About: My mom runs a rescue, so I have taken care of countless animals while fostering them. I also have 7 cats and 5 dogs which brings a lot of experience. I am a college student athlete, so I am currently free most days of the week and weekends. Aside from doing my workouts, I love to get any extra exercise I can!! During the school year I will only be free during the weekends. I have large yard and path cut through my field for exercise. My dogs and cats are friendly to any other animal, but I am able to crate the pet if needed.

About: Does your dog prefer to be in its own environment? Then allow me to spoil your pup while you're away! You might be thinking to yourself 'Well why should I pick this girl to watch my dog?' Let me tell you why! .... I bake homemade dog treats and love to run/walk with a loveable dog by my side! And snuggling up with a pup is probably one of the best feelings ever! I have an 8 year old cockapoo at home who is pretty awesome, if I do say so myself! I love to meet other dogs and spend time with them so I'm hoping I get to meet yours soon! I am a part time student (taking online classes) and I work part time as a florist so my schedule is pretty open to take care of your 'furry child' while you are away! For the last couple of years I have been watching my parents pets while they go on vacation along with friends animals. I am just looking to broaden my horizons by using Rover! I also feel as though having someone come to your house to care for your dog/cat is a lot less stressful for your pet and you have someone who is able to bring the mail in, water any plants, make sure the trash cans are taken to the curb, and just to make sure the house is still standing! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my whole life. I grew up with at least one dog always in the house. When I moved out one of the first things I did was buy a puppy. He means the world to me and I would pretty much do anything for my cockapoo, Ramsay. And yes, he is named after Gordon Ramsay! My experience administering medication Yes, I am quite comfortable with administering medications. My pup takes allergy medicine and puts up quite a little fight so it does not scare me.
“Jenna did a wonderful job with our cats, they absolutely loved her. Jenna is an excellent communicator and followed all care instructions and was not afraid to ask if there was something she was unsure about. I would absolutely recommend her.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and have been caring for them my entire life. I have experience with both large and small dogs as well as cats. I’m currently home from college for the summer and working part time so I have a good amount of time on my hands, especially on Sundays and Mondays. I experience with almost every type of pet care you can think of including things like bathing, crating, playing, walking, feeding, and even giving medication.
About: I have had dogs and cats ever since I was 4. However, at age 12 I got my first dog just for me. I took it very serious and have loved taking care of dogs and cats ever since. I have raised a few dogs and cats of my own since they were young, some since actual birth. I have also taken care of a family dog whom was blind and deaf due to being very old. I currently can’t welcome pets into my own home, but I love caring for dogs so I wanted to still find a way to care for them! On days like now when it’s cold and everyone is busy, I have no issue walking your dog and ensuring they still get the outside experience without you worrying about their safety. I am big on giving regular updates and treating every pet as if they are my own. I’m a part time college student! Pretty much free with all online classes. I occasionally go to the gym but besides that, I’m always home. Think of it like if I’m babysitting someone’s child. It pretty much is for many dog owners, I would know as my dog Nya was very much my daughter lol. But it’s very important that I ask all the necessary questions so I can care for your pet the same way you would. If you give them treated only during certain behavior than I will too. If you only walk them in certain areas then I will too. It’s important to not only make every pet feel safe and comfortable, but to create an experience that doesn’t feel to far from home. That way not only does the pet feel happy, but once they are back to their owner it feels like they never left.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog. I’ve grown up around family pets and understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m available 24/7. I have 4 dogs at home and am willing to pet sit at any point of any day! I’m just getting started on rover and would love to get my name out there! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both personal and professional settings. I previously worked for a local groomer as a dog bather, where I became comfortable handling dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition, I regularly care for my family’s dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, spending time with them, and pet sitting when family members are away. I also help care for pets for extended family members, including my aunts and uncles, who trust me with their dogs while they travel or need extra help. I truly enjoy being around animals and am looking forward to expanding my services to help more pet owners feel confident their dogs are safe, cared for, and treated like family.
About: I’ve had a handicapped dog my entire life growing up! I currently have a 1 year old Australian Shepherd mix and a 9 month old puppy who both mean the world to me! I love all dogs and have plenty experience with all breeds! I will provide safe and quality care to your fur babies as if they were my own! I am currently in Nursing School and graduate in December, I have a very versatile schedule as I have class only a few days a week and am able to be there to help after or before class! I have a large gated deck and yard with neighbors whose dogs are very friendly as well! I have a crate if needed and various space to play with the dogs as well!
About: I was blessed as a child to have a life long pup. She was 15 years old so she grew up with me. Now I have 3 pups of my own that my children get the opportunity to grow up with! I have 2 doodles (one aussiedoodle, and the other is a Bernedoodle) the 3 red is a little Yorkie who I say is the “old grandpa” of the group! 🤣 I love every dog just as it would be my own. I have pup sat for several people but now thought I’d offer my services to others now as well. I look forward to meeting all of you as your pups or kitties! I work full time, but I can do weekends for drop ins, as well as evenings and early mornings. I’m am very open to talking about what your needs are as well. I like to see what you do with your pets daily, so that I can follow what you typically do during the day. I know animals do best when you can adhere to a schedule. 😊
About: Having had the joy of loving, training, and caring for two wonderful dogs, and losing them both to old age, I deeply miss having a dog in my life. While I’m not financially able to provide for another dog at this time, I would love the opportunity to care for others' pets. Caring for dogs would not only help me earn additional income but also fill my life with the companionship and joy they bring, even if it's just temporary—whether for a day, a week, or longer. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it’s playing, walking, grooming, or simply loving them. With a strong moral code and work ethic, you can rest assured that your beloved pet will be well cared for, and I’ll ensure they have as much fun as if they were on vacation! I work from home, so I am available 24/7 to tend to the need of your pet! I have weekend obligations that will take me out of the house, but never longer that a few hours at a time. Your dog will be treated like family while in my care. My entire downstairs is open to them. I am hoping your pet will want to hang out with me:) I have a large yard , with a portion of it fenced off to create safety for your pet when off leash. If your dog fancies a walk, I live close to a park that is ideal for a casual stroll, or an invigorating walk for for exercise. I am more than willing to send pictures and or short videos of your pet if you wish, so you can feel connected while you are away.
About: My name is Milissa and I’ve been working with fur pals for around 8+ years now, ranging from various sizes and backgrounds. Dogs, cats, ferret, chickens… you name it! I'm currently working 7-3:30PM weekly and my days off are Thursday and Friday. I'm usually able to leave work early as well just in case. I have a fenced in yard + more property to run and play. I also live near Moraine so there are plenty of trails to explore! I would love to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for your fur kids! Pets are considered family to me, so I’m willing to work with any needs they have and give them the comfort and loving attention they deserve :-) hope to work with you! - milissa e.

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: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments for over 12 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or older, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they need. My schedule is busiest Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, but I’m available the rest of the afternoon and evening for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. On Saturdays and Sundays, I have open availability and can provide flexible scheduling throughout the day. I do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s needs and keep communication clear and reliable. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while sticking to their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide fresh water, feeding, exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention based on each pet’s personality and needs. I keep a clean, calm, and secure environment, closely supervise pets, and make safety my top priority at all times. I also provide updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
