“Tia and her family are so sweet with my pup, and were so accommodating when it was unclear if my flight would return on time / whether my heat would be working upon my return. Tia is our go-to Rover sitter because of how communicative and kind she is!”


“Victoria is incredible! Our little dude gets so excited when we say her name and sees his overnight bag ready by the door. She truly loves all of her visitors with her whole heart, communicates every day (often twice or more), and has become our go-to for long and short trips! Thank you, Victoria!”

“Andrew was so wonderful. Very communicative and pleasant to work with. I knew immediately my dog would be safe and comfortable in his care and he did not disappoint. He has a great space for pets and you can tell he really cares. I will definitely book another stay with him.”

“Excellent pet watcher!! I highly recommend. They were very responsive, and flexible. My cat T-square had a blast at there place. He was loved, groomed, and cared for, as if he was with me! ❤️”


“Courtney is amazing. So sweet and understanding. She took such great care of my 2 dogs and treated them just like her own. One dog I thought was my problem child pup but she had no problem with him which is such a plus when going away. I will book with Courtney from now on. So happy to have found her. Thank you Courtney.”

“Sebastian was great! My dog had a great time and was taken care of very well. I was particularly nervous as I’d never used Rover before but Sebastian made the process much easier. Would definitely have my dog stay with him again!”


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!

“My two cavapoos had the best time and Samantha was very responsive with updates to ease my anxiety about leaving them for so long! I would highly recommended trusting her with your fur babies!”

“Jordyn was awesome with my girl! Great communication and sent me pics to keep me updates which I loved. :) Would definitely leave Merle with Jordyn again in the future.”

“Eronda was an awesome dog sitter for Alley! Not only was she conveniently located, she was very professional and loving towards our pup. Eronda kept us well informed with texts and videos of our pup while away. She was very responsive and answered any question or concerns we had. I would recommend Eronda if you’re looking for a professional, loving, caring person to watch your pet.”

“Maria took excellent care of my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel over an eight day stretch and I had complete peace during my trip knowing that my sweet Bailey was in excellent care. Bailey basically was continuously entertained and loved very much by Maria, her darling son who adores Bailey and she got along so well with Maria’s sweet pups. I received pictures and/or videos each day which I really appreciated. It was great to see that she was having a good time. Maria is our go to person the next time we need doggy daycare or overnight care. Also, she gave us the cutest doggy treat bag which was very thoughtful and generous. For anyone looking for peace of mind that your dog would not be in a kennel, but in a loving home environment, you don’t need to look any further than Maria.”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. From the moment we connected, it was clear how much Nelia genuinely cares about dogs. While I was away, she sent regular updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious my dog was not only well taken care of, but also happy, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I came home to a relaxed, happy dog. I highly recommend Nelia to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring dog sitter. I will definitely book with her again!”


“I felt very comfortable leaving my two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels with Lisa. It's clear that she really cares for the dogs. She sent me daily updates and photos or videos. My dogs seem to have had a great time at her house and we will use her again.”

“Tamara was an excellent sitter for my little dog! I will definitely book her in the future! I'm not sure my dog even wanted to come home. She was comfortable there from the get go! Tamara also went above and beyond when my dog grabbed a chicken bone thrown in the grass.”


“Amy, thanks again for watching our Doji girl at the last minute. Doji loves being with all the other dogs. I think it is almost like Doji is having her own vacation, away from her human owners. Thanks again, Doris & Marcel.”

“Jack loved his visit! They were so good with him and provided updates and photos throughout the day. Their dogs Chowder and Regina are awesome, and my dog enjoyed spending time with them. Will definitely be using them for my next upcoming trips! 10/10”

“Raeann was amazing with my dog. She is a true animal lover, who made my dog feel very loved. She was super accommodating with dates and with pick up and drop off arrangements. She ensured that my dog was comfortable. She asked me many questions just to make my doggo feel at ease and happy at her place, which I appreciated. She sent me picture updates and communicated with me throughout my dog's stay. I could not have asked for a better person.”

Oakwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Amber was amazing with my dogs. She sent updates and pictures everyday. This was the first time that my dogs were ever out of my care and they were not the best guys to deal with but Amber did understand they were upset. I would definitely recommend Amber as she made this experience a very positive one.

Cindy is absolutely amazing! She sends daily updates and multiple pictures, which put our minds at ease. We hate to leave our fur babies, but when we do, we can't think of a better place for our dogs. They get multiple walks per day and lots of cuddle time. The only problem is that I don't think they want to leave Cindy's because they have so much fun!

Courtney is amazing. So sweet and understanding. She took such great care of my 2 dogs and treated them just like her own. One dog I thought was my problem child pup but she had no problem with him which is such a plus when going away. I will book with Courtney from now on. So happy to have found her. Thank you Courtney.
