About: With 10 years of pet care experience, I provide reliable and compassionate care tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s caring for playful puppies who need training and structure or providing gentle support for senior pets, I ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience with administering medication, maintaining exercise routines, and understanding different pet behaviors. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry friends are in caring and capable hands! As someone who works from home and has my own dog, pet care is naturally a part of my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive care, regular walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I understand the importance of keeping pets on a routine that meets their needs, whether it’s exercise, feeding schedules, or simply offering comfort and attention. Having my own dog has also given me firsthand experience in training, socialization, and understanding different pet personalities. Living in the heart of downtown, surrounded by many parks, I provide a stimulating and engaging environment for pets in my care. Whether in my apartment or a client’s home, I prioritize regular walks, playtime, and companionship to ensure pets feel happy and comfortable. For pets staying with me, I offer a cozy, safe space with plenty of exercise opportunities at nearby parks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their usual routines, providing feeding, walks, and plenty of affection to help them feel secure while their owners are away.
“Sara looked after my boy, Hugo, for 4 days and gave him great attention! She’s very communicative and takes great pics to send to you. Definitely will rebook and I recommend her for taking care of your fur friend.”
“Lauren was great with my pups! Appreciated the communication and updates she shared. Will book again!”
About: For 15 years of my life, I lived next to a professional dog sitter. Anytime she needed help, I was there! Because of this, people always came to me to walk/take care of their pets! I’ve also had many pets of my own. I look forward to working with you and making sure your pets get the best care :) I work 8am-4pm Monday-Friday, so I’m mainly available early mornings, evenings, nights, overnights, and weekends! My schedule changes all the time though so feel free to reach out regardless! When I’ve walked dogs previously, I would take them to a nearby park. If they don’t like cars or traveling, around the neighborhood it is! If I’m stopping by the house, I’ll first complete all the tasks and then give the doggy lots of love :)
“I can not recommend Liz enough. You will feel very at ease when your pups are in her hands and will be kept super informed durning your time away!!”
“Kayla went above and beyond during her visits, including cleaning up messes, and completed all the tasks requested. Her check-ins were thorough and made me feel reassured while I was away.”
“Tessa was great! I have 4 cats who can make a mess, but she left the house tidy as I left it. She provided nice updates with photos. She was responsive as well. Would highly recommend!”
“Maddi was awesome to work with! She was quick to respond to messages and the dogs loved her! I will definitely be working with her again”
“Chelsea was amazing! She treated our senior dog with such love. She was on time and she shared great pics of Tucker enjoying Chelsea’s visit. She is trustworthy and I hope to use her services again in the future. Thank you, Chelsea, for looking after our little man while we couldn’t. 💛”
“Richard did an incredible job. Showed up for daily visits with our pets and sent photos and report cards on every visit. Would definitely use again and recommend his services.”
About: I've been caring for dogs since childhood and have always had a dog as an adult. I currently have 2 dogs and the help of the whole family, especially our animal loving and training daughter (I lead all care and activity). Whether it be puppyhood, senior care, or medical issues including special diets and medication, I'm comfortable with a wide range of individualized instructions. I am centrally located in Mt. Washington with the benefits of a fenced-in back yard, a dog park and hiking trails within blocks. Additionally, I take walks every day and our guests are promised to have plenty of opportunities to play and receive attention. I love dogs! Pet care is a part of life each and every day. Times of day are insignificant as pet care happens very early, late at night, and all the time in between as needed. haIve a fenced in yard, comfy cushions (and couches although less preferred), and a crate available if that's requested. Dogs are walked daily with one walk somewhere from 1-5 miles and given endless opportunities to play (and learn). I can bathe dogs as well but shy away from grooming. My dogs are fed 2-3 times daily with treats when appropriate; no people food. I personalize all care based on needs and requests.
“Ashley was an amazing sitter! She really helped us out with a last minute booking before Christmas. She sent us photos every morning, and our cats looked so relaxed! Even our shy kitty came out to spend time with her. Would highly recommend Ashley! :)”

Duquesne Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Abby made sure my cat had everything she needed between all 3 bowls in the house! She sent the cutest pictures of my cat and kept me updated on all needs! Highly recommend Abby!
Lara was great and kept me updated with photos and what my cats had been up to, She was helpful in cleaning the litter boxes and giving my cats treats!
Sarah is a wonderful sister! She helped us out with last minute dropins and was very patient with our more nervous pup. She communicates very well and sent regular updates and pictures. I would definitely book with Sarah again.
Kristen was great with Murphy and helped out picking up a few additional visits when I was in a jam. I would highly recommend her and book her again in the future.
Tricia is so responsive and responsible. She gave us great updates and pictures on our cat when we were out of town. She even helped us with giving daily medication to our cat while we were away. Fully recommend and hope to work with Tricia in the future.
Laura did a great job with our 3 cats! She was communicative, sent lots of photos, and everything was just as we left it. Highly recommend!
I love having Krista come by and take care of our cat. She even gave us updates on the baby birds on our front porch this year. It’s nice to have a person with a big heart for animals around
Christof was great! Showed up exactly on time, and Winnie just adores him! Was sure to give her fresh water and belly rubs after her walk.
Brittany was great. Accepted last minute, helped us out in a pinch, and treated the cats really well! We'll definitely book her again in the future.
Sara is the BEST! Whenever we plan a trip, my first move is to check whether she can check in on our kitties while we’re gone. I always feel content knowing they’re in good hands.
Lauren is an amazing sitter! She dropped in on our pup for 5 days and took great care of her as well as keeping her company with snuggles and her toys! She was on time every day and followed all instructions we left for her. I’d recommend Lauren to anyone!
Kimberly was a gem and stepped in somewhat last minute to help me make sure my pup had outdoor breaks this week when I was away for extended hours. She was communicative and kind, would absolutely book again.
Our cat was so happy when we came home, but we could tell he was also so happy with Maddie. Great care taker, he was cleaning himself and loving pets.
Kirsten is the best! So communicative, helpful, and reliable. I’m always at ease when I’m out of town and she’s taking care of the cats.
Ericka showed up right on time as scheduled. She interacted well with Toby. Look forward to her watching him for the next few days.
Martine was a Rock Star this past week (June 2025) for her drop in visits to feed our cat. She was on time every day and communication was 💯. I would recommend Martine to anyone that needs her services. Thank you, thank you, thank you…!!!
10+/5 STARS! Ted (and his wife!) are my superheroes! I got unexpectedly stranded at the ER w/just few short hours left to remotely find care for my cat & my dog, already stuck in crate for hours. All the sitters replied "unavailable", but Ted responded "yes" & IMMEDIATELY jumped to action! He even brought his wife to help! I am so grateful to both for responsiveness, understanding and compassion, and for their INSTANT action and patience to operate in my messy place (I was amidst major cleaning when these unforeseen events happened)! I would love to use Ted's help again, hopefully in a less stressful situation. BIG THANKS & MY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!
