“Lexy has been great with our two dogs and the dogs love seeing her. She sends great pictures after each visit and she makes us feel like our dogs are in good hands. We really appreciate Lexy and all she does for us and our dogs.”
About: I am experienced with all breeds from chihuahuas to pit-bulls. We have a nice size yard and a lovable dog and cat. We have a straight hair labradoodle and s strictly indoor cat. We have raised dogs, cats and rabbits. Our son has been raised with dogs and cats and is very good with animals of all kinds. I have experience with giving medication, trimming nails and other minor grooming tasks. Dog walks around the community is an activity we enjoy doing. On those rainy days we like to sit in the living room and relax. Our dogs enjoy being brushed and just being loved on. Whether it is a stop in visit or boarding I can provide the love and care your dog will need to stay healthy and happy. I'm currently a gig worker(Doordash, etc). So my schedule is very flexible. My wife also works from home. So, if boarding, someone is always home. Our dog and cat are very friendly. We have a backyard and plenty of quiet streets to go for a walk. Our pets are allowed on the furniture so your pet can make themselves at home.
“Katrena was very professional. She provided detailed and timely updates while caring for my cat Sophia. I would recommend her services and will definitely contact her for any future pet sitting needs.”
About: I have trained my pets well, I will care and make sure they get the things they need. I want to leave your best friends in the best hands. I have random school hours near my home. I am available mostly evenings and weekends and even most mornings I can check on the animals. We have a dog that could keep your animal company, we also have done up basement if your pet prefers to be alone. We have an open back yard, so we'll just keep a leash on the pet when outside.
About: I have been around dogs and other animals since I was an infant. My family has consistently taken care of dogs for over 30 years. I especially love training and taking dogs on enrichment activities. Pet care is a daily responsibility that requires singular attention on the animal with no multitasking. Animals need more than just food and water; they require attention and enrichment daily. Animal safety means thinking ahead and preparing. Each animal has specific needs that will allow them to thrive when met. It is important that an animal have its own space such as a crate or perch, and that they are supervised when on walks or in a new environment.
About: I recently relocated from Johnstown to McKeesport and am looking forward to meeting all the new pups in the area! I have been dog sitting for the past few years now and absolutely love it! My family has always had dogs since I can remember. I got my first dog, Ruby, named after the children’s show Max and Ruby, when I was 4 years old. I have loved caring for dogs ever since. Ruby is even still kicking at 18 years old! I now have a second dog, a 2 year old Husky who loves to play. I’ve trained many dogs, older and puppies since I can remember. I also have a lot of experience with elderly dogs, Ruby being a prime example. We go on walks often and I have basic dog training experience. I work part-time fully from home. I make my own schedule for work so I am completely flexible. The only time I ever leave the house is to take my dogs somewhere, dog park, hiking trail, etc. I am available every day and do same day bookings so feel free to reach out whenever you need! My dogs are very friendly and love other dogs. We also have 2 cats that play with our dogs as well. I have a fully fenced in yard to give your fur baby plenty of room to run around freely and play.
“We had a great experience with Ashlyn! This was our first time leaving our kitten and we were a bit nervous but Ashlyn did wonderful with her! We got updates and pictures every day and her communication was perfect!”
About: I am passionate about keeping my own dog well cared for and in great shape (she gets walked twice a day and we frequently go on long distance hikes together!) and would love to help do the same for your pet. I also know how anxious it often makes my wife and I feel when we have to leave our dog alone at home for extended periods, so if you've ever felt that way yourself and would like to have someone come and visit/check in on them or need a place to board them, I'm there for you! My full-time job is seasonal so for the summer my schedule during the week is quite open for you! Starting in mid-August I'll be available afternoons and evenings for you and your pet! I am happy to play with your dog inside or outside depending on your/their preference, and I can easily match their energy level. I'll administer any treats or food needed per your instructions and make sure your dog feels at ease (and hopefully a little more tired!) when I leave for the day.
“Michelle was able to come over and check on my three cats every day for a week while we were out of town. They were well taken care of and my babies were happier than they usually are when I come back after a trip!”
“We are so thankful for the wonderful care our dog, Rudy, and guinea pigs received from Kade! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were well cared for and happy while we were away. Communication was excellent. He gave Rudy lots of attention at each of his drop-ins with walks, playing with toys, etc. He was also attentive to our guinea pigs. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Gianna! From the moment we met, I knew my pup was in good hands. They treated my dog like family—sending updates, sharing photos, and making sure every little detail was taken care of. My dog came back happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a relief to know there’s someone I can trust when I have to be away. Reliable, kind, and truly an animal lover through and through. I highly recommend Gianna to anyone who wants peace of mind and a happy, well-cared-for pet. We’ll definitely be booking again!”

About: I have had dogs since I was 7 years old. I’ve had big dogs and little dogs. I currently have 2 dogs of my own and I foster through Cross Your Paws Rescue. I love dogs more than most people. I have dog sat in my own house as well as family and friends homes. I promise to care for your dog(s) as if they were my own! I currently work full time but my husband works from home so someone is almost always at home with the dogs. When we aren’t home, it’s only for dinner or a quick grocery run. We don’t like leaving our dogs for more than a couple hours. I have a fenced in back yard and 2 dogs that love to play! I also sometimes have foster dogs in my home but they are always fully vaccinated and spayed/neutered and always are dog friendly.
“I have never left my cat in the care of a stranger before, so after my original sitter fell through I was incredibly nervous when booking a new one, but Cheyenne was perfect. She was available last minute, was super sweet, and sent such cute videos and photos of her with my kitty, who she seemed to do very well with. If I ever find myself needing a cat sitter again I know exactly who to call.”
About: I love dogs and grew up with them! Though I don't have the space for them now, I've been missing some puppy playtime! Both of my parents are vets as well, so I'm also pretty well versed in all things pet care! I do work full-time, but a lot of my job can be done from home depending on the amount of notice I have before discussing that with my boss. That being said my weekends are pretty open as well as the occasional monday. I typically work from home every other monday! I love all animals! Growing up I had 2 dogs and then foster failed 2 cats! Those 2 cats currently live with my parents, but I'm bringing them up here when I move into my own place. Both of my roommates also have cats!
About: I’ve had dogs and the occasional cat since I was born, including a sweet old lab/doberman mix, a lazy corgi mix, and an anxious westie. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters from a young age and have watched over many friends’ and neighbors’ pets. I’m free just about 24/7 as I’m on summer break from university. I’m more than happy to stay overnight, stop by throughout the day, and be up early in the morning. When taking care of your pets, all of my attention will be on them and their health, safety, and comfort. Beyond that, I will follow whatever instructions are given to me, as I understand every pet is different. I’m happy to play energetically or sit quietly while your pet gets used to a new friend.
About: Have had many family pets, all families pets love me, and I love them. I genuinely enjoy the presence of any and all animals wholeheartedly Currently pretty open for any and almost all help needed. Looking to expand more entrepreneurship as I evolve elsewhere so I am easily and readily available I am very easy going! I am okay with matching their typically routine of walks, being let out, bathroom schedules, feeding schedules, absolutely great at following instructions- or taking the lead! Open to it all

My regular sitters were on vacation and I needed someone sorta last minute to do bedtime drop-in visits for my pups while I was away, and Melissa was great! Always on time and sent pictures and updates on the dogs. Super easygoing and friendly! I would definitely use her services again if needed!

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 West Elizabeth 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in West Elizabeth choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in West Elizabeth with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
