“Laken was a pleasure to work with! Very friendly communication and thorough updates. My cats are not super social with strangers but I’m hoping if we have Laken do any future sitting, they’ll get used to having her watch them.”
“Deeanna and Bev are amazing. They come once a week while I am living in my new grandson and I feel more than comfortable having them come over and take care of my 2 kitties. They are true animal lovers and my cats totally enjoy their visits. They are kind, sweet and incredibly helpful. I couldn’t imagine anyone else helping me. I give they 25 stars. Much love from me and my kitties. 💜💜”
About: I've been a dog owner myself for over eight years. My husband is an expert dog trainer and love, walks and snuggles with dogs can't be beat! I own a business that only takes up my physical time from 8am to 11am so the rest of my time is open. I am not always available every weekend so need advanced notice for weekends. I think outdoor time, walks and grass time is essential to a happy pup and happy humans. As a homeowner and Airbnb host myself I value taking care of people's homes and properties - tidying up, playing with furry friends inside and outside.
About: Hey pet parents, I'm Cici 🐾 I’m 26 and I love taking care of animals. Rover is the perfect fit for my active lifestyle and I’m sure to give your pup a fun time full of play and activity while you’re away. I love going on adventures and walks with the dogs! I find that long walks & opportunities to run around help reduce anxiety and make them happy. Overall, I have a passion for animal care and making sure they feel at home. I’d love to chat and learn more about your pup! 🙂 I’m currently home full time so I have time to play with the dogs, take them on adventures to the park and go on walks around my neighborhood. I have a fenced in yard for the dogs to play and the dog park is close by. There is a big field near my house as well as a hiking trail within walking distance.
About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life. Starting with my own when I was younger. Occasionally I would watch my family and friends pets. My animals are family. I’m currently working as bartender and starting up with my massage therapy career. While my daughter is in day care I’d love to spend more time doing something I enjoy like caring for animals. I can easily take your animals for a walk or play with them at your home. At the moment my home isn’t equipped for animals.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I have experience caring for energetic puppies, senior pets, shy cats, and animals that require extra patience or special care. I’m comfortable with daily routines, administering medications, reinforcing training, and keeping pets active, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. What makes me different is the level of care and communication I provide. I pay close attention to details, keep owners updated, and make sure every pet gets the same love, attention, and comfort they would receive at home. I'm currently working part-time, so I have time to spend with your furry family members. This allows me to reliably plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special routines your pet may need. Because my hours aren’t fully booked, I can provide consistent attention, quick check-ins, and dependable care throughout the week. I enjoy using my free time to care for animals, and I make sure each pet gets the time, patience, and attention they deserve. I care for pets by focusing on their comfort, safety, and daily routine. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime based on their individual needs. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality so I can provide calm, patient care whether they are energetic, shy, or senior pets needing extra support. I also keep their environment clean and comfortable, including regular litter box cleaning for cats and tidying up any messes. Most importantly, I treat every pet with kindness and respect, making sure they feel secure and cared for while their owner is away, and I keep communication open so owners can feel confident and at ease.
About: I am deaf, so I am able to bond with pets more because they cannot communicate their needs with humans. I am likewise, so I hope to communicate with gestures as they may did. I am studying in a certificate program, so that shouldn’t be a problem. I will work during the workdays, and I can be available during weekends. I have two kittens and three koi fishes. They are fed once in the mornings or evenings. I cuddle them for some time but left them to wander wherever their curiosity attracted them. My cats like to sit on my chest or necks when they wished to, but I left them to their desires when they want to.
“Jenna really spent quality time with the boys…great pics she took!! She is a sweetheart and truly cares about her clients. Please book her if you need a great and caring provider for your fur babies!”
“Kristen came in clutch! We made a last-minute decision to extend our vacation and booked an Airbnb in the small town of Cadiz where sitter selection was sparse. Kristen responded to my request immediately and was willing to drive 30 minutes after work to take care of Bogey. The visit was flawless, she followed directions perfectly, and we returned to a happy dog. His bully looks were no issue for her either. I also appreciated the pics she sent. We felt comfortable leaving his care in her hands and would do so again. Maybe with more than 7 hours notice next time ?”
About: I have had animals my whole life. Aside from having a well-loved pitty for 8 years, I have lots of experience keeping animals safe and loved! My family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues all count on me to keep their furry friends happy while they’re gone! I am a graduate student so I’m always willing to take a break from my studies! I’m available pretty much any time for your pet! In your home, I will follow your direction and use my best judgement to keep your animal safe. I believe that play and love builds trust with an animal so I’d love to take walks and toss a ball or treats around!
About: I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19! I've been a dog owner since I was 13, and have done everything in my ability to improve the care of my pets every step of the way. I have experience giving oral medication to dogs on a regular schedule, and am open to learning about any special needs your own dogs might have before I care for them. In addition to dog care, I am willing to water plants and care for your house according to your instructions. I am almost always available unless I have another client scheduled. Over the years I have developed a fairly loyal client base among my family and friends, and am looking into expanding beyond them in part because of how much I love caring for animals. I hope to hear from you soon! Housesitting is my full time job. Your pets will have my full attention for any stays you book with me. Barring any short errands, I will be in your home 24/7. I will offer a checklist of questions during Meet & Greets where clients can leave me care instructions. I always double check with clients before making any deviations from these instructions.
“Jeanna went above and beyond for us and our dog Emerie! She took excellent care of her, treated her like she was her own and gave her lots of love! We recieved pictures and updates on how Emerie was while we were gone. Jeanna was very respectful to our home and even brought in our packages that were delivered while we were out of town. When we arrived home Emerie was so happy, we would all love to use Jeanna again for any of our pup sitting needs! Highly recommend!”
“Highly recommended! Courtney did a fantastic job with my 3 dogs. Did a great job checking in and sending pics as well even though she didn’t have to. I will definitely book again.”
About: I became a dog sitter when my Husband was working in the Military. His friends and workers would all need to go see family and could not always take their animals. So I became known as their extra Pet mommy. Even after my Husband got out of the ARMY, We saw a old comrade I sat for, and they said their dog doesn't like their new sitter. She was sad I left. We saw them in EPCOT of all places. It was nice to know they liked me. I am available all day to come and walk or play, or even just sit with your puppies or kitties. I have my own transportation and am reliable. I never leave the pet alone. we play and cuddle a lot. I take care of their area and their meds if needed as well. I am currently working part time so I will have time to play and cuddle with your pets all the time. It will be my pleasure. I am always watching to make sure they don't get into something they shouldn't be eating or playing with. I love to take walks and play.
About: I have four of my own pups at home, they rage from an Australian Shepard, great-dane boxer mix, and a pitt bull black lab mix, to a pug! I also own livestock and small farm animals so i’m great in any situation! I have recently graduated so I am available early mornings also! I work part time so I am available almost daily! I’m able to come last minute so there’s no stress about wether or not your pup will be safe and cared for! If you’re trying out a new routine or sticking to the one you know works for your pup(s) I will follow any schedule from morning till night! I know how important it is for me to have things going to plan in order to be stress free and I want you to have the stress free time you deserve while I care for your animals your way!
About: I have been an animal lover all my life and i will take care of your pets daily needs as i do my own animals. I'm currently working full time but have a very flexible schedule. I can be there to help take care of their daily needs or just do drop in visits to tend to them. I currently have 2 full grown dogs for your pups to play with in a large yard. I am also able to walk daily when needed.
About: I will treat your family like my own! I grew up taking care of multiple cats, and have a special place in my heart for them - any minute I get to spend with a cat is a minute well spent. I also have years of experience caring for the dogs of friends and family. As a teacher, my afternoons and evenings are especially free and open. I am also open to finding time in the early mornings (before 7am) if that is your preference! I treat every pet with the care, love, and time that they deserve, while respecting the wishes and preferences of them and their owners. If there is anything you'd like me (not) to do, just let me know!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Shadyside
Laken took care of our two very shy cats while we were away for a long weekend. She was very attentive to their needs and did a great job cleaning up after them…they can be a bit messy! She communicated very well and even left then a little gift! This was our first time using rover and thanks to Laken it was a good experience!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 52 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Shadyside. 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 Shadyside. On Rover:
- 93% 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 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.
