About: I love dogs and grew up with them! Though I don't have the space for them now, I've been missing some puppy playtime! Both of my parents are vets as well, so I'm also pretty well versed in all things pet care! I do work full-time, but a lot of my job can be done from home depending on the amount of notice I have before discussing that with my boss. That being said my weekends are pretty open as well as the occasional monday. I typically work from home every other monday! I love all animals! Growing up I had 2 dogs and then foster failed 2 cats! Those 2 cats currently live with my parents, but I'm bringing them up here when I move into my own place. Both of my roommates also have cats!
“Cailynn was so great with our puppy!! She was always super quick to respond and super flexible with her schedule to make sure she could make time for him. A bonus she always got the silliest pictures of our guy . Highly recommend”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs and have always been comfortable caring for them. When I got my own cat I made sure to learn the basics of care so he could be a happy and healthy boy. I am patient, attentive, and really enjoy spending time with animals. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine since I have a cat of my own. I feed, play with, and care for Kris everyday. I genuinely enjoy making sure my cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. He is literally my best friend and I look forward to taking care of him as much as he takes care of me. I make sure to follow each pets routine, I want to make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible. In my apartment I keep things clean and safley put away. I check for fresh clean water often and make sure to feed each pet at the required time.
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I have two cats of my own and started Rover because I truly miss having a dog around and love spending time with animals. I work full-time, but picked up Rovering to make some extra cash and also fullfill a dog-sized whole in my heart from living with them my whole life. I am available anytime after 4pm on weekdays and all hours on weekends. Because I have two cats at home, I currently only offer care in my clients’ homes. I always try to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs and want them to feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have trained my pets well, I will care and make sure they get the things they need. I want to leave your best friends in the best hands. I have random school hours near my home. I am available mostly evenings and weekends and even most mornings I can check on the animals. We have a dog that could keep your animal company, we also have done up basement if your pet prefers to be alone. We have an open back yard, so we'll just keep a leash on the pet when outside.
“Allicia was wonderful!!! My pets instantly felt at ease with her. She was reliable, sent daily -really cute photos(she could be a pet photographer ?)!! and communicated throughout the service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I'm a Carnegie Mellon alumni and Floridian transplant who decided to stay and settle in the Burgh. I've volunteered with animals since I was 14, and up until a year ago, I was running my own rescue. I began pet sitting to help pay vet bills for the strays I took in. I have specialized largely in neonatal and senior care, including administering medicine, facilitating special diets, and offering personalized enrichment (including socialization for ferals). I also fed, rehabilitated, vaccinated, and spayed street dogs while living in Mexico. I work from home, and I plan my schedule around the animals in my life. I'm usually able to adapt my weekly responsibilities around whatever is needed for each household. While in a client's home, I'm careful to follow all provided instructions closely and always ask for clarification if I'm unsure. Also, I'm happy to assist with small home tasks like bringing in the mail or watering your plants as needed.
“Second time using Heather and she was great! She gave detailed updates every day and did everything I asked! We will continue to use Heather each time we need a kitty sitter :)”
About: I am a young professional violinist based in Pittsburgh, and I have spent many breaks home from school dog-sitting around my neighborhood. Whether it‘s walks or giving pets, being around animals brings me so much joy and I would love to keep dog-sitting while I build my career as a musician. As a gigging musician, I have a flexible schedule based around performances, lessons, and auditions. My schedule can vary week to week, but I am almost always squeeze in walks and drop-ins according to my daily availability. My experience with sitting has included home-stays, dropping in multiple times a day, and just going for walks; I am comfortable with all of these options and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with dogs!
“Mary was amazing with our two dogs, who are quite the characters! She provided pictures every visit and a wonderful note to describe how the dogs were doing. We will certainly be reaching out again next time we go out of town! We 100% recommend Mary!”
“I booked Divya to check in on my cat daily for a week while I was on vacation. She was very dependable and really went the extra mile in making sure Kyle was happy and looked after. I'd absolutely work with her again!”
“Amanda provided excellent care for my cat while I was away, with daily updates and photos. I highly recommend her. If I ever need a cat sitter in the future, I plan to rebook.”
“Im trying to find a sitter for my vacation and have been looking everywhere in west mifflin area, south. I also have been taking my dogs to homes to watch them while away, I am newly divorced and my dogs have always gone everywhere with us, but this year as I have them on my own would be too much for one person. I found Alyssa and had no reviews but was in West Mifflin area and does house sitting. This would be a score, but with no reviews very hesitant. Both my dogs have had TPLO surgery and my oldest has a slight neck issue. Our first encounter was a video call. We talked quite some time and I automatically felt at ease. Alyssa is personable, and seems very genuine. We set up a drop in as I left to meet a friend. When Alyssa came to my home, my dogs loved her. Parker even did his under leg walk on her. I felt at ease with my dogs being watch, but also felt my home was in good hands as well. We are working with Alyssa for more visits in the next month until I leave for vacation to become acclimated. My dogs are my kids and think they are human. They have been thru alot with me and I am very particular of who watches my dogs so this is a huge win for us.”
“Kaylah is great! This was my first booking with her and I found her to be kind, reliable and attentive to detail. She was also very flexible when I had some unexpected changes to my schedule, which I appreciated. I am new to the area and have some travel coming up in the future - it's a relief to know that someone like Kaylah is nearby to take care of my kitties while I am away.”
“Andrew was reliable and communicative for each visit. We got pictures of all of our pup’s activities and he managed our teething puppy. Will definitely come back to him in the future!”
“Thank you Hayden! She went above and beyond my expectations caring for Lola. I am one of "those" dog mom's and she made me feel completely at ease. I look forward to booking Hayden again!”

Lucas was excellent with all of our animals! Not only did he care for everyone expertly but he left the sink and pet dishes clean and orderly (not expected but very much appreciated!). He also handled medication for our elderly cat, which is a sigh of relief for when we go on weekend adventures and short trips (something we used to not be able to do before finding helpers such as Lucas :) ).
Tracie is incredibly reliable and I love that she sends lots of pics. Tracie can buy before our arranged sitting time to meet the dogs. I have two dogs- one of whom can be intimidating with her bark. Tracie was completely unfazed and my dog warmed to her immediately. Highly recommend.
Tony has been a consistent high performer when it comes to the care of our dog. I appreciate how in tune he is with our dogs' needs. He not only provides basic care giving, but also love and affection for our pup in my family's absence. I highly recommend him.
Valerie did a wonderful job watching Archie! She kept me updated with regular texts and sent pictures, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Archie was well cared for and happy the whole time. I would absolutely recommend Valerie and would gladly book with her again!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Braddock stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Braddock 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.

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.
