“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!”


“Daniel was consistent in doing the drop off each day and communicated with us if there were issues. He seemed to genuinely enjoy dogs which we appreciated!”


“Kathleen was great. We needed a short-notice stop in so we could attend to a family emergency and she was quick to reply and take the weight of cat care off our minds. She came right on time and sent plenty of pictures of the cats, plus one of their food bowls so we knew they were well fed.”



“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!”


“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!”


“The best sitter I have ever had! I always get anxiety leaving my senior cat but Cori alleviated my anxiety because they genuinely loved and cared for my cat! Highly recommend!!!!”


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.


“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.”


“I have had such a great experience with Hannah taking care of my dog! Being a new dog owner, Hannah has eased my mind when I was away by keeping my dog happy, comfortable, playing with him, and giving him all the cuddles! She is very easy to communicate and schedule with and always keeps me updated about her visits with my pup. I’m glad that when I can’t be with my dog, Hannah is there to keep him company!”


“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 have taken care of cats for years for family, friends, and neighbors. I raised my own 2 cats from kittens to adulthood. Both of my own kitties require daily medication, so I am experienced with administering both pills and liquid medication. I love every single cat from the grumpiest babies to the cuddliest! :) I am new to dog sitting, but have watched dogs for friends and family. I absolutely love all furry friends! I am available to dog sit in clients homes, but am not able to board as I have two shy kitties at home. :) I currently have a hybrid work schedule, so I have lots of flexibility to play with your furry babies! I’m available both weekdays and weekends for care. I am a very loving, considerate, and clean cat and house sitter. I value keeping clients’ homes in immaculate condition, and caring for pets like they are my own.

About: Hi! I’m a vet tech with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve helped with basic training, medication administration, and providing calm, loving care for pups with special needs. I also have experience with a variety of animals — I currently have 2 guinea pigs and have cared for geckos, turtles, and more. Whether your dog needs playtime, structure, or snuggles, I’m here to make them feel safe and happy while you’re away! I have worked in dog boarding/daycare for four years! I have had a lot of experience with different breeds and temperaments! I currently work full-time but have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for your pets before and after work. Since I start my day at 10:30 AM, I’m available in the mornings for feedings, walks, and check-ins to make sure your pet starts their day happy and cared for. I’m also available in the evenings after 5:30 PM for dinner, walks, playtime, or medication. On weekends, I’m fully available for pet sitting, longer visits, or overnight care. Your pets will receive loving, reliable care from a dedicated vet tech and fellow pet parent! Whether caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, my top priority is making sure each animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine—feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medical needs—so pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I provide updates with photos or messages so you always know how your pet is doing. In my own home, pets are treated like family with plenty of attention, enrichment, and a clean, cozy space to relax. I’m mindful of each pet’s unique personality and needs, and I always strive to make their time with me as stress-free and happy as possible.

“Dana is so sweet and helpful with Ellie. I’m so grateful she’s always willing to help”


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’m currently working part time, so I am able to care for your pets any day and time before 2 pm! Weekends are definitely flexible! 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. I have a spare room that can serve as a safe space for pets that may feel overwhelmed.

About: With 13 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other small animals, I know that every pet is unique—and I treat them like family. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply keeping their routine consistent, I provide compassionate, dependable care tailored to your pet’s needs. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Whether you’re traveling or just need a helping hand, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels loved and stress-free in your absence. Let’s chat—I’d love to meet you and your pet! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my day around the needs of the pets I’m caring for—whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings and playtime. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to be reliable and consistent, especially for pets who thrive on routine. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended stays, I make sure every visit gets my full attention and care. Pet sitting isn’t just a side gig for me—it’s something I take seriously and truly enjoy.

“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!”


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!

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.

“Coco has proven themselves greatly I have a dog with severe allergies and coco has proven to care for. Feed and give proper medical attention to said dog. I trust coco around any animal”


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.

Jordyn did a great job watching our dog. We appreciated her commentary and kindness as well as photos. We will definitely consider using her again if the need arises! Thanks Jordyn!

Theresa watched my cat Chubbs for me last minute over the 4th of July and he loved her! Sent lot of pics of him too!

Did a great job of taking care of the kids! They were happy and healthy when I came home. Helped me out a lot! Thanks again!

Ashley provided thorough updates while I was away, and I came home to two very content and well cared for kitties. I wouldn't hesitate to book Ashley again!

Ericka showed up right on time as scheduled. She interacted well with Toby. Look forward to her watching him for the next few days.

Nina was great! We had a meet and greet and she was very nice. She took care of Stella and sent picks. She was very responsive with her communication. Definitely recommend her and will be asking her to check on Stella again!

As a first time Rover client, I have to admit I was nervous. The first update Alex provided immediately calmed those nerves, and the following messages assured they didn't come back. A thoughtful and thorough communicator, I'd recommend Alex again and again!

Alyx is a great dog sitter. She took the time to stay with my dog until she was comfortable to go outside. She's moving out of my area or else I would book her over and over again.

Krista is just wonderful!!!--she took such good care of our beloved cat! Krista provided detailed notes and great photos daily! Krista also helped out by checking on the mail and plants. A million thanks to Krista!!!

Wonderful amazing job!! Very organized and responsible. So glad I found her to help out!! Thanks Leah!!

Lee is the best! She always takes such good care of our cats while we are away. I especially appreciate her making the trek each day in the snow and ice for 3 years in a row during our winter vacations!

Susan is very good with my little puppy. She’s been patient with her and the little doggo is definitely in a better mental state when I get home from work!

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

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.

Chelsea was great with our new dog, Dexter. We didn’t want to leave him alone as he is new to our family so Chelsea came to hang out with him. He seemed like a happy boy after their visit!
