“Priyanka was a pleasure to have watching our dog Joey. I was late in booking her but she made the time to meet with us to make sure it was a good fit, which it was! I plan on requesting her again as I know Joey enjoyed his stay with her!”

“I have been using Richard for years because he is wonderful with my dog. He is always the first person I request service from because you cannot find a better person to take care of your furry friend.”

“Raeann is a compassionate and caring person who showed great affection towards our 12 y/o girl. Would recommend her services and would like to use her services in the future.”


“Great peace of mind leaving my two dogs with Samantha when a family emergency mandated I leave town suddenly. She was quick to respond and and very flexible with pick-up days/times, which I really appreciated. When I picked my pups up, they were happy and calm from all the playtime they got in Samantha's large, shady backyard. Will definitely book again with Samantha in the future!”

“This was my first time using Rover. It was convenient. Monica forwarded pictures of my dog during his stay, which provided me with comfort. My dog appeared to settle in well. I will use Monica in the future.”

About: Hello! I have worked at a boarding kennel for 5 years and have volunteered at the Humane society for 2 years as well. I am comfortable with everything your pet brings to the table! I am proficient in understanding a dogs behavior, your dog will be in trusted hands. I am currently working remote on Wednesdays and Fridays and would love some more dog time! I am available throughout the days on these days. I am also available on weekends! I will be sure your dog has the most fun on our walks! I know my way around many types of harnesses/leashes/muzzles. I can’t wait to get my steps in with your dog!

“Victoria was amazing during our pup’s stay with her! She sent videos throughout the day with updates and was extremely communicative and caring. I will absolutely be booking with her again for our next vacation!”


“Wonderful experience with Jeremy and his wife! We were so grateful to find them on short notice, and they took wonderful care of our pup. I think she was almost sad to leave she had so much fun! We will be calling them again 💗”

“Our 2 year old black lab Morgan has lots of energy, Rebecca and Tank wore her out! The dogs played all weekend and Morgan had a great time! Easy to drop off and pick up at Rebecca's place. Morgan made new friends...”


About: Hello! My name is Skylar and I am a recent college grad who has been in Pittsburgh about 2 years. I have over 70 5-star ratings on Wag, which is a similar app to Rover. Back home in Ohio I have a sweet Mini Schnauzer who is 11 years old. He is blind and diabetic, so I have lots of experience taking care of older pups with medical needs. I also have a 7 year old Australian Shepard who has LOTS of energy and is always bouncing off the walls. She loves to play and herd her brother. Two new additions to the fam are 2 year old bernadoodles-lots of dog in the house! I miss my sweet pups, which is why I love to use Wag and Rover :) I absolutely adore any dog I come across and would love to get to know you and your doggo! I have a bit of an odd schedule where over the winter I work M-F completely remote and in the spring-fall I work Th-M half remote and half in person at North Park with Tuesday and Wednesday as my “weekends.” There is some variability to this schedule, but for the most part it is as described. I live with my boyfriend in a three level townhouse that has a large yard and is on a safe, quiet street. When fury friends visit us they are allowed on the furniture and we make sure to take them out on walks at least 4 times a day. Typically this looks like right when we wake up, during lunch, after dinner, and right before bed. When I stay at a pup’s house, I make sure to leave it cleaner than I found it!

About: Hi, I'm Angela! I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by dogs, and I truly believe a home isn’t complete without the sound of four paws on the floor. I recently said goodbye to my beloved Pit Bull, Bia. She was my world, and I want to treat your pup with the same devotion, patience, and affection that I gave to her. My fiancée, Lauren, and I have her two dogs 2 weeks out of the month and they are great with other dogs and love to make friends! I work from home during the day and am a dance teacher in the evening. Between the two of us we have flexibility most of the day for house visits, walks, boarding, and daycare! I work from home during the day and my fiancée is home in the evening so we have a flexible schedule to give your furkid lots of love and attention! I have a large backyard on a quiet residential street and 2 sweet dogs part time who love to make friends! I have the ability to crate dogs of all size in my home and will not accept dogs from multiple families at one time so your baby will be spoiled!
“This is our second time booking with Dana. My pups came back and passed out on the couch for the rest of the night! She was responsive and communicative. She immediately let me know when she had a concern and was willing to go to the emergency vet if needed. I will definitely rebook!”

“Mikaela was great with Cashew and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of during our four-day trip. She was also incredibly flexible and understanding when we had some unexpected travel delays, which was so nice of her! Will absolutely book again. <3”

About: My partner, Michelle, and I have had dogs since we were in high school and there is no better joy than going for a walk or spending time with our dogs. I currently only work about two hours every day performing Military Funeral Honors. Times vary but typically the job begins around 11am and lasts 30 minutes after which I drive home. Our family includes three small pugs and two grade school children. Crating pets or having potty trained pets sleep in our room is an option.
“Veronica was wonderful! My puppy experienced separation anxiety and she made him feel comfortable and loved. I will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone. She takes in your pup as her own.”

“Michael and his family did a great job watching Samson for his extended (12 day) stay. Samson was treated like one of their own and well taken care of. We had no concerns and Samson came home exhausted. We appreciate their hospitality and genuine concern for our dog. I would recommend and book with them again in the future.”

“Tia was an absolute perfect petsitter for my dog Finley! She was flexible with drop off/pick up, sent updates including photos and videos, and made sure that my boy was getting lots of attention and playtime in the backyard. Tia’s dog Tang was a fantastic companion and playmate so Finley was spoiled having a canine friend around. Couldn’t have asked for more!”

Houston pet parents share their Rover experiences
Zach and his family were amazing, stayed in contact the entire trip, sent pictures and were extremely kind! I think Fenrir was actually a bit sad to go at the end. I would 100% recommend his services to anyone and everyone, definitely at the top of my list for sitters!

Jaclyn and Ashleigh were positively perfect for what we needed. Our first time using the two of them was also first time we had decided to leave our two pups since we adopted our youngest in September and it could not have gone better. They were very responsive and communicative from the setup of the first introduction clear through to pick-up. They not only seemed to tolerate but actually kind of enjoy some of the decidedly quirkiness or silliness of our pair. Couldn't recommend them highly enough. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our family!
