“Maria was readily available for a last minute booking and did an incredible job! We video called to show her the lay of the land and my girls just loved her!”

“Riley was amazing! Our dog is old, has movement issues, and needs medication. She was so great with him! She gave wonderful updates, consistently, about our dog and cat. She sent pictures daily and was super responsive! She was absolutely great to work with, easy to communicate with, and made our vacation so relaxing because we knew our pets were taken care of so well, while we were away! Highly recommend her!”

“It was our first experience with Rover and per sitter at all - and it went great. Sadie did a great job and followed all the instructions and we will definitely reach out again when needed!”

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. I have 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.
“Luna loves Shelly! She is very patient and kind to Luna who can be aggressively friendly at door when meeting her friends. She takes care to spend time with her which is a relief to me. I whole heartedly recommend Shelly!!!”

“Eronda was such a caring and loving person whit my maxis, I’m sure they loved to spend this time whit her. She send me updates and pictures everyday after a walk and I can say they were calm, pampered and very happy. Thank you so much Eronda, there’s no better feeling than to know your furry babies are safe and having some love ❤️.”


“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!”

“Maddi was a responsive, flexible and attentive caretaker for my two young house cats. I really appreciated her prompt communications and the photos she sent gave me peace of mind while I was gone on my week-long trip. Would use again, thanks Maddi!”

“Highly recommend Tiffany to take care of your fur babies!! She provided updates with photos and spent time playing with my cats during check-ins. My cats seemed very comfortable around her as well :) Thank you!!”


“Sarah is a wonderful sitter. She is very patient with my nervous dog, a great communicator, and goes above and beyond in taking care of the crew and leaving the house tidy.”

“Abigail was awesome and I’m so happy my kitties loved her as much as she loved them. My shy one even came out to play which is a big deal!! Very responsive when I had random things come up and was very personable as well. Will definitely be using again!”

About: I've had more than half a dozen cats and dogs each throughout my life. I've helped feed them, give them water, walk them, and try to give them the happiest lives possible. These pets have been my best friends, even more so than most people that I've met. I absolutely love animals and always make them my priority! I'm a student at the University of Pittsburgh looking for a part time job when I am home on break, and weekend work when I am at school. I love pets and tend to have a lot of free time at home and on weekends! My pets are technically my parents', but I often walk them because I want to get them outside and it's fun for me. I also feed them and make sure they have water in their dishes. I usually take my dogs as far as they want to go, whether it's for just a block, or for a few miles. I love to snuggle up with my dogs more than anything!
“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!”

Duquesne Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lena was a great sitter for Z! She gave him regular drop ins and communicated directly through the app so I knew when she arrived and when she left. She included a bunch of photos and ended each message confirming that she locked the door and handed off my keys. Will definitely look for her again in the future!

Danielle was fantastic with my cat ZuZu! I received detailed updates and photos during every visit, which gave me such peace of mind. She followed all feeding instructions perfectly, kept the litter boxes clean and spent extra time playing with her. My cat who is usually shy loved her. I would definitely recommend Danielle and we will certainly be repeat customers. Thank you for everything!

I would highly recommend Soephie to any person with nervous cats. My very introverted cat only took a day and a half to grow fond of her and even play and seek affection. She took such great care of my little ones and sent very detailed updates at every visit. As an anxious cat owner, I felt super comfortable leaving them in her care for 4 days and she even vacuumed my cat room to take some pressure off an upcoming move to a new house! 10/5 wasn't a star rating option.

We are so thankful to have found Kasey and Alyssa! They are amazing. Very warm and friendly and know what they are doing. Our dogs took to them immediately. We feel so relieved to have found a good fit for what we were looking for in help with drop-in visits (people who know and understand older dogs, who have great communication and are kind). We will definitely be making more repeat bookings. Thank you both for being PAWsome!🐾

Annie was great! Was able to book with short notice for drop in visits over the holidays. Very communicative and even our shy kitty warmed up to her. Annie was gave updates daily with pictures and how they were doing, even giving our little one her asthma medicine.
