About: I live on an acre of land with more than half of it being yard With more than half of it being Space. I am able to create a bond with animals by giving them affection, attention, and treats. For walking appointments, my schedule is flexible between 10 AM and 7 PM But I’m also available to to offer overnight boarding care and check-in. I like to keep them active, playing, and happy so they could have the best experience I have to offer. I also like to keep the clients informed,and send them pictures. I like to make sure your pet is in my sight so I could keep them safe.
“Danielle helped me in a last minute pinch, responded promptly and was courteous and professional. She did exactly what I needed for my kitty - giving him his meds, cleaning his litterbox, and playing with him while also taking great update pics.”
About: I have a deep love for animals especially since I have a 10 year old schnauzer back home in Florida who I miss every day. Being around pets again brings me joy and comfort, and I always strive to give that same feeling back to the animals I care for. I treat every dog like my own; with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I also genuinely enjoy walking outdoors, so your pup will always get the exercise and fresh air they deserve. Whether it’s energetic playtime or gentle care for seniors, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I love going on walks every day, especially in the spring/ summertime. So taking dogs along just makes those moments even better. Since I work as a competitive gymnastics coach in the evenings, my mornings and afternoons are wide open for drop-ins, walks, and quality time with pets. It’s the perfect balance of movement, fresh air, and furry companionship! Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or dropping in for a visit, I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I take time to bond with each pet through play, cuddles, or just calm companionship. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family, always making sure they’re happy, exercised, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Richard did an incredible job. Showed up for daily visits with our pets and sent photos and report cards on every visit. Would definitely use again and recommend his services.”
“Return user ….Jake is the best!! Attention to detail and patience is his specialty. One cat is really shy but he always gets her to come around. Jake even provided details and pics of a water leak (as well as the cats).”
“Lauren is absolutely awesome. She is great with the dogs, follows instructions, and has great communication. She is also flexible which was a huge bonus. She sends pictures after every visit and lets you know how everything went. I have full trust in her and would definitely recommend her.”
“Abby, was so great with our Sailor. She has a friendly, confident and warm way with dogs! Sailor loved her right away when they met. I could tell how excellent her caregiving was as he did all his routines great with her-- a walk, bedtime routine, ate his meals, was calm and great when we got home. He is used to us being around and I hadn't left him for an overnight for some years, so it is all the more impressive that he adjusted so quickly to Abby. Also, we loved getting the detailed updates and pictures! We are so happy we were able to have Abby help us for these couple of days and know Sailor will want to have her back! Thanks for taking care with all our little notes about things, Abby! Hope we can have you back soon!”
“Maddi was a responsive, flexible and attentive caretaker for my two young house cats. I really appreciated her prompt communications and the photos she sent gave me peace of mind while I was gone on my week-long trip. Would use again, thanks Maddi!”
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and have been caring for them from a young age. I started dog sitting as a young teen for my aunt and now regularly care for a family friend’s Mastiff for about two weeks each year, so I’m no stranger to big dogs, drool, and extra-large cuddles. At home, my family shares responsibility for our Pit Bull, giving me hands-on experience with daily care, routines, and affection. I truly love being around dogs and look forward to having a home full of happy pups after I finish college. As a full time student, I’m able to dedicate my weekends to giving your pup plenty of love, attention, and care. I’m also happy to help with check-ins or walks during the week when our schedules align. I’m very flexible, and caring for dogs never feels like a chore to me, it’s something I truly enjoy and am always glad to fit into my routine when I can. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and can stick to their normal routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, and house rules. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, while also keeping their space clean and safe. I always keep owners updated so they can feel at ease while they’re away.
About: I am a married mother with a 14 year old daughter and a 17 year old son. I also have 2 cats and a sweet 8 year old pit mix. Animals and animal rescue are my passion and I have been watching friends' and neighbors' dogs in my home for years. I have a fenced in backyard and my cats and dog are good with dogs. I would be willing to host dogs for over night stays, weekends or week-long vacations. Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs since I was born! My mother is a hopeless dog rescuer just like me and I have always had multiple dogs in my home. Meet my pets I have 2 cats and 1 dog About my yard My back yard is completely fenced in. There is a long flat grassy area and a big hilly area for them to run. My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering oral medications. I currently work from home most of the time so I will be around to make sure your dog gets lots of attention and time. I have a fenced in backyard and a friendly, playful dog to keep your dog company. My children are older and really good with dogs.
“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 owned and taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I have also managed dogs with severe anxiety and certain health issues. I am a college student so until May I am limited to weekends. After May, I will be available workdays and weekends during the day and at night. I have confident skills in understanding dog and cat language from past experiences. I am also great at handling and crating dogs at their own comfort level.
About: I grew up with pets (both cats and dogs) and have always loved being around and caring for animals. I worked as an animal care associate at the Humane Society of Chittenden County in Burlington, VT, where I learned safe handling techniques, gained medical knowledge, and cared for a wide variety of breeds and behavioral cases. I have extensive experience with cats, dogs, and smallies of all shapes and sizes and would love to help care for yours. I have a flexible schedule which leaves me plenty of time to walk and play with fur babies. I do have a part time job so I will need to leave occasionally when I am housesitting. I also don't mind commuting to care for an animal. I live in a lovely neighborhood for walking and am also able to drive dogs to nearby parks and hiking trails to play and exercise. I have a cat at home who dislikes other animals so I would only be able to provide care at a client's home.
“Shaina was absolutely fantastic with taking care of our cat while we were away. Very responsive whenever I had questions or comments and super detailed in all the notes about each visit. We got lots of videos and photos of our boy getting all the pets and play time as well. She went the extra mile to care for him as if he was her own and it made me feel completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future. Thank you again Shaina, you are the best! 😊”
“Abigail was awesome and I’m so happy my kitties loved her as much as she loved them. My shy one even came out to play which is a big deal!! Very responsive when I had random things come up and was very personable as well. Will definitely be using 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!🐾”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - McKees Rocks
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.
Taylor is wonderful! This was the third time we’ve had her come for drop in visits with our pup, Reese, and each time we have been so happy with how well she cares for our girl. Reese loves going for walks and Taylor takes her for a long walk during each drop in. We have a very anxious pup and Taylor is so patient with her. We will always use Taylor’s services for our pup.
Katelyn helped me tremendously when my initial sitter plans feel through. Despite the short turn around, she took the time for a meet & greet, and my dogs really took a liking to her! She sent updates for each visit, letting me know how they were doing. Would absolutely recommend!
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.

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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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 .
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 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.
