“Jennifer took great care of our pets while we were out of town. She was punctual and she got along fine with our coonhound. I would use her again next time we go on a trip.”
“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 went above and beyond when taking care of our cat (daily visits - feeding, cat box, playtime etc.) She also has a way with cats - you can tell she has cats of her own. We highly recommend her and will definitely ask for Kara the next time we need a cat sitter if she’s available.”
“Alaska was amazing with our cats. She did 3 drop in visits with 3 cats. We came back and she even cleaned the cats bowls. She communicated with us and gave us updates!”

“Savannah was truly outstanding. I had just started fostering a dog a week prior to her coming in, and she stepped in flawlessly. Had no issue washing the bedding when an accident happened, exhausted both dogs and made them happy and safe through out the whole week. She’s competent, figured out where everything was, and professional to a T. Would rebook her for a longer vacation anytime.”

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!”

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.
