“Adrienne took wonderful care of Finn! She sent plenty of photo updates, and he clearly had a great time with her pups. Would be happy to have her watch Finn again, and I know Finn would love that, too!”

“Christy, Louie, and Bandit we’re wonderful hosts. I needed to go out of town for the day and this was my first time using Rover. Traditional dog daycares seem to make Mungo nervous and this was a much better arrangement. Christy was so kind and we were able to do a quick meet and greet in advance. I knew immediately that Mungo would be comfortable with her. It was a huge relief knowing that the dog was happy and well cared for while I was gone. Many thanks!”

“Justin was great as he was able to accommodate a late evening daycare visit for our dog Fran while we went for an event in town. He was incredibly accommodating and flexible with the timing and was very eager to help. His corgi Watson is adorable and a very social dog. Our dog was anxious but Justin was able to keep her company and sooth her while we were gone for a few hours, she eventually relaxed and laid her head on his lap! I would highly recommend Justin to take care of your dog as he loves them and provides great care for them.”

“Hannah did a fantastic job caring for my dog Boo! Boo usually struggles with new environments, but the care and attention Hannah provided made all the difference. She was patient, understanding, and went above and beyond to ease my dog's anxiety. Highly recommend for anyone with a nervous dog!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life including fish, rodents, small birds, and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have experience with senior dogs, and anxious pups. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, medication, cuddles, and supervision. I have a low energy sweet senior pup who loves other dogs, and will begrudgingly share the couch with others. I also have a small parrot who generally minds his own business, but will be happy to let your pet know they’re a “pretty birdy”. My house is always stocked with disposable potty pads, reusable chucks, and all the pet safe enzyme cleaner anyone could need to clean up after old friends who have incontinence issues. There are throw rugs for comfort and traction, and a number of orthopedic beds perfect for pets with mobility issues who need a rest. You can bring your pets favorite treats with, and know that they also have access to a variety of different high quality easy to chew treats. Pets have access to a fenced in backyard with an outdoor patio for enjoying some fun in the sun on the outdoor sectional. They can enjoy walks in a quiet part of the neighborhood. I even have a stroller for pets under 20lbs.

About: I’ve always been a dog lover and both me and brother rescued a 6 year old white Labrador named “Zorro” who we brought before Covid began. We love him so much and since I moved countries he now lives with my parents in India. I wear a paw on my necklace which is a memory that he is not far away and will always take care of my parents behind me. Zorro now sits on the dinner table and enjoys all family meals. As someone with medical training and a responsible active lifestyle, I am calm under pressure, highly dependable and attentive to routines, medications, special care needs and feeding schedule. Whether your pet is playful or prefer quiet companionship I’m happy to adapt to their personality and needs. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family 🐾 I’m currently very flexible with my schedule until June 15th as I recently relocated to Pittsburgh to start my residency training. I will be able to work around a time and a schedule post June and will be open to taking care of your pet as per your need and happy to coordinate a schedule with you with my availability. I live in an apartment with my spouse who has grown up all around dogs as pets since he was a kid so we both love dogs but don’t have one of our own currently. Your pet is allowed on our sofa and enjoy the area of a one bedroom. If I am at your home, I will aim to make your pet feel as comfortable and stress free as possible while the owner is way by keeping a normal routine in their own home environment. I will carefully follow your instructions and communication is very important to me, so I can provide regular updates , photos and check-in to help the owner feel reassured. As someone with a medical background I am very attentive to details and safety.
“Valerie was terrific! She treated our little Hattie like her own and provided routine updates with pictures. We've already scheduled our next Doggy Day Care!”


“My girl absolutely loves spending the day with Amy! We always get pictures and updates and know our girl is going to have a fantastic time. She gets so excited on the way there, it's awesome.”

“Alexis was very responsive during our "interview" stage and very pleasant upon arrival. Although prince was anxious to leave he seemed to be comfortable and safe and that's all that mattered. Thank you for being available.”

“Tia was great! She accepted my request on short notice and made me feel at ease about leaving my boy Pete with her. We drove into town and needed a sitter for a few hours. She was the perfect choice for Pete the Pug. He was safe and secure in her fenced in yard. She also made him feel right at home letting him on her couch as part of the family. He made a new friend, Tang her adorable dog. She sent pictures and even a video to help ease my mind about dropping him off with a stranger away from home. I highly recommend her. And if we go back to Pittsburgh I will definitely book with her again.”


“Barrett was fantastic. I was passing through Pittsburgh on a holiday weekend and needed someone to watch my two 1 1/2-year-old beagles while I attended a Pirates games with friends. Barrett welcomed Harper & Quincy to his home, provided regular updates, and took great of them (including giving meds). Would absolutely use again.”

“Valerie and her son were absolutely incredible!! We made the request last minute and she was able to accommodate us which was so sweet. She’s great with communication and flexible as well. Most importantly, she kept in touch with us throughout the day, kept Wilson active and playful, and gave us a very detailed report at the end of the day. We are so lucky we found Valerie, would highly recommend!!”


About: Hi! I’m Elizabeth, a lifelong animal lover based in the Pittsburgh area. I understand that pets are family, and when you leave them with someone else you want the same care, attention, and safety you’d give them yourself. I spent 13 years with my sweet mini poodle mix Theo, who taught me how much love and personality can live in one small dog. Because of him, I’m especially attentive to each pet’s unique quirks, routines, and comfort needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, couch snuggles, or a consistent routine, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel most at home. I’m dependable, communicative, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet will be treated with the same patience, kindness, and care I would want for my own. I currently work from home and have complete flexibility with my job to ensure your pet gets as much attention, walks, and love throughout the day as they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide a calm environment, and ensure they are always supervised, secure, and well cared for. I will always send you updates and let you know what we are up to on our days together.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a sweet three-year-old chihuahua mix, and I truly enjoy meeting and bonding with new dogs. I work from home full-time, so your dog will get plenty of attention, walks, and play throughout the day. I live on Pittsburgh’s Northside with a small, secure fenced-in yard, perfect for safe outdoor fun. Since I work from home full time, I can give your pet plenty of attention, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I have a small fenced-in yard in Pittsburgh’s Northside for safe outdoor breaks, plus I love getting out for longer walks with my dog, at least once a day. Pet care is part of my daily routine, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. When pets stay with me, they’re treated like family. They’re welcome to relax on the furniture, nap on the couch, or sunbathe on the deck. I stick to their regular routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to help them feel comfortable and at home. I also have a baby gate to limit access to stairs for small dogs when needed. Since I work from home, I’m always nearby to give them the attention, care, and love they deserve.
“Fantastic day with Bruno…Walks, naps, lots of attention and yummy treats and food… thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Bruno. He was so nice and understanding when I had to work late..thank you. We will see you again soon.”

“Lauriane was great with doggy day care for our foster, despite him being extremely difficult with his separation anxiety! She cleaned up when he had an accident and took him on a nice long walk despite the cold day!!”

Central Lawrenceville dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ella seemed to take very good care of my pup and was flexible with my irregular schedule and pretty last-minute request, which I was very thankful for. She seemed comfortable and laid back around my big dog and I didn’t feel worried about her handling Cooper’s quirks!

My dog Mac’s stay with Krista was amazing! She was a great communicator, sending constant updates and cute photos and videos throughout the day. Mac loved his time with Griffin and Meat, and got along with them so well! He is a very high energy dog, and as soon as we got home he plopped down on my bed and was ready to call it a night. Would highly recommend.

Justin was great as he was able to accommodate a late evening daycare visit for our dog Fran while we went for an event in town. He was incredibly accommodating and flexible with the timing and was very eager to help. His corgi Watson is adorable and a very social dog. Our dog was anxious but Justin was able to keep her company and sooth her while we were gone for a few hours, she eventually relaxed and laid her head on his lap! I would highly recommend Justin to take care of your dog as he loves them and provides great care for them.

I chose Breanna as my dog day care taker for few days over a weekend. This was the first time I ever used Rover and will always choose her. She is amazing, flexible, and easy to communicate. My dog first time in a daycare like setting, and she made it so easy and smooth to welcome him and make sure he feels at home and comfortable. She is super responsive and flexible working with your schedule. I would definitely recommend her!!! As for Rover itself as a whole, it was decently easy to navigate and book the times with the sitter. The check in cards are a great feature to give a summary of each day.

What can I say with so few words. We started working with Mary a couple of years ago and we couldn’t be happier with her services. Our dog has pretty severe separation anxiety, and he requires lots of special attention and a very specific routine when he’s left alone in the home. Mary right away was very receptive to our feedback and right away we felt as though she had a genuine love for our dog and their bond only seems to get stronger. We never need to ask for updates as she’s always checking in and sending photos. What more can you ask for as a pet owner? Furthermore, we feel the experience Mary provides our dog is often greater than what we can provide at home given we have just a tiny yard in the city. She has an expensive property and takes the dogs on several outdoor adventures through throughout the day when she can. I just know we can’t say enough good things about Mary. She’s a very kind and down to earth person and we can’t thank her enough for all she does for Siggi boy. Thanks Mary!

Anahita was a wonderful sitter for our pup Chewie! We were visiting Pittsburgh for the weekend and needed a sitter to watch our boy. Anahita adapted to our off hour schedule and was super communicative, taking pics of him and letting us know how he was doing. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a kind and caring sitter.

Shannon and Stephen were wonderful with Finn! They were very flexible with our drop-off times, and Finn obviously had a great time playing with their puppies. They made sure to send lots of adorable photo and video updates of Finn having a blast. Highly recommend!
