“Julianna helped us with our dog, usually several drop in visits per week for a few months. Julianna is responsive, trustworthy and was great with our dog. She was always on time and very communicative. She did a fantastic job and was very appreciated by our family! Thanks Julianna!”
About: I've been watching family, friends and neighbors dogs, cats, birds, rabbits and horses for over 20 years. I started taking care of fur babies full time in 2019 and absolutely love all the pups and parents I've been lucky enough to meet and keep relationships with. I do my best to help with any last minute vacation plans go more smoothly. I only watch ONE DOG in my home at a time (unless they live together) as I can monitor their food intake, their stools and give them one on one attention they love so much. That rule also includes any Meet and Greets, I will only schedule them on days I don't have a doggy guest. I've learned that it's way too much stress for all parties. I allow them on my furniture and will adjust to the specific dogs routine or training as directed. I made a special dog tag that says "Call my pet sitter Kristi if found" w/ my phone #. I put this on every dog I watch just in case you have an escape artist. I live alone in a duplex home on the main floor (my entrance is in backyard) with a patio and partially fenced in back yard (I will be putting a gate so it's fully fenced). I have a Maine Coon cat (Hashbrown) that is very chill and won't chase or try and play with your pup. If either her or your pup is uncomfortable with the other then Hashbrown can be moved to a separate area. I do this full time and try to make any appointments when I don't have a fur baby here. They will be spoiled and loved like my own while they're here. I have a fenced yard for quick early morning potties then typically 2 long walks a day. I send pics/video at least 2x/day so you know you fur baby is happy.
About: My name is Kayla. I have had dogs of all sizes around me my entire life. I have a graduate degree in social work from the University of Pittsburgh. I am empathetic and attentive to body language which will make me the best companion for your fur babies! I want to do this to test the waters to see if I would like my very own puppy. I would enjoy trying my hand at training puppies! I am a petite person and would do best with pets that are under 50lbs or well behaved. I work for the University of Pittsburgh doing research. I have a standard schedule 9-5 and currently work from home. In my free time I enjoy hiking, painting, reading, drinking IPAs, yoga, rock climbing, and being active. I want to put this nice weather to good use by spending time with your fur babies! I can’t wait to meet them! 🐶🐾
“Sydney took great care of our three cats while we were away for two weeks. I was really nervous leaving them behind but they were well taken care of and got comfortable with Sydney pretty quickly. Sydney sent lots of pictures and did a great job keeping us updated. I think the kitty gang would love to have her back anytime!”
“Zachary was fantastic! He completed drop in stops for our cat while we were out of town. He sent great updates and pictures during his drop ins. Next time we need a sitter for our cat, we will book with Zachary again.”
“Savannah gave me so much peace of mind when I was traveling for a few days and she watched my 2 cats. She came by prior to my trip so I could show her around and what needed to be done, and the cats took to her right away. Getting pictures and a little update every day was such a nice touch too. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Dave took excellent care of my dog. It was clear how genuinely caring and professional Dave is. He provided daily updates with photos. I will definitely be using his services again. Highly Recommend!!!”
“Beatriz was attentive and caring when she did drop-in visits for my cat. She want at or beyond expectations, and was extremely responsive in communication, looking out for everything. She did a great job and I am happy to rebook her in the future.”
“Megan came to my rescue and was available over the holiday. She took great care of my dog and kept me informed so I could enjoy time with my family. She is reliable and loved up on my dog. I will be using her in the future!”
“Heather is a five-star pet sitter! I was a little nervous when I was looking for my first pet sitter on Rover, but Heather was kind enough to take my booking request the last minute and took great care of my pets. She sent me lots of images and videos and took good care of the animals. Highly recommended.”
About: I grew up with all kinds of pets from birds to geckos! I have a lot of pet sitting experience and am super flexible with schedules and any of your pets needs! I have experience with pets that require daily medication as well. I work full time but I have only work 4 days a week and my work schedule is always changing allowing me to have flexibility with days and even times! I remember that when I am caring for someone else’s pet that I am in their pets territory and that I may be unfamiliar to them at first! I am always gentle with them and try to maintain a relaxing environment for each pet I care for. I always give them time to warm up to me as well and offer them lots of love!
“Jenna was great! She was punctual. Communicative. Caring. She sent pictures. She came over for a meet and greet. It’s clear that she is responsible and I will definitely be asking her to drop in on the dogs in the future!”
“Jessika was so nice, communicative and the best part is that Eevee loved her! (and you know how cats can be sometimes) Definitely we will use her services again. We recommend her 10/10 times!!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life so I definitely know the ins and outs to pet sitting/walking! I’m currently a fur mom to my own puppy of 8 months. His name is bandit and he’s my absolute world! 🥹 he keeps me company while I work from home and we always go on daily walks. I really enjoy that time we have together. I’d love to bring that energy elsewhere also and be able to walk other puppies who need it! 🥰 I work from home and have a pretty open/available schedule almost everyday after 1. Weekends I’m completely free and should be available if needed! 😊 I have my puppy on a schedule with eating, potty time, active time, and bed time. I know all of his needs and can adapt fast to others needs as well! I have a big yard with a long leash if needed.
“Becky was wonderful. She provided once a day care plus extended 30 minute time for our two cats while we were away on vacation for two weeks. Becky went above and beyond, even picked up some meds and administered pills to our elderly kitty. We definitely were blessed to have Becky take care of our fur babies when the need arises. Don’t hesitate to book Becky.”
About: Although I do not currently have pets of my own, I have always loved animals and have been the go-to pet sitter for friends and colleagues since moving back to Pittsburgh in 2019. I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from quick check-ins to longer stays. Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible and I can provide consistent care, attention, and updates while you are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and your home, so I try to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. Since I do not have pets of my own, I genuinely enjoy getting to care for other people’s pets like they are part of my extended family. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I can provide pet care during the day, in the evenings, and on weekends depending on the booking. Because I can work from different locations, I’m able to spend quality time with pets during house sitting stays and provide consistent check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, and updates. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable with their usual routine, space, food, toys, and schedule. I always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding, medication, walks, litter care, crate routines, and any house rules. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I prioritize communication, safety, and calm, attentive care. I’ll also send updates so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in McKeesport is $39 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
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.
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.
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 .
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.

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.
