“Cassandra was WONDERFUL! My cats were happy when I got home, but I could tell that they were lovingly cared for. Cassandra sent me pictures every day and messaged me to see if there was anything else that she could do for me. The house was immaculate when I came home and the sheets were washed. I would HIGHLY recommend this lovely caring young lady!”
About: I have never worked in a professional animal care environment, however, I have taken care of pets for many years, domesticated and feral. I have rescued many cats & dogs, either kept for my family or found a family for them. I have a special love for all animals, even the feisty ones! I understand there are boundaries and each animal comes with different needs and requirements, even if its pretending to eat so they will eat. Haha. I have experience with many different breeds of dogs & cats, although I still do ask to provide as many details as possible to ensure their specific needs are met. I currently have one cat & 2 bearded dragons so I have experience with some reptiles as well. I have trained a few dogs with basic tricks such as sit, stay & rollover with treats as rewards. I am the go to for many friends, families & neighbors when it comes to them needing someone to care for their pet while they are away. I am capable of feeding, cleaning, walking & spending time with them. I am currently working part time and always on the move! I can care for your pet early mornings, whether it be a feeding or a walk in the afternoon and possible evening drop in. I have to be home before 8 though or kitty will be furious. I will be unable to bring your pets into my own home however, I would be willing to take them for a walk or a RIDE! To the P.A.R.K, based on discussion and needs. I can care for your pet in your home whether that be feeding, playing with toys, exercise in the yard or going for a leashed walk to sniff every bush. I am fragrance free as I know some fragrance bothers many pets. I do understand many animals are based on trust & boundaries which I am willing to take the time to develop that with them.
About: I have over four years of experience working with dogs and cats as a veterinary assistant. I am well trained on animal behavior, health, administering any medications, and much more. I am currently in school part time. I have classes Tuesday’s and Thursday’s with breaks in between so I can come let them out. I am almost always free any other day of the week. I will listen to your animals needs the best I can! I will administer any medications, feed and water them, and play as much as they want. I will also make sure to clean the yard and/or litter box regularly. I can also do an ear cleaning, teeth brushing, a brush, bath, or a nail trim!
“We hired Erin to care for our three-year-old tuxedo cat, Lilly, for six nights. As first-time clients, we appreciated how regularly she kept us informed. She often shared photos and videos, and her strong communication skills made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Although she works primarily as a dog sitter, it was clear that she and Lilly quickly bonded - the photos showed the feeling was mutual. Erin also helped with a few household tasks, including setting out the garbage and watering our plants while we were gone. We returned to a tidy, well-kept home and a happy, well cared for cat. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire Erin again. In fact, we think Lilly already misses her. Thank you, Erin!”
“Amber is the best! She made sure my sweet baby was well taken care of! She has great communication and is always willing to do the best she can for your furry friends! I will definitely be booking her for my next trip!”
“Drew has watched our cat Reggie a few times now and has been wonderful! He always looks so happy to see her in her daily photos. She is respectful of our home and keeps it as tidy as we left it!”
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.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog. I’ve grown up around family pets and understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m available 24/7. I have 4 dogs at home and am willing to pet sit at any point of any day! I’m just getting started on rover and would love to get my name out there! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both personal and professional settings. I previously worked for a local groomer as a dog bather, where I became comfortable handling dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition, I regularly care for my family’s dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, spending time with them, and pet sitting when family members are away. I also help care for pets for extended family members, including my aunts and uncles, who trust me with their dogs while they travel or need extra help. I truly enjoy being around animals and am looking forward to expanding my services to help more pet owners feel confident their dogs are safe, cared for, and treated like family.
“Jessica was great with our Hazel! Hazel gets a bit nervous around new people, but Jessica took the time to make her as comfortable as possible. Thanks to Jessica we were able to enjoy a weekend away worry free!”

Robert knew how to administer eye ointment when I discovered our kitty needed them the day before our trip! He swung by that night to make sure he had all the info he needed, and assured me he’d done the same with his own cat. It was such a relief and allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation! We’re so lucky to have Robert as our go-to catsitter.
Siobhan was a wonderful sitter for my two kitties. She played with them daily, talked with them, fed them, and cared for them. I loved the photos that she sent daily as well. She was punctual, reliable and communicated wonderfully about the kitties daily, keeping me very well-informed. I appreciated so much her taking such great care of my kitties.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,076 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across New Brighton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
