“Jordyn did a great job with our border collie! She was communicative, sent great pictures, and Banjo really enjoyed the yard and porch. I would absolutely recommend her and we’re thankful we can have someone to rely on in Pittsburgh.”
“Sam was fantastic. Extremely sweet, open, prepared, and passionate about caring for Winter. Made it easy to leave her for the first time. Anybody’s dog is in good hands with Sam.”
“Jason was great. He cared for our 2 dogs (one senior, one active 5 year old) with such great attention and care. Not to mention he did this all on Christmas Day. Thank you, Jason. It was great working with you!”
About: Hi! It’s just Libby! I don’t know how to get Stephen off my profile but I’ve had a dog in my life since childhood and I LOVE them. I have fostered in the past and have missed dogs so much. My job requires me to travel a bit so I have resorted to Rover to get my pup fix! I can handle any dog and will make sure they are snuggled and loved to the fullest while also cared for adequately. I work remotely full time but have lots of time to go on walks and take care of pups overnight. My week changes from week to week but know when I travel for work a couple weeks ahead at least so should know when I am available. I will adhere to anything you want me to. I follow directions very well and am a bit of a perfectionist. I’ll make sure you dog or dogs are taken care of and loved.
“Tyler was great with my dog Riley! She immediately took to his house and yard, as well as Tyler himself. He was flexible in terms of scheduling a meet-and-greet that was kinda last minute and was professional. He also provided plenty of photo updates of Riley throughout the stay. Overall, I would definitely use Tyler again for dog sitting.”
“Joe took good care of our pup Poe while we were away. He and Vanessa, his boys, and his dog Pickle all gave Poe a very warm and welcoming reception! He was very attentive to all the care details I communicated, and we appreciated how he sent us lots of photos and videos during her stay. Poe was in great spirits when we picked her up, and we plan on booking with Joe again in the future!”
“She stated her and Sadie ended up at the dog park 4 times during their visit. She sent us photos and we were overall satisfied with Sadie’s stay! Thank you again!”
“Mandie was EXCELLENT!!! I've never left my dog with someone I didn't know, or that had another dog. The whole experience was a bit scary for me but Mandie assured me they would be okay. By the time I was due to return, I wasn't sure GiGi would want to come home :) She had a great time and now if I mention Izzy, she gets excited. Daily Pictures were great. No dog of mine will ever go to a business again when I'm out of town. Thank you Mandie and Izzy!!”
“AJ was fantastic! Incredibly responsive both when inquiring about the booking as well as when Mr. Puggles was in his care. He did great with the special attention my older dog needs and was a pleasure to have watch him. I would highly recommend AJ and I will absolutely rebook him when the time comes next.”
“Emily and her family were wonderful with Daisy. They sent lots of photos and updates during her stay and were very attentive to her needs. We will definitely be asking them to watch Daisy again.”
About: I’m from LA, where I worked for a dog hiking service where we started each morning with a group hike, came back home for daycare, and boarded dogs overnight. I love all dogs, big + small, and know how important it is for them not just to be well taken care of, but happy! Now it’s just me and my dog (Micho) in Pittsburgh exploring the trails around the city, and we would love to bring your pup along! As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule + take multiple walks a day, short hikes a couple times a week, and longer day trips on the weekends. Because I only take one dog at a time, my time will be completely devoted to your dog for one-on-one play, walks, snuggling, and everything in between.
“Alexis was very responsive and was always in contact. She sent a ton of pics of my 1 year old puppy while she was with them. She was flexible with the drop off and pick up times which helped me out a lot. My puppy seemed to have a great time.”
“Malik did a great job watching our dog Wilbur while we were in town for a wedding! We’d definitely recommend him and would use him again anytime we’re in Pittsburgh :)”
“Nick was available at the last minute and took very good care of my picky and quirky dog. Nick sent pictures and messages to let me know how Chewy was doing. I would definitely use Nick again!”
“Lisa was so fantastic!!! She took care of our little guy like he was one of her own pets. She kept me updated with how he was doing and sent several pictures during his stay. I could not have been happier with our experience! If we ever take a trip again, I would not hesitate to book with Lisa again!!”
“Valerie is awesome with our little pup Whiskey. Val is always sharing photos and videos of our lil guys day. We feel so trusted in leaving our pup in the hands of Val as we know he’s in great hands and will get the attention he gets when he’s with us. Love having Whiskey taken care of by Val when mom and dad have to be away.”
“Annette was lovely and caring to both Gustavo and me. Delays in flights meant I was 7 hours late in getting to Gus. Annette graciously dealt with this inconvenience. She was always quick to respond to communications. Most importantly, Gus clearly felt at home and welcomed from the minute she greeted him. When I picked him up, he was clearly comfortable with Annette. Thank you.”

We have used Shanna twice to watch our dogs and have had a great experience each time. What we like most is how attentive Shanna is with our dogs and with making us and them feel totally at ease while in her care. She sends pictures throughout their stay and gives updates so we can see how they are doing. We would recommend Shanna and I'm sure we'll have her watch our dogs again in the future (Beagle and Aussie).
Tri is an amazing sitter! From the moment our dog met her, he chose her. And that was an early indicator that she was the one. She is very smart in her care for dogs and kind, loving, and fun in her interactions with them. This was so important to us as we chose her to be our very first sitter after a thorough search. Her home is a great environment to care for dogs, and she maintains it beautifully. We are going to hire her every chance we get, and you should, too!
This was the first time leaving our dog with a sitter so we were a little nervous about whether he’d be ok, if he’d miss us & be anxious, etc. I told Amy our concerns & she assured us all would be good & it so was! Our baby had the best time! She does doggy day care as well so Augs had so many friends to play with. She was very communicative- not only answered my messages in a timely manner but sent me her own as well with lots of pics. We would definitely use her services again if needed. Thank you Amy!
Somdipa watched my Boston terrier, Dude, while I went on vacation for a week, and everything went great! I felt confident that he was well taken care of the whole time. Dude didn't want to leave, so I could tell he had a fun time. Would be very happy to have Somdipa watch Dude again in the future!
We are so grateful for the amazing care Frodo received! From the very beginning, we felt completely at ease. She kept us updated, was attentive to his routines, and truly treated him like part of her family. Frodo looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It means so much to leave your dog somewhere and feel peace instead of worry — and that’s exactly how we felt. Thank you for loving him like we do. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter. 🐾💛
Alexa did an amazing job taking care of my dog. She was kind, reliable, and very attentive, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Communication was smooth, and it was clear she genuinely cares about animals. I really appreciated her help and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!
