“Our reluctant cat Robert is warming up to Lia. We appreciate the patience she has shown in letting him get more comfortable with her on his ow terms. River and Jack appreciate the extra love she gives them when she visits.”

“Olivia is awesome! She took care of my Maine Coons and two tabbies great!!! I’ll definitely be rebooking her! It was so nice to go out of town and enjoy the trip not worrying about my babies! ❤️”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. I’ve also been involved in animal rescue groups and have helped care for feral cat communities. I have two fur babies of my own, so I know how stressful it is to find someone trust worthy of caring for them. I currently work full time, so I am only available in the evenings and weekends. If you are in desperate need of a pet sitter I do have some flexibility to work remotely, but would need to give advanced notice. I respect other people’s property/ belongings, so you can rest assured I will treat your home with the utmost care along with your fur baby.
About: Hello! I work from home so, the dogs are under constant supervision. I will only be watching one dog at a time. I have a cat who likes to keep to herself. I presently work from home so I will be able to provide your puppers constant care. I love taking dogs on long walks around Lawrenceville! Fenced in backyard. pups will get plenty of exercise playing with me and going for walks. I understand the trust that owners are placing in me to care for their most loved pets and take that responsibility very seriously. I love and treat the dogs I watch as if they are my own🧡
“We loved having Denyal over to look after our very very shy cat. We always got prompt updates as she tried to make friends with our cat. (Who was stubbornly trying to hide from her. I will definitely hire her again!”
“Andrea has gone above and beyond for me during the first time neither my husband or I were around our cat. Leaving my cat for two weeks was nerve wracking but Andrea kept me at ease with constant communication and the cutest pictures. I will be using her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs & cats since could remember, around 10 years plus. I have pets of my own and they are my world. One dog named Luna and a black cat named bean! I own my own cleaning business and make my own schedule, which gives me a lot of flexibility\! This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your fur babies and work around their routines and needs\. 🐾 I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and locations whenever possible! I live in a safe & quiet neighborhood, in a apartment in Edgewood area. I love all animals and would treat yours like my own.
About: Hi! My name is Yanny and I am a reliable and attentive pet caregiver with strong observation and communication skills (a psychology degree helps with that!). Experienced following detailed instructions, maintaining schedules, and recognizing behavioral cues in our furry friends. I love walking animals and helping them maintain their health when owners are gone. My biggest priority is to make the animals feel safe and loved while owners are away! Im currently working a full time job at a school near the Pittsburgh area, so I afternoons, nights, and weekends to connect with animals and owners. I can easily drive to a clients house, and I’m very reliable and flexible when it comes to scheduling! If needed, I can always drive the pets to parks and open spaces to have a fun time as well. (My work will depend on the wants and needs of the clients!)
“Ashley was absolutely incredible! From the very beginning, she was responsive, easy to work with, and even offered a meet-and-greet, which made the entire process seamless. Our Lou is currently on medication, and Ashley had no problem administering it, she even covered it in peanut butter to make sure he took it! Our baby looked so happy in every photo she sent, and we loved the report card feature as well. Ashley truly went above and beyond by making an extra trip to check on Lou after he had gotten sick earlier that day, which gave us such peace of mind. We also have a cat, and Ashley was more than happy to help by leaving treats out for her too. We left a list of “to-dos,” and she completed everything exactly as requested. She was extremely respectful of both us and our home. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and will absolutely be using Ashley for all of our future trips. Highly recommend!”
“Thea is an amazing pet sitter and person! She goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is completely cared for and comfortable. We’ve found our sitter and won’t hesitate to use her again and again!!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have a Westie myself! Around 10 years ago I started watching my family and friend’s pets for vacation. I now do it year round and am hoping to add on some new ones! I’ve also done volunteering at animal friends. I have experience watching all types of breeds, sizes and ages of dogs. I’m excited to work with different breeds, personalities and enjoy the cuteness as well! I currently work full-time in healthcare, but I am still dog sitting & doing walks. I am available Monday-Friday in the evenings after 4:30p.m. For Saturday & Sunday I am available all day. For all the families I dog sit for, I always follow any directions closely they give me. I have dogs I watch that have medical needs so this has always been a top priority. My number one goal is to have fun with your pups and give them lots of love!
About: I have had pets all of my life. I also have extensive pet rescue experience with pets of all kinds and ages. I frequently foster animals and have a few “foster fails” that are now a permanent part of my family. I have 2 dogs and 1 cat that I spend time with all day. I am available most times of the day and I am excited to help your fur family members! I have experience with kenneling, ensuring gates and fences are secured, following best guidelines to avoid dog bloat, and understand the needs of reactive dogs and puppies ( along with non reactive dogs, of course).
About: I don’t just watch dogs, I genuinely love spending time with them. I’m the kind of person who gets excited to meet every dog I pass on a walk! My goal is to make your dog feel loved, comfortable, and stress free while you’re away. Whether your pup is energetic and loves adventures or prefers naps and cuddles, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and routine. You can expect lots of belly rubs, playtime, patience, and plenty of photo updates. I work Monday through Friday from 8–5, so my primary availability for pet care is during weeknights and weekends. I’m very intentional about dedicating that time to the pets in my care and adjusting my routine to accommodate their normal schedule, whether that means walks, feeding times, playtime, or simply keeping them company. Since being without my Golden, I’ve honestly felt a little emptiness in my day, which has made me realize even more how integral caring for dogs is to my life. Because of that, pet care is something I genuinely prioritize, and I want every pet I care for to feel comfortable, loved, and like their routine is being respected. I understand that every dog is different, just like people. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, boundaries, and communication style so I can adjust the way I interact with them based on what makes them feel most comfortable and secure. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or a client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely while paying attention to the dog’s individual responses and needs. My goal is never to force a dog to adapt to me, but to understand how I can best fit into their routine and earn their trust so they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owner is away.
About: I have owned and cared for dogs most of my lifetime. I'm responsible, loving and believe pets can bring joy to your everyday busy life.They become part of your family. I am a retired teacher and mom of twin teenage boys. I have plenty of time during the day to care for my furry friends. My current home does not have enough space for me to care for pets in my space, but I have np problem coming to yours.
About: I have taken care of all different kinds of dogs since high school and have grown up with cats! I love animals of all kinds and getting to know them. Most days I work from home so I will be there with your pet most of the day. I don’t have any other pets. I live in an apartment building with many green areas surrounding it and a fenced in dog area. It is a great space for dogs and there are other dogs that live in the building.
About: I have had 3 dogs of my own! An Australian Cattle Dog Mix, a Basenji mix, and a working line large breed German Shepherd, which I helped train in obedience to be an SD. My dogs always had scheduled potty breaks and playtime. My job is to make sure your pet has the best time while keeping boundaries/respecting their space, ensuring their safety, and following your expectations of care. I am comfortable with any amount of shedding and the size of your pet. I can especially ease my interaction with pets that are scared and anxious, as through training my own dog, I am better at picking up the dog’s body language and only engage in physical contact if the pet’s body language consents. If you have an aggressive pet, please notify me beforehand. I do not guarantee I will agree to care for them, but I am interested in scheduling a first meeting if possible. Note: I do not drink/smoke, so your loved one will never be affected by second-hand smoke or inappropriate behavior. I am very available on the weekends and by the afternoon on weekdays. If you need morning care, please reach out and I will see if I can accommodate! My pets are routinely groomed and freshened. Everytime they come inside after heavy play, I clean their body from head to toe with pet friendly wipes. I use a brush that helps with shedding and smoothing out hair. Their teeth gets brushed every 2 weeks. I check their ears for dirt routinely and the inside of their paws for any injuries or cracking from dryness.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Braddock
Adisyn was an absolutely ideal dog sitter!! I would recommend her to anyone; she was 11/10. I was extremely anxious about leaving my dog who is very fearful and skiddish, but Adisyn knew just how to take care of her and was very calm and patient and kind. I could tell she had a lot of experience and joy working with dogs. My doggo warmed up to Adisyn right away and even seemed to miss her after I got back! Adisyn kept me updated on how my doggo was doing and followed all instructions very thoroughly. My doggo and I had the best experience with her!
Valerie is a conscientious and loving pet sitter and my dogs and cats love her visits. She maintains good communication both before and during visits so I feel comfortable leaving my pets in her capable hands. She goes above and beyond and I trust her with my 2 dogs and 2 cats.
Erin was highly communicative and dependable. She took great care of our two large, high-energy dogs while we were away. She asked thoughtful questions in advance to make sure she a thorough understanding of the dogs and what they needed. We would happily work with Erin again!
David was an incredible find! We have never done this before but he was patient and helped us figure out how we wanted our animals to be taken care of with an immense level of kindness and understanding. He was a great fit for us and took great care of our special needs dog. We cannot recommend him enough!
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 :) ).

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
