“Kaysie was amazing. Right from the meet and greets to the regular updates while we were away. Thank you for taking care of Pepper and the cute pictures, helped with easing our anxiety. Pepper is happy, cuddly and well taken care of. Would highly recommend Kaysie!”
“Danielle was fantastic with my cat ZuZu! I received detailed updates and photos during every visit, which gave me such peace of mind. She followed all feeding instructions perfectly, kept the litter boxes clean and spent extra time playing with her. My cat who is usually shy loved her. I would definitely recommend Danielle and we will certainly be repeat customers. Thank you for everything!”
“Madison was so nice to work with. She made leaving my furry baby easier knowing she would take good care of him. And she did. I received pictures and updates with every visit she made. Next time I am in need of someone to watch my guy I hope she will be available.”

“Natalie did a great job watching my nervous cat Luna! She gave me daily updates on how Luna was warming up to her and included some cute pics. Definitely recommend!”
“I’ve booked Abigail a few times now and she’s been amazing every single time. She’s super reliable, consistent, and sends great updates. She even got my shy cat to come out of her shell, which says a lot! It’s such a relief knowing they’re in good hands!!”
“Maria was readily available for a last minute booking and did an incredible job! We video called to show her the lay of the land and my girls just loved her!”

“Lauren was open to a thorough meet and greet prior to watching our two kitties, and she took the biggest weight off our shoulders while we were away. She sent plenty of updates, gave them their favorite treats, and lots of loving and play time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for loving them like your own! They’ll be excited to see you next time!”
About: I have a deep love for animals especially since I have a 10 year old schnauzer back home in Florida who I miss every day. Being around pets again brings me joy and comfort, and I always strive to give that same feeling back to the animals I care for. I treat every dog like my own; with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I also genuinely enjoy walking outdoors, so your pup will always get the exercise and fresh air they deserve. Whether it’s energetic playtime or gentle care for seniors, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I love going on walks every day, especially in the spring/ summertime. So taking dogs along just makes those moments even better. Since I work as a competitive gymnastics coach in the evenings, my mornings and afternoons are wide open for drop-ins, walks, and quality time with pets. It’s the perfect balance of movement, fresh air, and furry companionship! Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or dropping in for a visit, I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I take time to bond with each pet through play, cuddles, or just calm companionship. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family, always making sure they’re happy, exercised, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Matthew went above and beyond to care for our 3 cats. He followed instructions, but also brought in packages for us and cleaned the cats' dirty dishes which wasn't at all expected. I definitely recommend him!”
“Kate does a great job with my Great Dane. She provides detailed updates and photos from her visits and is very responsive to messages. I will definitely keep booking with Kate!”
About: I grew up with many pets, and will care for yours as if they were my own. I have open availability on weekends, and evening availability during the week. I have a huge love for puppies and senior dogs alike. If you have any special requests, I'm sure I can fulfill them. I live in the heart of Dormont and love walking and this gives me an extra excuse to do so! Playing, getting puppachinos at starbucks, going outdoors, hanging out indoors and relaxing and listening to music are all things that your pup and I could do together. I look forward to hearing from you, and meeting your precious pup! I have open availability on the weekends, and am available after 6pm on weekdays! I could do morning walks before 9am as well during the week. I currently have 5 cats, and cannot board dogs at my home as we do not have enough space- but they live an incredibly spoiled life!
About: I’m back!! I pet sat when I lived in Orlando and then took a break. I am now in Pittsburgh and ready to welcome some new friends. I work from home full-time, in a single-family home with a fenced in yard. I have made a habit of rescuing animals (especially senior animals) and my pack would love some playmates.Whether it is joining in couch cuddles or afternoon zoomies, your little one will feel like part of the family. I have a lot of experience with a lot of different breeds. Including a few years of kennel experience as well as 30 years of personal experience. I have experience with senior animals as well as special needs animals, including blind, deaf, mobility issues, and incontinent. With those things comes a lot of experience in medication as well. Myself and my crew are excited to meet you and your fur babies. I work from home fulltime and a big home body. The most I leave is if I’m grocery shopping or grabbing dinner in the evening. I have a fully fenced in yard. Any boarding pups will sleep in my second bedroom in an appropriate sized crate/playpen. This is the area they would eat their meals as well.
“Abigayle was great doing drop in visits with our dog. He is normally anxious and takes a while to warm up to new people but it didn’t take long at all with Abigayle. She is very punctual and great with communication. Your pet will be well cared for.”
About: I am an artist based in Brookline~Pittsburgh looking to provide care and build relationships with furry friends in my community. My availability is flexible, so let me know what you need. I am conscientious, responsible, and communicative. I am also available for pet-portrait paintings and drawings by commission. I have spent my life with dogs and I know that each one has their unique personalities and needs. My goal is to be a consistent caretaker and companion to your pet. I have dog-sat, cat-sat, and walked professionally and for canine family members and friends. I know dogs and cats are special people who deserve care and companionship tailored to them! My schedule is flexible. I recently chose to change course from many years in retail, organizing and teaching. Impromptu offers are welcome. I'll always accommodate when I can! My home is spacious with many cozy couches and space to play. There's easy access to walks or jogs around the neighborhood, as our entrance is on a backstreet, not the Boulevard. I host with an adaptive approach depending on pets' preferences. I'll tailor their day to day routines to what their used to at home. Including loving attention, dining schedule, medication needs (if relevant), couch time or staying off furniture, frequency and activity level of walks and play, and whatever requests you have to help your dog be comfortable while you're away.
Brookline pet parents share their Rover experiences
Disha was absolutely incredible! My wife and I were away for 10 days, and she took amazing care of our cat, Little John, who is truly our pride and joy. She stopped by every day, provided great updates, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Disha is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend!
Maddie was the best at taking care of my cats! They love attention, and Maddie made sure to spend time with them, in addition to giving food and water of course. Maddie also made sure to reach out with a few questions as they came up, which I really appreciated since it showed a genuine desire to give my pets amazing care. I definitely plan on rebooking with Maddie!
This is our second time having Abby care for our two cats while we were away. She did an amazing job! One cat is on daily meds, and Abby is super reliable and communicative. We arrived home to happy and relaxed cats, and we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing they were in good hands. Thank you Abby!
Matthew took amazing care of our two cats! He gave them personal attention and took the time to gain their trust and make them feel safe. Matthew did a great job following the medication instructions for one of our cats and gave us detailed reports on their behavior and mood. It gave us such peace of mind to know they were in good hands.
Natalie was simply amazing! If you want to feel comfortable when you go away and have to leave your furry friends behind, Natalie is the best! She took such great care of our cat and kept us updated daily. You can tell she really cares she doesn't just drop off food, she takes the time to let your pet know they aren't alone.
This is our second time having Ashely sit for us. She has been excellent both times. She is respectful of our home, listens to our asks, and is great with communication. She keeps us updated with pictures through the app which is greatly appreciated and both our dog and cat enjoy her company. Overall, a very good experience, and I highly recommend her!
