“Ann was very nice, my dog and cat were very happy when I got home. Ann was very accommodating about staying at the house with Hank and Snowball. I’m very thankful to her for taking great care of them while I was out of town.”


“Connor (CK) took great care of Roxy while we were out of town for 3 days. He took her on walks and to the dog park, and provided lots of attention. He followed our instructions and took good care of our home. He sent pics and a report each day. She was calm when we got back home — a sure sign that she was well cared for.”



“Caitlyn was a wonderful dog sitter! She stayed with my dog, Ginger, for a long weekend and needed to stay overnight at my house. She made sure to send pictures of my pup every day and keep me in the loop about her behavior and appetite. Even when Ginger got sick on the last day, Caitlyn knew exactly what to do and even offered to stay over later to keep an eye on her. Caitlyn is very responsible and a great communicator and I cannot recommend enough!”


“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)!”


“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.”


“Tyler was very nice. Our almost 4 year old Husky Mix liked Tyler immediately. His personality helped me relax and feel comfortable with the process of hiring a house sitter. He was very good with communication, which I really appreciated. This was a meet & greet after which Tyler house sat for us for a few hours. It went really well.”


“Alex has been so patient with our older dog and understanding of her quirks. We had total peace of mind leaving her in his care while we were away. Will definitely book again!”


“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!”


“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!”


“Natalie was great!! Our pup was having tummy problems while she was watching them & staying at our house — Natalie was a champ and did everything she could to make sure the sick pup was ok! Would definitely book her again for the next out of town visit!”


“Traisaun stayed over a weekend with our 2 elderly dogs and cat. He sent pictures each day to keep us updated on their wellbeing and all were very happy when we returned. He is also very prompt with timing and kept our home tidy. We’ll be calling Traisaun the next time we need a sitter!”


“Sydney took great care of Pepper. I am very pleased with her timeliness, kindness, and care”


“David was awesome! Very communicative and took awesome care of our big dog for a week. He left the house cleaner than it was when we left. We will definitely love to have him take care of our dog again. Peace of mind knowing your dog is well cared for on vacation is amazing!!”


“I'd highly recommend Carol! My cat and dog connected with her right away during our meet and greet, and she did a wonderful job caring for them while I was out of town! Carol communicated regularly, and she sent lots of pics. I could tell the pets were in good hands. Not to mention, the house looked great when I returned. I would book again without hesitation. Thanks, Carol!”


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.

“Flora was an excellent sitter! She kept me notified, sent pictures, and I think the house was cleaner than when I left! My girls were all super happy when I came home, I would definitely recommend her for your sitting needs, and can’t wait to use her for future visits.”


“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!”


“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!”


“Madison is wonderful! She took great care of our dog and cat while we were away for my son's wedding. We've never left them before ( without a family member). We will certainly use her again when the opportunity presents itself.”


“Sam did an amazing job watching our two dogs while we were out of town. He was communicative and went above and beyond when taking care of the house as well. With a puppy and a German Shepherd, they are quite a handful so I have no qualms in recommending Sam for any pup sitting. :-)”

Rachel M.
“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.”

Homewood West pet parents share their Rover experiences
I was super nervous about leaving my six month old puppy with a dog sitter, but i’m so glad I found Gianna. She was clear, flexible, and just absolutely amazing overall. I had a flight cancellation and she took the time changes with grace. Also, I loved that she sent me multiple photos/videos of my pup every day. If I ever need to use a dog sitter again I will be sure to request Gianna first!

Caitlyn was amazing! We booked her with short notice as we were in town for a wedding and got a bark complaint the night before while out at dinner. Both my girls: Harlow and Cuddles warmed up to her instantly! She was reliable, punctual (arrived early), and communicative throughout the evening. Wish she was in Chicago to book again!

David was wonderful! He was efficient and reliable, and I feel very comfortable leaving my little ones with him! I will definitely plan to ask him to home sit again for future trips!

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!

Kenna did an excellent job house sitting and watching Coco. Coco was so well cared for and we received regular updates while we were out of town. We would definitely recommend working with Kenna!

Mariah was great! We came home to a very happy dog! We felt so comfortable leaving Hubble with Mariah and I am sure the dog is sad she is no longer around to hang out. Mariah kept us updated and sent pictures. We will absolutely reach out to her again next time we need dog care!

Alexander was very understanding and patient with our pup. He sent a lot of updates and photos and made sure she was well taken care of!

Ellie was wonderful with our dog and two cats! Polite, communicative and tidy - she gave everyone lots of love and attention and reassured us the entire time we were away. She managed to stay busy with our dog and explore even in a heat wave! We will absolutely book Ellie again 🥰

Peyton is wonderful with our pets! One of our cats requires insulin and she takes care of that no problem. We feel so comfortable having her watch our boys and our home. Highly recommend her!!

Thank you so much for Diana! She treats my home like it is her own, and she treats my fur babies like members of her family! They love her energy and are so relaxed in her presence while we are away. She gives us peace of mind every time we leave our animals in her care ❤️

Shannon was amazing! She really went above and beyond! We realized we had forgotten to give her a key once we had already left and Shannon was super flexible and worked with us and a locksmith to get into our house. She also watered my garden during the heatwave. Loved getting all the updates, my cat definitely enjoyed her care and attention!

Jones seemed to love Carol! She gave him his meds with no problems and kept me updated on everything Jones related, with pictures too!

Flora was an excellent sitter! She kept me notified, sent pictures, and I think the house was cleaner than when I left! My girls were all super happy when I came home, I would definitely recommend her for your sitting needs, and can’t wait to use her for future visits.

Highly recommend Malloy! She was so good with our dogs and it felt great to be able to relax knowing they were well cared for and happy!

Natalie made me feel very comfortable about leaving my two cats for the first time. My cats are currently separated and she reassured me that she would give them each attention and care! She also left my home spotless, which was super sweet and a wonderful surprise when I returned from my trip.

Julie was WONDERFUL. She helped me out at the last minute and cared for Dolly in exactly the ways I asked. I came home to a happy and healthy dog.

Erika was phenomenal. She sent many updates, and took amazing care of my babies. She went above and beyond and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!! Thank you, Erika!

My dog Serena fell in love with Regan. I came home to two well taken care of pets. Regan always sent me updates, and when I returned the house was clean and orderly. I will definitely use Regan again in the future.

Allison was wonderful with our pups! Definitely will book with her again. Super friendly and responsive and treated our home so kindly.

Professional and kind, dogs took to her immediately. Met via video for initial connect, she took notes and asked questions. Came over prior to our trip to meet everyone and see the property. Booked last minute and enjoyed our trip worry thanks to her. Great first time experience with Rover - HIGHLY recommend Emma.
