“CK was great with my dog and cat, and very communicative! He was even able to come back and check on the animals later than planned when we were delayed coming home. Would definitely book again!”


“My first time using Ericka to watch my dog Toby and I'm very pleased with the job she did. She sent me pictures of Toby each day which I enjoyed receiving. Toby requires eye drops 5 times per day so it's a bit of work to care for him. Also pleased that the house was in good order when I returned. I hope to use Ericka again in the future.”



“Natalie tackled the task of watching our 5 animals in our home while we were on vacation. I’m a bit of a nervous wreck when it comes to our fur babies but I fully trust Natalie and can tell she absolutely loves animals! She did a wonderful job and we will absolutely be rebooking her for our next trip!”


“There are not enough words to explain how amazing and truly incredible Heather is!!! We have 4 dogs with 4 different personalities and needs. It was instant love for her by them! It would be your dogs loss if you don’t use her services! She’s an amazing person and true dog lover!”


“Mariah was awesome! From the moment she met our dog I knew she would be a good fit—Stella was at ease and loved her. You could tell from the pictures she sent that Stella and the cats were happy and comfortable and that she was taking great care of them. 10/10 would definitely book again!”


“Maddi was awesome to have watch our senior pups! She was so thorough and kind and I felt very quickly at ease with our dogs in her care. Would highly recommend anyone considering care for their fur babes to book with her and I personally hope to have her again with our pups the next time we need a sitter!”


About: Because I’m in medical school I have a unique perspective on pet care in the sense that I am calm, thorough, and empathetic! I also have a dog of my own with medical needs so I am equipped to care for any pet. I’ve had large dogs, small, dogs, cats, and fish all my life and I would love to help care for your pets too:) I’m currently in medical school so my schedule varies during the weekdays (which I will frequently update) but I can come swing by to take on walks, check-ins, or house-sit. I have most weekends free as well. I am experienced in caring for food aggressive pets, dog-aggressive pets, as well as medically needy pets. I can take large dogs 100+ lbs on leashed walks as well as play in yards with them. I love animals and I know how to keep everyone safe and happy:)

“Sydney did an AMAZING job watching our dogs. We have one reactive dog and there was some tension in our house between dogs, plus two have medical needs. so I was so so nervous to leave them. Sydney followed all my instructions and she even watched for signs of tension, healthy play, etc. Truly above and beyond—she spent a ton of time at my house and I came back to very happy dogs. Would definitely recommend her to folks like me with dogs that require a sitter who pays extra attention and care!”

About: I've been the go-to sitter for my family for years because they know how much I love to be around animals. I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have two cats who are my whole heart, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to care for you furry family when you are away. I am a freelance artist and am usually doing various creative projects in the Pittsburgh area. Which gives me a very flexible schedule to focus on pet care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in, or overnight care, I can usually accommodate short notice and regular routines. I'm happy to work with your pets specific schedule to keep things consistent and stress free. I provide most of my care in the client’s home to keep pets comfortable in their own environment and maintain their usual routine. Whether it’s walking, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. In my own home, I can only accommodate small dogs who are cat-friendly, since I have two cats of my own. Their well-being and yours are always my top priority.

“Sent pictures, followed instructions, my animals and my house have little particulars that she listened to well, too! My house was clean, animals were well taken care of and happy when I got back ❤️ Would recommend Cayla and will use again! Thanks again.”


“Regan is great! She was super communicative and made sure all was well with our senior diabetic cat who needs shots twice a day and our hyper young cattle dog. Very grateful for her!”


“David was a great sitter for our two cats. He stayed the weekend and the cats were well cared for and our house was in perfect condition when we came home. He sent us pics and updates while we were away which were appreciated. Would totally recommend David to other people looking for a caring and attentive pet sitter!”


“Jess was amazing! She had her hands full watching over one of our newer household members who likes to get in trouble all the time non-stop (like eating incense and soy milk - silly dog!). I appreciated the communication she kept while I was away and sending photos of my furry family. Jess was thorough with taking notes about my special needs pets. I feel she shared love and attention with them during her stay; and I know my pet family adored her staying with them while I was away. I highly recommend Jess and look forward to having her take care of my fur babies again.”


About: I was born into a family with a dog and have had a dog in my life ever since! Now I have a 7 year old pittie mix who is my whole world. I trained her and continue to do so to help her acquire new skills or just for mental stimulation. While I was a late-in-life cat lover, I now have 2 cats of my own who i cant imagine life without. Over the years I’ve had many friends, family, and coworkers trust me with their fur babies whether it was for a single walk, a feeding and play time, or stay overs while they were gone. I even have experience administering medicine to special needs animals. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your needs. Usually I am free in the mornings and afternoons. Evenings are tougher for me, but we can make something work! I will always want to do a meet and greet before caring for your animal whether I’m providing a walk or a staying with your fur baby over night. I want to make sure I’m the best fit and that you feel comfortable with your pet in my hands. I will defer to you in terms of safety and care (beyond the basics) as you know your pet best. As I get to know your pet, I’ll understand their preferences and triggers which will allow me to provide them with the best care.

“Traisaun is great. We have 4 active cuddly animals and even when we come home they will go and see if Traisaun is still here! He clearly treats your pets the way you would treat them (and sometimes even better because he puts up with more antics than I do!)”


“Alyssa did a fantastic job watching our dog Thor when we went out of town for an extra long weekend. She showed up on time, excited and prepared for the visit. Sent pictures and updates a few times everyday, which gave us peace of mind. We will be using her again in the future.”


“Alex was so patient and accommodating with our older, anxious dog. He was also very communicative with updates and questions. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing our pup was in good hands. Will definitely book again!”

Arlington pet parents share their Rover experiences
Collin was a wonderful sitter. He was funny, gave great belly rugs to Courage from the pictures, and provided regular updates. He also was available on very short notice! I highly recommend him to anyone in the future! Courage and Bagheera were both happy and tired up on my return!

Aidan was an INCREDIBLE sitter for my cat and dog! He was always super communicative and friendly during his stay. Aidan sent regular pictures and updates while I was gone which allowed me to really enjoy my time away on vacation. He followed my instructions to the letter and left my house spotless when I can back. I can’t recommend Aidan enough and will definitely be using his services in the future!

This was Alexis’s second time house-sitting for us, and once again we returned to a spotless home and a happy, well-cared-for pet. She kept us updated with regular photos and timely text messages, always proactive and thoughtful. Alexis is by far the most reliable sitter we’ve ever had, and we wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone looking for excellent pet care.

Trai was just awesome. We booked him for a week long vacation with our giant breed dog and he was great. The house was cleaned up, he was always super easy to communicate with, and even sent this crazy dog mom pictures! He’s just so nice and easy to work with. I can’t say enough about him! I worry he’ll be too booked when I need him again because he is one of the best!

Julia was the best cat-sitter we could have imagined! Our cat is rather shy with new people, but she snuggled up to Julia for pets right on the first day. Julia house-sitted our place while we were on a longer trip, and it was great to see that our cat enjoyed her time without us and was not stressed at all when we came back. I warmly recommend Julia and would have her take care of our cat any time again.

Ellie stayed at our place for 3 weeks while we were in the UK. She was an exceptional sitter and house guest. Being over seas it was comforting to know our slightly older dogs were in great hands! Her updates were helpful and the house was in great shape when we got back. We would definitely book Ellie again!
