“Abriana was wonderful with Suki. She arrived on time, was very personable, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving Suki in her care. She uploaded photos, kept me updated, and handled everything perfectly. I’m so grateful and would definitely book with her again.”
“Rebecca did such a good job taking care of my cat Liza! It was a bit of a last minute booking, but she had no issues doing a quick meet & greet. She was thorough, attentive, and sent lots of pictures!”
About: I’ve done dog walking and sitting plenty of times. I enjoy running with the dogs. I love all animals. I’ve learned about animal psychology. I worked at a zoo in Chicago for a summer. I used to pet sit in my neighborhood throughout high school. I am free most weekdays both morning and evening. I have another job with flexible hours so I can make almost any time work. I go running in the evening a few days a week. We have an apartment with a large cage that we can use if needed. We also have a commercial pet washing station in the building! I have lots of blankets for your furry friends. We have a projector that we can play Dog TV, nature scenes, etc. if they like. I will pay attention to the pets needs while not giving into them. I will do what is best for you and your pet. We have different size dog bowls and a handful of various toys.
“Jackie worked amazingly well with my Izzy cat. Izzy went immediately to Jackie upon meet & greet. I was very surprised since Izzy is usually shy or tends to swat new friends. Jackie was on time, followed feeding & litter instructions and treated Izzy with care & love. Im so relieved to have found her. Thank you again, Jackie Thank you Rover. Great site.”
“Wendy took good care of the kitty and was very communicative every step of the way. She followed instructions to a tee! Thank you for the peace of mind when I'm away!”
About: You'll never have to wonder how your pet is doing! I work in photo and video, so you'll get clear photos and updates every day, and I'll reach out right away if anything seems off. 📸 I've been pet sitting on Rover since 2022. I love senior dogs, I'm comfortable giving oral medication, and I sit for cats too. I keep a small client list so every pet gets real attention. Before any booking, we'll meet so I can learn your pet's routine and quirks, from feeding and walks to their favorite toys. Your pet stays on their normal schedule, just with a little extra love (and a lot of pictures). Your pet's routine comes first! I set my own schedule, so I plan my day around their feeding, walks, and downtime, and when I do step out, I time it for when they're most comfortable on their own. That flexibility also means I can usually fit drop-ins and walks in when your pet needs them. I'm great at reading pets. I can tell when they're stressed or not themselves, and I'll let you know right away so we can figure out together what helps. I'll follow your care instructions closely, so you can actually relax while you're away.
“Lucas took care of my cat twice while I was away this year. Not only did he clean up the kitty litter, and fed my cat, he also administered medicine to my cats ear for her hypothyroidism. Very reasonable rates, I would definitely use him again, thanks Lucas.”
About: As an enthusiastic marathon runner and power walker- exercising with hyper dogs is my absolute favorite thing in the world! I am a mom to one dog and two cats, and have walked dogs formally for many years. I’m a social worker by day and care deeply about people, families and pets! I work 8am to 4pm Monday to Friday. I am available on evenings and weekends for dog walking and pet sitting. Specific availability depends on distance and travel time. I am an enthusiastic pet parent! I have always had dogs and cats, and I have had the privilege of caring for my neighbor’s pets on and off for the last 15 years. I have experience caring for senior and medically fragile pets, as well as young and hyper pets that need exercise and stimulation. I care for all pets with the same diligence that I care for my own.
“Sydney is an amazing petsitter!! Accomdated a very last minute request, was super easy to coordinate with, and sent us pictures every day. Would highly recommend Sydney to anyone! ☺️”
“Ericka took great care of our cats while we were away and took a lot of pictures for us. I could tell our cat Barney had a great time and was in great hands!”
“Thank you for visiting with our kitties they were well cared for and so cool Nina popped out to visit. They hide . They are so happy when we came home. We will let you know when we are going to travel again.”
About: Hi my name is Julia, I am 25 years old living in Pittsburgh, PA. For all 25 years I have lived, I have been surrounded by animals. I grew up with three dogs, who I care for deeply. We also had a neighborhood cat who I really consider a part of the family! I have spent countless time caring for the pets of family members, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and even my hairdresser! I can confidently say that I have formed great bonds and a sense of trust with all pets I have watched! This care ranges from cats to dogs, senior to puppies (currently). I truly love animals and constantly want to be surrounded by them. Being a 25 year old in a city away from your family and pets can be tough, so I hope that this opportunity can help me while I await having my own cat one day (hopefully soon!) I currently work full-time, but I work primarily from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I typically go into the office just one day per week, and if I need to be there more often, it's usually only for a half day. My schedule can vary depending on work needs, but I have the flexibility to accommodate pet care throughout the day and will always communicate my availability clearly. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I take the time to follow your instructions closely and keep their schedule as consistent as possible. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, meals, and lots of love. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure during walks and outdoor time, and I always prioritize a safe, stress-free environment. I also believe communication is key. I'll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
“Sarah is by far my first choice when I need a pet sitter. I have used her services on several occasions. During that time, she stayed in communication with me, sent photos, kept my pet areas clean at home, and eliminated the stress of being away without my pet. Above all, Sarah is trustworthy and my pets love her. I would be happy to provide personal references upon request!”
“Cori was super responsive on short notice, generous with her time/updates, and snuggled our big cat like he was her own! Thanks so much for taking care of him while we were away!!”
“Becca did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was away! Booking was such a smooth process. She was on time every day, and she sent daily photos and videos. Would definitely book again.”
About: I have over 25 years of pet/house sitting experience. I started out in Los Angeles doing pet and house sitting as a full time job. I have local, national and international references. Feel free to ask any questions you might have. I work part time, from home, as a Virtual Assistant. I can work from anywhere and I make my own schedule, so your fur babies will have my full attention. I do not care for pets in my own home. I do not do boarding in my own home. I only care for pets in clients homes.
“We were away for just over three weeks. Kate came to take care of my 2 cats. She provided photos and full details of cat care daily. One cat has to take a pill and she reassured me that all was well at home. She also watered my indoor plants and took the used kitty litter to the curb on trash night. (So there was not an unliftable bag of litter to haul out upon return.). All interactions in person and text were great. My cats, including the shy one who gets the pill, really seemed to like her and interacted well with her.”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Pittsburgh is $20
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Pittsburgh
Kristin is an exceptional caregiver for our older timid little cat (Mia). Aside from carefully following all of our requests for feeding, maintenance, etc, Kristin takes the time to comfort Mia by talking to her and petting her if she can, which makes us feel better while we are away. She went above and beyond by doing four visits in two days, checking for mail, checking on the house for any issues, and anything we asked of her. Kristin is mature, reliable, caring, trustworthy, and very communicative. We couldn't ask for a better 'baby sitter' for Mia. We will definitely use her services again and we highly recommend Kristin....she's the best !
Tiffany was fantastic from beginning to end. Jane is pretty shy when it comes to new people, but Tiffany took her time each visit to lure Jane out to make sure she had some fun and treats. Tiffany was nothing but professional and friendly the entire time, she was so easy to work with and I look forward to booking with her again.
Booking with Alyx gives us absolute peace of mind our kitties are going to be well taken care of! Not only does she play with them during her visits but gives us a detailed update on how the cats are doing. Her pictures are always a great addition as we get to see the cats and how much fun they have with her.
Lara did an excellent job caring for my diabetic cat while I was away for three days. She came twice a day to administer insulin injections right on time, every 12 hours. The cat seemed very happy and well treated when I got back. The cat likes to be brushed, and Lara took the time to keep him well brushed.
Danielle is the best! My cat is a shy boy and she’s been very patient with him as well as making sure all his systems (food, water, litter) are in good shape. This is the second time I’ve hired her and she’s reliable, kind, and I trust her entirely with my cat!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Pittsburgh is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 426 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Pittsburgh. 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 86% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
