About: With over 17 years of experience caring for my Schnoodle, Heinz, I’ve learned how to provide dogs with the love, attention, and exercise they need. Whether your dog is full of energy or enjoys a slower pace, I tailor each walk to their unique personality. I’m experienced in senior dog care, ensuring your dog is comfortable and safe. Your furry friend will be treated like family, with walks full of fun and care! I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate ample time to walking and caring for your dog. Whether it’s daily walks or occasional care, I can adjust my availability to suit your needs. Your pup will get the attention and exercise they deserve! I prioritize your dog’s safety and comfort during walks. I ensure they are always in a safe environment, away from traffic and hazards. With years of experience as a pet owner, I know how to handle dogs of all temperaments. I’ll make sure your dog feels secure, happy, and well-cared for at all times.
“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.”
“Absolutely great - everyone was happy and relaxed when we got home, outdoor plants were watered, and our boy cat was not in a sulk. House was spotless, communication was great, I hate writing this review because everyone is going to book him up and we won't be able to.”
“Darra was great with Boon - she was reliable and communicated with us the whole time that we were away. She was the perfect houseguest as well, leaving our house cleaner than we left it! All in all we had a great experience and we would recommend her to anyone.”
“Tessa was great with our boys while we were away. She communicated everything really well with us and sent us daily update pictures. Will definitely be using her again next time we are going out of town.”
“Alexis was very attentive to my snowball's needs,she took her outside and played with her during the day I really appreciated that she is so flexible...I liked her so so much I booked her for the 18th of May. she is extremely nice and I would definitely recommend her to watch your furry baby..”
“Sadie was great. She was available last minute to watch our dog over a holiday weekend and was able to do a meet and greet within a short amount of time. Sadie took great care of our dog, Schenley while we were away.”
“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!”
“Elise watched our 8 month old Pomeranian Sonny overnight. We received updates and pictures. She took him for walks and played fetch. You can tell she truly loves animals. I’m happy we found someone we can trust to watch out little guy.”
About: Hi, I am Mamie (I have gone by Mamie since birth but am technically named Mary) and I have had dogs, cats, and many smaller critters throughout my life, and my own pets for over 25 years. My mother was a vet tech and I grew up rescuing many animals, and continued that tradition into adulthood, so I have ample experience in a multitude of pet types and situations I work as a housekeeper around the Pittsburgh area from about 7am-3pm mon-thursday, so will not be available in the home or for potty breaks during those hours. The absolute longest I would leave a pet during a house-sitting is 8 hours on those days. All other outings/errands would be less than four hours, tops, but usually only about an hour. I am comfortable with more or less any pet, from rodents to lizards and I am not squirmish about even the creepy crawlies and slithery noodles. I can and have given almost every kind of medication there is, including subcutaneous injections, and am comfortable doing so with care and compassion and confidence. I am just starting out with professional pet sitting on Rover, I did it years ago in Seattle as a side gig on my own with Craigslist posts, and have had a couple gigs on here so far. I am clean, responsible, and trustworthy. I will only take jobs with a meet and greet beforehand, and you can get a feel for my vibe and professionalism at that time, but I am sure you will like me and feel comfortable having me in your home. As a housekeeper I am used to going into strangers homes and having a high level of integrity and care for their space and belongings. I also am very clean and fastidious. I keep things looking like I wasn't there as much as possible, and will clean litter boxes daily and change water bowls daily and do deep cleans of water fountains 1x a week. I work as a housekeeper from 7am-3pm mon-thursday around the greater Pittsburgh area. If you have multiple dogs who need round the clock supervision and you book me at least three weeks before the sitting start date, than we could work that out and I could block out my housekeeping schedule for that time and just be available for the sitting job (my rates will be increased in this situation as I am priced for my current availability, not constant care and being unable to make my normal wages during the sit). I don't do sitting in my own home since I have two cats and a husband and no fenced in yard. In clients homes I am respectful, clean, tidy, responsible and trustworthy. I mind my business and am not judgemental. I will spend lots of time loving and socializing your pets, and I set alarms and try to keep potty breaks frequent to avoid accidents and less stress.
“Liz exceeded my expectations. While we were away, she gave us frequent updates on Magoo. Magoo was happy and the house was just as we left it. Would reach out to Liz again in a heartbeat.”
“We are so grateful to have had Allison stay with our Corgi while we were away for a week. Our dog has anxiety and typically becomes very stressed while we are away, but Allison stayed at our home, followed his usual routine as closely as possible, and made sure to give him some extra love. She would check-in with us daily to let us know how things were going and would ask questions if she was unsure of something. She was respectful with our home and belongings and made sure to leave things nice and tidy for our return. As someone who tends to leave a lot of instructions when it comes to staying with our dogs, I can’t recommend Allison enough! She truly made us feel comfortable that she had things under control so that we could enjoy our vacation.”
“Sydney kept us up to date with communication and pics… she made sure our 1 dog was medicated and in her thunder jacket to help keep her calm thru bad thunderstorms went thru town several days in a row… Highly recommend her, tried to book her again but she did not have dates availably Thnx Sydney”
“Grace is reliable and accommodating. She communicates as much as desired and, as a bonus, takes stellar videos. My pups were happy to have her take care of them.”

Matthew L.
“Matthew has provided outstanding care for my three senior dogs—Buddy, Hank, and Carleigh. Each of them had unique needs, and Matthew handled every one of them with incredible attention and compassion. Carleigh needed help navigating stairs, Buddy required medication at specific times, and Hank was very sensitive to changes in routine. Matthew took the time to understand their individual personalities and medical needs, and he always made sure they were safe, comfortable, and loved. He’s thoughtful, reliable, and has a gentle, intuitive way with older dogs that’s hard to find. I never had to worry when Matthew was with them. He doesn’t just care for pets—he advocates for them. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for truly exceptional care, especially for senior dogs.”

Mary S.
“I'm delighted to recommend Mary S. as a pet sitter on Rover. Having watched her grow up caring for our multiple cats and dog, plus numerous foster animals, I can confidently say she has a natural gift with animals. Mary genuinely "speaks cat" - she understands their unique personalities and body language, treating each one as an individual. She's particularly attuned to pets experiencing anxiety or depression, knowing exactly how to comfort them and meet them where they're at. What sets Mary apart is her medical knowledge and experience. Growing up in a veterinary household, she learned to administer subcutaneous fluids, manage diabetic pets with insulin injections, and recognize when a pet needs professional care. She combines this technical expertise with genuine warmth - during playtime, she gets down on their level and makes every pet feel special. Dogs adore her just as much as cats do. She's safety-conscious, responsible, and has that rare quality of making animals feel instantly comfortable. Mary is completely reliable - she won't skip anything in your pet's routine - and she's great about keeping owners updated with pictures and messages so you'll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Whether your pet needs specialized medical care or just lots of love and attention, Mary will treat them like family. She's exactly the kind of person I'd trust with my own pets. Eileen A. M.S.

Jen is amazing with cats! Our cats bonded with her easily. She thoughtfully took care of all their needs and sent detailed updates every day. She helped with household tasks too. The cats seemed so calm when we returned. We will definitely request to book her the next time we travel.

Natalie was great with my senior dog. Being my only “child” combined with her age and some health issues I am very detailed with my instructions and Natalie handled it all with grace. She provided the perfect amount of communication along with pictures each day. Our flight home was cancelled and Natalie immediately offered to help by staying overnight again if need be. That was such a relief that my dog would be cared for when it was uncertain when we’d be home. Would love to book Natalie 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!
Chelsea was absolutely outstanding! She was incredibly responsive, punctual, kind, and professional. She even came for a meet-and-greet to help our pup feel comfortable and stayed longer than scheduled to ensure she was okay. Flexible, caring, and clearly passionate—highly recommend!
Katelyn was AMAZING! It was our first time doing an in home sit but she was so accommodating with coming to meet them first and get comfortable around them. They warmed up to her immediately and were snuggled up to her the whole time. She sent frequent updates and was so quick with her responses. We will deff be using her again!! Thank you Katelyn :)
Malik was awesome! He went above and beyond to watch our dog and home while we were away for the week. Pablo had a great time and we could tell he was happy while we were gone. Even though he’s high need and has lots of health issues, Malik took care of him so well that even with the stress of us being away, Pablo’s ailments continued to improve. Don’t hesitate to book with Malik!
Alyssa was such a great cat sitter! Our cat has a weird medicine routine, and Alyssa was able to help us out. Not only that, but we even learned new techniques on how to administer meds from her! While we were away, Alyssa was communicative and always sending cutie pics of our sweet girl. Would highly recommend!
Alexis is such a responsible and respectful pet sitter -- I can't say enough about her! She brought all the character out of our rambunctious dog Sora and he was so well taken care of during our most recent trip. She updated us multiple times each day with pictures and notations explaining what was going on. She asked for permission to feed him special treats that she had on hand and even took special precautions on hot days to assure that he was pleased with his setting. I highly recommend Alexis to anyone in need of a great honest pet sitter.
Grace was wonderful! Great communication and updates leading up to and during my vacation. I have a very anxious dog who takes numerous medications and Grace spent the time to allow Ginny to warm up and she was able to administer her meds throughout the stay. I will definitely be using Grace again for ny next trip!
