“Janessa did an amazing job sitting our two cats! After each visit, she sent us a very thorough update with how everything went and included photos of not only the cats, but the specific tasks I asked her to do. She also didn’t hesitate to reach out when she had a concern about one of our cats, which made me feel confident they were in good hands. I’ll definitely re-book with Janessa in the future!”

“Lydia is incredibly pet-friendly and caring. We knew that six small-breed dogs could be a challenge, but she was able to meet each of their individual needs while keeping us updated throughout the entire stay, which gave us complete peace of mind. We were able to truly enjoy our vacation because we knew they were in great hands. Lydia was very proactive, attentive, and communicative. We would definitely trust her with our dogs again and will gladly use her services in the future.”

About: I have my own 5 year old corgi, Winnie and 2 year old corgi, Walter. I’ve watched my friends’, neighbors’ and parent’s dogs for years. I love all dogs and know how important it is to trust the person caring for your fur baby! I am home early on Fridays and all day during the weekends. I love to walk and spend time outdoors and am happy to take your pup along! Need early weekday mornings or weekday evening help? Just ask- we can make it work! My dog is my child and I intend to treat your pup just the same! I am happy to follow any specifics you have to keep your pet comfortable- no request is too crazy. I get it- they’re your best friend!

About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting for about 3 years now and I’ve been walking pets for my whole life! I’ve had experience walking big dogs, around 90lbs, so you don’t need to worry - I also do crossfit so I can handle bigger dogs! I love pets and would love to help out when needed! I am available anytime on the weekend and during the evening time on weekdays. I work a 9-5 so if need be I can also do an early morning call! I stick to your dog’s routine as closely as possible—walk times, feeding schedule, playtime, cuddles, and even those weird little rituals they insist on (yes, I’ll fluff their bed exactly how they like it). I make sure they feel comfortable in their familiar space and keep you updated with photos and messages, so you don’t miss a tail wag.

“Shaina did an amazing job taking care of my two kitties while I was gone for three weeks. She gave them lots of attention, play time, and grooming, and kept them happy and well fed. I was also pleasantly surprised with how much she went above and beyond to keep the litter box area tidy and vacuum up the fur they were shedding everywhere. She gave me plenty of updates, photos, and videos, and was always super responsive to text messages. I will absolutely request her services next time and highly recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur babies!”

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.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs—I’ve never gone a day in my 19 years without one by my side. I understand their needs, personalities, and routines deeply. I’m skilled in caring for puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and comfortable in my care. Pet care is seamlessly woven into my daily life, as I’ve always had dogs by my side. From early morning walks to consistent feeding schedules, playtime, and attentive care, I prioritize their well-being effortlessly. Caring for pets isn’t just a task for me—it’s a rewarding part of my routine that I genuinely love. I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique needs, whether in my home or my client’s. In my home, I ensure a safe, clean, and welcoming environment with plenty of space for play and relaxation. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow their routines closely, maintaining a familiar and comforting atmosphere. From feeding and exercise to companionship and attention, I treat every pet like family.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of 15+ years of hands-on experience with animals and my genuine passion for providing exceptional, personalized care. Caring for pets has always been something I love, and I take the time to understand each animal’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I am experienced with dog walking, pet sitting, grooming, puppy care, senior pet care, and providing extra patience and attention when animals need it most. I understand that puppies need consistency, positive reinforcement, exercise, and guidance as they learn, while senior pets often require a gentler approach, extra comfort, and attention to changes in their needs. I also have experience caring for cats and understand the importance of respecting their individual personalities—whether they are playful and social or more independent and reserved. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience providing drop-in care for farm animals, including chickens and goats. Farm visits can include feeding, providing and refreshing water, putting out hay, collecting eggs, and making sure each animal is safe, comfortable, and cared for according to their normal routine. I understand that farm animals have their own routines and care requirements, and I am comfortable taking the time needed to make sure everything is done properly. My goal is to provide more than just basic care. I focus on creating a safe, loving, and enriching experience for every animal while giving owners peace of mind through reliable communication, updates, and personalized attention. Whether I’m caring for a beloved family dog, a shy cat, or a small farm full of animals, I treat every animal with the same level of patience, respect, and care I would want for my own. I feel honored to be trusted with someone’s furry, feathered, or four-legged family members and look forward to providing them with dependable, loving care while you’re away. I am currently dedicating my full-time focus to growing my animal care business, which allows me to provide flexible, reliable, and attentive care for my clients’ pets. Because pet care is my primary commitment, I’m able to give each animal the time, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. My daily routine revolves around creating a safe, comfortable, and positive experience for every pet in my care—whether that means morning walks, playtime, feeding routines, enrichment activities, grooming needs, or simply providing companionship while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take pride in being dependable, responsive, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I offer flexible, dependable pet care options designed to keep your furry family member happy, comfortable, and well cared for in the environment where they feel most at ease. I provide in-home visits, dog walking, and overnight stays for both dogs and cats, with care tailored to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs. Whether your pet needs daily exercise, companionship, feeding routines, medication reminders, playtime, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to provide the level of care that works best for them. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe and loved. I also offer pet grooming services, including basic grooming care to help your pet look and feel their best. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care while giving you peace of mind knowing your pet is in great hands.

About: I’ve had hands on experience with animals my whole life, I have experienced feeding, walking, grooming, exercise. Monitoring their health in a safe loving environment. Dog walking fits well into my schedule because I work part-time, which gives me flexibility to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend walks. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure I arrive on time and can give each dog the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. If I have any scheduling conflicts, I communicate with owners in advance. I understand that trust is essential when caring for someone’s pet and home. I treat every home with respect and follow care instructions exactly as provided. I make safety my top priority by keeping doors and gates secure, supervising pets, avoiding unsafe situations during dog walks and ensuring they always have fresh food, water and a clean environment.

Janessa did an amazing job sitting our two cats! After each visit, she sent us a very thorough update with how everything went and included photos of not only the cats, but the specific tasks I asked her to do. She also didn’t hesitate to reach out when she had a concern about one of our cats, which made me feel confident they were in good hands. I’ll definitely re-book with Janessa in the future!

We have been working with Ayla for a couple of years while she lived in Chicago, and we were so sad to learn she was moving home to PGH after graduation. Ayla is extremely reliable and such a wonderful pet sitter. She is very detail-oriented and prepared for every visit. She most recently cared for our cat (cranky) but also has experience with our dog (pittie), and they are both enamored with her. She truly got to know our pets, and her care for them exceeded our expectations. She always provided regular and consistent photos and updates, easing our minds while we were away. From drop-ins to house sitting, we always came home to happy and healthy pets and a clean apartment at that. There's no need to look any further for your go-to sitter because Ayla is it! We can't thank her enough!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Mccandless

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
