“Mike is one of the most genuine dog sitters I’ve ever trusted my dog with. My dog enjoys the outdoors so I’m glad he took her to the park, on walks, and on an adventure hike. I would absolutely recommend him!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Nelia. This is the second time she has watched our dog, and once again she went above and beyond. It’s such a relief knowing our dog is well cared for while we’re away. Nelia is incredibly attentive and communicative. Our dog is very comfortable with Nelia and her family. I highly recommend Nelia!”
“Tia and Lea are amazing! They're so nice and welcoming! They took great care of our two dogs, sent lots of pictures and videos. It was a big help for me and my husband while we were away, we knew our dogs were well taken care of. We'll definitely choose Tia if we need to board out dogs again.”
“Victoria has taken care of our boys multiple times now, and they are always excited to go back to her! We get photos, videos, and updates every day. She’s always our first choice for dog sitting when we go out of town.”
“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!”
“Damara was wonderful! She was very caring and thoughtful with Theo. From the pictures and communication I could tell that Theo enjoyed his time with Demara and her daughter. Would definitely rebook in the future!”
“Kassandra did an excellent job watching my very quirky and energetic corgi. She sent detailed, daily updates, along with photos which was much appreciated. I would highly recommend Kassandra!”
“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”
“Elizabeth was a great choice to care for my dog Dunkin! She let him make himself right at home in her space and sent consistent pictures and updates allowing me to have great peace of mind while away. Would recommend!”
“Adrienne took our dog for a really nice hike. She is a high energy dog and really needed this. When we picked her up we knew she had been spoiled and loved on.”

“Denise is amazing! My pup was so happy and loved. Her and her husband took great care of my dog and kept me up to date on him throughout everyday with plenty of videos and pictures. Best part is he came home exhausted which is always a great sign that he had so much fun. We will be booking again!”
“Emily and Patrick were great sitters for Nola while we were away attending a wedding. They sent multiple pictures and video updates for us, and Nola had a great time playing with Eli! Thank you so much 😊”

“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.”
“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!”
Pittsburgh dog parents share their Rover experiences
Adrienne was a great host for boarding our dog. She was very responsive and sent us regular updates (photos and videos). Filou, our dog, seemed very happy throughout his week with her and came back home tired and happy. I would highly recommend her for your boarding needs.
Couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Daily updates with pictures provided so much peace of mind while away. Cam paid great attention to my dog’s quirks and preferences, with clear effort to keep everything comfortable and familiar. Genuine care and thoughtfulness made all the difference. Highly recommend!
As always, Riley is so great to our Dexter. Dexter was excited to spend time with Snowy last week and I’m so glad that he gets to have friend time. Riley keeps Dexter active with many walks for which he enjoys. My time away from Dexter is stress free knowing that he is in good hands with Riley and Snowy.
Sam was the best with Kobe. We are from NC and we were in town for a family event and graduation. We couldn’t find anyone in NC to care for Kobe so we decided to look in Pittsburgh and came across and Sam and we are so glad we did. She cared for Kobe and sent us pictures. He even made a new friend, we would definitely book with Sam again.
Jesaun was so extremely friendly and flexible with us. We ended up needing extremely last minute care for our dog and he was able to help us out and even went out of his way to pick her up for us. He was great at taking care of our dog, sent pictures and updates, and made sure she got lots of exercise. I would definitely recommend him.
Audrey was the perfect caregiver for Rufus. I needed to find someone relatively quickly, and Audrey was available and made sure we could squeeze in a meet and greet so Rufus and I would feel comfortable. Rufus is almost 13 and has some health issues requiring meds. He is often reluctant to take the meds and sometimes to eat enough, but Audrey was successful in making sure he got what he needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Audrey any time!!!
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.
Elizabeth was amazing!! We took our 12 year old small dog, who has alot of anxiety and issues with being left alone and I have never seen her so happy with a sitter!! Elizabeth gave our Mia so much attention and love that we were afraid that she wouldn't want to come home with us. I hope that she never stops dog sitting because I am sure we will never find someone as perfect for our Mia as Elizabeth.
