“Mary is a delight! She is extremely easy to work with, and very thorough! She even watered my garden for me everyday. I already rebooked my next visit with her when we leave again at the end of the year. Thank you, Mary!! :) :)”
About: I'm a dog mom myself & I treat every dog with the exact same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care requires total peace of mind, which is why I prioritize strict attention to routine, safety, and proactive communication. I currently work from 7am - 3pm on weekdays. I am fully available on weekends and overnights. After 3pm on weekdays I am fully available for drop ins and walks. I have a fenced in yard, and a Golden Retriever who is very friendly and well trained. I make sure there is always a water in my dogs bowl and I am on schedule with her feeding times.
“My senior cat is high maintenance and Ryan did a great job caring for him! Kitty is very shy so I was surprised that Ryan sent a picture of him petting his head. He even fed my semi feral cat!”
About: 🐶 Having been surrounded by dogs my entire life, I’ve developed a deep understanding and appreciation for their care. Growing up with dogs and raising my own, Harlow 🐾, from a puppy, has given me firsthand experience in fostering their well-being. My passion for animals extends beyond personal experience—participation in clubs at the Pittsburgh Zoo 🦁 provided me with valuable insights into animal behavior and care, further enhancing my knowledge. Being from Pittsburgh, I am fluent with many resources for me to enjoy with pets. 🐕🦺 My pet care journey started in 2014 with my first job at a dog care store on Butler Street, where I honed my skills in providing attentive and compassionate care. During my internship with the Water Authority in Bradford, PA, I dedicated my lunch breaks to volunteering at the local SPCA 🏠, offering love and attention to animals in need. These experiences have shaped me into a dedicated, knowledgeable, and empathetic sitter. 💛 As an alumni M.S. engineering student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for my pets. I can easily fit dog walks, feeding, and playtime into my routine, ensuring each pet gets the attention it deserves. My love for animals and adaptable schedule make it easy to prioritize their well-being. During 2025 i cared for two dogs, my mother's and her boyfriend's, and have hands-on experience managing their daily needs. At home, I ensure a safe environment with our fenced-in yard and always prioritize the pets' well-being. For my clients' pets, I’m adaptable to their specific routines, whether that involves feeding, walks, playtime, or creating a comfortable space. Every pet in my care receives love and attention tailored to their unique needs.
“Kaitlyn was an amazing pet sitter for our 120 pound great pyr/ GSD mix! While our dog can be a bit tough meeting new people, Kaitlyn dove right in and provided regular check ins, potty breaks, and playtime for our boy. Would highly recommend!”
“Incredibly reliable and attentive sitter. My cat took to her immediately! I received pictures and regular updates with every visit. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone!”
“Denyal was the BEST! In constant communication with me and made sure my kitties were loved on while I wasn’t home! Def will reach out to her again for pet sitting services!”
“Crystal cared for our very shy cat and for tropical fish in two large tanks. Crystal arrived on time and did everything that was asked of her. She fed our cat Pearl twice each day, and gave her the medication she needs. She spent time with Pearl to let her know she is her friend. Crystal left the litter box area and kitchen spotless. I trust Crystal as an excellent sitter and will definitely ask her to pet sit again!”
“Kate is such a a wonderful cat sitter! Her check-ins were thorough and she always communicated clearly how my cat was doing. I felt very comfortable and relaxed my whole vacation knowing my cat was in good hands! I highly recommend Kate!”
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: 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.
About: I’ve cared for my own dog for years and regularly watch friends’ pups. I’m genuinely loving, attentive, dependable, and treat every pet like family! I work from home the majority of the week, so I have plenty of flexibility to give pets attention, walks, playtime, and lots of love throughout the day. I’m also always out exploring with my own dog, so I’d love to bring your pup along for walks and adventures when appropriate! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! Our home has two friendly cats, our own dog, and a large yard for supervised outdoor time. The yard is always used on a lead. I will treat your pet like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home!

I’m reliable, nurturing, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away or busy. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own! I’m currently working part time as a hairstylist, Im relatively new to Pittsburgh and am slowly rebuilding a clientele. This allows for pockets of free time during the work week as well as some weekdays off so I can be available to check on your pets while you’re working or check in on them during a weekend trip away. I am well versed in pet safety and have plenty of experience in creating a safe and welcoming environment so you and your pet can feel at ease.
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life and love them so much! I have experience pet sitting for families all over my neighborhood and can even administer medications if needed. I would love to help take care of your pet! I’m a full time medical student, but love dogs and cats so I am extremely flexible and willing to take time out of my day to walk your dog or spend time with your cat. I am very familiar with skiddish dogs as both of my own are rescues. I will be sure to keep dogs on a leash at all times and walk them in safe areas.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 425 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Indianola. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 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.

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.
