“Hands down the best sitter I’ve had since moving to Pittsburgh. Caring, attentive and gives you lots of updates. He took great care of Terrence and we’re satisfied and happy we’ve found a sitter we’ll consistently come back to”
2. Victoria K.
“Our pups were very happy and we felt very safe with leaving them with Victoria. She provides constant updates on how they are doing with pictures and videos. Happy with the experience and will reach out to her in the future!”
3. Nelia & Brett M.
“Wow, we are soooo happy to have found such a caring, trustworthy, and communicative family to care for our dog! Nelia cared for our dog for 5 nights and gave so many great updates and pictures throughout, took lots of walks, and treated our dog like part of the family. Her home is super secure with a great backyard, and we had peace of mind knowing our dog was having a fun and relaxing stay. It is always hard to leave our girl, but knowing she was in such good hands and getting lots of love made this the best experience. We are so grateful to have a wonderful go-to for our pup!”
4. Christine B.
“This was our first time using Rover, and Christine made it an unforgettable experience!! Normally we board our dogs, but since we were going on a short weekend trip we wanted to try something different. Christine made the entire process super stress-free. We dropped our pups off at her home, where she let us inside and gave us a rundown of what she'd be doing each day for them (how many times she takes them for walks, where they sleep, etc.). It made me feel so much better knowing exactly where they'd be staying and the details of their care! Christine sent several pictures each day with updates on how they were doing, which made this anxious dog-mom feel at ease. She truly cared for our dogs as if they were her own - she even sent them home with handmade bow-ties for their collars :') Any time we need to go out of town for a few days again, we're booking with Christine!! 10000/10 would absolutely recommend.”
5. Kirsten S.
“Kristen was fantastic. She's very flexible with the schedule and allowed us to pick our pup up throughout our trip so he could join us at the dog friendly locations. We would 100% use her again if needed.”
6. Michael H.
“We are so happy with our dog's care by Michael and his wife while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. Our dog is a nervous dog so they paid close attention to her and she settled in nicely. They sent us updates every day with a photo. We will definitely use them again!”
7. Bianca & Ryan W.
“Bianca and Ryan were so great with Cooper and Luna! They looked so happy and content in all of the photos and videos we received. I will definitely be using them again!”
8. Krista C.
“Krista was absolutely amazing! I really struggle with leaving them with strangers, but she was so accommodating and kept me posted on their stay every day. She made them feel so at home. Everything I would do for them, she did. I absolutely love her and wouldn’t trust them with anyone else.”
9. Maria D.
“Maria made us feel comfortable leaving our Nova with her for a week.. Nova had a wonderful time and I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Maria for taking care of Nova for us.”
10. Sebastian O.
“We were leaving on an extended vacation and needed someone to take care of our dog Remy, and Sebastian was amazing! He gave us frequent updates and sent us pictures throughout our trip which helped ease our anxiety about being separated from our girl for so long! Communication was fantastic and most importantly Remy was happy - cannot recommend Sebastian enough!”
11. Christy M.
“Christy was so so great with Ham! She sent so many pictures and he always looked like he was having a blast. He was returned very happy and exhausted from such a fun weekend playing. I will definitely be using Christy again!”
12. Apolena M.
“Apolena was fantastic with Honey. She was extremely accommodating and regularly updated me on how my dog was settling in, including photos and videos. I really appreciate how she takes care of others' pets; she even informed me that a couple of dogs were supposed to stay with her over the weekend along with Honey, but because they were misbehaving and distressing my dog, she asked their owner to pick them up. Thank you for looking after my little Honey and keeping her safe!”
13. Eronda D.
“Eronda was amazing with my puppy. She constantly sent pics of her playing and socializing with a cat and numerous dogs. My puppy seemed very happy when we picked her up. Eronda was in constant contact throughout our vacation. I would recommend her to anyone!”
14. Kara Z.
“Kara was excellent and graciously welcomed my pup into her home seamlessly! For it being my first time leaving my boy with a stranger, Kara couldn’t have made me feel more at ease. She paid attention to all of my requests to ensure Dunkin felt at home and sent photos and updates everyday. Dunkin thoroughly enjoyed his stay and hanging out with her pup so much it was as if he had went on a vacation too! I would highly recommend trusting Kara with your furry friend!!”
15. Sierra H.
“Sierra was most accommodating to my dog's anxiety levels and care needed. She was kind, patient and communicated well. She gave him some extra love by taking him to the dog park. We would hire her in the future.”
16. Audrey M.
“Bo seemed very at ease at Audrey's house. I appreciated the daily updates on him too! Thank you so much - will rebook if you're available the next time”
