“Olivia is awesome! She took care of my Maine Coons and two tabbies great!!! I’ll definitely be rebooking her! It was so nice to go out of town and enjoy the trip not worrying about my babies! ❤️”
About: I had numerous dogs growing up and currently have one of my own, Finley, a Goldendoodle; I adore looking after pets and others. Dogs of all energy levels are welcome as I have a large yard, great for playtime, and plenty of space to accommodate others. Plenty of experience with medicines and special needs animals, too. Routine is key with time management to make sure there adequate time for play and adventure. Every morning starts with a walk, and I typically take my own pet to the park twice a day. My home has an enclosed backyard with ample space to run around. When house/petsitting, I’ll always ensure pets are on a leash before exiting to run errands or go for a walk.
“Elizabeth is truly amazing!!! She has looked after our babies twice now and she does not disappoint. I always know my cats are in good hands with her. Great communication and always quick with responses. Thanks Elizabeth for everything ❤️”
About: One always wanted to have a dog of my own so taking care of other pets wood help me experience what I’ll need to know annd do when it’s the right time to have my own dog. I work early in the morning, after work I have nothing better to do besides take care of my family and my vehicles. I love to go to the park, travel, and go out to eat. I’m usually in the house in a safe and pleasant neighborhood, if I do go outside I’m either working, walking throughout the trail at our park or grabbing something to eat!. I rest assure everybody in my neighborhood doesn’t see me often only my neighbors. I honestly like it that way, it does protect us from what can possibly happen outside but I’m always protected and protective about everything!
“Ashlyn was great. She came 4x a week for 5-6 weeks when I was out of state. She stayed and played with my cat for a bit and didn't just feed, clean, and run. I will 100% use her again.”
About: I’ve been working with a variety of dogs of all different breeds for roughly 6 years via dog walking, dog sitting, etc! I love dogs of all kinds! I’m a doctoral student of occupational therapy, so most of my time is spent working via fieldwork and doing homework. I am free on Tuesdays & Thursdays for drop ins/walks, and on weekends for housesitting. I’m happy to help with any household needs specified during housesitting! Please leave me comprehensive instructions for caring for your pet(s), including meal details/times, walking schedule, etc.
“Lexy has been great with our two dogs and the dogs love seeing her. She sends great pictures after each visit and she makes us feel like our dogs are in good hands. We really appreciate Lexy and all she does for us and our dogs.”
“Teneisha did a wonderful job looking after my two cats. She is very professional and made me feel at ease knowing they were in good hands. She played with them, fed them, sent daily updates with pictures. Will definitely book again next time I’m away from home.”
“Amanda provided excellent care for my cat while I was away, with daily updates and photos. I highly recommend her. If I ever need a cat sitter in the future, I plan to rebook.”
“Our reluctant cat Robert is warming up to Lia. We appreciate the patience she has shown in letting him get more comfortable with her on his ow terms. River and Jack appreciate the extra love she gives them when she visits.”
“Rachel took great care of all 4 of my cats! She spent time with them and gave Jake his meds, no problem. She's got a great attitude and attention to detail. I'd definitely use her again.”
“Andrew was reliable and communicative for each visit. We got pictures of all of our pup’s activities and he managed our teething puppy. Will definitely come back to him in the future!”
About: I have been around dogs and other animals since I was an infant. My family has consistently taken care of dogs for over 30 years. I especially love training and taking dogs on enrichment activities. Pet care is a daily responsibility that requires singular attention on the animal with no multitasking. Animals need more than just food and water; they require attention and enrichment daily. Animal safety means thinking ahead and preparing. Each animal has specific needs that will allow them to thrive when met. It is important that an animal have its own space such as a crate or perch, and that they are supervised when on walks or in a new environment.
About: I have been taking care of my friends miniature american bulldog named Yoshi for around a month at a time for the past year whenever she allows me to take him because he is so sweet and I have the time to train and walk him. I also have a bike path right behind my house so Yoshi enjoys his walks and seeing people that can give him scratches and belly rubs. I have 2 Guinea pigs that stay caged and don’t enjoy any fun activities with me so I enjoy the excitement of a dog I work from home, I have a skin care business making natural soaps so I am always home and available to go on routines walks. I’m also a mason and teaching myself carpentry and the goal is to build luxury dog homes so if you’re happy to have your dog be a model for my dog homes then it will be greatly appreciated and I will make a fun activity out of it for us. I also keep a large box of milk bones for good doggies. I prefer to spend as much time possible doing whatever your furry bestie enjoys that makes them temporarily not miss you but I do have a small back yard with an in ground leash and easy access to look out my window and watch if there’s any dogs who enjoy sitting outside for long periods of time, otherwise there’s lots of attention given and plenty of fun walks. Yoshi also loves car rides if that’s something your pet also enjoys and we’re going to start being regulars at the dog park since everyone loves him there and he loves everyone right back. So if your dog has never experienced a dog park yoshi will gladly assist in making him or her comfortable
“Savannah was amazing with our three cats, going above and beyond at every turn. Before our trip she came by and spent some time to get to know our babies and let them get comfortable with her. During her visits she gave each of them the personalized attention they needed - be it play, cuddles, or quiet time away from their brothers - so that we returned to happy cats. The food and water were full on return, the litter box clean, Savannah even went above and beyond and swept up the litter outside their box. Will absolutely be calling on Savannah for our next trip - she’s the cat foster mom we never knew we needed.”
About: I recently relocated from Johnstown to McKeesport and am looking forward to meeting all the new pups in the area! I have been dog sitting for the past few years now and absolutely love it! My family has always had dogs since I can remember. I got my first dog, Ruby, named after the children’s show Max and Ruby, when I was 4 years old. I have loved caring for dogs ever since. Ruby is even still kicking at 18 years old! I now have a second dog, a 2 year old Husky who loves to play. I’ve trained many dogs, older and puppies since I can remember. I also have a lot of experience with elderly dogs, Ruby being a prime example. We go on walks often and I have basic dog training experience. I work part-time fully from home. I make my own schedule for work so I am completely flexible. The only time I ever leave the house is to take my dogs somewhere, dog park, hiking trail, etc. I am available every day and do same day bookings so feel free to reach out whenever you need! My dogs are very friendly and love other dogs. We also have 2 cats that play with our dogs as well. I have a fully fenced in yard to give your fur baby plenty of room to run around freely and play.
About: I’ve taken care of pets all my life. I’ve dog sat for neighbors from a young age. I now am a cat mom to a 5 year old boy named Blue! Blue is my first cat but I’ve been surrounded by cats all my life as well. I am very comfortable walking dogs, feeding, cleaning & administering medications if necessary! I know all pets have their own unique personalities and require different needs for a happy life and I am really flexible being able to make your pet as happier as possible! I am an experienced sitter with pets of my own, I am really flexible with my schedule so if you need anything special please feel free to reach out! All pets require different needs and meeting your pet first can help to reach those needs! I am comfortable with slow introductions if that is what is needed. Anything to make your pet feel safe is the most important!
About: I have not had any professional experience or job taking care of pets, but I’ve taken care of my 2 dogs for the last 5 years. I set my availability for specific dates due to either school and/or my job. Outside of these dates I’m free to take care of your adorable pets. I will care for them by making sure they have food and water, taking them on walks, playing with them, and I will make sure your house is safe and locked after.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a McKeesport 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 McKeesport 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.

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 McKeesport with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
