“Jen was AMAZING. She took such good care of our 4 year old Shorkie. We decided to try Rover after leaving Lacey at a kennel this summer. This was by far the best alternative! Rover made the process easy. Their “vetting” of Jen made her the easy choice. She sent us updates for each visit. After our 1st meeting with Jen, we were confident Lacey and our home would be in good hands. And we were not disappointed. She meet and exceeded our expectations. We will be using her again without reservation and highly recommend her to anyone.”


“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 😊”


“Kara was great! She came to meet our dog first before the drop in. He loved her. She followed instructions and sent lots of pics. Would definitely book her again!”


“Katie did a great job looking after our two cats. She left us thorough notes on what she did during each visit and sent lots of photos. She even volunteered to vacuum litter on the floor, which was above and beyond what we expected. One of our cats is very shy, and we were impressed that he felt comfortable with Katie after just a few days. This was our first time leaving our cats with a sitter, and Katie made the experience stress-free for us. We will definitely rebook with her next time we go away!”


“Cori is awesome!! She took great care of my kitties, even the one that hid under the covers every time, lol. She is kind and personable, and you can tell she loves animals! I loved all the pics she sent me of my fur babies. I would definitely recommend her for your pet care needs and would absolutely rebook her for my next vacation!”


“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.”



“Natalie did a great job watching my nervous cat Luna! She gave me daily updates on how Luna was warming up to her and included some cute pics. Definitely recommend!”


“Erica was great with my dogs! She was super attentive and let me know everything that was going on while I was away. She even brought toys for my girls to keep. She is lovely and I highly recommend her!”


About: I limit the number of pets so they get personalized love and attention. From shy senior cats to high-energy puppies, I have had and worked with all ages and needs. I provide frequent updates catered to the owner’s request. I like to build trust through consistence and long-term relationships so your pet sees a familiar face and is happy. I am retiring from teaching and will have a part time work-from-home job and will have plenty of time for love and cuddles with your pets. I walk several times a day so your dog (or walking cat), gets plenty of exercise. I have a fenced in covered patio so they get plenty of fresh air! Again, I walk several times a day, have a park at the end of my road, I have a fenced in patio and there is a dog park within walking distance of my home. If they ride well in a car, I will take them to a big park for walks and dog park socialization. I have had dogs since I was born and cats all of my adult life. I have watched many animals for friends, families, neighbors, etc. I have had rabbits, turtles, fish, iguanas as well. I have a special place in my heart for animals.

“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!!”

“Abby was awesome! This was the first time we used her and will definitely be booking again! Our three cats were very well taken care of and she made sure all our mail and packages were brought in.”


About: I love animals and have taken care of dogs and cats since I was about 8. I now own 2 cats and a senior dog of my own! I work part time during summers so when I have free time I love to spend my days with my 2 cats and senior dog. My animals are my top priority so I make sure that I provide them with ample attention each day! I am very hands on with my pets and observant of their behavior. Developing a connection with each animal can help build mutual trust, and I will do that to the best of my ability with each animal I care for. For boarding bookings, I have a spare room that can serve as a safe space for pets that may feel overwhelmed or need isolation.

“Lauren is absolutely awesome. She is great with the dogs, follows instructions, and has great communication. She is also flexible which was a huge bonus. She sends pictures after every visit and lets you know how everything went. I have full trust in her and would definitely recommend her.”



“We appreciate Kathleen being available on the holiday so we could spend time visiting family and not have to worry about Archie :-) she was on time and sent lots of pics and videos. Thanks Kathleen! Archie looks forward to seeing you on nye.”


“Very accommodating especially for being on short notice”


About: I have had a lot of experience, taking care of cats and dogs over the years. They were all taken care of with love. I can administer meds if they can be given orally. I take care of my two cats daily. I always make sure they have toys, time outside, weather permitting, with an electric fence to keep them safe. Fresh water from a water fountain, clean litter boxes, Royal Canin dry cat food, play time and lots of love. They are also members of Bansfield Hospital to make sure they are keep healthy. Whenever I would watch a cat in somebody’s home or have a drop in at someone’s home, I would make sure that all of their needs were met by following the Cat owners requests. I would also take my time in introducing myself to the cats that that are shy. I will give them a lot of love and attention and make sure that they were totally taken care of the way I take care of my own cats. I will also take pictures of the cats, give updates and send them to the client

About: I grew up in a house of 3 or more medium/ large dogs ranging from a brittany spaniel to a greyhound and later a Jack Russell. As a teen was the go to dog sitter when my parents had to go on business trips, making sure I let them out, and fed them in their separate areas. I have house sat for 3 cats and dog. I have experience walking dogs as well as feeding them their appropriate diets. I would be happy to play with your pet and make them feel loved while you're away. More recently I have been the go to sitter for my friends sweet senior pup and his wild puppy sibling, where I worked on leash walking and teaching her how to sit. Depending on the pet and their needs I can be available whenever works for them! I will work around my schedule to make sure they are getting the time and attention they need! I care for pets like they're my own, which means taking care of them as specified. At the end of the day, I want your pet to be safe and happy!

About: I've had cats and dogs all my life. I grew up with 3 dogs, and once I was in college I had two Rottweilers that have since passed onto the rainbow bridge. They were my pride and joy - our favourite thing to do together was camp! Looking to fill the pet void by helping some fellow yinzers out. I take the upmost pride in keeping your animal safe and at ease. I won't take your precious fur baby anywhere unfamiliar, especially when first getting to know each other. I also will treat your animal as if they were mine. I am teacher who is on summer break and looking for a career change. I am available all days, anytime until I find my next gig. Once I have another full time job, I will update availability. I do not offer care in my own home (Husband is allergic). I have a kind demeanour and have always loved animals. Kindness leads all of my actions. I promise to keep your fur babies in good care.

“Aliya was very kind and followed all instructions I gave her. She sent picture updates and let me know how the drop in visit went.”


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 work as a housekeeper around the Pittsburgh area from about 7am-3pm mon-thursday, so will not be available in the home or for potty breaks during those hours. The absolute longest I would leave a pet during a house-sitting is 8 hours on those days. All other outings/errands would be less than four hours, tops, but usually only about an hour. 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 Rover, I did it years ago in Seattle as a side gig on my own with Craigslist posts, and have had a couple gigs on here so far. 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 7am-3pm mon-thursday around the greater Pittsburgh area. If you have multiple dogs who need round the clock supervision and you book me at least three weeks before the sitting start date, than we could work that out and I could block out my housekeeping schedule for that time and just be available for the sitting job (my rates will be increased in this situation as I am priced for my current availability, not constant care and being unable to make my normal wages during the sit). 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.

Cindy M.
“Cindy walks my puppy several times a week and she is fantastic! She is always so kind and gentle with her, and is helping her learn how to walk like the goodest girl. I have a couple rules - like using a gentle leader and staying away from the busy four lane road near us - and Cindy has always been respectful of them, which gives me so much peace of mind while they are out. I know I can trust Cindy to give her a safe, fun, and (hopefully!) tiring time. And judging by how happy my puppy always is to see her, I know she agrees!”

Hannah N.
“Hannah was raised in a household where we all cared for our own dogs and foster Greyhounds. She has always been a pet's best friend, caring for them diligently and with care and compassion. She participated in the training of our dogs and learned to how to keep even our temperamental Australian Mix safe from her own impulses. Even shy dogs and cats eventually warm up to Hannah's quiet patience. Hannah is even good with older and disabled animals. Please consider Hannah as a caretaker for your pets: dogs or cats. She's timely, clean, trustworthy and follows instructions. She cared for four pets in Kaiser Oregon last year for a vacationing family ...and she cared for the home as well. ”


Olivia A.
“I have 3 rambunctious but very loving dogs who have a strong need for attention. My oldest, Max, is a 14yr old senior dog who needs extra love and care. Olivia was not only very professional from the start, but she was gentle and attentive to their needs. My doggos loved her positive energy!! I can’t recommend her services enough.”


Aliya D.

“Aliya was very kind and followed all instructions I gave her. She sent picture updates and let me know how the drop in visit went.”


Mary S.
“I'm delighted to recommend Mary S. as a pet sitter on Rover. Having watched her grow up caring for our multiple cats and dog, plus numerous foster animals, I can confidently say she has a natural gift with animals. Mary genuinely "speaks cat" - she understands their unique personalities and body language, treating each one as an individual. She's particularly attuned to pets experiencing anxiety or depression, knowing exactly how to comfort them and meet them where they're at. What sets Mary apart is her medical knowledge and experience. Growing up in a veterinary household, she learned to administer subcutaneous fluids, manage diabetic pets with insulin injections, and recognize when a pet needs professional care. She combines this technical expertise with genuine warmth - during playtime, she gets down on their level and makes every pet feel special. Dogs adore her just as much as cats do. She's safety-conscious, responsible, and has that rare quality of making animals feel instantly comfortable. Mary is completely reliable - she won't skip anything in your pet's routine - and she's great about keeping owners updated with pictures and messages so you'll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Whether your pet needs specialized medical care or just lots of love and attention, Mary will treat them like family. She's exactly the kind of person I'd trust with my own pets. Eileen A. M.S.

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.

Billie Jean made three visits to help us with our dog Jane after TPLO surgery. She helped us with physical therapy and getting Janie outside. She was a huge help. We highly recommend her.
