About: I've owned a animal all my life I had 2 cats one was almost 19 the other was 21 and I've owned dogs in the past as well throughout childhood I am very active and tend to walk a lot during the day due to lack of vehicle so I'm fit I've also been working with my aunt in dog training so I know how to properly handle a dog if you need your dog walked in a particular way because of training I'll incorporate it into our walk your dogs needs are my priority I currently am working a full time job but I'm willing to walk anytime I am free I love working with animals and I have worked with big and small animals just shoot me a text and we can work into each other's schedule but I also have to walk and bus places so it might not always align and I'm so sorry hoping to have a car soon! I tended to aim for a routine that's what my animals stuck best with I also leaned more towards stop until the animal processes and understands that I am trying to help them and that they are listening to me is the best thing at that moment (like if they need to sit for safety with vehicles or stopping from eating something that isn't safe)
About: I’ve been a Veterinary Technician for the past 3 years, however I have been taking care of animals all my life. I have years of experience from my own dogs and cats as well as other families’. From puppies/kittens to the senior babies I can help out wherever you need it :) I am canine/feline CPR trained I work full time at a veterinary clinic, so I have time in the afternoons/evenings for walks or drop ins! Boarding availability on weekends :) I have two friendly cats who free roam my house. I feel very strongly that pets are family and should be treated as so. With that being said I take many precautions to keep them safe in your home as well as my home.
About: I have had a dog for 7 years! He is super playful and joyous. I have had to brush his teeth, clip his nails, and give him medicine, along with all other responsibilities that come with a dog. I love big dogs and am very patient with all animals. I currently work part-time and have availability in the mornings and nights! I walk everyday and am hoping to include a pet in my daily walks! I am very tidy and considerate of people's space as well as the animal's environment. I take care to keep anything dangerous locked away from my pets in my home and am very careful with opening and closing doors to the outside due to my cat!
About: I’ve owned an array of animals throughout my life, both with my family and on my own! I have the most experience with dogs and cats, having watched both for family and friends. As the owner of an anxious, reactive pup, I am equipped to handle all your pets needs! I currently work part-time as a makeup artist at Sephora Friday-Sunday, typically 11am-7pm. Given the nature of my job I have quite a flexible schedule! I treat every pet like they are my own! Any instructions you leave will be followed to t and plenty of updates will be given (including pictures of course!)
“I can’t recommend Michelle enough! She took exceptional care of my pet while I was away—treating them with love, patience, and attention like they were her own. I got regular updates, cute photos, and total peace of mind knowing my pet was in great hands. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond, look no further!”
About: Hi! I’m Dani — I have several years of experience caring for pets and love working with animals of all sizes and personalities.

About: Experience in dog and cat sitting. I do not currently have any pets of my own, but enjoy spending time and looking after pets of my family members and friends whenever they are traveling. Wherever the pets are at a function is where you’ll find me! I am flexible and can work around your schedule! I can do house visits, walks, and overnight stays if needed. For overnight stays - I do some work remotely so would just need access to WiFi. I am happy to follow your normal routine for your beloved pet and will provide frequent updates and photos to show how they are doing throughout the day.
“We recently entrusted our beloved pets to a Kayla for a two-week period, and we couldn't be happier with the outstanding care she provided. Kayla went above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of our family members, earning our utmost trust and gratitude. Throughout our time away, Kayla maintained consistent communication, providing regular updates on our pets. Furthermore, Kayla demonstrated exceptional professionalism and reliability. We wholeheartedly recommend Kayla to anyone in need of reliable and caring pet care. Her passion, professionalism, and dedication to our pets' happiness and well-being exceeded our expectations. We will undoubtedly reach out to her for future pet-sitting needs. Thank you once again for your exceptional service!”
“Ryan was an excellent find! Pleasant, dependable, and responsive, he did a fantastic job of taking care of my three cats while we were away for almost two weeks. Not only did he take care of my boys, he also brought in all the packages that we received while we were gone. He will be my first call when I need a pet care from here on out. Thanks Ryan!!”
“I had the utmost positive experience by having Brandon looking after Midnight. He provided daily check-ins and treated Midnight super well. Once I was back, I could tell that Midnight was very comfortable with you. I will definitely book it again. Thank you so much Brandon!”
“I booked Sarah through Rover to check in on my pets while I was on vacation, and she was amazing! She visited daily, walked Yogi three times a day, and made sure Luna was happy and cared for. I loved getting picture updates, and she contacted me right away with any concerns. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were well cared for, which let me really enjoy my trip. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been caring for animals of many species all of my life from dog and cats to horses and snakes, frogs, birds and everything in between. Pet care has been my career. I have worked with animals of all ages and abilities and can provide specialized care for animals who need it. In addition to my animal husbandry experience I am also an accredited fear free dog trainer, so I am willing to care for dogs with behavioral issues and I can provide enrichment during visits. I work part time as a dog trainer and part time as a pet sitter, most of my availability for pet sitting is during the daytime and weekdays. Safety is my utmost priority when it comes to my clients pets. I use fear free techniques while engaging with pets and I always double check to make sure pets are secured in their gear while walking and back in their home upon return. I am vigilant on walks to keep distance from hazards and triggers for reactive dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was a teenager in high school. My friends, family, and neighbors would rely on and trust me to check-in, walk, feed, and care for their pets while they were out of town and would return home knowing their pets were well cared for while they were away! I am a recent Physician Assistant graduate looking for part-time work while studying for my boards! Rover allows me to create the perfect work schedule for myself, while also allowing sufficient time during my day to focus on my studies.

“Kaitlyn was an amazing pet sitter for our 120 pound great pyr/ GSD mix! While our dog can be a bit tough meeting new people, Kaitlyn dove right in and provided regular check ins, potty breaks, and playtime for our boy. Would highly recommend!”
About: I take pride in making sure animals not only have their basic needs met but also can get the socialization and fun time they need (whether we are actively playing or sitting quietly together). My experience includes: - Dog care (bathroom breaks, feeding, puppy care, playing together, sitting together) - Feline care (refilling wet or dry food, refilling water, brushing coats, playing, sitting and spending time together) - Poultry care (including measuring and distributing feed, refilling water, cleaning coops, giving baths, general checks for infected feet or other ailments) - Equine care (including measuring and distributing feed, refilling water, refilling troughs, bathing, brushing, and hair braiding) - Medication administration (pills and liquid syringe orally) - Taking lots of update pictures of your friend to send to you!

I am available for hire most days of the week, including weekends, so that you can travel and do what you need knowing your friend is comfortable at home and in good hands. Safety is the number one priority for myself and your friend and will be taken as upmost importance at all times. I understand that each animal has their own unique personality and lifestyle-- I make sure to carefully observe their behaviors and tendencies when providing care you need for them in order to keep them happy and comfortable. Please feel free to ask me questions at any time.
About: Hi, I'm Sam! I grew up with pets my whole life — birds first, then dogs — so caring for animals has always felt like second nature to me. I've been dog walking and sitting since 2022, and I also sit for cats. I'm comfortable administering medication when needed too. I work a hybrid schedule, so on weekdays I'm typically out of the house for a few hours during the day — your pet's routine (feeding, walks, downtime) stays consistent around that. I'm very communicative before and during every stay, and I want to know exactly what your pet needs to make sure they're comfortable while you're away. Your pet's comfort and safety are my top priority, and I love building an ongoing relationship with the pets I care for. I’d love to meet you and your pup (or pets!) soon. I currently work a flexible hybrid schedule, so I have plenty of time to dedicate towards giving your furry friend the love and attention they want and need! I am very very receptive to the needs/wants of the owner of the dog/cat and am also quite good at judging when furry friends are unhappy or stressed. I will be certain to follow the owner’s instructions and reach out if anything is unclear!
About: I love dogs and grew up with them! Though I don't have the space for them now, I've been missing some puppy playtime! Both of my parents are vets as well, so I'm also pretty well versed in all things pet care! I do work full-time, but a lot of my job can be done from home depending on the amount of notice I have before discussing that with my boss. That being said my weekends are pretty open as well as the occasional monday. I typically work from home every other monday! I love all animals! Growing up I had 2 dogs and then foster failed 2 cats! Those 2 cats currently live with my parents, but I'm bringing them up here when I move into my own place. Both of my roommates also have cats!
About: I’ve been working with a variety of dogs of all different breeds for roughly 6 years via dog walking, dog sitting, etc! I love dogs of all kinds! I’m a doctoral student of occupational therapy, so most of my time is spent working via fieldwork and doing homework. I am free on Tuesdays & Thursdays for drop ins/walks, and on weekends for housesitting. I’m happy to help with any household needs specified during housesitting! Please leave me comprehensive instructions for caring for your pet(s), including meal details/times, walking schedule, etc.

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!

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.

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 Meet & Greet .
