“Highly recommend Tiffany to take care of your fur babies!! She provided updates with photos and spent time playing with my cats during check-ins. My cats seemed very comfortable around her as well :) Thank you!!”
“AnaBeth did an excellent job watching my cat, Greta. She communicated frequently so I was up to date on how Greta was doing. Every visit included lots of pictures, which I loved! I came home to a happy kitty and a clean home. I will definitely be using AnaBeth for future pet-sitting :)”
About: Hi! I’m Ryan, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and other pets. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same attention, patience, and affection that I give my own. I currently share my home with a spoiled cat who runs the household, so I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy and dependable when you’re away. One of the biggest advantages I offer is flexibility. I work remotely, which allows me to provide daytime drop-in visits, quick check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and lots of attention throughout the day. I’m also available during evenings and weekends. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Safety, patience, and positive interactions are always my priorities. I carefully follow feeding, medication, and exercise instructions, and I provide regular updates and photos throughout each visit. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel comfortable, confident, and cared for.
“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.”
“Danielle was wonderful with Ellie our golden retriever and with communicating with us while we were away! I would definitely recommend her in the future! Great service :)”
“Natalie did a great job looking after Harry on short notice! Despite booking less than a week in advance, Natalie was even able to squeeze in a meet and greet the weekend before. Thank you!”
“Cam took such excellent care of my kitties! Great, thorough, timely, and hilarious updates. My cats were so chill when I got home, I seriously think they were like, wait a minute, where’s Cam, what are you doing here?? Gilly has a new best friend, and even Petunia, my cat with a shall we say ‘difficult’ personality, was warming up. I’d hire Cam again in a heartbeat!”
“Jackie was great with our pups! We’ve recently had a mobility issue with our one dog but she was understanding and was able to provide her medicine without any issues. She took our other pup out for a little walk each time in addition to taking them both outside for breaks. I could easily see how much fun our pups had with Jackie in the photos that she sent over!”
“Christy has been great. My dog has had stomach issues this week so I did not want to leave him alone the whole time I had work. She has done a great job dropping in with him. He is a very shy boy and he warmed up to her by the end of the 30 minutes :)”
“I booked Regan to help me with my new puppy. She was super accommodating to the fact that my puppy hadn’t learned to do walks yet. She tried multiple ways to make her more comfortable and is helping me get her adjusted. I’ve booked Regan for the next month! Love her!”
“Ally is great to hire to check in with your pets! She left the space clean, handled my cats’ needs well including oral medication applications, and provide provided pictures at the end of each visit. She is also flexible and responsive and I would highly recommend working with her!”
“Disha was absolutely incredible! My wife and I were away for 10 days, and she took amazing care of our cat, Little John, who is truly our pride and joy. She stopped by every day, provided great updates, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Disha is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Eronda was such a caring and loving person whit my maxis, I’m sure they loved to spend this time whit her. She send me updates and pictures everyday after a walk and I can say they were calm, pampered and very happy. Thank you so much Eronda, there’s no better feeling than to know your furry babies are safe and having some love ❤️.”
About: I grew up with pets (both cats and dogs) and have always loved being around and caring for animals. I worked as an animal care associate at the Humane Society of Chittenden County in Burlington, VT, where I learned safe handling techniques, gained medical knowledge, and cared for a wide variety of breeds and behavioral cases. I have extensive experience with cats, dogs, and smallies of all shapes and sizes and would love to help care for yours. I have a flexible schedule which leaves me plenty of time to walk and play with fur babies. I do have a part time job so I will need to leave occasionally when I am housesitting. I also don't mind commuting to care for an animal. I live in a lovely neighborhood for walking and am also able to drive dogs to nearby parks and hiking trails to play and exercise. I have a cat at home who dislikes other animals so I would only be able to provide care at a client's home.
“Anna was fantastic with my cat, Jack. She made sure I had daily updates and kept him entertained while I was away. I really appreciate how much care she put into her visits to ensure everything went well.”
“Maria was readily available for a last minute booking and did an incredible job! We video called to show her the lay of the land and my girls just loved her!”

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.
Anna pet sat for my two cats for a week and was absolutely incredible. She was very communicative and genuinely accountable, especially with regard to dispensing medication for my asthmatic cat. I'm so grateful for her and the care she showed towards my babies. I would recommend Anna to anyone who needs pet sitting services!
Cam was wonderful with my household of elderly men. Very good with communication and reaching out with any questions especially because my babies have some silly personality and quirks. I really appreciate that they reached out to check in, and kept me up to date on how they were doing while we were away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Pittsburgh on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,284 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pittsburgh. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
