“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!”



“Caitlyn was absolutely amazing with Miss Honey! From the moment they met, Caitlyn was so attentive, gentle, and kind; it was clear Miss Honey felt totally comfortable and cared for. We were able to enjoy the Pirates game without a single worry, knowing our girl was in such great hands. Caitlyn sent updates and photos that showed how happy Miss Honey was the whole time. It’s such a relief to find someone so trustworthy and loving. We especially appreciated how she checked the temperature of the pavement before taking our small dog for a walk; it is details like that made us appreciate Caitlyn so much. We’ll definitely be booking with Caitlyn again—highly, highly recommended!”


“Ann was marvelous! She took wonderful care of our dogs. And left the house in perfect order. Excellent communication with daily updates and pics.”


“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.”


“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)!”


“Emmaline was so thoughtful and on top of things! We had a last minute booking that she was able to make work which we really appreciated. House was left in great shape and we know our pup was well cared for. Already looking forward to our next booking!”


“We felt wonderful leaving Savannah in her care! Our pup was very well taken care of and our house was in tip-top shape when we returned. Would hire again in a heartbeat!”


“Tyler took great care of our furry pack! Our 3 dogs felt comfortable with Tyler quickly. He is friendly and was great with our pets! When we came home after our week away, our pets were relaxed and happy.”


“She is amazing!!! She took care of our cat and dog and also was an amazing house guest, left everything clean and tidy and overall it was a wonderful experience. I will be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone!”


“Alex helped us out last minute as we needed to leave town for a family emergency. He was thorough, sweet with our pets, and sent several photos each day. Will definitely ask Alex to sit for us again in the future!”


“Natalie did a wonderful job caring for my pups! 💯 percent recommend her if you need weekend pet sitting or are going away on an extended trip! I was away for many days and she went above and beyond to care for my pups! She did some training with them with treats and took them for long walks and even to the dog park! Next time you need someone to care for your pups definitely message Natalie! She was extremely kind and loving and my pups were very happy and healthy when I got back!”


“Syd was very kinda and kept us updated!”


“Carol was very thorough and communicative! I loved receiving photos throughout the day while she took care of them. We would be happy to book with her again!”


“I hired Alyssa for overnights to care for three of my dogs.This was my first time working with Rover for my needs so therefore I was nervous going into this however during the meet & greet any worries went away because my gut was telling me that Alyssa was the one.She took great care of them and followed my needs.Sending pictures,videos with texting back and fourth with my daughter won our hearts.We do not get away much but maybe things will change now that we found our person Alyssa.I do highly recommend her, rating her and her compassion with animal's ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!”


About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 11 years old. I have two dogs of my own and have grown up around a lot of animals. I have lots of experience cat-sitting and dog-sitting/walking for neighbors and family members throughout the years. I'm working full-time but am working remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. I'm available for all of your pet related needs during lunchtime or after-work hours on weekdays. I will do my best to make sure that your pet is comfortable and happy at your home when I come in to visit/walk them. Refreshing the food, water, and anything else as needed.

“Rose was amazing with our 9-month-old puppy, Oakley. He was very anxious and shy, but she did a great job taking care of him and making him feel comfortable by the end of the stay!”


“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!”

“Rachel has dog sat both of my dogs for several years. She is great with them! On top of just walking them, she has done several overnights and each time it's a relief knowing my dogs are in good hands. She is attentive to their needs and follows through with any special requests I have for my dogs. She also will communicate frequent updates on how the dogs are doing while I'm away. I especially enjoy the pictures she'll send of them during their walks, playtime, etc. Rachel is a huge animal lover and it carries over to her care of my dogs. I highly recommend Rachel and will continue to use her help myself.”
