majority of the time. I have a dog of my own and do not want to risk conflicts so I am offering services that do not require pets to visit my home. I have a background in teaching so I am very observant and energetic if needed so your pet will have someone to watch them and play with them. I love being outside so I will gladly take your pet on walks and play with them outside.

“Sydney did a great job taking care of our cat while we were gone. She followed all the instructions we left and kept her company at night as well. She sent so many updates and pictures and was so accommodating!”

About: HUGE animal lover! Ever since I was a kid I have loved surrounding myself with animals/pets. I grew up having dogs and cats so they have a special place in my heart. I’m currently working two jobs: full-time at Wilson McGinley 5 days a week and part-time at a Hitchhiker Brewing. The full time requires me to be gone 2-8 hours (flexible with being an on premise sales rep) and the brewery is a 7 hour shift. I can always make time for pet care! When I am at someone’s home I can take the dog outside every 2-4 hours and can provide daily walks. If I am staying at someone’s place I usually tend to clean their home because I want to show a level of respect for anyone allowing me to stay at their home.
