She’s attentive and sends pictures to us, keeping us up to date on how he’s eating and just doing in general. Definitely recommend lauren to take care of your fur babies! ?”

“Did such an amazing job with my puppy! She was very helpful and gave some great tips and knowledge about dogs ◡̈ looking forward to being able to have her watch my dog again!”

About: I grew up with cats but have rescued many cats and dogs over the years. I've rescued kittens, adults, and senior animals alike. I have loved many pets through old age, administer medicine, and loved them beyond their last breath. I currently have 3 cats and 1 dog. I am a teacher who is off in the summer time. My schedule is flexible through August. During the school year, I am available on the weekends. I have rescued many animals, helping them get acclimated to their new setting. I rescued a half-starved kitten, keeping her in a separate room for months, giving her special care until she thrived. I have had senior pets and cared for a cat and dog through cancer, administering medicine. I have rescued a dog applying the 3-3-3 rule. I currently have a special needs cat who needs medicine twice a day.
“Jessi is amazing! She is so reliable and responsible and clearly LOVES dogs. I get a complete report and lots of pictures after she walks Yogi. I highly recommend her!”


“Nikki was our best rover booking yet!!! She came over three times this week for lunchtime walks. She was super attentive and even gave us some recommendations on how to keep him entertained. Nikki is very knowledgeable and caring, especially with little puppies. Would highly recommend booking her.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over four years and currently have four dogs of my own, ranging from giant breeds to my small Corgi, Zeek. Having a variety of dogs has given me experience with different personalities, energy levels, and temperaments. I’m comfortable caring for playful puppies, energetic dogs, and seniors who need extra patience and attention. I also volunteered at the Humane Society, where I gained experience working with dogs from many different backgrounds and learned the importance of providing compassionate, individualized care. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets, and I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are safe and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a calm companion, I will treat them like one of my own and provide plenty of love, attention, and updates throughout their stay. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of playtime, potty breaks, attention, and love while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I believe every dog deserves individualized care, patience, and plenty of affection. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering medications, and accommodating any special needs or routines. I provide a clean, loving, and stress-free environment and will keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.
About: I have had pets since I was a young child. My childhood dog was named Kramer and he had medical issues with which I was responsible in learning his care. I have had my oldest cat since I was 11 years old (he is currently 16) and he requires daily medication and weekly injections. I have other cats who I care for full time and I assist in caring for my parent’s dog. I have babysat a newborn kitten for a week before, feeding her from a bottle every 2 hours, helping her poo, and keeping her safe. My one cat, Scruff, who has since passed away, was diabetic and I was responsible for giving him insulin twice a day. I’ve even cared for two hamsters for about 3 months. I have watched over birds before and I even have a pet tarantula who I care for. Overall I have a lot of experience in caring for pets and I treat any animal with the most care and respect. I am always able to find time! I do work a full-time job as a behavioral health therapist, so pets that can not be left alone for more than an average work day won’t be the best fit for me! However, I am always free on the weekends. I live in an apartment with two cats. The neighborhood is very walkable, but the apartment would not be suitable for a high energy dog.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life. My family has cared for many breeds of dogs including a Rottweiler, Great Dane, German Shepherd, Yorkie, and Chihuahua. I am the first person my friends and family come to when their pets need care. I have several years of experience walking, feeding, and giving pets lots of love and attention. I am currently a college student and will have lots of time to spend time with your pet. I am available in the afternoon/night and all day on the weekends. While caring for your pet, my time and attention will be completely devoted to their individual needs. While providing services at your home, my focus and priority will be on your pet as if they were my own.

About: My name is Miranda, and I am an animal lover with previous pet sitting experience looking to help take care of your cute critter in your absence! I have extensive experience with cat ownership and pet sitting, including senior and medically complex felines. I also have some experience with pet sitting for dogs and other small pets, like birds and fish. If you are in the Pittsburgh area and are looking for someone kind, trustworthy, dedicated, and caring to look after your animal, I am here to help! :) I have very free availability at the moment, as I run my own business for work and make my own hours! Pet care is actually the crux of my personal daily routine. My own cute critter, my cat Flower, keeps me quite occupied at home, whether it's feeding her on schedule, giving her lots of playtime, or just snuggling up for some brushing. Rest assured, I'll treat your furry family member as if they were my own. I would love to have an introduction meeting with you, virtual or in-person, so we can discuss your pet's needs, preferences, and schedule! Every pet is different, and it is very important that I understand your cute critter's individual personality so I can give them the quality care they deserve. During the introductory meeting, I will be sure to ask specifics about diet and medication, as well, so that no changes are made to their regular routine. I work hard to be timely and courteous by keeping pet owners updated about their cute critters while away, and will always make sure to include some pictures for you to enjoy! I make sure that I am accessible around the clock in case any questions or concerns arise while you're away.
About: Hi! I’m Marah, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets while you’re away! I’m a responsible, dependable, and caring pet owner with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. As a dog and cat owner myself, I understand that pets are more than just animals — they’re family. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for them, follow their routine, and give them plenty of love and attention while you’re away. My experience comes from years of caring for my own dogs and cats and being responsible for their everyday needs. I’m comfortable with the many responsibilities that come with pet ownership, including: -Daily walks and exercise -Playing, interacting, and keeping pets entertained -Following specific feeding schedules and portions -Providing companionship and attention throughout the day -Maintaining a pet’s normal routine and comfort -Following medication instructions when needed I understand how important consistency is for animals, so I’ll work with you ahead of time to make sure the timing fits your pet’s routine and needs. I’m happy to communicate my availability clearly and plan visits, walks, or stays around my established schedule. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where I can keep pets comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, medications, and any other specific needs your pet may have. I’ll give them plenty of attention and companionship while you’re away. Since I’m a dog and cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I would want someone to give my own.
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs in a single parent household, so I did a lot of the work to take care of them and train them. Most recently, I helped raise a golden retriever, who is now one hundred and ten pounds of pure love. I find myself gravitating towards animals more than people at times and no matter where I am, if there is an animal around, we always seem to find our way to one another. I do currently work full-time. However, I am remote some days and off on weekends, so my schedule does allow for flexibility at this time. I would follow the guidance and rules set in place by the homeowner. One example could be ensuring a dog is leashed at all times while on a walk. Another could be sticking to feeding the animals. Only the food provided by the owner and understanding any dietary restrictions or allergies the animal may have.
About: Hello!! I've had my own cat since 2017 and am an avid stray feeder (and occasional trapper). I also volunteer at Kitty Queen Cat Rescue at least 2 days a week, usually doing morning cat care (but sometimes you can find me there during open hours). I feed all of the cats, replace water, scoop litter boxes, clean up whatever I might find, and give medication when needed. I encounter all different types of personalities and customize my approach to each one. I've been volunteering there since October 2025. I've also been pet sitting personally to friends since I was a teenager. I thoroughly enjoy taking care of animals and building trust with them, especially the shy ones. Truly nothing makes me happier than scooping 20 litter boxes with cats all around me. I also regularly take care of my friend's dog who is a spunky and reactive, but very sweet, terrier mix. I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to my own cat, so I will understand if you need consistent pictures or a FaceTime call to calm your nerves! I once drove home in a blizzard because I couldn't see my cat on my cameras (she was completely fine). I'm also working on getting my Fear Free Pet Sitter Certification as I believe in preventing as much fear, anxiety, and stress as possible in all pets. Furthermore, I don't believe in assigning spite or malice to any animals. They are all innocent creatures to me. <3 I'm currently only working part-time so I have a lot of time to take care of your pets!! I can do mornings, afternoons, evenings, etc. One of the things I pride myself on is not only taking care of your pet like I would my own, but also your home. I'm a neat freak so I promise to leave it better than I found it! My least favorite part of taking a trip is coming home knowing my apartment would be a mess due to my cat sitter just not really caring. Not with me!
About: I have had pets since I was 5 years old. I currently have three dogs of my own - a 12 year old male, a 10 year old female, and a 10 month old puppy. I have raised all of them since they were puppies. I also have 30+ years experience caring for cats. I am a local real estate agent, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I am available any day of the week for walks or drop in visits. I am available for drop-in visits for your dogs or cats. I have three dogs of my own, so I am used to walking and caring for dogs. I grew up with cats so I am comfortable with any feeding or cleaning needed.
About: I have a bit too much time on my hands and love animals. I've cared for dogs and cats for many years as a volunteer. I'm a complete pacifist and have too much love in my heart not to share it with more animals! I work part time in retail so my schedule is very variable. What's great about that is that I have availability all day some days! However, i don't have weekends off. I will treat your place with respect and cater to your pets' needs. They will be very loved and entertained. I don't offer my home for services.
About: Before Rover I didn’t have much experience with dogs if I’m being honest. The only experience I had prior with a dog was a baby pitbull and that was for about a year. That being said, despite the lack of experience I had, I have gained more experience from caring for dogs on Rover. My love for animals in general is why I am open to continue learning. I will still provide the same love, care and affection for a dog as I would a cat. My daily and weekly routine is very open for pet care. I am currently on maternity leave so I have lots of availability throughout my days. I treat them like their family and not strangers or “just for the money type of thing”. If the client has special requests as far as how they would want their pet taken care of, I would follow those requests and update the clients along the way.
About: Im a full time registered nurse looking to love on some puppies on the side. My dog is a 4lb yorkie mix who is spoiled and SO loved. I am available several days per week. I cant wait to walk and play with your dog in the setting of your choice (neighborhood, park, at your house or mine). I will tailor care to your dog's routines and likes. Experience with special needs dogs. I previously had a dog with three times daily medications and medical problems, so I am comfortable with those types of dogs. Also, I have reliable and safe transportation for your pooch. Please contact me anytime, day or night, with your requests or questions. I cant wait to meet you and your dog! I work full-time but willing to be flexible to your needs. My schedule changes weekly so I can be available for you. Let me know your needs. I am all about loving pups and kitties. I will never be mean or unkind to an animal. My own dog receives so much love and tender care!

My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable pet care while keeping your pet’s routine consistent. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care I would my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ben Avon Heights
Ashton is absolutely wonderful! She is definitely a dog person - seen by all of the pictures she sends and the great summary of how things went. My dog Mabel is high energy and working on training - Ashton is knowledgeable about keeping things consistent for Mabel and asked great questions to make sure she had all information to care for Mabel. Will definitely continue to book!

Grace was great with our little boy! Very responsive & detailed in her walks with Berni. He seemed to enjoy his walks very much, & he was clearly cared for. We would book Grace again, & recommend her to anyone looking for pet care. She was even flexible when our plans changed last minute, & we are thankful for that.
