“Katelyn did a great job checking in on our kitties while we were out of town! She sent photos of each one during her visits and texted us updates on their well being. We're already planning booking her for our next weekend away.”
“Amanda was amazing to my Ottie!! She went above and even cleaned my cats litter box haha! She definitely cares about my pets and always kept me updated!! Ottie is a very shy dog but warmed up to Amanda by day 2!! 5 stars!!”
“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.”
About: Hi! I’m Clementine (it won’t let me change my name haha) I’ve had dogs ever since I was baby. I grew up around them, and I’ve always felt a sort of connection with them. I have 3 dogs of my own currently, two of which are rescues, and one of which is epileptic and asthmatic, so I have experience in the field of dogs who need special care. I just graduated high school and I don’t plan on going to a university, so I will be free most of the time during the summer! Because I have dogs of my own that don’t mesh well with others, I’ll only be able to do visits and stays at your home to ensure the safety of your pets!
“Eronda was such a caring and loving person whit my maxis, I’m sure they loved to spend this time whit her. She send me updates and pictures everyday after a walk and I can say they were calm, pampered and very happy. Thank you so much Eronda, there’s no better feeling than to know your furry babies are safe and having some love ❤️.”
“Tiffany was amazing! I was going away on an international trip, and had plans change where I was going longer than originally expected. I needed to find someone to drop in on Rocco on short notice, and Tiffany was able to set up a meet & greet very quickly! She was also very sweet & kind, and took great photos of Rocco while I was away :) I would definitely book 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😊”
“Alexis was the best sitter we’ve used on this app! She was super communicative and took the best care of Millie with fun updates of her mornings and nights. Alexis even figured out a partial refund for her not being able to make it due to severe snow. I would 1000% recommend Alexis as a sitter and we will be absolutely be using her again!”
“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!! ☺️)”
“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!”
“We appreciate Kathleen being available on the holiday so we could spend time visiting family and not have to worry about Archie :-) she was on time and sent lots of pics and videos. Thanks Kathleen! Archie looks forward to seeing you on nye.”
“Disha was absolutely incredible! My wife and I were away for 10 days, and she took amazing care of our cat, Little John, who is truly our pride and joy. She stopped by every day, provided great updates, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Disha is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“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!!”
About: Before Rover I didn’t have much experience with dogs if I’m being honest. The only experience I had prior with a dog was a baby pitbull and that was for about a year. That being said, despite the lack of experience I had, I have gained more experience from caring for dogs on Rover. My love for animals in general is why I am open to continue learning. I will still provide the same love, care and affection for a dog as I would a cat. My daily and weekly routine is very open for pet care. I am currently on maternity leave so I have lots of availability throughout my days. I treat them like their family and not strangers or “just for the money type of thing”. If the client has special requests as far as how they would want their pet taken care of, I would follow those requests and update the clients along the way.
“Penny looks forward to Marias visits, it would be an impossible travel without Marias support. Maria is kind, patient, flexible and super communicative. It was a relief to have Maria watch Penny during our long trip.”
About: My name is Miranda, and I am an animal lover with previous pet sitting experience looking to help take care of your cute critter in your absence! I have extensive experience with cat ownership and pet sitting, including senior and medically complex felines. I also have some experience with pet sitting for dogs and other small pets, like birds and fish. If you are in the Pittsburgh area and are looking for someone kind, trustworthy, dedicated, and caring to look after your animal, I am here to help! :) I have very free availability at the moment, as I run my own business for work and make my own hours! Pet care is actually the crux of my personal daily routine. My own cute critter, my cat Flower, keeps me quite occupied at home, whether it's feeding her on schedule, giving her lots of playtime, or just snuggling up for some brushing. Rest assured, I'll treat your furry family member as if they were my own. I would love to have an introduction meeting with you, virtual or in-person, so we can discuss your pet's needs, preferences, and schedule! Every pet is different, and it is very important that I understand your cute critter's individual personality so I can give them the quality care they deserve. During the introductory meeting, I will be sure to ask specifics about diet and medication, as well, so that no changes are made to their regular routine. I work hard to be timely and courteous by keeping pet owners updated about their cute critters while away, and will always make sure to include some pictures for you to enjoy! I make sure that I am accessible around the clock in case any questions or concerns arise while you're away.
“mariah was absolutely wonderful! her kindness and patience meant everything to me! & she was so flexible & helped me out last minute! i am so thankful for her wonderful care of ralphie & her overall sweetness!!”
“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!🐾”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - McKees Rocks
Letting a stranger into your home is always unnerving, and trusting them with your fur babies can be genuinely scary. When you combine the two, it can feel like a recipe for disaster. However, Cara completely put our minds at ease. She provided daily drop-in visits for our two senior boys, Ezekiel and Garoche, and our young girl, Molly. Cara was meticulous, she kept Ezekiel’s medication on a strict schedule and ensured the litter boxes were scooped daily. The highlight for us, though, were the daily photos; seeing those happy faces was the perfect reassurance while we were away. When we returned from our two-week cruise, we were greeted by happy cats rather than 'grumpy' ones who felt neglected! We knew from our initial meet-and-greet that Cara was the right choice for our little treasures. We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again!
Lauren is wonderful and was so good taking care of my mom’s cats. We had to rehome them as my mom can no longer care for them due to illness. While she was recovering she stayed with me and we were both so comforted knowing Louie and Leo were being taken care of. Lauren was a life saver and I would highly recommend her!
Kinsey is great with pets as well as being responsive and responsible. couldn't be happier! She followed our cats’ feeding routine perfectly, and sent fun photo updates every day which gave us total peace of mind. We came home to a happy, relaxed pet and a spotless house. We will definitely book with her again
We booked Alexis for drop in visits for our 13 year old cat Chloe for a week. This is the first time we’ve booked outside of family or friends so we were a little nervous. After meeting Alexis I immediately felt comfortable. Her daily updates with pictures were great! And looking at the pictures, I could tell Chloe was happy and well taken care of. We would definitely book with Alexis 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.
We were very happy having Mamie (Mary) care for our two cats! She is a great communicator, particularly when it comes to letting you know how it's going with your pets. We have a cat who is recovering from an injury and we could tell from meeting Mamie - and later from her updates - that he was in good, attentive hands! She also had to play hide-and-seek a bit to keep up with our more timid cat, but she caught onto his patterns. We're glad we were able to book her and would highly recommend!
Dezerae was absolutely wonderful. It was my first time away from my Kitty, Olive and was a little skiddish about having a sitter watch her. It couldn't have worked out better. Dezerae came and met Olive beforehand, and we went over everything in preparation for my departure. She was punctual and communicated with me daily about Olive and how things were going. Olive seemed to really love her. I also received daily pictures and videos from Dezerae that were very comforting to see. I would certainly recommend her to pet sit and if I need to travel in the future, she'll be the first one I look for. Thank you, Dezerae!!
Jake is an outstanding pet sitter who consistently goes above and beyond. During his drop-in visits for my cats, he showed genuine care and concern when he couldn’t locate my shy kitty, patiently trying several approaches to make sure everything was okay. He was always courteous, professional, and highly communicative, providing thoughtful updates during each visit. I had complete peace of mind knowing my cats were in such capable hands. I highly recommend Jake and will continue to book him! — A Very Pleased Repeat Customer

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,687 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across McKees Rocks. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
