“Kristina was amazing with Lincoln! He was very nervous and shy at first but she did amazing with him. She sent updates and pictures over the weekend so we could stay updated with how he was doing.”
“Brittany was WONDERFUL! Watson is a very nervous dog and it was my first time leaving him. He loved her! She sent me stellar pics daily! She was super accommodating and HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend! Thanks so so much Brittany!”
“I have a really hard time leaving my dog with anyone but Denyal made me feel comfortable. She sent a lot of pictures and responded quickly when I checked in with her. My dog got lots of exercise and attention, and since other dogs were staying with her as well, they all played together. I would highly recommend Denyal.”
About: I’m from LA, where I worked for a dog hiking service where we started each morning with a group hike, came back home for daycare, and boarded dogs overnight. I love all dogs, big + small, and know how important it is for them not just to be well taken care of, but happy! Now it’s just me and my dog (Micho) in Pittsburgh exploring the trails around the city, and we would love to bring your pup along! As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule + take multiple walks a day, short hikes a couple times a week, and longer day trips on the weekends. Because I only take one dog at a time, my time will be completely devoted to your dog for one-on-one play, walks, snuggling, and everything in between.
“Raeann is a compassionate and caring person who showed great affection towards our 12 y/o girl. Would recommend her services and would like to use her services in the future.”
“This was our 1st time using Rover and we recommend it 100%! Tristan was awesome with Sadie! We got tons of pictures and she was very responsive. Would recommend her-Sadie came home happy and healthy!”
“Liz was able to accommodate my pup on a very very last minute trip to Pitt from Cleveland. She was constant with the updates and pictures of my pup and made me feel incredibly comfortable with him. Additionally when I had to extend my stay one night she was more than accommodating to make that work. Incredibly grateful for Liz and next time I’m in Cleveland I know who I’ll be looking up!”
About: Hi there! I’m an experienced pet sitter and outdoor enthusiast with a degree in wildlife biology. I’d love to meet your pet or pets and provide a caring, loving home while you’re away. Whether this means walking the dogs, grooming, playing or sitting with the cats, administering medicine, feeding the fish, or watering your beloved plants, I can do it. While you are away, I will treat your pets as my own. Rest assured, they will be lavished with the love and attention that they need! I have over 14 years of professional animal handling experience, though I've taken care of animals since I was a kid - primarily cats and our family dog, but also more exotic critters like birds, raccoons, and squirrels! My professional experience includes wildlife rehabilitation, vet assistance, and kennel work. I worked at the Pittsburgh Zoo for 10 years, providing animal care to a large range of species from reptiles to birds to bugs. I love all animals and can't wait to meet yours and let them feel cared for in any special way they need while you are away. Thank you for considering me! I currently have a wide-open schedule, allowing lots of time for play and special attention to any specific care requirements. I am available for overnight care, walks during the week, but sorry no boarding at this time. I am extremely responsible and attentive to detail - I understand that each individual animal requires different care and attention, and I am prepared to provide whatever they need. Whether they need medication, a long run, some peace and quiet, I will treat them with the love and respect they so rightly deserve!
“This was our first experience with Rover and we could not have dreamed of a better experience! Sara was so sweet and knowledgeable, and sent lots of wonderful photos. The next time we will absolutely go to her first!!”
“Martin was a perfect person for my two dogs. They haven’t stayed away from home before. He was so patient with them and took time out to win Maggie over! They got walked, played, got groomed and mingled with his dogs. Picture of them looked like they all lived there.He made them feel like one of his family. Thanks Martin. We’ll be back!”
About: Hi! It’s just Libby! I don’t know how to get Stephen off my profile but I’ve had a dog in my life since childhood and I LOVE them. I have fostered in the past and have missed dogs so much. My job requires me to travel a bit so I have resorted to Rover to get my pup fix! I can handle any dog and will make sure they are snuggled and loved to the fullest while also cared for adequately. I work remotely full time but have lots of time to go on walks and take care of pups overnight. My week changes from week to week but know when I travel for work a couple weeks ahead at least so should know when I am available. I will adhere to anything you want me to. I follow directions very well and am a bit of a perfectionist. I’ll make sure you dog or dogs are taken care of and loved.
“Was very accommodating for a last minute booking. Positive communication and clearly experienced in dog sitting. Spoiled Flash he was a little disappointed to come home... Would recommend!”
About: Hi Pittsburgh! Just getting my rover account active again now that my partner works from home! We are a pet sitting duo/making sure there is someone with your furry friend all day! Booking with us means excellent service & cleanly people. & someone you can trust with your babies!! we are able to spend all day & night with them so they don’t need to be left alone for longer than an hour or two at a time. I know how hard it is to leave ur pets so i understand the care they need when their favorite humans are gone. My lack of reviews is because I havent had alot of sits on rover I usually book from word of mouth. Lets set up a meet and greet so you can get to know us & we can get to know ur furry friends 🫶🏼 I have a very open schedule and want to spend my days with your pets! I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals Depends on the client’s situation! I can care for pets in my home! if your pet doesnt get along with other dogs thats no problem my dogs stay with my dad while im pet boarding.
About: I grew up with 4 dogs and took care of them since they were puppies and until they passed away. I care for senior dogs and want them to be surrounded by lots of love as they age. Currently enjoying my summer break, I have plenty of free time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available almost every day, at any time, to provide flexible care that fits yours and your pet’s needs. For house sits, I’ll ensure your pets feel at ease in their familiar environment while providing plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I stick to your pet’s routine, whether it’s feeding, walks, or snuggle time, to keep things as normal as possible. For day visits, I’ll stop by to check on your pets, offer playtime, provide meals or medication, and of course, give them the attention they deserve. Whether it's a quick check-in or a full day of fun, I make sure your pets are happy and well cared for!
“The experience with Stacey was excellent and couldn't have hoped for any better. Stacey made us feel completely comfortable and at ease right from the beginning. She took the time to discuss her previous experience and map out how things were going to take place. She introduced Sydney to the other dogs slowly and in a way that made it very stress free and enjoyable for Sydney. Stacey kept us updated with messages and photos of Sydney throughout her stay. Sydney was very happy at the end of the stay. We'd definitely recommend Stacey to anyone looking for a sitter and will be using her again in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since childhood, whether my own, or for friends, family, and neighbors. I will treat your sweet dog or cat as my own. I can go on long or short walks, can administer medications, can play or provide sweet loving attention to your fur babies. I work part-time, so I’m happy to be at your home or taking care of your dog/cat before 9 and after 5 pm on Tuesdays-Thursdays. The other days of the week/weekend I can be there as often as you’d like, for as long as you’d like. I can walk dogs for as long as you need, we can work out a schedule that works best. My yard is partially fenced, so I fully intend to watch your dog during outdoor time if you are not one to use a lead. My house is 3-stories so perfect for any size animal. At the client’s home, I will follow your instructions as close as possible, and can provide a safe and loving presence. The only caveat is my house has 2 cats, so we must be sure the the visiting dog is safe with cats.
“Barrett was a pleasure to work with—he’s easygoing and communicative—and made us feel comfortable about our dog’s stay with regular pictures and updates. We hope to connect with him the next time we need a sitter, because he was great!”
“Bruce had a great time with Gemma and Gizmo! We received regular updates and adorable photos. He loved playing with all the toys and of course snuggling! We will definitely be back - thanks Gemma!”

Regina took extra care of my baby. She made sure he had plenty of play time and plenty of time outside. She was diligent in sending updates, videos and pictures of my baby playing with the other dogs enjoying himself. I’m extremely pleased with the care and attention Regina showed Winston, and I intend on having her watch him again.
Our dog was so spoiled and loved with Coralee and family. We trust Coralee to make the right judgements and calls when it comes to our pup and she always comes back so happy and exhausted from lots of cuddles and play time. Thanks again to Coralee for loving our dog and taking such good care of her!
Natasha is amazing !! I had a weekend getaway planned with family (due to my busy schedule I realized I didn’t communicate with my kids in advance about keeping our dog ) on the day I was due to leave I was debating on canceling my trip and then I found Natasha , she was available to keep him for the weekend . She put my mind at ease immediately upon meeting her , I could tell he would be in good hands She sent me updates several times over the weekend , she did an adorable fall photo shoot with him. My heart was so happy that he was well taken care of and loved all weekend . 😊 I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future for additional bookings !
Truly our dogs are our fur children and leaving them with anyone causes hesitation and Rafael understood that concern. Rafael and his family were absolutely amazing with Giotto. Photographs and updates were sent. The response time for any questions I had was immediate. The transition home was almost painless - it was almost like Giotto had found a second home. I will be using him again for both short- and long-term visits.
I feel so fortunate to have found Tyler to care for my very active and rambunctious 9- month old golden retriever. Tyler is very dog savvy and understood the challenges he had. He walked my dog several times a day meeting new people and dogs. Just the kind of socialization a young dog needs. I loved the daily updates and pictures Tyler sent. My dog seemed to be having such a good time, I doubt he missed me at all.
Kiah is fantastic! She sent frequent updates and pictures and I felt such peace of mind knowing that my dog was loved and having the best time with Kiah and her pets. She did a great job handling my dog’s allergies and reactivity and I would absolutely book with her again.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
