“We really loved Ann! She was efficient, organized, and friendly. She had a natural rapport with our dogs, which made us feel very comfortable. She was also very easy to communicate with. We highly recommend Ann!”


“Mariah was wonderful - and so incredibly accommodating to our needs, as we travel across country. She took the girls, (Cher and Dion), on long walks to see the sights and sniffs of the city - and provided me with all the pictures I could ever want. Couldn't recommend her enough and will definitely be reaching out again the next time we're back in Pittsburgh.”


“CK was great with my dog and cat, and very communicative! He was even able to come back and check on the animals later than planned when we were delayed coming home. Would definitely book again!”


“Sydney was so wonderful to work with! She took care to ask thoughtful questions to get to know us and Roxy during our Meet & Greet. She was very communicative before and during the dog-sitting, sent us lots of updates and cute pictures, and gave us a full summary of their time together when we got home. We are looking forward to booking with Sydney again!”


“My wife and I couldn’t have been more pleased with Kristina, who house sat and took tender care of Murray: our energetic, loving, high-anxiety English Springer Spaniel. Kristina watched Murray for six days & five nights (while Fletcher had a different dog-sitting gig). Kristina made sure Murray’s daily routine of exercise, playtime, and being brushed didn’t miss a beat. She also kept his anxiety in check (which isn’t easy!) by being with him as much as she could. We know all that, in part, because when we returned home from our trip, Murray had plenty of licking kisses for Kristina before she left. Kristina also thoughtfully stayed in touch with us during our time away by providing daily updates & pics. She even went above & beyond what would be expected of a house sitter by going into our creepy unfinished basement at one point and climbing on a ladder to shut off a water valve to a leaking outside faucet. We returned to our clean home just as we left it, with the dishwasher run. We will happily use Kristina again (& Fletcher, too, who we met during a meet & greet and is clearly a conscientious dog lover)!”


“Maura was great- very communicative and sent lots of photos of my dog, Bentley which I appreciated it! I look forward to working with Maura more in the future!”


“Alyssa did a fantastic job watching our dog Thor when we went out of town for an extra long weekend. She showed up on time, excited and prepared for the visit. Sent pictures and updates a few times everyday, which gave us peace of mind. We will be using her again in the future.”


About: I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for dogs of all kinds, including reactive pups and those needing medication. I truly love animals and take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs. Working from home allows me to be flexible and fully present—your pet gets real attention, not just a quick visit. I work from home so I have to ability to step away to care for people’s pets. I am also available most days and times It’s more than just walking dogs or making sure they have food and water. I want to make sure they know they are cared for emotionally as well and get some energy out by playing and interacting

“Traisaun does a great job with our fur kids. We can always tell how good of a time they had by how excited they are when we get back. Even though we were gone for the weekend, they barely acted like we had gone to the store, which means they barely missed us not being here. Even the rabbit, who doesn’t like everyone, looks around for Traisaun after he leaves. Aside from being great with our fur kids, Traisaun is very reliable and trustworthy. We will continue to hire Traisaun as long as we can!”


“Kristin was wonderful. She took excellent care of Baxter. They took lots of walks. She went above and beyond. Everything was neat and clean when I got home. She's new to Rover and was perfect. I will definitely use her again.”


“Heather was absolutely amazing! With a senior dog with some medical issues we had her come stay in our house while we were away. She followed all instructions and gave us a daily update of cuteness with a picture. All of the dogs meds were administered and he got a daily walk. I would absolutely recommend Heather to others.”


“Jessica was great with Franklin! She is very sweet and you can tell she loves animals. She sent lots of updates and pictures of Franklin. She also left my house in perfect condition.”


“Regan is great! She was super communicative and made sure all was well with our senior diabetic cat who needs shots twice a day and our hyper young cattle dog. Very grateful for her!”


“Alex was once again so great with our pups! He went out of his way to comfort our older dog who gets very anxious during storms and provided great communication. We were able to enjoy our weekend always free of worries.”


“This was our first time leaving our dog with someone who wasn’t family and we were very anxious about it, however, Keilah was amazing. She came over to our house and met Millie before we left to ensure a smooth transition. Additionally, she sent updates, pictures, and videos of our pup to reassure us everything was going great. I’m sure Millie will miss her! Cannot recommend enough, we will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you, Keilah!”


“Aidan housesit with our two cats. He was responsive and took great care of them. He sent pictures, kept the house clean, and helped us take out the trash since we came back after trash day. I would recommend him and have him sit with our cats again!”


“Flora was an absolute dog mom's dream! I had my normal sitter cancelled two night before our trip, and I came across Flora and she came the next evening to meet the dogs! With her experience with rescue dogs, I knew it would be a great fit. She sent pictures and checked in to let me know everything was going just fine. I'm a top notch dog mom worrier, so it was comforting. Can't wait to have Flora back! Highly recommend her to come and love your furkiddos! :)”


“Elizabeth was an amazing catsitter for my 2 cats! She sent lots of photos, followed feeding instructions, and really really took the time to get to know my cats. From the meet and greet they loved her! I highly recommend and will be re-booking when I need a sitter again.”


“Sierra made it easy and relaxing to leave my pets behind when my plans for a trip changed late in the game. I appreciated her attentiveness and flexibility, and I came home to happy pets!”


“Tree is one of the most trustworthy dog sitters we have ever had! We never have to worry about our pups being loved and cared for while we are gone.”

“Sydney is amazing! My dogs are like my children, and I don’t trust their care to just anyone. I have had Sydney watch my pets on multiple occasions and she has proven to be reliable, caring, professional, and overall does an incredible job. She treats my dogs like they are her own. She makes sure they get plenty of exercise, treats, and love while I am away. Sydney also communicates very well and always sends me photos and messages to update me on how they are doing. I highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a dog walker or pet sitter.”
