First time using Kaitlyn. Did a drop in for my 3 dogs. All went perfectly. She was careful to understand instructions, arrived on time. Will definitely use again. Already booked her for an overnight, in fact. Glad we found her!

About: Hi Pittsburgh! Just getting my rover account active again now that my partner works from home! We are a pet sitting duo/making sure there is someone with your furry friend all day! Booking with us means excellent service & cleanly people. & someone you can trust with your babies!! we are able to spend all day & night with them so they don’t need to be left alone for longer than an hour or two at a time. I know how hard it is to leave ur pets so i understand the care they need when their favorite humans are gone. My lack of reviews is because I havent had alot of sits on rover I usually book from word of mouth. Lets set up a meet and greet so you can get to know us & we can get to know ur furry friends 🫶🏼 I have a very open schedule and want to spend my days with your pets! I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals Depends on the client’s situation! I can care for pets in my home! if your pet doesnt get along with other dogs thats no problem my dogs stay with my dad while im pet boarding.

About: I have grown up with many dogs, little and big. From taking them walks, cleaning the poop, and even just snuggles. I have a dog now who is just 4 yrs old. I love training her to do new tricks as she grows. (She can give hugs!) I worked at a Doggy/Cat boarding/Day care and loved spending time with them to build trust. I love helping the dogs and cats meet their needs and care as if they are my own until their own family will again. I am able to work through anytime on the week days. Start at 7am-9pm on the weekends. I can adapt to times and planning, even on short notice (shortest as a day before). I am able to work through handing dogs at your house as you want/need. Even cleaning through cages, vacuum, pick up poop, straight up toys. At the same time, your pet will be loved, fed/hydrated, play through the day, and all needs and/or wants.

About: I’ve worked at shelters, owned various animals but mostly cats and dogs. I promise your fur friend is in good paws when it comes to me. I have an extremely flexible schedule and open availability. I can work around you and your fur friends schedule just let me know your needs. Clients home, I have various dogs cats at my house and I think I’d be better suited caring for a pet in their home environment.

Jess was so responsive and helpful and kind. Our puppy needed special care after surgery, and medication too, as well as removal and replacement of his e dollar so he could eat and drink. She did an amazing job, and kept me informed. We really needed help and she came through. Would 💯 recommend. Thank you Jessica!

About: I have taken care of my friends dogs for multiple nights in a row while her and her family were on vacation. Done this multiple times. I am part time. I am home from school in the summer so I can only provide some of these services right now. But I usually don’t have to work until 4pm. I have 6 cats and they are all pretty chill. Just the usual feeding and cleaning the litter box. I also love to cuddle so they are definitely loved.

About: I have four years of hands on experience as a kennel technician, caring for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. I specialize in maintaining clean, safe environments, providing enrichment, and offering plenty of love and attention. I’m confident handling puppies, senior pets, and administering basic medications, ensuring every pet feels comfortable and cared for while their family is away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine as I currently work as a Lead Kennel Technician. I dedicate mornings and evenings to feeding, walking, and engaging with pets, and I am available for pet sitting and drop-in visits during my off days /hours. I enjoy spending quality time with animals every day. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I create a calm, welcoming environment and follow any specific instructions provided by pet parents. In a client’s home, I ensure pets remain in familiar surroundings and maintain their routines. If pets are in my care, I provide secure spaces, enrichment activities, and close supervision to make sure they are happy and safe.

About: *Currently offering a special rate for new clients at just $35 per day/night! 🐾 Many of my clients have become friends, and their pups’ unique quirks always keep our household laughing. Whether it’s a one-time visit or recurring stays, I’m here to give them plenty of love and send you the cutest updates along the way 🥰. As a pet mama myself, I know how important peace of mind is while you’re away. We baby ours (big time), and we’ll baby yours too… silly voices and all! 📍 Location – I'm about 25-30 minutes from Verona (it's listed as my location for visibility purposes), but we have clients from all over. I also offer flexible pick-ups/drop-offs to make things easy (if needed). 🐶 Routine: I work from home so I am always here and available to care for him/her. They will be very well loved! We especially enjoy going for walks and playing in the yard. As I mentioned, I'll keep you updated throughout the stay with photos, and other updates. If I'm unsure about anything, I will absolutely reach out and ask you!

About: I've cared for dogs since I was young and have handled dogs both large and small. I've cared for cats since 2019, I am newer to them technically, but I love how different they can be. I run my own business, so making my own hours allows me a lot of wiggle room on doing check-ins or rearranging my day to allow for walks. My home is a temple to good vibes and my happy lil buddies (Sprout and Tansy) get along with everyone they've met so far.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life! With the occasional rabbit or fish. I have two dogs of my own now, Bo-Jack and Moose and my love for animals has only grown! I love helping other people care for their pets (aka their family💜) when they need a helping hand! I have house sit, walked, and cared for both dogs and cats for over 10 years. I am a teacher so I have summers off! I am free almost all day everyday until mid to late August and then I will be free in the evenings and on weekends once school starts! When caring for pets in the clients home I am sure that when I leave it looks like I was never there! (Other than a happier pet of course). I triple check all locks and anything that needs to be cleaned up and/or put away.

Crystal has been our pet sitter for more than a year. She cares for our slightly difficult cat and our freshwater and saltwater fish. She gives our cat lots of kind attention. She observes our cat's health and can medicate her as needed. Crystal gives clear updates with each visit. She arrives for each visit as scheduled and responds quickly to each message. Our pets, our home, and even our plants are in perfect order when we return home. Crystal is an excellent pet sitter!

About: I’ve cared for dogs all my life, and I have lots of experience with big breeds as I’ve owned three Newfoundlands and a Leonberger. I also have some experience with elderly dogs. I have assisted in training all the dogs I’ve owned, and most importantly, I love all animals! I’m a college student home for the summer, so I’ve gotten plenty of time to spend time with your doggy. I’m less available early in the day (6–9AM), but from 9AM onward I’m at the disposal of your puppy. :) I’m quite good with crate training, as well as dogs that are a bit more stubborn. I am comfortable staying with them as long or as short as needed. I also have a lot of experience walking dogs that require prong collars or harnesses.

Savannah was sweet, respectful, and attentive to my old cat Simba. She came twice as day as requested and kept me updated with lots of photos and videos while I was away. I felt very comfortable knowing I had her taking care of my sweet boy. Will definitely book with Savannah for any future catsitting I will need!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Cassandra! Recently, a storm hit our area — not exactly ideal conditions for anyone. But without hesitation, she went above and beyond her role and helped clean up before carrying on with caring for Harvey. That kind of thoughtfulness and initiative is incredibly rare. She didn't have to do that — but she did it anyway, and it meant the world to me. It's clear she genuinely cares. So If you're looking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, and goes the extra mile (literally and figuratively), look no further. Thanks Cass :)

Yasmeen was very communicative during drop ins and even went out of her way to coerce my scared dog out from under the bed to go potty. She sent a lot of update photos and made the time away from my dogs feel more comfortable with her care.

When Suzanna came up to meet Tugsley for a meet and greet, he immediately stayed by her side. That eased any concern I had. Suzanna was a great sitter while I was traveling and I will definitely use her again. She gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was loved and being cared for while I was away.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - New Kensington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in New Kensington on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 2,468 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across New Kensington. 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 New Kensington 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 New Kensington 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 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.

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

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Kensington. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% can help with daily exercise

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.

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.
