About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid. I love animals, as they are the most loving and authentic little beings. I’ve always had dogs and have taken care of family/friends/neighbors’ dogs when needed. I offer boarding, walks, a fenced in yard and socialization with my children and my own pets. Your pup will be in good hands and loved! My household always has an adult home for walks or ability to go out in the yard at anytime. We pop in and out on sports practice days in the evenings and for games on the weekends. Never more than 2 hours at a time. I have a large fenced in yard, can crate your pup and can offer walks, the ability to sit or lay on furniture, socialization for my kids, and socialization for my dog and other pets
About: My whole life we had cats and dogs. I have house sat for neighbors and friends with pets since I was ten years old. I currently own a rabbit. I have also cared for all kinds of rodents, fish, and reptiles. I have trained puppies and kittens and a bunny. I also cared for my older dachshund and gave him shots and necessary medications. I work part time teaching yoga throughout the week and have lots of availability. I only have custody of my kids every other week making my week without them a great time for extra hours and house sitting. I keep pets from being hungry, thirsty, or bored. I keep pets nicely groomed and their areas and things nicely cleaned. I offer direct focus and affection. I can walk or run with dogs. I love doing yoga on the floor and watching cats or my rabbit climb all over me and get affection.
“Excellent pet care!!!!!!! Aubrey was a blessing. It was our first time away from two of our cats. We weren't certain how they would respond, especiallyPercy who has attachment issues to his "dad" and whines when he leaves the house. They were happy and well cared for by Aubrey. A relief for both us and our fur family. I highly recommend Aubrey to care for your furry friends!”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. Predominately cats and dogs, but also a few fish, hermit crabs, and briefly a lizard. In my teens I started helping my parent's friends with house & pet sitting. As an adult, I have had both a cat and a dog as my personal pets to continue to have their company in my life. I still help my friends and family today in the care of their animals. Summer Time I have more time as my child is visiting with their father for several weeks. M-F 9am-6pm. Sat and Sundays 10am-6pm; IF AVAIBLE. I do have other work on the weekends. Once school is back in session, I will be available M-F 9:30am-3pm. Your pet and home will be treated with the highest quality of care and respect. No messes left behind and all rules will be followed.
“Daphine has been taking care of my pup Draco for awhile now and I can tell my dog likes her! So reliable and trustworthy! This is my second review to her cause she deserves it!”
About: I have two dogs of my own, and I am quite experienced with handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have received training on how to better understand the signals that dogs give us in order to determine how they are feeling (scared, excited, cautious, angry, etc.), and I have applied that training to my previous job at a doggy daycare countless times. I graduated college in December of 2016, and I’m still figuring out how to combine my Hospitality Management degree and my passion for caring for animals! I really enjoy dog walking because I find happiness in knowing that I provide comfort and peace of mind to those owners who aren’t able to be with their fur babies in the middle of the day!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats basically since I was born! I’ve grown up with them in the house and I’ve taken care of puppies/kittens up to older dogs/cats! I’ve always been around animals and am comfortable with them! I currently work part-time as a lifeguard, and i currently go to community college so my schedule is extremely flexible! I also work part time during the summer, so my schedule is pretty open! I have a fenced in yard for my dog, Winnie. That’s where she would usually go to the bathroom, but I will occasionally walk her to let her get some exercise and a change of scenery! I love spending time with my dog and enjoying just hanging out with pets!
“Amazing!!!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Lauren! She was so kind and attentive, and it was clear she genuinely cared for our cat. We appreciated the updates and photos—it really put us at ease while we were away.😊 I’d absolutely recommend Lauren’s services to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter. 10/10!”
“Brittany is very professional and loved my kitty kat Tucker even though he is terrified of strangers and wouldn't visit with her when she dropped in during the vacation week! She did everything needed for Tucker to be on his own and we would have her back with no hesitation - Thanx Brittany!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs, either mine or roommates/partners, one way or another for several years, and now have a cat of my own that I cherish endlessly. You can expect clear and honest communication, for your pets needs to be met to the fullest, and for them to have a lovely time with me while you’re away I am currently unemployed, so I am well free to care for your pets completely at your convenience. All I ask is clear communication regarding timing and needs and I can take care of the rest! My cat is both trained to understand treat and affection based rewards and both respond and go where I ask her to. She is also on a schedule for feeding, and for playtime. Whatever systems you have in place for your pets I can certainly adhere to and implement.
“Matthew came last minute for me and did a phenomenal job. I have a Cane Corso and German Shepherd and he handled both without any issues. Def will be using him again and highly recommend him.”
“Lily was great to work with. It was so easy to communicate with her and she always responded promptly. I believe my cats had a good time with her. I definitely would like to work with her again if she's available.”
“We had a great experience! She stopped by twice to let our dogs out while we were away and was reliable, communicative, and very caring with them. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and I always love fur friends. I have been taking care of my fur baby and my In-law dogs they love me and I’m sure your fur baby will do the same. I am stay at home mom full-time so you don’t have to worry about your fur baby. They will get a lot of love and attention just like my baby. Your fur baby safety and happiness are our top priorities, and we treat them with the same love and care as we do our own pets. I have 2 years old Cavapoo very playful and friends will keep your fur baby company.
“Alana visited my two senior cats everyday consistently at the same time to keep them used to their schedule. She was very responsive every time I asked her a question and sent me pictures every day too. She followed all my requests; I could not have asked for a better pet-sitting experience. I will definitely re-book Alana next time I leave town.”
“I hired Samantha through the Rover app for drop-in visits while I was out for work for 12 hours, and she did an amazing job. She arrived on time for every visit, made sure my girls were let out and cared for, and sent thoughtful updates each time, which really put my mind at ease. I was extremely nervous since I had never left my fur babies with a stranger before, but Sarah was wonderful and made the entire experience stress-free. I felt confident knowing they were in great hands. I will absolutely be hiring her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet care.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Lauren! She was prompt, communicative, and even stopped by before our trip to meet us and the cats, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed all of our feeding instructions perfectly and sent us daily updates with plenty of photos of the cats (and their food!), which we really appreciated while we were away. She also made sure to spend quality time playing with them. It’s clear how much she truly loves animals. We came home to two very happy cats! We will absolutely use her again and would highly recommend her to any family and friends. Thank you, Lauren!”
“Goldie had a wonderful time warming up to and playing with Dominika and her daughter over 4 days during the Thanksgiving Holiday! When we returned home he seemed happy and calm. The pictures we received daily truly put our mind at ease. When we returned home, Goldie zoomed all over the house showing us all the toys he had played with while we were away. We will certainly be booking with Dominika again due to having had such a positive experience for our shy, smart cat.”
“Lauren took amazing care of my two cats! She’s very attentive to detail and thorough with pets likes/dislikes and routines. She’s very communicative throughout and sent lots of updates and pictures while I was away”
“Jess was wonderful with my little Aussie — she was patient when taking her for a walk and made sure she could romp around our yard, but also made sure her paws were clean when she came in. She also made sure to check in on our other animals to make sure everyone had what they needed. Looking forward to continuing to work with Jess.”

Christine did an amazing job caring for our elderly dog, Molly. She was attentive, compassionate, and made sure Molly was comfortable the entire time. 🤎🐾 Christine kept us updated with great communication, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing Molly was in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Christine again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

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 Heights stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 Heights 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.
To find sitters in Braddock Heights with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
