“Gary was great! He visited before our trip to meet the cats and he immediately established a warm rapport with our cats. It’s true that animals sense humans who care. They liked him from the start. He was reliable and sent photos of our fur babies daily which always made me smile and feel comforted that they were being well attended to. I highly recommend Gary as a top pet sitter”
“Markie took care of my kitties for about a week while I was travelling. She was awesome! Kept me updated with photos and messages. Very professional and I would hire her again.”
“I don’t think there are enough words to do justice for the amount of appreciation I have for Erin. Erin not only took this booking the day before I needed her due to a last minute cancel by another rover user, she also extended the time we needed her for due to medical emergencies. She went over and beyond for our dogs, especially considering she had to keep them separate the entire time and one of the dogs is not potty trained yet. She even washed the rags we provided her to be able to clean the puppies cage when she went to the bathroom! I think it goes without saying that Erin is an extremely reliable dog sitter, our dogs were very happy when we got home and appear to be kept for very well. She sent us a lot of photos and videos which our son looked forward to seeing everyday, and she kept us up to date on how the dogs were doing! I would highly recommend Erin as a dog sitter, you can tell she really loves animals!”
“Thanks Kristi for the lovely photos and visiting my girlies!! I appreciate you caring for them and being so cat savvy with their high maintenance moods! I am glad to have you as a trusted sitter to know their needs are met when I’m not able to.”
“We just got back from a week-long road trip and honestly, the best part was not worrying about our dogs the entire time. Cailynn took care of Jasper and Gordon like they were her own. Two small dogs with two very different personalities is not always an easy ask, and she handled it effortlessly. We got regular photo updates that made the whole family smile, especially our girls, who checked for new pictures every morning. Everything was clean and in order when we got home, and both dogs were relaxed and clearly well cared for — no anxious behavior, no adjustment period, just happy pups. Communication was easy from the start, scheduling was flexible, and she followed our feeding and walk routine exactly as we left it. We'll absolutely be booking again for our next trip and recommend her to anyone in the area without hesitation.”
“Kaylah was a wonderful kitty sitter! We were so happy to have her. She refilled the feeders and emptied the litter box even when I told her originally she wouldn't have to. The kitties were very well cared for!”
“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.”
About: I have trained my pets well, I will care and make sure they get the things they need. I want to leave your best friends in the best hands. I have random school hours near my home. I am available mostly evenings and weekends and even most mornings I can check on the animals. We have a dog that could keep your animal company, we also have done up basement if your pet prefers to be alone. We have an open back yard, so we'll just keep a leash on the pet when outside.
About: I love dogs and grew up with them! Though I don't have the space for them now, I've been missing some puppy playtime! Both of my parents are vets as well, so I'm also pretty well versed in all things pet care! I do work full-time, but a lot of my job can be done from home depending on the amount of notice I have before discussing that with my boss. That being said my weekends are pretty open as well as the occasional monday. I typically work from home every other monday! I love all animals! Growing up I had 2 dogs and then foster failed 2 cats! Those 2 cats currently live with my parents, but I'm bringing them up here when I move into my own place. Both of my roommates also have cats!
“This was our first time using Rover and we were very pleased with Melissa. We have 2 large 100 lb. Dogs and they seemed quite happy. We will definitely book with Melissa again.”
“Sheena has always been so great with both our dogs! Our dog Jake has trouble getting along with some people but she took the time to come have a little meet and greet with him before we left for our trip and he absolutely loved her! She is extremely reliable and gives regular updates. Absolutely recommend!”
“While our family was away Sarah took excellent care of our dogs. It was a comfort knowing that our dogs were in good hands. Thank you for taking such good care of them.”
About: My partner Jack and I love caring for pets! Both of us have been caretakers for pets practically our whole lives, including senior pets and pets with special needs, in addition to small animals like rodents and birds. Whoever you need help with, we’re more than capable. We are so excited to get to know your pets. With us, your pets will get all the attention and exercise they need during your busy day. We are both very attentive to your pets needs and do our best to make them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. We know just how important your companion is to you, so safety is taken into consideration at all times. We keep dogs on leashes at all times when letting them go outside. I work as a barista at a coffee shop and Jack is an employee at Pitt. Together our schedules allow us to have at least 1 person home for most of the day. On rare occasions when neither of us are home, at most we are away for 3-4 hours. We have a large yard with a lead and 2 cats. Our house is moderately sized, with room for playing and relaxing. We are attentive to feeding schedules and potty breaks.
“Lia was extremely friendly and caring about my dogs. She was very trustworthy and thorough. She made sure to post lots of pictures to show how the doggos were doing. 100% can recommend Lia for anyone who may be a little hesitant to have anyone take care of their dogs.”
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: My love for dogs is unmatched! I’m a junior in college who absolutely adores dogs and also happens to want to make money for tuition😂 For the summer : *for house sitting, Im available every day but on weekdays I would need to leave from 4:30-7 to go to work. Mon-Thurs: any time up until 3:30pm or after 7pm Fri, Sat, Sun : free all day I am super flexible! During the summer I have a very open schedule - so we can work around it more. Once I start school again I’ll update my availability! I will treat your animals with the care, love, and respect they deserve. Everything I do, I put 110% into, and I’ll make sure your pups feel loved! I always make sure to check if there’s ever notes from the client, get the important things done (like meds, food, necessary walks/bathroom) and then be able to focus on playtime or whatever your pup wants!

As usual Gary provided the best care for our 17 year old cat while we were away. He provided fantastic photos so I knew she was receiving love and care while we were away. Gary really helps you to further enjoy your vacation because you know your pet is in good hands. It's always an easy decision to choose Gary as our pet sitter.
Jessica is a friend you didn't know you had! She made everything smooth and easy. She cated for my cats as if they were her own. Not even the winter storm of the decade kept her away. And she even cleared a path to my house so when I got home after my trip, I wasnt snowed out. She took great pictures and amazing updates. always quick to respond, a very caring person. Hands down best sitter I've had. I couldn't thank her enough. Took away all the stress I would of had during my trip.
Kelly is awesome and very attentive to our critters. She communicated well when our one kitty had some issues with her pajamas (over grooming) and needed changing from soiling due to litter use and put her in her cone. She noticed our fish tank and the frogs had passed (from change of environment and water before we left, not her fault). She spent good social time with the kitties and was very nice to work with. I will hire her again! Thank you Kelly!
Kristi did a fabulous job caring for my cats over the holiday. As always, she is great at confirming her availability and scheduling visits. When I forgot something, Kristi called to clarify instructions which I super appreciate!! Thanks Kristi! My cats enjoy Kristi’s visits, they can sometimes be sassy when I’m not around but Kristi has great cat intelligence, takes photos and I always return to happy yet clingy kitties.

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 July 2026, there are 2,660 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across McKeesport. 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 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.
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.
