About: There hasn’t been a time where there wasn’t a cat or dog running around my house! All of my animals have lived past the age of 15, so they are well taken care of. I love all animals and really would save them all if I could. My Rover promise to you is to treat your pets like I treat my own with nothing but love, kindness, and definitely some treats ;)! I set my own schedule by working with special needs adults, so I can usually be flexible if given at least a few hours notice. I have a senior dog that is 15 years old and her name is Reese. I also have a very hyper 4 year old Great Pyrenees/Anolian shepherd who absolutely loves everyone! I have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and also dogs with disabilities. I have been in the medical field for over 20 years, so it feels like Christmas morning every day when I get back to my fur babies. I’m at a point in my life where my daughter is an adult, so I have finally have extra time again. I would treat your pet like I treat my own babies!
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!
“We just got back from a week-long road trip and honestly, the best part was not worrying about our dogs the entire time. Cailynn took care of Jasper and Gordon like they were her own. Two small dogs with two very different personalities is not always an easy ask, and she handled it effortlessly. We got regular photo updates that made the whole family smile, especially our girls, who checked for new pictures every morning. Everything was clean and in order when we got home, and both dogs were relaxed and clearly well cared for — no anxious behavior, no adjustment period, just happy pups. Communication was easy from the start, scheduling was flexible, and she followed our feeding and walk routine exactly as we left it. We'll absolutely be booking again for our next trip and recommend her to anyone in the area without hesitation.”
“I don’t think there are enough words to do justice for the amount of appreciation I have for Erin. Erin not only took this booking the day before I needed her due to a last minute cancel by another rover user, she also extended the time we needed her for due to medical emergencies. She went over and beyond for our dogs, especially considering she had to keep them separate the entire time and one of the dogs is not potty trained yet. She even washed the rags we provided her to be able to clean the puppies cage when she went to the bathroom! I think it goes without saying that Erin is an extremely reliable dog sitter, our dogs were very happy when we got home and appear to be kept for very well. She sent us a lot of photos and videos which our son looked forward to seeing everyday, and she kept us up to date on how the dogs were doing! I would highly recommend Erin as a dog sitter, you can tell she really loves animals!”
“We are very happy with the care Markie provides our two cats. She is dependable and great communicator. We have used her services several times and will plan to do so again in the future.”
“Thank you, Deanna, for taking care of our three dogs over the last couple days. Everybody was in good spirits when we got home. The dog seemed to enjoy spending time with you. We look forward to using you again when we travel.”
“Allicia was wonderful!!! My pets instantly felt at ease with her. She was reliable, sent daily -really cute photos(she could be a pet photographer ?)!! and communicated throughout the service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“tony was great with my cats, he played with my kitten and gave some special one on one attention to my older cat. he also was able to give my cat her eye drop medication. he was very communicative and always sent pictures. would definitely recommend”
About: I’ve been volunteering at animal shelters since 2024 with the job to socialize dogs and cats who are waiting to be adopted. I am fear free certified. I’ve also completed level one of a dog training program which included kennel safety procedures, canine body language, and enrichment practices. I currently work full time with a hybrid schedule, so I’ve got lots of availability for your weekend pet adventures! If you live near Squirrel Hill and need care during the week - just ask! I know that all animals have their own personalities and require personalized support based on their interests and boundaries. I intentionally observe pets to see the level of affection they are looking for and of course if they have any favorite ways to play!
“While our family was away Sarah took excellent care of our dogs. It was a comfort knowing that our dogs were in good hands. Thank you for taking such good care of them.”
“Clareese took such great care of my cats Hiro and Miso while we were away! She gave great updates, was super friendly, and very flexible with everything. It made me feel so much better knowing they were in good hands. You can tell she really cares about the pets she watches. Will 100% book with her again!”
“Andrew was reliable and communicative for each visit. We got pictures of all of our pup’s activities and he managed our teething puppy. Will definitely come back to him in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs! I have experience feeding, playing, bathing, walking, and even training young dogs with simple things. I was able to gain experience taking care of dogs because I have a dog of my own who is now a senior. I’m also a dog walker at my local animal shelter which allows me to interact with dogs of all ages and different behaviors. Aside from dogs, I also have experience feeding and playing with cats. I have two cats who are friendly, love cuddles, neck scratches, and are amazing with my dog! I’m a college student who commutes to school. I have more flexibility during breaks but throughout the school year weekends are what would work best. I have experience with both cats and dogs. This has allowed me to work with animals that have different behaviors. I believe that animals require patience and love just like any other being. If needed, your pet will be in good hands in my home since my cats and dog get along very well.
“Melanie was amazing! She sent detailed updates with pictures and videos. We were so relieved to have her dropping in on our kitties while we were out for the weekend. It made it possible to enjoy ourselves and know they were happy. I could tell she was great because our one kitty warmed up to her and not only were we excited but, Melanie was excited too and sent photos and videos of them getting closer over the days. She also helped us out with watering our little garden and we were so grateful! Thanks girl!”
“Alex is a pro. We have one dog that can be aggressive towards new people and strangers. But he took it all in stride. Alex handled our dogs with ease and care on Christmas day. Highly recommend him as a dog wallker and sitter.”
“Disha was a great sitter for our two cats while we were out of town! Both of our girls warmed up to her quickly, even our shy cat. Would trust her with the care of our girls again next time we travel.”
About: I worked as a Kennel Attendant for 6 years and I was the Assistant Manager The Dog Stop. I have watched a lot of cats and dogs at clients houses as well so i’m familiar with in home pet sitting and walking. I have a full time job so I’m available varying times throughout the week and weekends, but i will always be sure to take care of the pets i’ve committed to caring for. I have one friendly dog at home and a fenced in yard for dogs that are friendly with other dogs. I also have a closed off large area for dogs that would rather not interact with other dogs. In a clients home I will be vary attentive to your pet and respectful of your space.
“Justin was great to work with overall. I used him to take my dog out while I was at work and he texted me updates during the visit and took pictures as well. He also documented a summary of the visit and left my place exactly as I found it. I would highly recommend him and use him again if I need him.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - West Homestead
Markie was so sweet to our kitties ~ they did remarkably well, even though they hide. She talked to them and took really good care of their necessities (clean water and bowls, their food, and cleaning their litter boxes, and vacuuming their litter)! She’s great!
Lucas took the most excellent care of our 3 kitties while we were away, including administering medication to 2 of them! He even brought in my mail! We don't travel an awful lot so I was a bit nervous to leave our kitties for that long but Lucas gave us a ton of peace of mind and I'll definitely schedule again in the future! Thanks so very much for everything!
Divya was amazing! She sent us incredibly detailed daily updates while checking in on our three cats and you could tell how much she loved hanging out with them. She also went above and beyond to help us out when a smoke detector ran out of batteries and started beeping while we were gone. We would absolutely love to have her back!
Rylee watched our 3 cats during an extended vacation and it gave us peace of mind that they were being well taken care of. The cats usually find unique ways to destroy the house while we are out but we came back to everything in its place. And our cats are shy, but bonded with Rylee after just a few days and we loved getting pics of them getting plenty of pets.
Maya had the patience of a saint with our cat, Linus. It’s the first time he had ever been left alone and he was not a happy camper. Maya tried everything she could to get him to relax and be happy. In the end, he settled down a bit, and was healthy and happy when we got home to him. Which is the most important thing. We appreciated the photos and information about what was going on back home!
Vanessa took amazing care of our two cats while we were away, the daily photos showed happy playful kitties who were getting all the attention they craved! Clear communication and prompt arrival times the entire trip, I never had to worry and could fully enjoy our trip. Definitely would rebook with Vanessa.
Savannah did an excellent job caring for my senior cat, Phoebe, who has some special medical needs including a daily oral pill. I’m always nervous leaving Phoebe alone overnight, but Savannah’s prompt and thorough communication helped put my mind at ease. She gave her lots of care and attention during her visits with Phoebe and took great care of my home as well. I will definitely rebook with Savannah if we need a sitter in the future!

As of September 2026, there are 1,292 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across West Homestead. 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.

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.
