“Iana was fantastic! Very communicative and good with our two dogs. She spent time with them and made sure to update us each visit. She was very flexible and accommodating so we will seek her again.”
“Olivia was wonderful! She did a great job taking care of our cats while we were away. Communication was great and based on the daily updates we got, our normally shy cats loved her visits. Will be booking with her in the future!”
“Tony is friendly, professional, and a very compassionate cat sitter. My kitty can be a handful and Tony was perfect for the task. I would recommend him to anyone. I couldn't be happier!”
“Jamie was terrific. She was very flexible with a change in schedule and took great care of my elderly cat. He is generally very shy but came out to meet her and follow her around on every visit! We will definitely book with her again!”
“Im trying to find a sitter for my vacation and have been looking everywhere in west mifflin area, south. I also have been taking my dogs to homes to watch them while away, I am newly divorced and my dogs have always gone everywhere with us, but this year as I have them on my own would be too much for one person. I found Alyssa and had no reviews but was in West Mifflin area and does house sitting. This would be a score, but with no reviews very hesitant. Both my dogs have had TPLO surgery and my oldest has a slight neck issue. Our first encounter was a video call. We talked quite some time and I automatically felt at ease. Alyssa is personable, and seems very genuine. We set up a drop in as I left to meet a friend. When Alyssa came to my home, my dogs loved her. Parker even did his under leg walk on her. I felt at ease with my dogs being watch, but also felt my home was in good hands as well. We are working with Alyssa for more visits in the next month until I leave for vacation to become acclimated. My dogs are my kids and think they are human. They have been thru alot with me and I am very particular of who watches my dogs so this is a huge win for us.”
“Kaylee was always on time or early for her check in with my Cane corso. She got lots of love and attention during her visits and nice walks during the day. My home was in perfect condition while visita occurred. She left many pictures and was responsive on communication when messaging. I would book her again in a heartbeat. This was my first hiring on rover and it was a great experience. I felt at ease leaving my Luna girl and home in Kaylees hands. Thank you again!”
“David took amazing care of our pup. He was kind and gentle with ducky and send tons of photos. He checked in frequently and followed verbal instructions very well despite my mistake of forgetting to leave written instructions. Will be our go to when we need a sitter. Thanks David!”
About: Hi. I'm Justin and thank you for checking out my profile. I grew up with a Sharpei, German Shepard and Chow Chow. In college I raised a Rottweiler/German Shepard Mix. On my own, I have been lucky to have a Sharpei (senior rescue) and Rottweiller (senior rescue). I am a dog person through and through. I treat each dog like they were my own and give them the best care possible while their owners are away. I think the most important things when it comes to dogs, whether it is a short walk or a weeks long boarding are (1) advocate for the dog, ensuring it feels safe and has a positive experience (2) understanding and respecting each dog's boundaries. I have raised multiple puppies and have worked with multiple dog trainers/behaviorists, so understand basics of training. I have rescued multiple senior dogs and have senior dog experience ranging from dispensing medicine to understanding that older dogs sometimes just need to take everything a little slower. I have also had challenging dogs- not properly socialized to dogs, leash pulling dogs to those with a bite history. Overall, I will do everything I can to ensure your dog feels safe and has enjoyable time. I recently left my career day job so that I can care of my aging mom. I facilitate her day-to-day taking her to/from senior programs. As such, I do have quite a bit of free time on my hands and aside from a few fixed days/times where I am not available, my schedule is fairly flexible and will try my best to accommodate. I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. If needed, I can meet ahead of time and we can discuss any specific needs your dog(s) may have. When walking your dog, I let the dog determine how long of a walk we go on to make sure I don’t tire them out too much or not exercise them enough. I also encourage dogs to sniff to their hearts' content.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since the beginning of my middle school years. I got my first puppy when I was 11, and was able to do many months of research to make sure my puppy was able to get the proper training to learn the necessary commands and some tricks. I’ve learned patience and consistency not inly with but my other animals as well. As a part-time worker, I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Daily, I am already engaging in walks, and having a pet companion can make it much more exciting! I prefer to keep dogs within their own environments in order to bring them the most comfort as possible. By being in their own home routines can be enforced within the comfort of their own homes
“Hannah did an absolutely spectacular job. We have three cats who crave attention, and Hannah gave them plenty! She went above and beyond during her drop in visits. We received plenty of pictures while we were gone. Definitely going to be using Hannah as our sitter again!”
“Ananda took wonderful care of our sweet but finicky cat ahead of the holidays! She went above beyond to read care instructions beforehand, sent regular, detailed updates with pictures that put us at ease, and even took the time to feed the wild birds in our yard. Truly an animal person!”
“Erin did a great job taking care of my kitty while we were on vacation! She did occasional drop in visits to play with Zelda, feed her, clean the litter box etc. for the two weeks we were gone. Everything was well taken care of, and Zelda is happy!”
About: I have always had animals and pets around me and never hesitated to take care of others pets when needed. Grew up with three labradors, a cat, and a bird. I currently have my own cat with my partner! I am currently working full-time remote. I can be flexible on the location I work from depending on my meeting load on any given day. I can be more flexible after 5pm for other activities. Usually, my Sundays are busy with church and meal-prepping/running errands. I do not offer service in my home. However, I will treat your home with the most safety and respect to you and your pets environment as though it were my own.
“Amanda provided excellent care for my cat while I was away, with daily updates and photos. I highly recommend her. If I ever need a cat sitter in the future, I plan to rebook.”
About: I have trained my pets well, I will care and make sure they get the things they need. I want to leave your best friends in the best hands. I have random school hours near my home. I am available mostly evenings and weekends and even most mornings I can check on the animals. We have a dog that could keep your animal company, we also have done up basement if your pet prefers to be alone. We have an open back yard, so we'll just keep a leash on the pet when outside.

Justin W.
“I highly recommend Justin for walks, dog sits, and anything else. Specifically, Justin's patience, care, intelligence, kindness and first-hand experience make him an ideal dog walker or sitter for your pups. Why I recommend him: - Justin adopted a very senior, very high-needs large breed foster dog from me a few years ago. Getting through the adoption process alone was intensive (I was very strict with this particular pup's prospective owners), but Justin has proven himself to be an above and beyond dog owner in the many years since his dog's adoption. -Justin took a 90-lb dog that required consistent, patient training to just coexist in a busy setting and has turned him into a dog that can not only be around guests in a home, but also coexists with cats (!!) and can settle and accompany his owner peacefully in a coffee shop or on daily errands. - Not only that, but Justin worked steadily to intentionally improve his dog's body handling and socialize him to make vet visits or strangers touching this dog even easier. - This level of foresight (with a senior pup that will require additional medical care in the future) speaks to the type of care, kindness, and structure I want all dogs to receive from their sitters. Justin is also a ton of fun with dogs– he's made up games for his vision-impaired dog, taught him new tricks, and I'm pretty sure he's bought him every toy available just to see which specific goofy ball he likes best in the end. Totally recommend this guy for your dog's needs. Hire Justin!”
Jasmine B.
“I can't say enough good things about Jasmine, our dog walker! She has been an absolute lifesaver for our pup, Bruno. From day one, Jasmine was reliable, attentive, and so kind to him. She tailors each walk to Bruno's needs and always goes the extra mile to ensure he’s happy and well-exercised. Jasmine is not just a dog walker, she’s a true pet lover, and it shows in the care she gives. I never worry when she’s taking care Bruno, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate dog walker!”

Lindsey B.
“Lindsey is the most caring and compassionate woman you will ever meet. She has been a pet owner her entire life and has so lovingly cared for each fur baby that has been in her life. From dogs to cats and birds, Lindsey has an intuitive understanding of caring for animals. Not only will you, personally, be delighted to meet Lindsey, but your fur baby will love her, also. She’s friendly, caring, and very respectful and responsible in her life. She will bring the utmost highest of standards to you and the care of your pets. I highly recommend Lindsey for any and all of your pet care needs. You have struck gold with Lindsey.”

East Pittsburgh pet parents share their Rover experiences
David performed all that we asked of him, and more. Our cat is not a lap cat, often standoffish, especially around strangers. David has good a rapport as could be expected with our cat Jasmine. David also performed some other favors for us, even bringing in the mail and packages every few days, I should also mention that David faithfully sent us a photo or video of Jasmine on each of his visits. I only wish Jasmine were more personable to reciprocate the care he gave her. We will be happy to seek David's services again, and hope he is available when our ned arises!
I have never left my cat in the care of a stranger before, so after my original sitter fell through I was incredibly nervous when booking a new one, but Cheyenne was perfect. She was available last minute, was super sweet, and sent such cute videos and photos of her with my kitty, who she seemed to do very well with. If I ever find myself needing a cat sitter again I know exactly who to call.
This was our first time using Rover and we were so lucky to connect with our neighbor Ann! Ann is a warm and direct communicator and was wonderful to work with. She is flexible, prompt, responsive, kept us informed, and was generous with extra gestures to look out for our home and cats while we were away for a week. We had never worked with a pet sitter we didn't already know personally, and Ann really put us at ease. Our cats were relaxed and well cared for when we got home. We're thankful to have met Ann and look forward to working with her in the future :) Thank you Ann!
