“Mary was wonderful at helping us with a last-ish minute drop in. She offered to do a meet and greet on short notice and her communication was great. We plan on using her again!!”
“Raquel’s is wonderful with my boys. She was on time and sent several pictures. Even with the rain she was able to get Moose out. Thank you so much. I know the boys will enjoy another visit.”
“Sarah is incredible! Our cat is always a little hesitant to meet new people but warms up after a while and Sarah is so patient and sweet with our cat, they have become quick friends. Would highly recommend to anyone!!”
“Michaels the best! He’s helped us multiple times with overnight stays & quick drop ins. Our very selective dog & our shy cat both love him. He went above & beyond when we were away during a big snow storm & couldn’t get home to our pets. He cleared a pathway for our dog to go outside, cleared snow away from vents attached to our home & still managed to keep our pets active & exercised in the frigid temps. Everyone needs a Michael for their pets!”
“Jenna is awesome! We hired her for a drop-in visit for our two dogs, and she followed our instructions perfectly. I felt so relieved to know they were in capable hands! We will be hiring Jenna again!!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 7 and I have taken increased responsibility over those years: feeding them, walking them, and watching them while my parents are out of town. I’ve dealt with training puppies: like walking on the leash, teaching simple tricks, and house training them. I’ve taken care of one dog through her end-of-life: including giving medicine, and dealing with bleeding and bladder control issues. I’m open seven days a week during normal day time hours. I’m willing to walk dogs or visit them in home. I have my own transportation if needed. I would walk the dogs in their neighbourhood or a local park. I’m willing to visit the home to play or help train the dog.
“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 :)”
“Becky provided drop in visits daily for our two kitties. Becky is cognizant to look for issues and quickly alerted us of issues with our older cat. She called us asking how to proceed. Thank you so much for keeping our babies. Will book you again!”
About: ive taken care of dogs my whole life, walking, feeding, cleaning up after them. Love building relationships with fur babies. Caring Sitter Who Will Love Your Pup Like My Own. Pet care fits into my weekly routine very well, im an online college student who is just trying to make extra money. Im very flexible and have all the time in the world to hangout with your furry babies while i'm studying. I make sure pets get all the attention they need, make sure food and water bowls are full, and that their yard is clean to use the bathroom!!
“Kaitlyn was an amazing pet sitter for our 120 pound great pyr/ GSD mix! While our dog can be a bit tough meeting new people, Kaitlyn dove right in and provided regular check ins, potty breaks, and playtime for our boy. Would highly recommend!”
“Annette is very warm and kind. My older dog is usually a little slow to warm up these days but he took to her right away during our meet and greet. She dropped in as discussed, shared photos and even brought a package in the house for me! Thank you Annette! Highly recommend!”
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’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since/ I was 16 Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe and gave meds to their pets... I’m available full time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays at 9am Routines ensure a dog eats on a schedule that supports their metabolism and healthy digestion. A daily schedule also helps with potty training and keeps a dog “regular.” Plus, daily physical activity and playtime support a dog’s physical health. In terms of mental and emotional health, a repeatable schedule lends a sense of security from knowing what to expect. If you leave the home, your dog knows you’ll return. If the food bowl is empty, the dog knows more food will be in the bowl at a certain time of day Your dog’s playtime and bathroom habits remind you to get up and move or to take work breaks. Good sleep habits for your dog mean YOU will sleep better—without any middle-of-the-night, wet-nosed wake-up calls. All that quality time together is also great for relieving stress—not to mention the special bond and friendship is one of the best things about owning a dog in the first place.
“Kathryn was great with our cats (who warmed up to her faster than their usual), communicated super well, and was fastidious about care and cleaning. Would love to work with her again!”

Raquelle was great! I haven’t left my cats alone before and I was so nervous for the few days leading up to my trip. Once she sent me pictures of my cats playing with her and letting her pet them (my one cat doesn’t go near anyone) I was able to relax on my trip. It was such a relief!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in New Kensington on Rover is $19.98 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 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 August 2026, there are 2,560 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.
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.
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.
