“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: I am a proud dog mom myself. And I treat every dog with the exact same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I currently work from 7am - 3pm on weekdays. I am fully available on weekends and overnights. After 3pm on weekdays I am fully available for drop ins and walks. I have a fenced in yard, and a Golden Retriever who is very friendly and well trained. I make sure there is always a water in my dogs bowl and I am on schedule with her feeding times.
“Jennifer was great with my two kitties! It was the longest I’d been away from them and she understood how tough that was for me. She left thorough notes after each visit updating me on how it went. She was very responsive anytime I contacted her about the visits!”
“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!”
“Keilah is a great pet sitter! I have an extremely shy and anxious cat and somehow she got him to come out and play a little and even got a photo of him giving her a kiss! I was shocked! I recommend her for any pet needs and will absolutely be going back to her.”

“Heather was so kind and upon meeting her, I instantly knew I wouldn’t have to worry while I was gone. She was very communicative and I know my boy had the best treatment.”
“Chelsea has done drop-in visits with my mini labradoodle for a number of months now and has done a wonderful job! She’s great with communication, my dog loves her SO much, and she lets me know when something seems off with my dog. AND she takes the cutest pictures on every walk with my dog! Chelsea is the first sitter I’ve dealt with on Rover and because of her good nature with my dog, the only one I’ve needed to reach out to!”
“Clareese took such great care of my cats Hiro and Miso while we were away! She gave great updates, was super friendly, and very flexible with everything. It made me feel so much better knowing they were in good hands. You can tell she really cares about the pets she watches. Will 100% book with her again!”

Whatever your pets needs are, I can accommodate. I am willing to take care of any type of pet, old or young, big or small.
“Zoe was fantastic and we would definitely love to have her sit for our cat Otto again. This was the first time since we adopted him that we had a sitter. He's a shy cat and I honestly expected him to hide 90% of the time but Zoe was patient and gentle in trying to befriend Otto. After just a day, he started to warm up and then quickly began to play with her and eat normally. She was attentive to our requests and direction and made sure to send the information we needed in her Rover reports along with pictures that eased our minds. We look forward to having Zoe watch over Otto again and highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Liz was the best! After having another sitter cancel on me at the last minute, Liz agreed to drop in on my cats twice a day for a week. She was punctual for every single visit which helped reduce my cats stress levels and they were well taken care of! I would absolutely book Liz again.”

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 :)
Holly was great! This was our first time leaving our puppy in the care of someone else, and we felt like we were in good hands with Holly! She watched our puppy for an hour while we were at a family gathering. She made sure our dog went outside for a bit, she played with her, and she made sure the dog felt safe and happy. Thanks, Holly!
My dog instantly connected with Aubra at our meet and greet! She provided a couple of drop-in visits and was very punctual. She kept me updated with great communication throughout, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I could tell my dog was comfortable and well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Aubra.
For a vacation where everything that could go wrong almost did, Kayli was the one reliable positive thing that we had to deal with through our planning and travels! Kayli was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and was super understanding and easy going while dealing with our pipes freezing while she stayed with our pets. I also think our pets behaved better for her than they do for us!! I was a little reluctant to use rover as we have always had friends stay with our pets but I am so happy to have found Kayli!
AJ was great. I reached out just a few days before we needed help, and even with the last-minute changes (including thinking I had to cancel, and then uncanceling), she was incredibly accommodating. She stopped by, let Vinny out to pee, gave him a treat, spent a little time with him, and made sure everything was locked up before leaving. Vinny was happy and well cared for!
As a dog “parent” I appreciated Iana’s professionalism - her courtesy, communication, and kindness. Our dog sometimes won’t leave his crate when someone new is in the home. Iana gently persisted, allowing him some “space” yet providing encouragement when needed, giving him the opportunity for going outside. Her pictures and texts kept us appraised of her visit. We would definitely hope to have her with us again!
Thank you Tyle!!! We know this was a really busy weekend for you and thank you so much for taking great care of our sweet Bailey and Teddy while we were away this weekend. Your notes and updates are always so appreciated. Hope you have a great week and we will be in touch as future trips come up.

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

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.
