1. Regan M.
“Regan has been walking my dog for months! I love having her. During that time my puppy was just 12 weeks old when we started and she’s been so flexible along the way as my puppy learned & grew. Thanks Regan!! 10/10 would recommend!”
2. Kathleen H.
“Kathleen was great. We needed a short-notice stop in so we could attend to a family emergency and she was quick to reply and take the weight of cat care off our minds. She came right on time and sent plenty of pictures of the cats, plus one of their food bowls so we knew they were well fed.”

“Chelsea is doing a great job working with Champies and getting to know her! She is patient and calm and is doing everything she can to get Champies warmed up to her!”
4. Mandie L.
“Mandie is wonderful. I breathe a sigh of relief when I know she's coming over to give my dog a potty break. My dog Mustard loves her!!”
5. Kaysie Y.
“Kaysie was awesome with Archie. She was very quick with her responses and made time to come by before the actual booking date to meet Archie and I. He was immediately excited to have a new friend. We enjoyed our time away knowing Archie was taken care of and enjoyed the pictures she provided as well showing he had a good time. Thanks Kaysie! We hope to have you stop by for Archie again soon.”
6. Lilly H.
“Great care of my cat while I was on vacation! Would definitely book again!”
7. Meghan M.
“I have a Great Dane and Meghan has always been so wonderful with walking her. She is not always a easy walker and she always does great with her. Opal (my great dane) gets so excited to see her and spend time with her! I can recommend Meghan enough to love on your pets when you can't!”
8. Hannah K.
“Hannah was amazing! This was my first time using the Rover app, and I am so pleased with the outcome. I would definitely rebook with Hannah again in the future. She was super responsive, gave me detailed updates, and was wonderful with my dogs. My one dog is very shy with strangers, but Hannah was really good with her. I'm so happy with how everything worked out.”
9. Kirsten S.
“Kirsten was outstanding. She was communicative and easy to work with, and she persevered to make sure the cats were taken care of when the roads to my apartment were randomly closed off by the city for a parade. I will absolutely request Kirsten again.”
10. Stephanie & Benjamin L.
“Stephanie was a life saver when we took a trip to Pittsburgh and needed someone to hang out with our dog while we went to a show. Micah was relaxed and calm when we got back!”
11. Brenda S.
“Brenda was wonderful with our three senior dogs! She administered medicine, dealt with belly bands, and made sure everyone went outside to potty and was doing well. Our dogs liked her and looked very happy in the pictures she sent us. Definitely will be relying on Brenda in the future.”
12. Cori F.
“Cori was awesome! She sent lots of pictures while I was away. My kitties were well taken care of and I didn’t have to worry while I was gone. She even made time for a meet and greet which I really appreciated. I would definitely book again. Thanks Cori!”
13. Tricia N.
About: I am a Fear-Free certified sitter and self-proclaimed cat lady! I have a cuddly void cat at home who I adopted during my time as a volunteer cat cuddler at the Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh. I primarily care for cats, but I grew up with dogs, turtles, fish, and birds so I’m comfortable caring for other furry, feathered, or scaly friends too! I am dedicated to making sure your pet is fed, happy, and healthy. I know trusting someone to watch your pets is very important, so I thank you for considering me for this task! I work a hybrid job so my schedule is usually quite flexible. I’m open to doing morning and evening drop-ins with occasional afternoon drop-ins on the weekdays. I can do drop-ins anytime on weekends, and I serve anywhere in the greater Pittsburgh area. I am very comfortable playing with pets indoors or outdoors for their enrichment. I am also enthusiastic about cuddles if that’s what your pet(s) prefer.
14. Kaley B.
About: I have taken care dogs since I graduated from college in 2014. I have dog sit 2 dogs down south. I would let the owners know how they are doing and send them pics to update on their pets. I have taken care of dogs who need medicines. I can do puppies and older. I have a dog who I take out daily. I work the night shift at UPMC Monday nights to Friday nights into part of Saturday morning 8pm-4:30am. I’m available during the week days and free on the weekends. I make sure the dogs are in safe environment which they are used to by their owners. Owners usually tell me what’s their favorite thing the dogs loves to do. I make sure to include the activities that the owners do. With my past experience I have treated the pets as if they were my own. In the past owners have personally told me what makes their pet feel safe and set rules in house.
15. Grace M.
“Grace was extremely attentive, patient and friendly. Tubby is a nervous dog but warmed up to her quickly. She arrived on time and went over and beyond. Thanks, Grace!”
16. Natalie D.
“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!”
17. Kayla Q.
“This was the first time hiring Kayla and I was impressed! She was prompt in responding to my request and flexible in her timing. She was timely on the day of service and completed all the tasks/care I asked her to do, even taking a picture when each was complete to confirm. She also took multiple cute photos too. All of this was done for a great price. I plan to hire again and recommend!”
18. Tiffany M.
“It was the second time that Tiffany looked after our kitten Nuggy and we could not be happier with her service. She provided quality play time during her visits and excellent care in terms of food and cleaning. We highly recommend her.”
19. Lucy & Matthew A.
“Lucy & Matt take great care of my furbabes! I received a ton of adorable pet pictures every day, as well as pictures of their food & litter situation so I could check that all looked normal. Based on these pictures and the visit descriptions everyday, I could tell that Lucy & Matt were very caring and deliberate in how they spent the time with my pets.”
20. Danielle R.
“Danielle was super helpful and communicative! I would recommend her for anyone, very thankful to have her help Hudson.”
