“Laken did a wonderful job of caring for our cats.They are 11 months old and the girl Buttercup is very shy. Laken spent a lot of time down on the floor playing with them and showing them affection. She also kept the cat areas very clean, sweeping litter, scooping, and washing cat food cans before throwing them away. I returned to happy cats and an immaculate house. I am happy to travel again and will definitely call Laken to provide care.”
“Jennifer did a wonderful job taking care of my dog while we were away for the weekend. I would highly recommended her and am interested in booking her again in the future. Thanks, Jennifer:)”
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.
“Kaity was super responsive, met us at our house for a quick tour and was incredibly nice. And did exactly what we agreed upon. I trust that she took care of our three pups (two of which are elderly and one who takes pills two times a day!) and we would 100% have her back again.”
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.
About: ✨️If you're looking for a loving pet sitter/walker look no further!✨️ I have always been passionate about taking care of and helping animals of all shapes and sizes, and would love to help you with yours when you aren't available to do so. I am more than willing to petsit at your home, drop by and check on them, and take your pups on walks! I'm free every weekend! I love all the exotic creatures and understand their care. Feel free to contact me with any questions about services you need! I have no problem bathing, trimming nails, expressing anal glands, or doing sanitary clips/trims as well. If you need any additional services just ask, I am happy to accommodate as best I can. I will primarily be available during weekends after the school year starts. I can do walks and drop-in visits before and after work through the week. Message me and we can work something out. During stays at your home I am always sure to work out all safety details! Such as: where to walk or let out in the yard, any security measures for the home or outside, leash/harness/collar location and function, medical conditions and medication, etc. I also love to send pics of all the fun they have ❤️ ✨️Thank you for taking time to read and hope to hear from you soon! 😁 I am a preschool teacher September through May and work full time Monday through Friday. I am off during the summers and free anytime you and your pets may need me. I am always careful to follow all home care instructions when caring for your pets at home. I am always sure that pets are where they are needed to be and secured when leaving a home and safely secured with me when out and about.
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.
“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!”
“Shay was amazing with my two pups. When she came for the meet and greet the dogs loved her and she was not worried about them being bigger dogs. She sent me plenty of photos of my babies. She was great and I would book with her every time!!”
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.
About: I cared for 2 of my own dogs their entire lives. Puppies to elderly. I miss them so much. Now Im available to care for other fur babies who need it. I’m available all through the day and night (with the help of my mom & step dad who also live with me). Local to Wheeling, right off Washington Ave. My yard is fenced in & I live right behind Pleasanton ball field/dogpark/playground for extra fun walks. My home is very pet friendly so no crating is needed. It works out well. Would love to watch your pets for you. In your home or mine. I love all animals. I have a fenced in yard. Also live directly behind a playground & ball field for plenty of activity. Iv lived all my life with pets. Excited to help care for yours. I do prefer pet sitting at the pets home. I can have pets in my home no problem. I can pick up & deliver as well. Short trips or long stays. All options open.😊
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: 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: 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.
“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: Passionate dog enthusiast dedicated to spreading joy, one wagging tail at a time. With a heart full of love and a lifetime of canine companionship, I cherish every moment spent in the company of our loyal four-legged friends. Whether it's long walks in the park, cozy cuddle sessions on the couch, or simply sharing a moment of laughter and play, I'm committed to providing the happiest, healthiest, and most enriching experiences for dogs everywhere. Let's embark on this journey of unconditional love and boundless friendship together! I am currently free for any time/schedule at the moment! This may change in the future but I’ll be sure to let you know if it does I have 4 AussieDoodles and an Umbrella Cockatoo, so there is no shortage of company for your pet in my home! All of my pets are super friendly with other pets!
“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.”

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
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
