“Gary was great! He visited before our trip to meet the cats and he immediately established a warm rapport with our cats. It’s true that animals sense humans who care. They liked him from the start. He was reliable and sent photos of our fur babies daily which always made me smile and feel comforted that they were being well attended to. I highly recommend Gary as a top pet sitter”
“Chelsea was amazing! She treated our senior dog with such love. She was on time and she shared great pics of Tucker enjoying Chelsea’s visit. She is trustworthy and I hope to use her services again in the future. Thank you, Chelsea, for looking after our little man while we couldn’t. 💛”
“Justin was great! He was very quick to communicate about booking and visits! He was on-time and flexible for drop-in visits, and he provided great updates and photos of his time with Callie! They went for plenty of walks, and Justin spent extra time throwing the ball for her, and just relaxing at home for extra company while I was away! I will book again with Justin for my next trip! He did a fantastic job with Callie!”
“Was having problems with the rover app and couldn’t message her/answer her messages and she still did everything she needed to do for our dog! She even brought in a couple of packages! Would definitely use her again :)”
About: I have experience with puppies, reactive dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs 60+ lbs, as well as small dogs. Can handle larger dogs that pull and are reactive on walks. I currently have two big dogs of my own so my day to day always involves dog care. I have a reactive dog so I am familiar with that behavior. Making sure the dog is comfortable is always my goal. Especially since I am an unfamiliar person, I want to make sure our interactions don’t stress the dogs out and they don’t feel threatened by me in their space.
About: My family has had pets since before I was born! I’ve helped care for critters from cats, dogs, rodents, fish, and even reptiles (all of varying ages and needs) for most of my life. They truly are our family, so I take very seriously the needs and comfort of your pets. Respect, Kindness, and Reliability are what I’m all about! I work in a Retail setting, so the shifts vary. But I am confident we’ll be able to configure a satisfactory schedule for the care of your pets! I offer my care in your home! I am absolutely willing to stay over, if the particular case warrants it. I will make your babies feel as comfortable as possible during your time away!
About: Growing up surrounded by animals, my love for my pets naturally evolved to leaning towards caring for other people's pets. I bring 6 years of reliable, hands-on pet care experience spanning multiple life stages — from energetic puppies navigating their first milestones to adult pets needing attentive companionship. Over the years, I have managed a wide variety of temperaments and behavioral quirks, ensuring that every dog and cat in my care feels secure, comfortable, and loved. What truly distinguishes my service is my proactive, communication-first approach combined with a calm, adaptable energy. I don't just check the boxes for feeding and walks; I focus entirely on mirroring your pet's normal routine to minimize any separation anxiety. I prioritize absolute transparency, providing you with detailed, high-quality updates and photos so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away. Whether it be drop-in visits at your home or boarding your pet at mine, I always treat your pet with the utmost respect and like family. As I have dogs of my own, it will fit like a glove as I will be caring for your dog alongside my own. I will treat your dog like my own. Dogs are very important to me regardless whether it’s my own dog or someone else’s. I will make sure that dog is safe and feels cared for in any environment.
About: I’ve had cats now for about 5 years! 4 of my own (ages 4, 4, 4, and 8), and they are absolutely the loves of my life!! I do also have experience with administering oral and eye medications for cats! My experience with dogs isn’t quite as extensive but just as thorough!! I have experience with walking and feeding!! I currently work full-time as a registered nurse, doing rotating (days and nights) 12 hour shifts, 3 days a week, so I typically have quite a bit of availability and a pretty flexible schedule!! I am currently available for drop-in visits to ensure your pet has all the care they need! I will also provide pictures and updates :) My cats get fed twice a day and have plenty of toys and scratch posts! I also have an abundance of treats for them to snack on!!
“Very quick reply and great communication. He was so great with shadow, and sent me plenty of pictures and video updates. Will definitely use Andy again! Thanks so much!”
“Savannah gave me so much peace of mind when I was traveling for a few days and she watched my 2 cats. She came by prior to my trip so I could show her around and what needed to be done, and the cats took to her right away. Getting pictures and a little update every day was such a nice touch too. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Jessica is a great sitter! She went above and beyond for our cats as she was able to accommodate last minute request we had, also she is carefully folowing instructions when feeding our diabetic cat, which is very much appreciated! We have used her services multiple times and when we need a sitter she is the first one who's availability we check. You can tell that Jessica loves animals, she is responsible, dependable, punctual and kind. We are happy to be able to find Jessica when we did. If you are in need of drop in visits for your pets, we recommend to consider Jessica for assistance with that.”
“Hailey is an amazing sitter for my pets. She is prompt, responsive, and genuinely cares about my pets which is so helpful for me. I love the photos that I get and after visit notes and feel that my pets are being well cared for while I'm at work”
About: I’ve been working with a variety of dogs of all different breeds for roughly 6 years via dog walking, dog sitting, etc! I love dogs of all kinds! I’m a doctoral student of occupational therapy, so most of my time is spent working via fieldwork and doing homework. I am free on Tuesdays & Thursdays for drop ins/walks, and on weekends for housesitting. I’m happy to help with any household needs specified during housesitting! Please leave me comprehensive instructions for caring for your pet(s), including meal details/times, walking schedule, etc.
About: Hi! My name is Plachette, and I've lived with various pets since I was a child. My father was a dog breeder (pitbulls <3), so being surrounded by puppies and dogs is something I've become accustomed to! I have experience with dog walking and sitting multiple breeds at once and administering medication as instructed. While dog sitting at your home, I'll also tend to any messes that are made, bring your newspapers/packages/mail, and give you thorough daily updates of what's going on around the home. Upon request I'm able to provide proof of having 5 star ratings for 150+ services I've already completed for other pet parents. For dog walks, I'm capable of handling small to gigantic dogs. I can work with dogs that pull. I prefer to use a waist leash (I have my own) while walking dogs since it allows me to be hands free and have more control with your pet. Of course, if you prefer your pet's own leash, that's fine too. :) I am self-employed so I am able to make my own schedule for work days and hours. If extended stays or additional pets need longer periods of care, I can adjust to these changes. When pet owners provide me with particular details on how to care for their pets (feeding schedules, administering medication, crating, etc.), I will be a able to provide proper care for any pet.
“Kathryn was great with our cats (who warmed up to her faster than their usual), communicated super well, and was fastidious about care and cleaning. Would love to work with her again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. I love spending time with them in my free time! My daughter loves cats and dogs! Currently working 745am-345pm Monday-Friday. Can care for your pet before and after work! I also get a long lunch break would be able to check on them during then too! I have a large unfenced yard but willing to take dog to a fenced yard if needed! My daughter and I love spending time with animals.

Ashley is very nice and I like her! She is very reliable! Thanks for taking good care of Nico!! I'm so glad you and Nico became friends!! I would love for you to watch Nico the next time I go away in April if interested! I would highly recommend Ashley to watch other pets! Thanks again Kim !!
Olivia came for drop-ins for my two cats twice a day while I was on vacation for about a week and she did a fantastic job! One of my cats needed insulin shots and she proactively came over a few times before the booked time to practice administering the injection to make sure she did it correctly and was comfortable with doing it, which I really appreciated. My other cat also needed a pill and she made sure he took it during every drop-in. She is very communicative and reached out with questions and updates as needed, but for the most part, I was hands-off and knew my cats were in good hands so I could enjoy my vacation. I will definitely be reaching out to Olivia for any future kitty care needs!
Lindsey did an amazing job taking care of our 3 cats. She took it in stride that Zoe chose to hide under the bed every time she came to feed them. (Of course she came out on the last day.). Buddy chose to hide for several days too, and she spent time in our cluttered basement trying to lay eyes on him. Eventually he softened up though. Sammy was all in from the beginning, and he loves Lindsey. She spent time playing with the two boys, and made sure their wack-a-mole toy was charged up. She very thoughtfully left lights on inside the house for our return, which we greatly appreciated, as our flight was delayed and we didn't get home until 2am. So nice to not come home to a dark house, and everything looked really good. Lindsey is wonderful!
Jessica is a friend you didn't know you had! She made everything smooth and easy. She cated for my cats as if they were her own. Not even the winter storm of the decade kept her away. And she even cleared a path to my house so when I got home after my trip, I wasnt snowed out. She took great pictures and amazing updates. always quick to respond, a very caring person. Hands down best sitter I've had. I couldn't thank her enough. Took away all the stress I would of had during my trip.
Brittany did such an amazing job with my kitty Gemma. Her reports were SUPER detailed each time with pictures to boot—even if everything was pretty much the same as the day before. The best part is: I didn’t even ask. I will be using Brittany as often as possible!
Kristi did a fabulous job caring for my cats over the holiday. As always, she is great at confirming her availability and scheduling visits. When I forgot something, Kristi called to clarify instructions which I super appreciate!! Thanks Kristi! My cats enjoy Kristi’s visits, they can sometimes be sassy when I’m not around but Kristi has great cat intelligence, takes photos and I always return to happy yet clingy kitties.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,572 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wilmerding. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
