“Rachel was so fantastic! Great communicator and felt very comfortable with leaving my furbaby with her! Got daily updates and pictures. Will definitely be going back to her!”


“We LOVE Olivia! She is a great communicator, always sends lots of pictures throughout the day. She’s reliable, kind, and very good at what she does. We always know our home is cared for as well while she house sits our dog Billie. Billie loves cuddling with Olivia too!!!”


“My first time using Ericka to watch my dog Toby and I'm very pleased with the job she did. She sent me pictures of Toby each day which I enjoyed receiving. Toby requires eye drops 5 times per day so it's a bit of work to care for him. Also pleased that the house was in good order when I returned. I hope to use Ericka again in the future.”



“Natalie tackled the task of watching our 5 animals in our home while we were on vacation. I’m a bit of a nervous wreck when it comes to our fur babies but I fully trust Natalie and can tell she absolutely loves animals! She did a wonderful job and we will absolutely be rebooking her for our next trip!”


“Hannah took care of our cat and dog while we were away and everything went so smoothly. She was in touch regularly with updates and didn’t hesitate to ask any questions that she had, making for a smooth week for the pup and kitty!”


“Lillian was excellent with our two large dogs who have different needs like scared of storms/fireworks and high energy, jumpy. She was great with both of them and made sure they had what they needed all weekend, while sending us pictures and keeping us updated. We will definitely contact Lillian again in the future!”


“Sydney did an AMAZING job watching our dogs. We have one reactive dog and there was some tension in our house between dogs, plus two have medical needs. so I was so so nervous to leave them. Sydney followed all my instructions and she even watched for signs of tension, healthy play, etc. Truly above and beyond—she spent a ton of time at my house and I came back to very happy dogs. Would definitely recommend her to folks like me with dogs that require a sitter who pays extra attention and care!”

About: I've been the go-to sitter for my family for years because they know how much I love to be around animals. I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have two cats who are my whole heart, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to care for you furry family when you are away. I am a freelance artist and am usually doing various creative projects in the Pittsburgh area. Which gives me a very flexible schedule to focus on pet care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in, or overnight care, I can usually accommodate short notice and regular routines. I'm happy to work with your pets specific schedule to keep things consistent and stress free. I provide most of my care in the client’s home to keep pets comfortable in their own environment and maintain their usual routine. Whether it’s walking, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. In my own home, I can only accommodate small dogs who are cat-friendly, since I have two cats of my own. Their well-being and yours are always my top priority.

“Sent pictures, followed instructions, my animals and my house have little particulars that she listened to well, too! My house was clean, animals were well taken care of and happy when I got back ❤️ Would recommend Cayla and will use again! Thanks again.”


“Tessa was great with our boys while we were away. She communicated everything really well with us and sent us daily update pictures. Will definitely be using her again next time we are going out of town.”


“Sadie was great. She was available last minute to watch our dog over a holiday weekend and was able to do a meet and greet within a short amount of time. Sadie took great care of our dog, Schenley while we were away.”


“Elise is wonderful. The dogs adore her, even my Shiba Inu drama queen. Elise is very proactive with regular updates and photos during her visits and stays. I have complete peace of mind knowing my dogs are in Elise's capable hands.”


“Just spent a long weekend away thanks to Alexis. She was able to help out on short notice, even coming by to meet me and my pup. Kept me updated with lots of photos throughout the weekend and I think my house was left better than before I went away! Thank you again!”


“We are so grateful to have had Allison stay with our Corgi while we were away for a week. Our dog has anxiety and typically becomes very stressed while we are away, but Allison stayed at our home, followed his usual routine as closely as possible, and made sure to give him some extra love. She would check-in with us daily to let us know how things were going and would ask questions if she was unsure of something. She was respectful with our home and belongings and made sure to leave things nice and tidy for our return. As someone who tends to leave a lot of instructions when it comes to staying with our dogs, I can’t recommend Allison enough! She truly made us feel comfortable that she had things under control so that we could enjoy our vacation.”


“Gemma did an amazing job watching Jacks and Mia. She checked in regularly and sent videos and pictures to keep me updated, which gave me great peace of mind. She took them on nice walks and made sure they were happy and well cared for. She truly went above and beyond .”

“Wow! I was nervous leaving our dog with a total stranger while we were traveling in a hotel. I checked out Rover witch I belonged to but never used. I took a change and I couldn’t have been happier. She was fantastic. Willow took to her right away. She went above and beyond to make our evening away from our girl Pleasant. She is a sweet person and great with Willow. I highly recommend her. Thanks Again.”


About: I’ve been dog-sitting on and off for a few years now. This mostly included either visiting a house or having the dogs stay overnight! And now I have my own pet (chocolate lab) so taking care of pets is even more fun I’m currently unemployed so my schedule is very much free and open. Which is also great since I can do long term watches if need be I am constantly involved with the pets always and love to play with them. And always double check on specific feeding schedule or bathroom schedule. I also make sure to keep the clients house clean and tidy incase they are gone for a longer period of time.

About: Hi there! I'm a passionate dog lover who believes every pup deserves the best care and a whole lot of love. Growing up with dogs, I've developed a knack for understanding their unique personalities and needs. Whether it's going for long walks, playing fetch, or just lounging on the couch, I love spending quality time with furry friends. I'm all about positive vibes and creating a fun, safe environment for dogs to thrive. Iv recently move to Pittsburgh from Erie Pa, so I don’t have many friends nor plans. This give me plenty of free time to take care of your fur babies In my home, if I offer boarding or daycare services, I ensure that the environment is safe, clean, and comfortable for the pets. I provide them with a designated space where they can relax and have their own belongings. Regular exercise and playtime are essential, so I make sure to engage them in activities that suit their energy levels and preferences. Feeding schedules are followed according to the owner's instructions, and fresh water is always available. I also maintain open communication with the pet owners, providing regular updates on their well-being. When caring for pets in the client's home, I prioritize maintaining a routine that is familiar and consistent for the pets. I follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and any specific care needs. I spend quality time with the pets, providing companionship, playtime, and exercise. I also take care of any necessary grooming, such as brushing or bathing, if requested. Additionally, I make sure to keep the home environment clean and tidy, respecting the owner's space and belongings. In both cases, I ensure that the pets receive plenty of love, attention, and affection. I am committed to their safety, happiness, and well-being, and I strive to create a positive and nurturing environment for them to thrive in.

Emma F.
“Emma F is my next door neighbor. From the time I had my special needs terrier, Ozzie, when she was just a teen, she would help take him for walks and give exceptional care and love when she and her family would pet sit Ozzie when I traveled. Ozzie was very particular about people and really loved Emma. Now she's an adult and has loveable chocolate lab, Charlie, who she walks and takes great care of. Emma is a very attentive pet sitter for other people's dogs who often stay at her house. She carefully manages interactions between Charlie and some of these 'visiting' dogs that require closer supervision so everyone stays happy and healthy. Emma is a smart, capable, incredibly resourceful human being that any pet owner would absolutely love walking or caring for their furry family member whenever they need her services.”


Taye S.
“I had the pleasure of having Taye care for my pets and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Taye is an exceptional pet caregiver who goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of any animal under their care. Taye's love for animals is evident in their interactions with my pets. They were patient, gentle, and always had a positive attitude, making my pets instantly comfortable around them. Taye took the time to understand my pets' individual needs, preferences, and routines, ensuring that they received personalized attention and care. Not only did Taye provide excellent physical care for my pets, but they also provided emotional support. They were attentive to my pets' emotional needs, offering plenty of affection, playtime, and companionship. I could tell my pets were genuinely happy and content in Taye's presence. Moreover, Taye is extremely responsible and reliable. They consistently communicated with me, providing updates on my pets' well-being and any concerns that arose. I felt at ease knowing that my pets were in such capable hands. I highly recommend Taye as a pet caregiver on Rover.com. Their passion for animals, responsible nature, and loving demeanor make them the perfect choice for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring individual to take care of their beloved pets.”
