About: I have had dogs my whole life, and have experience with both small and large dog care. Experience giving medication to dogs. I also enjoy taking dogs for walks.. I currently work part-time, but can arrange pet care around my work schedule. I am a recent high school graduate and will be going to college in the fall, but can be available from time to time to sit. I’m a lifelong dog lover, I’ve never known a time in my life where I haven’t had a dog as a pet. I treat my dogs like my siblings and would do the same for any dog I’m caring for.
About: I've had a lot of experience with high energy dogs, and I currently have a 4-year old Siberian husky. I am happy to bring her to play if your dog wants an energy release or I can come solo! I also run with my husky in the mornings and would be happy to run with your dog if they are comfortable with other dogs! I work from home full time and have a pretty flexible schedule! Just let me know what time you need me to come and I'll block it in my calendar. I like to walk the dog for at least 1.5-3 miles depending on the energy level, but that's coming from a husky mom. I can adjust the distance as you see fit!
“We left our cat in Robin’s care for a 2.5 week vacation. She had never been left that long. Robin did an amazing job keeping Journey company and making her feel loved. Couldn’t have asked for more pictures or updates. Robin was awesome!”
“Lori is always there for us. She takes care to know Schatzi so well and gives him exactly what he needs: from super energy to relaxing cuddles. She is is a 7 out of 5 stars.”
About: Growing up, I always had pets around my home. From a docile miniature Dachshund to an excitable (perhaps… crazy?) German Shepherd, I have taken care of dogs of various sizes and personalities! I love both over-excitable pups and older dogs who need extra support and care. In the past, I have spent time volunteering with Mastiffs to Mutts Rescue to transport rescue dogs from their foster homes to their forever homes, so I have experience handling very large dogs! I currently have two gray tabbies (a bonded pair of sisters) and grew up with other feline friends. I understand the kind of care they need when their favorite humans are away, whether they are skittish or brave adventurers! I'm currently a music teacher in Washington County, so I am tend to only take clients over holidays and throughout the summer months. I am also available on most weekends with at least 2 days notice. I live in a small home with my own cats, so I am not available for pet-sitting in my own home. However, I have experience pet-sitting and house-sitting and take extra care when in someone’s home. Security and safety of your pet and home is my first priority. I am more than willing to share updates and photos of your pet or home with you to ease any worries you may have while away from your furry friends!
About: I am a married mother with a 14 year old daughter and a 17 year old son. I also have 2 cats and a sweet 8 year old pit mix. Animals and animal rescue are my passion and I have been watching friends' and neighbors' dogs in my home for years. I have a fenced in backyard and my cats and dog are good with dogs. I would be willing to host dogs for over night stays, weekends or week-long vacations. Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs since I was born! My mother is a hopeless dog rescuer just like me and I have always had multiple dogs in my home. Meet my pets I have 2 cats and 1 dog About my yard My back yard is completely fenced in. There is a long flat grassy area and a big hilly area for them to run. My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering oral medications. I currently work from home most of the time so I will be around to make sure your dog gets lots of attention and time. I have a fenced in backyard and a friendly, playful dog to keep your dog company. My children are older and really good with dogs.
“Abby is above and beyond as usual. She took great care of our dog and four guinea pigs. Two of our pigs needed extra medical attention (oral medicine + eye ointment), and she handled it really well. She also took adorable pictures of our pets to let me know they are healthy and happy. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life but my first job years ago in high school was at a veterinary hospital/ boarding. Because I was still in high school I was mainly in the kennels taking care of all the wonderful fur babies while their parents were out of town. Also, after informing the doctors that I was aspiring to become a vet, they allowed me to put on some scrubs and help out occasionally. I quickly realized that I was going to find a different way to care for animals 😂 Since then I have raised my own dogs and cared for animals of friends and family and have worked a few jobs at doggie daycares. I am an early riser because of my job so if your fur baby is too, they will fit right in! I work construction so I will be out for a portion of the day, but my wife works from home so her and our two pups will always be there to keep your baby company and make them feel right at home! At my house, no where is off limits for a furry friend. We can do anything to accommodate your fur babies to make sure they’re comfortable with their stay and you can have peace of mind that they will be happy and safe while you are away!
“Marissa was great! I highly recommend! She was right on time and gave my dogs plenty of time outside and gave them treats too. They were happy and well cared for when I got home. Thanks Marissa!”
“Sydnie was amazing! I had a lot to hand off to her in terms of care and meds for my cats and while my cats had their own ideas. she did so amazing and with so much grace. On time, communicative and just lovely to work with. Would definitely recommend and book again with her.”
“So cooperative & reliable. A road closure created a little bit issue, but they were able and willing to accommodate and committed to taking care of OUR buddy Mac. would definitely contact again, however, a little too”
“Katelyn was a wonderful sitter for our two cats and rabbit! She provided meaningful updates and made being away from our crew a little easier. 10/10 - no notes! 😊”
“Lindsey was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was very attentive to our dogs needs from initial meeting to end of service. She was great at responding to communication to help us feel comfortable while away. She also was very reliable with visits and made sure our dogs had a good experience. Definitely would work with again!”
About: As a caregiver of humans, my number one asset for this job is patience. I am not easily startled or upset, and treat any accidents or change in plans as a reason to simply go with the flow. Having worked with medically complex newborns, colic babies, and overnight nanny shifts, I am well equipped to deal with a pet that might be anxious or jumpy because they miss their parent. I currently work as a nanny and doula, so my schedule fluctuates greatly. At times I may have multiple baby/mother clients, and at times I may only have one, and am seeking flexible caregiving work with animals to brighten my slower weeks. From my experience as a nanny and doula, I always prioritize safety, following caregiving instructions and bringing a calm energy to your home to make your pet feel comfortable and loved. I do not care for animals in my own home as my cat is happier being an only child. I offer drop ins and walks for cats and small/medium dogs. I have over five years experience working in other people’s homes with both animals and children, so I am very thorough and detail oriented, always remembering to shut doors behind me and keep things safely out of the reach of babies and animals. As a doula, I often enter people’s homes at a very vulnerable and chaotic time and so I am used to being a responsible source of stability as a caregiver.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Fayette
Robin took wonderful care of my two cats, Mabel and Louise, while I was out of town. She came by twice a day, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely cares about animals, especially since she's a pet owner herself. Knowing that Mabel and Louise were being looked after with such kindness and attention made all the difference while I was away. Robin was reliable, caring, and gave me complete peace of mind. I would highly recommend Robin to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. I'll definitely be reaching out to her again the next time I travel!
Kiersten does such an amazing job checking in on our cats when we are away. She gives our cats so much love and always posts plenty of cute pictures and detailed notes after each visit. We would highly recommend Kiersten as a reliable, communicative and very dedicated Rover!!
Bailee is great. She goes above and beyond while looking after Roc and Cookie. She is extremely attentive to their needs and always keeps us updated on how they are doing. We love when Bailee looks after them and I know Roc and Cookie are in good hands when she’s here.

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 .

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 South Fayette 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.

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.
