About: I have lived with dogs my entire life and have been actively responsible for their care for the past five years. Growing up, my household consistently cared for up to ten dogs at a time, including working dogs, show dogs, and family pets. I have experience with dogs ranging from newborn puppies to seniors and from small breeds to dogs over 100 pounds. I have assisted with six successful litters from birth through early development, helping with monitoring, handling, and daily care of the puppies. I am comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, maintaining structured feeding routines, and supporting crate and potty training when appropriate. I have experience introducing young, non-aggressive dogs to others in a controlled setting. I also regularly care for senior dogs, including those with mobility challenges. Currently, I have one dog living with me full time. He is a 35-pound Mini Australian Shepherd who is neutered, fully vaccinated, and has graduated from service animal training. My goal is to provide calm, structured, and attentive care so dogs feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am currently a student at RMU and run my own photography business, so my schedule is great to give me time to play with your pups! I am typically home in the mornings and evenings, with breaks between classes during the day depending on the semester. I am available for boarding on the weekends at any time with weekdays being after 5pm everyday but Monday and Wednesday. When boarding, I do not leave dogs for extended periods without planning around their needs, and I make sure potty breaks and exercise are built into my schedule. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on structure, supervision, and a calm environment. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, regular potty breaks, and daily exercise appropriate to each dog, with regular visits to local dog parks. Pets are never left unattended with access to unsafe items, and I monitor interactions closely, especially during introductions, including the use of cameras while out of the house. I have experience managing multi-dog households and understand the importance of slow, controlled introductions. My own Mini Australian Shepherd is well-trained and calm indoors. When boarding dogs, I prioritize compatibility and supervision. For cats, I maintain clear separation and provide quiet, designated spaces so they feel secure and stress-free. I keep my living space clean, organized, and free of hazards. Water is always available, and I follow all owner instructions carefully, including dietary needs and medication administration. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the space as if it were my own. I follow feeding, walking, and care instructions exactly as provided, maintain cleanliness, and provide updates so owners feel confident and informed while they are away. I also run my own photography business, so I love capturing moments while pets are in my care and you are certain to get photos of your pet.

About: I’ve lived with cats my entire life and have cared for nine cats over the years, so understanding cats of all personalities comes very naturally to me. I genuinely enjoy caring for cats across the full range of temperaments—from social and playful to quiet and independent—and I approach every visit with calm attentiveness and respect for each cat’s individual style. I’m also very familiar with dogs and their care, having helped care for dogs since childhood. I’m comfortable with small, well-mannered adult dogs and focus on keeping visits safe, predictable, and low-stress. In addition to cats and dogs, I have experience caring for small animals, including a fire-bellied lizard, fish, and parakeets. I’m comfortable following specific care instructions and understand the importance of consistency and gentle handling for animals with specialized routines. During visits, I always provide updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel confident they’re being well cared for. My goal is to offer reliable, thoughtful care that helps pets feel secure and comfortable in their own homes while their people are away. Pet care fits into my routine in a structured and predictable way. On weekdays, I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks after work between 5:45–7:00 PM. On weekends, I’m available Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, which allows for more flexibility. I currently offer drop-in visits and dog walking, and I’m happy to do walks as long as weather conditions are safe. I do not offer overnight care. My schedule is consistent, and I’m careful to only accept bookings I can reliably and comfortably accommodate. All care takes place in the client’s home—I do not offer boarding, daycare, or in-home care at my residence. I follow written care instructions exactly and prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. For transparency, I occasionally bring my toddler with me on drop-in visits; for safety, pets and child are always kept separate, with no direct interaction. I do not introduce client pets to other people or animals. During each visit, I complete basic safety checks such as ensuring doors are secure, food and water needs are met, litter boxes or potty routines are handled, and the overall environment feels calm and safe. I communicate promptly if anything seems out of the ordinary and always provide updates so pet parents can feel confident their pets are well cared for.

About: Look no further for a responsible, loving companion for your pet. I love every animal as if it were my own. I have a senior small dog of my own, and before that I had experience walking and caring for my neighbors' dogs when I was younger. Outside of Rover, I have multiple clients I regularly house-sit for with pups of all ages/sizes. I've also volunteered with shelter dogs! I also have experience with other animals if required. In my home I have 3 wonderful cats as well as my dog! I've worked with rabbits, dogs, cats, turtles, and am eager to learn about anything else. My top passion is pets. My availability is flexible, but I prefer a heads up at least a week in advance to coordinate accordingly. I am also a trained groomer, so I have experience in all grooming aspects, dog handling, and dog body language. My own pup is reactive, so I am incredibly comfortable and confident in handling your pet if they have behavioral issues as well. DISCLAIMER: I require a meet and greet prior to any daycare stays in my home, for everyone's comfort. Everyone's safety is of the utmost importance, including your pets' and mine. While one of my cats is very elusive, the other loves dogs and so does my dog! I am great about fitting some care into my day even on shorter notice. My routine is usually just hanging out at home and popping out to grab a coffee a few times, so I'm available to your pet nearly 24/7! Please let me know any special care instructions! Unless otherwise stated, I always let pups out every couple of hours, feed once a day and always give fresh water. Some dogs prefer to be leashed when outside but others will go on their own so please notify me of your preference! My main priority is keeping your pet happy and safe.

“Katherine was fantastic! She’s extremely communicative when I really appreciated and loved. She was understanding that one of my cats was a little shy and might not come up to her. She offered to bring a churu as a friendship treat. She was great at providing updates and photos. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you so much!!”

About: **My Dog Care Experience 🐶🐾** Dogs have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember! My love for dogs began in second grade when I got my first dog, and that love has continued to grow ever since. I’m now the proud pet parent of my own dog of 7 years, who is very loved, spoiled, and pampered! I know firsthand that dogs are family, and they deserve to be treated with the same love, patience, and attention we give our own. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for and watching multiple dogs at a time. I’m comfortable providing attentive, reliable, and timely care while making sure each dog receives the attention they need. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, or sticking to a specific routine, I understand how important consistency and individualized care are for keeping dogs happy and comfortable. I know that leaving your furry family member with someone else requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing with their favorite toys, getting endless belly rubs, or simply relaxing with some company, I’m happy to make their time with me as enjoyable as possible! Your dog will be treated like family, with plenty of love, attention, and care! ❤️🐕 **Pet Care That Fits My Schedule 🐾** I currently have a busy weekday schedule, but I’m happy to dedicate my available time to caring for your furry family members! I’m available on weekends, Tuesdays after 6:00 PM, and Fridays after 5:00 PM. I strive to be reliable, punctual, and attentive to your pet’s needs, and I’m happy to coordinate in advance to find a time that works best for both of us. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care while ensuring your pet’s routine and comfort remain a priority! I provide attentive, loving, and dependable care tailored to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine. In my clients’ homes, I follow their instructions closely to maintain consistency with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and any other agreed-upon care needs. I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment while their owners are away. As a pet parent myself, I understand that pets are family! I have my own dog of seven years who is very loved and pampered, and I treat every pet in my care with that same level of attention and affection. I prioritize safety, patience, and communication with pet parents, including updates and photos so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands. My goal is to make sure every pet receives reliable, individualized care and plenty of love while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine.

“Cassandra was WONDERFUL! My cats were happy when I got home, but I could tell that they were lovingly cared for. Cassandra sent me pictures every day and messaged me to see if there was anything else that she could do for me. The house was immaculate when I came home and the sheets were washed. I would HIGHLY recommend this lovely caring young lady!”

About: I’ve been around and cared for animals my entire life. Growing up, my family always had six or more dogs at a time, ranging from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. I currently have two dogs and two cats of my own. I also have experience caring for a dog with seizures and administering medication, as well as handling a dog-reactive dog, so I’m very attentive to my surroundings and each pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities and will treat your pets like my own. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week and on weekends. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays in your home and can work around your pet’s normal routine. I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and will follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care. I also have experience with reactive dogs and am very mindful of safety and surroundings during walks.

I’m also always out exploring with my own dog, so I’d love to bring your pup along for walks and adventures when appropriate! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! Our home has two friendly cats, our own dog, and a large yard for supervised outdoor time. The yard is always used on a lead. I will treat your pet like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of 15+ years of hands-on experience with animals and my genuine passion for providing exceptional, personalized care. Caring for pets has always been something I love, and I take the time to understand each animal’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I am experienced with dog walking, pet sitting, grooming, puppy care, senior pet care, and providing extra patience and attention when animals need it most. I understand that puppies need consistency, positive reinforcement, exercise, and guidance as they learn, while senior pets often require a gentler approach, extra comfort, and attention to changes in their needs. I also have experience caring for cats and understand the importance of respecting their individual personalities—whether they are playful and social or more independent and reserved. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience providing drop-in care for farm animals, including chickens and goats. Farm visits can include feeding, providing and refreshing water, putting out hay, collecting eggs, and making sure each animal is safe, comfortable, and cared for according to their normal routine. I understand that farm animals have their own routines and care requirements, and I am comfortable taking the time needed to make sure everything is done properly. My goal is to provide more than just basic care. I focus on creating a safe, loving, and enriching experience for every animal while giving owners peace of mind through reliable communication, updates, and personalized attention. Whether I’m caring for a beloved family dog, a shy cat, or a small farm full of animals, I treat every animal with the same level of patience, respect, and care I would want for my own. I feel honored to be trusted with someone’s furry, feathered, or four-legged family members and look forward to providing them with dependable, loving care while you’re away. I am currently dedicating my full-time focus to growing my animal care business, which allows me to provide flexible, reliable, and attentive care for my clients’ pets. Because pet care is my primary commitment, I’m able to give each animal the time, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. My daily routine revolves around creating a safe, comfortable, and positive experience for every pet in my care—whether that means morning walks, playtime, feeding routines, enrichment activities, grooming needs, or simply providing companionship while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take pride in being dependable, responsive, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I offer flexible, dependable pet care options designed to keep your furry family member happy, comfortable, and well cared for in the environment where they feel most at ease. I provide in-home visits, dog walking, and overnight stays for both dogs and cats, with care tailored to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs. Whether your pet needs daily exercise, companionship, feeding routines, medication reminders, playtime, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to provide the level of care that works best for them. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe and loved. I also offer pet grooming services, including basic grooming care to help your pet look and feel their best. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care while giving you peace of mind knowing your pet is in great hands.

About: I’m not just someone who “likes dogs”. I grew up with a Golden Retriever. From puppy energy to senior comfort, I’ve been around it all. I’ve also cared for larger, strong-willed breeds like a Rhodesian Ridgebacks and cane corsos…so I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and personalities. Whether your dog needs structure, patience, or just someone who can match their energy, I adapt to what they need. I treat every dog like they’re my own. I pay attention to routines, behavior changes, and making sure they feel safe, calm, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I have been a caretaker and dog sitter for a few years. Needless to say, taking care of people’s loved-ones comes second nature to me. My night shift schedule at the VA allows me to be available all day to give your pet the attentive care that he/she needs including keeping them company, letting them out for potty breaks, walks,feeds,etc. With house-sitting, I will leave your home the way you left it. I will ensure that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well-fed. I will observe your pets closely. If I notice anything “off” about your pets, you will be notified immediately so that appropriate action is taken if needed.

She went above and beyond in every way and I cannot say enough good things about her. I highly recommend her and will definitely request her services again. She regularly updated me with information and pictures while I was away on vacation which was much appreciated.”

Stephanie was a fantastic cat sitter! It was clear from the meet and greet that she knew how to interact with pets unfamiliar with her (she also got to meet my dog), and she even understood the strict diet my cat has for a food allergy. When two days before my vacation my cat suddenly needed to go on liquid steroids, Stephanie was up to the task! She was very communicative about the medication progress as well as how my cat was doing. Stephanie even went above and beyond with little things to make sure my cat and house were okay over the 8 day booking. I will absolutely use Stephanie again and highly recommend her!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Sewickley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Sewickley is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $26 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 413 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Sewickley. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sewickley. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
