About: For the past 10 plus years, I have volunteered at a local animal shelter, where I care for dogs by walking and feeding them. I have been a lifelong dog owner, and I currently have two dogs: a dachshund and a medium-sized Labrador/Pit Bull mix. Spending time with dogs is something I enjoy, and caring for them is rewarding. Their companionship brings me a great deal of happiness. I am available during the day as well as in the evenings. Anytime after 5pm is perfect for me! I can do weekend mornings and days as well. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my dogs, especially playing with their favorite toys. We often play with a ball outside and enjoy relaxing together in the sunshine.
“I'm very grateful to Dana for her kindness and patience with my two cats. She goes above and beyond to make sure that my home is in good condition, as well as taking great care of Fabio and Windi. My finicky cats highly recommend Dana!”
“Hannah filled in while my dog walker was unavailable for a week last minute. Hannah was able to make herself available for a meet and greet with very little notice and did fantastic with my pup, Luna. She was so communicative and sent the best pictures. I will definitely be reaching out to Hannah in the future!”

“Ryan was an excellent find! Pleasant, dependable, and responsive, he did a fantastic job of taking care of my three cats while we were away for almost two weeks. Not only did he take care of my boys, he also brought in all the packages that we received while we were gone. He will be my first call when I need a pet care from here on out. Thanks Ryan!!”
“Gia is an exceptional Pet sitter and my dogs LOVE her. Gia is always on time and fantastic with the dogs. I got a new puppy this summer and Gia stepped right in to help with all that that involves. My older dog adores her. I was so comfortable leaving my girls with her. She is someone i would never hesitate to call. Fantastic sitter !”
“Caitlyn was an excellent sitter for my two kitties. She responded quickly & was able to accommodate a last minute booking. Definitely would book again. Thanks Caitlyn! (Also the pictures were adorable!! ☺️)”
“Abriana took the best care of our Samson. He can be very shy especially when away from us and we could tell through all the pictures of videos we got throughout the stay that he was comfortable with her. Abriana took great care of Samson and kept us updated all weekend.”
“Great experience with Abigail. She was responsive, caring, respectful of my home and pets, and most importantly, my cats both liked her! My cats were in very capable hands and I'll definitely request care from her again!”
About: I have had 3 rescue dogs and 3 rescue cats over the past 30 years. I have dealt with all ages and various medical conditions. In addition, I have continuously watched dogs for my family and friends. For several years I also volunteered for Animal Friends, walking dogs and doing cat socialization. I work a full time job, Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. I have plenty of availability weekday evenings. The weekends I am available from 7am to 10pm. I treat your home and your furry family members with the utmost respect and care. During my visits, I ensure your pet stays strictly on their familiar routine to minimize any stress or anxiety. I keep a watchful eye on their behavior, ensuring they don't chew on anything hazardous and stay safe while exploring the yard or going on walks. Your home's security is vital to me, so I double-check locks every time I enter or leave. In the rare event of an issue, I am fully prepared to contact your preferred veterinarian and coordinate with Rover's 24/7 support team immediately.
“My two Great Danes absolutely love Brianna! She always takes the time to play with them in the yard and makes sure to follow any instructions I give. Her communication is excellent! she keeps me updated on everything, which gives me such peace of mind while I’m away. It’s clear she truly cares about my dogs, and I will definitely continue having her do visits with them. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can count on!”
About: I have been an animal lover all my life and have been around all types of animals. But dogs are my sweet spot. I have owned my own dog for the past 3 years, but have had numerous family dogs while growing up. I learned how to train my own dog by getting training lessons for her. I love caring my friend’s dogs and am often the one they ask to watch their pets when they leave town. I will give your pet all the scratches and belly rubs they desire as well take them on walks in my neighborhood as often as needed. As of now, I’m only able to do house sitting on the weekends, but I’m glad to do drop in visits and walking throughout the week. I currently work in a hybrid job setting where I am home 2 days a week and in the office 3 days a week. But I am able to take breaks to take pups out for walks every 4-6 hours. I when walking other people’s dogs I am make sure they are leashes securely and comfortably. I only walk in neighborhoods that are walkable or if needed can transport in my car to a a more walkable neighborhood. I want all the dogs I care for to feel safe when out on their walks.
About: I am happy watching and caring for animals of all types. I have had experiences abroad in third world countries providing both care and attention to dogs and cats. I have also volunteered at an animal rescue tending to dogs and cats for over 9 years. I will provide a caring, affectionate , and loving home for the time being for your furry friend :) I am active and would love to take dogs on long walks to the park or on the trails; I would be more than happy to take your dog on a walk several times a day. I also have & love feline friends too! If need be I can administer medications. All animals and pets are welcome, and will be provided with a comfotable and loving atmosphere. I am able to care for animals in the mornings/ early afternoons, or in the evening. On weekends my work schedule varies, but I am pretty flexible. I am never gone for more than four hours at a time. I bring a calm and steady presence, respecting your pets boundaries and allowing them to feel safe. I will ensure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve while also recognizing they may need time to feel comfortable. Whether your pet enjoys pets and playing right away, or prefers to watch me from afar, I will bring both compassion and a warm presence into your home/their space.
“Savannah was truly outstanding. I had just started fostering a dog a week prior to her coming in, and she stepped in flawlessly. Had no issue washing the bedding when an accident happened, exhausted both dogs and made them happy and safe through out the whole week. She’s competent, figured out where everything was, and professional to a T. Would rebook her for a longer vacation anytime.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - McKees Rocks
We had a great experience with Katelyn! She was able to help us out on short notice and immediately put us at ease by coming over for a meet-and-greet beforehand. She was punctual, spent quality time with Ollie and Archie, made sure they were fed, pottied, and received their medication, and kept us updated throughout the visit. We would absolutely recommend her and look forward to booking with her again!
Taylor has walked Rocco for about two years while I’ve had work assignments in downtown Pittsburgh. He loves her. She always goes above and beyond and has helped us find alternate walkers if she’s away. Unfortunately we’re moving north, but would continue using her without reservation.
Grace watched our two dogs while we were out of town for a few days. She got to know our doggos ahead of time and was very friendly and kind when we met her. She was punctual and professional. Grace communicated with us when necessary when taking care of our dogs. She let us know that they were eating their food and doing well on their walks, and she always provided lovely photos so we could see them while we were away. When we got back from our trip we could see our home and doggos had been well cared for. I fully recommend Grace to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.
Mariah (Sage) was the sweetest and most attentive person to watch my dogs. I have two very large dogs (over 130 pounds) and they adored her. I will be using her again very shortly! She gave me photos and was just overall a 11/10. I would recommend her over and over again.
We are so thankful to have found Kasey and Alyssa! They are amazing. Very warm and friendly and know what they are doing. Our dogs took to them immediately. We feel so relieved to have found a good fit for what we were looking for in help with drop-in visits (people who know and understand older dogs, who have great communication and are kind). We will definitely be making more repeat bookings. Thank you both for being PAWsome!🐾
Mamie was attentive, professional, and made us feel comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands. She sent updates and photos promptly and was detailed in her report cards. We also have two large breeds, and she handled them with ease. I can’t recommend her enough! Our dogs loved her😊
Richard was great. He met our girls- and handled my “wild one” very well. I truly appreciate his passion and care he provided. And love the fact that he understands that our pets are family! Will definitely call on Rick again. It great to find someone you trust. Best, Layla and Mila’s Mom
Lauren is AMAZING! She makes sure that Ryder is loved and cared for while I am away, picks up on his weird quirks of wanting to take stuff with him while he’s on a walk, and calms his nerves with cars. I know when she comes that he is in good hands, and he has a wonderful time with her. I wish I could give her more stars, as she is the best!! Thank you for all that you do!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a McKees Rocks stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in McKees Rocks choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in McKees Rocks with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
