“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.”
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!
“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Erin did a great job taking care of my kitty while we were on vacation! She did occasional drop in visits to play with Zelda, feed her, clean the litter box etc. for the two weeks we were gone. Everything was well taken care of, and Zelda is happy!”
“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.”
“Melanie is an amazing sitter. She’s super easy to communicate to and took really good care of our cats. We appreciate all the timely and detailed updates. Will definitely book her again!”
“I honestly dont think there are words that can describe how incredible this girl is. In 4 days she turned my INSANELY anxious cat who has never once came out for a sitter into how he acts just like he is with me, a cute crazy playful little boy. When she kept me updated on photos and videos of them two playing i was shocked! She is hands down the best on the app and i am so thankful to have found her. Love, molly courtney and cooper”
“Alexander was fantastic! He took great care of our cats, was very communicative, and even brought in our mail. We felt very confident in the level of care he provided!”
About: With years of experience walking and caring for dogs of all size from tiny companions to larger, energetic breeds I’ve developed a natural connection with dogs and treat each one like family. 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM (Daily) This schedule allows me to provide consistent, focused care during the hours when dogs benefit most from exercise and attention. I’ve been around dogs my entire life, starting with my own at age six, and have continued caring for and walking dogs of all sizes ever since. From small, delicate pups to larger, high-energy breeds, I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs. I take pride in being patient, attentive, and dependable, always making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy on every walk. When you trust me with your dog, you can count on them being treated with the same care and respect as if they were my own.
“Tony was very loving and attentive to our elderly dog while we were away for a week. It was reassuring leaving knowing that our fur baby was in good hands. Would most definitely recommend Tony for your pet care needs!”
“Disha was perfect with Kaos - he’s a shy boy but he warmed up to her immediately and she did an excellent job watching him while I was away for the weekend!”
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!
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.
“Andrew was great! He was on time, had great communication, and went above and beyond. He took great care of my dog Shadow and I will certainly hire him in the future. If you’re looking for someone dependable and great with dogs, look no further!”
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.
“Megan came to my rescue and was available over the holiday. She took great care of my dog and kept me informed so I could enjoy time with my family. She is reliable and loved up on my dog. I will be using her in the future!”
“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.”
“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.”

Erin was highly communicative and dependable. She took great care of our two large, high-energy dogs while we were away. She asked thoughtful questions in advance to make sure she a thorough understanding of the dogs and what they needed. We would happily work with Erin again!
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.

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 Homestead 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.
