“Savannah was super communicative and . I could tell she was really passionate about the work and knew my pets (a dog and a cat) would be in good hands while I was away. Would absolutely recommend her as a pet-sitter to others.”


“Jess was so responsive and helpful and kind. Our puppy needed special care after surgery, and medication too, as well as removal and replacement of his e dollar so he could eat and drink. She did an amazing job, and kept me informed. We really needed help and she came through. Would 💯 recommend. Thank you Jessica!”

About: Hi! I would love any experience and I love all animals. I also have a very flexible schedule! I would love to help anyone I can! I can help out most days of the week. Mostly mornings or afternoons, but working during the day on the weekends works perfectly for me! I love all animals and treat any I meet like my own! I would not mind having to respectfully visit client’s homes if that is needed!
About: I'm from PR, and I've been a dog rescuer since 2011. I have tons of experience caring for animals and giving them the love and treatment that they deserve. I love what I do. I retire and moved to Pittsburgh on February, 2023. It makes me a perfect match for your doggy. I will treat them as if they were mine. NO cages. I have a fenced runner connected to the pets' room that allows them to safely go in and out whenever they want. You can bring their bed or any special toys. I foster rescued dogs from PR that came to Pittsburgh looking for a second chance of life, and the money earn through Rover is used to cover their health and traveling expenses. I work from home, and my office is in the room where they will spend their stay, so they will be with me most of the day, and they will be able to play with my own dogs under supervision. If they are potty trained and well behaved, they will have permission to access all the house. To be able to satisfy you pup's needs, I will ask you to write down your special instructions and promise I will follow them as written. You will receive a lot of daily pictures of your furry friends.
“Rachel took great care of all 4 of my cats! She spent time with them and gave Jake his meds, no problem. She's got a great attitude and attention to detail. I'd definitely use her again.”

“Cristina was great! I asked her to come over and do a drop-in visit, and even though it was kind of last minute she was able to accommodate my request. She let me know when she arrived, how my dog was doing, and she let me know when she left as well. She sent a picture too, which I thought was very nice. I am a dogsitter myself, so it always makes me happy to see that other sitters in the area are giving great care to the dogs they watch too.”

About: What sets me apart is my personalized approach—treating every pet like my own, with dedicated attention, consistent communication, and a deep understanding of each animal’s unique needs and personality. I work from home all week and have a pretty short working schedule. I have lots of time at home to make sure each pet has the best care they need while the owner is out. Been doing it for so long and it's the best job ever! I have a fenced yard with lots of space, i live in a home in a mixed suburban neighborhood and there's lots of walking space around the block, dog park 5 min away and great space at home (no kids, just my wife)
About: Have 3 dogs now! Will clean yard and walk dogs for you that is not a problem at all for me to do for you It’s just part of my life and daily routine!! Just like breathing :) you can trust me to take care of your pet for you I am reliable, loving and attentive and would treat your fur baby like it is my own ❤️ relax and enjoy your time away from home
About: I just like being around puppies. Especially the smaller ones. I don't have any special skills and definitely not a professional. But I'm a responsible person and so you can trust me with your puppy. No cats though. I work one one week and one week off. On my off weeks I don't really do anything (yet). Filling the void. Free throughout the day during off weeks and not a single second during work week. I can walk your puppy, feed your puppy, ensure that it has company, play around with it, watch for signs of the puppy needing additional care.
“Michaels the best! He’s helped us multiple times with overnight stays & quick drop ins. Our very selective dog & our shy cat both love him. He went above & beyond when we were away during a big snow storm & couldn’t get home to our pets. He cleared a pathway for our dog to go outside, cleared snow away from vents attached to our home & still managed to keep our pets active & exercised in the frigid temps. Everyone needs a Michael for their pets!”

About: While I may be new to dog sitting for others, I’ve always been an animal lover and have spent years caring for pets of friends and family. What sets me apart is how seriously I take this. I know trusting someone new takes a lot, so I make sure every dog gets my full attention, affection, and care. I’m reliable, gentle, and always focused on making your pup feel safe, happy, and loved like they’re my own. I’m also available for updates, walks, cuddles, or whatever your dog needs! My dog also had puppies herself so I have unintentional experience with puppy training and care lol. Pet care fits into my routine mostly on weekends, when I’m fully available to give your pup all my time and attention! I also have certain weekdays off from my regular job, so I’m flexible if you need coverage during those times too. I treat every pet like family and prioritize their safety at all times. I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and pet friendly. No unsafe foods, small objects, or open doors. I follow any instructions you provide closely and make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m always respectful of your space and your dog’s routine!

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 50 years. I've cared for my own pets as well as regularly helped family and friends by watching their dogs, walking them, and making sure they were well cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like part of the family. I am retiring and love working with dogs, so my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care while keeping active and meeting new furry friends I provide a safe and loving environment with a fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time. I make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also enjoy keeping pets engaged with toys and fun activities, including an outdoor pool in the summer, so they stay happy, active and comfortable.

About: Hi! I’m Jess 😊 I’ve always had a natural, intuitive connection with animals and tend to pick up on their moods and needs quickly—even when they’re shy, anxious, or not as expressive. Because of that, animals usually warm up to me fast and feel safe in my presence. I currently have three cats of my own, including one with special needs, so I understand how important it is to have someone patient, attentive, and truly tuned in caring for your pets. I don’t just follow instructions—I pay attention to how your pet is feeling, and adjust my care to make sure they’re comfortable, relaxed, and supported. For certain bookings, my fiancé Rob may assist me as a second set of hands. He’s great with animals and helps provide extra support, especially for multi-pet households or longer stays. I am always the primary caregiver, but having that extra support allows me to give even more attentive, consistent care. ⭐ What Makes Me Different ✨ Intuitive, Empathic Care I naturally tune into animals’ behavior, comfort levels, and energy. This helps me: -Recognize stress or anxiety early -Adjust my approach based on their personality -Build trust quickly, especially with shy or sensitive pets ✔️ Personalized Care Plan Before each booking, you’ll complete a quick form so I can fully understand your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs. ✔️ Structured, Professional Experience I provide a welcome guide, clear expectations, and consistent communication so everything feels smooth and stress-free. I also provide a simple care form before bookings so I can fully understand your pet’s routine and preferences. ✔️ Consistent Updates You’ll receive regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Each visit includes updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. ✔️ Extra Support When Needed For certain bookings, my fiancé Rob may assist as a second set of hands. He’s great with animals and helps provide extra support, especially for multi-pet households or longer stays. I am always the primary caregiver and will always communicate in advance if he will be present. 🐾 Experience I’ve cared for: -Cats (including multi-cat households) -Dogs of all sizes and personalities -Pets with medical needs, sensitivities, and unique routines Some of my experience includes: -A blind pug with dietary restrictions -Cats with litter box sensitivities and behavioral quirks -Anxious or slow-to-warm-up pets I take the time to understand who they are, not just what they need. 🏡 House Sitting When staying in your home, I focus on keeping your pet’s environment calm, familiar, and low-stress. This is especially important for pets who: -Experience separation anxiety -Are sensitive to change -Need consistency and emotional comfort Having Rob as occasional support also allows for more flexibility and coverage when needed. 🚪 Drop-In Visits Each visit isn’t just about completing tasks—it’s about checking in on your pet’s overall well-being. I pay attention to: -Behavior changes -Energy levels -Comfort and mood So nothing gets overlooked. 🐾 My Goal To create an environment where your pet feels safe, understood, and cared for—and where you feel completely at ease knowing they’re in good hands. I work full-time remotely, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day. If Wi-Fi is available, I’m often able to stay with your pet while I work, so they’re not left alone for long periods. I’m able to take breaks for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I do my best to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine. My schedule is consistent, and I’m always happy to communicate ahead of time to make sure it’s a great fit for your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and needs, and I follow all instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific preferences. I’m very detail-oriented and make sure everything is done the way you want, so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to keeping your pet’s environment calm, consistent, and secure. I’m also mindful of safety during walks and daily care. I provide regular updates and photos so you always feel confident and at ease while you’re away.
About: I’ve been taking care of my dog for 6 year and have grown up with German Shepherds. My love for animals has grown so much over the years! Your dog or cat will get the best care while your not there! I am home with my son so I will be open. And I care take great care of my fur kid as well!! I will love to care for yours!! I will do as exactly as your pet needs!! They deserve the best!! They will look forward to me coming and spending time with them!!
“Olivia is fantastic! I just adopted my pup and she loves when Miss Olivia stops by to visit. Olivia is very receptive and responds to messages quite quickly. It’s also nice that she updates me during the visits and send pictures!”

About: I have been around animals all my life and have petsit(and babysit!) for over 5 years! I love long walks and taking care of pets, catering to their specific needs and what makes them happy. I want to work with you and your pet! I am a full time student and Residential Assistant in Pittsburgh, and stay at home in the summers. I have plenty of free time to take care of your pet. In addition to this, I love daily long walks and would love to take your pet with me! I have a lot of training in different tempers of dogs and cats and make sure to treat each animals according to its needs. I will make sure to let dogs out often to potty and keep all animals entertained according to your standards. I can administer medicine and give food on a timed schedule. I understand how important it is that your cat or dog gets proper care. You can always tell me if you want me to give your dog or cat a training session or extra play time. It’s up to you!
About: I grew up with a reactive black lab, so I know how to handle leash pulling and how to deescalate and prevent fights. In her old age, I learned to accommodate her failing joints. I’ve been trained at the Licking County Humane Society in Ohio as a volunteer dog walker, which has well equipped me to understand and respond respectfully to dog language. I further pursue this knowledge by reading about how dogs communicate with us, and by observing and analyzing their behavior both in real life and online. This will be my primary commitment, so I can easily cater to your schedule to fit your pets needs. Mornings, evenings, weekends, whatever you need, except Thursdays :) I will take great care to follow your instructions and respect the rules of your home and needs of your animal(s). I cannot accept boarding in my own home at the moment.
About: I have experience in puppy obedience training and leash training, oral medication administration, experience handling dogs of all ages and sizes, especially with caring for stubborn dogs. Also I am very familiar with taking care of pups with anxiety or different fears. I am a full time student at Boston University, but have long breaks throughout my day where I could care for nearby pets in need of attention or walks, meaning lunchtime check ins or walks work particularly well with my schedule. I am happy to follow any preferences you have for pet care, including crating your dog (I have extensive experience crate training an unruly giant schnauzer puppy), leash preferences, and feeding schedules. I typically bring water bowls and extra water for my dogs on walks to keep them feeling their best and treats to keep them engaged (treat type depending on what your dog typically eats).
Murrysville dog parents share their Rover experiences
Nicole did a great job watching our dog and house while we were away for a week. I know my dog was in great care with her. This is our second time using her to watch our dog. I would highly recommend her to others. She is very professional and trustworthy. I was very leery letting someone in my house when I was away. But, after meeting Nicole, I knew she would a great taking care of our dog and house while away. I no longer was hesitate letting someone in the house while we are not present. My dog enjoyed his time with her. She took great care of the dog. I believe she goes beyond her duties when here. (thx! we greatly appreciate the care you gave him while away!)
