“It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience! Ericka sent regular pics and updates. When we got home our dog was happy and content. When we’ve had to use something more like daycare in the past, he just gets really stressed and barely eats. We will be using rover again in the future for sure.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Laura is wonderful. Very responsive -- loves a good walk with Stella -- and very flexible. Love working with Laura (and Stella loves when she visits, too!)”
“Natalie is responsible, capable and a lovely human; just the kind of person you would trust to live in your home and watch your pups while you're away.”
“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!”
“Maddi was awesome to have watch our senior pups! She was so thorough and kind and I felt very quickly at ease with our dogs in her care. Would highly recommend anyone considering care for their fur babes to book with her and I personally hope to have her again with our pups the next time we need a sitter!”
“My Minnie was well cared for while I was gone :) I would rebook. Auja was able to handle Minnie’s significant thunderstorm anxiety and took good care of my place as well!”

About: For the past two years, I've had the pleasure of pet sitting for family members, treating their pets like they’re my own. Growing up with dogs of all shapes and sizes, I've been around them my whole life and have cared for them through all stages — from playful puppies to loving senior dogs. I love going the extra mile by helping with things like fetching the mail or taking out the trash, so your home is just as you left it when you return. Your pets will feel safe, loved, and cared for in my hands! I’m currently working part-time and studying to return to the healthcare field, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate time to caring for your pets. I’m available every day of the week and can adjust my schedule to fit your pet care needs! I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own because I know how important it is to have someone who is caring, compassionate, trustworthy, and reliable looking after your fur babies. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or house sitting, I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, watering, and giving medications. I make sure to take pets on daily walks (weather permitting and based on their age and abilities), and I engage in playtime every day to keep them happy. I always respect the owner’s home, leaving it exactly as it was, and I’m happy to assist with tasks like fetching the mail or taking out the trash.
“Sent pictures, followed instructions, my animals and my house have little particulars that she listened to well, too! My house was clean, animals were well taken care of and happy when I got back ❤️ Would recommend Cayla and will use again! Thanks again.”
“Darra was incredible! Our dogs can be a little tough to handle but she had no problem with them at all. Was super responsive and sent us lots of cute pictures when we were gone. She even helped us when the flight was delayed she stayed longer than scheduled and helped make sure our dogs were taken care until we could get home. I’d recommend Darra to everyone!”
“Kristen was amazing! Did such an awesome job watching our guy in home for us. Would highly recommend!!”
“Elizabeth was communicative, friendly, and made me feel comfortable while out of town. My boys had a blast and I feel they were well cared for in my absence.”

“Olivia G. provided an awesome house-sitting experience for my fur babies! They loved her a lot and she took really great care of them and went above and beyond. She was also very communicative and provided me with lots of updates. We will definitely be booking again with Olivia!”
“Sydney was great with our husky and pug! Our pug is diabetic, blind and elderly and Sydney was fine with giving her insulin. They were both well cared for. We will definitely seek out her services when we need a sitter in the future!”
“Tiffany is absolutely wonderful! My pup loves her. She was so attentive to his needs and accommodations ( he has a splint on right now ). She sent frequent updates and left my house as clean as it was when I left! Highly recommend - I hope to have her dog sit Lewie again in the future!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 9 years old and can’t imagine life without them. From volunteering at shelters to pet sitting, walking, and fostering, animals have always been a huge part of my world. Now at 28, I bring over 19 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments including seniors and pets who need special care. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and house sitting. I’m comfortable administering medications including injections, and I’ve supported pets recovering from illness or surgery. I’ve also helped with basic training and behavior support. As a licensed social worker, I bring an extra level of responsibility, trustworthiness, and calm presence to the pets and families I work with. My schedule is flexible thanks to my part-time work and I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s unique needs and routine. Whether you’re heading out of town or just need a helping hand, I’d love to be your go-to pet care person. I treat every animal like family because they are. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I take time to get to know each animal’s personality and needs so I can provide personalized care that feels familiar and stress-free. In your home, I make sure your pet stays on their usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications. I keep their environment clean, cozy, and calm, and I always respect your space and preferences. I provide lots of love, attention, and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

Allison B.
“Allison has been caring for my cat Brian for about a year now. Brian is FIV+ and requires some extra care/medication that Allison was easily able to implement into her visits. She is responsive and observational, always letting me know if Brian’s been sick or has been showing changes in behavior. She cares for my cat the way I would which has been hard to find with other sitters. I would 100% recommend Allison for your sitting needs!”
