“Disha was absolutely incredible! My wife and I were away for 10 days, and she took amazing care of our cat, Little John, who is truly our pride and joy. She stopped by every day, provided great updates, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Disha is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend!”


“Natalie did a great job watching my nervous cat Luna! She gave me daily updates on how Luna was warming up to her and included some cute pics. Definitely recommend!”

“Eronda was such a caring and loving person whit my maxis, I’m sure they loved to spend this time whit her. She send me updates and pictures everyday after a walk and I can say they were calm, pampered and very happy. Thank you so much Eronda, there’s no better feeling than to know your furry babies are safe and having some love ❤️.”

“Maddi was a responsive, flexible and attentive caretaker for my two young house cats. I really appreciated her prompt communications and the photos she sent gave me peace of mind while I was gone on my week-long trip. Would use again, thanks Maddi!”

“Rachel was a great help when I had to spontaneously leave town for a family thing. She was quick to respond and understanding of the fact that we couldn't meet in person! She took good care of my kitties while I was away. I definitely recommend you work with her if you ever need pet-caring help!”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs all my life. I’ve baby sat for mostly dogs. My cat takes insulin twice a day so can give your pet medication.

I work full time in downtown but I have control of my own schedule so I’m pretty much available for any shift. I work full time in downtown but I control my own work schedule. I’m available whenever.

About: I have taken care of all different kinds of dogs since high school and have grown up with cats! I love animals of all kinds and getting to know them. Most days I work from home so I will be there with your pet most of the day. I don’t have any other pets. I live in an apartment building with many green areas surrounding it and a fenced in dog area. It is a great space for dogs and there are other dogs that live in the building.
About: Veteran and current Pitt Student. I grew up on a farm taking care of dogs, cats, chickens, goats, pigs, cows, and sheep — I’m trustworthy and experienced in caring for animals. I’m available weekdays and most weekends. During the weekdays I’m available at any time of day. Weekends I’m usually free but the sooner you reach out the better.

“Lauren did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. She was on time each day and communicated well, sending us pictures of our kitty every day.”

“Took very good care of my Suki. Checked on her food and water levels and played with her. Noticed when Suki started digging a hole near the fence and made sure to cover what Suki was trying to get to! Thank you so much!!”
“Madison took care of my Jellybean the way I would. Each and every walk and drop in had video and pics that showed a happy dog who was having a great time. My dog is extremely sensitive and intuitive and he took to Madison right away. I would recommend Madison for drop ins, walks or any other service with your pets. She will be my go to from now on!”

“Savanna did a wonderful job with our older dog. And she was willing to assist on short notice and adjust as schedules changed. A pleasure to work with! Thank you!”

Pittsburgh dog parents share their Rover experiences
This is our second time having Ashely sit for us. She has been excellent both times. She is respectful of our home, listens to our asks, and is great with communication. She keeps us updated with pictures through the app which is greatly appreciated and both our dog and cat enjoy her company. Overall, a very good experience, and I highly recommend her!

Jackie was great with our pups! We’ve recently had a mobility issue with our one dog but she was understanding and was able to provide her medicine without any issues. She took our other pup out for a little walk each time in addition to taking them both outside for breaks. I could easily see how much fun our pups had with Jackie in the photos that she sent over!
