About: Although I do not currently have pets of my own, I have always loved animals and have been the go-to pet sitter for friends and colleagues since moving back to Pittsburgh in 2019. I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from quick check-ins to longer stays. Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible and I can provide consistent care, attention, and updates while you are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and your home, so I try to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. Since I do not have pets of my own, I genuinely enjoy getting to care for other people’s pets like they are part of my extended family. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I can provide pet care during the day, in the evenings, and on weekends depending on the booking. Because I can work from different locations, I’m able to spend quality time with pets during house sitting stays and provide consistent check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, and updates. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable with their usual routine, space, food, toys, and schedule. I always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding, medication, walks, litter care, crate routines, and any house rules. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I prioritize communication, safety, and calm, attentive care. I’ll also send updates so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs & cats since could remember, around 10 years plus. I have pets of my own and they are my world. One dog named Luna and a black cat named bean! I own my own cleaning business and make my own schedule, which gives me a lot of flexibility\! This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your fur babies and work around their routines and needs\. 🐾 I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and locations whenever possible! I live in a safe & quiet neighborhood, in a apartment in Edgewood area. I love all animals and would treat yours like my own.

About: I've had multiple dogs and cats my whole life and they have all been my best friends! We like to cuddle, go on walks and learn new skills. I'm no stranger to pets of all different personalities and know how to meet them where they are. I'm experienced in providing insulin to dogs and topical treatment to cats. I don't currently have pets of my own but have spent weeks looking after the cats and dogs of friends and family. I love those times that I'm able to bond with their fur babies and would love to get to know yours as well! I currently work remotely and can be available for boarding throughout the week and weekend. I'm available to hangout with your pets, take them on walks or bathroom breaks, feed times or personal enrichment, whatever they may need. I have a backyard that pets can run around in, it is fenced on one side only so they would need to have a long leash for safety. I don't have other pets so they wouldn't have any problems there! If coming to your home I'm happy to go by the rules that you set and the comfort levels that you have. I always find pets do best in their comfort zones anyway and I'm excited to meet them where they are!

About: I was born around Golden Retriever and my family currently has 2 Portuguese Water dogs, so I’m well prepared for the high energy pup and the frantic pups. I always take a patient perspective when it comes to the dogs and cats I care for. They are their own animals and understanding that allows them room to express themselves, so I can best care for them! I love animals and volunteer at various animal shelters to support my community. I dedicate full days each week for pet care. I make sure these days are free in case my clients need a more focused care. I work part time during the week, but am incredibly flexible which allows me to meet many pet care needs! I provide love, connection, food, water, walks, some cleaning of pet areas, etc. Whatever you would normally do for your pet I will oblige and assist you in that way
About: I provide a dedicated, high-attention environment where your pet’s comfort and personality are my top priorities. I’ve grown up around dogs since I was young, which has given me a deep, natural understanding of their behavior and how to keep them feeling safe and settled. Because I work from home full-time, your dog will have constant companionship and the flexibility for unlimited potty breaks whenever they need them. Your pet will enjoy a rock-solid routine with three structured walks a day—they are welcome to join my friendly dog for some neighborhood socialization, or I can walk them individually upon request to give them my undivided attention. I am happy to accommodate any specific feeding, medical, or behavioral needs with total care, ensuring your best friend receives the focused, reliable stay they deserve. Since I work from home, my schedule is built around providing active, attentive care. Your dog will enjoy a consistent routine of three daily walks, with the option to join my own dog for socialization or go individually for 1-on-1 time. Because I’m home all day, I have plenty of time for indoor play, "anytime" potty breaks, and can even accommodate trail adventures or dog park trips for pups with extra energy. Having grown up with dogs since I was young, I’m happy to accommodate any specific needs to ensure your pet feels safe and energized while you're away. Whether I am hosting in my home or visiting yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. My house is kept meticulously clean, and I am always vigilant about spotting potential hazards to ensure the environment is fully pet-proofed and secure. If your dog stays with me, they’ll have the company of my very friendly Corgi, Jack. He is incredibly social and has a natural way of helping even the most timid or shy dogs feel comfortable and included. I treat every home with a high level of respect and care, ensuring your pet feels safe and your space stays spotless while you are away.

About: I've been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Although I currently have a cat that I've cared for over the past four years, I've also grown up around dogs and understand the importance of providing them with patience, consistency, and lots of love. I'm currently pursuing my master's degree in social work at the University of Pittsburgh, and I bring the same compassion, responsibility, and attention to detail to pet care that I do in my studies. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know each pet and follow their owner's instructions closely, whether that means energetic walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking to a specific feeding schedule. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away, while giving you peace of mind through reliable communication and regular updates. My schedule is a bit more structured now that I’m balancing school and work, but I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works well for both of us! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, including overnights when needed. My typical weekly schedule is: • Monday: Working 9 AM–8 PM • Tuesday: Available until 12:30 PM; in class from 1:00–8:20 PM • Wednesday: Working 3-8 PM • Thursday: Working 9 AM–8 PM • Friday: Working 9 AM–5 PM • Saturday: Typically working 11 AM–3 PM • Sunday: Completely open While my schedule is busy with school and work, I’m always happy to communicate ahead of time and see if our schedules line up. I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, care, and companionship they need! At this time, I'm unable to board pets in my own home. However, I'm happy to provide care in your home, where your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always respect your space and carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, or house rules. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I grew up around animals—my family owned a pet store, and my grandparents ran a dog grooming business, so animal care has always been a big part of my life. I’m especially experienced with greyhounds and whippets, and I’ve spent a lot of time caring for beagles, German shorthaired pointers, German shepherds, and French bulldogs. I also have hands-on experience with exotic birds, as my family used to rescue them. I have been pet sitting full time for around a year, while I work from my computer. I have a social media marketing business that's pretty flexible. I prioritise safety, routine, and clear communication. I follow your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medication, and any training cues. I’m careful to respect boundaries, especially with dogs who are anxious, reactive, or still adjusting. I’m respectful of your home and always leave it clean and tidy. I secure doors and gates, double-check leashes and harnesses before walks, and make sure your pet is safe before leaving. I provide regular updates and photos so you know how things are going. If anything unexpected comes up, I’ll contact you right away and follow your instructions. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first.
“Sophie came to my rescue to watch my dog last minute. Caring and communicative. Treated my house and pup like family. Highly recommend!!! A big thank you Sophie. Looking forward to next time :)”
“Maddi took great care of our two cats while we were away. She provided great updates and photos that eased our minds while traveling. She gave lots of love to our more social cat and had patience with our more shy kitty. We would highly recommend her!”


About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life and love them so much! I have experience pet sitting for families all over my neighborhood and can even administer medications if needed. I would love to help take care of your pet! I’m a full time medical student, but love dogs and cats so I am extremely flexible and willing to take time out of my day to walk your dog or spend time with your cat. I am very familiar with skiddish dogs as both of my own are rescues. I will be sure to keep dogs on a leash at all times and walk them in safe areas.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fox Chapel
My dog instantly connected with Aubra at our meet and greet! She provided a couple of drop-in visits and was very punctual. She kept me updated with great communication throughout, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I could tell my dog was comfortable and well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Aubra.

For a vacation where everything that could go wrong almost did, Kayli was the one reliable positive thing that we had to deal with through our planning and travels! Kayli was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and was super understanding and easy going while dealing with our pipes freezing while she stayed with our pets. I also think our pets behaved better for her than they do for us!! I was a little reluctant to use rover as we have always had friends stay with our pets but I am so happy to have found Kayli!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fox Chapel choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
