About: Hello! Thanks for checking out my profile. Choosing care for your animal(s) can be a difficult decision. You want them to be in the very best hands while you're away. It's my goal to provide just that! My name is Ashley and I am an animal lover. My own pet sitter calls my house a little zoo. I have four cats, two frogs, and fish! I foster cats and kittens for two local rescues in my free time and get my puppy love through Rover. I am a nursing student and have a flexible schedule. I am located in the McCandless area, near North Park--a fantastic location for walking dogs! Whether you’re looking for someone to offer drop-in visits to check in on your animals while you’re away or would prefer that someone stay with them over night, don’t hesitate to reach out! I’d love to meet your furry (or non-furry!) family member(s) and be their best friend while you’re away. I am currently a nursing student and have a flexible schedule! I am available for drop-ins, walks, or home stays to provide company for your pet(s)! I am able to offer pet care in my client's homes. This enables me to maintain existing routines for your pet(s) in an environment they are already familiar with and comfortable in.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I recently graduated from college and moved to the city, and I’m excited to continue spending time with animals through dog walking and pet sitting. Over the years, I’ve pet sat and walked dogs for neighbors, friends, and family members, giving me experience with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. My family has Dane Mastiffs, so I’m very comfortable handling large breeds, but I also adore small dogs like my aunt’s two mini dachshunds. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I understand how important routines, exercise, patience, and affection are for dogs, and I’ll always treat your pet like part of the family. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands! I work full-time, but my schedule is similar to shift work. I have open mornings and the occasional free weekend! Pet care is something I enjoy, gets me outside, and is a little bit of exercise all at once. I’m organized, dependable, and committed to making sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings, I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide updates (and lots of pictures!) so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. My goal is for the pets to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. That means sticking to their routine, staying in familiar environments, and being aware of the surrounding stressors. I am great at following clear instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, litter box care, and any special routines their pets are used to. I also keep homes clean and tidy, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I can provide services at the client's home; I don't have boarding facilities.
About: Hi! I'm a registered nurse taking on the role of full-time graduate student, pursuing a career in nurse anesthesia. I've always been a pet lover, often dog/cat sitting for friends and family. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler approach. I stick closely to routines and will always keep pet parents updated so you can feel confident your pet is in safe, caring hands. Looking forward to meeting your fur babies!! I currently am a full-time student attending clinical rotations full time and class during the week. Semesters vary, but most weekends I am fully available. Inquire for more specific weekday availability! I provide drop in visits to your own home, where your pet is most comfortable! I'll follow your pets normal routine (feeding, fresh water, playtime, etc.)
“This is our second time using Jennifer and she continues to be amazing! Our dog and cat both love her and it brings us extreme peace-of-mind knowing they are happy and well-cared for when we are away.”
“Heather was so kind and upon meeting her, I instantly knew I wouldn’t have to worry while I was gone. She was very communicative and I know my boy had the best treatment.”
“Thank you Erica for another outstanding job taking care of Bobby. Bobby does not do well in a kennel and we always worried about Bobby when we were away, But Bobby is much happier, better at home with you looking after him. I know he looks forward to your visits and always looks happy with you in the pictures you send. We are extremely happy with your service and thank you for being so flexible with our changing schedule.”
About: I have my own 5 year old corgi, Winnie and 2 year old corgi, Walter. I’ve watched my friends’, neighbors’ and parent’s dogs for years. I love all dogs and know how important it is to trust the person caring for your fur baby! I am home early on Fridays and all day during the weekends. I love to walk and spend time outdoors and am happy to take your pup along! Need early weekday mornings or weekday evening help? Just ask- we can make it work! My dog is my child and I intend to treat your pup just the same! I am happy to follow any specifics you have to keep your pet comfortable- no request is too crazy. I get it- they’re your best friend!
“Brian was stellar! He was able to accommodate a last minute extra visit, and provided pictures and updates on how both cats were doing! It made traveling away from my cats a lot less stressful knowing they were being taken care of.”
About: I have owned and taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I have also managed dogs with severe anxiety and certain health issues. I am a college student so until May I am limited to weekends. After May, I will be available workdays and weekends during the day and at night. I have confident skills in understanding dog and cat language from past experiences. I am also great at handling and crating dogs at their own comfort level.
“Thank you Meghan for taking such good care of Bobby our Standard Poodle. Meghan scheduled a meet and greet wish us and Bobby took immediate liking to her. We are very happy with the care she showed to Bobby.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Michelle! She went above and beyond during an emergency visit, not only making sure my dog was cared for but also cleaning up an unexpected accident without hesitation. Her communication was excellent, giving me total peace of mind while I couldn’t be there. Truly reliable, compassionate, and professional — I’m so grateful for her help and would recommend them to anyone!”
“Melinda took great care of Cash! He was happy to see us, but we could tell he was happy from the pictures Melinda took throughout her time with him! We are thankful for the care she took of our dog and our home!”
“Lisa was wonderful to work with! She took great care of our 2 cats while we were on vacation. We received daily updates with pictures. We would definitely book her again for any future visits!”
“Meredith was prompt and conscientious for every visit. Even with our very shy cats, she managed to get a picture of each one each day to reassure us that they were in good hands. Highly recommend.”
About: As a Star Sitter, I have a proven track record of providing a calm, safe, and fun home environment with a high level of attention and care. Because I work from home, your dog receives consistent supervision, multiple daily walks, and plenty of engagement throughout the day. We love hosting dogs - your pup will be treated like part of the family 💕 I intentionally host one dog at a time (or dogs from the same household) to maintain a safe, low-stress environment and provide individualized care. The dogs in my photos are past guests and are not present during your dog’s stay. Before You Book: Important Requirements To ensure a great experience for everyone, I only accept dogs who are: • Fully house trained • Friendly with humans (no history of aggression) • Able to safely pass other dogs on walks • Comfortable in a new environment (no destructive behavior or significant anxiety) • Able to sleep through the night If your dog has anxiety, reactivity, or behavioral challenges, please be transparent so I can determine if this is the right fit. New Clients • Meet & greet required • First-time bookings: a one night trial stay is strongly recommended before longer stays I am home based and am an avid walker, plenty of availability. Your dog would not be left alone for more than a few hours when I have to run out for errands or appointments. I’m a homebody! I live in a safe, quiet neighborhood in the north hills with flat, easy loops for walking. I also have a fenced in, flat backyard that dogs love to play in. I have a 12 year old son who loves dogs and will gladly play with your pup.
“Megan was amazing.... she fed my cats while we were away in Florida. She even brought in our mail for us. We loved the picture she sent us and knowing that our cats were fed & happy.”
About: I’ve always been a dog lover and both me and brother rescued Labrador early prior to the covid year. We love him so much and since I moved countries he now lives with my parents in India. I wear a paw on my necklace which is a memory that he is not far away and will always take care of my parents behind me. Zorro now sits on the dinner table and enjoys all family meals. As someone with medical training and a responsible active lifestyle, I am calm under pressure, highly dependable and attentive to routines, medications, special care needs and feeding schedule. Whether your pet is playful or prefer quiet companionship I’m happy to adapt to their personality and needs. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family 🐾 I relocated to Pittsburgh from Boston for my medical training this year. I thrive on a schedule and can work if we plan the days well in advance together. I will be open to taking care of your pet as needed and happy to coordinate a schedule for walks/boarding at my house with you. My partner and I are trustworthy, active, and organized, and we genuinely care about making your dog feel safe and loved while you're away from home. 🐾 I live in an apartment with my spouse who has grown up all around dogs as pets since he was a kid so we both love dogs but don’t have one of our own currently. Your pet is allowed on our sofa and enjoy the area of a one bedroom. If I am at your home, I will aim to make your pet feel as comfortable and stress free as possible while the owner is way by keeping a normal routine in their own home environment. I will carefully follow your instructions and communication is very important to me, so I can provide regular updates , photos and check-in to help the owner feel reassured. As someone with a medical background I am very attentive to details and safety.
About: I have been around dogs since I was 3, when my family got our first dog. We had two dogs total over the span of 23 years and I had strong bonds with both of them, for different reasons. When we lost our second dog in 2022, my neighbors asked me if I would want to watch their golden retriever later that year and since then, I’ve been dogsitting for that family as well as another neighbor. It’s been a great way to get my source of dog love without taking on full responsibility of getting a pup of my own. No major special skills here, but I’ve got a lot of love to give to the canine members of your family, should they be willing to accept it. I’ve yet to meet a dog that doesn’t like me, or is obviously nervous around me, and my family calls me a bit of a dog whisperer for that reason alone. Once you meet me, it will become even more apparent how much I love dogs, and how excited I will be to take care of yours. I currently work full time but am on a hybrid schedule. I have availability in the mornings and evenings to feed and walk your pets. Weekends are flexible. I do not currently have any of my own pets but I’ve had two dogs growing up. I currently sit for two dogs in my neighborhood as well as some of my relative’s dogs. I make sure they have the correct food and enough water, make sure they take any necessary medicine, take them on at least one walk a day but will take them on more if time allows and they seem interested. I will also focus on their enrichment and make sure they have plenty of play time.
“Abigail is great! Our young Chihuahua (also named Abigail) is very leery of new people. Abigail took the time to get to know her and build trust. To us that is priceless. Our dog also has Addison's disease, and it is comforting to know Abigail is a nurse and comfortable giving her needed daily meds. We highly recommend her even if it means sharing her with others. You won't regret choosing her to care for your beloved pets.”

Marissa was amazing with my Pup Splash. He can be a nervous boy and she was very patient with him and he warmed up to her in no time. He is also deaf and Marissa took the time to learn his signs so that she could communicate with him. I felt very confident with Marissa caring for Splash and will definitely be hiring her again!!
Emily is very kind, friendly, and easygoing. During our meet and greet she was extremely attentive and asked questions. Emily provided daily pictures and communicated frequently. We were very happy with the care our dog received. I would definitely book her again!

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 Allison Park 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.

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 Allison Park with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
