“Tommy is the best cat sitter I have ever had. I used to have so much anxiety leaving the cats and I just don't have that when Tommy is on job. He sends photos and leaves notes and stays to play with our kitty boys. I can tell that they are super comfortable with him and have so much fun while we are gone. Thank you Tommy!!”
“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!”
“TL;DR, Brandon is great! He dropped in twice daily to feed, water, and play with our two cats (and scoop the litter) while we were abroad. He did a great job of making sure they had all the essentials, plus some TLC. Our more skittish cat surprised us and by the end of it we were getting pics of the cat in his lap. We looked forward to the updates and pictures throughout our trip and overall just had a big weight lifted to know they were in good hands.”
About: I provide dependable, compassionate care and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to following each pet’s routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. Whether caring for energetic puppies, adult pets, or senior animals who need extra attention, I focus on providing reliable, loving care and keeping owners updated for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I make time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need. I stay organized and dependable, so I can consistently follow each pet’s schedule and provide reliable care throughout the week, including weekends when needed. When caring for pets, I focus on providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s regular routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring their pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I also keep owners updated so they can feel confident that their pets are well cared for while they are away.
“Chelsea was amazing! She treated our senior dog with such love. She was on time and she shared great pics of Tucker enjoying Chelsea’s visit. She is trustworthy and I hope to use her services again in the future. Thank you, Chelsea, for looking after our little man while we couldn’t. 💛”
“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'm from PR, and I've been a dog rescuer since 2011. I have tons of experience caring for animals and giving them the love and treatment that they deserve. I love what I do. I retire and moved to Pittsburgh on February, 2023. It makes me a perfect match for your doggy. I will treat them as if they were mine. NO cages. I have a fenced runner connected to the pets' room that allows them to safely go in and out whenever they want. You can bring their bed or any special toys. I foster rescued dogs from PR that came to Pittsburgh looking for a second chance of life, and the money earn through Rover is used to cover their health and traveling expenses. I work from home, and my office is in the room where they will spend their stay, so they will be with me most of the day, and they will be able to play with my own dogs under supervision. If they are potty trained and well behaved, they will have permission to access all the house. To be able to satisfy you pup's needs, I will ask you to write down your special instructions and promise I will follow them as written. You will receive a lot of daily pictures of your furry friends.
“Maria was amazing from the start for us! She agreed to take care of our babies last minute the day before we left for our trip! She came and loved them like they were her own and kept us updated on everything! She was kind enough to grab our packages for us too! We had no worries while being away knowing she was caring for our baby doggies 🩶”
About: I have always been a dog lover at heart! My family has 7 dogs of our own, both big and small. I am no stranger to what it takes to take care of your furry companion! I am currently looking for a full-time job outside of Rover, so I am available almost everyday! I prefer to be contacted 2 days in advance for visits. A someone who has been around pets their whole life, I pay very close attention to detail. I cater to you and your pets needs by asking questions and going above and beyond.
About: I have had dogs in my household since I was a baby. I moved to pittsburgh in 2021, and before that was living with my parents who had four dogs! Right now, I have 3 cats. I love to dogsit and spend time with other people's babies! I have experience in dog sitting, and have spent some time working in dog daycare/boarding. I am currently not working a typical job so I am available 7 days a week most weeks and can spend all of my time with your pet if needed! I am dedicated to keeping your pets safe and happy by keeping a close eye on them and making sure that they are loved and cared for.
About: My name is Amanda, I’m thirty nine and child less so that means more time for dogs! I recently lost my senior bulldog Junior so Im new to this site but figured it would be a good idea to try and fill my time when i’m not at work since all my free time was spent with him. I work full time in the evenings so morning/afternoon walks and/or drop ins are ideal. I am also flexible on my off days which are during the weekdays. Love to take walks and/or keep your dog company while you work or have plans for the day. If you are taking a trip or a vacation; I’m open to stay with your pet at their own house if that’s where they feel most comfortable. The only stipulation is that I will still be working my full time job which is evening hours. So if your dog can be alone for 8 hours- I’d love to be able help you out.
“Savannah was super communicative and . I could tell she was really passionate about the work and knew my pets (a dog and a cat) would be in good hands while I was away. Would absolutely recommend her as a pet-sitter to others.”
About: I have not had any professional experience or job taking care of pets, but I’ve taken care of my 2 dogs for the last 5 years. I set my availability for specific dates due to either school and/or my job. Outside of these dates I’m free to take care of your adorable pets. I will care for them by making sure they have food and water, taking them on walks, playing with them, and I will make sure your house is safe and locked after.

This is the second time Laurel has watched our cats for us, and as long as she’s available, she’s who we will always go to! Laurel clearly cares for our animals when we’re away, and does the extra little things too. She peeped that we had a thirsty plant and gave it some water during her check in too!
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.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Plum on Rover is $17.1 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,598 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Plum. 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 Plum 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 Plum. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 93% 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.
