“Natalie was AWESOME with Grey! She came to meet him a few times, before she stayed with him, to insure he was comfortable with her. She was very good with Grey. She played with him more than we do, I am sure. She sent us pictures and videos multiple times a day. She contacted me if something arose that I had not mentioned or explained about his idiosyncrasies. He loves her, and so do we. We were concerned that he would want to go with her, when she left / went home from the stay!! That is how much she did for him.”
“Connor (CK) took great care of Roxy while we were out of town for 3 days. He took her on walks and to the dog park, and provided lots of attention. He followed our instructions and took good care of our home. He sent pics and a report each day. She was calm when we got back home — a sure sign that she was well cared for.”
“Autumn did a great job with Mack & Aries while I was traveling on a work trip. They were both comfortable with her and I will not hesitate to use Autumn again for future house sitting needs.”
“She was amazing, was able to book her last minute and she was very good with communication. She sent photos and videos while she was over watching our dog and even left a note! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again!”
“Aubra was great with my fur babies and made the whole experience really easy and stress free. She kept me updated with messages and photos, asked thoughtful questions when needed, and was very communicative throughout the stay. My dog can take a little time to warm up, and she was really patient with her, which I appreciated. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. I’d definitely book Aubra again.”
“Heather has watched my doggie and cat 2x. They are great, sends me lots of pictures and updates. Keeps the house super clean. Simply the best.”
“Tyler took great care of our furry pack! Our 3 dogs felt comfortable with Tyler quickly. He is friendly and was great with our pets! When we came home after our week away, our pets were relaxed and happy.”
“Valerie was fantastic!! She took such wonderful care of our dog during the week we were traveling. She took him on hikes, brought him a new toy to explore, and sent frequent updates, including the cutest videos of his daily activities. Valerie was a great communicator and incredibly responsive. She took great care of our house and left it better than she found it (our dog bowls were sparkling!). We highly recommend her!”
About: I set my own schedule by working with special needs adults, so I can usually be flexible if given at least a few hours notice. I set my own schedule by working with special needs adults, so I can usually be flexible if given at least a few hours notice. I have a senior dog that is 15 years old and her name is Reese. I also have a very hyper 4 year old Great Pyrenees/Anolian shepherd who absolutely loves everyone! I have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and also dogs with disabilities. I have been in the medical field for over 20 years, so it feels like Christmas morning every day when I get back to my fur babies. I’m at a point in my life where my daughter is an adult, so I have finally have extra time again. I would treat your pet like I treat my own babies!
“Caitlin was amazing! She is the best sitter I got on Rover! She stayed hours making company to my cat Leia and I have no words to thank her for being so loving with her.”
About: I’ve owned, cared for & been around dogs of all shapes & sizes for as long as I can remember.I currently own 4 fur babies 2 Mastiffs (Diesel & Duchess) and 2 Cats (Kai & Toonces). While it may be uncomfortable to leave your pets home alone rest assured I will treat them the same way I care for my own! While honoring any request or instructions you express to me. (And give live updates) I currently do work a Full-time job with a ton of flexibility. Generally speaking I am available before 9am and after 5pm but depending on location & booking I can make reasonable accommodation during the day as well. Just shoot me a message and we can work something out! I have a fenced in yard but currently am not taking any boarding , doggy daycare or crating bookings. I will care for your animals the same way I would my own, following your instructions to a T. As only you know your pets best! Giving live updates and professional & timely responses.
“This was our first time having Patrick watch our dogs and stay at our home, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From the start, Patrick proved to be reliable, responsible, and genuinely caring. He took great care of our dogs—not just covering the basics, but making sure they were comfortable, happy, and sticking to their normal routine. It gave us a lot of confidence knowing they were in such good hands. He also did an outstanding job taking care of our home. Everything was kept clean, organized, and exactly how we left it. It’s not easy trusting someone in your space for the first time, but Patrick made it completely stress-free. Communication was excellent throughout. We received regular updates and photos, which made it easy to relax while we were away. For a first experience, this couldn’t have gone any better. We highly recommend Patrick and will absolutely be using him again in the future.”
About: I grew up with dogs - pitbull terrier, poodle, german shepard and unknown breeds that just showed up at our doorstep. I am currently a plant parent but I am interested in adopting a cat and/or dog with my partner. Until then, we enjoy our family and friends’ pets. I’ve been an educator for over a decade and when I’m not at work I enjoy being outdoors and staying active. I work for the duration of the school year and with it coming to an end, I can be flexible throughout the summer months and can be accommodating beyond the summer. I do not currently have pets in my home so pets will not have to worry about getting along or not with other strange pets nor would your pets have to be concerned with smelling other pets on me.
“Michael is a great babysitter. He makes sure he is super attentive with them and communicative with the parents. He let Hercules sleep in the bed with him. That was so nice. Thanks michael”
About: I have one special pup (IG miraclepup_kendall) and recently lost my 1st dog, Coco, who changed my life and made me love dogs more than anything. I have parented dogs for twelve years but worked at a dog daycare for two years during the pandemic while I was temporarily out of work. This is where I was trained and learned to be a professional dog care giver. I work from home so my time is wide open and I am available when needed. Last minute additions and cancellations are ok in emergency cases. I have a large 4200 square foot fenced in yard (see pictures) and understand dog behavior/introduction from my time working at a dog daycare. I am good with whatever the fur baby is used to, whether free roam or crate. (I have a large and medium sized crate in house). I love to give pets, belly rubs, and will use treats to assist in ongoing training that the pups are receiving. I will also send you pictures and can give access to the Ring camera so you can check in on them.
“Samantha was very accommodating to our last-minute changes. She even made a trip out to meet Laila since we would be leaving before she first arrived. She sent a picture and messages during our time away from our fur baby. I’m so pleased with how well this worked out because for the last several years, my husband would only plan a trip away together if one of our kids was able to take of Laila. Now we have another option and will definitely be using Samantha again.”
About: I have been helping family and friends with their dogs when they are out of town for the past six years. I’ve been trusted not only to walk their dogs, but to play, administer medications and house-sit. I will care for your dog as if they are my own! I have a flexible work schedule and available for walks on the weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate same day scheduling and understand the importance of keeping your dog on their normal schedule! I love dogs and will make sure they are cared for physically & emotionally. The walks are important, but I will also interact with them through play whether that be fetch or tug. I will follow all rules you have for your dog and home. I love getting pictures of my dog so I will make sure to send you ones too!
“Traisaun was a great dog sitter and Kaya had an absolute great time with him. We could tell she was so relaxed and really enjoyed her time! The house was left in great shape too. We would love to hire him again given the chance!”
“EXCELLENT dog and house sitter! He watched my dogs for 3 nights and 4 days. Bryce took excellent care of my house and dogs. He was very communicative and gave excellent, precise information. He walked both dogs, gave medication and went above and beyond. Awesome sitter”
“Milica was amazing with our babies! They seemed like they had so much fun while we were gone and were so grateful to be able to stay in their home together. She left everything neat and tidy and we will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
Penn Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
We have had Diana house sit our many pets multiple times and every time she leaves the house in better shape than we left it and she spoils our pets! We are so lucky to have her! Also takes the best cutest pictures of our fur babies! Will absolutely always use Diana ❤️
Aubra was great with my fur babies and made the whole experience really easy and stress free. She kept me updated with messages and photos, asked thoughtful questions when needed, and was very communicative throughout the stay. My dog can take a little time to warm up, and she was really patient with her, which I appreciated. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. I’d definitely book Aubra again.
George took great care of our two dogs while we were out of town for the week of Christmas. He stayed at our house, sent frequent updates, and was super friendly, and it was clear the dogs really liked him and were well cared for the whole time. We had zero issues and would absolutely use George again.
Philip and Stephanie did a fantastic job taking care of Trixie and Thorne for me. It was so wonderful knowing my pets were in good hands while I was attending a celebration of life event for the loss of my girlfriend. Philip even took the cardboard boxes I had that needed to go to recycling for me. Great people for sure.
Brandon was excellent with our miniature dachshund, Clif. He had third degree burns recently and required a little extra care, and Brandon went above and beyond to make sure Clif bad his meds, got a walk in, and even put him in a clean suitical. I can't say enough kind things about how great he is. Thanks, Brandon!
Once again Virginia was a terrific sitter taking care of our dogs Willow and Roxy while we traveled over a long weekend. We have had her as our dog/house sitter for 7 years now. Our dogs love her and she does a super job caring for them and taking care of our house. We highly recommend her!
Gordon was outstanding! He took the time to get to know our dog very well, which gave us so much peace of mind. He went above and beyond—bringing in all our packages from the porch, putting out the trash on garbage day, and taking care of the little things without being asked. We’re so grateful for his care and attention to detail.
5 Stars – Amazing Care for My Dogs! Joe V. boarded my two dogs in his home while we were away, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. From the start, Joe was professional, friendly, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dogs in his care. He took the time to learn their personalities and needs, which really stood out to me. Throughout their stay, Joe kept me updated with regular photos and messages, showing how much my dogs were enjoying their time with him and the other dogs in his care. I could tell they were treated like family! When we came home, my dogs were happy, relaxed, and in great spirits—proof that they were well cared for. Joe’s home and fenced yard are well-suited for pets, and I felt confident they were in good hands the whole time. I highly recommend Joe if you're looking for a trustworthy, kind, and reliable pet sitter. I will definitely be reaching out again next time we need care for our dogs!
Emma stayed for a week house sitting our fur baby family- three dogs and two cats (plus 5 fresh water fish tanks). The fur babies demand a lot of love and attention. She’s equally thoughtful and responsible. All the fur babies were relaxed and contented when we came home, which I believe is a sign of how well she cared for all their needs. House was perfectly orderly and all was well.
