“Jennifer took great care of our pets while we were out of town. She was punctual and she got along fine with our coonhound. I would use her again next time we go on a trip.”


“It was our first time using Rover and Kara was so considerate and helping us through the whole process! We couldn't have hoped for anything better. We know our cats were cared for while we were gone and that was so amazing! Kara was responsible, accommodating and just lovely with our kitties. We also got lots of pictures while we were away and we loved it. Thank you so much Kara!”


“Sadie is a wonderful pup sitter! She's been checking in on my 2 pupps for dinner and potty time every weekend for a few months. The dogs are happy, and excited when I say her name before I leave for work. Directions are always carried out thoroughly, and communication about health concerns and pet behavior are always top notch. Sadie always does the best anyone could with Pittsburgh weather and thunder/rain averse dogs and gives great updates about her time in my home. The dogs are happy, im happy. I highly recommend her services 😊”


“Kathleen came for 30 minutes drop-in visits for our cats while we were away for about 11 days. She fed them, gave them pets, and played with them. Prior to our departure, she came for a meet and greet, and we gave her instructions on the cats' feeding and care. We found Kathleen to be responsive and responsible. She showed up everyday in the morning like we requested, and sent us notes and pictures while we were gone. She also responded to our messages in a timely manner. She was pleasant to work with, and we would like to book her again if we need help in the future. Thank you Kathleen!”


“Savanna is the best! So friendly and a natural with dogs! She took great care of our dog during drop in visits while we were away for 4 days. She gave very detailed updates of each visit. She is super reliable, detail oriented and communicates promptly and frequently - we didn’t have to worry at all while we were gone! Our dog can be a lot but she handled him with ease. Highly recommend her!!!”


“Theresa did a great job of watching my kitties and made sure all of their needs were attended to. She was very responsive with communicating what was going on with them as well as accommodating of my busy holliday schedule that changed at the last minute. I would definitely book her again if I go out of town again!”


“Cori took great care of our cats while we were on vacation for two weeks. She left notes and added adorable pics for each day- we laughed so hard at some of those pics! We could tell our kitties were safe and getting lots of lovins while we were away 💕 I definitely recommend Cori for pet sitting and will be requesting her next time we need a sitter!”



“Natalie did a great job looking after Harry on short notice! Despite booking less than a week in advance, Natalie was even able to squeeze in a meet and greet the weekend before. Thank you!”


“Ashley was fantastic with our car. Our cat is wary of new people, but she took to Ashley quick and seemed to love playing with her. We were so happy to see the picture she sent while we were away, letting us know that our cat was well taken care of”


“Mandie was great! She came on time and followed all our instructions perfectly! I was very comfortable having her watch our kitties.”

About: I've taken care of many pets in my life. Cats, dogs, and even ferrets. I love all animals no matter the size. I have always wanted to care for animals all my life. I also love to take pet Portraits and keep my clients updated whenever needed! I currently work Monday to Friday 8 am to 4 pm. I'm available after 4pm every Monday to Friday. Most Weekends I'm available all day I clean my fur babies litter box every day to keep a healthy environment. I tend to brush their fur twice a week and always give them lots of love every day!

“I am glad my cat Dorita is also making friends with Richard and coming around more when he goes check on her! Richard takes care of my dog and cat both and he has been great so helpful to us!”


“Still the best”


About: Hi, I am Mamie (I have gone by Mamie since birth but am technically named Mary) and I have had dogs, cats, and many smaller critters throughout my life, and my own pets for over 25 years. My mother was a vet tech and I grew up rescuing many animals, and continued that tradition into adulthood, so I have ample experience in a multitude of pet types and situations I am a housekeeper for my main job, so I am working around the Pittsburgh area 8am-4pm Monday through Thursday, but am otherwise available for all types of jobs. I am comfortable with more or less any pet, from rodents to lizards and I am not squirmish about even the creepy crawlies and slithery noodles. I can and have given almost every kind of medication there is, including subcutaneous injections, and am comfortable doing so with care and compassion and confidence. I am just starting out with professional pet sitting on Rovwr, I did it years ago in Seattle as a side gig on my own with Craigslist posts, but haven't done it in about 14 years. I am clean, responsible, and trustworthy. I will only take jobs with a meet and greet beforehand, and you can get a feel for my vibe and professionalism at that time, but I am sure you will like me and feel comfortable having me in your home. As a housekeeper I am used to going into strangers homes and having a high level of integrity and care for their space and belongings. I also am very clean and fastidious. I keep things looking like I wasn't there as much as possible, and will clean litter boxes daily and change water bowls daily and do deep cleans of water fountains 1x a week. I work as a housekeeper from 8am-4pm mon through Thursday right now, so those times I won't be able to be available in clients homes or for potty breaks, but am available at all other times. I don't do sitting in my own home since I have two cats and a husband and no fenced in yard. In clients homes I am respectful, clean, tidy, responsible and trustworthy. I mind my business and am not judgemental. I will spend lots of time loving and socializing your pets, and I set alarms and try to keep potty breaks frequent to avoid accidents and less stress.

“Emma was great!! She kept me updated every check in; sending me pictures and notifying me every step of her check in with my fur baby. She made sure I felt confident leaving my pup in her care! Definitely going to be booking with her if I am out of town again. 10/10 recommend”

Jack & Maya H.
“Jack has watched my cat for me for years when I would go out of town for various reasons. My cat, Winston, absolutely loves to hangout with Jack because he plays with him, cuddles him & is just a super calming presence. I would highly recommend having Jack watch and care for your pet! They will be in good hands :)”
