“Ris was great with my pup Soy. He sent multiple pictures to show me Soy had settled in well. He also allowed me to stay for a bit, prior to leaving Soy, to introduce to him to Ric's very well behaved Golden Retrievers in the backyard. That backyard is a total dream for any dog!”

“Kristina and Fletcher were so amazing for our three babies. We know our dogs have some unique traits (Luna is scared of hardwood floors) and Murphy can be very mischievous and they handled all of their quirks with the utmost care and patience. They even gave our Hazel a bath! We received updates and pictures everyday! We truly appreciate everything they did for our dogs!”

About: Hi, I'm Shannon and I petsit with my husband, Steve. We have both grown up with dogs and have been devoted pet parents for over a decade. We’ve cared for everything from mischievous puppies to wise old seniors who needed daily medications and extra TLC. Whether your dog needs a slow stroll, a game of fetch, or a quiet lap to nap on, we’re here to make them feel at home. Our own pups—Louie and Bess—are friendly, playful, and used to sharing their space. We treat every dog like they’re part of the family (and yes, we talk to them in silly voices). Pet care is our routine! Either Steve or I will be home full time when your dog is with us, so they’ll get plenty of attention, outdoor breaks, and snuggles throughout the day. Our dogs love their daily walks, and visiting the dog park (with your permission) is always a highlight. Between window watching, sunbathing, and playtime, your pup will be enjoying a mini vacation of their own—while you’re off on yours. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. At our home, pups are never left alone—either Steve or I will always be here to supervise, cuddle, and play. We have a securely fenced yard (6 foot privacy fence) for safe outdoor time and a spacious first floor where the dogs can relax, play, and snooze in the sun. If your dog needs medication, special feeding, or just a little extra love—we’ve got it covered. You can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy, and very loved.
“Eric was so accommodating and not to mention quick! I needed some last minute sitting for a trip and Eric was quick to reply. Kept me updated with the perfect amount of updates. My baby Zeek looked like he truly enjoyed himself, and I’m 100% more than pleased with Eric’s service. Would i recommend? NO DOUBT and we’ll be back expeditiously!”
“Félix had a wonderful time at Claire’s home. He and Packer (canine) are best friends. I have no hesitation in recommending Claire to watch your dog. When my next trip occurs I will definitely book with Claire.”
“Joe was great with our 5 y/o cattle dog, Zig. He exercised him regularly, and sent us updates and pictures daily. Joe was responsive, caring, and professional. He even picked up and dropped off zig at our home, which we appreciated greatly. Highly recommend Joe!”
“Regina was absolutely wonderful. I was a little nervous, I have always traveled with pets and this was my first time to leave a fur baby with someone new. Regina met with me beforehand and let my Moo meet with her pets. She texted and sent me pics and even a video of my pup having fun at her place. I HIGHLY recommend Regina, my pup came back happy and exhausted from her stay (which is tough for a one year old Boston!)”
About: I was a dog owner all my life and recently lost my portuguese water dog after 13 years. Seeking to ease the loss by dog sitting rather than rescueing. Special knack for connecting with dogs immediately, love grooming, hugging. Love to play fetch out doors with with frequent walks outdoors. I am currently retired and live on a lovely acre of land. I love the outdoors and spend a great deal of time outdoors, gardening and caring for my flowers and vegetables. My home is the pet's home with freedom to roam uncrated providing the pet is well trained, and obedient. Love to play fetch outdoors with frequent walks outdoors.
“Natasha and her family are amazing. We’re repeat customers with a 14-year-old Labrador lady who is almost blind, hard of hearing, has allergies, and sometimes struggles with her legs and walking. Natasha and her family take such great care of her—truly above and beyond. One time she wasn’t eating her food, which was really unusual, and they actually cooked her food from scratch to encourage her to eat… and she did! It meant so much to us. Natasha always communicates super proactively and sends tons of pictures, which I really appreciate. With her age, I always worry about leaving her behind, but with Natasha, I know she’s in the absolute best hands. She treats her with such kindness, patience, and attention. If I could give 6 stars, I would. Thank you so much!!”

Rita D.
“Rita is a super caring, animal loving person. She gave me a love for nature at an early age. Since her most recent dog passed away all she can talk about is wanting to be around a dog but feels she doesn’t want to get her own since she doesn’t want to get too attached. You would be doing her a great service by letting her spend time with your dog and I’m sure your dog will be happy too being in such a good place and company with a dog lover.”

Penn Hills dog parents share their Rover experiences
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Natasha G.! She took such amazing care of our girl, Ellie. Natasha went above and beyond—taking her for walks, playing with her outside, and showering her with love and attention the whole time. What really gave us peace of mind was the way she kept us updated with plenty of communication and adorable pictures so we always knew how Ellie was doing. It’s clear Natasha truly loves and cares for the pets she looks after. We felt completely comfortable and confident having her with Ellie, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly, highly recommend!
Emma did a great job keeping my dog Molly safe and cared for while I was away. Emma was very flexible with scheduling as well and was quick to adjust drop off and pick up times as needed!
She took very good care of him. He takes medicine three times per day and his special diet, twice per day( so patient). He received many , many, many….. cuddles, hugs and ( most likely) kisses.(so loving and kind) The play and run time in the yard was enough for him to want an extra nap when he got home( fun and attentive). Reuben seemed content and happy with his visits. He also loves playing with the big dogs and other family members. Coralee is awesome. We likes her ALOT!
Regina did an amazing job. Wheezie is high energy with separation anxiety. She sent me lots of pictures and when I picked her up I could tell she was happy and well taken care of. I have health problems and she was able to take her last minute and showed her the care I am very happy with. I need not look anywhere else from now on any time I need to board her we will go straight to Regina!
Blown away by Sophie! She is incredibly patient and understanding, and she won over my nervous/fearful Nash so quickly. I really appreciate her excellent communication and the kindness she showed to both of us. Sophie made the whole process stress-free and comfortable. Nash can’t wait to come back :) Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and caring sitter!
